The grantee will use the award for law enforcement initiatives. Specifically, funding will be utilized for sworn overtime that will be used specifically for crime reduction initiatives. These initiatives will be based on specific crime data and active intelligence. The initiatives will target specific crimes and crime patterns, and also address historically active crime periods (i.e., summer season and holiday seasons).The goals of the project are to reduce crime city-wide through specific initiatives targeting specific crimes and crime patterns.
