Resolution relating to acceptance and funding of a JAG Milwaukee MPD Youth Interview Area grant.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Milwaukee Police Department to accept and fund a JAG Milwaukee MPD Youth Interview Area grant from the Wisconsin Department of Justice in the amount of $47,197.24 with a city share of $0 and a grantor share of $47,197.24. The purpose of the grant is to fund the conversion of two existing interview rooms in the Police Administration Building (PAB) into “non-secure” spaces as defined by the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act. To complete this conversion, MPD will install two Axon interview room camera systems and a remote panic alarm system. This will support Milwaukee Police Department compliance with federal and state laws regarding the secure detention of juveniles during investigations of major crimes.
