Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the City Auditor to appropriate $3,500 within the unappropriated balance of the Public Safety Initiatives Fund to the Division of Police for traveling and training (continued education) purposes. Due to budget constraints within the General Fund, the Department of Public Safety is requesting that funds be appropriated within City Council's Public Safety Initiatives Fund to enable Police Photo Lab and Print Shop personnel to attend "Intermediate Forensic Video Analysis and the Law" training at the University of Indianapolis from December 10 to 14, 2007. This training is necessary for the personnel involved to adequately monitor and interpret video evidence. The funds requested will pay for training, hotel and per diem expenses for two employees.
