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. Based on Santa Ana's estimated
population figures for 2005, the Police Department has received a FY
2005/06 SLESF grant award of $507,457. This is the tenth year the Police
Department has received funding from the State of California through this
grant program.
On September 6, 2005, Council approved the proposed expenditure plan for
the FY 2005/06 SLESF grant. The Police Department proposes to utilize
approximately eight percent of this funding to purchase equipment and
supplies for a new Bicycle Rapid Response Team, with the remaining funds to
be used as originally approved by Council.

The Bicycle Rapid Response Team is a supplement to the standard mobile
field force configuration and will be deployed in situations of anticipated
civil unrest. Such situations may include protests, demonstrations, high
profile events, and other gatherings of large groups of people. The
Bicycle Rapid Response Team provides the ability to maneuver officers
through heavy pedestrian traffic and obstructions that would prohibit other
emergency vehicles. The team may also be used to respond to requests for
mutual aid from local law enforcement agencies in Orange County.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the appropriation adjustment will enhance the SLESF FY 2005/06
Grant revenue account (account no. 128-01-5370) and expenditure accounts
(account no. 128-349-various) by $507,457.
