Grant Purpose and Description: Based on the Program Purpose Areas selected in Section II, D, briefly describe how the LLEBG subgrant funding will impact upon the reduction and eradication of illegal drugs in Florida. (Limit: ODe page per Program Purpose Area). Program Purpose Area 2 The Taser Non-Lethal Weapon will be utilized in, a multitude of operational-fonuats. One of its major uses will be its utilization as part of our drug undercover officer's tools in combating dealers of drugs in our City. The non-lethal weapon would not only protect our officers against violent resistance from drug dealers (and" uncontrolled addicts as well), but also serve to incapacitate the suspect dealer without injury and hopefully serve as a deterrent not to engage in the illegal activity as well. Durin~ the last several months we have actively surveilled a number of residences in our City and effectively drawn and served search warrants to close the obvious sale and distribution of drugs; not only to adults, but to juveniles as well. To assist us in conducting this operation in safety, ie:, that is without the use of lethal firearms, the taser weapon would be a significant safety factor for all concerned_ The location of these targets make them a special risk for incidents of.crime and exposure of children to the trafficking of drugs. We sincerely believe that any measures that assist us in achieving the goal of reducing the influx of drugs in our community is worthwhile. Hopefully, the use of new technology by Law Enforcement in our fight against drug use will also serve to have a psychological impaot on the criminal element in terms of knowing how much more effective our search and arrest techniques have progressed. Our local government recognizes the fact that the location of drug dealing persons in our residential areas pose a special risk to our residents and any assistance in reducing this riSk should be adopted.

Law Enforcement agencies throughout the country are adopting weapons designed as non-lethal in nature to assist in subduing violent persons without inflicting grievous harm to the individuals and additionally providing for the safety of their officers as well. Of special note is the recognition that drug dealers and drug addicts can be violent in nature. The utilization of taser weapons in apprehending these offenders, whether in undercover opperations or the serving of search warrants, without injury to anyone is always a worthwhile goal. In addition the psychological impact on these violators, knowing the progression of our technology may also serve as a deterrent when exposed to its actual implementation. c Our present drug enforcement activity in our local residential areas pose a special risk to our citizens and most specifically our children. Any assistance in these efforts eliminate these problems should be initiated. to The local match will oODle from the City's General Revenue Fund.
