SUBJECT:
Authorize Acceptance of the Fiscal Year 2019 Allocation Payment from the State of Texas Law
Enforcement Officer Standards and Education Program in the Amount Up to $130,000.00 Subject to
Receipt of the Funds and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the acceptance of the Fiscal Year 2019 allocation payment from the State of Texas Law
Enforcement Officer Standards and Education Program in the amount up to $130,000.00; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Special Purpose Fund in an amount up to $130,000.00 subject to receipt of the funds.
DISCUSSION:
The State Comptroller of Public Accounts is directed, under Section 1701.157 of the Texas Occupations
Code, to make allocations from the Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (LEOSE) account
to qualified law enforcement agencies. Section 1701.157 of the Texas Occupations Code sets forth the
two permissible uses of LEOSE funds. Funds received from the LEOSE account may be used to provide
for the continuing education of licensed law enforcement officers. Additionally, LEOSE funds may be used
to provide necessary training, as determined by the Chief of Police, to full-time law enforcement support
personnel within the Fort Worth Police Department.
Twenty percent of the LEOSE funds are allocated to all local law enforcement agencies in Texas in equal
shares. Eighty percent of the LEOSE funds are allocated to local law enforcement agencies based on the
Agency's ability to meet certain statutory requirements. The Fort Worth Police Department qualified for
the annual LEOSE allocation. The allocation is derived from the LEOSE account funded through court
costs collected in criminal cases. The Fort Worth Police Department anticipates to receive no more than
$130,000.00 LEOSE allocation for fiscal year 2019. Funds are received by March of each year. The Police
Department has the responsibility to verify the receipt of funds and notify the Performance and Budget
Office when received so they may be appropriated.

allocation, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Special Purpose
