Background
The City of San Bernardino is a participating jurisdiction in the Homeland Security Grant Program.

Discussion
The San Bernardino Police Department receives non-competitive formulary HSGP funds as a sub-recipient of the County of San Bernardino. The County charges an administrative fee of 5% and distributes the remaining grant funds among the cities and towns within the County. Each city’s portion is determined on a per capita basis and the City of San Bernardino’s award for FY2022 HSGP funds was $38,521.
The HSGP grant is designed to fund projects related to preparing for, responding to, mitigating, and recovering from terrorism or other threats to homeland security. This is a reimbursement grant that is awarded each year. The grant performance period will last from July 1, 2023, through March 31, 2025. The Police Department will use the grant funds to complete grant projects that comply with grant terms and goals. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
