The grant specifically provides funding for anti -terror equipment, planning, training, <br />exercises and technical assistance. <br />In Fiscal Year 2006 the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) combined the <br />Anaheim UASI and the Santa Ana UASI into a single Urban Area, which mirrors the County of <br />Orange geographic footprint. The City of Santa Ana will continue to be designated as an Urban <br />Area Core City and will share grant administrative responsibilities with the City of Anaheim. The <br />City of Santa Ana Police Department has worked with the City of Anaheim, the County of <br />Orange, and cities within the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area to determine current capabilities <br />and needs, and have established goals and objectives for the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area. <br />The Police Department will work in collaboration with the City of Anaheim to develop projects <br />and implement complimentary strategies for responding to acts of terrorism. <br />55A-1 <br />
