Selective Traffic Enforcement Program
Brief Description
To reduce the number of persons killed and injured in crashes involving
alcohol, speed, red light running, and other primary collision factors, "best
practice" strategies will be conducted on an overtime basis. The funded
strategies may include: DUI/driver license checkpoints to deter potential drunk
drivers and to educate the public; DUI saturation patrols to apprehend drunk
drivers; "HOT Sheet" program and court stings. The program may also
concentrate on speed, aggressive driving, seat belt enforcement, intersection
operations with disproportionate numbers of traffic crashes and special
enforcement operations encouraging motorcycle safety. These strategies are
designed to earn media attention thus enhancing the overall deterrent effect.

PROVIDE DETAILED ANSWERS TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS AS PART OF THE PROBLEM
STATEMENT:
1. Describe current traffic unit complement (number of personnel and classifications). If applicable,
describe how the size of the traffic unit has fluctuated in the past five years and why.
In 2006, the Traffic Unit grew from 1 sergeant, 1 detective, 10 motor officers, 2 senior office
assistants and 1 community service officer II to 2 sergeants, 1 detective, 14 motor officers, 1
community service officer II, and 1 red light camera officer. As time progressed, the red light camera
officer transitioned into a commercial enforcement officer and a new red light camera officer was
added to the unit.
In 2010, financial woes took their toll on the City and budget cuts occurred. Approximately 25 officer
positions were cut from budget and it is anticipated that approximately that same number of
additional officer cuts will occur in the near future. The city has extended golden handshakes to
eligible employees and is taking other measures to avoid laying off officers. Officers have taken an
approximate 10% pay cut through concessions and non-sworn personnel have been furloughed four
hours per week as a 10% salary savings measure. In addition, specialty units such as the Traffic Unit
have been evaluated and re-organized to ensure the department's core functions can be carried out
with fewer officers and support personnel.
The red light camera officer retired unexpectedly and has not been replaced. With the current
budget shortfalls and controversy over red light camera enforcement, it is possible that the red light
camera program will be dissolved in the near future. If the program remains, it is probable that the
red light camera officer position will become a non-sworn position.

Exhibit "A"
PROBLEM STATEMENT AND METHOD OF PROCEDURE
GRANTS MADE EASY - STEP OVERTIME ONLY
To date, as a result of budget cuts, the Traffic Unit has lost 1 motor officer position and our 1
commercial enforcement officer position. Our traffic unit is currently comprised of 2 sergeants, 1
detective, 12 motor officers, 1 community service officer supervisor, 1 community service officer II
and 2 senior office assistants.
In approximately May 2010 the City disolved its Faciiities Management Division as a cost savings
measure. The City's Parking Enforcement Program which had been a part of that division transferred
to the Traffic Unit of the Police Department at that time. Traffic unit personnel increased through
the addition of 1 administrative analyst II, 1 administrative assistant, 3 full-time parking
enforcement officers and 1 part-time parking enforcement officer. Most of these new employees
continue to be primarily dedicated to the parking enforcement functions of the City. However, the
administrative analyst II is currently being re-assigned to the department's budget office as part of
the department's reorganization. The Traffic Unit's community service officer supervisor is taking
over the administrative analyst II's parking enforcement supervisory duties and other office
personnel are now assisting with parking enforcement customer service.
The staffing and program changes coupled with furloughs and other budgetary constraints have
caused an increased workload on the Traffic Unit's office staff. Their ability to meet the
administrative demands of their jobs has diminished in part due to the fewer number of hours they
are working. The impact of these changes was punctuated recently when the newest OTS Rankings
were distributed. A review of the statistics associated with the rankings revealed that a gross under-
reporting had occurred in part due to the new time constraints. The Traffic Unit is currently working
with SWITRS personnel to ensure that all missing reports get submitted to them. However, it is our
understanding that it is iikely that the published OTS Rankings will not change to reflect the
additional data being submitted.
A comparison of our in-house data and OTS Ranking data is shown below. Please note that the
