DISCUSSION
As part of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), the Bureau of
Justice Assistance has awarded $470,238 to the County of San Diego District Attorney's
Office for the Anti-Drug Abuse Enforcement Team Recovery Act Program. The Police
Department has been allocated $45,430 for its participation in the Jurisdictions Unified
for Drug/Gang Enforcement (JUDGE) program. The Department will use this funding to
partially pay for the personnel costs of the JUDGE unit, which consists I Sergeant, I
Agent and 4 Officers. This ARRi\ funding is a one-time supplement to the regular
funding received from the District Attorney's JUDGE grant award.
The JUDGE pro~'Tam is an inter-agency response to the county-wide problem of offenses
committed by drug-involved gang members, narcotics traffickers and offenders, and
repeat/serious felony offenders. This county-wide task force is comprised of law
enforcement, probation, parole and vertical prosecution which targets adult offenders in
the above outlined categories. With respect to the targeted offenders, this program
provides for increased surveillance, arrests and focused attention within each phase of the
criminal justice system. A primary focus of the program is to identify, apprehend and
prosecute criminals with strike convictions and narcotics histories.

not site specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of
Regulations section 1 8704.2(a)(l ) is not applicable to this decision.

category of the fiscal year 2010/2011 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Fund.
