RECEIVED
I am pleased to inform you that an award for your department has been approved in the
amount of $30,000. This award is from the South Florida High Intensity Drug Trafficking
Area Violent Crimes and Drug Trafficking Organization (VCDTO) initiative, to support your
investigative efforts pertaining to "Operation Guess Who's Back."
This award is to be used in support of law enforcement operations designed to dismantle or
disrupt the violent Drug Trafficking Organization (DTO) your agency identified in its
proposal. In the past; traditional law enforcement methods have failed to combat criminal
organizations as thoroughly as the severity of their crimes have warranted, therefore we
strongly encourage you to utilize these funds to target this DTO by way of Racketeer
Jnfluenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) legislation, given that this is a highly effective
method of dismantling criminal organizations.
This award is specifically for reimbursement of overtime incurred by law enforcement
officers participating in "Operation Guess Who's Back" within your jurisdiction, during the
twelve-month period commencing July 21, 2009 and ending July 22, 2010. Any funds not
expended during this period will be relinquished to HIDTA. This award does not include
reimbursement of fringe benefits. Funds must be spent in compliance with established
HIDTA program policy, including multi -agency participation, collocation and the HIDTA
intelligence sharing plan. Your organization will be reimbursed on a monthly basis after a
complete and detailed report of the previous month's cxpenses is submitted to Genii
Cockshutt, South Florida HIDTA Fiscal Officer; this report must be submitted on a monthly
basis.
In addition to the financial report, a monthly report detailing the progress of the investigation
is to be forwarded to Captain .Toe Mendez, Coordinator of the VCDTO initiative, no later
than the fifth day of the follm«,ing month. Arrests, criminal charges, asset forfeitures,
seizures, and violent acts documented during the reporting period are to be listed. Indications

you accept the aforementioned stipulations, please indicate this with your signature and the
signature of your agency's Finance Director below and return this document to Captain
Mendez at 11200 NRS 2011' Street Miami, FL. 33172.
