Officers will become more efficient and <br /> effective in identifying areas of increased criminal activity. Decatur Police Officers will review police reports, Crime <br /> Stoppers tips, and collect information from the department's crime analysts, undercover drug unit and narcotics <br /> Detectives and reference ongoing investigations. Personnel will utilize this information to target the "hot spots" in <br /> Decatur where gun violence and other violent crimes are most predominate. Decatur Police officers will work proactive <br /> overtime hire backs in the form of anti-gun and gang suppression units, bike patrols, foot patrols, increased numbers of <br /> motorized patrols, and saturate the areas where the highest number of crimes are being committed. Foot patrols will <br /> give officers the opportunity to interact with citizens, the basis of community policing, to gather their input as to why <br /> they believe violent crimes are being committed and why individuals are selecting their neighborhoods for criminal <br /> activity as well as develop specific information known to the residents of the community. The Macon County Sheriff's <br /> Office will be using their subrecipient JAG Funds to assist the Decatur Police Department by providing more officers to <br /> cover areas with high gun and violent crimes. The project goal will be to ensure the citizens in these high crime areas <br /> have a heightened sense of safety in their communities and to target and arrest those involved with gun violence and <br /> other violent crimes. <br /> [ ] I have read and understand the information presented in this section of the Federal Award Instrument. <br /> Financial Information <br /> This award is offered subject to the conditions or limitations set forth in the Award Information, Project <br /> Information, Financial Information, and Award Conditions. <br /> [ ] I have read and understand the information presented in this section of the Federal Award Instrument. <br /> Award Conditions <br /> Page: 5 of 23 <br />
