end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
The proposal 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 digital infrastructure, improve communication, and enhance collaboration among employees, ultimately fostering a more effective response to anti-human trafficking efforts within the Yuma Police Department's operations.
REPORT:
In a significant step towards combating human trafficking within the State of Arizona, the Yuma Police Department (YPD) has successfully secured grant funding from the Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZDPS) through its Anti-Human Trafficking Fund. This funding is a crucial part of the state’s ongoing efforts to address and mitigate the issue of human trafficking.
The grant agreement between the City, on behalf of YPD, and AZDPS includes financial provisions aimed at enhancing the department's operational capabilities to effectively tackle human trafficking cases. Specifically, AZDPS has committed to reimburse YPD for the purchase of one unmarked vehicle, providing up to $50,000.00.
In addition to the vehicle funding, YPD will receive further financial support totaling up to $85,900.00 for the acquisition of necessary equipment and software. This funding will facilitate the implementation of advanced technologies and tools that are critical in gathering and analyzing data related to human trafficking.
By approving this motion, YPD will be authorized to enter into a grant agreement with AZDPS, further strengthening the City of Yuma’s commitment to transparency and community safety.
