Cost Savings Estimate - O2X Integrated Readiness Platform <br />Injury Risk Reduction Program: Santa Ana Police Department <br />From 2022 to 2024, the Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD) incurred $6.34 million in workers <br />compensation expenses, averaging approximately $2.11 million per year. <br />These costs, which exclude COVID related claims, are primarily attributed to injuries and conditions like <br />strains, sprains, hypertension, and elevated heart rate. While these types of injuries are common, without <br />targeted prevention strategies, they can lead to costly medical claims and reduced operational readiness. <br />SAPD Workers Compensation Trends (2022 - 2024) <br />YEAR # OF CLAIMS TOTAL PAID (Medical, Disability, Rehab) <br />2022 47 $1,584,581 <br />2023 55 $3,361,999 <br />2024 65 $1,391,705 <br />TOTAL 167 $6,338,285 <br />Additional Cost Considerations: <br />●Recruit Academy Attrition: Inadequate physical readiness was reported as the driving factor that <br />led to the recent dismissal of two recruits. This represents a lost investment of approximately <br />$150,00 per year (recruitment, academy prep, equipment, ammunition and training costs). <br />●Overtime Burden Due to Injuries: While specific overtime data was not provided to O2X, national <br />benchmarks indicate that officers placed on modified duty or unable to work often require backfill <br />through overtime, commonly exceeding $1,200 per week per officer. <br />Exhibit 2 <br />  <br />  <br />City Council 11 – 25 8/19/2025
