The Seal Beach Police Department has received a Target & Blue Grant in the

supports law enforcement efforts to combat crime and keep our communities
safe and secure by supplying monies for events, equipment and volunteer
programs. Seal Beach was awarded this grant as a result of its efforts promoting
youth education through access to positive adult influences — our Police Explorer
Post #1041 program. The department was also recognized for its "Eye in the
Sky" Christmas Holiday Season crime prevention program utilizing members of
the Volunteers -In- Police Services (VIPS) program, as well as its positive
community events such as National Night Out.
The grant funds will be divided evenly between the Police Explorer program and
the VIPS program. Funds will be used for training, equipment and recruitment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Receive grant funds that will supplement police volunteer efforts.

and distribute the "Target & Blue Grant" funds on behalf of the police department.
