RECOMMENDATION
The Police Department recommends approval of this grant.
BACKGROUND
The Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Program provides funds to units of local
government for the purpose of reducing crime and improving public safety. The program
is designed to help local communities address problems specific to their area. These
funds will be used to purchase a complete system to allow the laptop computers in the
police vehicles to transmit police reports to the new AS400 computer system by radio
frequency and to allow officers to query local, state and national crime information from
their police cars while deployed throughout the City. There will be no expenditures for
additional personnel. The City of Pueblo has participated in the LLEBG programs since
its inception in 1996.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
LLEBG requires local jurisdictions to provide matching funds from other sources. The
City of Pueblo has been awarded $242,875 for 2001 and is required to provide matching
funds of $26,986. At this time, it is anticipated that the local match will come from the
General Fund Reserves.
