March 11, 2019
Ordinance No. 3057-2019 accepting and appropriating a grant from the
State of Alaska Department of Public Safety to purchase portable radios
and DARE supplies.
The State of Alaska Department of Public Safety (DPS) was allotted funds for "Crime Prevention
and Response and Equipment" during the last legislative session . DPS solicited from law
enforcement agencies Statewide for local requests for the use of those funds.
The Police Department submitted several requests to utilize those funds and two of those
requests were approved:
1. P-25 compliant portable radios and accessories -$100,000
2. Supplies to support the DARE program in local schools -$8000
The portable radios currently in use are nearing the end of their maintenance life , and this grant,
in addition to some previous grant funds, will complete the replacement of all those portable radios
in the police department.
The supplies used in the teaching of the DARE program (i.e . DARE books , water bottles , t-shirts ,
etc.) have long been funded with the support of local donations and industry partners. This
infusion of supplies , along with continued local support will be invaluable to continu ing this
program in the local elementary schools .
I am respectfully requesting cons ideration of the ordinance accepting and appropriating those
grant funds for the purposes they were intended .
