RESOLUTION NO. 239
WHEREAS, the City of Clermont, Florida, herein called the "Applicant",
after thorough consideration of the problem and available data, has hereby deter-
mined that the project described below is in the best interest of the general
public:
REGIONAL WORK EXPERIENCE (CADET) PROGRAM
This program is designed to attract college and pre-college students to the
Criminal Justice System. This is accomplished by financially assisting criminal
justice agencies interested in bringing into their organization such students in
a work experience environment. In this environment it is expected that more
educated young people will acquire a better understanding of the criminal justice
mission, thereby being attracted to some aspect of the profession. Those who do
not choose to follow the profession will carry this understanding forward in their
contact with other members of society. Secondarily, through providing cadet man-
power, full-time law enforcement personnel are released for more time in contact with
the public, and additional related services are provided that otherwise would not
be financially possible. The project will be evaluated in several ways including
the measuring of the number of students attracted to the profession and the number
of full-time manhours made available for other duties.
WHEREAS, under the terms of Public Law °0-351 as amended, the United States
of America has authorized the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, through
the Florida Bureau of Criminal Justice Planning and Assistance to make Federal
Grants to assist local government in the improvement of criminal justice; and
