FISCAL YEAR 2011-2012 ADOPTED BUDGET

The adopted consolidated budget for Fiscal Year 2011-2012 is $5,289,000. The funding includes $2,771,000 from The Joint Resolution General Fund, $200,000 from Other Income and $2,318,000 from Revenues from Internal Sources.

Operational Expenses reflect a net reduction of $719,000 in comparison with the funding assigned for Fiscal Year 2010-2011. This reduction is due to a decrease in revenue from Internal Sources for services the Agency offers.

The funding from the Joint Resolution General Fund must provide enough funds to pay for operational expenses. In addition, the College must comply with the preparation and development of law enforcement agents and other law enforcement professionals in areas of safety and security.

Revenue is generated by offering training at the Puerto Rico Police Academy and the municipal police forces.
