Title
GENERAL SERVICES - APPROVAL IN PRINCIPLE TO LEASE SPACE FOR SAN DIEGO LAW ENFORCEMENT COORDINATION CENTER (DISTRICT: 2)
Body
OVERVIEW
The San Diego Law Enforcement Coordination Center (SD-LECC) is a multi-agency facility that serves as the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Investigative Support Center for both San Diego and Imperial Counties. SD-LECC also serves as the Regional Threat Assessment Center for San Diego and Imperial counties and is part of the California State Threat Assessment System. Due to SD-LECC's governance structure and funding, a fiduciary is needed to enter into a lease agreement on their behalf. The Sheriff has agreed to act in this capacity and will be reimbursed by federal Homeland Security grant funds for all expenses associated with a new lease.
Law Enforcement Coordination Centers are staffed by many agencies who provide and share resources, expertise, and information with the goal of detecting, preventing, investigating and responding to criminal and terrorist activity. Located in states and large urban areas throughout the country, these centers are operated by state and local entities with support from federal partners. The San Diego Law Enforcement Coordination Center's mission is to protect the people and infrastructure of San Diego and Imperial Counties from criminal activity, terrorism and hazards.
Today's request is for the San Diego County Board of Supervisors (Board) to approve, in principle, the lease of space for the San Diego Law Enforcement Coordination Center. Upon successful negotiation of the lease agreement, staff will return to the Board to request approval of the transaction.
