DISCUSSION
The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) developed the Urban Areas Security
Initiative funding program (UASI), which provides funds to local emergency first responders to
enhance security and overall preparedness to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of
terrorism. The grant specifically provides funding for anti -terror equipment, planning, training,
exercises and technical assistance.
In FY 2006 the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) combined the Anaheim
UASI and the Santa Ana UASI into a single Urban Area. The City of Santa Ana will continue to
be designated as an Urban Area Core City and will share grant administrative responsibilities
with the City of Anaheim. The City of Santa Ana Police Department has worked with the City of
Anaheim, the County of Orange, and cities within the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area to
determine current capabilities and needs, and have established goals and objectives for the
Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area. The Police Department will work in collaboration with the City
of Anaheim to develop projects and implement complimentary strategies for responding to acts of
terrorism.
In October of 2017, the City of Santa Ana was awarded $4,644,000 in UASI grant funds. In July
2018, the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CaIOES) identified the City of
Santa Ana to receive FY2017 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funds in the amount
$415,000 for use in supporting the Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center (OCIAC).
The OCIAC is one of the 79 fusion centers across the nation that are responsible for providing an
integrated, multidiscipline information and intelligence sharing network to collect, analyze, and
