Approve an appropriation adjustment recognizing a donation from Hoag Memorial Hospital in the
amount of $15,000 in the Police Special Revenue - Programs revenue account and appropriate
same to expenditure account.
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department receives approximately 1,500 reports of missing persons each
year. Approximately 150 of these are deemed critical, involving children and the elderly. Quickly
locating missing persons will minimize risk exposure. Bloodhounds are a globally recognized,
valuable resource for locating people. The current procedure for utilizing a Bloodhound involves
requesting mutual aid from another agency, which generally creates a delay of at least two hours.
Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian's Community Benefit Program would like to donate $15,000
to cover the cost of one Bloodhound, the first year of training, and miscellaneous equipment
necessary to implement a Santa Ana Police Department Bloodhound program. The Santa Ana
Police Department appreciates the support from Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian's
Community Benefit Program and recommends approval of the donation.
