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, $20 million in BSCC Local
Assistance funding was appropriated in the Budget Act of 2016; Orange County agencies were
allocated approximately $1.27 million to increase positive outcomes between law enforcement and
high -risk populations. Awards were determined based on an even split option between small and
large departments.
BSCC funds will allow the Department to attain the following:
• Crisis intervention and mental health training for officers in support of homeless outreach
• Participation in a soccer camp in support of the youth diversion program
• Participation in curfew sweeps and enforcement suppression programs
• Purchase of tablets for City departments to document and track graffiti in support of gang
prevention programs
In addition, agencies receiving funds agree to provide data on the number of use -of -force
incidents, new program teams, training services, and equipment purchases. The City's FY17
allocation amount is $57,088.09 and will be appropriated to overtime and equipment
expenditure accounts for future use.
