STAFF REPORT
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Steve Goclon, Chief Of Police
DATE: September 9, 2003
RE: Police Take Home Vehicle Proposal
ISSUE
Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners authorize the Ocoee Police
Department to expand the existing marked take home vehicle program.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Recent meetings with the Commission indicate a willingness to expand the marked take home
vehicle program to as far as five miles outside of the city limit boundaries. Three possible
options are shown on the attached map indicating a five-mile circular radius from the police
headquarters building, a three-mile extension from the city limit boundaries, and a five-mile
extension from city limit boundaries.
An officer living five miles outside of the city limit boundaries will put an average of 1920
additional miles on a vehicle per year based on a four/ten hour day work week. Approximately
five or six officers would be affected by the five-mile extension from city limit boundaries
option. Only one officer would be affected by the five-mile circular radius option from the police
headquarters building.
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners
approve the request to expand the current limits of the marked vehicle take home program to a
five mile extension from the city limit boundaries, or a three mile extension from the city limit
boundaries, or to a five mile circular radius from the police headquarters building. Portions of
this staff report that are approved will be added to the police department's take home vehicle
policy.
