Corrections Local Assistance law enforcement funds from the California Board of State and

grant expenditure account.
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.
The Budget Act of 2015 allocates $20 million for front line law enforcement activities, of which
Orange County's share is approximately $1.19 million. Compared to 2014 the new allocation
saw a reduction of 50 percent in funding. The 2015 legislation authorizing this allocation added
new mandates that require agencies to report use -of -force incidents. 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 will use its appropriation to support these efforts. Orange County agencies
were allocated a total of $1.19 million, with the Santa Ana Police Department receiving
$295,610.
