<br />. <br /> <br />NEW MISCELLANEOUS FEES <br /> <br />POLICE DEPARTMENT <br /> <br />1) Firearms Examination Service Fee - Outside Agencies <br /> <br />Proposed Fee(s): Based upon a $90.00 per hour fee structure. <br />Basic Function Exam Per Firearm <br />Full Function Exam Per Firearm <br />Examination and Comparison <br />Examination and Comparison Per Major Crime <br />(6 hour minimum, $90 per hour thereafter) <br />Entry into Ballistic Database (IBIS) <br /> <br />$30.00 <br />$180.00 <br />$270.00 <br /> <br />$540.00 <br />No charge <br /> <br />Department: <br /> <br />Forensic Services <br /> <br />The Forensic Section's Firearms Unit is dedicated to evaluating firearms and firearms- <br />related evidence seized during criminal incidents within the City of Santa Ana. Over the <br />past several months the Firearms Unit has seen an increase in requests for evidence <br />analysis from outside local, state, and federal agencies. These agencies rely upon various <br />county (sheriffs department), state (Department of Justice), and federal (FBI) labs to <br />complete these examinations. Unfortunately, the time from evidence submission to <br />examination completion for theses labs ranges from months to years. Consequently, the <br />Santa Ana PD Firearms Unit has offered its services and has assisted many of these <br />agencies on a mutual aid basis, (including FBI, Oxnard PD, Hawthorne PD, Simi Valley <br />PD, Orange PD, Tustin PD, and Ventura PD), completing thorough evidence exams in a <br />more timely fashion. Due to the increase in requests and to recover personnel and other <br />operational costs for this aid, the Firearms Unit proposes these fees be applied to outside <br />agency requests. <br /> <br />2) Storage of Weapon Fee <br /> <br />Proposed Fee(s): <br /> <br />$100 Per Stored Weapon (when released pursuant to a <br />Relinquishment Order for surrender of the firearm(s) per Family <br />Code 96218) <br /> <br />75A-2 <br /> <br /> <br />Department: <br /> <br />Property & Evidence <br /> <br />The Police Department accepts and stores surrendered firearms that are relinquished via a <br />restraining order pursuant to Family Code 96218. This fee will recover a portion of the <br />costs incurred by the Police Department for time spent and various other costs associated <br />with the storage of each firearm. <br /> <br />- <br />
