FISCAL IMPACT:
No County costs are anticipated. The sponsorship will provide $35,000 in direct scholarships for non-
affiliatedBasic Academy students and, in addition, public promotion of Sheriff recruitment and training
activities at no cost to the County.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
Bay Alarm Company, Inc,, established in 1946, is the largest independently owned and operated alarm
company in the United States and is headquartered in Pacheco. Bay Alarm Company wishes to
provide sponsorship and promotional contributions to the Law Enforcement Training Center to include;
non-affiliated(not supported by a law enforcement agency) student scholarships, support for in-service
training courses, a recruiting billboard, direct mail, event support and media support during the contract
term.
Sheriff's Charities, Inc., is organized as a nonprofit public benefit corporation under the Corporations
Code of the State of California. It is recognized as holding charitable status pursuant to registration
under Internal Revenue Code§501(c)(3). Sheriff's Charities Articles and By-laws provide that it is
organized for the purpose of promoting and supporting law enforcement and will directly distribute
funds to the Sheriff's Office Enterprise Fund for the Law Enforcement Training Center.
Providing scholarships for non-affiliated students will reap a dual benefit for the Law Enforcement
Training Center and the citizen's of Contra Costa County; First, the cost of attending a basic academy
for a non-affiliated student is considerable. Not only does the LETC charge tuition to offset expenses,
but the student also must be self-supporting for a six-month period while they attend the academy full
time. Scholarships will Delp offset that expense and increase the number of students who are able to
receive this high quality training. Secondly, each non-affiliated student that we attract to a basic
academy allows the County to receive Full Time Equivalent Student (F.T.E.S.) payments from the
State. So, increasing the number of students in each class will increase the revenue that the County
receives.
In appreciation for the generous donation by Bay Alarm Company, we request that the Board of
Supervisors name one LETC classroom "The Bay Alarm Classroom" for the duration of the contract
period. Existing County policy provides guidance on the naming of a room within a County-owned
building to honor an individual's service to the community, which can be done by resolution of the
Board upon a four-fifths affirmative vote. County policy also provides guidance as to the naming of
County-owned facilities to honor community service, or donation of land or of funds to construct a
facility. Although not specifically addressed in current County policy, we recommend the naming of the
LETC classroom for Bay Alarm Company for a limited period in recognition of its donation of operations
funding, in the same spirit as current County policy.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION.
Failure to approve this agreement will negatively impact the law enforcement community. Bay Alarm
Company's sponsorship will advertise the need for recruits, promote awareness of the local availability
of courses and services, allow for the presentation of courses not currently funded, and provide full or
partial scholarships to qualified candidates who might otherwise not be able to attend the LETC.
