DISCUSSION In 2010, the City of Santa contracted with Siemens, Inc. to design and build a complete video security system for the Police Administration Building and the Orange County Civic Center. The Orange County Civic Center is located in the center of Santa Ana (County Seat) and houses key federal, state, county, and local governmental facilities. After conducting a comprehensive site vulnerability assessment, a gap in the protection capabilities of the Historic Downtown District and Police Detention Facility was identified, and funds were used to enhance the physical security of both areas. The current integrated video security system provides law enforcement and agencies at all levels of government the ability to maintain real-time situational awareness within the area, and increases their capability to support investigations through the review of stored video. Currently, there are 417 cameras, including seven Code Blue Help Points, comprising the City's system. This includes cameras in the following locations: Police Administration Building, Civic Center, Historic Downtown District, Police Detention Facility, Main Library, the Garfield Community Center, Roosevelt Walker Community Center, Madison Park, Chepas Park, Santa Anita Park, Windsor Park, Memorial Park, and Jerome Park. The existing system is an over -arching network of camera and software subsystems that are federated. This means that though they each have some autonomy, they are all connected to the Police Department's dedicated data center, which houses the main control servers. All were installed, designed, and configured by Siemens' Infrastructure & Cities team. The overall system has demonstrated its value repeatedly in pro- active policing efforts, criminal and administrative investigations, and within the court system. 25C-1
