RECOMMENDED ACTION(S)
Approve and authorize execution of the Memorandum of Agreement for participation in the Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center.
SUMMARY:
The Sheriff-Coroner requests approval of the Memorandum of Agreement among the cities of Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine and Huntington Beach, the Orange County Fire Authority and the County of Orange through the Sheriff-Coroner Department and the Health Care Agency, for participation in Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center (OCIAC) was formed as a multi-agency information and intelligence sharing network to collect, analyze and disseminate information on threats to the safety of residents, visitors and the critical infrastructure of Orange County. The OCIAC is the primary Orange County conduit for intelligence that may be of value to the National Security Effort. The current participants in the OCIAC are the Sheriff-Coroner Department, the Health Care Agency, the Orange County Fire Authority, and the cities of Anaheim, Irvine, Huntington Beach and Santa Ana. Additional agencies may join in the future upon approval of the current participants. The Sheriff-Coroner, in coordination with the Orange County Chiefs of Police and Sheriff's Association, the city participants' Chiefs of Police, the Fire Authority Chief and the Director of the Health Care Agency, has responsibility for the overall policy and direction of the OCIAC. The OCIAC operates out of Sheriff-Coroner Department offices, and day-to-day supervision is the responsibility of the Sheriff-Coroner's Homeland Security Division Commander.
The proposed Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) sets forth the mission and objectives of the OCIAC, and the responsibilities of the participating agencies. Pursuant to the MOA, the salaries, benefits and overtime costs of the participants are paid by their respective agencies. Homeland Security grant funding was used to purchase the seven vehicles that are used by OCIAC members. A portion of the County's share of Homeland Security grant funds is used for the salaries and benefits of the Sheriff-Coroner Department Sergeant and Deputy Sheriff II who are members of the OCIAC. Homeland Security grant funding was used to purchase equipment used by OCIAC members, and covers the costs of training for the members. The County is responsible for the vehicle fuel and maintenance costs, plus miscellaneous office expenses. Additional grant funding for software, hardware, training, and salaries and benefits for two analysts has been provided by the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) grant program managed by the Anaheim and Santa Ana Police Departments.
