MEMORANDUM 09-133

 

DATE:            October 7, 2009

 

TO:                 Homer City Council

 

FROM:           Chief Mark Robl

 

SUBJECT:   Training Grant

 


HPDBADGE  Earlier this year, the Police Department applied for a grant from the Department of Justice for equipment to enhance our Force on Force Training Program.  The grant has been awarded to us and we request that the council accept and appropriate it for our use.

 

  This grant will give us $11,778.00 in federal funds to purchase simunitions equipment and ammunition that will be utilized in our Force on Force Training Program.  Having our own equipment will allow us to schedule and conduct training at our convenience and more often than we have been able to in the past. 

 

  The grant requires us to provide matching funds in the amount of $5,000.00 for training two of our officers to the instructor level on the simunitions equipment.  We have already sent our two instructors to the required training using funds from our 2009 training budget.  Accepting this grant will not result in any additional expense to the City of Homer.
