The DEFY Program, a Department of Justice, Weed & Seed <br />Grant Program, is a five-day summer camp designed to strengthen the <br />protective factors that increase the likelihood that youth will lêad <br />healthy, drug-free lives. <br /> <br />As part of the Weed & Seed Grant Program, the Police Department has <br />partnered with the United States Department of Defense (DaD) to facilitate <br />and fund the DEFY Camps.

The total cost for the Police <br />Department to operate the DEFY Camp for this year is $18,104, and of that <br />program cost Santa Ana Weed & Seed grant budget covers $5,834.
