HILLSBOROUGH POLICE DEPARTMENT <br /> " IN 127 N. CHURTON ST. HILLSBC)I;UC'GH, \{C 27278 <br /> •, y OFFICE (919) 296 900- FAX (919) 732-2187 ' r <br /> Chief ofPolit-c, Dunne Hampton <br /> Hillsborough Police Department <br /> 2025-2026 ABC Funding Request <br /> I. Overtime Funds for Alcohol Enforcement Cost: $9,600.00 <br /> Purpose: The Alcohol Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT) team we started in 2011 consists of <br /> officers assigned to a variety of positions within the police department who come together to carry out <br /> dedicated alcohol enforcement operations including, but not limited to compliance checks, saturation <br /> patrols or retail surveillance operations. In addition, these officers attend specialized training in legal <br /> issues and tactics used to enforce underage drinking laws_ Because these officers must continue to <br /> complete their regular duties, much of our alcohol enforcement and training efforts must be undertaken <br /> by officers outside of their regular job duties in and off-duty capacity. <br /> This year's request is based on our goal of spending 16 hours per month on ALERT operations <br /> including compliance-type operations, inspections, surveillance and focused patrol operations, and <br /> training. We have had to make increases in our hourly compensation to secure officers to work these <br /> additional assignments, and as a result this is an increase this year. <br /> ll. ALERT Equipment Cost: $2963.00 <br /> Purpose: These funds are being requested to purchase equipment needed to facilitate ALERT <br /> operations. We have identified 3 key equipment needs we hope to use this grant funding on: <br /> 1. Casper - Cell phone software that can be used for compliance operations and other <br /> undercover related activities. The person overseeing the operation will have the ability to <br /> monitor audio, video, and the location of underage buyers carrying out ALERT <br /> operations. This will be another layer of video evidence that can be used in the <br /> prosecution of ALERT related offenses. We would like to acquire 3 licenses - $2,963 <br /> annual cost. <br /> Total Request: $12,563.00 <br /> 1217_11f 071I00H 1j[j��'1�(11'O21tJEl, _A/C 3,-2-S • 'Tel (()lc;) 'Ft ,V (010) �1ti— <br />
