COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Citizen's Option for Public Safety Program (COPS) Legislation
September 24, 1996
REVISED
PREPARED BY: LARRY D. HANSEN, CHIEF OF POLICE
RECOMMENDED ACTION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Chief of Police to
expend $126,757 in State funds to support "Front Line" police services.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: AB 3229, Section 1, Sub -paragraph a, states, "The Legislature
hereby finds and declares that there is a compelling need for
additional resources to be applied at the local level for the
purpose of insuring public safety."
This legislation also dictates that the City Council shall appropriate existing and anticipated moneys exclusively to fund
front line municipal police services in accordance with written requests submitted by the Chief of Police.
It should be noted that this legislation provides for front line law enforcement services including anti -gang and
community oriented policing programs.
The City of Lodi and Lodi Police Department have been very fortunate in the past 18 months and have received
notification for funding on the following four grants:
Federal Universal Hiring Grant
This Grant authorizes the City to hire six additional Police Officers and will provide Federal funds over a three-year
period totaling $450,000.
Pu tic Safety and Community Policing Grant
This Grant provides $368,305 for a one-time expenditure for lap tops and computer terminals for the patrol cars.
Federal Law Enforcement Block Grant totals $104.Q$7
This Grant provides funding for a variety of law enforcement purposes and it is my intent to use these funds for future
technology that have not been identified at this point.
State of California COPS (Citizen's Option for Public Safety) Program - $126,757
This money provides funds for local law enforcement to support front line police services.
The total of Federal and State funds is $1.049.119.
The Federal Universal Hiring Grant provides funds that will be distributed to the City of Lodi over a three-year
period. The breakdown of City Match and Federal funding is as follows:

Page Two
The City Match for each of the six police officer positions, over a three-year period, is as follows:
Year 1 $ 9,536 x 6 = S 57,216
Year 2 $29,535 x 6 = $177,210
Year 3 $34,535x6= $207,210
The breakdown of Federal funding for this grant is as follows:
Year 1
$40,000 x 6 =
$240,000
Year 2
$20,000 x 6 =
$120,000
Year 3
$15,000 x 6 =
$ 90,000
The Public Safety and Community Policing Grant is a one-year Grant and it is not anticipated that additional
funding will be provided through this grant for technology.
The funds from the Federal Law Enforcement Block Grant can be expended over a two-year period and it is
possible that Lodi Police Department may receive funding in future years through this program.
The State COPS Program is based on legislation that could provide ongoing funding if the legislature authorizes a
new appropriation on a yearly basis.
It is my recommendation that Council not use State COPS funds to fund additional personnel. This funding is brand
new and although there are strong indicators that this could be an ongoing funding stream, I would advise caution at
this time.
My budget focuses primarily on providing complete funding for six police officers by combining Federal and State
funds and by providing some much needed equipment to support our front line police services. The City's cost for
Police Officers in the first year is $ -0-.

enable us to use the old bicycles for Reserve Police Officers to expand our Bicycle Patrol Program. This also
provides one new bicycle for Park Police.

officers in simulated training scenarios. This money will be used to purchase the necessary equipment.
