RECOMMENDED ACTION

to execute a grant award agreement with the California Office of Traffic
Safety, DUI Enforcement and Awareness Program (OTS).
2. Approve an appropriation adjustment accepting the California Office of
Traffic Safety, DUI Enforcement and Awareness Program Grant funds in the
amount of $216,583.00 into revenue account (no. 165-347-6141) and
appropriate same into the California Office of Traffic Safety, DUI
Enforcement and Awareness Program expenditure accounts (no. 165-01-5361).
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department has been awarded a $216,583.00 grant from the
State of California, Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) under the Traffic Safety, DUI
Enforcement and Awareness Program. This grant funding will allow the Police
Department to fund programs on an overtime basis which will reduce the number of
persons killed and injured in alcohol involved crashes. The funded strategies
include DUI/Driver's License checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols. This
program will also develop a "Hot Sheet" program and conduct "Stakeout" operations
for officers to concentrate on repeat DUI offenders on probation who have had
their license suspended or revoked. Court "sting" operations will focus on DUI
offenders with suspended or revoked driver licenses who get behind the wheel
after leaving court. Through warrant service details, the Police Department will
target repeat DUI violators who failed to appear in court or violate probation.
These strategies are also designed to earn media attention, resulting in an
overall enhanced deterrent effect.
