Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve Operation Stone Garden program award, Agreement Number 13-AZDOHS-OPSG-130412-02 for equipment, effective November 01, 2013 through October 31, 2014 in the amount of $111,675.
Background:
This funding source allows for the purchasing of equipment (25 spot light mounted thermal cameras and 4 ARAS 360 HD computer hardware) utilized to assist in the completion of missions involving illegal human and drug smuggling; and the crimes/incidents created by the aforementioned activities. Further, the funding allows the Sheriff's Office to purchase this equipment the Sheriff's Office would otherwise not be able to gain/gather through other funding sources.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
If approved, the Sheriff's Office will start/continue to participate with the US Border Patrol in Operation Stone Garden. Also, the Sheriff's Office will purchase the already approved (through the US Border Patrol and DOHS) equipment that will be utilized in the operations.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If not approved, the Sheriff's Office will not be a participant in this program. Further, numerous other operations/mutil-agency details to assist in combating illegal immigrant and drug smuggling are funded through Operation Stone Garden and without approval, the Sheriff's Office will no longer be able to participate in these details/operations.
Also, the Sheriff's Office will lose out on the purchasing of additional equipment this office would otherwise not be able to obtain if it were not for this grant/funding source.
