PROBLEM STATEMENT The City of San Bernardino is both the governmental and commercial center of the largest county in the State of California. The City is strategically located between two major interstate freeways (I-l0, 1-215), with a third interstate feeder to the Los Angeles/Metropolitan area nearby (I-15). The City of San Bernardino is adjacent to both Los Angeles and Riverside Counties and their respective population centers. The City of San Bernardino has a resident population of 134,372. Employment opportunities, shopping malls, civic events, and seasonal trends attract a commuting population which is often equal to the resident population. Present within the aggregate population are identifiable Black and Hispanic communities; a large concentration of senior citizens; a high precentage of low income households; a concentration of youth, under 19 years of age. The presence of these diverse groups has lead to a process of accelerated cultural exchange and acceleration that has come to characterize the City. The City has experienced a 13.5% growth in population between 1980 and 1985. During this decade the City has enjoyed unprecedented growth in the areas of commerce and industry. This trend towards growth in all areas is projected to continue unabated through the end of the century. Crime, its increased incidence and effect upon society, is today an issue of national concern. Plans and programs to combat crime are in place in every community, be it urban, suburban, or rural. Within the past decade the incidence of crime, coupled with the fear of vict imi zat ion, injury, and loss of property, have grown to intolerable proportions nationwide. Despite the combined efforts of the community and the criminal justice system the City of San Bernardino has been caught in, rather than excepted from, this trend. The City of San Bernardino is served by a police department with an authorized strength of 368; 240 sworn and 128 civilians. The needs of the resident and commuting populations are such that the police department responds to over 113,400 calls for service annually. To increase its effectiveness in responding to the needs of the City the police department has turned to innovation and high-tech in order to best utilize the resources available. As a result of this proactive posture the police department has incorporated into its workings Community Oriented Policing, aggressive Crime Prevention and Analysis Programs and, a growing number of civilian specialists. In 1984, there were 14,249 (BCS) serious crimes reported to the police department. When expressed in terms of the crime - - - < . . . . rate the City experienced 10,578.3 serious crimes per 100,000 population. This statistic ranks the City 21st in a statewide ranking by frequency of serious crimes. The volume of calls for service, coupled with the high frequency of serious crimes, have severely taxed the ability of the police department to provide crime prevention services through the traditional expedient of sworn officers. In response to this situation the department established a Crime Prevention Unit starfed in the majority by civilians. The demand for crime prevention services is such that this unit is no longer able to provide follow-up support to existing Neighborhood Watch groups. These Neighborhood Watch Groups in turn formed a non-profi t corporation, staffed entirely by volunteers, to further extend the availability of crime prevention services. Even this innovation has failed to keep up with the citywide need for crime prevention services. The value attached to crime prevention services by the residents of San Bernardino cannot be understated. Requests for crime prevention programs are commonly received from areas within the city where crime rates are at, or below, average. Since the introduction of the Crime Prevention Unit in the pOlice department it has been observed that there are very few requests for crime prevention programs in areas experiencing high levels of serious crimes. Analysis of this phenomena shows that these residents have endured longterm crime problems which have forced them to adjust their expectations as to the qualities of their neighborhoods, and the response that they can expect from the police department, and the criminal justice system as a whole. To combat this phenomena it is necessary to establish a police presence that stresses both continuity throughout the City and teamwork between the police department and the residents, merchants, and civic leaders active in these areas. The role of the police department is complicated in that they must supply services not only to the City as a whole, but also to meet the unique needs of the variously ethnically and geographically defined communities therein. This requires the establishment of a law enforcement posture that acknowledges the diverse community of interests and the need for flexibility. In this way solutions can be tailored to the unique problems that affect these communities. In addressing this diversity of needs the police department has identified the "Central Downtown Corridor" of the City as the target area in which to develop a model program under the Community Crime Resistance Program. This area is unique in that it represents the City in miniature. This area is further plagued by a high burglary rate. The department will develop an intergrated program, with burglaries as a targeted crime, to be implemented in this area. The performance of the program will be measured in terms of a reduction in burglaries and other crimes occurring within this area. The program once developed will lend itself to implementation 1 . . . . citywide. The characteristics of the target area are addressed further in Attachment 9. . . . Attacnme~ HISTURY UF CKIME PKEVENTIuN ACTIVITIES CRIME PREVENTION UNIT In November of 1981,. the police department established a Crime Prevention Unit. The focus of crime prevention, both as a unit and as a program, is on proactive interaction with the community designed to suppress crime through education and citizen involvement. Central to the crime prevention program is Neighborhood Watch. By acting as a catalyst, the Crime Prevention Unit is able to assist neighbors in organizing, in learning how to decrease the likelihood of becoming victims themselves, and in learning how to assist those around them. While the Crime Prevention Unit has several highly developed programs, the Neighborhood Watch Program is the most visible. Since its start in 1981, the Crime Prevention Unit has aided in the setting up and maintenance of over 700 individual Neighborhood Watch groups. The Crime Prevention Unit is staffed with three positions; a supervising Detective, and two Police Assistants. Through extensive training, and membership in area professional organizations, such as the California Crime Prevention qfficers' Association, these personnel are among the most highly trained crime prevention specialists in the State. On the basis of this training and experience, the Crime Prevention Unit has provided training to designated personnel from the City's six Area Commands. This has greatly increased ~ommunity access to crime prevention services and information. The inclusion of crime prevention in the Community Oriented Policing program represents a natural marriage of skills and personnel as are. necessary to meet the needs of a community that is concerned about preventing crime. Neighborhood Watch is not the only program offered by the Crime Prevention Unit. Business Watch, a program designed to meet the needs of the area merchants and businessmen, has been enthusiastically received by the community. Business Watch is a program designed to make known the various ways in which criminals prey on businesses and to promote a cooperative effort among merchants to share information between themselves and with the police department. Lady Beware, a program that addresses the issues of rape and assault, is geared to meet the needs of citizens at both the group and individual level. New programs recently instituted by the Crime Prevention Unit include the review of building plans, and a program designed to promote crime prevention techniques within the classroom. Environmental design stress proven target hardening techniques from the ground stage up. Under the Environmental Design program, many crime problems, as would derive from building design, on the installation of substandard hardware, are prevented before they have an opportunity to occur. Crime Prevention in the schools draws upon material from the Governor's Youth Crime Prevention Program. By addressing the needs of today's youth for information on the law and personal safety, this generation will be given the chance to free itself from the fear of crime and to prevent themselves from ever becoming easy victims. . . . Attachmene CRIME ANALYSIS CAPA~lLITY or CCR/C-CAP INTERFACE( if appllcaDle) In November of 1981 a Crime Prevention Unit was established within the police department by a resolution of the Mayor and the Common Council of the City of San Bernardino. The Crime Prevention Unit was established in response to the then overwhelming demand for crime prevention services from the community. The establishment of the Crime Prevention Unit, and its subsequent maintenance, was performed exclusive of external funding. Introduced with the Crime Prevention Unit was utilization of civilian specialists in positions traditionally staffed by sworn personnel. The Crime Prevention Unit has, since its inception, been staffed by one supervising Detective and two civilian specialists. The use of volunteers has been an ongoing theme throughout the history of the Crime Prevention Unit. With the expansion of the Neighborhood Watch Program, the volunteer component was formalized into "The Neighborhood Watch Coalition," a non-profit corporation. In January of 1983 the City of San Bernardino adopted Community Oriented Polibing on a citywide basis. With COP the availability of crime prevention programs and services was further increased as each of the six designated "Area Commands" included Neighborhood Watch, and other crime prevention programs, within its prescribed functions. These activities, while coordinated through the Crime Prevention Unit, represented an additional commitment of department resources towards meeting the crime prevention needs of the City. On August 10, 1983, the City of San Bernardino, on behalf of the police department, was awarded a Career Criminal Apprehension Grant through the Office of Criminal Justice Planning. An intergral portion of the C-CAP grant was the purchase and installation of an automated records management system to maintain and track information on repeat offenders, crime series, patterns, and trends. This system also included software designed for crime prevention applications. In recognition of the departmental commitment to both Crime Prevention and Crime Analysis the two units were set up in physically adjoining areas. The products of the Crime Analysis Unit, particularly those dealing with burglary and active crime series, were daily utilized by the Crime Prevention Unit. These products were abstracted and the basic information used both to prioritize activities and to alert Neighborhood Watch Groups in problem areas. This interaction has been ongoing for the life of the Crime - . . . - - . . Analysis Unit. The Crime Analysis Unit additionally supplies information of this type to the Area Commands to further their localized crime prevention activities. The Crime Analysis Unit will soon complete a reV1Slon of the department's crime report form. This revision will incorporate changes designed to capture precise suspect and modus operandi information. This data will in turn not only enhance the department's ability to identify and apprehend career criminals, it will also greatly enhance the ability of the Crime Prevention Unit to formulate effective programs and disseminate useful information throughout the community. . - - - . . . . . .

TARGET AREA DESCRIPTION The goal of the City of San Bernardino in seeking a Community Crime Resistance Grant is to improve the quality of life within the City by reducing the frequency of crime and the accompanying fear of victimization. To facilitate the development of a model program which may be implemented citywide a target area has been selected which contains in miniature many of the crime problems that affect the City as a whole. This area is further distinct in that its relative crime rate exceeds the norm for the City. The elevated crime rate is, however, not the result of anyone feature, but rather a product of multiple factors. Understandably the target area does not have the highest crime rate within the City. The selected target area of the grant is the "Central Downtown Corridor" of San Bernardino. This area is an approximately 1.3 square mile tract located in the central part of the City of San Bernardino. The area is bounded by Basel i ne Street on the north, 5th Street on the south, Waterman Avenue on the East, and the Interstate 215 Freeway on the West. The target area can generally be described as a decaying urban area undergoing cultural and ethnic shifts and experiencing sporadic redevelopment. Housing consists of primarily post World War II era single family dwellings and newer apartment complexes. There is an estimated total of 3,501 dwellings occupied by 6,714 residents. Only 802 of these dwellings or 11.9% are owner occupied. The median value of homes and the median rent for contract rentals for the target area are below those for the City as a whole. There are an estimated 586 dwellings vacant for sale, 304 dwellings vacant for rent, 141 dwellings boarded up, and 57 dwell i ngs descr i bed as other vacant in the 1980 census information bulletin. The target area is predomlnately residential with a business districts lining the boundaries and disecting the area on major thoroughfares. The area is home to two major senior c it i zen hous ing complexes and sen ior c it i zen serv ices are located adjacent to the target area. A regional bus line services the target area and a major regional shopping center located south of the target area. A Regional Park is under development in the S/E section of the area. The residents in the target area identify themselves collectively as belonging to the central downtown corridor of the City. This indentification is reinforced by having common city school district boundaries, three census tracts and six police reporting districts. As such, the area residents possess a strong sense of identity and belonging. . ( . . . .

AttacnmenA CUuKOINATIUN UF StKVICES AND WUKKIN6 KELATIUNSHIPS Ayency/Uryanlzatlon Interface Process Kole - Due to its proximity to the County Seat the San Bernardino Police Department has historically enjoyed the cooperation and support of all localized members of the criminal justice system. The police department works daily in coordination with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office, both in the areas of enforcement and prevention. The police department has on site offices of the San Bernardino County Juvenile Pro bat ion Department. The fac i lit ies of the police department are routinely utilized by State Parole for the purposes of training and parolee testing. Through participation in the California Career Criminal Apprehension Program the police department has established a strong rapport with the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office. The District Attorney sponsors the both the Vict im/Wi tness Advocacy Program and V ict im Support Services. The police department has designated liaisons from both of these agencies. The Crime Prevention Unit, while situated in the police department, bases the majority of its activities in the community. Significant groups giving direction and support to the police department's crime prevention program include; The Citizens' War on Crime Commission, The Neighborhood Watch Coalition, The San Bernardino Community Against Drugs, WeTip. As the City of San Bernardino maintains its own fire department, fire safety services, to include presentations, are readily available. The police department enjoys the combined support of the merchant and Hispanic communities through the entities of the San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce and the Mexican Chamber of Commerce. Through its program of Community Oriented Policing the police department receives the direct support of individual residents for its crime prevention programs. The police department has daily contact, by way of referrals, follow-ups, and an ongoing rapport, with a host of service providing organizations located throughout the City. This diverse support group comprises organizations such as the Rotary, Lions, Elks, and other civic groups and further includes service specific organizations such as San Bernardino Rape Crisis "and Sexual Assault Services, Betheleham House (a placement for physically abused women), the American Red Cross, the San Bernardino Office on Aging, . . . . . Rolling Start (a support organization for the blind and handicapped), and the Salvation Army. The police department has been active in contacting, encouraging, and working with support groups as they form within the City. Under the grant the role of the police department will be developed beyond the current role of catalyst and facilitor. In conjunction with a comprehensive crime prevention effort the police department will seek to coordinate and involve all organizations so that the diverse needs of the City may be met in the manner most efficent to both the client and the service organization. As each of these organizations represent a highly specialized application the focus of the police department will be to enhance all aspects of its crime prevention program through the fullest utilization of those experts and practitioners resident within the City. --- . . . . . Attachment 11 PKUJECT OBJECTIVES ANU ACTIVITIES PKUliKAM CllHPUNENT '1: To recruit, train and use volunteers to assist in imllleonentiny and conductiny community crime resistance proyrams. This is a mandatory IIroyram objective for all applicants. llbJect ive: o To recruit and train 20 volunteers to provide crime prevention activItIes. 480 hours Ijuarterly assistin\! in Activities: The police assistants will organize a training program for volunteer participants which will enable the rapid expansion of the Crime Prevention Unit and its offering of programs. Recruitment of these volunteers will be achieved through contact with Neighborhood Watch groups in the targeted neighborhoods (as indicated by C-CAP inform- ation), civic groups, and extensive media campaigns. The training given these volunteers will consist of basic crime prevention techniques, i.e., Neighborhood Watch principles, home security survey conductivity, operation identification engraving, in addition to public speaking abilities, computer operation and data entry, and other areas as needed. The scope of their duties will be variable, dependent upon pre-retirement occupations and current abilities. In brief, they will conduct security surveys, operate displays, enter data into the computer, assist extensively in senior citizen safety programs (see component #3 for further), assist in the taping of public service announcements, assimilate information, and effectively relay information pertaining to crime problems in the city, encourage citizen support and participation in reducing the threat of crime in their neighborhood, and further communication between the police department and the citizens by providing assistance in the creation and distribution of newsletters, crime alerts, and other pertinent information. - - - - . . . . Attachma 11 PKOGKAM COMPONENT 112: To establish and/or maintain neighborhooa involvementllrograms, suCh as Neighborhood Watch, which incluae traininy in hOA~ security. olleration identification. and other relatea areas. This is a mandatory IIroyram com~onent for all allplicants. ~roject JbJective(s): * Form new Neighborhood Watch groups and follow-up meetings throughout the city, 50% of which will be conducted in the target area, totalling no less than 300 programs in a nine-month period. . Recruit, train, and maintain involvement of block captains, both new and old, with a minimum of 350 block captains to be trained in the grant year. Activities: Nearly 700 neighborhood watch programs exist in the city at this time, which is repre- sentative of over 11,000 people. The current rate of new programs requested is approx- imately 10 per month. It is anticipated that rate will go up slightly with heavy media campaigns, word-of-mouth advertising, and cooperation with the Neighborhood Watch Assocation of San Bernardino. However, the largest role will be the revitali- zation of current Neighborhood Watch groups and incorporation of new groups into the program. A lack of personnel and resources has produced a glaringly apparent break- down in the Neighborhood Watch spectrum. Another contributing factor is the lack of effective communication. Plans for revitalization include networking with the Neighborhood Watch Association which assists with the communication of crime information to groups and crime tips to citizens by distribution of newsletters, crime alerts, etc. An important augmenta- tion of this networking will be the purchase of an automatic dialer with grant funding. Attempts have been made at calling block captains as a daily function of police assis- tants to increase communication, but a lack of personnel and priority given to the presentation of programs prohibited success or expansion. With the auto dialer, the calls can be made in a timely manner, and, at the same time, priority can continue to be given to the presentation of programs in keeping with grant Objectives. Further- more, the cost of the auto dialers is much less than the hiring of another person specifically for this purpose would be. In addition, extensive training will be conducted to educate block captains on revitali- zation techniques. These neighborhood watch participants will be encouraged to become involved in other aspects of crime prevention (senior citizen safety, burglary pre- vention, school safety--see component #7--etc.) -- - . . . IIttdchme'll PKOGMAH COMPONENT 'J: To estdblish crime ~revention proyrdms to provide effective dnd consistent services for the elderly.

ACTIVITIES, Grant personnel will recruit ten senior citizen volunteers to assist in c~irneprevention presentations and development of above mentioned service cadre. The usage of senior r.itizen volunteers is crur.ial in alleviating fear of crime which at times causing isolation and is so prevalent among seniors. Volunteers will use expertise in providing home security improvement services to seniors who are unable to provide these services for themselves. Furthermore, volunteers will play an imperative role in recruiting these seniors to provide transportation assistance and development of a buddy system, thereby reducing fear of crime by the simple fact that there will be fewer seniors walking the streets alone. - - - . . .

Activities: Grant personnel will meet with the above named agencies who provide treatment and information services on a continual basis by attending meetings already in operation to form a network of viable ideas and working toward achieving the common goal: the prevention of crime and the treatment of victims. WorkShops and training will be presented in cooperation with these agencies to neighborhoods, schools, businesses, and law enforcement (with reference to proper handling and sensitivity to these cases, not to mention referral). In addition, a domestic violence brochure will be designed and producted by members of the crime prevention unit with prevention/treatment information, 10,000 of which would be distributed to ten hospitals, shelters, and schools. Along that same line, a resource/referral card will be developed to assist officers with enlightening victims to the resources available to them. Of further interest, 25% of these brochures will be printed in Spanish in order to reach ethnic and cultural groups. - - - . . . Attachme'u PROGRAM COMPONENT ,,: To develop crime prevention proyrams specifically yeared to youth in schools and school district p~rsonnel. ProJect ObJective(s): *Development of a sexual assault prevention program for junior high school students to be presented at no less than three junior high schools city wide, reaching a minimum of 300 students. *Expansion of child safety awareness programs (molestation, crime prevention, etc.) already in existence by developing programs on latchkey safety, vandalism prevention, bicycle safety, and an Officer Friendly program. This means the presentation of no less that 15 programs per month with a minimum of 2,000 students reached at the conclusion of the grant year. *Provide state of the art child safety information and education to school district personnel as it becomes available from meeting and conference attendance. Activities: The City currently has child safety awareness programs for children aged pre-school through sixth grade which cover such topics as child molestation/physical abuse, basic crime prevention principles, and traffic safety. The goal of the crime prevention unit is to expand this program not only to include different topics but to target junior high school aged children (nothing is offered to them at this time). Furthermore, a latchkey program, vandalism program, and bicycle safety program (refer to component 7 for further) will be developed and incorporated into the existing child safety aware- ness programs. The school district personnel will be educated with reference to mandatory reporting of sexual/physical assault victims by the development of a program. In addition, as state of the art information becomes available in the area of crime prevention curriculum, assistance to teachers, etc., it will be disseminated in either program form or written newsletter form. A standardized program outline will be established for an "Officer Friendly" program. This will also utilize an "Officer Olli~" puppet and a talking police car (purchased without grant funds) to build a positive relationship between .children and law enforce- ment officers based on mutual trust and respect at an early age. The foundational step has been taken as far as cultivating law enforcement/school relations. It is crucial to build upon this positive, effective experience by the availability of additional programs and/or information to provide long lasting and far reaching results. - - . . . . .

Activities: Grant staff will develop an information exchange network with community youth serving agencies for referrals and case management. Programs will be developed at the junior high and high school levels showing youth potential, job skills, and professions, outlets for unproductive time such as recreation and service activities, clubs':, etc. Also, counseling and peer support groups will be shown to them in programs geared to make it easy for them to seek help if they want assistance. Programs will also be given to parents in evening meetings to identify a network of private business/industry work opportunity programs will be developed to aid delinquent youth in hands-on experience. This will also entail donation of time in public service cente~ (boys clubs, senior centers, etc.) A brochure showing programs and services available will be developed to supplement the rapid implementation of this program. . . . .

"Development of a bicycle safety program for elementary aged school children and present no less than 20 programs per quarter, reaching a minimum of 1,000 students. Act hit i ~s: As previously mentioned in component #5, a somewhat extensive child safety program already exists in the city with reference to personal safety and child abduction. What is lacking, however, is a program specifically designed on latchkey safety, bicycle safety, or vandalism prevention. The crime prevention unit will be responsible for development and impleme~tation of these programs. With the projected approval of Assembly Bill 2780 (Block Parenting Program), an extensive block parenting program would be undertaken. The bill authored by Waters (#1976) provides the waiving of a fingerprint fee if the individual is affiliated with a non- profit organization. This would be achieved by the coordination of this program with the Neighborhood Watch Association (which has non-profit status). Furthermore, this would have far reaching implications in that Neighborhood Watch would play a vital role in this program: Neighborhood Watch participants would be given preference, and other interested citizens would be encouraged to become active in the Neighborhood Watch concept. Moreover, permission to complete background checks on proposed block parents would ensure whole-hearted support of law enforcement. . . .

Activities: Grant personnel and volunteers will be trained in giving residential and business inspections. Through the use of these personnel, the above objectives in performing both residential and business inspections throughout the city, including the target area, can be achieved. The city currently has a business crime watch program. One of the main problems in promoting this program has been targeting those businesses with the crime problems and in turn, getting the word out about the program. The goal of the Crime Prevention Unit is to expand this program to target those businessess who have specific crime problems. This can be achieved through the use of the crime analysis unit targeting the crime areas and then the grant personnel and volunteers making the personal contact with those businesses. Once contact has been made and the business crime watch program promoted, the objective for business presentations can be met. There is a real need for local businesses to be alerted to criminal activity affecting their businesses. Through the use of an automatic dialing machine, local businesses can be notified, in a timely manner, of the current crime problems. It is essential for businessp.s to be informed and to share in a broadened availability of workable crime preventl.OII methods.

Attachment IS EVALUATION/MEASUREMENT UF U~JECTIVES Please have the Project Uirector siyn below, indicating that the project will participate in the UCJP/CCR proyram evaluation by complying with the requirements listed below: I, Maintenance uf program services, accomplishments, etc, (as described in CCR 6uidelines, Sect i on Ill); 2. Quarterly report;ny of levels of performance/objective achievements; J. ljuarterly reportiny uf crillle data; 4. Final proyram audit; and ~. Uther data as required. The measurement of grant objectives will take a twofold approach. An initial measure of performance will be the rate of compliance with stated goals to include: the number of programs, presentations, and services, provided, or, performed, in accordance with stated performance goals in these catagories. A secondary measure of performance will be that of reductions in the crime rate within the target area. The objective in this case will be reduce the occurrence of targeted crime of residential burglaries by 10 percent. This measurement will require qualification as the desired reduction in target crimes will require the tactical and strategic performance of other objectives, rather than, the sequential meeting of performance goals. It is further anticipated that as the targeted crimes are. impacted, the basic structure of the underlying casual factors will change and thus require an ongoing analysis of performance in this category. It is noted in conclusion, that an increase in the rate of reported crimes within the target area is anticipated at the onset of the program. This increase is further not expected to reflect an actual increase in the occurrence rates for these crimes, but rather an increased willingness on the part of the residents within the target area to report crimes due to an increased rapport with police personnel.

Attachment 16 PLANS FOR ASSUMPT10N OF COSTS It is the intention of the City to continue this program, at the level authorized during the grant, after the exhaustion of grant funds. This assumption of associated costs will take place in'the operating budget of the Police Department. The costs of the program will either be met through the use of monies from the general fund, or, offset through the development of alternative funding sources not currently in place. These funding alternatives may include, continuation of the grant, development of private sector funding, absorption of specific fees and services by community based organizations currently operating in support of the police department's Crime Prevention Program. . . . . . .
