Proceeds from the program can only be used for front line law enforcement services that may include the purchase of new equipment, hiring of additional personnel and increasing the opportunity for training of safety personnel.

The Police Department is proposing that this year's allocation be used to staff the Crime Analyst position for a fifth consecutive year. Money remaining after funding this position, if any, will be applied to crime analysis software licensing and upgrades. This bill requires both a public hearing and a special fund established for these monies.
