BACKGROUND:
The Margate Police Department is requesting the authorization to utilize State Law Enforcement Forfeiture Funds to acquire equipment/supplies for use by law enforcement personnel and to support law enforcement activities; and prevention and awareness programs.

This is an appropriate expenditure under the permissible usages of equitable shared funds that are necessary to perform official law enforcement duties and to support law enforcement activities and programs.
