|Updated:

The Santa Ana City Council will be considering reallocating over $1.1 million from the police department’s budget to instead support youth-based services, de-escalation training, sensitivity training, and more.

If approved, the funding will come from the Santa Ana Police Department’s Metropolitan Division FY 2021-2022 expenditures of $6,697,510 in an effort to lower it to FY 2020-2021’s funding of $5,594,150. The Metropolitan Division consists of the Gang Unit and Major Enforcement Team Unit, which utilize traditional and community oriented strategies to prevent crime.
