Special Revenue Fund
REFERENCES:
ENCLOSURES:
It is respectfully recommended that an Ordinance establishing a
Special Revenue Fund entitled: "Police Hiring Supplement,"
accepting a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, in the
amount of $1,950,000 and appropriating funds for the operation of
same, be adopted.
BACKGROUND:
The Miami Police Department is committed to the concept of
community policing through the N.E.T. (Neighborhood Enhancement
Team) Program. The City is divided into small geographical areas
and a police officer is assigned to tackle the crime problems of
his area. Problem areas are saturated with police presence
through the use of IMPACT (Intense Mobilization of Police Against
Criminal Trends) teams. This concept of community policing has
been very successful since its inception in 1992. The community
takes an active part in reporting any violations occurring within
their area. The U.S. Department of Justice has awarded the City
a grant for $1,950,000 for the hiring of 26 additional police
officers. The grant will be administered by the Grants
Coordinator, and matching funds are required.
This Ordinance is being requested on an emergency basis on the
grounds of urgent public need for the preservation of peace,
health, safety, and property c;f the City of Miami.
