Subject: A resolution accepting a $45,000 grant award from the South Florida High Intensity Drug
Trafficking Area (HIDTA1 for the Crime and Drug Demand Reduction Program.
Purpose of Item:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution establishing a
new special revenue fund entitled: "South Florida High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA)
Crime and Drug Demand Reduction Program IX," and appropriating a grant award in the amount of
$45,000, from the South Florida High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA); further authorizing
the City Manager to designate the Chief of Police to execute the necessary documents, for said
purpose. No matching funds are required of the City of Miami.
Background Information:
The Police Department will utilize these funds, which are available through the Monroe County
Sheriffs Office, to support its efforts to eliminate or significantly reduce drug trafficking and related
crime, to reduce or eliminate factors leading to drug abuse, and to nurture and develop indigenous
leadership to assist residents in attaining self sufficiency in "at risk" communities.
The strategy is to continue the attack on crime through intensive enforcement resulting in arrests and
convictions in federal and state courts and the seizure of contraband and assets of drug traffickers,
drug dealers, career criminals and violent crime offenders active in the selected communities.
Specific attention will also be placed on truancy reduction. Enforcement will be reduced to a
maintenance level over time while residents and leaders are empowered to sustain the reduced crime
level, recovery and growth of the community. This will be accomplished through leadership skill
development for adult and youth members, the creation or enhancement of community -based
coalitions, employment preparation, job placement, grantsmanship training, and youth tutoring and
mentoring.
