Community Policing and Strengthen Technological Infrastructure to Enhance Law Enforcement under the Public Safety Policy Area are adopted policy items contained in the FY 2025-27 City Council Priority Workplan, effective April 7, 2025.
BACKGROUND
Funding Source
The Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Grant is a mandated grant as defined by Government Code Section 30061(b)(3)(i) wherein the County is required to remit a minimum of $100,000 annually to the City to be spent on frontline law enforcement. These grant revenues have accumulated and are available for appropriation by the City Council.
Following appropriation of funds by the City Council for eligible frontline law enforcement purposes, any expenditures must comply with the City's purchasing policy.
Virtual Reality Training
Law enforcement virtual reality (VR) training provides an innovative and immersive approach to enhancing officer preparedness, decision-making, and communication skills in a controlled and realistic environment. Through advanced simulation technology, officers can safely experience and respond to a wide range of real-world scenarios- from crisis intervention and de-escalation to tactical/critical incident management. This form of training allows for immediate feedback and scenario repetition, helping officers refine their judgement and responses without the risks associated with live training exercises.
