DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department Continuous Professional Training program provides in-house
classroom instruction in the Police Department Administration Facility, along with drills in the
community for the 339 sworn officers. The training facility also serves as the Police Department
Operations Center (DOC) and as such, is utilized to manage and direct resources during emerging
planned and unplanned events in the city. Additionally, the five classrooms can accommodate
multiple classes held concurrently, and rooms can be combined for instruction to larger audiences.
The facility's capacity, its central location, and in-house Cafe position it as the preferred location to
provide courses to regional groups, including the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area Security Initiative
(UASI) Training and Exercise program. UASI classes are attended by a cross-section of the first
responder community, including representatives of Law/Fire agencies, the military, the FBI, the
Department of Homeland Security, and the California Emergency Management Agency. UASI
classes are conducted in one to five day sessions and have a typical attendance of 40 to 50 students.
Annually, approximately 2500 to 3000 students attend training in the facility. The large volume of
classes and DOC operations has taxed the technical capacity of the classrooms. The 15-year old
equipment has exceeded the standard 5-year life expectancy. Replacement of PowerPoint
projectors, screens, DVD players, and audio equipment will modernize the equipment utilized and
enhance the learning experience of participants.
