As one of the premier law enforcement agencies in the area, the San Bernardino Police Department (SBPD) is recognized at the state and national levels for award winning community oriented policing programs. The mission of the SBPD is to provide progressive, quality police service; a safe environment to improve the quality of life; and a reduction in crime through problem recognition and problem solving. The SBPD continuously strives in its commitment to the prevention of crime and the preservation of peace within the community. The SBPD is comprised of 248 sworn officers and is divided into three Divisions: Patrol, Investigations, and Administrative Services. The Patrol Division is further divided into four District Commands, which are primarily responsible for identifying and resolving problems in the community. The District Command also has a Community Policing Team that includes 5 sworn officers and 6 professional staff assigned to address problems through traditional and non-traditional policing methods. The Investigations Division is divided into three Bureaus: General Investigations, Specialized Enforcement, and Gangs. The Specialized Enforcement Bureau includes both Vice and Narcotics Units, as well as oversight for all local, state, and federal joint task force officers. The Vice Unit is primarily responsible for the enforcement of ABC related issues throughout the city, as well as the investigation of vice related crimes such as prostitution, massage parlors, gambling, and animal fighting. Moreover, the Vice Unit is involved in the review and evaluation of all business registrations for on-sale and off-sale establishments. Currently the Vice Unit is staffed with one officer and one detective. They are working tirelessly on human trafficking and prostitution cases and do not have the time currently to devote to ABC investigations. The City of San Bernardino is experiencing a large amount of calls for service for transient issues, to included panhandling and drinking in public. The Community Policing Team (CPT)would like to assist the Vice Unit with ABC enforcement. The CPT Unit has received training in ABC investigations and has worked closely with ABC investigators. The CPT has conducted minor decoy operations with ABC as well as separately. The CPT has also completed multiple ABC impact inspections. The California Department of Finance estimated the population of San Bernardino to be approximately 211,076. This number is from the 2010 census and the table below will be from that census showing the percentage of the diversity that makes up the City of San Bernardino. The current estimated population is 213,708. San Bernardino City Hispanic 60% Black or African American 15% Asian 4% American Indian or Alaska Native 1.3% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander 0.4% Some other Race 28.5% White 145.6% 2015-110 Exhibit A SCOPE OF WORK Due to budget constraints the San Bernardino Police Department has been forced to reduce sworn personnel from 298 officers to its current number of 248 officers. This allows SBPD to deploy just one officer per 862 residents; this is far below the national average. Even though the SBPD is faced with these low numbers the SBPD still strives to provide the most efficient and effective use of available resources to provide the community with superior police service. These low numbers have caused most of the SBPD resources to be focused on patrol functions and allowed very little time to address problematic issues including ABC violations. The City of San Bernardino currently has 339 ABC licenses, including 185 off-sale licenses and 154 on-sale. This number exceeds the number of authorized licenses in the city and it creates an over-saturation issue and increased alcohol-related problems in San Bernardino. SBPD did receive a mini grant for$5,000 in 2010-2011 and a grant GAP grant for$55,000.00 in 2011-2012. SBPD worked closely with ABC Investigators and other GAP agencies and met all of the goals they set in the grants. The SBPD is seeking 2015-2016 GAP grant funding in the amount of$50,000. These funds with allow the SBPD to start again with addressing the problems of underage drinking and negative impact on quality of life issues associated with ABC establishments. This will be done through prevention, intervention and suppression efforts. Currently there is not staffing to have officers solely assigned to addressing ABC related problems. The funds from this grant are essential to allow SBPD officers the ability to address the city's ABC establishments. The request for $50,000 is made in the form of overtime funds to continue the work of the SBPD to address ABC-related issues that might go under-investigated or not investigated at all. Problem Statement The City of San Bernardino has recognized the correlation between alcohol establishments and quality of life issues in the surrounding neighborhoods. Many ABC licensees operate free from conditions, such as a conditional use permit causing them to have little to no operating standards. The San Bernardino City Council passed a Deemed Approved Ordinance in 2010. This requires owners and employees who sell alcohol to complete a responsible alcohol sales course. Even though this ordinance is in place staffing levels have made it hard to enforce this and there is still a great need to educated licensees, their employees and the community. There are several ABC-licensed establishments within the city that consume a high level of police services and take away from the already scarce police resources available to the public. One location is King Tut located at 279 E Baseline Street which is in the middle of a high crime area for the city. Officers responded to over 100 calls for service at this location (not including calls for service in the immediate area related to this business). This business has also sold to minors in minor decoy operations conducted by the SBPD in 2014. This location requires additional attention in the form of ABC enforcement. In 2009-2010, a California Healthy Kids Survey was conducted with San Bernardino City Unified School District students. The table below shows the reality of the alcohol problem involving minors in the city of San Bernardino: 2015-110 Exhibit A SCOPE OF WORK 7th Grade 91h Grade 11th Grade Alternative Students Students Students School Consumed alcohol four or more times in 15% 30% 46% 58% life Consumed alcohol in the past 30 days 23% 30% 36% 54% Drove after drinking or have been in a car Not Reported 24% 28% 47% driven by a friend who had been drinking Believe it is"very easy"to obtain alcohol 22% 40% 47% 46% Perceive only"Slight Harm"or"No Harm" 53% 49% 45% 50% from frequent alcolhol use During 2014 the CPT (Community Policing Team) at SBPD conducted multiple minor decoy operations in the City of San Bernardino and three out of seven(42%) locations on one day sold to our minors. This shows that there is a serious problem with minors and alcohol in the City of San Bernardino. Proiect Description The SBPD hopes to achieve three main goals with the proposed 2015-2016 GAP funding: increase public awareness by educating the public with the issues of underage drinking, a decrease in the availability of alcohol to minors, and an improvement in the level of compliance by ABC-licensed business throughout the city. These goals will be accomplished through two approaches: prevention/intervention and suppression. Prevention/intervention Goals and Objectives: • The team will identify and target problematic ABC-licensed establishments. • Conduct a minimum of 120 IMPACT inspections with follow up visits to ensure compliance. • Conduct two task force operations targeting ABC-licensed establishments. • Issue press releases following the completion of each suppression program to increase public awareness of the joint efforts to improve upon ABC-related issues within the city. • Conduct briefing training to cover all shifts on information related to ABC offenses. Suppression Goals & Objectives • Conduct at least twelve Minor Decoy operations • Conduct at least twelve shoulder tap operations • Conduct at least two cops in shops operations • Conduct probation checks on alcohol/DUI related probationers • Conduct at least two trap door operations 2015-110 Exhibit A SCOPE OF WORK Proiect Personnel The SBPD community policing team will be responsible for the implementation and monitoring/evaluation of the project including the completion of all progress reports.
