Program Overview
The Law Enforcement program provides law enforcement, emergency communications, and School Resource Officers. Law enforcement services are provided by the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office, while communications services are provided by the Santa Clara County General Services Administration. Other services include general law enforcement (patrol), traffic enforcement and investigation, detective services, and additional resources from specialized units.
The State allocates the Citizens Option for Public Safety (COPS) grant to cities and counties for front-line law enforcement purposes. Funding is allocated proportionately based on population size with a minimum allocation of $100,000 per jurisdiction. This grant will be used to partially offset the cost of a second School Resource Officer that was added in the FY 2016-17 school year. Furthermore, the City receives an annual donation from Apple for enhanced law enforcement services (two additional deputies) available to the entire community. The donation is $1,046,814 for FY 2024-25.
Service Objectives
Protect life and property through innovative and progressive policing methods.
Respond to Priority 1 emergency situations within an average of fewer than five minutes.
Enforce the vehicle code with the goal of increasing traffic safety.
Divert first time/minor youth offenders from the juvenile justice system.
Provide daily on-site interaction with our youth.
Provide annual Teen Academy during summer months providing community engagement and an introduction to law enforcement for youth (budgeted in the Public Safety Commission).
Proposed Budget
It is recommended that City Council approve a budget of $18,648,806 for the Law Enforcement program. This represents an increase of $836,198 (4.7%) from the FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget.

This increase is due to an increased need for supplemental law enforcement services, which are offset by revenues from the requesting private entities.
The increase is also due to increases in Cost Allocation expenses.
Matrix Consulting Group updated the Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) based on a CAP study performed in 2023.
