<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ATTACHMENT A <br /> <br /> <br /> Santa Ana criminal street gang population of approximately 6,900 which accounts for less <br /> than two percent of the City's population, this criminal element constitutes a significant <br /> impact on fear in the community and threatens the safety and stability of our <br /> neighborhoods. It is our belief that Gangs in Santa Ana are responsible for a <br /> disproportionate amount of the crime being committed. Through the use of grant funding <br /> the City of Santa Ana will augment its Gang Enforcement Units, and Career Criminal Unit <br /> with suppression units working overtime to target enforcement of gang members and <br /> Career Criminals involved in violent behavior. The Department currently lacks the man <br /> power and fiscal resources to address this problem, these officers will be deployed directly <br /> into the neighborhoods being most affected by the current state of affairs and will be <br /> funded for the three year grant period. This funding will equate to 2,565 hours of <br /> additional law enforcement presence on our streets. <br /> The Santa Ana Police Department is additionally providing 10% of its allocated funds to <br /> Pro-Act Program in support of their operational needs. <br /> <br /> Goals of the PrOlect: <br /> <br /> The goal of these projects is to reduce criminal activity through enhanced enforcement efforts, <br /> increase public safety and equip frontline law enforcement with needed safety equipment. <br /> i <br /> Strategies to be used for project: <br /> <br /> The use of selective enforcement overtime coupled with crime analysis data allows resources to <br /> be specifically deployed in areas of increased criminal activity during time frames found to be <br /> most beneficial to project goals. <br /> • Contact gang members and Career Criminals to gain intelligence and investigative <br /> information for prosecutorial purposes <br /> • Increase the number of arrest and prosecution of gang members and Career Criminals <br /> • Reduce the fear gang members and Career Criminals evoke in the community through I <br /> high visibility police presence and enforcement activates. <br /> <br /> <br /> Budget Narrative: Include breakdown for Personnel, travel, equipment, supplies, <br /> consultants/contracts, other costs, etc. <br /> <br /> Funds will be utilized for personnel overtime and frontline law enforcement safety equipment. <br /> No funds are allocated for travel, supplies, consultant / contracts, etc... <br /> All funds, except those allocated to PROACT, will be utilized in support of frontline law <br /> enforcement efforts only. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 2010- DJ-BX-0324 Page 27 of 34 <br /> <br /> 20B-7 <br />
