RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No. 5033 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $19,500 in the Office of the Sheriff (0255) and appropriating it for the purchase of 700 Hornady Tri-Point Lock Box Gun Safes for the Sheriff's Law Enforcement Training Center.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases revenue and appropriations by $19,500 with no change in net county cost. The new revenue is from the Sheriff Narcotic Forfeiture Fund (0253).

BACKGROUND:

Asset Forfeiture Funds are equitably shared funds which can be used by law enforcement agencies for law enforcement purposes. This includes the costs associated with the purchase, lease, maintenance or operation of law enforcement equipment for use by law enforcement personnel that supports law enforcement activities.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 26, 2016, the California State Legislator and Governor signed Senate Bill No. 869 into law. The law addresses and provides specific direction regarding the securing of handguns in vehicles. As an agency, since we issue handguns to our sworn personnel, they will now be required to secure their firearms in a locked container and place the locked container in the trunk or out of plain view if they leave their firearm unattended in their vehicle. Failure to follow the new law is now a crime (infraction) and is punishable by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars. The Office of the Sheriff researched the available products and narrowed them down to the top two. The Hornady Tri-Point Lockbox/gun safe was selected. The purchase of the 700 units will facilitate the issuance of one to each member of the organization who is issued a firearm. The lock boxes are serialized and will be inventoried and issued to specified personnel. The units will remain the property of the Office of the Sheriff and will be collected upon separation from service and reissued.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The new estimated revenue will not be appropriated for use by the Office of the Sheriff's Training Unit.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
