Attachment A City: Costa Mesa 2015 -DJ -BX -0226 The City of'Costa Mesa Proposes to use the 2015 Justice Assistance Grant Program,funding as follows: PURPOSE AREAS Planning, evaluation and technology improvement programs PROJECT NARRATIVE The Costa Mesa Police Department's proposed program activity is to maintain and further develop a recently implemented live streaming -video system, based out of the South Coast Plaza retail district. That project was funded with prior approved JAG funds. The implemented system enables live video - capture, of any activity within South Coast Plaza's two -block area, to be streamed to designated police cars' mobile data terminal screens. This facilitates reduced response times and improved coordination to high risk and terrorist type incidents, e.g. active shooter, armed take -over jewelry store robberies, etc. The previously implemented live -video streaming system is linked to any of over 200 remote CCTV cameras located throughout South Coast Plaza's properties. The Soutar Coast Plaza retail district, located at 3333 Bristol Street and 3333 Bear Street, have been designated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as the number 10 terrorist soft target among 600 designated terrorist targets throughout Orange County. A federal ACAMS (Automated Critical Asset Management Systems) assessment has been conducted at this site. With 25 million customers who frequent this location annually, SCP has been deemed by DHS as reasonably likely to experience a terrorist -type attack (active shooter, etc.). PROJECT GOALS The department's project goal is to fund required warranty and service to keep the live video streaming system operational. The live video streaming system's continued operation will enable its evaluation for further development. One such possible development, being considered, is to enable police officers working at the SCP police substation to be able to stream live video to responding police cars' MDT screens. Presently, the live video streaming system is operated by South Coast Plaza dispatch staff, who are able to assign any chosen camera (activity location) and stream live video to designated CMPD patrol car. PROJECT STRATEGIES To accomplish the department's 2015 JAG project goal, the agency will obtain quotes from vendors that can supply the identified service, technology and/or equipment needed, PROJECT IDENTIFIERS 1) Electronic Monitoring, 2) System Improvement BUDGET DETAIL AND NARRATIVE Preliminary quotes have been obtained for the department's proposed program.
