The grant specifically provides funding for anti -terror equipment, planning, training, <br />exercises and technical assistance. <br />This project is for the procurement of one compact armored vehicle, which will enable the Santa <br />Ana Police Department SWAT team to respond to Complex Coordinated Attacks, Active Shooter <br />Events, Hazardous Materials Tactical Operations (HMTOC) and Weapons of Mass Destruction <br />(WMD) tactical situations within the Urban Area. It will enhance accessibility and armored vehicle <br />coverage in the region, as well as fulfill a large need for such vehicles in the event of civil unrest, <br />mutual aid assistance and/or multi -jurisdictional catastrophic incidents. The vehicle also has fire <br />mitigation capabilities enabling personnel to address burning property from a protected <br />environment. The fire mitigation capability is new to the Operational Area and is a capability <br />currently not possessed by the Santa Ana Police Department. The Homeland Security FY19 UASI <br />Grant Program will fund the purchase. <br />The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised on June 8, 2020, on the City's online bid management <br />and publication system.
