Project Description: |
The Sheriff of Pinellas County will provide Child Protective Investigations. This is not a local function and additional funding is required to implent the investigations properly. The amount of funding requested will provide additional positions and equipment necessary to continue this function for the Department of Children and Families. The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office has been providing this service for 5 years and some of the funding needed will provide replacement vehicles for the Child Protective Investigators. In addition, wee need Office space - we anticipate needing 35,000-40,000 sq. feet, and other operational equipment. |
