CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL
ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECI'
Resolution of the City of San Bernardino authorizing the Police Department to apply for a
California Office of Traffic Safety Enhancement to San Bernardino TrcifJic Enforcement Program II (SIEP-
II) Grant and, if awarded, authorizing the expenditure of grant funds in accordance with the Grant
Expenditure Plan.
BACKGROUND
The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) distributes federal funding, apportioned to
California under the National Highway Safety Act of the 2151 Century (TEA-21). OTS grants are
designed to address traffic safety priority areas that include police traffic services, alcohol and
other drugs, occupant protection, pedestrian and bicycle safety, emergency medical services and
roadway safety. Grants may be assistance in mitigating traffic safety program deficiencies,
expansion of an ongoing activity or development of a new program.
The City of San Bernardino is the recipient of a San Bernardino Traffic Enforcement Program II
(STEP-II) grant which is a comprehensive traffic safety program that includes DU!, speed
enforcement and bicycle / pedestrian safety programs. The STEP II grant provides $215,424 in
state funding for the department to accomplish the various traffic enforcement and education
grant objectives between 12/1/04 and 1/31/06.
The application for an Enhancement to San Bernardino Traffic Enforcement Program II (STEP-
II) grant will build upon and enhance the success of the STEP-II grant by providing funding to
meet the following major objectives:
1. To acquire and place into service a DUI/Occupant Protection support trailer and support
vehicle by December 31, 2005.
2. To stock in advance and deliver the DUI/Occupant Protection support trailer to all DUI
checkpoints and all Occupant Protection checkpoints held between January 1 2006 and
September 30, 2007.
3. Using the Police Reserve Unit, conduct 20 Occupant Protection that will focus on enforcing
seatbelt and child restraint laws, while educating motorists about the dangers of not using
seatbelts and child safety seats, while also locating drivers who habitually operate vehicles
while their driver's license is suspended or revoked. Ten checkpoints will be held between
October 1, 2005 and September 30, 2006. Another 10 checkpoints will be held between
October 1, 2006 and September 30, 2007.
4. Using the Police Reserve Unit, conduct 4 Red Light (VC 21453a) saturation patrols within
the City of San Bernardino. Two saturation patrols will be held between October 1, 2005
. ~

..
and September 30, 2006. Another 2 saturation patrols will be held between October 1, 2006
and September 30, 2007.
5. Using the Police Reserve Unit, conduct 2 DUI and Occupant Protection warrant details that
focus on outstanding DUI and Occupant Protection warrants within the City of San
Bernardino. One will be conducted between October 1,2005 and September 30, 2006 and
the other will be held between October 1,2006 and September 30, 2006.
6. To establish a partnership with other area agencies and community based organizations to
conduct awareness about red light violations programs and occupant safet~
laws/programs at both the neighborhood and community level by June 30 , 2006.
7. To conduct at least 2 "Stakeout" operations that employ reserve police officers to observe
multiple DUI offenders and probationers with suspended or revoked driver licenses by
September 30,2007. If the offender is observed, they are arrested / cited.
8. Use reserve police officers to help "Stakeout" offenders on the Traffic Bureau's HOT
(Habitual Offehder Tally) Sheet program. This program targets the worst of the worst
(e.g., 4 or 5 time DUI arrestees on probation).
9. To ensure that a minimum of one sworn reserve officer will complete NHTSA-Certified
Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) "Train the Trainer" training by September
30th, 2006.
10. To ensure that a minimum of 10 sworn San Bernardino Police Department reserve
personnel conducting DUI enforcement with grant funding have received NHTSA
Certified Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) training by September 30th, 2006.
II. To develop an "Operational Plan" to establish the method of operation and the policies
applicable to carry out the grant program by December 3151, 2005.
12. To conduct one DUI training session for sworn reserve enforcement personnel by January
315" 2006 and an additional session by January 315" 2007. Reserve officers from other
local reserve units will be invited to attend this training at no cost.
13. To measure the grants impact on crime by tracking non-traffic related arrests that initiate
from DUI checkpoints and/or grant supported activities or operations.
14. To conduct a press conference or media event by December 3151, 2005 to kick-off or
publicize the grant. OTS will be notified of the grant kick-off event and subsequent grant
related press releases.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There will be no impact on the City's General Fund. The Police Department will be requesting a
total of$296,417.81 (non-matching funds) for the Enhancement to STEP II grant program. These
funds will be used to cover staffing requirements for the program and purchase the above
equipment.

STEP-l! Enhancement and Reserve Traffic Services Proposal
Proposal Summary: (Summarize project goals and objectives. Maximum 750 characters--about 100 words)
This proposal seeks to reduce the time officers in our STEP-II DUI program spend at DUI checkpoint/command posts processing
arrestees by providing adequate tools to manage arrestees, evidence, and arrest reports in the field. Additionally, the proposal seeks to
fund enough overtime for sworn supervisors and advisors of the sworn reserve officer program so the reserve unit can host 26 unique
Occupant Protection events (13 annually.) Besides DUI enforcement, these events will focus on Occupant Protection violations,
removing drivers who habitually drive on suspended/revoked licenses, arresting people with DUI warrants, and red light running
enforcement. Over 3900 hours of free resene officer hours (value: $205,472.00) are included.

PROBLEM STATBIENT SUMMAR\':
The existing OTS funded STEP-II program has been successful, yet there are critical
enhancements needed to dramatically improve the quality of the program. The existing program
lacks adequate tools and equipment for personnel to manage arrestees, evidence, and reports in
the field. Additionally, the Police Department's sworn reserve officer program was forced to
stop their monthly Occupant Safety checkpoint program in Fiscal Year 2004-2005 because there
is no funding for the full time sworn supervisor/advisors for the program. This proposal seeks
funding to resolve the logistical problems STEP-II has encountered while funding 26 additional
C) unique Occupant Safety and Impaired Driver events (13 annually for 1\\'0 years).
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
The City of San Bernardino is nestled in the heart of the Inland Empire of Southern California.
This region has seen an explosion of growth in recent years and is consistently rated as one of the
fastest growing regions in the country. As a result of this gro\\1h, traffic congestion and traffic
related problems have increased substantially in recent years with minimal improvement in the
local infrastructure to deal with the increase in traffic. Additionally, the City of San Bernardino
is constantly battling high crime rate numbers. As a result. our ability to dedicate the necessary
manpower resources for traffic problems has been impossible.
DUI STEP-II Enforcement Loe:istical Problems:
The San Bernardino Police Department is hosting an OTS funded DUl Impaired Driver
enforcement program called "STEp.II." The Police Department is aggressively working to reach
all of the goals of this program. However, we have learned that we could improve the program
with some essential equipment.
~
The program needs a DUI Occupant Protection trailer to supplement DUI and Occupant Safety
event operations. An existing command post vehicle is used for dispatch support, but it is not
able to support our needs for report writing, evidence collection, supplies, and arrestee
management. To continue our success and improve our impact on DUl and Occupant Safety
enforcement, we need to resolve the following logistical problems:
C)
C)
()
'" ~H'" '" .,' ""[ , ''''''..<''''.,__~.~ _
I. Supply Storage
All of our STEP-II DUI Enforcement and Occupant Protection event supplies are stacked
in a group of milk crates. These crates must be carried out of the Traffic Bureau and
loaded into the trunks of patrol cars and personal vehicles for transportation to the event
location. Unpacking at the start and repacking at the end of an event uses 45 minutes of
enforcement time. '
2. Arrestee Management
Managing arrestees at the DUI and Occupant Protection checkpoint command posts
requires a full time police officer. Yet, we still do not have resources such as.a field
lavatory, or a designated location for arrestee property, and evidence. Five or six patrol
cars need to be used to house 10-12 arrestees. Officers, clerks, and arrestees have to
share the limited number of chairs and tables that can be brought to the scene in patrol
cars.
Hand written citations require data entry by the Police Department and by the Superior
Court. Because of budgetary reductions, the data entry workload atthe Police
Department is prioritized focusing on in-custody arrests before other types of arrests and
reports. It can take over two months for a citation to reach the Superior Court. This
delay causes confusion at the court and complicates the appearance process for DUI
arrestees and Occupant Protection violators when an initial court date must be changed.
3. Evidence Collection
Today, most evidence collected at the scene is blood evidence. There is no designated
place for a field nurse to set up for rapid collections. The nurse needs to move around the
tables while other aspects of the booking process are completed. Arrestee property and
blood evidence must be locked in patrol vehicles for control and retention.
We do not have a field breath testing device of any type. Officers must drive about 10
minutes from the field checkpoints to the Police Station for breath tests. On average, it
takes an officer 10 minutes to get from the middle of each patrol beat to the station. This
time erodes the time-that an officer could be out looking for DUI violations.
Police Reserve Occupant Protection Proeram Problems:
The San Bernardino Police Department operates a sworn reserve officer program. This unit
consists of about 25 talented men and women who seek to provide a unique style of community
service to the City of San Bernardino. The unit has a history of conducting large scale Occupant
Protection checkpoints that include exposing police academy cadets to traffic enforcement and
Occupant Protection laws while focusing on DUI Impaired Driver enforcement, removing
drivers who habitually drive on suspended or revoked licenses while educating the public to the

importance of using seat belts. In 2002, the reserve unit conducted 10 Occupant Protection
checkpoints (donating over 1400 man hours to these events) that yielded the following results:
20 DUI Arrests
200 Vehicle Impounds and Citations for Driving on a Suspended or Revoked License
400 Seat Belt Violation Citations
50 Child Safety Seat Violation Citations
I Occupied Stolen Vehicle Recovered
7000+ Vehicles Passed Through Our Occupant Protection Checkpoints
The size of these events requires supervision from full time police resources. Due to budgetary
reductions all overtime for the supervision of these events was eliminated in Fiscal Year 2003-
2004, effectively ending these essential Occupant Protection and Impaired Driver programs for
over 18 months.
After a reserve Occupant Protection checkpoint, over 100 citations can flood the Police
Department's Records Bureau, in addition to the daily citations issued by members of the
uniformed Patrol Division. Like DUI citations, these citations must have data entry done to them
before the can be sent to the Superior Court for processing. This extra work overloads the
Records Bureau's busy post-event processing.

PROPOSED SOLUTION:
This proposal offers the following solutions to enhance traffic safety in the City of San
Bernardino:
DUIIOccupant Protection Trailer:
The City of San Bernardino needs a multifunction DUI/Occupant Protection trailer to improve
DUI checkpoint and Occupant Protection checkpoint operations. The DUIIOccupant trailer will
allow the Traffic Bureau and the Reserve Unit to prepare in advance of their traffic safety events.
and will allow them to transport a large amount of supplies, enforcement materials, and
educational items to the scene. It will also provide organized work space for the collection of
DUI chemical evidence and will support the use of field breath evidence testing equipment.
Additionally, the trailer will provide secure space to store arrestee property. The trailer will
provide lighting and electrical support for all DUI and traffic services checkpoints; thereby,
increasing safety and efficiency. Specialty markings on the trailer will emphasize Occupant
Protection slogans and Impaired Driver warning messages.
Because we do not have a field breath testing device of any time. Officers must drive about 10
minutes to and from the field checkpoints to the Police Station for breath tests. On average, it
o
C>
I?
.- - ~ .~---
takes an officer 10 minutes to get from the middle of each patrol beat to the station. Providing
two field breath testing devices will allow officers to collect DUI evidence at the checkpoint
without transporting people to the Police Station. This will add enforcement time to each event
by reducing travel time and waiting time at the City Jail.
Police Reserve Occupant Protection Program:
The proposal seeks to provide overtime funding to host at least 26 Occupant Protection
checkpoint events. The funding will fund supervisory personneL advisors, and sworn officers to
oversee and assist the 25 members of the sworn police reserve unit as they perform these
valuable traffic safety education and enforcement programs. The reserve unit will donate about
3900 man hours to these events. This time, if funded by OTS, would cost an additional
$205,472.00. In addition to servicing the community, the reserve unit expects to prepare a
documentation kit for reserve units and basic police academies throughout the State of California
to use as a model. This model kit \...ill made available to other law enforcement agencies to
encourage similar programs across California.
During Y ear-I, the reserve unit will host a checkpoint event where regional reserve units are
invited to come and learn how to host a successful Occupant Protection checkpoint event. On-
scene training will be provided regarding Occupant Protection laws, Child Safety Restraint
laws/issues, DUL and licensing laws. A Year-2 checkpoint event will also serve as a training
event for other reserve units to come and learn the process. The events will be publicized with
local media and with the statewide reserve officer's association (California Reserve Peace
Officer's Association) magazine.
Under a pilot project. the Police Department purchased a software package to create citations on
electronic handheld citation devices. The Police Department is currently using one of these
devices. By adding eight more of these handheld devices we will be able to create all citations
issues for DUI arrests at checkpoints and all other checkpoint citations electronically. This
process will automate the entry of all DUI/Occupant Protection checkpoint citations at the Police
Department. The Superior Court will be able to electronically transfer DUI/Occupant Protection
citation data from the Police Department. Citation information will be available to the Superior
Court almost overnight.
PERFORMA:'I1CE MEASURES:
Goal(s)
1.
Reduce combined setup and shut down time by 45 minutes at each DUI/Occupant
Protection checkpoint thus making officers a\'ailable for more enforcement at each event by
December 31, 2005.

time by 10 minutes per arrest at each OUI/Occupant Protection checkpoint thus making
officers available for more education and enforcement at each event bv December 31, 2005.
Reduce the number of outstanding DUI and Occupant Protection wa;rants in the CitY of
San Bernardino by 10 percent by September 30, 2006.

BUDGET NARRATIVE
Personnel:
P-3 Police Sergeant (Reserve Program Coordinator). This supervisor is essential at all large
scale reserve operations. This field level supervisor has specific training (required by Ca. .
POST) to lead a group of reserve police officers. Because there are approximately 20-25
reserve officers at each e\'ent, a supervisor of this level is essential.
P-2 Police Detective (Reserve Program Advisor). Designated detectives serve as advisors to
the reserve program. Because of the large scale of the reserve traffic services checkpoints,
one detective serves as a safety officer monitoring traffic and roadway contacts while the
other detective serVes as a workflow coordinator off the street in the area designated for
enforcement contacts. Officers are divided into teams of 10-15 and each group reports to a
detective.
P-l Police Officer. These officers are normally motorcycle officers assigned to provide
traffic law assistance. serve as contact officers in the roadway, and act as "ready" officers in
case a vehicle flees the scene illegally.
Dispatcher-II. One dispatcher is assigned to the communications center to handle all event
radio traffic. The other dispatcher works at the scene providing driver history check, vehicle
registration information, and other information to officers and citizens volunteers inside the
checkpoint scene area. The on-site dispatcher coordinates the statistical count for the
sergeant and places telephone calls as needed by officers from the scene. This method helps
prevent "communications ccnter overload" during large checkpoint and saturation events.
Corrections Officer (Jailer). One contractual civilian jailer will be used at the scene of all
DUI (Under STEP-II) and Traffic Services checkpoints to manage all arrestees. This frees a
police officer for enforcement work and makes the team more efficient. The jailer also
coordinates the transport and lodging of arrestees from the scene to the City Jail.
Travel:
Travel funds will cover costs of attending state OTS conferences and the required SFST
train-the-trainer course. The reserve officer attending this class does not receive a salary and -
does so as a volunteer sworn officer.
Contractual Sen'ices:
Blood draw services for DUl evidence can not be provided by San Bernardino Police
Department personnel. These services are provided under contract by trained local medical
personnel.

Equipment:
DUI/Occupant Protection Trailer
This unique, highly specialized. trailer is designed specifically to support DUI and Occupant
Protection checkpoint events. The 18 foot trailer contains a secure lavatory for arrestee use.
There are evidence collection areas. an area for medical collection of evidence to take place
under controlled and secure conditions, and there is electrical power for the trailer. Exterior
lighting provides the ability to work around the trailer at night. Storage space is provided for
all of the necessary equipment to conduct checkpoints, including tables, chairs, and benches
for arrestees.
DUIIOccupant Protection Support Vehicle
This unmarked, non-patrol vehicle will be used to move the DUI/Occupant Protection Trailer
from point-to-point and will be used to support operations while checkpoints and other
events that use the trailer are occurring. The vehicle will be used to transport volunteers and
other civilian personnel who can not drive marked enforcement vehicles to the scene. There
is no existing vehicle in the Police Department inventory that can move this size trailer,
except for our command post vehicle which might be needed during an emergency away
from the checkpoint event.
DUI Point of Arrest Evidential Testing Systems
These field level evidential testing systems will reduce all travel time and delays in collecting
DUI breath evidence. The collection can be done at the checkpoint immediately after the
arrest. The time saved can be focused back on enforcement. This type of field collection
aids the prosecution of DUI cases because of the timely correction of evidence.
Handheld Citation Devices
These devices will connect with the Police Department's existing pilot citation device
system. Electronic citations can be written quickly and neatly at the scene with these
devices. Information collected is automatically uploaded to the Police Department's Records
Management System eliminating almost all data entry. The Superior Court is able to
electronically download citation data almost immediately after each gUI/Occupant
Protection event.
Other Direct Costs:
Promotional Items
These items will be used to reinforce the importance of sober driving, using seat belts, and
reporting habitual offenders who continue to drive on suspended or revoked licenses.
