This initiative was designed to enhance <br />the domestic preparedness of urban areas by ensuring that all emergency first responders have <br />adequate and appropriate equipment and training to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts <br />of terrorism. <br />The US Department of Homeland Security has identified Critical Infrastructure & Key Resources <br />(CIKR) protection as a priority for state and local jurisdictions. The Anaheim /Santa Ana Urban <br />Area funded a video security /surveillance system for the Civic Center and Police Department <br />within the City of Santa Ana. This system includes 48 cameras located at the Police /Jail facility <br />and 35 cameras in the Civic Center area. The Civic Center system includes video feeds located <br />on federal, state, county, and City facilities. The Police Department is currently working with other <br />City staff to incorporate feeds from other City cameras, including cameras located at the Santa <br />Ana Regional Transportation Center, the Corporate Yard, the Main Library, and the Garfield <br />Learning Center. The system is very scalable and the Police Department is working on <br />incorporating feeds from other high priority locations throughout the City. <br />25B -1 <br />
