This program requires that funding be <br />allocated to counties and cities in accordance with specific requirements for front-line law <br />enforcement services. Front-line law enforcement typically includes community oriented policing <br />projects and special law enforcement activities that require use of additional police officers in <br />specially targeted saturation areas. <br />Total funding allocation is based on annual estimated population figures for respective counties and <br />cities. Based on Santa Ana's estimated population figures for 2010, the Police Department has <br />received a FY 2010111 SLESF award of $262,130. This is the fifteenth year the Police Department <br />has received funding from the State of California through this program. <br />The Police Department proposes to utilize this funding for enforcement activities including gang <br />suppression, cruiser enforcement, and career criminal apprehension. <br />20C-1
