Budget Highlights |
The Office of Public Security (OPS) is responsible for the development and implementation of a statewide counter- terrorism strategy. Originally established by Executive Order following the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, OPS is charged with creating coordinated strategies to detect, prevent and respond to terrorist threats or future incidents of domestic terrorism. The Office directs public security matters among relevant State and local agencies and also works to coordinate strategies with the Federal Department of Homeland Security and offices with homeland security responsibilities in other states. |
The Cyber Security and Critical Infrastructure Coordination Program (CSCIC) assesses the security and disaster- readiness of the State’s data and communication systems. CSCIC is also charged with the task of eliminating redundancies between the private sector and State/Federal government initiatives in relation to secure communication networks. CSCIC has the responsibility of collecting geographic data for various State agencies including the Department of Transportation. |
This agency is included in the Public Protection and General Government appropriation bill. |
State Operations |
The Executive proposes a $14,876,000 All Funds State Operations appropriation for State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2004-05 which represents a $2,960,000, or 24.8 percent increase over SFY 2003-04. This increase is entirely supported by Special Revenue Funds. The Executive requests no change in the SFY 2003-04 funding level provided for the administration of OPS, but proposes increased support for the operations of CSCIC, through the following proposals: |
|
The Executive proposes that revenues to support cyber upgrades be generated through assessments imposed when entities request access to certain geographic data. The cost of cyber upgrades will also be supported through assessments on consultation services provided by CSCIC related to enhancing mapping services. The Executive proposal provides that the power security initiative will be supported by utility assessments generated pursuant to Section 18-a of the Public Service Law. |
The Office of Public Security will be comprised of a staff of 73 in SFY 2004-05, which reflects an increase of 6 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) positions to work with CSCIC. The Cyber Security and Critical Infrastructure Coordination Program will have a total of 48 FTEs in 2004-05 while the OPS’ Administrative staffing level will remain at 25 FTEs. |
