City Council Staff Report June 2, 2010 Bureau of Justice Assistance Page 2 of 2 STAFF ANALYSIS: The Palm Springs Police Department recognizes the importance of maintaining a positive relationship with its citizens, business owners, and visitors of Palm Springs. The Citizen's Police Academy has proven to be an invaluable tool in maintaining this relationship, offering a forum during which questions can be answered and participants have the opportunity to interact with Department personnel on a personal level. The 13- week program offers participants information about a broad range of topics related to the operation and functions of the Department. Historically, this program had been offered to the citizens of and visitors to Palm Springs approximately three times a year. For budgetary reasons, the Palm Springs Police Department was forced to suspend several Citizen's Police Academy classes. The grant funding would be used to pay personnel costs for those providing instruction during the course as well as for advertising, promotion, and materials. It is anticipated that the grant funding will allow the Department to offer a minimum of one Citizen's Police Academy per calendar year during the grant period. Under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program. FY 2010 Local Solicitation, the Palm Springs Police Department has been allocated $35,436 in federal grant funding. The Police Department is seeking approval to apply for Bureau of Justice Assistance funding for this grant and to accept the awarded monies. This grant period duration is between 07/1/10 and 6/30/13. FISCAL IMPACT: None. This is a reimbursable cost grant program. No matching funds are required to obtain this grant funding. V. is. C#&f ,[ 6"hVF&eZ-- David mi guez, Police Chief David H.
