DISCUSSION
On August 16, 2004, the City Council accepted a $15 million Urban Area
Security Initiative grant from the federal Department of Homeland
Security, through the State of California, Office of Homeland Security.
This initiative was designed to enhance the domestic preparedness of
urban areas by ensuring that all emergency first responders have
adequate equipment and systems to prevent, respond to and recover from
acts of terrorism. The grant provides total reimbursement to local
agencies for equipment purchases approved and authorized by the Office
of Disaster Preparedness.
The Police Department requires a tow vehicle that will be used to move
the Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) equipment trailers. The tow
vehicle will be equipped with emergency response equipment, red lights
and siren, allowing it to respond to a WMD event or a terrorist
incident occurring within the Santa Ana Urban area.
