DISCUSSION A primary goal of the Police Department is to provide safety and security to all people in the city of Santa Ana. In fulfilling this goal, it is critical that the jail maintain an efficient system to book inmates to allow sworn police personnel to return to patrolling duties as quickly as possible. In 2006, the Police Department received a grant from the Department of Justice, Office Of Community Oriented Policing (COPS) to automate the Jail booking system. The grant, approved by Council on June 19, 2006, included the requirement to purchase a mobile booking van to ensure that police officers spend more of their time in the field and less time in the process of booking arrestees. The custom-built mobile booking unit will be deployed during major policing activities. It will be equipped with a booking area, three cells that can accommodate a total of 12 arrestees, and two curbside work stations. The discrete cells allow for the separation of adult male, adult female and juvenile arrestees. The notice inviting bids was advertised on December 28, 2007, and bids were solicited.
