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. Funding allocations for SLESF are based on annual
estimated population figures for respective counties and cities.
Based on Santa Ana's population figures, the State estimated that the Police Department would
receive $526,379 in FY 2013 -14 SLESF funding. $347,095 of the FY 2013 -14 appropriation has
been recognized and appropriated, and $216,659 has been recently received. FY 2013 -14
SLESF payments received exceed the original estimate by $37,375, for total of $563,754. The
Police Department proposes to utilize this funding for special enforcement and gang detail
overtime.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item allows the City to meet Goal #1 Community Safety, Objective #3 (promote
fiscal accountability to ensure financial responsibility at all levels of the organization), Strategy B
(promote ongoing efforts to obtain grant funding for activities that will assist in preventing,
enforcing and reducing criminal activity and traffic collisions).
