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 border-related criminal activity.
REPORT:
In a continued effort to address border-related criminal activity within the State of Arizona, the Yuma Police Department (YPD) has secured Local Border Support funding from the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS). This funding supports statewide initiatives aimed at strengthening law enforcement coordination and enhancing public safety in border communities.
The proposed agreement between the City of Yuma and DPS provides financial assistance to enhance YPD’s operational capacity to deter, apprehend, and investigate criminal activity occurring within the City of Yuma. Through this agreement, DPS has committed to provide funding in an amount of $971,723.75.
The funding will support the acquisition of approved equipment necessary to conduct enhanced enforcement and intelligence-sharing activities in coordination with DPS. All expenditures will be reimbursed in accordance with the approved Local Border Support application and applicable state requirements, with no local matching funds required.
Approval of this agreement will authorize the City, through YPD, to enter into the Local Border Support Agreement with DPS, reinforcing the City of Yuma’s commitment to regional collaboration, public safety, and the protection of community well-being.
