On December 20,1995, I was notified by the US Department of Justice that our application for three additionel police officers had been approved. This menu we now have federal funding for five police officers. As I recall, the Municipal Operations Committee requested that we apply for the three new officers and then come back to them if they were approved. The first two officers are being funded from April 1995 to April 1998. The three new positions are being funded from January 1996 to January 1999. As of this date we have not hired any of the officers. Two should be hired by the end of this month If we were to hire the three new poeiRons, they would probably be filled in April, 1996. These federally funded officers must be used in specific community policing programs. I would anticipate that we will use at least one as a liaison with the dues high schools in the City. Two may be necessary for tide program. We could also use these offices to expand ore bike patrol program. One officer could be used as a victim advocate. This officer would weak with the victims to help them find housing, deal with testifying w court, keeping them updated on the progress of the investigation, etc. Below is what I anticipate the casts would be over this fiscal year and the next four fiscal years. - A!bcal Yru 95/96$10,000 2Otbcers 3.0RNm $7,500 $17,500 96 97 $32,500 $37,500 $70,000 97 98 'al fund' 550,000 $52,500 $102,500 98/99 no fund' $80,000(partial funding) $90,000 $170,000 99 W n o fuedin $80,000 1 no fun $120,000 $200,000
