The <br />grant funding allows the Police Department's Traffic Division to deploy a <br />mobile Driving Under the Influence (DUI) education and driving simulation <br />classroom custom designed fifth-wheel trailer. The trailer will be taken <br />to Santa Ana high schools, colleges, and other venues with the goal of <br />providing an educational program to students ages 15-22. The DUI mobile <br />classroom will showcase an externally projected wide-screen presentation of <br />a professionally produced video, and feature contemporary music and content <br />designed to appeal to the younger driver. The objective of the grant <br />program is to draw a correlation between the decision to drive while <br />intoxicated and the unanticipated outcomes, which may be arrest, or <br />collision resulting in injury or death. <br /> <br />JBM Sport Truck Accessories, a prominent local business leader desires to <br />contribute to the community and support law enforcement by donating and <br />installing $5,000 worth of vehicle equipment upgrades to the Police <br />Department's Ford F-250 Super Duty truck which is used to pull the DUI <br />education and driving simulation classroom fifth-wheel trailer.
