BACKGROUND:
The Fayetteville Police Department has participated in STEP every year since its
inception in 1998. For eighteen (18) years, we have partnered through grant funding with the
Arkansas Highway Safety Office in an effort to reduce the total number of motor vehicle
crashes, injuries and fatalities. Our primary strategy for reaching our mutual goals is through
dedicated and diligent enforcement of occupant protection and DWI/DUI laws. This is
accomplished by dedicating patrol officer(s) to monitor STEP activity for a given period of time in
a known problem area. In addition to increased law enforcement, this grant funding allows us to
participate in directed DWI patrols, Click It or Ticket protection mobilizations, purchase
additional equipment, provide child safety seat checkpoints, and a loaner child safety seat for
those in need.
DISCUSSION:
The FY2016 STEP Grant Award is based on local in-kind match of expenses and an
award of $97,900 in federal and $15,000 in state grant funding. Local matching funds are only
required on the federal funding portion and the state funding is considered local match resulting
in a total of $82,900 for Fayetteville's local in-kind match. In-kind expenses are defined as on -
duty regular patrol shift hours dedicated to STEP activity; furthermore, this grant will reimburse
the City for overtime hours dedicated to STEP activity. The grant period for this award runs
from October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016. STEP is a very important program and funding
source for the Fayetteville Police Department. Through dedicated STEP activity during our shift
hours, our Department can meet the in-kind matching funds required of this grant award.
Furthermore, the loss of this grant funding would have an adverse effect on community safety.
