of $188 million in LSPA revenues will be available for purposes of the Citizens’ Option for

Pursuant to Government Code Section 30061, it is anticipated that the COPS and JJCPA
programs will each receive $94 million. Cupertino’s share for 2010-11 is $100,000.
Cities are required to appropriate COPS revenues to fund front line municipal police services.
This can include anti-gang and community crime prevention programs. The funds are to be

has requested that the $100,000 be used to partially fund a second School Resource Officer for
the 2010-11 school year. The Fremont Union High School District and Cupertino Union School
District have each contributed $10,000 to cover the remaining expense for the second officer for
the 2010-11 fiscal year.
