CITY OF SAN BERNCRDINO - REQUEST OR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
A Public Housing Drug Elimination Program Grant, authorized by the Department
of Hous i ng and Urban Development (HUD), has been extended to the Hous i ng
Authori ty of the County of San Bernardi no (HACSB). In the grant appl i cati on,
the HACSB has i dentifi ed two pub 1 i c housi ng compl exes, the Wi 1 son/Medi ca 1
Center Project (Ca 1. 19-3) and the Waterman Gardens Project (Ca 1. 19-2) wi th
si gnifi cant drug acti vi ty, drug related crime problems and an increased sense
of insecurity on the part of the resident families.
The grant allocates moni es to the HACSB to employ a Drug El imi nati on
Coordinator and reimburse the City of San Bernardino for police personnel,
specifically one (1) Police Officer and one (1) Police Records Clerk, to assist
directly in the program. The Police Officer provides directed and specific
patrol at both Cal. 19-2 and Cal. 19-3 during the critical hours that illicit
drug and crime activity normally takes place. The Police Records Clerk assists
in neighborhood prevention and awareness programs and man the Community Service
Office, which the HACSB provides in Cal. 19-2.
HUD grant monies would continue to reimburse the City 100% of the salary and
benefits for the Police Officer and Police Records Clerk for 6 months,
effective 7/01/92 through 12/31/92, with the possibility of an extended year of
funding.
HACSB will also continue to lease a fully equipped police vehicle with grant
monies, and fund a fully operational Community Service Office in Cal. 19-2.
This grant provides the police department with additional personnel and
equipment to address crime and drug problems in two residential areas for the
City impacted by drug related crimes with some additional allocation of City
moni es. HUD and the Ci ty wi 11 conti nue to provi de the same benefits as duri ng
the first year of the grant. An outline of these costs is included in this
report.
During the time the police department has been involved with the HUD grant a
significant amount of work is identifiable through monthly statistical
computation. Officer Van Rossum averages four (4) arrests, five (5) S.M.A.S.H.
F.I. 's, and 65 positive citizen contacts per month. PRC Lang averages about 45
phone and walk-in reports per month as well as remaining active in the Tenant
Advisory Committee, the Drug Elimination Program, teen meetings, and
neighborhood watch. She also types confidential correspondence, weekly trainee
reports (dept. wi de), and enters backlog report i nformati on into the computer
at the rate of approximately 200 per month.
Probably the most significant though is the positive response from the citizens
who live in the two areas served by the grant. The officer assigned has time
to interact wi th citi zens whi ch hel ps them understand thei r pol i ce department
and to feel less isolated from law enforcement.
