STAFF REPORT
COMMUNITY CRIME RESISTANCE GRANT
On July 1, 1986, the San Bernardino Police Department began a Community
Crime Resistance Grant which was awarded by the State Office of Criminal
Justice Planning. During that first year of operation, over 660 programs
were done, reaching a total of 20,007 citizens of San Bernardino (including
all ages). In addition, 28 training sessions were conducted, and 32
volunteers were recruited. Those programs consisted of Neighborhood Watch,
child safety, personal safety, senior safety, etc.--all of the programs that
are offered by the Crime Prevention Unit. Additionally, several new programs
were developed and successfully implemented. These strides forward were only
due to the additional monies provided and the three police assistants whose
positions were funded through the grant.
The target areas for the last Community Crime Resistance (CCR) grant
were the downtown area and the Delmann Heights area. The target area for the
proposed new grant would be that area west of the I-215 freeway to the L.ytle
Creek Wash, and south of 9th Street to Mill.
Although there is a specific target area, it is imperative to note that
the services are provided for the entire City. Attached is a copy of the
final report submitted to the State for year one of the CCR grant. Year two
is in progress at this time and will be terminating on June 30, 1987.
If 1st year funding of this grant award is funded, it will include the
salaries of the 3 police assistant's and associated support and operational
needs, such as, vehicles, printing and materials related to the outlined
program.
The Crime Prevention Unit is in the process of preparing the application
for the CCR Grant, FY 1988-89 in the amount of $90,000 from the Office of
Criminal Justice Planning. Approval for the $10,000 grant cash match and
resolution authorizing application for the grant must be approved by the
Mayor and Common Council.
This required process has been followed in our previous applications as
a matte procedure.

COMMUNITY CRIME RESISTANCE GRANT - YEAR ONE
FINAL REPORT
Durinq year one of the Community Crime Resistance Grant ,
the Crime Prevention Unit of the San Bernardino Police Department
completed a multitude of assignments . For the most part , grant
objectives were slightly over stated , which required a small modifica-
tion . In spite of this , most of the objectives were met by the
end of the year. ( Attached is a work sheet used for past quarterly
reports . It is basically self explanatory and clearly shows the
successful efforts of the unit . )
The target area for year one is bounded by Baseline south
to 5th Street , Sierra Way west to Interstate 215 and incorporates
six reporting districts . The downtown area (described above ) was
selected during year one not only because of the crime rate but
also because it provided a miniature of the crime problems plaguing
the city as a whole .
Part of the CCR money went, to the hiring of three new police
assistants who have greatly exceeded the department ' s expectations
for quality performance . They have been trained in initial areas
of assignment and cross trained to take on additional responsibil-
ities .
One of the most useful pieces of equipment purchased through
CCR funds was the auto dialer, which proved invaluable time and
time again . The auto dialer has been used to notify block captains
and neighborhood watch participants of meetings , crime information ,
etc. It has been easily accepted and appreciated by the citizens
of San Bernardino. Another notable achievement has been the trans-
lation and printing of the majority of our brochures into Spanish .
The distribution of these brochures proved easier as time went
on and more became available .
As far as the target area itself is concerned, an appreciable
degree of work was completed. The Crime Prevention Unit went door-
to-door on at least two separate occasions . Home security inspec-
tions were done , and neighborhood watch information was distributed
and promoted . The residents were encouraged to have neighborhood
watch programs and existing block captains received the most follow-
up information through the mail , personal phone calls , and the
auto dialer. These extensive efforts are only now beginning to
bear fruit . Consequently, more crimes--hitherto unreported--are
now brought to the attention of the police department . Residents
who previously could have cared less are taking action and fighting
back. Thus , the increase in 1986 burglaries in the target area
over those figures of 1985 is partly attributed to a higher percen-
tage in calls for service . In addition , new reporting procedures
mandated by the State on reporting crimes --of a domestic violence
nature appear to be a latent cause for the overall rise in total
part one crimes .

CCR - Final Report
Page -2-
In spite of a month' s delay in hiring police assistants ,
a lengthy delay in receiving funds , and a turnover of both supervisors
and police assistants , the unit met the 12 months worth of grant
objectives in about 9 months of time .
All of the objectives have been met . The activities can
be further seen in the previously mentioned attachment . There
was no appreciable degree of change in activity during the last
three months of the grant period . Second year funding was sought
and awarded .
For further information , please refer to past quarterly reports
and the second year grant application/award .
