10 - Safe Neighborhood Grant Application (2)Item No. 10
memorandum
TO: City Council
John Godwin, City Manager
FROM: Bob Hundley, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS GRANT APPLICATION
DATE: June 6, 2019
BACKGROUND: The Safe Neighborhood Grant program is available from the Department of
Justice administered through the Governor's office. This grant allows for training, equipment and
overtime funds for officers to concentrate on violent crime issues involving firearms and drugs.
STATUS OF ISSUE: In 2016, the department responded to 339 calls for service related to shots
fired, man with gun or aggravated assaults. In 2017, that number decreased to 314. Thankfully,
in 2018 those numbers were further down, 250. Even with this decrease, we want those statistics
lower. We believe this grant funding will provide our officers the tools and time they need to make
our neighborhoods safer. Our grant goal is to have a minimum of 50 cases filed in the coming year.
We routinely work with ATF on firearms cases and that agency has adopted many of our cases for
federal prosecution. We have to send a message to those who are involved in acts of violence that
they face certain investigation and prosecution.
BUDGET: The grant application does not require any in-kind or matching funds. The total grant
request is for $100,000.00.
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to approve a resolution authorizing the application for the Project
Safe Neighborhood grant and authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.
