Document Imaaina Enhancements
$ 70,112

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.
Local Match - COPS Universal Hirina Grant
$ 70,000
The Police Department has received approval for the COPS Universal Hiring Grant for
11 additional police officers submitted in July 1996 to the U.~ Department of Justice,
Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. The City's local match has been
reduced to 10-percent or approximately $70,000 in year one of the grant.

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--291
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.
AGGREGATE TOTAL
$422,812
