To DONALD J. BURNETT, CHIEF OF POLICE
Subject ANTI CRUISING ORDINANCE
From P. BONANNO, ASST.
CHIEF OF POLICE
Date 10-Jun-86
Approved
Date
A complete survey of anti-cruising ordinances of the listed cities was
conducted and the following information was obtained.
CITIES SURVEYED
1. Phoeni x, Ari zona
2. Walnut Creek, California
3. Livermore, California
4. Fremont, California
5. Cupertino, California
6. Los Gatos, California
7. Los Angeles, California
8. Pleasant Hill, California
9. Pomona, California
All have anti-cruising ordinances on the books but not all of these cities
currently utilize the ordinance for various reasons.
Phoenix only utilizes the law on a particular shopping center.
All the cities that use the ordinance have had good experience in negating
the problems.
Pomona, Livermore, Fremont, Los Gatos and Pleasant Hill have all diminished
their problems with minimum enforcement effort."
Citizen complaints have not been a problem primarily due to advance
publicity before implementation. The business communities of these cities
have backed the Police Departments.
Currently Los Gatos has a class action suit brought by cruisers in the
First District Court of Appeals.
Walnut Creek, Los Angeles, and Cupertino do not use the ordinance. Their
enforcement experi ence is not that great as thei r part i cu1 ar needs have
diminished, or the geographies of the problems are more conducive to
alternate means (i.e., re-routing, traffic, etc.).
Attached is the proposed contingency plan for this City should the
ordinance pass, and the cost factors applicable to the plan.
The preliminary efforts would require the following men and material.

Su~ect ENFORCEMENT OF CRUISING ORDINANCE
From LT. L. RICHARDS
Date 10-Jun-86
Approved
Date
This proposed plan is to assign officers to enforce the cruising of
vehicles as designated by City Ordinance 10.24.210 and 10.24.220.
The traffic congestion usually occurs on weekend evenings and this
implementation will be for those days.
When the designated ranking officer on duty in the congested area
determines the traffic flow is such that little or not vehicular flow is
occurring, he will enact the city ordinance.
,
The rank i ng offi cer shall des i gnate the 3-hour time peri od and erect
cruising control signs at the begining and end of the street displaying the
appropriate provisions of section CVC 21100(k), warning that cruising
control is being enforced.
He will establ ish manned control points and officers stationed at the
cont rol poi nts wi 11 issue written warni ngs to those persons pass i ng the
control points a second time in the same direction.
If the same person passes the control point a third time, the person will
be arrested and processed according to the department SOP for misdemeanor
arrests.
Upon completion of the 3-hour period or if traffic flow is restored, the
ranking officer will remove the control points and control signs.
CONTROL SIGNS
The control signs will be 36"X36" and state the appropriate provlslons of
Section CVC 21100(k). Twenty (20) signs will be required when placing them
at the beginning and end of each specified street.
The control signs on Mt. Vernon Avenue and 4th Street at Foothill Blvd. can
be erected by placing permanent standard metal sign bands approximately ten
(10) feet high around City light poles. Upon placement of the control
signs, officers can be using a step ladder, attach the signs to the bands
with two (2) bolts and can remove them when not in use.
On "K" Street, 14th Street and 4th Street at Mt. Vernon, metal sign posts
will have to be placed in the ground and offi cers can use the same
procedure for attaching and removal.
