Is the project shareable, deployable or both? both
Provide a summary description of the project answering each of the questions below. (spell
out all acronyms and abbreviations)
What is the scope of the problem (please define the nexus to a threat or act of terronsrna))
The capability to identify, track, and locate vehicles associated with potential threats through active and
passive surveillance and search procedures is an identified gap the region needs to enhance. Regional
investigative and response efforts to acts of terrorism involving vehicles are key components of our
strategy. In an effort to build and sustain our regional capacity, an effort is underway to expand the regional
license plate reader program. The Orlando -Orange UASI region is a centralized hub for tourism and
transient populations.
Within the jurisdictions of Orlando -Orange UASI lies multiple transportation hubs such as the Orlando
International Airport, the Orlando Executive Airport, Sun Rail (commuter rail), the future Brightline Rail (inter
city rail), as well as the Lynx main bus terminal. These transportation hubs increase the ability for potential
terrorists to move freely and quickly to and from the region. The Orlando International Airport alone has
more than 21,000 employees and is the busiest airport in the state, seeing more than 55 million
passengers a year. The tourist and residential population continues to grow throughout the Central Florida
region, thereby creating more opportunities to harm the public. Enhancing the region's ability to build and
sustain the capability to detect, track, and locate vehicles involved in threats or acts of terrorism by
providing the proper tools to monitor the areas surrounding these hubs is essential. This funding will allow
Orlando -Orange UASI jurisdictions to expand the regional UASI License Plate Reader (LPR) program.
This grant, UASI FY2023, will allow funds to build out to 10 additional law enforcement agencies, the
Orlando Police Department, Orange County Sheriffs Office, Seminole County Sheriffs Office, Wnter Park
Police Department. Windermere Police Department, Ocoee Police Department, Kissimmee Police
Department, Lake County Sheriffs Office, and Clermont Police Department. The goal is to continue to
incorporate additional agencies to the uniform license plate reader platform. Since 2011, the region has
been building a network on License Plate Reader platforms. These platforms have consisted of multiple
vendors and a wide variety of LPR hardware associated with these programs.
Moving forward, the region will be able to share equipment and data seamlessly via the available
platforms. This program will support the purchase of fixed, portable, and mobile LPRs. This agreement will
allow assets to be focused regionally instead of locally, maximizing the program's effectiveness in Orlando -
Orange UASI
The State of Florida has been trying to build a program that would allow law enforcement agencies to share
license plate data in real-time but has not been successful. The stakeholders in this region have developed
strategies to pool resources together to share data across jurisdictional lines with uniformity in information
sharing. Grant funds will provide the essential equipment needed to reduce the identified gap- Screening.
Search, and Detection are essential in identifying, discovering, or locating threats through both active and
passive surveillance/search procedures. Additional LPR equipment will support screening, search, and
detection operations, enhancing the regions investigative and response capabilities.
What is the overall goal or objective of this project?
The project's overall goal is to improve and expand the region's capability to identify, track, and locate
vehicles associated with potential threats through active and passive surveillance and search procedures.
Data from this program will continue to be shared with all stakeholders and those outside of the region.
This is addressed in Florida Domestic Security Strategy GOAL 2: Prevent and deter acts of terrorism,
Objective 2.1: Information and Intelligence Sharing - Recognize, gather, analyze, and share terrorism
information and intelligence with public and private partners incorporating the established fusion process,
Objective 2.2: Interdiction of Threats - Ensure collaboration with public and private partners to Investigate
and interdict actionable threats, Objective 2.3: Identify Current and Emerging Threats - Monitor and analyze
national and international trend patterns to identify current and emerging threats.

Mat is the current capability sustained by this project
Currently, the counties of Orange, Lake, Seminole, Osceola, Volusia, Polk, City of Orlando, Winter Park
Police Department, and the University of Central Florida utilize a uniform License Plate Reader Platform.
New agencies entering this UASI 2023 program that will also use a uniform LPR platform are the
Windermere Police Department, Clermont Police Department, and Ocoee Police Department.
Who is affected by the capability, or wiii be affected if the capability
All law enforcement agencies are actively using the License Plate Reader technology for live time and
investigative purposes.
What has already been done to sustain this capability?
The current agencies that have already received funds from previous grant cycles have agreed that the
more agencies are involved in the program, the more it helps us all enhance inter -agency communication
and sharing of information and intelligence. The incorporation of more LPRs will provide more accurate
and timely license plate reader data for the region.
Will this project sustain the capability at current levels ur sustain it white also narrowing a gap
This project will sustain itself as all participating stakeholders will invest from their operating funds to cover
the reoccurring expenses related to maintenance or expansion. To date, all stakeholder recipients have
continued to do the LPRs sustainment.
Select the primary core capablity the project will
support Intelligence & Infor Sharing
Does this project support one of the National Priority Areas (NPAs)? If so which one and
how does the project address the priority?
Describe how this project addresses gaps and/or sustainment in the THIRA and SPR for the
primary core capability. If there are other relevant capabilities, describe how the project
also addresses their gaps and/or sustainment. Page numbers must be provided.
This project addresses the functional area of Analysis of Intelligence and Information outlined in the 2020
Orlando -Orange UASI THIRA (pg. 15). The SPR identifies a gap in the planning area, "Intelligence explicitly
and information sharing is essential for addressing and sharing information about potential and ongoing
threats to the community. There is a need for better regional collaboration." (2020 Orlando -Orange UASI
SPR pg. 34). This project also enhances information and intelligence sharing and cooperation with federal
agencies by tracking suspected terrorists. and tNMD and biological identified vehicles. The FBI office in
Atlanta is a sharing partner on this platform. This fulfills priority 3, listed on page 5 of the FY2021 HSGP
NOFO.
Additionally, the expansion of the license plate reader system directly impacts the gaps identified in the
functional area of Screening. Search, and Detection noted in the 2020 Orlando -Orange UASI THIRA (pg.
17). The 2020 Orlando -Orange SPR identifies the functional area of Screening, Search, and Detection and
identifies explicitly the gap in both planning and equipment. The planning area notes, 'Screening, search
and detection is essential to Identify, discover, or locate threats and/or hazards through active and passive
surveillancelsearch procedures. The equipment area states. 'there is a need for additional equipment that
can support screening, search and detection operations' (2020 Orlando -Orange UASI SPR pg. 49).

Project Impact Statements
Describe the criteria that should be evaluated to determine if this project was a success at
the end of the grant performance period.
The LPRs can locate vehicle information and location across jurisdictional lines through a shareable
system with trackable results. The LPR application allows querying of all entries. A full chronological
tracking system by all users is available in the system. A measurable product efficiency report can be
derived for this system at any time by all users
How will the urban area's capabilities be enhanced by this project?
The region will be better equipped to identify, track, and locate vehicles associated with potential threats,
improving the investigations and response to incidents of terrorism This system will share comprehensive
vehicle data on identified vehicles with other agencies throughout our region and the state of Florida.
What is the long-term plan to sustain the capability(ies) developed, enhanced or supported
by this project?
Each stakeholder w ll rely on internal funding to sustain their programs. Long-term program sustainment
depends on a commitment from all the participating stakeholders to back and continue to support this
intelligence -sharing partnership. Initial startup costs are the greatest hurdle to this program. 100% of the
stakeholders that have started with this program are still using it.

CITY COMMISSION MEMORANDUM 24,185
JULY 8, 2024 AGENDA
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
PREPARED BY: Cecil E. Smith, Chief of Police
SUBMITTED BY: Norton N. Bonaparte, Jr., ICMA-CM, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2024-3262; City Police Department As Part Of The Urban
Area Security Initiative (UASI) Grant Program; Grant Funding And
Implementation
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES:
❑ Unify Downtown & the Waterfront
❑ Promote the City's Distinct Culture
❑ Update Regulatory Framework
❑ Redevelop and Revitalize Disadvantaged Communities
SYNOPSIS:
Approval of Resolution No. 2024-3262, relating to the City's Police Department participation in
the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant program for the Orlando/Orange Urban Area
(O/OUA), for the funding of automated license plate readers, is requested.
FISCAL/STAFFING STATEMENT:
The UASI grant program provides funding to enhance regional preparedness and capabilities in
designated high -threat, high-density areas. The UASI grant program is a program of the United
States Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) implemented and administered in the State of Florida by the Florida Division of
Emergency Management (FDEM). The UASI grant program assists local efforts to build and
sustain the capabilities necessary to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from
acts of terrorism. It provides financial assistance to address the unique multidiscipline planning,
organization, equipment, training and exercise needs of these areas, as well as assisting them 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.
The FDEM is providing financial assistance to the O/OUA in the amount $3,800,000 less the 5%
fee for State management and administration through the Fiscal Year 2023 of the UASI grant
program. The approval of Resolution No. 2024-3262 will allow the City to implement its receipt
of grant funding on an annual basis.
BACKGROUND:
The Orange County Sheriff's Office (OCSO) is the recipient for O/OUA UASI grant program
funding. The FDEM requires that the urban areas selected for funding take a regional metropolitan
area approach to the development and implementation of the UASI grant program. That approach
means involving core cities, core counties, contiguous jurisdictions, mutual aid partners and State
agencies. Law enforcement agencies within the O/OUA which have been determined to be
appropriate are those of the City of Orlando, Orange County, Seminole County, Lake County and
Osceola County.
The OCSO has expressed its desire to work with the O/OUA participants through the Urban Area
Working Group process to enhance the O/OUA and its surrounding jurisdiction's ability to
prevent, protect against, respond to and recover from acts of terrorism, or any other manmade or
natural disaster.
In March, 2024, the OCSO entered into an agreement with the FDEM for a Federally funded sub
grant agreement. The annual memorandum of agreements (MOA) are, in essence, implementation
of a joint venture between the Cities, Counties, the State and FEMA. The attached spread sheet
relates to the "National Priority Regarding Video Surveillance" equipment project for the O/OUA.
The spread sheet provides an overview of the entire project which will be managed and monitored
by the OCSO.
The City's Police Department has had automated license plate readers (ALPRs) on its vehicles and
speed trailers for a number of years. The Seminole County Sheriff's Office, the Sanford Airport
Authority's police department and the Volusia County Sheriff's Office have ALPRs located within
and around Sanford which the City's Police Department uses on a daily basis. The City's Police
Department has also requested additional ALPRs in its present and previous budgets. The funding
resulting from the MOA O/OUA UASI grant program will increase the City Police Department's
available ALPRs thereby enhancing the high quality law enforcement services provided to the City
and its citizens (as well as the general public) and will, also, hopefully reduce City expenditures.
The City's Police Department focuses funds received on activities occurring, or potentially
occurring, within the municipal limits of the City although it collaborates and cooperates with
other agencies in the O/OUA Area which agencies reciprocally provide assistance and aid to the
City in its efforts
The City desires to continue to receive funding from the UASI grant program and to enter and to
execute periodic MOAs from time -to -time and engage in implementing procurement activities
pertaining to funds received from the UASI grant program.
