4. Resolution Appropriating $100,000 from the Local Criminal Justice Training
Academy Fund to Support Newport News Police Department Training
A RESOLUTION APPROPRIATING FUNDS FROM THE LOCAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE
TRAINING ACADEMY FUND TO SUPPORT NEWPORT NEWS POLICE
DEPARTMENT TRAINING.
The Criminal Justice Training Academy fees are authorized by City Code, Section
2-18.2, as an assessment of additional court costs to support the Newport
News’ local Criminal Justice Training Academy.
The ordinance allows the Clerk of the Circuit, General District, and Juvenile and
Domestic Relations District courts to assess and collect a fee of five dollars
($5.00) in every case in which costs are assessable; all funds collected pursuant
to this ordinance are to be used to support the Police Department’s Criminal
Justice Training Academy.
The Criminal Justice fund is used to support the majority of Newport News
Police training, for both sworn officers and civilian positions. While the Police
Department does not anticipate expending all funds in this fiscal year, the
balance of the appropriation will be continued to the next fiscal year.
