Subject: Approval to Expend Forfeiture Monies to Law Enforcement Related equipment needed to outfit one
additional City of Ocoee Police Department member of the Central Florida Metro S.W.A.T.
Background Summary:
The role of law enforcement in all cases, including riotous activity, anti-terrorist activities, insurrection,
barricaded subjects, execution of narcotics warrants, arrest of dangerous felons and the rescue of hostages or
endangered persons, is for the protection of lives and property. In the pursuit of this goal, the City of Apopka,
the City of Winter Park, the City of Maitland, the City of Ocoee, and the City of Winter Garden Police
Departments have integrated their officers to provide combined S.W.A.T. services in all five jurisdictions as the
Central Florida Metro Swat Team.
The integrated team of selected and trained police officers from each participating political subdivisions will
respond to any incident where special weapons and tactics are needed within the member jurisdictions. The City
of Ocoee needs to outfit one additional selected officer with the required special equipment and weapons and
train the respective officer.

and/or grant monies from the Police Federal Forfeiture fund for the purchase of various law enforcement

S.W.A.T. Team?

to expend and/or grant monies from the Police Forfeiture fund for equipment needed to outfit an additional City
of Ocoee Police Department member of the Central Florida Metro S.W.A.T.
