RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution to approve the proposed expenditure plan for the FY
2005/06 Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund.
DISCUSSION
The State of California provides grant funding to State law enforcement
agencies through the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF).
This grant requires that funding be allocated to counties and cities in
accordance with specific requirements for front-line law enforcement
services. Front-line law enforcement typically includes community oriented
policing projects and special law enforcement activities that require use
of additional police officers in specially targeted saturation areas.
Total funding allocation is based on annual estimated population figures
for respective counties and cities. In FY 2004/05, the Police Department
received an award of $512,130.
The potential funding amount for FY 2005/06 has yet to be authorized
through the State budget. In compliance with the requirements of this
legislation, the Orange County Supplemental Law Enforcement Oversight
Commi ttee has requested that all cities obtain City Council approval of
their Description of Planned Expenditures for FY 2005/06 (Exhibit 1). The
Police Department plans to utilize these funds for front-line crime
reduction efforts such as gang suppression, cruiser enforcement, and career
criminal apprehension.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
