PROGRAM DESCRIPTION <br /> The Anti-Gang Initiative funding to support new and expanded anti-gang prevention and enforcement efforts under <br /> the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Initiative. This initiative is authorized by H, Rept. 2862, <br />8. PROBLEM STATEMENT <br />Santa Ana's Safety Zone, defined geographically as an approximate 3/4 square mile area of the city, is home to one <br />of the most active and violent gangs in the entire city. The "Santa Nita" gang, with documented membership of 247 <br />individuals, is responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime within the neighborhood, In 2005, there was 1 <br />homicide, 29 robberies, 82 assaults, 23 weapons violations, etc, within the Safety Zone area, In 2006, an injunction <br />against members of the "Santa Nita" Gang was granted by the courts to combat the crimes committed by these <br />members in this area. In order to effectively continue the enforcement of the injunction in the Safety Zone by the <br />Santa Ana Police Department and the Orange County District Attorney's Office, additional funding is necessary. At <br />this time, this additional funding is not available within the local jurisdiction, <br />9. OBJECTIVES <br />The main goal of the project is to allow the citizens that live and work in the Safety Zone to be free from the threat of <br />gang activity that interferes with their comfort and enjoyment of life. We propose to achieve this goal during the grant <br />period by focusing our efforts on the following: <br /> 1. Reducing Part I UCR crimes by 25%; <br /> 2. Reducing gang nuisance activity in the Safety Zone by 25%; <br /> 3, Reducing overall crime in the Safety Zone by 25%; <br /> 4, Prosecuting gang members who violate the Safety Zone Injunction, <br /> <br />Project Summary - OES 227 (Revised 1/2/2007) <br />
