DISCUSSION
On September 5, 2006, Council approved the proposed expenditure plan for
the FY 2006/07 Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF) and on
November 20, 2006, Council accepted the funds in the amount of $684,861.
The original plan included utilizing the funds to support overtime programs
for front-line crime reduction efforts such as gang suppression, cruiser
enforcement, and career criminal apprehension.
After additional review, the Police Department proposes to also utilize a
portion of the funding to purchase equipment for front-line crime reduction
efforts. These include a deployment vehicle for the Strike Force team,
horse trailers for the Mounted Unit, and digital media forensics equipment
for the Computer Forensics Unit. The Orange County Oversight Committee
requires City Council approval of the proposed changes to the original
SLESF expenditure plan.
