RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to allow the Hayward Police Department to participate in the application process for the Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant sponsored through the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC).
SUMMARY
The Hayward Police Department is in the process of completing an application to receive grant funding through the BSCC. The grant funding would be used to combat organized retail thefts, motor vehicle thefts, and motor vehicle accessory thefts by expanding the department’s current Automated License Plate Reading (ALPR) camera program. If authorized to apply, the grant would give the department the ability to expand its ALPR camera system, and have all costs associated with the expansion covered for a period of three years.
