Seventy-five percent (75%) of the COPS Option funds are allocated to local police and sheriffs departments based on the most recent January population estimates by the Department of Finance. In FY 04/05, the Police Department's share of the $75 million is $288,220. This amount is $918 less than the $289,138 allocated in FY 03/04.

FY 04/05 grant funding will be used for the same programs funded with the FY 03/04 COPS Option allocation. . Approximately 67.8% of the salary and benefits for four (4) police officer positions (existing & filled). . The local $16,988 (10.0%) cash match for the FY 04/05 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant.
