Summary Recommendation
Authorize acceptance of a $11,500 grant agreement (DPS Contract # 2025-306) between the Arizona Department of Public Safety and the City of Yuma through the Yuma Police Department for equipment and software. (Police/Administration) (Thomas Garrity)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
The grant agreement emphasizes the integration of advanced equipment and software to enhance the City Council’s strategic outcome of Safe and Prosperous, particularly in addressing safety. This initiative will strengthen the Police Department’s interagency collaboration, intelligence sharing, and enforcement capacity, ultimately fostering a more effective response to human trafficking related criminal activity.
REPORT:
In a continued effort to combat human trafficking and related criminal activity within the State of Arizona, the Yuma Police Department (YPD) has secured Anti-Human Trafficking funding from the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS). This funding supports statewide initiatives focused on reducing human trafficking through enhanced law enforcement coordination, intelligence sharing, and targeted enforcement efforts.
The proposed agreement between the City of Yuma and DPS provides financial assistance to enhance YPD’s operational capacity to identify, investigate, and disrupt human trafficking activities occurring within the City of Yuma. Through this agreement, DPS has committed to provide funding in an amount not to exceed $11,500.00 for the purchase of approved equipment.
The funding will support the acquisition of equipment necessary to support anti-human trafficking enforcement and investigative activities in coordination with DPS. All expenditures will be reimbursed in accordance with the approved DPS Anti-Human Trafficking agreement and applicable state requirements.
Approval of this agreement will authorize the City, through YPD, to enter into the Anti-Human Trafficking Agreement with DPS, reinforcing the City of Yuma’s commitment to regional collaboration, victim-centered enforcement, and the protection of public safety and community well-being.
