Revised 11/17/97
LOCAL MA TCH - LOCAL LA W ENFORCEMENT SLOCK GRANT
$119,618
On 717 197, the Mayor and Common Council authorized the police department to apply
for a Local Law Enforcement Block Grant in the amount of $1,076,565. Acceptance
of the grant was contingent upon the availability of funding for the required 10% local
cash match of $119,618 that will not be waived.
This years block grant will be utilized in the following areas:
. The purchase of technology to improve the department's efficiency,
networking capability with allied justice agencies and crime fighting
ability.
. The purchase of a standardized department handgun for issuance to all
police officers and reserve officers.
. $229,057 for overtime to augment the General Fund overtime allocation
for front line police activities.
DISASTER RESPONSE ITEMS
$ 57,235
(14) Motorola MTS2000 800 MHz handie talkie $ 37,235
radios, single unit chargers, spare
batteries
Total
$ 20.000
$ 57,235
Disaster equipment, materials and supplies
The city of San Bernardino has experienced a number of natural and man-made
disasters such as floods, fires, train derailments and gas pipeline explosions. The
response by police personnel to these disasters often requires specialized equipment.
Disasters of this magnitude overwhelm the availability of communications equipment
such as handie talkie radios currently in the department's inventory. The purchase of
the Motorola radios will enhance the department's disaster response readiness and
efficiency. The HT radios will increase the number of radios assigned to Patrol for
daily utilization and will be immediately available for disaster response.

Recent history has shown that rain downpours of 1.65 inches in a little over one hour
caused significant flooding and mud slides in the northeast portion of the city. A
needs assessment following this event identified a need for disaster equipment and
supplies such as canopies, life vests, ropes and rubber boots to be adequately
prepared for the potential impact of "EI Nino."
OVERTIME COSTS
$165,665
Overtime expenditures for department personnel, above approved General Fund
overtime appropriations, will support proactive, directed crime suppression programs;
i.e. saturation patrols following crime of high community interest to prevent
retaliation, stakeouts and surveillances, and curfew enforcement programs using a
joint-agency curfew center concept. This funding combined with $229,057
earmarked for overtime in our FY 1997/98 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant totals
$394,722 in available overtime to augment General Fund appropriations.
PROBLEM ORIENTED POLICING SUPPORT
$ 34,250
(5) Digital P-133 pentium computers
Furnishings, office equipment and support
items.
$ 9,250
Total
$25.000
$34,250
In FY 1997/98, the police department expanded our commitment to problem oriented
policing by assigning a Detective and Community Service Representative II crime
prevention specialist to each of the five area commands as part of a POP team
consisting of a sergeant, detective, two B-MET officers, two POP officers and a CSR
II crime prevention specialist. A computer with access to document imaging,
RMS/CAD and office automation is essential to maximize the efficiency and
effectiveness of the POP teams. The additional personnel assigned to the Community
Service Offices will need desks, chairs, telephones, tape recorders and other support
items to enable them to perform their assigned duties.

EFFICIENCY ENHANCEMENTS
$119,368
Document Imaqinq Enhancements:
(30) 17" color monitor upgrades for document
imaging computers
(15) Advance Information Systems concurrent
user license expansion
Event server software
$ 9,960
Total
$21,011
$ 5.397
$36,368
The department is currently implementing phase II of a document imaging project
designed to streamline and expedite the processing, assignment and investigation of
crime and traffic reports. The proposed hardware and software enhancements are
needed to ensure the timely processing on incoming crime and arrest reports, field
interviews and traffic citations; eliminate delays for detectives in accessing and
retrieving crime and arrest reports; and provide timely availability to stored police
reports to all department units.
The monitor upgrade cost is the difference between the cost of 15" monitors
purchased as part of the city's network upgrade project and 17" monitors needed in
the Detective Bureau and Records Bureau to support document imaging applications.
The increased screen size enables viewers to split the screen to view several pages
at a time or to complete RMS data entry while reading a report stored in the document
imaging system. The AIS concurrent user license expansion will allow additional users
to use the document imaging system simultaneously and is needed to support the
expansion of system users. The event server software fully automates the routing of
reports throughout the department and allows multiple routing of reports
simultaneously. The purchase of this software will generate substantial time savings
in staff time annually.
Delays in processing and providing crime related information endangers public safety
through the potential pre-arraignment release from custody of persons arrested on
felony charges pending the review of arrest reports by the District Attorney's Office.

Crime View Enhancements:
(1) Mid-size plotter
$ 4,000
In FY 1996/97 the department utilized asset forfeiture money to purchase an
automated "Crime View" hardware and software program which provides as a user
friendly method to analyze and map crime related data for field police officer problem
solving applications. Crime View access will be expanded and made available at the
area command offices in FY 1 997/98 using local law enforcement block funds. The
purchase of a mid-size plotter will enable the printing of larger plot maps for display
at community meetings.
Laptop Proiect Enhancements:
(30) Toshiba laptop computers, report
preparation software and carrying
cases
Unlimited user license renewal for
1998 for Penal Code, Vehicle Code,
SBPD Policy Manual and California
Peace Officers' Legal Sourcebook
Replacement laptop hard drives
$66,500
$ 7,000
Total
$ 5,500
$79,000
Our COPS More '96 grant provided 123 laptop computers for field police officers to
automate the police reportlarrest process and provide computerized reference material.
The 30 additional laptops will allow the department to equip each police officer and
Community Service Representative assigned as call responders with a laptop computer
and have a small quantity of spares to issue while units are being repaired. The
replacement laptop hard drives will be used to minimize the downtime associated with
repairs or replacement of hard drives that malfunction.
Using laptops and personal computers for report preparation will reduce the time spent
on preparing field reports. The time spent on completing data entry of crime and
arrest reports will be reduced in 1998, effective with the implementation of the
Tiburon RMS upgrade. The user licenses will allow the department to increase the
number of employees utilizing the automated reference books from 110 to unlimited
and cover the 1998 calendar year charges.

administrative overhead costs associated with the grant. The $2,074 represents
0.5% of this year's state allocation of $414,810.90. This expenditure will offset in
part the costs associated with procuring authorized equipment and software and
payroll processing expenses for overtime expenditures.
