ITCHELL S. 6RAF CITY ATTORNEY I Al�$ - �0-0- Exhibit 1 DATE: MEMO TO: MEMO FROM: SUBJECT: KEN JENNE SHERIFF BROWARD COUNTY P.O. BOX 9507 FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA 33310 March 4, 2005 2005-53 Diane Phillips Assistant City Manager Chief Kenneth N. Dugger District 7/Tomarac Justice Assistant Grant (Formerly LLEBG) Attached is the 2004 Local Law Enforcement Lock Grant Funds Allocation Funds Request. Last year $11,003 were awarded to the city for this project. Justice Assistant Grant Funds (J.A.G.) for 2005 that is available to the City of Tamarac is $15,567.00. Based on a review of previous and current projects I recommended the following funds allocation for the 2005 J.A.G. SUMMER CAMP SECURITY. $4,000 Continuation of funding security for the City of Tamarac Parks and Recreation Department Summer Camp Program. This program provides security to youthful attendees who are participating in park sponsored programs. These programs are designed to teach children craft skills and sports skills and at the same time funding provides for security for children and employees participating in these programs. Should you have any questions in reference to the above mentioned matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. COMMUNITY SAFETY AND DUI AWARNESS AND PREVENTION: $3,400 Funds will be alleged to purchase a computer and associated software and hardware for a community safety program known as the "Are You O.K. Program" this computer program is designed for older adults, disabled persons, shut-ins and anyone in our community who lives alone and needs to be checked on daily, but has no one to do this. The computer automatically calls the resident at home at the same time everyday, at a time specified by the resident, seven days a week to make sure the resident is OK. The message will state, "Good morning, Are you OKV In the event that the resident does not answer the telephone, the computer will call back twice in a short span of time. if there is still no answer, the computer will alert the Sheriff's Office and in turn will dispatch a deputy to the residence to investigate. (Cost - $2525) DUI AWARNESS PROGRAM: (Fatal Vision Impairment Simulation Program - Cost $875) The Fatal Vision Impairment Simulation Program is comprised of a kit which contains Videos which educate drivers on the physical effects of drunk driving, it can also contain instructor guides reproducible student handouts along with goggles that the student will wear. The goggles simulate day and night driving and have three different types of impairment the simulate mild to extreme intoxication. This program would be used in the education of student drivers to educate them on the hazards of driving under the influence. This new community program would be the first of its type presented by the Sheriff's Office for the City of Tamarac residents. SUPPLEMENTAL POLICE PROTECTION: $8,167 This allocation provides for unbudgeted special operations or patrol deployment to combat Truancy, drug and criminal selective enforcement activities. This is a continuation of funding for overtime to be utilized for truancy intervention, decoy and enforcement operations, as well as for proactive drug enforcement operations. These programs, it is believed will serve an identified interest in maintaining crime prevention, traffic accident reduction and associated criminal activity from truancy and specialized targeted crime incidents, These programs have previously recorded much success in the overall impact it has had in reducing crime and fear of crime in the community. I look forward to discussing any of these issues for presentation to the Tamarac City Commission. Should you have any questions in reference to the above mentioned matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. KND:dmc Cc: Diane Phillips, Assistant City Manager Justice Assistant Grant (LLEBG)
