Re: Operating Budget
The State of Hawai'i Department of the Attorney General, Crime Prevention and Justice
Assistance Division has authorized a $113,885 Hawai'i Narcotics Task Force - Recovery
Act Grant to the Hawai'i County Police Department. The purpose of this grant is to disrupt
the flow of narcotics via the apprehension of mid- to high- level dealers that are smuggling

Maui Police Department, and Kauai Police Department, 2) increase knowledge of vice
officers by providing training in such topics as narcotic investigations, current drug trends,
smuggling and distribution techniques, and State/Federal laws that impact the task force,
and 3) conduct quarterly meetings to coordinate joint operations and training, as well as
other enforcement efforts, and to share information. The funds provided by the State of
Hawai'i Department of the Attorney General are derived from the federal government's
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Enclosed is a resolution to authorize the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the State of
Hawai'i Department of the Attorney General for this grant.
Also enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending the Operating Budget by appropriating the
$113,885 grant into the Hawai'i Narcotics Task Force - Recovery Act
