Front-line law enforcement typically includes community oriented <br />policing projects and special law enforcement activities that require use <br />of additional police officers in specially targeted saturation areas. <br />Total funding allocation is based on annual estimated population figures <br />for respective counties and cities. In FY 2004/05, the Police Department <br />received an award of $512,130. <br /> <br />The potential funding amount for FY 2005/06 has yet to be authorized <br />through the State budget. In compliance with the requirements of this <br />legislation, the Orange County Supplemental Law Enforcement Oversight <br />Commi ttee has requested that all cities obtain City Council approval of <br />their Description of Planned Expenditures for FY 2005/06 (Exhibit 1). The <br />Police Department plans to utilize these funds for front-line crime <br />reduction efforts such as gang suppression, cruiser enforcement, and career <br />criminal apprehension. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br /> <br />I) ,r <br />.i c~ ~.( LJ.( ~~.. <br /> <br />Paul M.
