DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department has been awarded a $249,200.00 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 designed to earn media attention thus enhancing the
overall deterrent effect.
