Approve an appropriation adjustment to recognize $306,172.45 in the FY 2014 -15 Supplemental
Law Enforcement Services revenue account and appropriate same to the grant expenditure
account for special enforcement and gang detail overtime.
DISCUSSION
The State of California provides grant funding to state law enforcement agencies through the
Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Account (SLESA). 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 SLESA 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 $524,222 in FY 2014 -15 SLESA funding. To date, the Police Department has received
$306,172.45 of the FY 2014 -15 allocation. The Police Department is anticipating the final FY
2014 -15 payments of approximately $218,049 later this fiscal year. The Police Department
proposes to utilize this funding for special enforcement and gang detail overtime.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item allows the City to meet Goal #1 Community Safety, Objective #3 (promote
fiscal accountability to ensure financial responsibility at all levels of the organization), Strategy B
(promote ongoing efforts to obtain grant funding for activities that will assist in preventing,
enforcing and reducing criminal activity and traffic collisions).
