ANALYSIS
1) Approval to submit a qrant application in an amount not to exceed $30.000 to the State
of Florida Department of Law Enforcement. BYRNE Grant proqram. for FY 2005-2006
qrant funds. leveraqinq $6.365 of Police Departmental Law Enforcement Trust Funds
as a match.
The Administration requests approval to authorize the City Manager or his designee to
submit a grant application for funding to the State of Florida, Department of Law
Enforcement, through Miami-Dade County Department of Human Services (DHS) in an
amount not to exceed $30,000. The County was awarded these Federal funds through the
State of Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Office of Criminal Justice from the
Federal Drug Control System Improvement Formula Grant Program.
The purpose of the Byrne grant is to promote the States' efforts to prevent and control
crime, violence and drug abuse and to improve the criminal justice systems. Units of local
government must use Byrne Program funds to implement projects that offer a high
probability of improving the functioning of the criminal justice system, aggressively and
effectively responding to violent crime, or reducing drug trafficking and abuse.
As such, the City's request for funds will be used for hardware and software to support an
electronic uniform citation system (e-ticketing). E-ticketing will reduce the amount of time
that a police officer takes to issue a citation, thus, allowing for more neighborhood services
such as patrol, quality of life initiatives, and resource networking and coordination. In
addition, in accordance with the grant guidelines, Miami Beach will continue to use these
grant funds to purchase software and hardware used to access criminal justice information
data. The use of these devices will provide officers with the capability of checking suspects
for outstanding violations and/or warrants. The Byrne program has a 5-year strategy
funding program and this request is for the third year of the Records Improvement
Program.
The grant requires a cash match, in the amount of $6,365, which will be leveraged from the
Police Department Law Enforcement Trust Fund.
