Synopsis of Previous Council Action: October 5, 2011 Resolution No. 2011-275 approved by the Mayor and Common Council but not timely executed. July 1Q 2006 Resolution No. 2006-243 approved by Mayor and Common Council. Background: California Highway Patrol (CHP) San Bernardino has requested to use the San Bemardino Po]ice Department's Pistol Range for monthly qualifications and training of its 28 traffic officers assigned to night watch shift. CHP San Bernardino does not have its own firearms range. On a contractual basis, CHP San Bernardino presently utilizes the firearms facility of the San Bernardino Sheriff s Department for monthly qualifications and training of its personnel. Lack of access and restrictive hours of operation of the Sheriff s Department range is problematic for CHP San Bernardino. Updated: 2/16/2012 by Diane C. Roth C 5.1 1534 CHP San Bernardino is incurring significant monthly overtime costs associated with its night watch patrol officers holding over afrer their work shift (6 a.m.) and waiting for the San Bernardino SherifFs Department range to open for business at 8 a.m. An even more important concern CHP San Bernardino leaders wish to remedy is to have the night watch patrol officers train and qualify with firearms during night time hours, an element and factor which night watch officers encounter during their tour of duty. The CHP will supply a mngemaster (certified and credentialed), all targets, ammunition, and range-related safety equipment. All CHP participants will conduct themselves in accordance with range rules and regulations as outlined in the contract. CHP San Bernardino will utilize the San Bernardino Police Department's pistol range four days every other month. The use of the San Bernardino Police Department's Pistol Range by CHP San Bemardino will not impact the San Bernardino Police Department's ability to qualify its own officers throughout the year. Due to other agreements in place with the CHP, there is no revenue generated from this agreement which will be valid upon approval through October 31, 2012. This agreement was previously approved by the Council on October 5, 2011, but was not executed within the time required by the Resolution. It is being resubmitted at this time for approval.
