2001 Budget Analysis Office of Criminal Justice Planning (8100)
As a result, we recommend that the Legislature take no action until OCJP provides more detailed information on this proposal. In addition, we
recommend that in the event the Legislature approves these funds, it employ a competitive grant process and incorporate any future funding for local lab
construction into the state's existing capital outlay planning process pursuant to Chapter 606.
High Technology Crime Program Expansion Not Justified 
We recommend that the Legislature reduce the proposed augmentation of the High Technology Theft Apprehension and Prosecution Program by
$6.9 million because current baseline expenditures are sufficient to encourage and enhance local efforts in this area. In addition, we recommend approval
of $750,000 for the development of a high technology crime training course for law enforcement because it would be cost efficient to do so. (Reduce Item
8100-101-0001 by $6.9 million.)
Background. Chapter 906, Statutes of 1997 (SB 438, Johnston) established the High Technology Theft Apprehension and Prosecution Program (HTTAP) to
support regional task forces dedicated to the investigation and prosecution of high technology crimes. In addition, Chapter 906 established a steering committee,
which ultimately became the High Technology Crime Advisory Committee (HTCAC). This committee has members from 15 organizations representing law
enforcement and the high technology industry who oversee the HTTAP program. The 1998-99 Budget Act appropriated $1.25 million to OCJP to fund the
program. These initial funds were used to support three regional High Technology Task Forces (HTTF) covering the Sacramento Valley, the Silicon Valley, and
the Los Angeles/Orange County area, and to establish a high technology crime database at the DOJ. The 1999-00 Budget Act further provided $4.9 million to
add two additional task forces covering the San Diego/Riverside/Imperial Valley area, and the North Bay (Marin). In 2000-01 the program was funded at
$5.3 million, with $3.2 million from the General Fund and $2.1 million in federal funds.

2001 Budget Analysis: Department of Food and Agriculture (8570)
For example, an important function of the department is partnering with counties to prevent the introduction and
establishment of serious plant pests and diseases. The department, however, does not clearly lay out the responsibilities between the levels of government regarding these programs. Also, the
distinction between a control versus eradication program has important programmatic and budgetary implications. Typically, a control program is funded by the agricultural industry and
eradication by the General Fund. The industry directly benefits from both types of programs. In our Analysis we pointed out that the department needed to address the issue of appropriate cost
sharing between the state and industry for the various programs. In view of these issues, we recommended that the department initiate a statewide planning process. This process would begin
with identification of the state's goals and challenges with regard to these programs and result in a comprehensive statewide strategic plan.
The Legislature concurred with the need for a comprehensive plan and adopted supplemental report language directing the department to submit such a plan to the Legislature by March 1,
2001. The plan is to be a comprehensive statewide strategic plan for management and coordination of all invasive plant and pest prevention programs. In addition, in last year's budget
deliberations, the Legislature denied the department's request to make several programs permanent. Instead, the programs were continued for one year and subject to reevaluation in the
context of the new plan. The 2001-02 Governor's Budget is again proposing that the Legislature approve these as permanent programs as discussed below.
Medfly Preventative Release Program. The Governor's budget proposes $8.7 million from the General Fund and 138 positions to make this program permanent. The department began
efforts to control the impact of the Mediterranean Fruit Fly (Medfly) on California's agricultural industry in 1975. Since 1980, the state has spent around $130 million from the General Fund to
support this effort, with a similar amount provided by the federal government. The department has used aerial and ground spraying, and sterile Medfly releases to fight the pest.
The current program began in 1996 and involves raising sterile Medflies and releasing them throughout a 2,100 square mile area of the Los Angeles Basin.
Eleasa Kim: Pioneering CLDP Payload Operations and Cultural Integration - NASA
In her other previous roles, she most enjoyed learning about science experiments as a payloads planner and playing a critical role in their success. As a payload safety engineer for Artemis I, she loved being able to deep dive into complex and specific problems and learn about safety risk and probability. As the planning and analysis branch operations discipline lead at Marshall, Kim says she loved learning about analyzing performance metrics, reporting, and providing leadership to multiple teams. 
Kim emphasizes the importance of staying curious and adaptable, recognizing that each role and team presents unique cultural and technical challenges. She says, “When faced with a challenge, I can overcome a lot more than I think by asking myself, ‘How can I do this?’”

She has supported real-time mission operations, pre-mission planning, safety, engineering, and project management roles. “It takes time to get oriented each time I move into a team,” she said. “While challenging, it is also very exciting and motivating for me because I’m passionate about knowing people and learning new things.” 

Kim believes that NASA is actively driving change, emphasizing the importance of consistent communication from every individual. This approach, reminiscent of “boots on the ground,” is reshaping the agency’s culture from its foundation. “We can and are changing the culture from the bottom up, and NASA is providing the enabling function of management support,” she said. “We need to provide safe spaces for people to be vulnerable and help ensure everyone feels safe to contribute.”

Kim’s cultural heritage is rooted in South Korea, where her parents originated before emigrating to the United States. Raised in America, she has a profound appreciation for Korean culture, especially its cuisine, and enjoys cooking traditional meals and sharing them with friends and colleagues. 

Kim says she is most proud of being a mother of two kind, beautiful, sharp, strong-willed, and passionate girls.

Prepare BEFORE

Image
 

Stay alert. Always be aware of your environment and any possible dangers.If you see something, say something® to local authorities. That includes suspicious packages, people behaving strangely or someone using strange communications.Observe warning signs. Signs might include unusual or violent communications, substance abuse, expressed anger or intent to cause harm. These warning signs may increase over time.Have an exit plan. Identify exits and areas to hide wherever you go, including work, school and special events.Learn lifesaving skills. Take trainings such as You Are the Help Until Help Arrives and first aid to assist the wounded before help arrives.

Survive DURING: Run, Hide, Fight

Image
 

Run to Safety
Seek safety. Getting away from the attacker is the top priority.Leave your belongings behind and get away.Call 9-1-1 when you are safe and describe the attacker, location and weapons.
Cover and Hide
Cover and hide if you can’t evacuate. Find a place to hide out of view of the attacker and put a solid barrier between yourself and the threat if possible.Lock and block doors, close blinds and turn off lights.Keep silent.

Defend, Disrupt, Fight
Fight only as a last resort. When you can’t run or cover, attempt to disrupt the attack or disable the attacker.Be aggressive and commit to your actions.Recruit others to ambush the attacker with makeshift weapons such as chairs, fire extinguishers, scissors, books, etc.Be prepared to cause severe or lethal injury to the attacker.
Help the Wounded
Take care of yourself first and then, if you are able, help the wounded get to safety and provide immediate care. Call 9-1-1 when it is safe for you to do so.

Be Safe AFTER
When Law Enforcement Arrives

Remain calm and follow instructions.Keep hands visible and empty.Report to designated areas to provide information and get help.Follow law enforcement’s instructions and evacuate in the direction they tell you to go.
