To:
Federal Way City Councilmembers lfl'U.Z,tßJJ 11..'.lC in
From:
Dena Laurent, Management Assistant
Subject:
COPS MORE Grant
At its March 2 meeting, the Public Safety/Human Services Committee voted unanimously to
support the City's application for funding under the federal COPS MORE progranl. Grant
applications are due March 17, necessitating full Council consideration at your March 7 meeting.
Overview
COPS MORE will make grants to local law enforcement agencies to purchase equipment and
technology, to procure support resources (including civilian personnel), and to pay overtime.
Agencies which have received other COPS grants are eligible to apply under COPS MORE,
however, any prior award may be considered in the assessment for additional resources under
COPS MORE. Any grant funding must be in addition to, and not in lieu of, an agency's funded
budget plans as of October 1, 1994. COPS MORE grants are for one year. Maintenance and
upkeep will be the responsibility of the grantee. Support resources and overtime grants may be
renewed for up to two additional years. The federal share of these grants may not exceed 75%
of the cost of technology, equipment, support resources or overtime. .
Application
In the 1995, the City Council reduced by one the number of police officers the City contracts
for and increased the number of Community Service Officers (CSOs) by three. Two additional
vehicles are needed to optimize their community policing efforts. The Committee also supported
application for funding of police overtime. The overtime would be used to support additional
patrol at SeaTac Mallon weekends and during the summer in the parks. Finally, the Committee
supported the potential purchase of office equipment to support a police substation.
