Community Racial Profiling Commission

In July 2000, the Sacramento Police Department undertook a comprehensive study of traffic stops to address perceptions of racial profiling. In March 2004, City Council approved the establishment of a formal advisory commission that would provide the City with a greater opportunity to be inclusive and allow for equitable representation, accountability, and reporting from Sacramento residents in this issue of national importance. In November 2004, City Council confirmed fifteen members of the Community Racial Profiling Commission. The Commission held its first meeting in January 2005.

Budget

One of the most important documents of any municipality is the annual city budget. It establishes how public funding will be spent and outlines the spending priorities for the future fiscal year (begins on July 1st and ends on June 30th of the current year). Costs for everyday services, such as police patrol, are itemized in the budget.

The largest fund in the City is the General Fund. The General Fund is supported by taxes and fees and generally has no funding restrictions. Police services are paid for out of the General Fund.

FY09/10 Proposed Total City Budget: $875.1 million

FY09/10 Proposed General Fund City Budget: $385.9 million

FY09/10 Proposed Police Department Budget:

	General Fund Other Sources Total:	$129,801,652 $480,000 $130,281,652
