Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (ACJC) Drug, Gang and Violent Crime Control Grant Agreement DC-17-003 in the amount of $124,240 for overtime salaries and fringe benefits (ERE), between the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (ACJC) and the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office, effective July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.
Background:
The Sheriff's Office has a contract (re-occurring) for funding by the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission. This grant is a funding source the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office has applied for, and has been approved to utilize as a source of funding for several of the Special Operation Division units to use to assist in combating illegal drug using, selling and smuggling; along with combating illegal immigrant smuggling within the communities of Cochise County. The funding source allows CCSO to pay overtime, when necessary, to those who work in these units.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
If approved, the Sheriff’s Office will continue to deploy deputies trained in detecting capturing drug smugglers and those who use and sale illicit drugs in our communities.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If not approved, it will severely impact the Sheriff’s Office ability to deploy assets into areas where illegal drugs and/or human smuggling and drugs sales are occurring. Our current fiscal budget cannot provide compensation for the extra hours these types of units work to combat the above mentioned crimes that occur in our communities.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
