Under the stated <br />contract, the Santa Ana Police Department leases vehicles for various personnel based on need <br />for field assignments. Leasing a variety of vehicles allows for interchangeability in order to <br />maintain anonymity and provide safety for police officers. The current contract allows for a total of <br />32 leased vehicles, 16 assigned to the Special Investigations Division and 16 vehicles are leased <br />and assigned to background investigators, police commanders and various staff assigned to <br />Training, Internal Affairs and the Personnel Division. <br />On November 4, 2014, Santa Ana voters passed a proposition regulating the operations of <br />sanctioned medical marijuana dispensaries. The regulations will require inspections of the <br />sanctioned businesses for compliance with the newly established ordinance. City staff will also <br />be required to aggressively investigate complaints related to illegal dispensaries. The Police <br />Department has established a task force to work in collaboration with other City Departments that <br />will act as the primary enforcement arm to address this necessity. The Police Department Task <br />Force members consist of five police detectives and one detective sergeant. The nature of this <br />assignment will require undercover operations and surveillance activities on a routine basis. <br />Therefore, assigning undercover leased vehicles for task force members to drive will ensure their <br />safety, as well as the effectiveness of their enforcement and monitoring activities. <br />22C -1 <br />
