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.
I
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 in the amount of$98,359.57 for Fiscal Year 2015.
I
