ENCLOSURES: Charitable Foundation -
(LEO Foundation)
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
authorizing a contribution to the Law Enforcement Officer's Charitable Foundation (LEO
Foundation), in an amount not to exceed $100,000.
Funding is to be provided from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund, Project Nos. 690001, 690002,
and 690003.
BACKGROUND
The Miami Police Department supports groups like the LEO Foundation. Recently, the heads of
all law enforcement agencies operating in Dade County (federal, state and local) united to create
this foundation. The LEO foundation immediately set forth a three -program goal - community
involvement, recognition of excellence in law enforcement, and most importantly, an initial project
to build a nationally recognized, first of its kind, Officer's Safety and Survival Center for officer
training.
The LEO Foundation will, in cooperation with existing organizations such as Big Brothers/Big
Sisters of Miami, assist in mentoring programs. The foundation's goal is to unify the community
and provide contact with our law enforcement personnel, as friends of our young people.
They will also provide annual award ceremonies to honor outstanding leadership in the law
enforcement field. These awards will acknowledge our law enforcement leaders and heroes who
risk their lives to help keep us safe.

Additionally, the foundation will establish the Safety and Survival Center for officer training.
Training will focus on the emerging field of "less than lethal force". Utilizing the latest state-of-
the-art equipment, the Center will provide training experiences for officers to provide them with
the skills to utilize the least amount of force necessary, thereby, creating a safer environment for
both officers and the public they serve.
