On November 16, 2010, the Crime Control and Prevention District Board of Directors held a public hearing and considered a request from staff to amend the FY2011 budget to amend the budget by adding $4,087.451.00.

These savings combined with an additional $2,126,351.00 from fund balance will fund the purchase of 140 marked vehicles for a total of$3,213,420.00. The department has not added police officers based on the Patrol Allocation Model (PAM) due to budget constraints. Based on projected attribution in the coming fiscal year, the department is requesting to add 50 new police recruits. This would allow the department to have 80 new recruits available. The total funding allocation for this endeavor is $1,961,100.00.
