WHEELER • INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />MEMBER FLORIDA SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION <br />MEMBER OF NATIONAL SHERIFFS' ASSOCIATION <br />405541 St AVENUE VERO BEACH, FLORIDA 32960-1808 PHONE (561) 569-6700 <br />June 3, 1998 <br />The Honorable John Tippin, Chairman <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />Indian River County <br />1840 25th Street <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960-3394 <br />RE: COPS MORE Grant <br />Dear Mr. Tippin: <br />We are pleased to announce a grant opportunity that will allow the Sheriffs Office to civilianize four (4) <br />existing sworn positions resulting in the net gain of four positions on the road as patrol deputies. The <br />grant initiative is the 1998 COPS MORE grant funded through the U. S. Department of Justice, <br />Community Policing Office. <br />By replacing four sworn officers with civilians, the Sheriffs Office will be reducing the salary cost of the <br />current positions located in court house security and civil process, as well as ongoing equipment and <br />vehicle costs, which will not be required by civilian public service technicians. An additional benefit of <br />this redeployment is the realization of four additional sworn officers on the road to answer the ever <br />increasing calls for service. <br />June 9, 1998 <br />35 <br />BOOK 106 PAGE 43 <br />
