| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
Approve a budget amendment increasing appropriations by $308,935 to be offset by use of prior year Restricted Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement (SAFE) fund balance in the Sheriff's Grant Administration budget to fund regional SAFE activities. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
The Sheriff’s Grants Admin Budget records the appropriations and revenues for the California Region III Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement (SAFE) grant. The SAFE program is a statutorily established program under California Penal Code 13887 with the mission to reduce violent sexual assault offenses through proactive surveillance and arrest of habitual sexual offenders. The funding for the SAFE program was shifted in 2011 when it was included in 2011 Realignment and is remitted to the County from the State Director of Finance. Shasta County is the fiduciary for Region III which is comprised of 13 Northern California Counties and 19 participating agencies.
The Sheriff’s Office, in the last three years, has been actively working to increase other agency participation in the SAFE program and an available prior year Restricted SAFE Fund balance has allowed other agencies to request additional funding that is intended to support those agencies in their provision of services to further the mission of the SAFE program. This budget amendment makes available funding for various SAFE projects that, if expended, will be offset by use of the prior year fund balance.
