RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2016/377 authorizing the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) in an amount not to exceed $804,699 to fund the hiring of two Deputy Sheriff positions for street-level and school resource officer programs to address truancy and violence in middle and high schools in the West Contra Costa County for a three year period with an additional one-year retention period by the County.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Up to $804,699 in Federal revenue. The estimated total cost of adding two (2) Deputy Sheriff positions is $1,859,399 of which $604,164 is attributable to employer pension costs, for the 36 month grant period plus the additional 12 month retainment period (48 months total). This results in a net county cost/in-kind of $1,054,700. U.S. Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Hiring Grant (CFDA #16.710)

BACKGROUND:

The COPS Office was established as a result of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 to assist law enforcement agencies in enhancing public safety through the implementation of community policing strategies in jurisdiction.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

A decision not to pursue grant funding would result in lost funding for two (2) Deputy Sheriff positions.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

These positions will be utilized in street-level and school resource officer programs to address truancy and violence in middle and high schools in the west end region of Contra Costa County.
