ABC USE ONLY Phone: (909)384-5694 Fax: (909)384-5721 E, Mail Ad Sign rg 2011-98 Exhibit A SCOPE OF WORK Summarv: One of the premier agencies in the Inland Empire, the San Bernardino Police Department is recognized at the state and national levels for award winning community oriented policing programs. The Departmcnt continually strives in its commitment to the prevention of crime, the identification and apprehension of those who violate the rights of others, the preservation of peace within the community, and a safe environment for its citizens, The primary endeavor of the SBPD is to provide the most cfficient and effective use of available resources, in order to afford its residents the most desirable of municipal policc services. The Department is currently in the midst of a reduction in force from a peak of over 350 sworn officers down to 298 sworn officers by the end of the current fiscal ycar, 2010/20 I 1. The Department is currently authorized to field 181 professional staff employees. The City of San Bernardino encompasses over 59 square miles and is the largest, most populous city within the County of San Bernardino. Geographically, the city is divided into four District Commands, each staffed with a police lieutenant and a complement of police officers and professional staff. The District Commands are responsible for identifying, tracking, and addressing problems within the community. The Dcpartment is divided into three Divisions: Patrol, Investigations, and Administrative Services. The Investigations division is dividcd into thrce Bureaus: Gencral Investigations, Specialized Enforcement, and Gangs/Violcnt Crime. The Specialized Enforcement Bureau includes both the Vice and Narcotics units, as well as oversight for all local, state, and federal joint task force officers. The Vice Unit is responsible for the enforcement of ABC related issues throughout the entire city, as well as the investigation of vice-related crimes such as prostitution, massage parlors, gambling, and animal flghting. In addition, the Vice Unit is also involved in the review of all business registrations for on-sale and off- sale retail outlets. In 20 I 0, our officers responded to 95,280 calls for police services. A total of 10,592 crime reports were taken, including 1,625 violent crimes and 8,967 property crimes. There were a total of 12,093 adult arrests made (9,774 bookings / 2303 citation releases /16 releases) and 1,154 juvenile arrests (382 bookings / 771 citation releases /1 release). The most recent Morgan Quitno Awards report listed San Bernardino as the 24th Most Dangerous city in the country and 4th Most Dangerous city in the state of Califomia. The CQ Press released a report in 2010 listing San Bernardino as the 34th Most Dangerous city in the country, 5th most dangerous in the state, and most dangerous in the surrounding region. The next closest city in the region stood at 153'", with a crime index score 100 points lower. Thc City of San Bernardino has an estimated population of 209,924 people. According to the 2010 US Census report, the city's population is composed as follows: San Bernardino S. B. County 60.0% 49.1 % 15.0'X, 8.9% 4.0% 6.3% 28.4% 21.6% Hispanic/Latino (of any race) Black/ African American Asian Other California 37.6tyo 6.2% 13.0% 17,0% Approximately 47% of the housing within the city is Renter-occupied, which is substantially higher than the national average. The median family income (in 2009 inflation-adjusted dollars) is only $42,173, compared to the national average of $62,363. The per capita income is only $15,469 compared to the 2011-98 Exhibit A SCOPE OF WORK national average of $27,041. In San Bernardino, 20.7% of families and 26.1 % of individuals live below the poverty level. The U.S. averages are 9.9% and 13.5% respectively. Unemployment in the San Bernardino metropolitan area is estimated at 13.9'10, well above both the national and state averages. There are currently a total of 357 retail ABC licenses within the city of San Bernardino, including 187 oft:sale licenses and 170 on-sale licenses. Based upon ABC calculations, the number of "allowed" licenses by type are: On:sale beer and wine (type 20) - 84; Off-sale general (type 21) - 84; On-sale-. 105. This is based upon the current population estimate 01'209,924 and not the previous (2000) recorded census population of 185,401. This rcpresents the highcst number and concentration of ABC licensees of any city within the County of San Bernardino. lt also represents a city-wide oversaturation level for both on-salc and oft:sale ABC licenses. The San Bernardino Police Depal1ment is seeking ABC GAP Grant funding in the amount of $1 00,000. These funds would afford the SBPD to create the ABLE (Alcoholic Bcverage Licensee Enforcement) team to address all ABC related issues throughout the city. The funds will be used to fund the salary equivalent of one full-time officer, dedicated to Alcohol Beverage enforcement throughout the city. Recent substantial budget cuts have resulted in the gradual curtailment of such enforcement within the city due to high violent and property crime rates. The ABLE team would be specifically tasked with addressing the problcms of underage drinking and the detrimental impact on quality of life issues associated with out of compliance alcoholic beverage sales outlet locations. This will be achieved through the implementation of Prevention/Intervention and Suppression efforts. Problem: In 2008, the city of San Bernardino recognized the cOlTelation between alcoholic beverage licensed establishments and quality of life issues in their sUlTounding neighborhoods. The various city departmcnts including Devclopment Services, Code Enforcement, the Police Department, and the City Attorney joined with the San Bernardino County Depal1ment of Public Hcalth - Alcohol & Drug Abuse Prevention Program and the University of California- Riverside to review the current problem and recommend legislation to address the issucs. As a result of the study, the San Bernardino City Council ultimately passed a Deemed Approved Ordinance pertaining to all on:sale alcoholic beverage locations throughout the city. Many of the existing licensees were operating without any form of Conditional Use Permit. and as such had little in the way of operating standards. One of the new requirements is for all owners and employees involvcd in the sale of alcoholic bcverages to complete an approved Responsible Beverage Sales coursc. The City of San Bernardino currently hosts an ongoing series ofRBS/LEAD courses, givcn by ABC and the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, which mcets the ncw requirement. Scveral ABC licensees within the city are responsible for a disproportionate level of police services. resulting in a distinct and consistent drain on police services. One such location is a Circle K market located in a reporting district with one of the highest crime rates in the city. In 2010 there were over 418 calls for service at this one location alone. Another such location. a gas station / convenience store was responsible for over 260 calls for service in the same time pcriod. The majority of the calls at each location are for panhandlers. loiterers, and thefts (often of alcohol by juveniles). These locations clearly contribute to the quality of life problems for the surrounding community. 2011-98 Exhibit A SCOPE OF WORK Another location, "Stingers Bar and Night Club" currently operates as a bar and night club with live entet1ainment, however their current ABC license is a type 47, which limits their activities to that ofa restaurant. The nature of the entertainment at this location frequently sparks fights between rival factions of gangs, rap groups, and/or taggeI' crews. Over the course of 20 1 0, there were 244 calls for service including numerous calls regarding tights involving large crowds. On two occasions, officers responded to very largc tights/disturbances at the location resulting in the need to request assistance from neighboring law enforcement agencies, and deploy in riot gear to quell the violence. In addition, many of the fights involved weapons ranging from baseball bats to firearms. On several occasions there were shots fired in the parking lot, twice resulting in shootings. Recently, thc owners have filed paperwork with the city to expand thcir allowed occupancy from 293 people to 1000 people. Over the last year, our department has received information that an on-sale bcer and wine licensce located at a local food court has been selling bccr and facilitating the customers' ability to consume the beer in a separate nearby entertainment venue. UnfOliunately, due to staffing and budget concerns, our officers have been unable to mount an undercover investigation regarding this. Uniformed Patrol oflicers have made several unsuccessful attempts to investigate the situation. According to a recent California Healthy Kids Survey, 55% of teens in San Bernardino acknowledged that "alcohol is easy to get." During a recent Minor Decoy program in February 01'201 I, SBPD vice officers went to eight oIT-sale licensees and three of the locations sold alcoholic beverages to the minor operator. In addition, during previous Shoulder Tap operations, a large number of adults were found to be willing to purchase alcohol for minors. Proiect Description: The San Bernardino Pol ice Depatiment hopes to achieve three primary goals with the proposed 2011/2012 ABC Grant Assistance Program funding: increased public awareness by educating the public on the problem of underage drinking; a substantial decrease in the availability of alcohol to minors; and the substantial improvemcnt in the level of compliance by retail alcohol outlets throughout the city. These goals will be achieved through two overall approaches: Prevention / Intervention and Suppression. Pre venti on/ In terventi on: .
