counties and cities that maintain emergency management staff and meet training, exercising, and reporting requirements. The County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner Department is the lead agency for the county.
In January 2025, the Police Department submitted an initial application for the FY 2024 EMPG Grant and has been awarded $46,537. The Police Department will utilize this funding to purchase and install one security video camera on Bristol Street to enhance public safety, as well as to purchase three uninterruptible power supply units for the City Emergency Operations Center. Existing Police Department funding of the Emergency Operations Coordinator position fulfills the requirement for matching funds.
In August 2024, the Police Department was awarded FY 2023 EMPG Grant funding for two security video cameras on Bristol Street. However, the security camera vendor was unable to complete the project for the contracted amount. Therefore, the grant funding was terminated. This new grant funding will allow for at least one new camera to be installed.
