RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2021/125 authorizing the Sheriff-Coroner, Undersheriff or Commander Management Services to apply for and accept State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP) funds in an initial amount of $1,250,000 from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, make required grant assurances and authorize specific Sheriff’s officials to act on behalf of the County to obtain funding for the period of September 1, 2021, through the end of the grant fund availability.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$1,250,000, 100% Federal. No County match.

BACKGROUND:

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is a Federal Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA’s) grant program. This grant is distributed to the Contra Costa Operational Area to assist in preventing, protecting and responding to and recovering from terrorist attacks. These grant programs are part of a comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and implemented by DHS to help strengthen the nation’s communities against potential terrorist attacks.

The funding will allow for enhanced cybersecurity, protection of soft targets/crowded places, enhancement of information and intelligence sharing and cooperation with federal agencies, including DHS, combating domestic violent extremism, addressing emergent threats (e.g. transnational criminal organizations, unmanned aircraft systems (UASs)).

The initial total grant program allocation provided to the County by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and as a pass-through the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) is $1,250,000.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Office of the Sheriff would not be able to apply for and accept this grant funding.
