EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) grant funding originates from the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CAL OES) and is allocated to local counties. The counties then award grant funds, via subrecipient agreements, to local jurisdictions. The City is a subrecipient of Los Angeles County for the 2023 SHSP grant award cycle and has been awarded $58,728 of grant funds.
The grant funds will be utilized by the Police and Fire Departments to procure agency-approved equipment and provide training to prevent, respond to, and recover from threats or acts of terrorism. The funds will be distributed to the City on a reimbursement basis.
