Agenda Item No. y -2.. - - - - ~ - CIT90F .SAN BERNARDIIO - REQUEO FOR COUNCIL ACtON 75.0264 STAFF REPORT To continue using civilian personnel as much as possible to assist in the delivery of police service, the attached ordinance is recommended. This ordinance allows civilian police assistants to enforce State and Municipal Codes. They will not make physical contact with or take physical custody of violators. This ordinance simply allows them to take the enforcement action necessary to complete a report and/or a citation releasing the violator on the violator's promise to appear. If circumstances appear to require physical contact or custody, then the police assistant will call for a sworn police officer. I believe that we can continue to provide the same quality police service while providing more time available to the sworn police officer to prevent crime, apprehend the violator, and spend time with members of the community developing their support and action toward crime reduct. n/ cgr Attachment . - . o , ' o o Oi \ I 1 ORDINANCE NO. 2 ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AMENDING SECTION 9.90.010 OF THE SAN BERNARDINO MUNICIPAL COQE TO AUTHORIZE 3 POLICE ASSISTANTS TO ARREST AND ISSUE NOTICES TO APPEAR FOR VIOLATIONS OF STATE STATUTES PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA PENAL CODE 4 SECTION 836.5. 5 6 THE MAYOR AND CO~ON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: 7 8 SECTION l.
