6. GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Public Safety Goal 6.0 Provide public safety services of the highest quality.
Policy 6.1: Provide the Police Department with adequate personnel, equipment and state -of the
art- technology to effectively combat crime, meet existing and projected service demands, and
provide crime prevention programs. These resources should be provided prior to anticipated
needs.
7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
As part of the 2011 State Budget Act, the BSCC was established effective July 1, 2012. The
BSCC assumed the previous functions for the Corrections Standards Authority, as well as other
public safety programs previously administered by the California Emergency Management
Agency.
The steady erosion of funding for city police agencies over the course of several years created a
significant impact on local communities. To help mitigate these cuts, $24 million in BSCC
Local Assistance funding was appropriated in the 2012 Budget Act; Orange County agencies
were allocated approximately $1.43 million.
The allocation formula was developed by the BSCC in consultation with the Department of
Finance. The California Police Chiefs Association, on behalf of local law enforcement agencies,
presented to the BSCC an allocation formula based upon regional needs in each county. The
BSCC recognized the importance of local agencies being able to best identify their own needs
with regards to the use of resources, and approved the formula.
The FY13 allocation of $65,734.17 was used to purchase Major Accident Investigation Team
(MAIT) equipment. The FY14 allocation of $75,333.62 was used to replace out dated equipment
in all four interview rooms. The FY15 allocation was $101,874.08 of which $6,272.53 was
allocated for cabling for the interview room upgrades. The remaining FY15 allocation of
$95,601.55 will be appropriated to an expenditure account for future purchases.
