ability to talk within and across agencies and jurisdictions via radio and associated
communications systems, exchange voice, data and/or video with one another on demand, in real
time, when needed, when authorized.
o Measure I: Agencies have operable communications systems that are in place to meet
their everyday internal agency requirements.
• This project supports NCR Goal 8: Incident Operations

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Date: Agenda Item: Subject: Urban Areas Security Initiative
March 17, 2014 9 a iii (UASI) and North Central Region (NCR)
Grant Funding
Initiated By: Staff Source:
Police Department Deputy Chief Jeff Sanchez
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
City Council has previously approved our participation in the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) and
North Central Region (NCR) Programs.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Police Department is recommending that City Council adopt an Ordinance authorizing the Englewood
Police Department to apply for funding that will become available through the Urban Areas Security
Initiative (UASl)/North Central Region (NCR) Programs.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The UASI program is intended to provide financial assistance to address the unique multi-discipline
planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise needs of high-threat, high-density urban areas, and
to assist these areas in building and sustaining capabilities to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to,
and recover from threats or acts of terrorism using the Whole Community approach. Activities
implemented with UASI funds must support terrorism preparedness by building or enhancing capabilities
that relate to the prevention of, protection from, mitigation of, response to or recovery from terrorism in
order to be considered eligible. Many capabilities which support terrorism preparedness simultaneously
support preparedness for other hazards.
The North Central All-Hazards Emergency Management Region (NCR) is one of nine emergency
preparedness and response regions within the State of Colorado. Formation of the regions has led to a
more efficient use of available limited funding and resources. The NCR is responsible for managing the
State Homeland Security Grant Program and has a strong partnership the Denver Area Urban Area Security
Initiative (UASI). Although the NCR and UASI have different governing structures, many of the committees
are joint committees and work in an integrated, collaborative method.
UASI/NCR will be applying for the grant. The Police Department will submit two separate proposals to
UASI/NCR to receive grant funding. The first proposal will be for the purchase of new equipment for the
Englewood SWAT Team. The second proposal will be for the purchase of new equipment to upgrade the
Englewood Police/Fire Command Van and one Police Command Vehicle.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The SWAT Equipment request will be for $52,576. The Police/Fire Command Vehicles request will be for
$7,440.86 .
