The Santa Ana Police Department recognizes that criminalization of homeless individuals is not the solution to this ever- growing problem. While enforcement is definitely needed to maintain public safety, cleanliness and order in the Civic Center and surrounding area, it must be coupled with alternatives that prevent the homeless person from having continuous contact with the police. Taking from HUD's Continuum of Care philosophy, the Santa Ana Police Department (specifically the Civic Center Detail) seeks to create a program that identifies and determines individual needs, partners with entities that provide assistance to the homeless population, and then unites the two, thereby providing a viable option for the homeless. This program sets its sight on self - sufficiency for those desiring to escape homelessness. The Santa Ana Police Department's Homeless Evaluation /Assessment Response Team (HEART) works to achieve the goal of establishing a program that provides long -term solutions beyond the short-term solutions offered through enforcement of laws and ordinances. This is accomplished by: • Identification of the homeless and understanding individual needs. • Identifying entities that can provide resources. • Creating partnerships and providing referrals. • Program maintenance and management. The Civic Center Detail implements this program several ways: the officers provide service to this area seven days a week; the officers have been trained to treat each person with the respect and dignity they deserve and, as such, have built a good rapport within the Civic Center; the officers have the opportunity to contact the non - profit organizations that currently provide services to the homeless population; and, lastly, many relationships with outside entities that provide services exist with the supervisors who oversee the Detail.
