1. INTRODUCTION
The Mayor's Office has developed and initiated Operation Phoenix, a coordinated
response to crime and related family and youth issues and to create long-term

Operation Phoenix addresses the complex issues contributing to crime and violence
through partnership with the County of San Bernardino, the San Bernardino City Unified
School District, the State Department of Corrections, and California State University San
Bernardino.
The initial success of Operation Phoenix between June 10, 2006 and December 31, 2006,
included a 37.59% reduction in UCR Part I crime in the original target area. There was
also a 2 1.11% citywide reduction of UCR Part I crime, compared to 2005, during that
same time period.
On June 4, 2007, the City Council identified five additional target areas for possible
expansion of Operation Phoenix.
