DISCUSSION
The State of California, Office of Emergency Management Agency provides
grant funding to state law enforcement agencies through the California Gang
Reduction, Intervention and Prevention Program Fund (CAL GRIP). This
competi ti ve grant program is part of the State's commitment to combating
gang and youth violence and is awarded to cities and community-based
organizations with a heavy concentration of gangs.
The Santa Ana Police Department's Police Athletic and Acti vi ties League
(SAPAAL) in a collaborative effort with additional government agencies,
educational partners and community based groups , submitted and has been
awarded CAL GRIP grant funding. This funding will provide the SAPAAL and
its partners with the resources to enhance its established gang prevention
and intervention programs with the objective of increasing participation of
at-risk youth by as much as 20%. This two-year grant requires a 100% match
on the part of the City. The Police Departments in-kind match includes the
salary and benefits of one Police Officer, and a portion of the SAPAAL
Assistant Director position. Funds from this match requirement are
budgeted in the General Fund and the Police Criminal Activity Fund.
