EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Rosemount Police Department has been participating in a countywide traffic enforcement effort since
May of 2005 when the Council approved the Mutual Pohce Assistance Agreement for traffic enforcement.
The Agreement also authonzed the participating agencies to submit joint grant apphcations for traffic
enforcement funds.
The Dakota Impasred Dnveng project has now been awarded two grants through the Minnesota Department
of Pubhc Safety Office of Traffic Safety. A grant of $12,000 was awarded through the Safe Sober
program for agencies to participate in the May 2006 seatbelt mobilization. An additional $60,000 grant
was awarded for a National Highway Traffic Safety Admuustration (NHTSA) program. This project will
have one enforcement project each month for the next twelve months excluding May 2006 when the
seatbelt enforcement effort is done as part of the Safe Sober grant. For the NHTSA program, there will
also be an additional enforcement project conducted at rune different times in the next twelve months.
Participating agencies will not be reimbursed through the grant for these nine events. Rosemount's match
for the grant will be approximately 36 hours of officer time committed to the enforcement project
The enforcement projects will be planned at vanous locations throughout the County and will be held
during hohday penods, e.g. Halloween weekend, Christmas and community festivals.
Because this is a joint project one agency had to be listed as the fiscal agent for grant purposes. Apple
Valley will be the fiscal agent for this effort and all participating will forward documentation to Apple
Valley for reimbursement.
