JEREMIAH W. (JAY) NIXON Governor JOHN M. BRITT Director of Public Safety Homeland Security Advisor PAUL H. FENNEWALD Homeland Security Coordinator May 31, 2011 State of Missouri Office of Homeland Security Department of Public Safety Harry S Truman Building 301 West High Street, Room 870 P. O. Box 749 Jefferson City, MO 65102 Telephone (573) 522-3007 Fax (573) 751-5399 Mr. Edward Hillhouse, Executive Director East-West Gateway Council of Governments One Memorial Dr., Ste 1600 St. Louis, MO 63102 Dear Mr. Hillhouse: As you are already aware, the fiscal realities of the 2011 Department of Homeland Security grant allocations have created considerable challenges to a unified and seamless strategy in homeland security for our state. In an effort to advance a “whole community” strategy for homeland security, the Missouri Department of Public Safety, Office of Homeland Security (OHS) is making a formal request to withhold the State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP) Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Activities (LETPA) set aside, a total of $1,630,581, for allocations to be made by the State on behalf of the St. Louis Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI). The State would combine all LETPA allocations, to include state, local, and UASI share, into one funding mechanism for law enforcement statewide. We understand that this may occur only with the written consent of the Urban Area jurisdiction, with the written consent specifying the amount of funds ($1,630,581) to be retained and the intended use of funds. Our proposal is as follows: Fiscal Year (FY) 11 Allocations: FY 11 Distributions: FY 11 State Allocation $1,871,985 FY 11 UASI Allocation $1,630,581 FY 11 Total allocation $3,502,566 St. Louis UASI $1.167,522 Regional Homeland Security Oversight Committee (RHSOC), $1.167,522 Urban Region A State/Rural RHSOC $1.167,522 Total distribution $3,502,566 The state would establish three (3) LETPA sub-committees, who would make funding recommendations to support law enforcement terrorism prevention program activity in their respective jurisdictions. Minimal “earmark” amounts to insure support of overarching statewide initiatives such as intelligence fusion centers, interoperable communications, and the Center for Education Safety, would be required for each of the St. Louis, Kansas, and State/Rural RHSOC Regions. As the state experiences threats of terrorist attacks (foreign and domestic) and natural disasters, communities are challenged to develop collective, local abilities to withstand the potential impacts of these events, respond quickly, and recover in a way that sustains or improves the community‘s overall well-being. Achieving this collective capacity calls for innovative approaches across the community, including emergency management to build up existing practices, institutions, and organizations that help make local communities successful, and that can leverage this infrastructure if and when an incident occurs.
