The Finance Administration Division of the Police Department is responsible for overseeing the department’s financial operations and ensuring fiscal accountability across all units. The division manages an annual budget of approximately $58 million, supporting personnel, equipment, training, and operational needs essential to public safety.
In addition to budget oversight, Finance Administration handles all fiscal contracts for the department. This includes procurement processes, vendor agreements, and contract compliance, ensuring that all expenditures align with regulatory requirements and organizational priorities.
The division is also responsible for identifying, securing, and managing grant funding to support departmental initiatives. This includes researching funding opportunities, preparing and submitting grant applications, and ensuring compliance with reporting and spending requirements.
Finance Administration also oversees the department’s Residential and Commercial Alarm Permit Program, which serves residents and businesses operating burglar alarm systems within city limits. Alarm users are required to register their systems through the department’s alarm registration portal, providing property details, emergency contact information, monitoring company data, and payment of the applicable permit fee.
Through careful financial planning, transparent reporting, and effective program management, the Finance Administration Division supports the department’s mission while maintaining efficiency, accountability, and public trust.
