Mr. Chircut:
The Office of Justice Programs has approved the City of Miami Police Department's (MPD) application for funding under the FY 2005 Paul Coverdell
Forensic Science Improvement Grant in the amount of $95,000.
These funds will be used by the Technical Services (TS) Unit of the MPD to purchase a Motorola Omnitrack AFIS Equipment. This equipment will be used
to reduce the backlog of latent fingerprint cases to be analyzed, and allow the TS Unit to use its human resources in a more effective manner. The cost for
the before -mentioned equipment is $115,000. Therefore, MPD's cash match is $20,000_ These funds will come from the TS unit.

deposited to recipient accounts by the US Treasury through the Automated Clearing House (ACH). The Automated Clearing House (ACH) enrollment form
