It is respectfully recommended that a Resolution allocating funds ?
for the establishment of a Robbery Task Force; in the approximate `
amount of $26,000, be approved.

BACKGROUND-.
The Police Department has documented a 23% increase in the number =_
of robberies reported within the City of Miami. In an effort to
combat this increase in crime the Department has identified
several establishments as high risk robbery targets. The funding
requested to establish a Robbery Task Force would be utilized to
purchase equipment which would expand the number of businesses.
that could be surveilled by a limited number of investigators.
The equipment would also be utilized to prepare cases for _
courtroom appearances and assist in obtaining a -more successful
conviction rate.
It is, therefore, recommended that the Resolution allocating
funds for the establishment of a Robbery Task Force, at an
approximate cost of $26,000, funding to be provided from the Law
Enforcement Trust Fund, Project No. 690001, Index Code 029002-
247, be approved. _
