March 10. 2009 Background: . The Hampton Roads Criminal Justice Training Academy (HRCJTA) provides basic Law Enforcement Training and In-Service training for Portsmouth Police Officers as required by the State Department of Criminal Justice Service (DCJS). The amount paid to (HRCJTA) annually for this service is $52,920. By agreement between the Portsmouth Police Department and the Hampton Roads Criminal Justice Training Academy (HRCJTA), the department has one (1) sworn police officer assigned to the Academy's training staff. In return, the Academy provides the Portsmouth Police Department $25,000 annually to be utilized to pay for additional training for Police Department personnel. Discussion: . Historically (HRCJTA) has managed and processed the expenditure of these training funds in conjunction with its financial agent the City of Hampton on behalf of the Portsmouth Police Department. In FY 09 the Academy requested that the $25,000 training funds be paid directly to the City of Portsmouth Police Department to more efficiently manage these financial resources. . Upon the City receipt of the $25,000 training revenue from (HRCJTA), City Council action is requested to utilize these funds to increase the Police Department's Training budget appropriation $25,000. Financial Impact: . Zero impact to the General Fund. No local share required from the General Fund. The $25,000 revenue to be received annually from (HRCJTA) will be off set by training appropriation expenditures. Staff Recommends: . Adoption of an Ordinance to allocate a refund from the Hampton Roads Criminal Justice Training Academy to the Police Department training budget in the amount of $25,000.
