INTERNAL MEMO Date: July 2, 2013 To: From: Major John Hale DLE/Patrol Region North Captain Robert Schnakenberg Deerfield Beach District Subject: 2013 JAG Grant Budget Proposal The City of Deerfield Beach was incorporated in 1925 and encompasses 16.25 square miles with a population of 75,000. During the winter months, the population may exceed 100,000. In 1990, the Broward Sheriff s Office (BSO) entered into a police service contract with the City of Deerfield Beach. That current contract is subject for renewal in September of 2015. Deerfield Beach is being allocated $28,610. The BSO Bureau of Grants Management will deduct a 7.23% administrative fee and earmark $7,500 to fund a Crime Analyst position. The remaining balance of $19042 will fund projects by our Community Affairs Team (CAT), Selective Enforcement Team (SET) and Criminal Investigations Unit (CIU). Deerfield Beach is requesting $13,500 of the 2013 JAG Grant award to fund deputy overtime for a variety of law enforcement programs including, but not limited to, drug and crime prevention initiatives. The Police Athletic League (PAL) program, which focuses its attention on at-risk youths, offers a positive alternative to crime and gang activity. School teachers, counselors and school resource deputies, identify at-risk youths and refer them to this program, which currently offers the following sporting curriculums: boxing, girl s soccer and softball, golf, tennis, weightlifting, and wrestling. Recently, a music production and disc jockey component was added. The Community Liaison Deputy Program was established at Westside Park during the summer of 2007 and has proven successful in eradicating the park of criminal and gang activity. Our partnership with the City of Deerfield Beach Parks and Recreation Department has provided neighborhood youths with after-school programs, field trips and summer camps. Moreover, our external partnerships have grown to offer back-to-school events, whereby school supplies and backpacks are donated to less fortunate children. Proactive crime prevention initiatives will be conducted to address illicit drug activity and property crimes within the City of Deerfield Beach. Funding will allow for operational plans that will target the City s violent and property crimes, and gang and narcotics-related activities.
The remaining $5,542 balance of said JAG Grant funds will be allocated to purchase supplies, promotional giveaways and educational materials by our CAT and SET teams and our CIU unit for drug awareness and drug prevention, and crime awareness and crime prevention.
