DISCUSSION The United States Department of Homeland Security, Office of Grants and Training has developed the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) funding program. This initiative was designed to enhance the domestic preparedness of urban areas by ensuring that all emergency first responders have adequate and appropriate equipment and training to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. Santa Ana has been designated as an Urban Area Core City since 2003. As such, for certain grant years, Santa Ana is responsible for purchasing equipment and providing training for the 34 jurisdictions in Orange County. The US Department of Homeland Security has identified Critical Infrastructure & Key Resources (CIKR) protection as a priority for state and local jurisdictions. The Anaheim /Santa Ana Urban Area has funded all phases of a Video Security /Surveillance system for the Civic Center and Police Department within the City of Santa Ana. The project began with the installation of a video camera system at police headquarters to harden and protect the perimeter of the facility. Phase I was completed in early 2012. Phase II included the installation of 48 cameras in and around the OC Civic Center, creating a similar network to what exists at police headquarters. Due to the City of Santa Ana being the County Seat, the buildings and agencies in the Civic Center are vital to the day -to -day operations of the City, State, and Federal governments. The Ronald Regan Federal Courthouse, U.S. Marshalls and Customs office, California Appellate Court, Orange County Criminal Courts building, and the Santa Ana City Hall are all located within the OC Civic Center. 25G -1
