On June 26, 2012, the City of Miami Police Department (MPD) was notified of an Edward
Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) award, in the amount of $351,115, from
the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs. In order to officially accept
this grant, all award documents must be properly signed by City officials and returned to
the U.S. Department of Justice within 45 days from the date of notification. This gives the
City of Miami until the latest August 27, 2012, to comply with all requirements for
acceptance.
The Miami Police Department has been approved to use these grant funds to purchase
twelve (12) fully equipped marked police vehicles to add to its fleet operations, as
allowable under the JAG Purpose Area of Law Enforcement Programs.
Due to the urgency of this matter, MPD is respectfully requesting your favorable
consideration to accept the attached resolution for inclusion at the July 26th, 2012, City
Commission meeting. Please note that failure to comply with the stipulated deadline may
result in the loss of grant funding.
