PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 1
1. SUPPLEMENTAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES FUND (SLESF)
In 1996, AB 3229 established the Citizen's Option for Public Safety (COPS)
grant program. 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. For FY 2012 -13, we have been notified that the Police Department is
estimated to receive $100,000 in SLESF funding. The allocation for
SLESF /COPS grant funds for all law enforcement agencies is being coordinated
through the Orange County Sheriffs Department. All agencies have been

directed to move forward with expenditure authorization while waiting for the
final grant amounts to be determined.
The Police Department is proposing that this year's allocation be used to staff
the Crime Analyst position for a seventh consecutive year. Money remaining
after funding this position, if any, will be applied to crime analysis software
licensing and upgrades. In addition, there is carry-over money from the last two
fiscal years. It is recommended that the money be used to purchase a mobile
license plate recognition system. This bill requires both a public hearing and a
special fund established for these monies.
