Public safety: funding.

Existing law establishes in each county treasury a Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Account (SLESA) and requires the county auditor to allocate moneys in the SLESA in a prescribed manner to counties and cities located within the county for the purpose of funding specified public safety programs. This bill would appropriate $85,000,000 from the General Fund in the State Treasury to be allocated by the State Controller to each city's and city and county's SLESA. The bill would require the county auditor for a county to allocate moneys received from that appropriation to the county, each city within the county, and certain special districts, as specified. The bill would authorize a local agency that receives funds from that allocation to use the funds for front-line law enforcement activities, including drug interdiction, antigang, community crime prevention, and juvenile justice programs. The bill would make related legislative findings and declarations.
