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$19,769 from the U.S. Department of Justice, Justice Assistance (JAG) Program and sign an Interlocal Agreement with the cities of Banning, Cathedral City, Coachella, Corona, Desert Hot Springs, Hemet, Indio, Jurupa Valley, Moreno Valley, Perris, the County of Riverside and the City of Riverside, authorizing the Riverside County Sheriffs Department, on behalf of the County 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$19,769 for the 2019 Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program. 2. Approve an Interlocal Agreement with the Riverside County Sheriffs Department, and various cities within Riverside County, for the Riverside County Sheriffs 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 grants entitled Justice Assistance (JAG) Programs to law enforcement agencies. In the past, the U.S. Department of Justice awarded grants to individual law enforcement agencies. However, beginning in 2012, the Department of Justice modified the grant process by City Council Staff Report September 18, 2019 Page 2 Accept JAG Grant Funding awarding the entire amount allocated for the thirteen (13) County of Riverside law enforcement agencies in one disbursement. The thirteen 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 Riverside County Sheriff's Department has been selected as the administering agency. The amount awarded to the City of Palm Springs for 2019 is $19,769. Under the agreement, the City of Palm Springs would release $1,977 to the City of Riverside, leaving an award balance of$17,792. JAG funds may be used for equipment or a variety of public safety programs. The Police Department plans to use these grant funds to purchase ballistic helmets. Ballistic helmets are essential and potentially life-saving pieces of equipment which can mitigate the likelihood of injury or death to an officer in the event of an attack or assault. The helmets will be issued to newly hired officers and used to replace existing helmets that have exceeded their recommended life span. FISCAL IMPACT: This will have no impact on the General Fund and there are no matching funds required. Bryan Reyes, Chief of Police David H.
