SUMMARY:
The Law Enforcement Trust Fund was established by City of Pensacola to allow the Police Department the use of money and goods confiscated as a result of criminal activity. Florida State Statute 932.7055 as amended on July 1, 2016 details the circumstances confiscated goods may be used. The Federal Controlled Substance Act, Section 881 (e) (3) of Title 21, United States Code, in accordance with the United States Department of Justice Guide to Equitable Sharing designates the uses of Federal Law Enforcement Trust Funds.
The Pensacola Police Department is requesting $17,300.00 from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund for additional training needs for SWAT members and supervisors. Funds for trainings and associated cost being requested under Florida State Statute 932.7055 are necessary due to recent turnover within the SWAT Team. The funds will provide Camp Blanding, Baer Soutions Tactical Firearms, NTOA SWAT team leader development, Less-lethal Instructor and training materials. The trainings sought are focused on providing fledgling members with basic SWAT skills and team integration. Additional requested trainings will educate a young or newer command group with operational leadership skills and tactics. The funding will include registration, per diem and travel costs.
