Analysis
Body
Whereas, The City of Milwaukee appears to be eligible for grant funds from the United States Department of Justice - National Institute of Justice for a Project COMPASS; and
Whereas, Project COMPASS, which stands for Community Mapping, Planning and Analysis of Safety Statistics, would provide the City of Milwaukee and other agencies with statistical information and analytical tools to enhance local public safety and neighborhood stability programs; and
Whereas, It is appropriate for the City of Milwaukee to apply for such grant funds in the amount of $625,000 for the purpose of improving data-sharing and strategic planning among law enforcement and justice agencies; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Milwaukee Police Department is authorized to apply for a Project COMPASS Grant; and, be it
Further Resolved, That acceptance and expenditure of these funds by the Milwaukee Police Department is not authorized herein and any such acceptance and expenditure shall require express Common Council approval by adoption of a separate resolution.
