McCosker5'( Department Director: Chie :r•w ; Contact Number: X 3055 City Manager: Rob Fran/J/;- Subject: Acceptance of COPS Hiring Program (CHP) Grant Background Summary: On June 7, 2016 the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners authorized the City of Ocoee to apply for three new officers' positions through the Fiscal Year 2016 COPS Hiring Program (CHP). This was a competitive solicitation open to all state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies with primary law enforcement authority. CHP provides funding to hire and re-hire entry level career law enforcement officers in order to preserve jobs, increase community policing capacities and support crime prevention efforts. On November 20, 2017, Chief Charles Brown was notified by the COPS Office has approved our agency for 3 officer positions under the 2017 COPS Hiring Program(CHP). The estimated amount of federal funds to be awarded to the City of Ocoee jurisdiction over the three-year award period for three new officers is $375,000.00. The City of Ocoee cash match will be $315,883.00. Our agency may use CHP award funding to hire new officers as we currently do not have to rehire officers who have been laid off or were scheduled to be laid off on a specific future date, as a result of local budget reductions, on or after the official award start date. Issue: Should the Honorable Mayor and the Board of City Commissioners authorize the Ocoee Police Department to accept the COPS Hiring Recovery Grant to fund three police officer positions? Recommendations Staff respectfully recommends that the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners authorize the Ocoee Police Department to accept the COPS Hiring Recovery Grant to fund three police officer positions.
