ATTACHMENT "A"
In July 1990, the Police Department instituted a program to encourage the youth of our community to
"do the right thing." Funding is being requested for the continuation of this program which rewards
youth for being leaders in the community, not using drugs, portraying a positive image and excelling
in education. Another benefit of this program is that it allows children, living in high -crime areas, to
interact with uniformed police officers in non -confrontational settings, thereby establishing positive
associations and enhancing mutual respect. The program directly impacts approximately 6,000
children annually through its awards program and hundreds more through community events,
activities and projects.
The "Do The Right Thing" program has grown, since its inception, by attracting various influential
sponsors. The major sponsors includes: The Miami Herald, British Airways, WTVJ-NBC 6, Publix
Super Markets Charities, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Bank Atlantic Foundation, Florida
Marlins, Florida Allstate Foundation and United Automobile Insurance Group, all having been
instrumental in the advertising and promotion of the program.
