DISCUSSION
The State of California provides grant funding to state law enforcement
agencies through the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF).
This program 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. Based on Santa Ana's estimated
population figures for 2008, the Police Department has received a FY
2008/09 SLESF award of $563,152. This is the thirteenth year the Police
Department has received funding from the State of California through this
program.
On January 7, 2008, Council approved the proposed expenditure plan for the
FY 2007/08 SLESF. The Police Department proposes to utilize this funding
to purchase equipment and supplies for front-line crime reduction efforts.
The remaining funds will be used for enforcement activities including gang
suppression, cruiser enforcement, and career criminal apprehension.
