SUBJECT:

DISCUSSION:
The Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education Fund (LEOSE) is an account in the State
Treasury funded through court costs collected in criminal cases. The Comptroller of Public Accounts is
directed, under the Texas Occupations Code, Section 1701.157, to make allocations from the LEOSE
account to qualified law enforcement agencies. Under the Texas Occupations Code, 20% of the
appropriated amount is distributed to all participating agencies in equal shares, and 80% is distributed
based on the number of qualifying officers at each entity. Participating agencies must use the funds to
provide continuing education for law enforcement officers.
This M&C will create a Fire LEOSE project in the Grants Operating Other Fund with $10,000.00 in
allocations and an anticipated $10,000.00 in offsetting revenues for expenses and revenues related to
Fire's LEOSE payments. Previous years' allocations have averaged approximately $1,450.00 annually.
The Fire Department will be responsible for the oversight and management of this project.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the Grants Operating Other Fund. This is an
allocation. Reimbursements are received after City funds are expended.
