RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution to approve the proposed expenditure plan for the FY 2012/13 Supplemental Law
Enforcement Services Fund.
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.
