This initiative was <br />designed to enhance the domestic preparedness of urban areas by ensuring that all emergency <br />first responders have adequate and appropriate equipment and training to prevent, respond to, <br />and recover from acts of terrorism. Santa Ana has been designated as an Urban Area Core City <br />since 2003. As such, for certain grant years, Santa Ana is responsible for purchasing equipment <br />and providing training for the 34 jurisdictions in Orange County. <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 has funded all phases of a Video Security /Surveillance system for the Civic Center and <br />Police Department within the City of Santa Ana. <br />The project began with the installation of a 48 camera video security system at Santa Ana Police <br />Department headquarters to harden and protect the perimeter of the facility. Phase I was <br />completed in early 2012. Phase II included the installation of approximately 57 cameras in and <br />around the OC Civic Center, creating a similar network to what exists at police headquarters. <br />Due to the City of Santa Ana being the County Seat, the buildings and entities in the Civic Center <br />are vital to the day -to -day operations of the City, County, State, and Federal governments. The <br />Ronald Regan Federal Courthouse, U.S. Marshalls and Customs, California Appellate Court, <br />Orange County Criminal Courts building, and the Santa Ana City Hall are all co- located within the <br />OC Civic Center. The cameras installed in this phase connect into the Police Department's <br />existing network, allowing for first -hand incident prevention, response, and management <br />capability. The system is very complex and uses state -of- the -art video management technology. <br />25F -1 <br />
