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 2014/2105, we have been notified 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 this year's allocation be used to staff the Crime Analyst position for a ninth consecutive year. Money remaining after funding this position, if any, will be applied to crime analysis software licensing and upgrades.
