Attachment A Grantee: City of Orange 2016-DJ-BX-0000 The grantee proposes to use the 2016 Justice Assistance Grant Program funding as follows. PURPOSE AREAS: The purpose area for use of funds is Law Enforcement. Over the years, the Orange Police Department SWAT Team realized, through training and operations, the need for equipment to enhance the observation ability of our members during the hours of darkness. Critical incidents and surveillance operations commonly occur at night making observation and intelligence gathering difficult. Long Rifle Unit members have related they are not able to identify subjects involved in critical incidents especially during night time trainings and operations with standard equipment. This hinders the abilities of the decision makers as they do not get exact intelligence. Being able to accurately describe involved persons, locations, and geographic areas is imperative for observers to provide accurate and real time intelligence to persons in charge of these operations. The timely identification of offenders and/or victims is critical intelligence that in some cases may save a life and ensure the right person is apprehended or rescued. By obtaining this high quality night vision optic for the Long Rifle Unit, it will enhance the response and operational capabilities of the department's resources and enhance night time observations. This will assist Long Rifle Unit members with surveillance and intelligence gathering giving those in command timely situational awareness. This intelligence is critical when trying to resolve incidents, arrest criminals, protect officers and the public. The acquisition of night vision optics allows for this capability. PROJECT GOALS To obtain the fourth generation night vision optic for any of our Long Rifle Unit members to attach to their rifle allowing them full view during night time operations. This hardware will allow for any of the unit members to utilize this capability allowing more situational awareness of an incident. PROJECT STRATEGIES The night vision optic will be used by the Orange Police Department Long Rifle Unit as a tactical observation tool to obtain timely, accurate and real time intelligence during agency operations, Equipment - Tactical Officer Safety Surveillance BUDGET DETAIL AND NARRATIVE JAG funds will be used to purchase a SPA Defense SXR Night Vision Optic device. • SPA Defense SXR Night Vision Optic $10,500 Sales Tax: $840 Total: $11,340 TIMELINE AND/OR PROJECT PLAN Once the funds are received and made available through the City's normal approval process, it is anticipated that product ordering, delivery, and setup would be complete within 4 weeks.
