OBJECTIVES AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
1. In FY 1998-99, the Administrative Program will conduct one Louisiana State Police Cadet class.
1 A 100% graduation rate of cadets while desirable is seldom obtained due to the rigorous academic and physical standards of the Academy and various personal reasons for resignation from the Academy.
2 A 97-cadet class started in January 1998. Another cadet class with approximately 30 cadets will start in June 1998.
2. In FY 1998-99, the Administrative Program will conduct 40 in-service recertification courses for all required Louisiana State Police topics.
1 These recertification topics include, but are not limited to, breath analysis, firearms, first aid, defensive tactics, officer survival, radar and driver recertification.
3. In FY 1998-99, the Administrative Program will conduct a minimum of 165 police development courses.
1 These advanced and highly specialized courses enhance the overall professionalism of the Louisiana State Police, leading to more efficient use of existing manpower. These courses are offered to LSP and other local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.
RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR THE PROGRAM
This program is funded from self-generated revenue and federal funds. Self-generated revenue is derived by charging various agencies (including State Police) for use of the academy. The federal funds are from the United States Department of State for anti-terrorism training.
The total means of financing for this program is recommended at 95.9% of the existing operating budget. It represents 93.2% of the total request ($9,257,038) for this program. The deceased funding is primarily due to the removal of nonrecurring carryforwards and acquisitions.
