FROM:	Bill Gallardo

Subject:

Brea Police Department’s Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Proposal

RECOMMENDATION

Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Police Chief, on behalf of the Brea City Council, to submit the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program Grant Proposal, to execute the Grant Agreement with the BSCC and any amendments thereof, and affirming that grant funds shall not be used to supplant expenditures controlled by this Body.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION

The Police Department, on behalf of the City of Brea, desires to participate in the Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program funded through the State Budget Act and administered by the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC).

The Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program is accepting Grant Proposals through July 7, 2023. This grant makes $242,250,000 available competitively to city police, county sheriffs’ departments, and probation departments to support local law enforcement agencies in preventing and responding to organized retail theft, motor vehicle or motor vehicle accessory theft, or cargo theft. It is the intention of the Police Department to seek funding through this grant to offset costs of the proposed Integrated Crime Center.

COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

None.

FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY

None. This Resolution authorizes the Police Department’s application for grant funding only. Assuming the grant is awarded, there would be a positive impact to the City’s general fund.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:

William Gallardo, City Manager
Prepared by: Jamie McDonald, Management Analyst II
Concurrence: Chris Harvey, Police Lieutenant
