DISCUSSION
On March 18, 2013, Council approved a three -year contract for leased vehicles. Under the stated
contract, the Santa Ana Police Department leases vehicles for various personnel based on need
for field assignments. Leasing a variety of vehicles allows for interchangeability in order to
maintain anonymity and provide safety for police officers. The current contract allows for a total of
32 leased vehicles, 16 assigned to the Special Investigations Division and 16 vehicles are leased
and assigned to background investigators, police commanders and various staff assigned to
Training, Internal Affairs and the Personnel Division.
On November 4, 2014, Santa Ana voters passed a proposition regulating the operations of
sanctioned medical marijuana dispensaries. The regulations will require inspections of the
sanctioned businesses for compliance with the newly established ordinance. City staff will also
be required to aggressively investigate complaints related to illegal dispensaries. The Police
Department has established a task force to work in collaboration with other City Departments that
will act as the primary enforcement arm to address this necessity. The Police Department Task
Force members consist of five police detectives and one detective sergeant. The nature of this
assignment will require undercover operations and surveillance activities on a routine basis.
Therefore, assigning undercover leased vehicles for task force members to drive will ensure their
safety, as well as the effectiveness of their enforcement and monitoring activities.
