Sierra MadreSierra MadreBuyers have accepted higher 
interest rates as the new standard 
and the supply of available homes 
is insufficient to meet the demand 
of buyers. This is a moment that 
calls for action! Instead of getting 
sidetracked by uncertainties, pay 
attention to the actual developments 
in our local market, stay committed

SMPD TO RECEIVE 
PUBLIC SAFETY 
GRANT FOR AN 
AWARENESS & 
EDUCATION 

CAMPAIGN 

RE: IMPAIRED 
DRIVING 

Sierra Madre Police Department is expanding its efforts 
to discourage impaired driving in town.

They have been awarded a state grant of approximately 
$122,000 via the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant 
Opportunity (CTFG) administered by the California 
Highway Patrol for the 2023-2024 fiscal year.

As a result of the passage of Proposition 64, the 
Control, Regulate, and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana 
Act (AUMA), California voters mandated 
that the state set aside CHP funding to award 
grants to local governments and qualified non-
profit organizations. 

Last year The California Highway Patrol granted 
more than $12 million in grant funds for 45 California 
law enforcement agencies, crime laboratories, 
and nonprofit groups to help address the 
dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol 
and/or drugs. 

The Sierra Madre Police Department applied for 
a grant for 2023-2024 to help SMPD reduce and 
mitigate the impacts of impaired driving in the 
city.

The grant will help the departnent increase the 
knowledge of law enforcement personnel in detecting 
and removing impaired drivers from the 
roadway as well as general prevention education 
and community outreach designed to educate 
the public about the dangers of impaired driving 
including presentations to middle and/or high 
school students, with a direct focus on Drive 
High = DUI, Designate a Sober Driver, or another 
campaign message against impaired driving).

The council will review will the grant award and 
if satisfactory by a majority of the council, will 
adopt a resolution approving acceptance of the 
grant. The matter is on the Agenda for the council 
meeting scheduled for Tuesday, June 27, 2023.
