DISCUSSION
The United States department of Homeland Security, Office of Grants and Training has developed
the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) funding program. This initiative was designed to enhance
the domestic preparedness of urban areas by ensuring that all emergency first responders have
adequate and appropriate equipment to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism.
Santa Ana has been designated as an urban Area Core City for the ninth year. The City of Santa Ana
has fiscal responsibility for the FY09 UASI Grant for the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area which
encompasses the 34 jurisdictions in Orange County.
To increase regional collaboration in Homeland Security the Lenco Bearcat (Ballistic Engineered
Armored Response Courter Attack Truck) project will support the North County SWAT (NCS) and
West County SWAT (WCS) teams in their response to a catastrophic event in the Orange County
Urban Area. The NCS and WCS regional teams provide primary SWAT coverage to the Cities of
Brea, Fullerton, La Habra, La Palma, Placentia, Yorba Linda, California State Fullerton, Westminster,
Seal Beach, Cypress, Los Alamitos and Fountain Valley. This project will procure two Bearcat
vehicles and enable the NCS and WCS teams to safely respond to Hazardous Materials Tactical
Operations (HMTOC) and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) tactical situations.
Lenco Industries Inc. is the sole source manufacturer of an armored vehicle graded to protect against
.50 caliber ball ammunition with counter balanced roof hatch that provides level IV ballistic protection
for gunners. In addition, in 2006, five Lenco Bear vehicles were purchased through UASI grant
funds. To maintain interoperability between the seven armored vehicles operating in the Orange
County Operational area, utilization of only the Lenco line with proprietary design elements ensures
SWAT operators the ability to operate all vehicles without any special or additional training.
