C-rV OF SAN BERADINO - RE~UEST .Q. CoUNCIL ACTION t
"
STAFF REPORT
PROBLEM:
Statistics show that the most active period of criminal activity for the career criminal occurs
before the age of twenty-one. It has also been established that a small number of offenders
are committing the majority of the crimes. Due to the lack of appropriate resources, juvenile
offenders are becoming harder to control and track. With budget cuts impacting every level
of the judicial system, depleted resources make it extremely difficult to adequately assess,
care for, and supervise problem juveniles. Although once responsible for mainly property
crimes, a violent trend has been emerging in even the very young. Since 1989, the number
of juveniles committing robberies in San Bemardino has increased by 68%, and the number
of children under the age ot 15 committing these violent crimes has increased by 55%.
Current forecasts estimate that by the year 2,000, our juvenile population will be at 71,000.
If the current trend continues, at least one in four of these children will be living below the '.
poverty level.
FINDINGS:
In response to findings such as these, legislation was passed in 1986 which allowed for the
implementation of a program to identify, track, aggressively prosecute, and intensively
supervise, juvenile serious habitual offenders (SHOs). This is accomplished by creating an
inter-agency task force which includes, but is not limited to, the District Attorney's office, the
school district, California Youth Authority, local law enforcement agencies, and the juvenile
court. By cooperatively exchanging and managing case information, and focu8lng attention
on the juveniles who repeatedly commit serious crimes, agencies are better able to ensure
close supervision and treatment of SHOs. This concentrated effort will reduce the criminal
activity of these individuals, and positively impact the community in which they live. Currently
the SHO Crime Analyst has identified over 140 candidates for the program, which he tracks
on a daily basis.
The City of San Bernardino has been selected by the Office of Criminal Justice Planning as
one of six sites in California for funding of such a program through a grant. The duration of
the funding is one year, renewable for up to three years. We are now entering our second
year of the project. The Police Department has hired a Crime Analyst and Typist Clerk III to
administer the program. Through funds of the grant, the Police Department has purchased
computer equipment to help identify and track SHOs. The grant amount is $104,937.00. In
this second year, the City is expected to match 10% of the total project cost, which equates
to $9,539. The funds will be derived from Asset Forfeiture accounts 108-228-53701.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City of San Bernardino resolve to accept the award of the state
grant, second year. This will allow a continual effort to adequately deal with the serious
juvenile offenders in our city.
