authorizing the funding of the "Do The Right Thing" Program, and allocating funds therefor, in
an amount not to exceed $165,500.00. Funding is available from the Law Enforcement Trust

BACKGROUND
The Miami Police Department instituted a program to encourage the youth of our community to
"do the right thing." This program rewards youth for being leaders in the community, not using
drugs, portraying a positive image and excelling in education. The program also allows children
living in high -crime areas to interact with uniformed police officers in non -confrontational
settings establishing positive associations and enhancing mutual respect.
Since its inception, the "Do The Right Thing" program has grown by attracting a number of
influential sponsors. Major sponsors include: Norman Shulevitz Foundation, American Express,
Bank Atlantic Foundation, British Airways, The Miami Herald ,WTVJ-NBC 6, Publix
Supermarkets, Carnival Cruise Lines, Don & Hedy Carlin and Planet Hollywood, have been
instrumental in the advertising and promotion of the program.
