Resolution For Office of Juvenile
Justice & Delinquency Prevention
(OJJDP) Grant Application
Juvenile Runaway Project
One (1)
The Miami Police Department is presently in the process of developing
the final grant application for the second year of funding for the
above referenced grant. This project is funded through the OJJDP.
There is no requirement for local match.
In its second year of funding, this project will continue to address
runaway youth and their families in an humane, professional, social
service mode. Attention to the client's home, school, and community
adjustment, as well as the youth's characteristics, will be assessed
through direct individual and family interventions, in addition to
review and direct contact with school authorities.
Once the problems are identified through the various diagnostic ac-
tivities, adequate actions will be sought via the many community -
based social service programs in this local area.
This Department contends that by addressing the acting out youth
(and his/her family) at the earliest point of contact with the
police agency, a significant reduction in subsequent delinquent
and/or criminal activity of the addressed group will be obtained.
The funding breakdown for this grant is as follows:
Office o- Juvenile Justice
& Delinquency Prevention $106,477
City of Miami Match . . . . . . . . -0-
Total Budget . . . . . . . . . . . . $106,477
The Office of Juvenile Justice & Delinquency Prevention requires that a
formal resolution from the City Commission be attached to the appli-
cation. The proposed resolution, which conforms to the conditions set
forth in the "Subgrant Application and Instructions Manual", is attached.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
