7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The City of Orange has been selected to receive a $244,897 grant to implement a Selective Traffic
Enforcement Program for Federal Fiscal Year 2015. The funds will be used for overtime costs associated
with DUI checkpoints and saturation patrols to apprehend impaired drivers, warrant service operations
targeting repeat DUI violators who failed to appear in court or violate probation, and special enforcement
operations with an emphasis on reducing traffic collisions. Law enforcement personnel will receive
specialized training to detect and apprehend drivers under the influence of drugs (legal and illegal). Also,
special patrols will be used to enforce California's hand held and texting while driving laws. The
program will also concentrate on speed, aggressive driving, seat belt enforcement, intersection operations
with disproportionate numbers of traffic crashes and special enforcement operations encouraging
motorcycle safety. The grant will also provide for the purchase of PAS devices and calibration supplies,
a portable light tower, and other checkpoint supplies.
