Just under 80,000 permanent residents live in the County. The Monroe County Sheriffs Office is the primary law enforcement agency providing service to the citizens of the county. To best meet the needs of the citizens, the Sheriff?s Office has divided its area of responsibility into sectors. The Middle Keys jurisdictional area is comprised of two sectors, Sector 4, the city of Marathon, from the north end of the 7 mile bridge to Tom's Harbor Cut Bridge at the 60.5 mile marker of the Overseas Highway; and Sector 5, from Tom's Harbor Cut Bridge to the Islamorada city limits, at the 74 mile marker of the Overseas Highway. For the Middle Keys Sector the Sheriff?s Office has assigned a Captain, 4 Sergeants and 11 Deputies to provide community -based law enforcement services. In this area the Sheriffs Office answers service requests, investigates crimes, serves warrants and summons, conducts property checks, consults with local business owners, government officials, school officials, and citizens, conducts security checks, enforces traffic laws, and responds to back-up when directed. it also provides access to aviation, bomb squad, crime scene processing, major crime detective and investigative, hostage negotiation, and other law enforcement and support services when needed. In addition to combating crime, the Sheriff?s Office must find a way to fight budget shortfalls which threaten its ability to provide the level of law enforcement necessary to keep the community safe. In 2008, the Sheriff?s Office budget was cut by 13% which led to the reduction of 30 positions throughout Monroe County including the loss of 21 law enforcement officer positions. The budget outlook for future years looks just as bleak. In light of tight future budgets the Sheriff?s Office must find ways to increase the efficiency of its law enforcement officers. in addition to budget concerns, the Sheriff?s Office faces a constant criminal threat. The Office of National Drug Control Policy wrote that the Caribbean, considered a natural bridge between North and South America, serves as a transshipment region for drugs destined for United States, African, and European markets. its strategic location and hundreds of islands and Gays, combined with a large volume of both commercial and non-commercial air/maritime movement, makes the Caribbean and attractive region for drug trafficking organizations seeking to conceal illicit activities. This places the Florida Keys on the front line of the war on drugs because the islands of the Florida Keys offer a tempting entry point into the United States. According to a March 2000 Office of National Drug Control Policy Fact Sheet on Drug -Related Crime, trafficking in illicit drugs tends to be associated with the commission of violent crimes. Because of the ever-present threat of violent crime, the Sheriff?s Office must use technology to keep ahead of the criminals. In addition to staying prepared for the threat of violent crime, the Sheriff?s Office must deal with the day-to-day issues of a small community including that associated with traffic enforcement. The entire island chain of the Florida Keys is connected by the Overseas Highway, a highway which serves as the main street for Florida Keys communities and as the main highway for tourists traveling through the Keys. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2006, there were 38,568 fatal crashes resulting in 42,642 Application Ref # 2010-ARRC-320 Section #2 Page 1 of 4 Contract -ARRC-MONR- - - Rule Reference 11 D-9.006 OCJG-005 (rev. April 2005) Application for Funding Assistance Florida Department of Law Enforcement American Recovery Act - JAG Countywide deaths in the United States. Although only 23% of the US population fives in rural areas, rural fatalities accounted for 55% of all traffic fatalities in 2006. Crash data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety from 2004 bears this out. Miami -Dade County, which is the most populous county in Florida, also has a reputation for being one of the most dangerous areas for driving in the country. in 2004 Miami -Dade County, with a population of 2,253,362, suffered 46,166 crashes resulting in 318 fatalities. in 2004, Monroe County, with a population of 79,589, suffered 1,548 crashes resulting in 30 fatalities. When comparing crash rates, Miami -Dade County had 20 crashes for every 1000 people and Monroe County had 19 crashes for every 1000 people. When comparing fatality rates, Miami -Dade County had 1 fatality for every 10,000 people and Monroe County had a fatality rate of 4 for every 10,000 people. To address this, the Sheriff?s Department must find way to improve the enforcement of traffic safety laws. Considering the budget, violent crime, and traffic enforcement concerns cited above, the Sheriff?s Office held a meeting to . They identified the need to acquire te conduct a needs assessment for the Middle Keys Sector following technology to protect the officers and citizens of Marathon and make law enforcemenh t more efficient: in car DVD video recorders, tasers, hand-held and dash -mounted radar, night vision devices, and tint meter devices, Project Summary Craig Floyd, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund stated that in 2007 the nation?s law enforcement officers were confronted with more brazen, heavily -armed and cold-blooded criminals than they have faced in many years. Police death statistics for 2007 confirmed this. in that year, 186 officers were killed nation wide, an increase of more than 28 percent from the previous year. The trend of more brazen, heavily - armed criminals has made its way around the country including to Monroe County. On March 10, 2009 while trying to apprehend a federal fugitive, officers from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Monroe County Sheriff?s Office were forced to shoot the suspect when he threatened them with a loaded assault rifle. This incident serves as a sober reminder of the threats law enforcement faces each day. One of the ways to increase officer safety is through the judicious introduction of technology. The Sheriff?s Office identified two items as pressing needs to counter violent suspects: night vision devices and Lasers, a non -lethal technology device. One of the most dangerous situations for an officer is perforating duties in low -light conditions where vision is limited. Night vision devices are designed to amplify the available light to provide the Officer the advantage over potential threats through better vision. The purchase of night vision devices which can be used in conjunction with video equipment provides patrol officers a valuable tool to during low visibility scenarios. In addition to night vision technology, use of non -lethal technology, like tasers, is becoming more prominent. A taser is designed to temporarily incapacitate or restrain an individual when lethal force is not appropriate by shooting barbs to the body which supply an incapacitating electrical shock. Tasers provide officers an additional option to safely subdue violent suspects and to potentially reduce the need to employ deadly force in certain scenarios. A recent incident in unincorporated Monroe County highlights this. When Shenff?s Officers responded to a domestic incident, they encountered a suspect brandishing a sword. They safely resolved the incident by subduing the suspect with a taser. Violence can occur during other seemingly routine encounters. To protect officer safety during traffic stops, the Sheriff?s Office would like to step up its enforcement of Florida?s window tinting law. Window tinting has become popular over the past years because it keeps drivers cool. However, tint that too dark presents a hazard to officers. Last year in New York, a police officer was shot and killed when he a is approached a sports utility vehicle with darkened windows. Window tint meters Application Ref # 2010 ARRC-320 Contract -ARRC-MOLAR- - - Section #2 Page 2 of 4 Rule Reference 11D-9.006 OCJG-005 (rev. April 2005) Application for Funding Assistance Florida Department of Law Enforcement American Recovery Act - JAG Countywide the window tint law to help protect officers. Window finting is only one concern of traffic law enforcement. The Monash University Accident Research Center conducted a review of international literature relating to traffic law enforcement. The specific areas examined included alcohol, speed, seat belts and signalized intersections. The study documented the types of traffic enforcement methods and the range of options available to policing authorities to increase the overall efficiency, in terms of cost and human resources, and effectiveness of enforcement operations. The general conclusions of the study were that the success of enforcement is dependent on its ability to create a meaningful deterrent threat to road users. To achieve this, the primary focus should be on increasing surveillance levels to ensure that perceived apprehension risk is high. The study also found that significantly increasing the actual level of enforcement activity is the most effective means of increasing the perceived risk of apprehension. One of the ways to increase the level of surveillance is through technology. Radar and laser detection devices are complementary technologies which provide different capabilities. Radar allows officers to track multiple vehicles and to track vehicles while moving. Laser allows officers to target specific vehicles in congested areas and is more weather -resistant. The purchase of hand-held and dash -mounted radars together with hand-held laser device provides a multitude of capabilities to enforce traffic laws more efficiently by promoting deterrence through an increased perception of enforcement level. In addition to radar and laser devices the Sheriffs Department has identified the need to purchase in car DVD recorders. In a White Paper entitled, Enforcement In -Car Video Capabilities, Larry Sharp, in citing the value of police video wrote that video recording technology is an asset for any officer -citizen contact, citizen transport in police car, and probable cause related questions. Typical benefits are increased conviction rates, less time in court proceedings and litigation, increased officer awareness of their conduct, training situations and reinforcement, and overall easier understanding of any (recorded) situation. in a time of shrinking budgets, the benefits realized in time savings and efficiency are a must to maintain the needed level of law enforcement services. The Middle Keys Sector of the Monroe County Sheriffs Office will procure vision devices, and tint meters with reference samples. in car DVD video recorders, Lasers, hand-held radar, dash -mounted radars, laser device, night Contract Section #2 Page 3 of 2010-A R R C-M O N R-T- W)'- Rule Reference 11D-9.MN; nr r-_nnc ­. ._ Application for Funding Assistance Florida Department of Law Enforcement American Recovery Act - JAG Countywide Section Questions: Question: Does the Subgrantee receive a single grant in the amount of $500,000 or more from the U.S. Department of Justice?
