Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2009, $15,370)
The stated purpose of the Presidential Inauguration Security Assistance Reimbursement Grant Program is to reimburse state and local agencies for extraordinary and official costs associated with the 2009 Presidential Inauguration held in the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Region. At the discretion of the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), up to $20 million will be made available to reimburse state and local agencies (and those entities serving multiple states or that are part of a state/regional compact arrangement) for security-related costs including but not limited to: personnel overtime, equipment, and associated extraordinary expenses incurred as a result of the 2009 Presidential Inauguration during the period of 12:00am (ET) January 19, 2009, through 7:00am (ET) January 21, 2009.
It is the goal of BJA to reimburse state and local agencies (and those entities serving multiple states or that are part of a state/regional compact arrangement), on a pro-rata basis, for such costs incurred during the identified Inauguration period. The determination as to the level and extent of such reimbursements may in part be adjusted in consideration of the overall costs to the agencies and jurisdictions involved, and to the extent to which expenses are not covered by some other federal source of funding (e.g., Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), direct appropriation, etc.). This program is authorized by the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111-8).
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) will receive $15,370 from the FY 2009 Presidential Inauguration Security Assistance Reimbursement Grant Program to offset extraordinary security-related costs incurred during the Inauguration Period of January 19 - 21, 2009. The funds will be used to reimburse Miami Police Department for winter weather gear purchased for police officers providing public safety functions during the FY 2009 Presidential Inauguration. During the Inauguration, the Miami Police Department deployed officers to the Presidential Inauguration Task Force to ensure the safety of the President-Elect and Vice President-Elect, as well as for the citizens of and visitors to the Inauguration. The FDLE and the Miami Police Department served a critical role providing security during the special events associated with the 2009 Presidential Inauguration.
