DISCUSSION
The 2010 Recovery Act Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program is the
primary provider of federal criminal justice funding to state and local jurisdictions. It is a formula grant
that blends the previous Byrne Formula and Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) programs.
JAG requires a single unit of county government to function as the applicant/fiscal agent to apply for,
receive, and administer the funds on behalf of the entire county. A memorandum of understanding
designated the County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner Department as the lead agency for this program.
For FY 2010, $205,899 has been allocated for Santa Ana. The City agreed to allocate 10 percent of
the total funding, or $20,590, to the Orange County Pro-Active Methamphetamine Laboratory
Investigative Team to supplement their resources. JAG also allows the fiscal agent for each county
to use a portion of the award for costs associated with administering the funds. The Orange County
Sheriff-Coroner Department will retain $18,531 (9.0 percent) for administrative fees. The remainder
of the funds in the amount of $166,778 will be utilized by the Police Department for Gang and CCU
overtime front line enforcement programs.

RE: 2010 Justice Assistance Grant Fund Distribution Agreement
Chief Walters.
As you kno«, the 2010 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program (JAG), requires a single
unit of county government to function as the applicant/fiscal agent to apply for, receive and administer the
funds on behalf of all sub-grantees eligible to receive funds.
The County of Orange designated its Sheriffs Department to act as the applicant/fiscal agent for the JAG. In
order to satisfy a JAG program requirement, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed by all
eligible sub-grantees acknowledging the Sheriffs Department as the single applicant/fiscal agent for the JAG
funds.
The 2010 JAG application was completed and the county is awaiting the transfer of funds, which will be
deposited into a trust account as required by law. To legally distribute these federal funds, the County of
Orange is required to utilize a formal distribution method to reimburse the local agencies for their
expenditures and for transfers of funds to the County Methamphetamine Task Force.
The attached documents outline the financial and programmatic reporting procedures for the 2010 JAG
program. Please obtain formal City Council approval for the attached document titled "2010 JAG
Agreement to transfer funds" and return two original hard copies with the City Clerk and City Council
signatures to me no later than January 6, 2011, keep one original for your records. No reimbursements
will be authorized until recipients submit the distribution document described above.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding these requirements. Thank you for your prompt
attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Susie Cabrera, Administrative Manager/Grants

Santa Ana City:
The City of Santa Ana proposes to use the 2010 Justice Assistance Grant funding as
follows:
The City of Santa Ana is the county seat and the largest and most densely populated
municipality in Orange County. Its residents are overwhelmingly Latino and its population
is the youngest of any city of its size in the nation with a median average age of 26.1 years.
Census data reports 14.1% of all families and 16.5% of all individuals are at or below the
poverty level as compared to the national averages of 9.8% and 1.3.3%. The housing
foreclosure rate is 6.52%, compared to the national average of 1.84% and the State of
California's Average of 3.47%. Unemployment in January 2008 was 7.2%, and in January
2009 it is 12.0%. During the last decade the City made great strides in reducing crime and
disorder in the community through collaborative community partnerships, technological
advancements (including crime analysis) and carefully targeted enforcement efforts.
However, the City has disproportionally suffered the consequences of the current recession
and has been forced to make draconian cuts to its current and future budgets, thus
significantly reducing the number of sworn officers. There are fewer officers now than in
1985, and budget deficits will further reduce their ranks as early as this year. Due to the
current recession and financial crisis the gains from the last decade are in jeopardy and the
well being of the community is threatened. The Department employs 1.02 officers per
1,000 population which is dramatically below stare and national aycrag s. This ratio is
based on 42 unfunded sworn officer positions, more than 10% of total strength. Crime,
which had been on a steady long-term downward trend, is rising in many categories. The

ATTACHMENT A
Santa Ana criminal street gang population of approximately 6,900 which accounts for less
than two percent of the City's population, this criminal element constitutes a significant
impact on fear in the community and threatens the safety and stability of our
neighborhoods. It is our belief that Gangs in Santa Ana are responsible for a
disproportionate amount of the crime being committed. Through the use of grant funding
the City of Santa Ana will augment its Gang Enforcement Units, and Career Criminal Unit
with suppression units working overtime to target enforcement of gang members and
Career Criminals involved in violent behavior. The Department currently lacks the man
power and fiscal resources to address this problem, these officers will be deployed directly
into the neighborhoods being most affected by the current state of affairs and will be
funded for the three year grant period. This funding will equate to 2,565 hours of
additional law enforcement presence on our streets.
The Santa Ana Police Department is additionally providing 10% of its allocated funds to
Pro-Act Program in support of their operational needs.
Goals of the PrOlect:
The goal of these projects is to reduce criminal activity through enhanced enforcement efforts.
increase public safety and equip frontline law enforcement with needed safety equipment.
Strategies to be used for Proiect:
The use of selective enforcement overtime coupled with crime analysis data allows resources to
be specifically deployed in areas of increased criminal activity during time frames found to be
most beneficial to project goals.
• Contact gang members and Career Criminals to gain intelligence and investigative
information for prosecutorial purposes
• Increase the number of arrest and prosecution of gang members and Career Criminals
• Reduce the fear gang members and Career Criminals evoke in the community through
high visibility police presence and enforcement activates.
Budget Narrative: Include breakdown for Personnel, travel, equipment, supplies,
consultants/contracts, other costs, etc.
Funds will be utilized for personnel overtime and frontline law enforcement safety equipment.
No funds are allocated for travel, supplies, consultant / contracts, etc...
All funds, except those allocated to PROACT, will be utilized in support of frontline law
enforcement efforts only.

City: Stanton
The City of Stanton ,proposes to use the 2010 Justice Assistance Grant funding as
follows:
Pro1ea O6,iectives, Include type of programs to be funded and the need for the
programs for the four year grant period
The City of Stanton is a diverse community presenting unique challenges for law
enforcement. A large Hispanic immigrant population and the resulting language barrier
can cause a gap between residents, businesses and law enforcement providers. In many
cases immigrant residents are fearful of police due to their immigration status. Stanton is
home to several active criminal street gangs which use fear and intimidation of residents as
a method for ensuring many crimes are never reported to police. 1 -
` Through implementation of community policing practices we intend to increase awareness
and positive interaction among residents, business owners and law enforcement in a
community effort to reduce crime. Reducing crimes against persons and businesses will
help ensure that the City of Stanton has an active and flourishing business community
supported by its residents. It is a commonly recognized fact that public support is
necessary for business to flourish. This is also the case for police effectiveness in
accomplishing their core mission of preventing crimp:. Building relationships with the
public increases police legitimacy and affects how well they can control crime. -
