Subject: Approval to Donate State Forfeiture Monies to Law Enforcement Organizations
Background Summary:
The Ocoee Police Department historically donated State Forfeiture Funds to support programs or organizations
that partner with the Police Department in its crime prevention/public safety mission and wishes to continue to
do so. As the services these organizations provide to the Ocoee Police Department and the community cannot be
duplicated within the Department, the Police Department recommends granting monies from its forfeiture fund.
The Department recommends expending monies from its State Police Forfeiture Fund to law enforcement
related uses as follows: $2000 to Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD), $1000 to Children's Safety Village
which assists with child safety programs, $2,000 to Aspire Behavioral Healthcare (aka Central Florida Crisis
Intervention Team), the facility that trains our police officers how to deal with people in mental health crisis; and
$2,000 to Crimeline, which provides crime solving tips to the Police Department, as well as publicity and
rewards to the public.
Issue:
Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners authorize the Police Department to grant monies
from the State Police Forfeiture Fund to various law enforcement related organizations?
Recommendations
It is recommended that the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners authorize the Police Department
to grant monies from the State Police Forfeiture Fund to various law enforcement related organizations.
Attachments:
None
Financial Impact:
A total of $7000 from the State Police Forfeiture Fund.
