File Number: 18-535 <br />Supplies/Equipment Funding <br />1.$25,000 to purchase Patrol equipment and supplies, like vehicle immobilization <br />equipment--“stop stick” devices--to better equip trained police officers; <br />2.$30,000 for replacement of equipment for the department’s Hostage Negotiation Team <br />(HNT) that has reached the end of its useful life, like telephonic and technical equipment <br />used to dialogue with barricaded subjects; <br />$55,000 Supplies and Equipment appropriations requested <br />Analysis <br />This appropriation of funds will supply sworn police officers with the equipment, supplies, and <br />services necessary for advancing public safety in San Leandro. They are not currently budgeted <br />in the General Fund operating budget of the Police Department in Fiscal Year 2018-19. <br />The Police Department recognizes the need for officer mental and physical wellness. The <br />department has 12% of its sworn workforce currently on a worker’s compensation related injury. <br />Such injuries directly impact staffing and service delivery levels. Police Administration believes <br />continuing its wellness program designed specifically to address these types of job-related <br />injuries will continue to foster: 1) proactive injury prevention and education; and 2) positive <br />impacts on officer morale. The department also intends to send three officers to a conference <br />focused on wellness and job-related trauma for frontline officer personnel. The staff attending the <br />conference will bring the lessons learned back with them to further the CISM team’s knowledge <br />when dealing with the stress of critical events. <br />Not funding these projects will jeopardize operational continuity for the Police Department and <br />place a burden on the General Fund this budget cycle and the next. <br />Fiscal Impact and Budget Authority <br />There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund with this request. These are restricted funds with <br />specific legal requirements for appropriation. The Police Department is required to spend the <br />money in a way that advances public safety. These projects all comply with that funding <br />requirement. <br />The Police Department requests a total appropriation of $93,000 from SLESF (“Frontline”) Fund <br />Balance into the following accounts: <br />1.$25,000 into account #150-21-011-5120 (wellness programming); <br />2.$13,000 into account #150-21-011-5510 (CISM; Cal-Chief’s SMIP); <br />3.$25,000 into account #150-21-011-6272 (Patrol equipment); <br />4.$30,000 into account #150-21-011-7410 (HNT); <br />This appropriation will provide the Police Department with the funding needed to complete these <br />projects as planned in Fiscal Year 2018-19. <br />PREPARED BY: Scott Koll, Police Business Manager <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 11/13/2018
