Subject: Report to The Mayor and Common Council on various crime statistics. Dept. Council Office Date: July 6th, 2005 ORIGINAL Synopsis of Previous Council Action: During the 2005-2006 budget hearing on June 16th, Police Chief Garrett Zimmon was asked for Arrest Statistics. No action was taken. Recommended Motion: That the Council receive and file the information Chief Zimmon will present at the Council meeting of July 5th, 2005. Contact Person: Councilwoman McCammack Phone: 5068 Supporting Data Attached: Formal Written Request Ward: All FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: Amount: N/A Source: (Acct. No.) (Acct. DescriDtion) Finance: Council Notes: Agenda Item No. 7/5'J05 3/ "~.m... ",.'~~- ,'''-m~'"- ,. -- - Formal Written Request: During the June 16th budget hearing, the issue was raised about crime and arrest statistics as the Council discussed hiring additional police officers and how the new officers would be implemented. When Police Chief Zimmon was directly asked by Councilman Kelley, "The Chief is here. Let's ask him. Chief Zimmon, have arrests gone down? Chief Zimmon said he did not come prepared to answer that question. The Chi~f said, however, they are not significantly down, but they're probably very close to last year's arrests. Because it is important that the Mayor and Common Council, as well as the public, are aware of the current crime and arrest statistics, I have formally requested that Police Chief Zimmon present to the Council, at the July 6th Council meeting, various statistics as delineated below. These statistics, I have been told, have already been reported to the F.B.I., and that all of these requested statistics are public records according to State Law. It is necessary to be fully informed about the increase or decrease in crime over the past six years, so that when the 10 new officers that the Mayor and Common Council approved in the 2005-2006 budget are hired they can be more effectively deployed. 1.

Fax: 909.384.5105 www.cLsan-bernardino.ca.us 06-30-05 To: Chief Garrett Zimmon From: Councilwoman Wendy McCammack Dear Chief, At the June 16th Budget hearing you had not received prior notification and therefore you were not prepared to present the arrest information requested. I have compiled a list of questions that I would appreciate you being prepared to answer with the actual statistics requested. As you know, I am very concerned about crime and law enforcement in both the ih Ward and the City as a whole. I am not satisfied with funding only ten new officers in the 2005-2006 budget. I will work diligently with the Mayor and my colleagues to get the other fifteen officer positions that will give our Police Department the necessary personnel to solve and prevent the types of crime our City has suffered from over the past few years. I respectfully request that you make a presentation to the Mayor and Council at the July 5th Council meeting. It will be a supplemental agenda item. I would appreciate it if you would provide the information in the format requested as contained in the attached agenda item and staff report. If you will not be available on July 5th, could you please have another member of your command staff make the presentation? cc: Mayor Judith Valles City Attorney Jim Penman City Administrator Fred Wilson , ~',-",",,,,' " ~,~"", ""'~~"=~.," .',-- Subject: ~ . -" ..:.;""~_._;~---;'_.-."~~_.~~ ","',;; :J~".l~J]'.
