DISCUSSION Legislation associated with the California 2011 Budget Act established the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) as an independent entity, effective July 1, 2012. The BSCC assumed the previous functions of the Corrections Standards Authority, as well as other public safety programs previously administered by the California Emergency Management Agency. As part of the 2012 State Budget Act, $20 million for Local Assistance was appropriated for city police departments, with the allocation formula to be developed by the BSCC in consultation with the Department of Finance. In January, 2013 the Governor's Proposed Budget was released and included an additional $4 million augmentation, for a total of $24 million for Local Assistance. The California Police Chiefs Association (CPCA), on behalf of local law enforcement agencies, presented to the BSCC an allocation formula based upon the regional needs in each county. In its proposal, the CPCA proposed that the funds could be used regionally and in cooperation with other agencies, and with a focus on serious, violent crimes and habitually non-compliant offenders. The Santa Ana Police Department proposes to use its appropriation to fund overtime, crime analysis systems, and equipment in support of this effort. Orange County agencies were allocated a total of approximately $1.43 million, with the Santa Ana Police Department receiving $156,379. APPROVED ? As Recommended ? As Amended ?
