Attached is a Resolution of the Miami City Commission to establish a new Special Revenue
Project entitled: "School Resource Officer Project" consisting of a grant from the Miami -Dade
County Office of Grants Coordination, in the amount of $16,445; authorizing the City Manager to
enter into an agreement, with Miami -Dade County to accept said grant award and to execute the
necessary documents, in substantially the attached form, to implement the acceptance and
administration of said grant.
This funding will allow the Miami Police Department to increase the level of services provided to
our community. Specifically, the department will use School Resource Officers to identify and
deter truancy amongst the student population. Truancy efforts will be directed to middle and high
school age youth. The School Resource Officers will increase the number of truancy sweeps
during the school year; they will provide crime prevention educational classes to all targeted
schools; and will require all truants to participate in monthly diversionary activities, as well as anti -
crime prevention sessions together with their parents.
Upon signing the appropriate documents, please return the entire package to the Business
Management Section for further distribution.
Should you have any questions, or need additional information, please contact me at extension
