ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission authorize
the donation of $5,000 from the Police Confiscation Fund to the
Dade Crime Stoppers Program.
BACKGROUND
The Dade Crime Stoppers Program has been very successful in
bringing to justice many criminals who otherwise would not have
been apprehended. The Dade Crime Stoppers is supported with
manpower from the Metro-Dade and Miami Police Departments. Funds
used for rewards to persons supplying information, however, are
received from donations. The program is experiencing serious
financial problems.
ANALYSIS
The Dade Crime Stoppers has assisted in solving many serious crimes
including the murder of a police officer and several other murders,.
This is a valuable and worthwhile program.
CONCLUSION
This donation of $5,000 to the Dade Crime Stoppers will assist
residents of Miami Beach. The City of Miami Beach funding has been
met by comparable amounts from the Metro-Dade, City of Miami, City
of North Miami and City of Miami Shores Police Departments among
others.
