DISCUSSION The State of California provides grant funding to State law enforcement agencies through the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF). The 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. The projected funding amount for FY 2012/13 is estimated at $350,000. In compliance with the requirements of this legislation, the Orange County Supplemental Law Enforcement Oversight Committee has requested that all cities obtain City Council approval of their Description of Planned Expenditures for FY 2012/13. The Police Department plans to utilize these funds for special enforcement and gang detail overtime. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action Paul M.
