The department is currently implementing phase I of a document imaging project
designed to streamline and expedite the processing, assignment and investigation of
crime and traffic reports. The Information Management Initiative and Document Imaging
Users subcommittee have identified a critical need for additional computers in the
Records and Detective Bureaus to attain the optimum benefit of the imaging system for
the department. The proposed hardware and software enhancements are needed to
ensure the timely processing of incoming crime and arrest reports, field interviews and
traffic citations; eliminate delays for detectives in accessing, retrieving and printing cases
assigned for follow up investigation and approach our goal of providing one computer
per each two employees assigned to the Detective Bureau; and provide timely availability
to stored police records to all department units.
Delays in processing and providing crime related information endanger 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.

The police department will be submitting a COPS More grant application to the U.S.
Department of Justice designed to make re-deployment of police officers for community
policing more effective. The intent of the grant is to leverage technology investments to
produce additional officer time saved to apply toward community policing. The local 25-
percent match of $63,613, if not waived, will be paid out of State COPS funds.
The department will be proposing to purchase laptop computers to issue to patrol officer
call takers during briefings to automate, streamline and speed up many of the clerical
and informational tasks currently performed by field officers. The laptops will be
equipped with word processing software enabling officers to complete police reports
currently completed by hand, complete macros and standardized narratives to reduce
report preparation time, and provide automated data bases of the Penal Code, Vehicle
Code, Legal Source Book, crime patterns and suspects, and referral services. Utilization
of these technology tools will make patrol officers more efficient and effective and
generate savings in officer time to dedicate to community policing efforts.
RES 96-290
Renovation/Furnishina Community Service Offices
$ 15,000
Renovation and furnishing our seven Community Service Offices will provide a
professional work environment for police officers to interact with the public. Costs include
essential office furnishings and equipment, computer equipment, stenciling and signage,
tape recorders for officers to dictate reports, and incidental costs.
Additional BMET Bicvcles
$ 2,900
Equipment Needed:
(2) Mountain Bicycles equipped for field police activities, maintenance,
replacement equipment and supplies
We currently have ten Problem Oriented Policing (POP) officers that utilize eight existing
police bicycles as highly mobile and visible enforcement tools. Two additional bicycles
plus maintenance, replacement equipment and supplies are needed to fully equip the
unit. A bicycle for each officer will maximize their deployment, effectiveness and
responsiveness to community problems.
Administrative Overhead
$ 2,114
AB 3229 (Brulte) authorizes the charging of 0.5% of the total COPS funds for city
administrative overhead costs associated with the grant. This expenditure will offset in
part the costs associated with procuring authorized equipment and software and payroll
process expenses for overtime expenditures.
Overtime Costs
$199,073
Overtime expenditures for department personnel, above approved General Fund
overtime appropriations, will support proactive, directed crime suppression programs; i.e.
saturation patrols following crimes with high community interest to prevent retaliation,
stakeouts and surveillances, and curfew enforcement programs utilizing a joint-agency,
regional curfew center concept.
Funds not otherwise expended as proposed will be allocated for additional overtime
expenditures. The department estimates that between $199,073 and $262,686 will be
available for overtime expenditures.

The San Bernardino Police Department's Patrol Division has a
staff of approximately 130 full time police officers/call takers.
These officers respond to approximately 180,000 calls for service
every year. They write in excess of 45,000 crime reports
annually. On average, less than 8 percent of these officers time
is unstructured. That means these busy officers have .less than
one hour a day for proactive enforcement/problem solving.
Goals and Objectives:
It is the goal of this grant proposal to identify a program to
provide an extra 7.80 man years to the current patrol force, from
the existing pool of personnel, by automating several daily crime
reporting tasks. This proposal has the following objectives:
Identify high volume daily tasks that consume time.
Select tasks that can be reduced with automation.
Identify the automation process to reduce these tasks.
A grant application committee was formed. The committee included
~6-290
a police captain and a police officer assigned to the Patrol
Division. The committee reviewed several different tasks
performed by officers. Using the experience of the officer, who
uses a laptop computer in the field, and the experience gained
from talking to other officers using laptop computers time values
were assigned to different tasks. The grant application
committee identified the following tasks that have been targeted
for field automation:
1. Field Arrest Reports
2. Driving Under The Influence Reports
3. Traffic Accident Reports
4. Crime Report Form Automation
5. Burglary Reports
6. Missing Persons Reports
7. Reference Material In The Field
8. Additional Time On The Beat
Solutions:
Field Arrest Reports
Patrol officers respond to approximately 4,300 requests each year
RES 96-290
from citizens who have arrested suspects. Typically, these are
usually security personnel from local businesses who have
arrested people who they have witnessed committing a crime.
Reports documenting these arrests are routine and must contain
specific documentation about the elements of the crime, the
arrest, the disposition of evidence and the disposition of the
suspect who was arrested. These events normally require about 90
minutes to complete.
This program plans to reduce the processing time of these events
by at least 20 minutes each. Using a laptop computer with a word
processing program, officers will use a template document to
prepare the forms necessary to document these arrests. With a
template document at least 20 minutes can be saved over the
manual method of preparing these reports. This will result in a
savings ox 1433 man hours per year.
Driving Under The Influence Reports
Patrol officers arrest approximately 500 intoxicated drivers
every year.
complete.
These lengthy reports require about 90 minutes to
RES 96-290
This program plans to reduce the processing time of these
reports, while increasing the quality of the reporting by
automating the production of the reports in a laptop computer
using a word processing program. Using a template document at
least 20 minutes can be saved over the manual method of preparing
these reports. This will result in a savings of 166 man hours
per year.
Traffic Collision Reports
There are over 3,700 traffic accidents documented every year in
San Bernardino. Traffic collision reports are prepared in a
manner prescribed by the California Highway Patrol.
The format
for these reports is always the same and is very detailed. It
can take 45 minutes to several hours to complete a collision
report.
This program plans to reduce the processing time of these
reports, while increasing the quality of the reporting by
automating the production of the reports in a laptop computer
using a word processing program. Using a template document as
much as 35 minutes can be saved on detailed reports. Because
there are several different types of collision reports time
RES 96-290
savings are different based on the type of report. The committee
identified that, conservatively, about 15 minutes could be saved
on non-injury traffic accidents, and about 35 minutes could be
saved on injury collision investigations along with hit-and-run
crime reports.
The combined reduction in paperwork will result
in a savings of 1658 man hours per year.
Crime Report Form Automation
The Police Department uses over 88 different forms and produces
in excess of 45,000 crime reports annually. By providing "front
line" Patrol Division officers with laptop computers, we can
automate several of our departmental forms. By automating these
forms we reduce some of the overhead associated with preparing
these documents. Such tools as "one time entry," templates and
"click and drag" technology will result in a savings of at least
932 man hours.
Burglary Reports
Officers produce approximately 3200 residential and commercial
burglary reports each year. Typically, these reports use a
standard format that describes elements of these specific crimes
RES 96-290
along with a summary of the loss. These events normally require
about 30 to 45 minutes to complete.
Providing a template document, we expect to reduce the processing
time of these reports by at least 10 minutes each.
This will
result in a savings of at least 533 man hours per year.
Missing Persons Reports
Approximately 1300 people (mostly adults) are reported missing to
the Police Department each year. Because of the possibility of
foul play, a series of specific questions must be covered in each
report. Like the other reports identified in this proposal,
these reports use a standard format that describes elements of
these specific events. These events normally require about 20-30
minutes to complete.
Providing template documents (report forms, narrative, and All
Points Bulletin forms), we expect to reduce the processing time
of these reports by at least 10 minutes each.
This will result
in a savings of at least 216 man hours per year.
Reference Material In The Field
RES 96-290
The State of California's Office of the Attorney General
publishes a "Legal Resource Guidebook For Police Officers." The
Police Department owns several copies of this large (500 .page)
document. However, it is too costly and logistically impossible
to manually update enough copies of this tool to give one to each
patrol officer.
The San Bernardino Police Department also publishes a 22 chapter
Standard Operating Procedures manual. Like the legal resource it
is just to complex a project to maintain personal copies of this
reference/guidelines book. Therefore, officers are encouraged as
necessary to return to the station and use these tools which are
available in patrol report writing areas. After polling our
officers, we feel it is conservative to say that our officers
return to the station on "follow-up, yet out of service" status
about twice a week to use these tools. While these trips might
be very brief, they cause an officer to leave his/her beat and
drive to the station.
The City of San Bernardino is 60 square miles in size. With 5
major team areas, it takes an average of 15 minutes to arrive at
the station from the mid-points of the beats.
~~ 7U-L7U
The State of California publishes, through a private vendor, a
computerized version of the Legal Resource Book. This
computerized additional is easily maintained and installed by a
computer user.
It provides guidelines for investigations,
elements of crimes and important recommendations for successful
report writing. The Attorney General and many District
Attorney's Offices encourage officers to use this book as a basic
part of their investigation library. This proposal would place a
copy of this book in each laptop computer issued to a patrol
officer.
Additionally, the vendor who provides this computerized guide
will provide a computerized copy of the Police Department's
Standard Operating Procedures manual. This computerized manual
will also be available on each laptop computer. With this
information available in the field at the scene of investigations
we effectively remove the need to return to the station to look
at these materials. With 130 sworn personnel within Patrol
Division and an average use of twice a week, we expend at least
3380 man hours traveling to the station from the respective
patrol beats. Removing the need to return to the station saves
over 3380 man hours per year.
Rt~ ~~-l~O
Additional Time On The Beat
Presently to effectively reduce report preparation time we allow
officers to dictate several of the reports referred to this is
proposal. Officers use dictation equipment supplies maintained
at the Police Department. By providing the officers with a
library of prepared template documents in a laptop computer we
reduce the number of times that an officer will need to actual
dictate a report in order to be time efficient.
We conservatively project that we will reduce at least one trip
per shift to the station to dictate reports by providing laptop
computers to officers. The 130 officers in the Patrol Division
work approximately 182 shifts per year. Using the same 15 minute
one-way travel figure we expect to save at least 5915 man hours
in travel time.

RES 96-290
REQUEST TO WAIVE LOCAL MATCH REQUIREMENTS
On August 7, 1996, the San Bernardino Police Department received written notification
of the approval of a partial waiver of the local match/maximum funds per officer hired
requirements for our COPS Universal Hiring Grant application. The city's local match
requirement was reduced to ten percent (10%).
The City of San Bernardino is requesting a waiver of the local match requirement for our
COPS More '96 Grant application due to extraordinary local fiscal hardship.
. Of the forty-eight cities in the Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernardino
counties), the City of San Bernardino ranks third lowest of assessed value per
capita--$28,405.00. This is a city's most important yardstick to determine it's
ability to fund essential services such as police and fire. As a comparison, the
City of Rancho Cucamonga which is a neighboring city has an assessed value of-
-$56,848.00 per capita.
. The average city in California can count on property taxes to produce twenty-two
percent (22%) of it's general fund revenue. San Bernardino's property taxes
contribute only eleven percent (11%). Sales taxes have remained stagnant over
the last five years.
,4
RES 96-290
.
Residents and businesses pay the highest utility tax in the Inland Empire, eight
and half percent (8.5%).
.
As a result of local taxing efforts, residents and businesses pay more taxes per
capita than their counterparts in surrounding communities.
The City's ability to fund essential services has been severely impacted by the recession,
which has not yet abated in this area. In addition, San Bernardino suffered a recent
closure of our largest employer, Norton Air Force Base, which eliminated 10,000 jobs
from the local economy. As a result of economic decline and very low property values,
thirty seven percent (37%) of San Bernardino's population is estimated to be on
government assistance. This rate is much higher than other cities in Southern California
and is no doubt higher than the national average.
In 1994, San Bernardino was ranked #1 in violent crime Der caDita for California
cities with populations over 100,000.
From 1990 to present, San Bernardino has made valiant and steadily increasing efforts
to maintain it's commitment to public safety by adding 51 police officer and 25 civilian
personnel positions for field operations.
. In 1990, a street lighting and sweeping district was approved adding an additional
$48.00 per year tax assessment to the owners of each single family home. This
g
RES 96-290
allowed for General fund revenues to be shifted to fund an additional twenty-three
police officers and twenty-five civilian positions.
. In 1994, the City received a Police Hiring Supplement grant for an additional
seventeen police officer positions. Local match funding was achieved by adding
graffiti removal to the assessment district, increasing the tax assessment to
$65.00 per household.
. In 1996, the City received a COPS Universal Hiring Grant for an additional eleven
police officer positions. Local match funding was reduced to ten percent (10%)
due to fiscal hardship.
. During the same time period 141 positions were eliminated within other city
departments. Seven civilian and five police officer positions assigned to
support operations within the Police Department were eliminated.
We anticipate that in March 1997, city voters will approve a police tax assessment
district needed to retain the additional federal grant and assessment district officers and
support personnel. However, local taxing efforts are exhausted and any new taxes do
not appear to be viable as California law requires a super majority (66.6%) of voter
approval.
We have turned to allied agencies, as well as the private sector for help. For the last
/'
V
RES 96-290
two years, the California Highway patrol and San Bernardino County Sheriff's
Department have assisted us in a joint task force in order to reduce the level of violence
on our city streets. During their limited term, these operations proved successful. It is,
however, unrealistic to expect this level of assistance will be sustained. The private
sector has contributed substantial sums in a variety of ventures to improve the "city
image" and address conditions which foster crime. Here too, the well is at risk of
running dry.
Despite a driving need for more policing, San Bernardino has been unable to apply for
grants which require matching funds. We respectfully request that the COPS Office
recognize the uniqueness of our situation, and approve a waiver of the local match
requirements. Without the ability to immediately address crime rates, San Bernardino
has little hope of attaining the economic recovery necessary to sustain ongoing crime
fighting efforts.

The San Bernardino Police Department's Patrol Division has a
staff of approximately l30 full time police officers/call takers.
These officers respond to approximately l80,000 calls for service
every year. They write in excess of 45,000 crime reports
annually. On average, less than 8 percent of these officers time
is unstructured. That means these busy officers have less than
one hour a day for proactive enforcement/problem solving.
Goals and Objectives:
It is the goal of this grant proposal to identify a program to
provide an extra 7.80 man years to the current patrol force, from
the existing pool of personnel, by automating several daily crime
reporting tasks. This proposal has the following objectives:
Identify high volume daily tasks that consume time.
Select tasks that can be reduced with automation.
I
Identify the automation process to reduce these tasks.
A grant application committee was formed. The committee included
.4-
RES 96-290
a police captain and a police officer assigned to the Patrol
Division. The committee reviewed several different tasks
performed by officers. Using the experience of the officer, who
uses a laptop computer in the field, and the experience gained
from talking to other officers using laptop computers time values
were assigned to different tasks. The grant application
committee identified the following tasks that have been targeted
for field automation:
l. Field Arrest Reports
2. Driving Under The Influence Reports
3. Traffic Accident Reports
4. Crime Report Form Automation
5. Burglary Reports
6. Missing Persons Reports
7. Reference Material In The Field
8. Additional Time On The Beat
Solutions:
.
Field Arrest Reports
Patrol officers respond to approximately 4,300 requests each year
i1
RES 96-290
from citizens who have arrested suspects. Typically, these are
usually security personnel from local businesses who have
arrested people who they have witnessed committing a crime.
Reports documenting these arrests are routine and must contain
specific documentation about the elements of the crime, the
arrest, the disposition of evidence and the disposition of the
suspect who was arrested. These events normally require about 90
minutes to complete.
This program plans to reduce the processing time of these events
by at least 20 minutes each. Using a laptop computer with a word
processing program, officers will use a template document to
prepare the forms necessary to document these arrests. With a
template document at least 20 minutes can be saved over the
manual method of preparing these reports. This will result in a
savings or 1433 man hours per year.
Driving Under The Influence Reports
Patrol officers arrest approximately 500 intoxicated drivers
.
every year. These lengthy reports require about 90 minutes to
complete.
c
I
RES 96-290
This program plans to reduce the processing time of these
reports, while increasing the quality of the reporting by
automating the production of the reports in a laptop computer
using a word processing program. Using a template document at
least 20 minutes can be saved over the manual method of preparing
these reports. This will result in a savings of 166 man hours
per year.
Traffic Collision Reports
There are over 3,700 traffic accidents documented every year in
San Bernardino. Traffic collision reports are prepared in a
manner prescribed by the California Highway Patrol.
The format
for these reports is always the same and is very detailed. It
can take 45 minutes to several hours to complete a collision
report.
This program plans to reduce the processing time of these
reports, while increasing the quality of the reporting by
automating the production of the reports in a laptop computer
.
using a word processing program. Using a template document as
much as 35 minutes can be saved on detailed reports. Because
there are several different types of collision reports time
D
RES 96-290
savings are different based on the type of report. The committee
identified that, conservatively, about l5 minutes could be saved
on non-injury traffic accidents, and about 35 minutes could be
saved on injury collision investigations along with hit-and-run
crime reports.
The combined reduction in paperwork will result
in a savings of 1658 man hours per year.
Crime Report Form Automation
The Police Department uses over 88 different forms and produces
in excess of 45,000 crime reports annually. By providing "front
line" Patrol Division officers with laptop computers, we can
automate several of our departmental forms. By automating these
forms we reduce some of the overhead associated with preparing
these documents. Such tools as "one time entry," templates and
"click and drag" technology will result in a savings of at least
932 man hours.
Burglary Reports
.
Officers produce approximately 3200 residential and commercial
burglary reports each year. Typically, these reports use a
standard format that describes elements of these specific crimes
€
RES 96-290
along with a summary of the loss. These events normally require
about 30 to 45 minutes to complete.
Providing a template document, we expect to reduce the processing
time of these reports by at least lO minutes each.
This will
result in a savings of at least 533 man hours per year.
Missing Persons Reports
Approximately l300 people (mostly adults) are reported missing to
the Police Department each year. Because of the possibility of
foul play, a series of specific questions must be covered in each
report. Like the other reports identified in this proposal,
these reports use a standard format that describes elements of
these specific events. These events normally require about 20-30
minutes to complete.
Providing template documents (report forms, narrative, and All
Points Bulletin forms), we expect to reduce the processing time
of these reports by at least lO minutes each. This will result
.
in a savings of at least 216 man hours per year.
Reference Material In The Field
p
I
. RES 96-290
The State of California's Office of the Attorney General
publishes a "Legal Resource Guidebook For Police Officers." The
Police Department owns several copies of this large (500 page)
document. However, it is too costly and logistically impossible
to manually update enough copies of this tool to give one to each
patrol officer.
The San Bernardino Police Department also publishes a 22 chapter
Standard Operating Procedures manual. Like the legal resource it
is just to complex a project to maintain personal copies of this
reference/guidelines book. Therefore, officers are encouraged as
necessary to return to the station and use these tools which are
available in patrol report writing areas. After polling our
officers, we feel it is conservative to say that our officers
return to the station on "follow-up, yet out of service" status
about twice a week to use these tools. while these trips might
be very brief, they cause an officer to leave his/her beat and
drive to the station.
The City of San Bernardino is 60 square miles in size. With 5
.
major team areas, it takes an average of l5 minutes to arrive at
the station from the mid-points of the beats.
(/-
I RES 96-290
The State of California publishes, through a private vendor, a
computerized version of the Legal Resource Book. This
computerized additional is easily maintained and installed by a
computer user. It provides guidelines for investigations,
elements of crimes and important recommendations for successful
report writing. The Attorney General and many District
Attorney's Offices encourage officers to use this book as a basic
part of their investigation library. This proposal would place a
copy of this book in each laptop computer issued to a patrol
officer.
Additionally, the vendor who provides this computerized guide
will provide a computerized copy of the Police Department's
Standard Operating Procedures manual. This computerized manual
will also be available on each laptop computer. With this
information available in the field at the scene of investigations
we effectively remove the need to return to the station to look
at these materials. With 130 sworn personnel within Patrol
Division and an average use of twice a week, we expend at least
3380 man hours traveling to the station from the respective
.
patrol beats. Removing the need to return to the station saves
over 3380 man hours per year.
/I
RES 96-290
Additional Time On The Beat
Presently to effectively reduce report preparation time we allow
officers to dictate several of the reports referred to this is
proposal. Officers use dictation equipment supplies maintained
at the Police Department. By providing the officers with a
library of prepared template documents in a laptop computer we
reduce the number of times that an officer will need to actual
dictate a report in order to be time efficient.
We conservatively project that we will reduce at least one trip
per shift to the station to dictate reports by providing laptop
computers to officers. The l30 officers in the Patrol Division
work approximately l82 shifts per year. Using the same 15 minute
one-way travel figure we expect to save at least 5915 man hours
in travel time.

system, or group of like items. In order
to be funded under COPS MORE '96,
the time saved must be devoted to com-
munity policing.
Example - The Hessville Police Depart-
ment plans to purchase four laptops under
COPS MORE '96 and has shown a time
savings of 3,648 hours/year (or 2 FIE) as
a result. With this time savings, all 20 of
the officers in Hessville will spend
approximately 180 hours in the coming
year working on a community policing
project to address one specific crime or
disorder problem on their beats. Each
officer will devote three to four hours
per week to their projects. The officers
will spend time regularly meeting with
community members to learn more
about the specific problems they decide
to focus on and to develop creative
approaches to addressing these problems
based on their understanding of them.
Officers also will work with community
members to evaluate the effectiveness of
the solutions implemented.

COMMUNITY POLICING ACTIVITIES
The San Bernardino Police Department plans to purchase 80 laptop
computers under COPS MORE '96 and has shown a time savings of
l4,233 hours/year (or 7.8 FTE) as a result. with this time
savings, all l30 police officers call takers assigned to the Patrol
Division will spend approximately l4,000 additional hours in the
coming year working on the department's Community Oriented Policing
and Problem Solving (COPPS) efforts within their assigned
geographical areas. These activities will be focused on projects
designed to abate chronic community crime or disorder problems
through a variety of enforcement, prevention and interagency
cooperative efforts.
The department has developed a unique, locally-based model of
community-oriented policing and problem solving centered around a
defined geographical Area Command deployment system with the
permanent assignment of officers to these areas. Our programs are
designed to improve police-citizen cooperation and communication,
to increase police and citizens' ability to innovatively solve
community problems, to promote the effective flow of information
both within and outside the department, and to improve our
responsiveness to members of the community.
Each officer will devote 2 to 4 additional hours per week to their
projects. Officers, with the assistance of our Crime Analysis
jJ.-
RES 96-290
Unit, will identify locations experiencing repeat calls for service
to eliminate or reduce crime and disorder problems. They will work
cooperatively with citizens, businesses, community leaders and
local governmental/community-based support agencies to identify,
prioritize and address crime and disorder problems, to promote
synergism of their collective efforts and to measure the impact on
crime and fear. Officers will spend more time meeting with area
residents, Neighborhood Watch groups and Business Watch groups and
coordinating the efforts of their organizations. They will have
additional time available to assist in crime prevention and
community policing training efforts.
