REQUEST TO DISCUSS STREET TERRORISM ACT
MEMBER HERNANDEZ
COUNCIL
(S-l)
In a memorandum dated May 30, 1991, Detective Breiten, San
Bernardino Police Department, stated that the Street Terrorism
Enforcement and Prevention Act, (S. T. E. P. Act), was enacted in
1988. The intent was to seek the eradication of criminal
activity by street gangs, by focusing on patterns of criminal
gang activity and on the organized nature of street gangs, which
together are the chief source of terror created by street gangs.
COUNCIL MEMBER MILLER RETURNED
At 11:02 a.m., Council Member Miller returned to the Council
meeting and took her place at the council table.
Daniel Robbins, Chief of POlice, San Bernardino Police
Department, explained the S.T.E.P. Act and stated that the seven
offenses most commonly committed by members of gangs are 1)
assault with a deadly weapon; 2) robbery; 3) homicide or

manslaughter; 4) sale or possession of narcotics and controlled
substances; 5) shooting into an inhabited dwelling or vehicle;
6) arson and 7) witness intimidation. He explained how gang
members are identified, and the provision for extending
sentences under the S.T.E.P. Act.
Discussion ensued regarding the law enforcement system, in
that the City and many other local Police Departments have
increased the number of sworn and non-sworn Police Officers who
patrol the streets. However, the District Attorney's Office, the
custodial system such as Juvenile Hall, jails, and the Probation
Department (parole) have not been augmented correspondingly to
handle the volume of criminals arrested.
A discussion
S.T.E.P. Act and
activity.
was held relating to the effectiveness of the
other avenues for reducing crime and gang
Chief Robbins outlined the methods used to educate youth
about the dangers of gangs and drug activity, such as the
D.A.R.E. program and the Junior Police Academy. However, he
expressed concern that many parents were in denial over their
children being involved in gang activity.
Chief Robbins felt that a needs assessment was necessary to
identify issues and develop a cooperative effort among all of the
members of the criminal justice system, and that a comprehensive
plan be developed prior to any action being taken.
Council Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Pope-Ludlam, and unanimously carried, to endorse in
principle the concept of a County-wide effort in the war against
gangs involving all of the County communities and resources,
without identifying any funding source.
