The Arkansas State Police established the Drug Task Force General Improvement Grant Committee to award funds which best facilitate a drug task force or drug task forces operations and related programs. The 4th Judicial Drug Task Force (JDTF) submitted a grant application in which grant funding was requested in the amount of $69,255. Discussion The Grant Committee awarded the 4th JDTF grant funding in the amount of $54,455 for the purchase of a vehicle, updated surveillance equipment and purchase evidence/drug test kits. These items are essential to our drug enforcement operations and grant funding allows these purchases without reducing our limited funding and resources. A 4x4 SUV is vital to the operation of the task force and is used during search warrants, surveillance, and undercover investigations. This vehicle must be able to withstand the rugged terrain of the rural area of Washington and Madison Counties. The 4th JDTF will begin drug interdiction on the highways to combat the influx of drugs to our area. The 4'h JDTF will purchase various types of probes, fiber optic scopes, density meters, etc. to support this effort. This equipment is necessary to find hidden compartments where drugs are stored for transportation. The evidence collection supplies and personal protective equipment which include: wide-mouth bottles, screw cap liners, pipettes, StanSlov gloves, and presumptive drug test kits are essential for the safety of our officers while collecting, sampling, and preserving evidence at methamphetamine lab sites and other drug investigations. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of this grant award and authorization to accept grant funding through the Drug Task Force General Improvements Grant in the amount of $54,455. Budget Impact None. This is a reimbursement grant, therefore, City funds will be expended prior to the receipt of grant funds. i RESOLUTION NO.
