Serv. <br />Risk Mgt.— <br />Dear Commissioner Tippin: other ------ <br />The Indian River County Sheriff's Office is pleased to advise you of our intent - <br />to participate in the U.S. Department of Justice's COPS AHEAD Grant Program. This <br />program is one of several approaches developed by the Department of Justice under <br />the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 to speed the deployment --- <br />of new officers devoted to community policing. COPS AHEAD permits interested <br />agencies to begin recruiting and hiring new officers now in anticipation of later <br />COPS grant funding, without compromising the quality and thoroughness of officer <br />training and the careful design of community policing programs. <br />Funding will begin once the new officers have been sworn and a satisfactory grant <br />application has been submitted and approved. The grant will be made for up to <br />75% of the total salary and benefits of each officer over three (3) years, up to <br />a maximum of w75,000 per officer, with the remainder to be paid by local funds. <br />We are requestinC one (1) additional officer under the COPS AHEAD program. The <br />following costs show the total Federal amount and the matching funds required <br />by the County: <br />NOVEMBER 22, 1994 <br />35 <br />
