BACKGROUND: The Department of Police has approximately 6,000 reported domestic violence incidents annually and investigated twenty-four (24) domestic related homicides in 1994. The Department requested and received a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice to establish the Domestic Violence Intervention Program as a pilot project within two Miami neighborhoods. The neighborhoods, Allapattah and Little Haiti, were selected as they account for nearly one-third of all domestic violence cases. The program's objectives are: extensive publicity to encourage more incident reporting; increased training for police officers; more cases in which injunctions are obtained; intensive follow-up with victims to assure legal and economic remedies are pursued; enhanced linkages with programs offering treatment to those battered; specialized counseling and support to children living in abusive environments; and establishment of a Fatality Review Board to thoroughly examine and analyze all cases of domestic homicide. To accomplish these objectives the U.S. Department of Justice has awarded the Department a grant in the amount of $254,318.00 which will be used to hire an administrator and two counselors, and to pay for equipment, supplies, contractual services and miscellaneous expenses. The total grant amount includes a $104,318.00 match required of the City of Miami; however, the match is for in -kind services consisting primarily of salaries and office supplies. This Ordinance is hereby declared to be an emergency measure on the grounds of the necessity of the City of Miami to make the required and necessary payments to its employees and officers, necessary and required purchases of goods and supplies, and to generally carry on the functions and duties of municipal affairs. 11412 1 MIAMI DAILY BUSINESS REVIEW Published Daily except Saturday, Sunday and Legal Holidays Miami, Dade County, Florida.
