CITY OF SAN BERNP DINO - REQUEST FCC COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The Police Department recently received a Request for Proposal
packet for the Career Criminal Apprehension Program (C-CAP) grant
from the State of California, Office of Criminal Justice Planning
(OCJP) . As a previous recipient of a C-CAP grant, we are now
eligible to apply for additional grant funding as we have not
received C-CAP funding within the last three years and have
maintained a fully functioning Crime Analysis Unit during the non-
funded period. Applications must be received by OCJP by 5 : 00 pm on
April 28 , 1995 .
The C-CAP grant will be for a three year funding cycle; however,
funding for year two and year three is contingent on grant
performance and compliance with grant requirements . The first year
grant period will begin on July 1, 1995 and end on June 30, 1996 .
The 36-month cycle consists of 12 months of Crime Analysis, 12
months of integration of C-CAP components, and 12 months of
concurrent managing patrol operations and managing criminal
investigations .
OCJP will determine the level of funding by taking into
consideration the amount of funds available, programmatic needs,
and the reasonableness of the submitted budget . The maximum
funding amount is based on population; the Police Department is in
Category 3 which includes grants to agencies serving a residential
population of 100, 000 and above.
The three year grant and mandatory city match amounts are as
follows :
Year Grant Funds City Match Proiect Total
1 $151, 200 $ 7, 958 (5%) $159, 158
2 211, 200 23,468 (10%) 234, 668
3 124 , 800 22, 024 (15%) 146 , 824
TOTAL $487,200 $53,450 $540, 650
The funds for the first year grant period will be used to provide
additional staffing and equipment for the Crime Analysis Unit (CAU)
to enhance their ability to identify and track career criminals .
C-CAP program funding is not to be used to subsidize existing and
mandated law enforcement services or previously funded OCJP
activities.
Over the three year grant period, the Department is proposing to
develop and place in operation an automated career criminal arrest
system that aggressively identifies and tracks criminals who live
and commit crimes in San Bernardino. The additional CAU personnel
will be visiting State Parole, County Probation, County Jail and
local arresting agencies to collect criminal related data utilizing
lap top computers that can be downloaded into existing networked
CAU Pentium personal computers (PC) . Digital cameras will be

purchased to record digital images of criminals that will be stored
in the PC and associated with the stored fields of criminal data.
Additional criminal data will be collected in a similar manner by
the Department' s permits clerk who processes sex offense and
narcotics registrants .
Portable PC' s will be purchased for investigators and police
officers for in-field follow up investigations of serious crimes .
officers will have the immediate ability to use suspect information
received from victims or witnesses to search against any stored
data field to develop a "photo line up" of stored digital images to
show. Positive identifications will lead to the subsequent search
for and arrest of the suspect . The Department will realize an
increase in the number of career criminals arrested and returned to
state prison.
