The tampa police department's resources in community hope (r.i.c.h.) house programs serve as a safe haven for kids in sulphur springs and robles park. Tampa police officers serve as a role models, tutors and liaisons between residents and the police department. The sites offer after-school and summer school programming, in addition to access to enrichment and family social services. The program's focus is on education, conflict-resolution, socialization and self-esteem building. One hundred and fifteen (115) students were enrolled during this school year. The black history committee's mission is to reduce crime and enhance the quality of life through a cooperative partnership with all citizens. These partnerships include the historic emphasis of promoting educational awareness of african americans in law enforcement, the importance of diversity and achievement, and maintaining a relationship with the community as a whole. Ten students attending were awarded grants to further their education. The goal of the k-9 unit is to enhance the police department's objectives in providing quality law enforcement service to the community. The specially trained canines accompany their human law enforcement personnel to provide investigative, search and seizure, criminal apprehension and other life-saving activities. This group provides the canines with necessary supplies such as vests and training to accomplish their work. We are currently serving 21 canines. The homeless initiative's goal is to provide compassionate outreach from police officers to the homeless population. Examples of outreach include referrals to social services, temporary and permanent housing assistance, temporary transportation and support in obtaining birth certificates and identification cards. On an average day, the two officers interact with an average of 40 people daily, resulting in a net impact of at least 2,400 homeless individuals for a year. The purpose of the tampa police pistol team is to promote firearms safety, awareness, and proficiency training. The team uses competitive shooting sports as a means to interact with other members of law enforcement and the community and using this experience to provide more efficient training to tampa police officers. The estimated number of people served was 125. The mounted police unit's goal is to enhance and assist the uniform patrol districts, as well as any area of the police department. Mounted patrol officers and their horses are specially trained for crime prevention, public relations, criminal apprehension, dignitary protection, search and rescue, special escorts, crowd control and civil disorder. The horses for the unit, and much of the equipment and training, are acquired through donations. Over the last year, the unit had six mounted officers and six horses.
