Sample Budget Narrative

1. Personnel: As the XXX Police Department is in a rural area and has inadequate personnel to implant/create an Investigations Unit to improve and enhance rural area law enforcement investigative capabilities and investigation, we will need to hire two additional sworn police officers. The monetary amount listed in the budget for this program is the salaried rate for a starting sworn police officer at the XXX Police Department. These personnel are required to successfully implement this grant program.
2. Fringe Benefits: For the two new sworn police officers: each officer’s benefits are calculated at 54.89% salaried benefits for 24 months, the length of the grant funding. 54.89% was determined by: SOC/FICA 1.45%, Workers' Comp. 7.14%, Health Insurance 28.80%, and Retirement 17.50%.
3. Travel: The following trainings and meetings are a part of this grant program and essential to its success.
   
   Two sworn staff to attend the Department of Justice-sponsored grant meeting to be held in Washington, D.C. (Estimated costs are documented in the budget portion of this grant.)
   
   Two sworn staff to attend the Department of Justice-sponsored grant meeting to be held in California Congressional District 01.(Estimated costs are documented in the budget portion of this grant.)
   
   Two newly assigned Detectives/Investigators, plus our current Detective/Investigator, will provide us with three Detectives/Investigators forming the Investigations Unit. Training is essential to the success of this unit and program. These three Detectives/Investigators will each be sent to two 80-hour California Police Officers and Standards Training (P.O.S.T.) investigative courses during the course of this grant/program. Specific investigative courses to be determined based on the selection of the Detectives/Investigators and training they have already received and specialized training determined necessary for the success of this program. (Estimated costs are documented in the budget portion of this grant.)
   
   The Sergeant assigned as the Investigations Unit Supervisor will attend an 80-hour California Police Officers and Standards Training (P.O.S.T.) investigative supervisory course. Course to be determined based on the training the assigned supervisor has already received. (Estimated costs are documented in the budget portion of this grant.)
4. Equipment: The following equipment is essential for the Detectives/Investigators to successfully accomplish the goals and objectives of this grant/program.
   
   The XXX Police Department is located in the rural community of XXX in XXX County in northern California. Due to this, the criminals the officers encounter, conduct investigations on, and arrest are familiar with the sworn officers and the department vehicles. In order for the Detectives/Investigators in the Investigations Unit to successfully conduct proactive investigations, they need an unmarked police vehicle. With funds received from this grant, the XXX Police Department will purchase an

   unmarked police vehicle

   for the Investigations Unit to allow the goals and objectives of this grant/program to be accomplished. (Estimated cost is documented in the budget portion of this grant.)
   
   The XXX Police Department Investigations Unit will be very limited in its surveillance capability based on the rural wooded environment the city is located in. In past and current attempts to conduct surveillance operations on criminal suspects during daytime and nighttime hours, XXX Police Department officers have been unsuccessful during the majority of these operations due to our rural environment and the size of the community. Additionally, during nighttime hours on crimes-in-progress calls, officers have been unsuccessful in locating and apprehending the suspects the majority of the time. This is due to the lack of technology and resources available to the XXX Police Department officers. With funds received from this grant, the XXX Police Department will purchase a FLIR FlashSight device (a handheld thermal imaging device made specifically for law enforcement) to allow the goals and objectives of this grant/program to be accomplished. (Cost determined by phone quote from FLIR and is documented in the budget portion of this grant.)
5. Supplies: The following supplies are essential for the Detectives/Investigators to successfully accomplish the goals and objectives of this grant/program.
   
   As previously stated, the city of XXX is in a rural, wooded area in XXX County in northern California, which is very well known for illegal marijuana growing operations. The suspects who engage in these activities often travel to and from the illegal marijuana growing operations. To locate, investigate, and successfully prosecute these suspects, Detectives/Investigators need to be able to locate the illegal marijuana growing operations. A safe way to do this is with technology that the department does not yet possess. That technology is covert GPS tracking devices that can be attached to suspect vehicles. Covert GPS tracking devices can be used with data loggers and live tracking devices. Detectives/Investigators need these devices to conduct other narcotics-related investigations, to use with bait property operations, and to track other suspects engaged in criminal activity, identifying locations they frequent and their associates. With funds received from this grant, the XXX Police Department will purchase two covert GPS data loggers, one live track covert GPS device with magnetic case, activation, and a 2-year tracking subscription. These devices will allow the goals and objectives of this grant/program to be accomplished. (Costs determined from listed prices on the company’s Web site and are documented in the budget portion of this grant.)
   
   The XXX Police Department Detectives/Investigators in the Investigations Unit will be responsible for conducting field interviews and documenting audio and video evidence during their investigations. An essential tool is a high definition compact portable video recorder that can be carried easily and used in the field. The video recorder also needs to be able to download audio and video recordings directly onto the computer. With funds received from this grant, the XXX Police Department will purchase three HD IFlip portable audio/video recorders, one for each Detective/Investigator in the unit. These devices will allow the goals and objectives of this grant/program to be accomplished. (Costs determined from listed prices on the company’s Web site and are documented in the budget portion of this grant.)
   
   The XXX Police Department Detectives/Investigators in the Investigations Unit will require three holsters for their department-issued Glock Model 22 40 Caliper pistols. This will allow one holster for each Detective/Investigator to use while in plain clothes, making them safe while accomplishing the goals and objectives of this grant/program. With funds received from this grant, the XXX Police Department will purchase the three holsters. (Costs determined from listed prices on the company’s Web site and are documented in the budget portion of this grant.)
   
   The XXX Police Department Detectives/Investigators in the Investigations Unit will require three magazine/handcuff cases. This will allow one set for each Detective/Investigator to use, while in plain clothes, making their police gear accessible.

(Costs determined from listed prices on the company’s Web site and are documented in the budget portion of this grant.)
