The vehicles are assigned to various <br />personnel based on need. <br />The 23 vehicles in the Police Department are assigned to background <br />investigators, others in the Personnel Division, staff assigned to <br />Training, and various division managers. Additionally, the Santa Ana <br />Police Department leases vehicles for the Special Investigations Division <br />surveillance program. Leasing a variety of vehicles allows them to be <br />interchanged, in order to maintain anonymity and safety of the police <br />officers. <br />The vehicles in the Fire Department are assigned to the three Deputy <br />Chiefs, the Fire Marshall and the Fire Suppression Captain. Providing <br />vehicles carrying emergency equipment ensures quick response by the Fire <br />personnel. The grant-funded Federal Empowerment Zone requires a vehicle to <br />administrate the program. <br />In addition, rental vehicles are used throughout the City on a daily and/or <br />weekly basis. <br />22A-1 <br />
