CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Whenever there are disruptive individuals being ejected, we find
they are reluctant to give any information to the officer and the
law makes no provisions for the officer to obtain this information.
As a result the security force has difficulty in tracking those
individuals who have been ejected for 72-hours from one day to the
next . There are many occasions where an officer will eject a
regular trouble maker on "day one" and the person returns on "day
two. " If the officer making the ejection is not working on "day
two" and there is no record of the person being ejected, he goes
undetected. This causes the law to become an ineffective tool in
combating the problems we are having at the mall .
The security force would like to have the authority to require a
person to identify themselves to the officer when a 72-hour
ejection is made . Identification should be required by either
presenting identification or by orally giving the necessary
information to the officer. If the offender refuses to ID
themselves, a citation could then be issued.
We therefore recommend that the Ordinance Amendment be adopted.
