Set Public Hearing For_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Award a contract to Mallory Safety & Supply Company for training room technology upgrades for the <br />police department in an amount not to exceed $163,000. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Santa Ana Police Department Continuous Professional Training program provides in-house <br />classroom instruction in the Police Department Administration Facility, along with drills in the <br />community for the 339 sworn officers. The training facility also serves as the Police Department <br />Operations Center (DOC) and as such, is utilized to manage and direct resources during emerging <br />planned and unplanned events in the city. Additionally, the five classrooms can accommodate <br />multiple classes held concurrently, and rooms can be combined for instruction to larger audiences. <br />The facility's capacity, its central location, and in-house Cafe position it as the preferred location to <br />provide courses to regional groups, including the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area Security Initiative <br />(UASI) Training and Exercise program. UASI classes are attended by a cross-section of the first <br />responder community, including representatives of Law/Fire agencies, the military, the FBI, the <br />Department of Homeland Security, and the California Emergency Management Agency. UASI <br />classes are conducted in one to five day sessions and have a typical attendance of 40 to 50 students. <br />Annually, approximately 2500 to 3000 students attend training in the facility. The large volume of <br />classes and DOC operations has taxed the technical capacity of the classrooms. The 15-year old <br />equipment has exceeded the standard 5-year life expectancy. Replacement of PowerPoint <br />projectors, screens, DVD players, and audio equipment will modernize the equipment utilized and <br />enhance the learning experience of participants. <br />22C-1
