TO: City Council
FROM: Police Chief
SUBJECT: Amend the 2002-2003 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG)
RECOMMENDATION:
Amend the 2002-2003 LLEBG by making the following modifications: delete the Portable Live Scan
Fingerprint System and the Vehicle Mounted Video Cameras, and substitute range ammunition,
taser less-lethal weapons, gas masks, pepper spray, digital Cameras, badges, leg restraints and

BACKGROUND:
On October 2, 2002, the City Council accepted $117,125 from The Federal Bureau of Justice
Assistance (BJA) in the form of the 2002-2003 LLEBG. These funds were earmarked for the
purchase of a Portable Live Scan Fingerprint System, to lease Mobile Data Computers, and to
purchase Vehicle Mounted Video Cameras. The grant required local matching funds of $13,014,
for a total award of$130,139.
Since that time, the Police Department arranged to have a Portable Live Scan Fingerprint System
assigned to the Parks and Recreation Department from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department
at no cost. In addition, a separate grant from the State Office of Traffic Safety funded the Vehicle
Mounted Video Cameras. To date, $26,619 of the LLEBG grant funds have been expended or
encumbered for the Mobile Data Computers, and for maintenance and modifications to that
system. A balance of $103,520 remains in the grant. By agreement, these funds must be
expended or encumbered by October 30, 2004.
Police Department equipment and services needs have changed since the 2002-2003 LLEBG
application was submitted. The Department is requesting Council approval to amend the
expenditures by deleting the Portable Live Scan Fingerprint System and the Vehicle Mounted
Video Cameras, and by substituting Range ammunition, taser less-lethal weapons, gas masks,
pepper spray, digital Cameras, badges, leg restraints and crime analysis research.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None. No additional budget appropriation is necessary.
