Sheriff's Department
Mr. Micalizzi introduced Lieutenant Wren as a former colleague and
informed the Committee about collaborations with the Sheriff's
Department regarding some vandalism and illegal activity that has taken
place at some public District Water Facilities. In addition some of these
locations are bordering some homes that had been burglarized over the
past months. Lieutenant Wren spoke about the Buffer Zone Protection
Plan (BZPP), a Department of Homeland Security- administered
infrastructure protection grant program to help local law enforcement and
first responders identify and mitigate vulnerabilities at the highest -risk
critical infrastructure sites. A buffer zone is the area outside a facility that
1
an adversary can use to conduct surveillance or launch an attack. The
term is associated with identified critical infrastructure and key resources
such as a water reservoir or water treatment plant. He then updated the
Committee on efforts made by the Sheriff's Department since acquiring
the contract to provide police services to the City of Yorba Linda and some
of the challenges associated with the transition. Lt. Wren offered many
suggestions on how to best protect against burglaries and some of the
other criminal trends affecting the region.
