Proposition 130 – Funding for Law Enforcement

NO POSITION

This initiative directs the state to spend $350 million to recruit, train, and retain local law enforcement officers and provides an additional benefit for families of officers killed in the line of duty. The measure does not create a new revenue source to fund this mandate.

CDP has not taken a position on this initiative because:

This measure is an unfunded mandate that doesn’t raise any revenue in our budget for law enforcement officers or agencies. Law enforcement officers and agencies deserve more than political tactics and messaging measures meant to create negative ads: they deserve dedicated sustainable funding sources that don’t result in possible cuts to other critical public services, such as K-12 education and crime prevention policies.
