DISCUSSION
The State of California provides grant funding to state law enforcement agencies through the
Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF). This program 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.
Funding allocations for SLESF are based on annual estimated population figures for respective
counties and cities. Based on Santa Ana's population figures, the State estimates that the Police
Department will receive $527,000 in FY 2012-13 SLESF funding. To date, the Police Department
has received $394,941 of the FY 2012-13 allocation. Given that SLESF revenues are based on
State projections, the Police Department only recognizes SLESF funds after they are received.
The Police Department is anticipating the final quarterly payment of approximately $132,059 later
this calendar year.
In addition, the Police Department received a late payment of $47,327 for the 2010-11 fiscal year.
The recommended action will recognize both the $394,941 received for FY 2012-13 and the
$47,327 received for FY 2010-11, for a total amount of $442,268.
On July 2, 2012, City Council approved the proposed expenditure plan for FY 2012-13 SLESF.
The Police Department proposes to utilize this funding for special enforcement and gang detail
overtime.
