            Fund Utilization
            Allowable CCPD expenses include: CCPD program administration, treatment and preventative programs,
            court and prosecution services, community related crime prevention, and police and law enforcement
            related programs.

            Today, the primary use of the fund is to pay for School Resource Officers at Southlake schools, as well as
            for needed materials and equipment for the Police Department. The use of the CCPD allowed the City of
            Southlake to fund major initiatives to improve the safety and security in Southlake, including:

            -   DPS West Facility: The DPS West facility opened in March 2002 and was funded with $4 million of
              CCPD monies. In 2018, the district funded another $2.2 million for the reconfiguration of the facility.
              This facility provides quick access to homes and businesses on the west side of Southlake.

            -   DPS Headquarters: DPS Headquarters was dedicated on January 8, 2010, after nearly two years
              of construction, and was funded with $30 million of CCPD funding. The 80,000 plus square-foot
              structure was customized to accommodate both the current and future needs of the community.

            -   DPS North Station: The DPS North station is strategically positioned to serve the northern parts of the
              city faster, which results in saving lives and property. Additionally, the state-of-the-art facility includes
              an indoor gun range, 112 seat auditorium for training, and fire station. The CCPD revenue allowed the
              City to pay for the $16.7 million facility in 50% cash and pay the remainder with four-year bonds.

            -   Other  safety programs  and  initiatives,  including  the  enhanced  School  Resource  Officer  program,
              continuation of the K-9 program, and the implementation of body-worn cameras.
