MEMO TO: Jeff Miller, City Manager

MEMO FROM: Chief Kenneth Dugger
District VII/TamaracZ-4-�
SUBJECT: 2003 LLEBG Funds Allocation Request
This information is being forwarded pursuant to your request, to provide you with
a description and cost breakdown of our initiatives requested to be funded
through the 2003 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant. The grant has allocated a
total of $24,163 to the City of Tamarac for 2003.
TRAFFIC ACCIDENT REDUCTION INITIATIVE: $ 4,163
This request provides funding to target accident reductions in the city. The cost
associated with this request is $4,163. This funding will be used for the purchase
of traffic enforcement to include items such as tint meters, computer programs
and other items for enforcement of traffic laws and accident reduction initiatives.
CAUGHT BEING GOOD BICYCLE REWARD PROGRAM: $ 4,000
We recognize the importance of addressing truancy issues and criminal related
matters and have varied our initiatives to serve these different needs. One (1)
of these programs, "Caught Being Good" Bicycle Reward Program is one of
those initiatives previously approved. The `Bicycle Reward Program" was
designed to give school children additional incentives to stay in school, obtain
passing grades, have good behavior and be of good character. Challenger
Elementary School utilized the "Caught Being Good" program, which identifies
children with good citizenship and behavior. The Caught Being Good program
is a spin off of the Broward County School Boards' "Kids of Character"
recognition program. Teachers from each grade level at Tamarac Elementary
and Challenger Elementary chose students from their classes with good
behavior (no 3's) and good grades (C or higher) on their report cards. The
names of all eligible students were then submitted for the drawing to win a
bicycle and safety helmet. The Police Executive Research Form, an academic
police program resource, has requested information on this initiative for
presentation nationwide.
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.
SUPPLEMENTAL POLICE PROTECTION: $12,000
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.
