<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />one year (12 months) following the conclusion of grant funding. The retained CHRP-funded <br />position(s) should be added to the grantee’s law enforcement budget with state and/or local <br />funds, over and above the number of locally-funded positions that would have existed in the <br />absence of the grant.” <br /> <br />A suggestion for this grant is to hire an additional officer and assign an officer to the Drug Task <br />Force for Ramsey County, or add an officer to the patrol schedule thereby increasing the number <br />of police officers on duty. Having an officer assigned to the task force would allow the city of <br />Mounds View to better focus on active narcotics investigation within the city. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />The JAG grant funding will be accepted, as there is no funding match for this grant. Staff seek <br />council direction on whether or not the council would like to proceed with a COPS grant for a new <br />officer. The COPS office is accepting applications for this funding at this time. The grant is <br />competitive, so there is no guarantee that all applications will be funded. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Mike Sommer, Chief of Police <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
