Goal: # 2. PAGE 10 AUG 0 0 1998 Cite of San Bernardino San Bernardino Police Department Interoffice Memorandum To: Lori Sassoon, Sr. Administrative Assistant From: Wayne Harp, Assistant Chief of Police Subject: City Goals Reference Citizen's Survey Date: August 4, 1998 Copies: Issue #2 Dealin,- with Narcotics and Gangs Goal: Use the eight new police officers to focus on areas of the city with concentrated drug and gang activity. The first area to be targeted by the eight officers obtained pursuant to the COPS Universal Hiring Grant will be 9th Street north to Magnolia and Sierra Way west to I-215. The area will also include Baseline north to 16th and Sierra Way east to Waterman. This area is referred to as the downtown corridor. It is primarily residential. The five reporting districts, which comprise the "downtown corridor," are significantly higher in part I crime rates than the city average. This is the first area selected for our Distressed 'Neighborhoods Pilot Program. We will approach this area with what we refer to as a phased problem-solving approach. This phased problem-solving approach consists of the following components: • Notify neighborhood residents that the following enforcement actions are forthcoming. • Municipal Code violations regarding property maintenance and upkeep will be enforced. This will give residents an opportunity to take corrective action. Code Enforcement, as well as personnel from the Fire Department and City Attorney's Office will be critical components of this effort. THE SBPD IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING: PROGRESSIVE QUALITY POLICE SERVICE; Lori Sassoon, Sr. Administrative Analyst Page -2- August 4, 1998 • Parole, probation and welfare fraud sweeps will be conducted to apprehend parole and probation violators, as well as welfare fraud violators. • Concurrent with these steps, police officers and community service representatives will be organizing concerned residents. This will help prevent backsliding into previous conditions and provide ongoing feedback and evaluation of our efforts. • Concurrently with these other efforts, the Economic Development Agency will be a partner in acquiring, rehabilitating, and reselling many homes as part of phased problem solving. The folloivinng items are part of the Violent Crimes/Gan-s/Narcotics Initiative and pertain to Police Departmennt efforts city-ivide: • Continue street-level drug suppression, coordinated Nvith area detectives. hl this project, narcotics investigators have aggressively enforced the various narcotics-related statutes. They served approximately 365 search warrants in 1997. In 1998, the rate of search warrant service continues at the same level. As a result of this effort, neighborhood street dealers have decreased in number and become increasingly more difficult to locate. • We have begun using our ability to bill for extraordinary law enforcement costs to impact properties where drug related offenses flourish. When this project began, there were approximately 12 landlords who were notified by certified mail that they had problems on their properties. One particular landlord has been identified as being particularly euregious and has been sent a notice of violation. The property has continued to deteriorate. With the cooperation of the City Attorney's Office and Code Enforcement, as well as Police Department area problem-solving officers, the property is in the process of being abated. A bill for approximately $4,000 in police services has been sent to the property owner. • We have been using civil injunctions to restrain gangs from engaging in criminal activity. This program has proven to be very successful. Our ongoing civil injunction against one youth gang has helped to free blocks of streets within individual neighborhoods from criminal youth gang intimidation. • We are working on developing and implementing a high-impact cui feiv enforcement program. One of our officers has agreed to take the lead in conducting curfew enforcement programs, both daytime and nighttime in the next several months. Nighttime curfew programs will be implemented during the summer er season, with a anticipation that a daytime curfew/truancy program will be conducted in the fall. Lori Sassoon, Sr. Administrative Analyst Page -3- August 4, 1998 • We have an ongoing hotel/motel narcotics education reduction program. This new project has been successful beyond our predictions. It has resulted in substantial seizures of narcotics and illegal narcotics assets. • Violent crimes "hot spot"program/crime prevention. One of the strategies developed to reduce the number and frequency of homicides is to target reporting districts with an above-average number of violent crimes and narcotics activity with intensified "zero tolerance" enforcement. Quarterly, the Crime Analysis Unit will profile each individual reporting district and identify the top 10 reporting districts. The determining factors for selecting these top 10 will be the number of reported shootings, assaults with a deadly weapon, and other assorted crimes involving weapons or narcotics activity. Once these target reporting districts have been identified, the Multiple Enforcement Team, Narcotics, Traffic, and Area and Bureau detectives will concentrate their enforcement investigative actions in these areas to reduce reported violent crimes. Results will be included in our monthly crime briefings to be provided to executive staff. Issue #5: Crime Prevention Programs Goal: Sigrzificarztly increase participation and marketing of the city's crime prevention programs. • We have created a general and area-specific crime prevention prospectus. This is a unique model designed to meet the challenges facing our city. Our objective is to address crime and fear of crime, as well as blight and disorder. Each area commander will create an area-specific model focused on identifying addresses, crime trends and patters which impact their area. All available resources will be brought to bear on the problems, as identified by both the community and the police department. • We are creating a connzuznity problem-solviuzg guide. This guide %vill contain an in-depth explanation of the "problem-solving" process, a description of the "clean neighborhoods progranz," and the availability of various local public services in a "resource guide." • We are working to strengthen community involvement of officers. Each area command has involved officers from each shift in various community activities. This ongoing effort will enhance community-police partnerships and is a necessary component of successful problem solving. The goal is to have officers become more familiar with a greater number of citizens, understand their concerns, and address those issues. Lori Sassoon, Sr. Administrative Analyst Page -4- August 4, 1998 • Provide community-oriented policing and problem-solving training to community groups. In February of 1998, the department held several community meetings. The purpose of these meetings was to share the department's problem-solving philosophy and gain input from the community on how to improve collaboration in areas of common concern. The information gained from these meetings was used in the development and publication of the community problem solving guide. • Strengthen the crime fi-ee rental housing program within the department. Officers from all the area commands have attended training on the crime-free rental housing program. Also attending these programs have been property owners and landlords. This interaction has provided a better understanding of the program for both citizens and officers. Concurrent with these programs, each area office has been equipped with literature about the crime free rental housing program, as well as the name and telephone number of the program coordinator. Police officers and community service representatives are now prepared to perform site evaluations of apartment complexes and other rental properties. • Develop and provide training to city residents on the clean neighborhoods program. The clean neighborhoods program began in the D Area. The program's purpose is to reduce crime, clean up rental properties and increase property values throughout San Bernardino. Our primary tool is the use of a public nuisance statute contained in our Municipal Code. It allows neighbors of an offender to bring legal action for emotional and mental distress. It also allows for relief to be sought through small claims court, as well as the Center for Dispute Resolution. The program is designed to empower law-abiding residents to regain control of their neighborhoods. • Develop and implement COPS "marketing publicity" strategies. Marketing community policing and problem-solving efforts began in the Fall of 1997. Initially, community meetings were held. One recommendation that was repeated throughout the meetings was that community leadership development workshops be held throughout the city. It ",as felt that this would strengthen community-police partnerships. A television market'ng piece is being created for broadcasting on the local cable access channel. It is anticipated that this finished product will be ready to air during the second half of 1 998.
