| Project Description: | |||||||||
| This funding will be used to build a training facility needed for firearms training and qualifications for law enforcement officers in the City of Miami. Since the Miami Police Training Academy is State Certified, other law enforcement agencies can benefit from in-service training courses as well as firearms qualifications. Additionally, Miami voters approved a $10 million bond for a police traning facility. | |||||||||
| Is this a water project as described in Chapter 2002-291, Laws of Florida? | No | ||||||||
| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: | |||||||||
| In addition to better trained officers, which is critical after the events of Sept. 11, the city will no longer have to rent other facilities from other agencies. This would save countless time and money as the logistics of getting more than a 1,000 officers trained and qualified in the use of firearms in a rent facility is inconvienient. Additionally, law enforcement officers throughout the state would have access to this facility. | |||||||||
