employees' convenience. The system will also provide the avenue to publish public service announcements related to crime trends and other safety- related issues. Night Vision Rifle Scope: The cost of this equipment is $11,500.00. SWAT team is not currently equipped with night vision capability for the sniper /recon team. The lack of night vision capability increases the risk to both the officers and the public. This product will enhance our and the public's safety. EmeWencv Operations Center (EOC) Sound System: The cost of this equipment is approximately $8,250.00. In its current configuration, the EOC does not have a sound system for anyone addressing those working in the EOC during activation. It is difficult for those needing to address the room in a manner that can be easily heard and understood. This creates challenges for those trying to manage large -scale city emergencies. A sound system will enhance communication within the EOC. The EOC is also used for training and Police Department and community meetings. A sound system will significantly enhance its usefulness for these other activities as well. PROACT The department understands that its required allocation to PROACT is $12,504.00. We would like to allocate the remaining $12,536.00 of our JAG funds to PROACT in addition to the required $12,504.00, bringing our allocation to $25,040.00 for this worthwhile resource. Goal: With the exception of the additional PROACT allocation, the goal in all of these proposals is to enhance our economic efficiency and public service through new and innovative technology - related projects. These projects will improve the level of service provided by the department either through a more efficient use of resources or by enhancing safety. Ourgoal is to always provide the very best and most efficient law enforcement services to the citizens of Orange. Activities: (which can be started and completed expeditiously, and in a manner that maximizes job creation and economic benefits) In all of the projects outlined above, we have already researched appropriate vendors and equipment, decreasing the amount of time needed to begin the projects. Equipment items can be acquired relatively quickly and activities such as video training, PSAs and digital evidence storage can begin almost immediately after delivery. The EOC project will be put to use shortly after the equipment is delivered and installed for various meetings and training sessions with the public. The night vision equipment will be used in training once acquired and as needed thereafter. Quantifiable Performance Measures- (Established by the agency to assess whether grant objectives are being met) It is difficult to quantify the use of some of the products. The quantifiable measures for the Digital Information Management System will be the volume of evidence stored and its security. The EOC sound system can be measured in terms of the number of meetings, training sessions and activations in which the system is used. The video production project can be measured in two meaningful ways; the number of training classes and PSAs that are produced and the number of hours of training that is completed without the need of adjusting employee 2009- F1801 -CA -SB Page 45 of 61
