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 2008/09, the Police Department <br />received an award of $563,152. <br />The potential funding amount for FY 2009/10 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 />Committee has requested that all cities obtain City Council approval of <br />their Description of Planned Expenditures for FY 2009/10. The Police <br />Department plans to utilize these funds for equipment and overtime for <br />front-line crime reduction efforts such as gang suppression, cruiser <br />enforcement, and career criminal apprehension. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br />C~(~~--~ <br />Paul M.
