The "Every 15 Minutes" program addresses the consequences of drunk driving to high school students. J. BACKGROUND: A.History: The South San Francisco Police Department was established in 1918 and currently employs 80 swornofflcers and 34 non~swom personnel. The South San Francisco Police Department was one of the first police agencies on the West Coastto embrace a Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving (COPPS) philosophy. The philosophy is demonstrated throughout the organization routinely as part of our daily policing activities. One of the essential tenets ofa COPPS philosophy is utilizing the resources of the police, community-based organizations and service providers, as. well as other governmental agencies, to address community concerns. The expressed purpose is to empower the community via police and community partnership, toaccompIish quality ofHfe improvement. This is a value statement that has given the Police Department a high degree.ofcredibility in South San Francisco, its nearby conununities and throughout San Mateo County. According to U.S. Census 2000, South San Francisco has one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse populations in California, with minority residents comprising more than 59% of the total population. The diverse population includes both older established ethnic communities and new immigrants. It is widely acknowledged that minority and youth populations are targets of the alcohol and tobacco industries. B. Size & Location: South San Francisco covers nearly ten square miles, and is located in the northern portion of San Mateo County. Daly City, Brisbane and Colma border the city to the north, Pacifica to the west and San Francisco Bay to the east, and San Bruno and the San Francisco International Airport (part of which is physically located in South San Francisco) to the south. C. Composition: The South San Francisco Police Department is composed of a Chief of Police, Mark J. Raffaelli, two Captains, five Lieutenants, 10 Sergeants, 15 Corporals (including six Detectives) and some 47 Police Officers, supported by 34 civilian employees. D. Structure: The Police Department has two divisions; Operations and Services. The Criminal Investigations Bureau (Cm) falls under the Operations Division, and is commanded by a em Commander (Lieutenant), one ern Supervisor (Sergeant) and six Detectives (all are Corporals). One Corpora1/Detective is assigned to monitor and address all issues associated with ABC licensed establishments as an adjunct duty. E. Primary Mission, Philosophy, Range and Focus of Service: "The Mission of the South San Francisco Police Department is to provide service in the most professional, courteous, and efficient manner possible." 1 PROJECT NARRATIVE The Services Division oversees the Community Relations Unit, which is composed of a Community Relations Supervisor (Sergeant), a COPPS Coordinator (Corporal), and one School Liaison Officer (Corporal). All three members of the Community Relations Unit teach Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) programs in the elementary and middle schools. The COPPS Coordinator is responsible for organizing and presenting the "Every 15 Minutes" program. The Police Department sponsors a wide range of community programs: Citizen and Hispanic Community Academies, Neighborhood Watch, Sober Graduation, "Every 15 Minutes", School Traffic Safety Programs, Police Explorer Post, North County Gang Task Force, Graffiti Abatement, Rights and Responsibilities classes for community youth, and operates its. own juvenile diversion program, dubbed Project NEAT (Neighborhood Enhancement Action Teams). The Department also works closely with community organizations such as the Domestic Violence Prevention Center, North Peninsula Family Alternatives (Provides individual, group and family counseling) and SSF Unidos (Hispanic assistance program). F. Staffing, Supervision and Evaluation: Upon implementing our program, the South San Francisco Police DepartmentwiH devote approximately 10% of a Detective Sergeant and 20% of a Detective's workload via Special Operations, with the assistance of Police Officers, Police Explorers, and civilian decoys, to accomplish the objectives of this grant. The Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) Detective. Sergeant will be the Project Director, and be responsible for reporting the progress of the ABC Grant Program. The em Detective assigned to ABC concerns will. coordinate all attendant training Special Operations activities. The CffiDetective Sergeant will oversee the overall operations, reporting and progress. G.Level of Government: The City of South San Francisco is the applicant, audits Police Departl11ent is the implementing agency for this ABC Grant Program. 1. Previously ABC trained officers: Two detectives and two detective sergeants have been trained in the past under previous ABC grants. The officers conducted numerous decoy operations, shoulder tap operations, participated in LEAD training, conducted IMPACT inspections of licensed establislnnents and were responsible for several. arrests relating to ABC and penal code violations. In addition to the aforementioned training, the officers also attended bi~annual ABC meetings. The goals set forth by the South San Francisco Police Department as in previous ABC grants have been met. 2. Previous Minor Decoy: Between March 2005 and February 2006,91 persons were contacted during Minor Decoy Operations. From the 91 persons contacted, only 10 sold alcohol to the minor decoy, a compliance rate of 90%. As part of the South San Francisco Police Department's continuous efforts in focusing on ABC"related issues, all of these contacts. were conducted even though we did not receive an ABC grant during the time in which these contacts were made. 3. Previous IMPACT conducted: Between March 2005 and February 2006, some 80 inspections of ABC licensed establishments have taken place. These inspections were also "conducted as part of the South San Francisco Police Department's ongoing ABC enforcement. ? PROJECT NARRATIVE II. PROBLEM STATEMENT: There are 160 alcoholic beverage establishments in the City of South San Francisco. Given the size of our city, South San Pranciscohas one of the highest concentrations of licensees of any jurisdiction in San Mateo County. Many of these establishments have been the focus of crime and incidents of public nUIsance. According to the Office of Traffic Safety, South San Francisco ranks 14th out of92 cities within the same population size for alcohol-related accidents. We rank 11 th out of 92 cities for accidents where drivers between the agesof21-34 had been drinking. Additionally; the South San Francisco Police Department reported 184 Driving Under the Influence arrests for 2005. Target Area: The City of South San Francisco DemORraphicsand Economics: According to U.S. Census 2000, South San Francisco has a residential population of 60)552; and of those residents, 45,886 are aged 18 years or older, and some 14,666 are school..aged youths. In addition, a residential development currently under construction will contain over 200 homes once completed. Two other residential projects will add approximately 500 homes when completed. A 10% increase of total population is projected over the next two years. These additional 700 homes are projected to add nearly 1,600 school-aged youth to our community within the next two years, which is an increase of nearly 11%. South San Francisco is a diverse community, with the three largest ethnic groups as follows: 31.84% Hispanic; 30.53% White and 28.59% Asian, according to U.S. Census 2000. The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) reports that the mean household income for the year 2000 was estimated at $61,764. Sif!uificant Social Factors and Crime: In 2000~ the City of South San Francisco experienced an increase of nearly 12% in population from the 1990 Census. Theincreasein population created a strain on public services and infrastructure, and contributed to an increase in crime. The City of South San Francisco established a common link between violent actions and the consumption of alcoholic beverages. This was proven by the amount of police service provided to calls that were related to ABC licensed establishments including but not limited too the bars) restaurants, and liquor stores in the downtown are of South San Francisco. As such, the Police Department focused on enforcement and administrative actions against ABC licensees in our Downtown area, where ABC license saturation had reached its apex. B. Prosecution of Underage Purchases and Persons Who Furnish/Sell Alcoholic Beverages: Our District Attorney prosecutes these cases with the cooperation of our City Attorney. c. Information About ABC Establishments: 1.) Number of ABC licenses: ~ On-Sale: 98 I Off-Sale: 50 I Other: 3 12 L Total: 160 PROJECT NARRATIVE 2.) Problems at ABC Licensed Establishments: · Sales of alcohol and tobacco products to minors · Irresponsible sales of alcohol to obviously intoxicated persons · Non-compliance of established conditions on license · Public drunkenness and drinking in public · Intoxicated individuals driving Ul1der the influence · Homicide/Assaults/Assaults with Deadly Weapons · Graffiti and loitering issues · Lewd conduct 3..) a. Records of calls for service to ABC establishments (2005 Calls for Service to ABC Reporting Districts) b. Individual and Community complaints (2005- March 2006) 4.)

In 1999, the Police Department was awarded an ABC GALE Grant, using cm personnel to coordinate and conduct minor decoy operations. Subsequently, Business License, Use Permit and ABC License enforcement resulted in the closing of several disruptive establishments in South San Francisco. The number of education and enforcement actions increased over the last five years due to previous ABC grants. Alcohol-related incidents have decreased; however, much more work is yet to be done. South San Francisco and its Pollce Department would continue to benefit greatly, if we were awarded further grant funding to supplement our current budget and staffing expenses, to further our goals of education and enforcement. 5.) Factors Affected by the Problem: The community has concerns about the area surrounding ABC licensed establishments. The area rapidly attracts other criminal activity, when police oversight is lacking. Members of the L1 PROJECT NARRATIVE community seek assistance from community leaders, who turn to the Planning Commission) City Council and City Manager for answers as to why their neighborhoods suffer from such issues. The properties surrounding the ABC licensed establishments have experienced vacancies due to lack of confidence of business success. D. Attempts to Solvetbe Problem: The South San Francisco Police Department conducted numerous alcohol establishment visits from 2005 to 2006. During the year of 2005 the South San Francisco Police Department conducted 91 alcohol establishment visits. These 91 visits were solely forthe purpose of making sure all the establishments were in compliance with ABC. In addition to these 91 visits, countless bar checks were conducted by officers during their routine patrol. Forthe duration of the previous grant issued to the South San Francisco Police Departrnent, the visits resulted in approximately 9% of the licensees furnishing alcohol illegally to the decoy. The operations were coordinated by South San Francisco Police Detective Danny Gil and Detective Sergeant Bob Eastman, ABC Investigators and supported by South San Francisco Patrol Officers. Many of these operations had community members in attendance while they were being conducted With continued funding from the ABC, the South San Francisco Police Department will have the abilityto address problems associated with licensed outlets. The goal is to continue and expand our , enforcement (to include "Shoulder Taps") and education as related to ABC establishments. III. PROJECT OBJECTIVES: As stated by the ABC, the primary goals of this grant program are Hto a.) Achieve the goals and objectives of the local enforcement agreements; b.) Establish close working relationsmpsbetween ABC district offices and the grant agencies; c.) Assist law enforcement efforts and target those lic~nsed outlets that cause alcohol-related crimes; d.} Develop management systems to ensure police reports are sent systematically to ABC District Offices as required, and e.)
