Ready, City Manager BY: Police Department SUMMARY It is recommended that the City Council accept a grant award to the City in the amount of $18,006 from the U.S. Department of Justice, Justice Assistance (JAG) Program and sign an Interlocal Agreement with the cities of Beaumont, Corona, Desert Hot Springs, Hemet, Indio, Jurupa Valley, Lake Elsinore, Moreno Valley, Perris, the County of Riverside and the City of Riverside, authorizing the City of Riverside to administer the grant on behalf of participating agencies. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Approve the acceptance of a grant award from the United States Department of Justice in the amount of $18,006 for the 2020 Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program. 2. Approve an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Riverside, Riverside County Sheriffs Department, and various cities within Riverside County, for the City of Riverside Police Department to administer the grant on behalf of participating agencies. 3. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. STAFF ANALYSIS: The United States Department of Justice awards annual Justice Assistance (JAG) Programs grants to law enforcement agencies. In the past, the U.S. Department of Justice awarded grants to individual law enforcement agencies. In 2012, the City Council Staff Report September 10, 2020 Page 2 Accept JAG Grant Funding Department of Justice modified the grant process by awarding the entire amount allocated for County of Riverside law enforcement agencies in one disbursement. Riverside County law enforcement agencies agreed that one agency would administer the total distributed amount, and that each of the participating agencies would release ten percent (10%) of their individual awards to the administering agency for program management. The City of Riverside Police Department has been selected as the administering agency. The amount awarded to the City of Palm Springs for 2020 is $18,006. Under the agreement, the City of Palm Springs would release $1,801 to the City of Riverside, leaving an award balance of $16,205. JAG funds may be used for law enforcement programs, supplies, contractual support and technical assistance. The Police Department plans to use these grant funds for contractual support to build a separate procedures manual that will correspond with our existing policy management platform. An independent procedures manual will allow for a clear separation of Department policy and procedure and ensure the information is organized and readily accessible. Procedures will be posted conspicuously on the Department's website, as required by California SB 978. FISCAL IMPACT: This will have no impact on the General Fund and there are no matching funds required. Bryan Reyes Chief of Police Attachments: 1) Interlocal Agreement David H.
