FEDERAL & STATE GRANT STATUS 2006 Texarkana/Miller County DOJ/Justice Administration Grant (JAG) Expires 01/01/08 The police department currently uses the DOJ JAG funds to pay for the salary and fringe benefits to continue the employment of our full-time civilian complaint/warrant officer. This position allows for the redeployment of a commissioned police officer to field patrol duties instead of being continually called to headquarters to take walk-in complaints, handle warrants, and subpoenas. In his/her capacity of warrant service officer, calls are made to individuals that have outstanding warrants and arrangements are made for these individuals to come in and turn themselves in. The funds used will amount to $34,438.00 over a two year period. 2007 DOJ Bulletproof Vest Grant: Expires 12/31/2007 This grant pays one half of purchase cost of bullet proof body armor for police officers. National Institute of Justice Standards (BJA/NIJ) recommends that body armor be replaced every five years and the agency provides body armor for every officer and replaces it according to NIJ replacement recommendations. We anticipate these funds will carry over into the FY 2008 budget year and will keep you posted. 2007 DWI Traffic Enforcement Grant: Expires 09/30/07 This grant pays overtime for DWI, speed, and occupant protection enforcement. The Federal amount is $87,900. The State amount is $4,000. We have an in-kind local match of $47,000 from the regular police budget. Local match (in-kind) uses a salary off-set from one of the patrol officers assigned to the Special Operations Traffic Section as match.
This program started in 1991 and has been funded for approximately 14 years. This grant overlaps our budget year due to the State of Arkansas being on a different fiscal year. 2006 Bi-State Narcotics Task Force Grant: Expires 06/30/07 This grant pays the salaries for TAPD personnel in the Bi-State Narcotics Task Force. This is a multil-jurisdicitional task force consisting of TAPD, TTPD & MSCO personnel. This is our longest running grant project. It funds the salaries of five police officers. The federal amount is $181,113, state amount is $36,223, and local match is $169,713. Miller County will contribute $25,490 to the project in match. Our task force has been one of the more successful in the State of Arkansas. We have heard some rumors from the Office of Intergovernmental Services there will be a reduction in funding of all Narcotic Task Forces in Arkansas for next year. The grant total of $387,059 for this fiscal year is a revised figure. 2006 STOP Violence Against Women Act Grant: Expires 09/30/07 This grant pays the full salary of a police investigator to investigate all cases involving violent crimes committed against women. The grant also pays the salary for a police liaison position (case coordinator). The state amount is $75,541, and the local in-kind match is $28,073 for a total of $103,614. 2006 Texarkana Housing Authority General Fund Officer Positions: Expires 11/31/07 The THA s share is $85,000.00 and the city picks up the balance needed for salary and fringe for two officers. THA officers are primarily responsible for Texarkana Housing Authority property. The approximate match is 75% federal and 25% local match. The funds received from THA have been deposited into the regular salary line item to simplify our budget tracking.
2004 COPS In Schools Grant: Expires 03/31/2007 This three year grant funds two (2) police officers for assignment to TASD as School Resource Officers. One SRO will be assigned to Arkansas High School and one at North Heights Junior High School. The Texarkana Arkansas School District has agreed in principal to continue to fund the positions for an additional two budget cycles after the federal portion expires, which will in reality fund the two officers through 03/31/09.
