1 5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL(S)
Ia. Provide for a Safe Community Provide staffing and resources to deliver services that
ensure public safety.
6. GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Public Safety Goal 6.0 Provide public safety services of the highest quality.
Policy 6.1: Provide the Police Department with adequate personnel, equipment and state- of -the-
art technology to effectively combat crime, meet existing and projected service demands, and
provide crime prevention programs. These resources should be provided prior to anticipated
needs.
7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
Crime varies greatly by time of day more than any other variable and is extremely difficult to
observe in a darkened environment. Critical incidents and surveillance operations commonly
occur at night and present a formidable challenge for officers identifying, and gathering
intelligence. Currently, the use of standard equipment limits Long Rifle Unit members from
identifying targets of interest, consequently prolonging investigations. The Orange Police
Department SWAT Team, through training and operations, recognized the need for specialized
equipment and recommend the use of 2016 JAG funds to purchase a Night Vision Optic device.
Obtaining a Night Vision Optic device will provide the following:
• Enhance nighttime observation
• Multiple detection capabilities
• Assist with surveillance
• Identify offenders and /or victims
• Enhance response time
• Provide critical intelligence
ITEM__ 2 10/11/16
In addition, the device is capable of real time enhancement of targets and provides increased
resolution at high power magnifications. The device will capture target imagery that would
otherwise be invisible to the naked eye and standard equipment.
Gathering intelligence and providing timely situational awareness is critical when trying to
resolve incidents, arrest criminals, protect officers, and protect the public. The timely
identification of offenders and /or victims in some cases may save a life and ensure the right
person is apprehended or rescued.
