Approval of the recommended actions will allow the transfer of funds from the SRF Orgs to reimburse the Sheriff-Coroner Org 3111 as follows:
• The California Multi-Jurisdictional Methamphetamine Enforcement Team (Cal-MMET) allocation is divided between the Fresno County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office at 93 percent and District Attorney’s Office at 7 percent. The Sheriff-Coroner’s allocation partially funds the salaries and benefits for eight Sheriff’s positions, including one Sergeant, six Deputies, and one Criminalist. The District Attorney’s portion partially funds one District Attorney position. Allocation from the War on Meth - Cal MMET Org 31180300 ($58,000) will partially fund salaries and benefits costs in the Sheriff Cal-MMET Unit.
• The COPS Front-line Services (Citizens Options for Public Safety) allocation from the ELEAS Org 31190100 ($143,000) will partially fund the Fresno County Sheriff-Coroner’s Helicopter Program. This includes costs associated with maintenance services and parts.
• The COPS Sheriff-Detention allocation from the COPS - Sheriff Detention Org 31190200 ($130,000) will partially fund the Fresno County Sheriff-Coroner’s Prisoner Transportation Unit which is comprised of three Deputy Sheriff positions.
