The grant provides total reimbursement to local agencies for <br />equipment purchases approved and authorized by the Office of Disaster <br />Preparedness. <br />The Santa Ana Police Department evaluated security measures relating to <br />protecting the Police Administration facility from terrorist threat and <br />determined that installing security bollards in front of the Santa Ana <br />Police Department building is the best solution to increase standoff <br />distance, mitigating the damage from a vehicle-borne explosive device. <br />The required security bollards are shallow mounted, Department of State <br />(DOS) K4-rated, and designed for an urban setting installation. RSA <br />Protective Technologies, LLC is the only supplier who can provide an off- <br />site engineered shallow mounted bollard system that is DOS crash tested and <br />certified for a minimum of three (3} years upon installation and <br />acceptance. In order to enhance protection and mitigation capabilities of <br />the Santa Ana Police Department building in the event of an act of <br />terrorism, staff recommends Council approval of the recommended action. <br />22J-1 <br />
