Services (Cal OES) in the amount of$2,700,000 and are further distributed among 11 partner law
enforcement agencies in Riverside, Orange, and Los Angeles Counties to fund their participation in
Operation Stonegarden (OPSG). The Huntington Beach Police Department's role in OPSG is to
coordinate intelligence-based operations within the Huntington Beach area of responsibility and
adjacent coastal areas, conduct high-visibility interdiction operations along 1-405, and conduct harbor
and coastal patrols and aerial support in response to maritime smuggling activity, in order to detect,
prevent, and investigate incidents of human trafficking and the trafficking of illicit narcotics. At no time
will HBPD violate SB 54 or assist in any immigration enforcement operations with federal entities.
HBPD has participated in OPSG in prior grant years.
Environmental Status:
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), administrative activities of governments that will
not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment do not constitute a project.
Strategic Plan Goal:
