May 24, 2011
SUBJECT: County Manager Review and Approval of a 2011 COPS Hiring Grant sponsored
by the United States Department of Justice in the amount of $798,600
The Collier County Sheriff's Office is applying for a Community Oriented Policing Services
(COPS) Hiring Grant in the amount of $798,600, The COPS Hiring Program (CHP) will provide
100% funding for approved entry-level salaries and benefits for three years for four newly-hired,
full-time sworn officer positions (including filling existing unfunded vacancies) or for rehired
officers who have been laid off, or are scheduled to be laid off on a specific future date, as a
result of budget cuts.
At the conclusion of federal funding, the grantee must retain these positions for a minimum of
one fiscal year. If awarded, the CCSO will have to retain the four positions at an estimated cost
of $270,000 beginning in FY 15. There is no local match requirement and the CCSO will not be
pUrchasing any equipment or supplies with this grant, the award will only fund entry-level
salaries and benefits for three years. Absorbing CHP funded officers through attrition does not
meet the retention requirement. The COPS statutory non-supplanting requirement mandates that
CHP funds must be used to increase the grantee's law enforcement budget for sworn officer
positions. The grant funds may not be used to replace state or local funds that would, in the
absence of federal aid be made available for the purpose of the grant. Instead, grant funds must
be used to increase the total amount of funds that would otherwise be made available for the
grant purposes,
This non-supplanting requirement means that CCSO must hire the additional position on or after
the official grant award start date, above its current budgeted level of sworn officer positions.
This also means the CCSO must maintain its locally funded sworn force baseline and any
planned increases of officer positions during the grant award period through the retention period.
The application is due on May 25, 2011, and since the CCSO was informed of the grant
opportunity on May 2, 2011, they are requesting your approval to be followed by after-the-fact
approval by the Board of County Commissioners. Your approval authorizes the CCSO to submit
the grant application online,
Once you have reviewed the proposal, please sign in the box above and call me for pickup at
252-4768.
Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions regarding this request.

SECTION SA: COPS HIRING PROGRAM OFFICER'REQUEST'
ForFY 2011, COPS Hiring Program (CHP) applicants are eligible to apply for the number of officers equal to 5% of
their actual sworn force strength up to a maximum of 50 officers with a minimum of one (1) officer per agency. Based
on the information provided in this application, your agency is eligible to apply for up to 29 officer position(s).
How many entry-level, full-time officer positions is your agency requesting in this applicaton? 14
Next, your agency must allocate the number of positions requested under each of the three hiring categories described
below based on your agency's current needs at the time of this application, Please be mindful of the initial three-year .
grant period, and your agency's ability to fill and retain the officer positions awarded, while following your agency's
established hiring policies and procedures. CHP grant awards will be made for officer positions requested in each of
the three hiring categories, and grantees are required to use awarded funds for the specific categories awarded.
It is imperative that your agency understand that the COPS statutory nonsupplanting requirement mandates that grant
funds may only be used to supplement (increase) a grantee's law enforcement budget for sworn officer positions and
may not supplant (replace) state, local, or tribal funds that a grantee otherwise would have spent on officer positions if
it had not received a grant award, This means that if your agency plans to:
(a) Hire new officer positions (including filling existin\;! officer vacancies that are no longer funded in your
agency's budget): It must hire these additional positions on or after the official grant award start date, above its
current budgeted (funded) level of sworn officer positions, and otherwise comply with the nonsupplanting
requirements as described in detail in the Grant Owner's Manual.
(b) Rehire officers who have already been laid off (at the time of application) as a result of state, local. or tribal
budget cuts: It must rehire the officers on or after the official grant award start date, maintain documentation
showing the date(s) that the positions were laid off and rehired, and otherwise comply with the nonsupplanting
requirement as described in detail in the Grant Owner's Manual.
(c) Rehire officers who are (at the time of application) currentlv scheduled to be laid off on a future date as a result
of state. local. or tribal budget cuts: It must continue to fund the officers with its own funds from the grant award
start date until the date of the scheduled lay-off (for example, if the CHP award start date is September 1 and the
lay-offs are scheduled for November 1, then the CHP funds may not be used to fund the officers until November
1, the date ofthe scheduled lay-ofi); identifying the number and date(s) of the scheduled lay-off(s) in this
application (see below); maintain documentation showing the date(s) and reason(s) for the lay-off; and otherwise
comply with the nonsupplanting requirement as described in detail in the Grant Owner's Manual. [please note that
as long as your agency can document the date that the lay-off(s) would occur ifCHP funds were not available, it
may transfer the officers to the CHP funding on or immediately after the date of the lay-off without formally
completing the administrative steps associated with a lay-off for each individual officer,]
Documentation that may be used to prove that scheduled lay-offs are occurring for local economic reasons that are
umelated to the availability of CHP grant funds may include (but are not limited to) council or departmental meeting
minutes, memoranda, notices, or orders discussing the lay-offs; notices provided to the individual officers regarding
the date(s) of the lay-offs; and/or budget documents ordering departmental and/or jurisdiction-wide budget cuts. These
records must be maintained with your agency's CHP grant records during the grant period and for three years
following the official closeout of the CHP grant in the event ofan audit, monitoring, or other evaluation of your grant
compliance,
If your agency's request is funded, it will have the opportunity after the award announcement to request a grant
modification to move awarded funding into the category or categories that meet your agency's law enforcement needs
at that time (including updating the dates of future scheduled lay-offs). .

SECTION 68: LAW ENFORCEMENT & COMMUNITY POLICING
STRATEGY
Community Policing Strategy
COPS Office grants must be used to reorient the mission and activities of law enforcement agencies
through initiating community policing or enhancing their involvement in community policing. If awarded
funds, your responses to sections lI(a) and lI(b) that follow will constitute your agency's community
policing plan under this grant. Your organization. may be audited or monitored to ensure that it is initiating
or enhancing community policing in accordance with this plan. The COPS Office may also use this
information to understand the needs of the field, and potentially provide for training, technical assistance.
problem solving and community policing implementation tools. Please note that the COPS Office
recognizes that your COPS-funded officer(s) (or an equal number of veteran officers who are redeployed
after hiring the entry-level COPS-funded officers) will engage in a variety of community policing activities
and strategies, including participating in some or all aspects of your identified community policing plan,
Your community-policing plan may be influenced and impacted by others within and outside of your
organization; this is considered beneficial to your community policing efforts
At any time during your grant, you should be prepared to demonstrate (1) the community policing activities
engaged in prior to the grant award that are detailed in section I of this application and (2) how the grant
funds were specifically used to enhance (increase) or initiate community policing activities according to
your community policing plan contained in sections lI(a) and lI(b) of this application.
Finally. we also understand that your community policing needs may change during the life of your grant.
Minor changes to this plan may be made without prior approval of the COPS Office; however, if
your agency's community policing plan changes significantly, you must submit those changes in
writing to the COPS Office for approval. Changes are "significant" if they deviate from the specific crime
problem(s) identified and/or the type of community policing strategies identified and approved in the
original community policing plan submitted with this application. Minor changes to the scope or nature of a
proposed strategy that do not materially alter the strategy itself do not require pre-approval of the COPS
Office.

The following is the COPS Office definition of community policing that emphasizes the primary components
of :
community partnerships. organizational transfonnation, and problem solving. Please refer to the COPS
Office webs!te (www.cops.usdoj.gov) for further information regarding this definition.
Community policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies, which support the systematic
use of partn:erships and problem-solving techniques, to proactively address the immediate conditions that
give rise to public safety issues, such as crime, social disorder, and fear of crime.

The COPS Office has completed the development of a comprehensive community policing self-assessment
tool for use ~y law enforcement agencies. Based on this work, we have developed the following list of
primary sub~elements of community policing. Please refer to the COPS Office website (www.coDs.usdoLaov)
for further irjfonnation regarding these sub-elements.

lI(a) Proppsed Community Policing Plan: Problem Solving and Partnerships
!
cOPS grants :must be used to initiate or enhance community policing activities. In this section you will be asked to
identify the crIme and disorder problem(s) and the partners to be engaged through your requested COPS funding.
Identifying the specific problem(s) and partnerships that your agency plans to focus on is important to ensure that
you satisfy the requirements for COPS funding under this program and to ensure that ultimately the use of these
funds will initi~te or enhance your agency's capacity to implement community policing strategies.
i
,
7) Using the following list, select a problem(s) that will be addressed with these grant funds. Please choose the
option that best fits your problem. You may select up to five problems to address through this grant funding.
When identifying a problem(s), it is important to think about the nature of similar incidents that taken together
comprise the iproblem, and accordingly describe it in precise, specific terms (e.g. "burglary of retail
establishments", rather than just "burglary"). In doing this, it can be helpful to consider all aspects of the problem,
including the likely offenders, the suitable targets/victims, and how these come together in time and space.
Non-Violel;lt Crime Problems
LarcenylTh~ft (Non-Motor Vehicle)
Organize~ retail theft, shoplifting, car break-ins
,
7b. Briefly ~escribe the problem that you will address with these grant funds.
Larceny ~as been on the rise in Collier County for the past 4 years. This problem ranges from retail theft to
stealing i~ems from parked cars at the beaches and residential neighborhoods. Larceny accounts for the
largest percentage of reported crime (63%) in the unincorporated county. Between 2009 and 2010, larceny
increase~ by 3.1 %. The increase in larceny over the past few years may be related to a number of factors
includingi high unemployment and home foreclosures in Collier County, an increase in prescription drug
abuse, and easy access to beaches, shopping and residential areas from the 1-75 corridor connecting the
Miami ar~a to Naples and Tampa Bay. Collier County may be seen as an easy target by those in the
organizep retail theft arena. Although the county's population in 2010 is only 321,520, the community hosts
over 1 mUlion visitors annually. According to the Convention and Visitors Bureau, in 2010 over 1.3 million
visitors clime to Collier County. As a result of an increase in retail theft, the Sheriffs Office created the Collier
County qrganized Retail Theft Association in 2010. Members of the Sheriffs Office meet monthly with the
loss prevention teams from area retail establishment to share information and intelligence on the retail thefts
occurring in the community. In addition, members of CCORTA access a shared website that provides
information in the identification and arrests of organized theft rings. The addition of 4 COPS positions will
provide the agency with much needed staff flexibility to provide additional beach parking lot patrols,increase
contact ~ith visitors and residents, and assist with monitoring of shopping areas, and other targeted areas.

The bigg~st challenge facing Collier County is the large number of foreclosed and abandoned properties
scattered:throughout this geographically large community, Collier County has a total land area of 2,025
square mjles. With high unemployment rates, the number of abandoned and foreclosed properties climbed
steadily in 2008 and 2009. At the peak in 2009, there were 8,203 foreclosed homes in Collier County,
Foreclos~res have declined by 47% to 4,395 in 2010. However, the ripple effect continues as many
abandoned homes are subject to vandalism or those in the rural area of the county, converted to grow
houses. iJ"his blight and criminal activity has a negative impact on the neighboring families and properties.
Blight may range from overgrown weeds to graffiti and damage to vacant properties. In addition, some
abandoned homes have had appliances stolen along with copper wire, air conditioning units and other items
of value. In conjunction with its many community partners, the Collier County Sheriffs Office developed a
Community Care Initiative, also known as the Distressed Properties Program, in partnership with county code
enforcement, neighborhood civic and homeowner associations, the chamber of commerce and others to
address this major problem. Currently, existing COPS and other CCSO staff regularly attend neighborhood
and hom~owners' meetings to discuss this growing issue. CCSO also trains its volunteer Community
Observers on patrolling, safety, and how to integrate their efforts with those of other Sheriff's deputies to
monitor tpese vacant residential and commercial properties, and increase community safety. The addition of
4 COPS positions will allow the agency to enhance these on-going efforts.

II(b) Proposed Community Policing Plan: Organizational
Transformation
COPS grants must be used to initiate or enhance community policing activities. In this section you will be asked
to identify theiorganizational change(s) that your agency plans to focus on through your requested COPS
funding. Identifying the specific organizational change(s) that your agency plans to focus on is important to
ensure that yC)u satisfy the requirements for COPS funding under this program, and to ensure that ultimately the
use of these f!Jnds will initiate or enhance your agency's capacity to implement community policing strategies.
13) If awarde~ funds, will your agency initiate or enhance any of the following internal changes to personnel
management? (Select no more than 2 internal changes to personnel management that will be addressed with
these grant funds.)
o FlexibilitY in officer shift assignments to facilitate addressing specific problems
Flexibility of officer shift assignment currently exists within the Collier County Sheriffs Office; however, as
a result of the severe economic stress in Collier County. there has been a hiring freeze in effect for the
past thrt!le years. As is the case with many govemmental agencies, CCSO has continued to tighten its belt
and cut Its budget to adapt to the restricted financial resources. As law enforcement officers have retired
or left tHe agency, they have not been replaced. The same holds true for correctional officers and civilian
emploYEfes. With the addition of 4 new COPS funded positions, CCSO will be able to enhance the
flexibility in shift assignments to allow experienced and seasoned COPS to respond to specific community
issues whether they involve a weekend community clean-up event, additional patrols of beach parking
area, re~ail theft operation, participation in a community child safety event or other quality of life,
community safety, or larceny related activity. The agency's current COPS operate out of each of the six
districts;across this large county of 2,025 square miles of land, and respond to the specific needs of their
unique aistrict. Districts range from beachfront, high rise hotels to rural migrant fannworker communities
so the quality of life issues may also vary within these districts. The officers need the flexibility to address
specific:resident and visitor problems that are uniques to their area.
Assignment of officers to specific neighborhoods or areas for longer periods of time to enhance customer
service and facilitate more contact between police and citizens
I
o
With th~ addition of the 4 new positions, CCSO will be able to more effectively assign officers to
neighborhoods to resolve specific community issues. There are currently COPS in all six districts.
However, when special events or large operations require specific skills including foreign languages
(Spanisr, Creole, Eastern European, etc) or an enhanced skill such as Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) or
knowlec;lge of gang or criminal activity, those officers can be more easily reassigned to assist with a
specific: community problem, While the hiring freeze continues, these 4 new COPS positions will provide
CCSO with increased flexibility to respond to a range of community concems that would otherwise take
longer to respond to without these four grant funded positions. The additional manpower will provide the
agency'with the ability to enhance its present level and frequency of communication with citizens and
tourists; The additional staffing capability will provide for a quicker response, the ability to gather data and
infonnation more quickly, and utilize the existing systems to enhance problem solving. The current COPS
coordinl:lte with over 65 different community and business groups so the additional positions will provide
for increased customer service, improved contact and enhanced communication.

The Collier County Sheriffs Office currently has COPS deputies in each of its six districts. Community
Policing has been an integral part of the organization for a number of years as evidenced by the agency's
strategic and community safety plans. At the present time, COPS deputies provide a quarterly report
outlining all of the activities that occurred within their districts, meetings attending, calls for service stats,
problems and disputes addressed during the quarter, participation in community events and other activities
that encourage interaction between law enforcement and the community, CCSO currently collects,
analyzes, and uses crime data and information to support a wide range of problem solving goals.
Examples of data being utilized to address a goal include the formation in 2010 of the Collier County
Organized Retail Theft Association to address larceny in area retail establishments. With the addition of 4
new COPS positions, CCSO will have additional staff to gather data and information and utilize the existing
systems to enhance the agency's ability to problem solve community challenges. The agency is currently
exploring utilizing new tools such as DDACTS which may prove to be beneficial in addressing larceny and
other criminal activity. With additional manpower, a program of this nature might be implemented.

identified in each unique neighborhood from larceny to foreclosed and abandoned homes to prescription
drug ab~se and graffiti. The Collier County Sheriffs Office is always looking for ways to enhance its
commu6ication with residents and visitors to Collier County. In addition to deputies' face to face time in the
community, CCSO has a website, Facebook and Twitter accounts, and a CCSO blog. In addition, printed
material is provided to parents, homeowners associations, businesses, tourists and others who may need
information and resources. The addition of 4 new COPS patrolling the beaches, neighborhoods. retail
establishments and other location will provide the year round residents and over 1 million visitors annually,
with an opportunity to meet and interact with more law enforcement and continue to enhance
commuhication. The personal contacts between law enforcement and residents and visitors, helps to

Given the collapse of the housing market, and the national and international economies, Collier
County's economy has suffered dramatically since 2008. The construction industry was the area's
largest emplbyer at the height of the building boom. With the collapse of the area housing market, the
county lost trousands of jobs in construction, real estate, banking, engineering and other
development related industries. As the housing dependent sectors declined, there was a ripple effect
in retail, hospitality and other industries. Prior to the economic downturn, area unemployment ranged
from 3 to 5%. Between 2009 and 2010, the unemployment rate skyrocketed to 11 and 12% with
unemployment peaking at 13% in August 2010, Along with the loss of construction related jobs, the
tourism ind~stry was impacted by the 2010 Gulf of Mexico/BP oil spill. Although no oil came ashore in
the county, ~e number of visitors declined due to concerns about the oil spill impacts along with the
declining national and international economy. According the local convention and tourism bureau,
Collier Cou~ typically hosts over 1 million visitors annually. Both domestic and international visitors
have declin~d in recent years; however, in 2010 tourism increased by 3,3% over 2009 figures with over
1,3 million vlsitors. Additional negative economic impacts occurred in the agricultural sector with
crop freezesi in 2009 and 2010 resulting in additional job losses. Given the staggering job losses and
unemployment rate, the number of foreclosures ballooned to 8,203 in 2009. Foreclosures in the
county beg~n to escalate in late 2007 to 3,267. By 2008 there were 7,872 foreclosures which peaked at
8,203 in 200'. Fortunately, the foreclosure rate slowed in 2010 to 4,394 but the fiscal impact on local
governmentiis continuing into the fifth straight fiscal year, High foreclosure rates have resulted in
huge losses: of local government revenue. With the reduction of ad valorum revenue and other locally
generated funds, along with a reduction in state funding, local governments began to impose hiring
freezes and in some cases furloughs and lay-offs. As the Collier County Sheriffs Office prepares its
FY '12 budget, there will be no salary increases for the fifth consecutive year. Within the agency, an
exception b~sis hiring freeze has been in effect for the past two fiscal years and will remain in place
for FY'12. Collier County government has requested that the Sheriff reduce his budget annually for
the past fou~ years which will continue in .12. During the past 2 fiscal years, the Sheriffs Office
budget has been reduced by 5% annually. Fortunately, the reductions in budget have come through
attrition an~ reducing capital expenditures to zero for two consecutive years. To date, there have been
no Sheriff's [Office lay-offs or furloughs but vacancies can not be filled due to budget constraints.
There are c~rrently 87 vacant and unfunded sworn law enforcement positions.
