Summary of Request:
The Rural Violent Crime Reduction Initiative (RVCRI) awards grants on a competitive basis to small law enforcement agencies and prosecutors' offices in rural locations to address the underlying crimes and criminogenic conditions contributing to identified violent crime problems occurring in their jurisdictions. The anticipated maximum dollar amount of awards is $150,000. The period of performance starts on October 1, 2021, and the performance duration is 36 months.
If awarded, the Sheriff's Office will use the grant funds to encourage employee participation in the Resident Deputy Program by offsetting issues relating to living in remote rural areas with higher salaries. The objective is to reduce violent crimes in Covelo and Manchester-Point Arena Rancheria areas by providing them with full-time public safety services. The presence of a Deputy in those communities will allow the Sheriff's Office to be proactive in addressing their violent crime problems rather than reactive as the current staffing level allows.
On June 30, 2021, the Sheriff's Office sent a letter requesting approval to apply to the CEO as per County Policy 25, Section One, Number 4 to seek approval with follow up to the Board of Supervisors at their next available meeting.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
