BACKGROUND The City of San Bernardino is the county seat in San Bernardino County. San Bernardino is at the base of the San Bernardino National Forest and the neighboring cities include; Highland, Loma Linda, Rialto, Colton and Devore. Interstate freeways I-215 and I-10 provide travel through our city. We are home to California State University San Bernardino where more than 15,000 students are enrolled. There are approximately 347 ABC licensed premises in San Bernardino for residents and non-residents to access alcoholic beverages. The agency has the responsibility to provide police service to a wide range of citizenry including a large population in the lower socio-economic bracket. The city encompasses 60 square mile with an estimated population 185,401. According to the United States economic forecast, the Inland Empire, which incorporates the city, is one of the top ten growth areas in the nation with the fastest developing urban area. Located 60 miles east of Los Angeles, it is one hour driving time from popular children attractions, mountain resorts, the high desert, and beaches. The city is ethnically diverse with 36% of the population of Anglo descent, 16% African American, 5% Asian, and 43% Hispanic. In addition recent analysis has shown that approximately 31 % of the city's population is under the age of 18. The San Bernardino Police Department consists of 453 personnel, including 158 non sworn and 295 sworn personnel. The department has adopted Community Policing and Problems Solving, (COPPS) as a department wide policing strategy. In 1998 the department was the recipient of the governors award for organizational achievement for training excellence in the area of community policing. Currently we have a dedicated two person Vice unit with their direct supervision coming under a sergeant. In addition to the enforcement of ABC related activities, this unit is responsible for the enforcement of all vice related crimes to include street level prostitution, escorts, motel prostitution, massage parlors, gaming and carnivals, gambling, animal fighting, lewd act investigations in the parks, and the adult book stores. They also work directly with city hall, particularly the Business Registration Department and the Planning Department. The project will fall under the direct supervision of the vice unit and they will be responsible for the implementation of the project and for the continuous monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of the project. They will complete all necessary progress reports required of the grant. PROBLEM STATEMENT The primary problem as identified by the Vice officers is the increased drain on police services as a result of underage drinking at the ABC licensed locations. The secondary problem is the associated crimes of drinking in public, public intoxication, intoxicated patrons fighting in the parking lots and general quality of life issues for the businesses and residences that are closely located to the licensed location. The use of scarce police services to deal with these crimes impacts our ability to respond to serious and/or violent felony crimes. The City of San Bernardino has had an increase in the reported crime rate, as have most of the cities throughout the state. This coupled with the low socio-economic citizens, and the over 15,000 students enrolled at Cal State University San Bernardino, challenges our abilities to safely provide for the safety of all city residents. There are over 340 ABC licensed establishments and only two vice officers to monitor their compliance. Among the most problematic are several large night club type establishments that draw under age patrons from as far away as San Diego to the south and Los Angeles to the west. Often times businesses that are located close to the licensed establishments suffer economically as they are forced to close when the patrons of the establishments loiter and prevent them from carrying on the normal operations. ABC-800-B (1 /03) 2004-109 Both the local City Attorney, who handles the various municipal code violations, and the District Attorneys office, who prosecute the state law violations are actively, aggressively involved in the successful prosecution of the criminal offenses and also any prevention efforts that we can employ. Obviously the prevention efforts are preferred as this will reduce the drain of their limited resources. Currently with only two officers assigned to full time investigatory responsibilities and the large amount of physical locations it is very difficult to adequately ensure proper compliance with all applicable ABC laws, as well as local statutes. The officers have done a tremendous job in the past year with prior grant funding from the state. They were able to increase the amount of programs over 200% with the prior funding. To date this has resulted in approximately 193 arrests and citations for various alcohol related crimes. Prior to the increased overtime the two officers did not have enough time to adequately investigate complaints, or take any proactive, preventive actions. PROJECT OBJECTIVES Through past experience it has been found that a two prong attack on the problem has been effective. The first step is a proactive educational effort directed at the ABC establishments who through their location or past history have a high likelihood of underage patrons trying to purchase or use alcohol. Educational efforts are also directed at the underage population that may try to purchase alcohol. This is accomplished through a working relationship with the officials at Cal State University San Bernardino and San Bernardino Valley College. We will also continue our participation in the Cal State University Partnership program. By doing on site visits with the owners/operators and providing them with the necessary information to help their employees identify underage patrons and take the appropriate steps to eliminate that activity we can reduce the enforcement efforts. A secondary benefit from the educational efforts is the development of a partnership with the establishment. This helps to open the lines of communication and to encourage the rapid exchange of timely information. The second step in attacking the problem is the use of decoy programs to target the offenders themselves. Several of the methods that have been use successfully in the past and will continue to be aggressively pursued is the "shoulder tap" method of undercover operatives trying to have others purchase the alcohol for them and also the "decoy" program where underage operatives try to purchase the alcohol themselves. We have also worked with ABC personnel in identifying the use of false or fraudulent identification at licensed establishments. The laptop computer will be used in both the preventative and enforcement parts of our attack. The vast amount of information available through both the state and other resources can be presented in a Power Point format to groups or individuals. The portability of the unit will allow for real time tracking of statistical information and will be used to store photo documentation for both judicial and administrative proceedings. METHOD OF PROCEDURE The grant funds would allow the San Bernardino Police Department to continue to have a definite impact on the identified problems. We will continue to work cooperatively with ABC investigators from the Riverside office. We will continue to strategize our efforts to provide education and prevention programs to the public and the licensees, and we will conduct enforcement at ABC licensed premises. ABC-800-B (1 /03) 2004-109 programs will consist of 1) Decoy Programs, 2) Shoulder Tap Programs, 3) IMPACT Programs, 4) Trap r Programs, and 5) Cops in Shops Programs. We will continue to have Task Force Operations and we Id schedule two LEAD Training sessions. One goal would be to conduct programs in trouble spots where sting people are necessary, and meet with the licensee(s) and/or management to resolve the problems. )uraging compliance with the ABC rules and regulations would be achieved by involving them in solving hol-related problems. For example, a nightclub owner that is having trouble with minors using fake ID's Id allow us to conduct a Trap Door program. The grant funds will allow the San Bernardino Police artment to conduct these programs on a weekly rather than a monthly basis to ensure that both the blishments and the patrons are aware of the close monitoring by the department and to continue to itain a presence at the college and university. vice officers that are currently assigned have years of experience in the identification of violations and a very good working relationship with the local ABC officials. They are highly proactive and realize that igh their hard work and efforts that a high quality of life can be established and maintained in the city. METHOD OF EVALUATION As with any enforcement efforts the ultimate goal is the reduction of the violations. The Vice officers have been closely monitoring their past efforts and in fact have been providing monthly reports on the last grant funding we received. Statistics are checked weekly and measured against prior years to see if the enforcements efforts have been successful. The officers also check citywide crime patterns and trends to see if the ancillary crimes that tend to follow the underage drinking are being reduced by their efforts. This regular examination allows them to focus the resources on the locations that have the highest incidence of violations, so that we can get the most impact from our limited resources. The San Bernardino Police Department has a 5 person Crime Analysis unit that supports the vice unit in identifying possible target establishments. This unit uses the ArcView software system, and has the resources of ESRI systems to prepare comprehensive visual analysis of the data which the vice officers use to target problem locations. LIASON San Bernardino Police Department is currently working closely with investigators from the Riverside : office under the grant for California State University Partnership. Prior to the grant funding our officers doped and maintained a close working relationship with the ABC investigators. With the large volume of ised locations in our city and the problems we have experienced with them, these close ties have been ;mely beneficial to both organizations, and will continue. The grant funds will allow to the San iardino Police Department to continue with this close working relationship and ultimately allow a essful use of the grants funds. ATEMENT OF INTENT nderage drinking and the types of crimes that follow from it have been and will continue to be a high iority for the San Bernardino Police Department. We have had great success so far in our partnership with BC and the department is committed to maintaining this relationship in the future.
