<br />In 1996, with funding from the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant program, the Newport <br />Beach Police Department established a Crime Prevention Specialist position. Funding for this <br />position from LLEBG had continued until 2004. The Justice Assistance Grant funding will <br />assist the Newport Beach Police Department in continuing to maintain the high level of crime <br />prevention that resulted from the establishment of the Crime Prevention Program under the <br />LLEBG program. <br /> <br />Goal: <br /> <br />The goal of the program is to maintain a highly visible program dedicated to 1) Preventing <br />Crime, 2) Disseminating correct and realistic information about criminal activity and crime <br />prevention, and 3) Enhancing the perception of security within the community. <br /> <br />Obiectives: <br /> <br />The goals will be accomplished by conducting neighborhood watch and crime prevention <br />meetings, and distributing community crime alert bulletins to keep the community informed of <br />current crime trends in an effort to better prepare the community to take crime prevention <br />measures. <br /> <br />Ouantifiable Performance Measures: <br /> <br />Conduct six Neighborhood Watch Meetings, Six Crime Prevention meetings and three <br />Community Crime Alert distributions to maintain open communication with the community, and <br />to gauge the progress and success of the program. <br /> <br />Fundinf!.: <br /> <br />PROACT allocation: $4,989.60 <br />Administration fee: $62.37 <br />City allocation: $7,422.03 <br /> <br />Orange City: <br /> <br />Problem Statement: <br /> <br />The Police Officer Standards and Training (POST) division for the State of California recognizes <br />Tactical Firearms as the number one perishable skill for police officers. <br /> <br />In 2000, the Orange Police Department purchased a FATS machine, which is an interactive <br />training simulator designed to teach officers when or when not to shoot. The FATS machine <br />offers interactive scenarios in which the officer is an actual participant in various high-risk <br />situations. Currently, the FATS machine is being underutilized due to the fact that the officers <br />have viewed and interacted all of the scenarios on the software we currently own.
