RE: Agenda Item - Request for Expenditures from Law Enforcement Trust Fund
Dear Mr. Roberts:
I would like to request that the Commission authorize the following
expenditures from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund:
$10,000 This sum, matched by contributions in the same amount from
the Sheriff's Offices of Seminole, Brevard, and Orange Counties, will be used by the
Florida Sheriff's Association to fund a proposal by the Florida Network of Youth
and Family Services. The Network will use the funds to hire a statewide Safe Place
Coordinator-a position designed to focus on the needs of runaway, homeless, and at-
risk youth. After the fIrst year of the program is funded through law enforcement
trust funds, the Network will seek business sponsorships to continue the initiative.
$1,795 This will purchase basketball goals and related equipment for
the construction of a basketball court on the property of Big Coppin First Baptist
Church. The court will be open to all neighborhood youth, regardless of religious
affiliation.
$12,000 This is the cost of acquiring two Lafayette LX3000 polygraph
machines for use in criminal investigations and background investigations.
$23,795
