The BSCC <br />assumed the previous functions of the Corrections Standards Authority, as well as other public <br />safety programs previously administered by the California Emergency Management Agency. <br />The Budget Act of 2015 allocates $20 million for front line law enforcement activities, of which <br />Orange County's share is approximately $1.19 million. Compared to 2014 the new allocation <br />saw a reduction of 50 percent in funding. The 2015 legislation authorizing this allocation added <br />new mandates that require agencies to report use -of -force incidents. The California Police <br />Chiefs Association (CPCA), on behalf of local law enforcement agencies, presented to the BSCC <br />an allocation formula based upon the regional needs in each county. In its proposal, the CPCA <br />proposed that the funds could be used regionally and in cooperation with other agencies, and <br />with a focus on serious, violent crimes and habitually non - compliant offenders. The Santa Ana <br />Police Department will use its appropriation to support these efforts. Orange County agencies <br />were allocated a total of $1.19 million, with the Santa Ana Police Department receiving <br />$295,610. <br />20B -1 <br />
