PS001: FY24 PSNS - Operation Cease Fire

The City of Fort Pierce has entered into an award agreement with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for Operation Cease Fire, identified as contract PS001. Funded by the US Department of Justice Project Safe Neighborhoods program, this grant provides 137,190.00 dollars for the period spanning January 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. The primary objectives of the initiative are to disrupt criminal activity, reduce violence, and strengthen community relationships through the procurement of specialized equipment and the funding of overtime for participating officers. The agreement operates on a cost-reimbursement basis and mandates strict adherence to quarterly financial and performance reporting requirements. While a previous withholding of funds was enacted under Special Condition W0092 due to delinquent reporting, a subsequent amendment dated July 16, 2026, cleared this condition following the submission of the required documentation. The project remains subject to the remaining special conditions outlined in the updated award documentation.
