BACKGROUND
The Local Safety and Protection Account (LSl?A} in the Transportation Fund expects to receive
$497 million in revenues in 2009-10. The Sta~:e Department of Finance estimates a total of $211
million in LSPA revenues will be available for purposes of the Citizens' Option for Public Safety
(COPS) program and the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA). Pursuant to
Government Code Section 30061, it is anticip~~ted that the COPS and JJCPA programs will each
receive $105 million. Cupertino's share for 2009-10 is $100,000.
USE OF FUNDS
Cities are required to appropriate COPS reve~iues to fund front line municipal police services.
This can include anti-gang and community crime prevention programs. The funds are to be
appropriated pursuant to a written request from the Chief of Police or the Chief Administrator of
the law enforcement agency that provides police services for that city. Capt. Terry Caldexone has
requested that the $100,000 be used to fund a. second School Resource Offcer for the 2009-10
school year. The Fremont Union High School District and Cupertino Union School District have
each contributed $10,000 to cover the remaining expense for the second officer for the 2009-10
fiscal year only.
