DISCUSSION On July 19, 1983, (P1&C G-5692), a Juvenile Gang Unit was created to help combat the gang problem that was developing in Fort Worth. This unit consists of three officers and one sergeant. In 1985, the gang problem and the violence associated with it was severe enough to establish a special task force to work selected areas of the City in conjunction with the Gang Unit. This special task force began operation on June 7, 1985 and was successful. An increase in violent gang crimes has surfaced not only on the Northside but on the Southside as well. This increase in crime occurred at an earlier time in the year than last year. The objective of this unit, using officers concentrated in selected areas of the Northside, Southside and Trinity Park, is to reduce the number of violent crimes committed. Funds need to be allocated for this unit and to replace the officers selected to work from Patrol. Officers replacing the individuals selected to work the Task Force will be paid overtime. Funds also are needed for a total of 8 marked and unmarked vehicles and their maintenance. The detail will start June 24, 1986 and work weekends for a total of thirty-nine days. The budget for this detail is as follows 10 officers @ $18.99 per hour $59,248.80 City contribution to retirement 6,813.61 1 Seryeant @ $23.06 per hour 7,194.72 City contribution to retirement 827.39 5 marked patrol cars @ 32~ per mile 4,368.00 3 lease vehicles 2,025.00 lease vehicle maintenance 2,456.00 TOTAL 82,933.52 s DATE NUMBER CE sue~ECTFUNDING FOR A TEPIPORARY GANG ~' PAGE 6/24J86 G-6717 TASK FORCE _? _ ot_? ___ .~ ~,,..„ FINANCING ~~• A supplemental appropriation of $82,934 from the undesignated fund balance is necessary to fund this program.
