BACKGROUND Recently, Governor Schwarzenegger led a cooperative state-wide effort to create the California Gang Reduction and Prevention Program (CALGRPP), which has marshaled more than $48 million in additional state and federal funds for suppression, intervention, and prevention strategies. Under the CALGRPP umbrella, the California Highway Patrol is authorized to assist local law enforcement through 90-day deployments in local High Intensity Gang Areas (HlGA). San Bernardino County is one of 19 counties identified by the California Department of Justice as having jurisdictions that rank in the top 25 for homicides per capita. Historically, summer months are time periods where cities nationwide experience an increase in all crime types, particularly violent crime. The City of San Bernardino is no exception and has experienced such increases in the past. Beginning in 1994 cooperative partnerships between the San Bernardino Police Department and the California Highway Patrol have been successful in reducing criminal activity and the adverse affects of crime throughout our community. As a result of past success, San Bernardino Police Chief Michael A. Billdt and commanders of the Inland Division of the California Highway Patrol have agreed to work in tandem for a joint cooperative effort beginning July 18th, 2007, and ending October 6th, 2007. The proposed collaborative team is named CITE V (Community Interagency Training and Enforcement). The primary assistance to be provided during this 90-day program will be for the augmentation of traffic law enforcement services. This will include increased levels of high-visibility patrol within the City of San Bernardino to enhance compliance with the provisions of the California Vehicle Code, and thus decrease the spillover of criminal activity onto the roadways upon which the California Highway Patrol has primary jurisdiction. Working together, teams of officers from the San Bernardino Police Department and California Highway Patrol will also focus on High Intensity Gang Areas in the City of San Bernardino. The California Highway Patrol will commit six officers and one supervisor with the necessary supporting equipment for the duration of the 90-day agreement. Support will be provided four days a week between the hours of 1600 and 0200 hours, from Wednesday through Saturday of each week. California Highway Patrol personnel will be deployed along with San Bernardino Police Department personnel in designated areas of the city to reduce crime through high- visibility patrol, traffic enforcement, and other suppression strategies. The commitment by the San Bernardino Police Department is to deploy from existing resources eight police officers and one Sergeant to equal the amount committed by the California Highway Patrol. e e e California Highway Patrol personnel will be governed by their agency's policies and procedures related to the documentation of accidents, arrests, and other on-duty incidents. San Bernardino Police Department personnel will be governed by the policies and procedures of the San Bernardino Police Department. FINANCIAL IMPACT None.
