SUMMARY:

                                          

The Pensacola Police Department is a resource recipient under the State of Florida High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Program-95.001. Under this agreement, the Pensacola Police Department will be incurring reimbursable expenses under the program to include overtime, fringe benefits, and vehicle expenses.

 

Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office (SRCSO) is the fiscal agent on behalf of the Gulf Coast High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) and, as such, will be reimbursing the City for expenditures incurred under this agreement.

 

The purpose of this program is to reduce drug trafficking and drug production by facilitating cooperation among Federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies sharing information, and implementing coordinated enforcement activities; enhancing law enforcement intelligence sharing; providing reliable law enforcement intelligence to law enforcement agencies needed to design effective enforcement strategies and operations; and supporting coordinated law enforcement strategies which maximize the use of available resources to reduce the supply of illegal drugs in designated areas and in the United States as a whole.
