ensure the continuing education of certain licensed Law Enforcement Officers or to provide necessary

the agency.
The allocation is derived from the LEOSE account funded through court costs collected in criminal cases.
Funds totaling 20 percent of the account are allocated equally among the qualified agencies. The
remaining 80 percent is allocated based on the number of eligible enforcement positions each agency
has, as of January 1 of the preceding year. The Police Department qualifies for the annual LEOSE
allocation and received $100,199.87 in Fiscal Year 2011.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating
