Approval of a blanket Purchase Order to cover the Fort Pierce Off-Duty Detail expenditures in the amount of $317,304.00 for FY2025.

The Fort Pierce Police Department's off-duty details located at Jetty Park, Downtown, and North 25^th Street enhance safety and security, boost public perception, and promote community engagement in key areas of the redevelopment area. These details enable officers to build rapport with local residents and visitors and quickly respond to emergencies or suspicious behavior. By creating a welcoming atmosphere, the FPRA's commitment to safety can stimulate economic growth and contribute to a more vibrant community.
