The Riverside County Sheriff's Department is desirous of providing general law enforcement services to the City through contract agreement. This draft proposal is submitted to the City of Temecula for discussion. There have been no detailed discussions concerning the proposal with anyone in the city government. In order to meet the FY 1990-91 schedules and hiring deadlines, it is important to address the contract issue as soon as possible. January 23, 1990 I. DEMOGRAPHICS Incorporated on December 1, 1989, the City of Temecula is the sixth largest city in Riverside County in population, with 26 square miles and a population of 30,561. (Per City Manager Frank Aleshire, the State Department of Finance uses the number of registered voters multiplied by 3 to determine population. It was determined through the Riverside County Registrar of Voters that there are 10,187 registered voters in Temecula.) The new city consists of communities formerly called Rancho California and Temecula. Highway 15 runs north to south through the western portion of the city. Though no major highways run east to west in the city limits, two service roads do run east to west connecting the city with outlying areas. The city extends to the southern limits of the county, adjoining with the San Diego County border. The northern limits of the city adjoin the unincorporated areas of Murrieta and Murrieta Hot Springs. The city limits to the east adjoin a continuation of the unincorporated area of Rancho California and the city limits to the west adjoin the unincorpo- rated area of Santa Rosa. The areas east and west of the city limits are sparsely populated with low density housing and agricultural use. Available land and a broad range of housing costs have given the city a "swelling" population. Migration from San Diego County, Orange County and parts of Riverside County have added to the population of the city in recent years. Fundamentally residential in nature, there is a strong emphasis being placed on industry. A portion of the city along the western most limits is dedicated to environmentally sound industrial growth. - i - General law enforcement has been the responsibility of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department from its Lake Elsinore Station. Increased population means increased called for services including both criminal and non-criminal activities. The trend of increased activity is expected to continue for several years prior to the area stabilizing. Traffic enforcement and accident investigation have been the responsibility of the California Highway Patrol. As of July 1, 1990, the CHP will no longer perform these functions. All traffic related activity will become part of general law enforcement responsibility. POPULATION The population of a city is a major consideration when determining the need for service. In the preparation of this proposal, four different population figures from reliable sources have been suggested. In addition to the estimate of 30,561, the following estimates were submitted. The Riverside County Planning Department has determined that there are currently 6,734 dwelling units in the city limits. Using an accepted standard of 3.2 as an average number of residents per dwelling unit, the population would be 21,549. The U.S. Postal Service has determined that there are 9,361 dwelling units currently in the city limits of Temecula. Using the same formula of 3.2 residents per unit, the population would be 29,955. The Southern California Edison Co. has determined that there are 10,127 dwelling units based on the electric hook-ups in the city limits. This company uses the average occupancy rate as 2.6 residents, making the population 26,330. By using the county figure of 3.2, the population would be 32,406. Thus, there are -2- five different population figures to be proposal. used in determining the For the purposes of this proposal, the population figure of 30,561, supplied by City Manager Frank Aleshire has been used in determining proposed staffing and deployment levels. III. REPORTING DISTRICTS For use in the following activity figures, Temecula is defined as the area which falls into the following established reporting districts. Since the reporting districts do not follow the same boundaries as the new City Limits, an estimate of activity in certain districts must be made based on what percentage of the activity occurs within the City Limits. As illustrated, two of the reporting districts fall entirely within the City Limits while two are only partially within the City Limits. Dist. 052D (5%) Dist. 053 (100%) Dist. 054 (100%) Dist 061 (20%) Northern Temecula North/Central Temecula South/Central Temecula Southern Temecula IV. SHERIFF'S ACTIVITY Generally, the Department discusses total called for services which include any on-sight (Deputy generated) activity~ The total is divided into three categories; criminal, non-criminal2 and traffic. The criminal activities, as implied, are violations of laws reported to the Sheriff's Department for a given area. The non-criminal are the many activities requested by citizens, but are not violations of law such as missing persons, check the welfare, emergency messages, etc. Traffic includes both traffic law enforcement and traffic collision investigation. I - See Appeudlz A -3- The criminal activity which is most likely to impact someone is theft. Theft investigations are also the major activity of most law enforcement agencies. Some figures showing this will follow~. The purpose of this information is to lay a foundation based on statistical data which will aid in the deployment of manpower and resources in the City of Temecula. Data used in this report was gathered from the 1986, 1987, and 1988 Riverside Sheriff's Annual Reports and data from the Crime Pattern Analysis Unit's Criminal Inquiry System for 1989. The following information reflects the activity occurring within the City Limits during the past 4 years. The purpose is to illustrate the rapid increase in activity during this time.

TRAFFIC ACTIVITY Traffic statistics have been obtained from California Highway Patrol Monthly Collision Logs. the Temecula All collisions referred to herein occurred on surface streets within the city limits of Temecula3. Collisions occurring on Interstate 15 are not included as these will remain the responsibility of the C.H.P. These figures include non-injury, injury and fatal collisions. See Appendix See Appendix Son Appendl z G - 7 - Traffic collisions have increased by 127.3% in a two year period of 1987 to 1989. There is every reason to believe that significant increases in traffic collisions will continue until the population of Temecula stabilizes. Through the addition of a dedicated traffic team, the escalating number of traffic collisions occurring in the City will be stabilized or decreased even in light of increased traffic. Currently, the California Highway Patrol has no available statistics for traffic citation activity within the City Limits. In 1986 there was one fatal collision. In 1987 there was one fatal collision. In 1988 there were four fatal collisions and in 1989 there were six fatal collisions.

TEHECULA LAW ENFORCEHENT DEPOYHENT AND COSTS BASED ON FY 89/90 RATES Current Deployment Cu'rrent deployment in the area is about 48 hours per 24 hour period. This equates to two Deputies for each of the three eight hour shifts per day. This deployment has not been adequate compared to activity and size, but represents a distribution of available resources. The added responsibility of traffic enforcement and investigation would make this deployment even more unsuitable. Proposed Deployment The Sheriff's Department has determined through studies that the ratio of Sworn Personnel to population should be 1.5 per 1000. This ratio does not include~ personnel dedicated to certain activities such as traffic enforcement and School Resources Deputies. This proposal recommends the addition of one Deputy to act as a School Resource Officer and five Deputies to act as dedicated traffic personnel. Based on the current population estimate of 30,561, and utilizing this ratio, the recommended staffing level is 52 sworn personnel' 1.5 X 30.561 = 46 plus 5 traffic deputies and I school resource deputy = 52 Sworn personnel. Of these 52 sworn personnel, 40 are Deputies and the remaining 12 are made up of Lieutenants, Sergeants and Investigators as shown below. 1 Captain~ 1 Lieutenant 5 Sergeants 5 Investigators Contract City -9- This complement of personnel would be deployed as follows: Watch I Patrol Watch II Patrol Watch III Patrol Target Team Traffic Team Crime Prevention School Resource Officer Detective Unit Supervision Management Administration Midnight to 8:00 AM 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM 4:00 PM to Midnight - 10 Deputies - 10 Deputies - 11 Deputies - 2 Deputies - 5 Deputies - I Deputy - 1 Deputy - 5 Investigators - 5 Sergeants - 1 Lieutenant - I Captain Actual patrol, traffic and target team deployment would represent a maximum of 68,400 hours a year, which when averaged would equate to: o 187 hours per day; o 7 or 8 deputies per days per year. 8 hour shift, 3 shifts per day, 365 Necessarily, there would be a minimum level of deployment agreed to, thus creating a "window" of deployment level. The need for a window is caused by such factors as needed flexibility to address enforcement problems and personnel attrition, selection, recruit- ment and training. Community Service Officer Team -.4 Sheriff's Aide II's In addition to sworn personnel, the Sheriff's recognized the value of non-sworn personnel being used "passive" policing functions. These non-sworn Sheriff's Aide II positions, commonly referred to as "Community Service Officers" (CSO's), will be responsible for passive policing functions to Department has in - 10- include past criminal reports, traffic collision investigations, assisting in crime scenes and any other passive functions that are normally handled by patrol deputies. The intent is to provide a lower cost position to handle simpler tasks, freeing the patrol deputy for more proactive patrol time. The cost of these positions is in addition to the cost for sworn personnel. It is recommended that the City employ a team of 4 CSO's to perform this support role. Cost Determination The contract Law Enforcement rate for FY 89/90 is $53.52 per hour. This cost includes all of the listed support positions required for each deputy. In addition, this rate also covers costs involved with administration, clerical, records, warrants, communications, etc. Community Service Officers are available at a rate of $17.41 per hour. Not included in the cost is vehicle mileage which is charged at the rate of 42 cents a mile for a black and white patrol unit and 38 cents a mile for a plain unit. It is estimated that a black and white patrol unit is driven an average of 30,000 miles per year and a plain units is driven an average of 12,000 miles per year~. Considering the number of deputies in the proposed contract, there will be a need for approximately 15 black and white patrol units and 4 plain units. Using these figures, the yearly cost of operating 15 black and white units is $189,000.00. The yearly cost to operate 4 plain units is $18,240.00. The total cost for operating all units is $207,240.00. -11- In determining the final cost of these positions the Sheriff's Department utilizes the following formula: # of Personnel X 1800 Productive Hours X Hourly Rate = Total Cost 40 Deputy Sheriff's X 1800 Hours X $53.52 = $3,853,440.00 4 CSO's X 1800 Hours X $17.41 = $125,352.00 Estimated Vehicle Mileage Cost = $207,240.00 Total Annual Contract Cost = $4,204,298.00 OTHER COSTS Office Space As a result of growth in the southwestern portion of Riverside County, the Sheriff intends to build a facility near the French Valley Airport. Pending it's completion, the Sheriff will lease office space in the Temecula area. This will provide service to the unincorporated area as well as to the City of Temecula, should it contract with the County of Riverside for it's law enforcement. The City would be expected to pay a pro-rated share of the costs. CAL-ID Each city in the Counties of Riverside and San Bernardino are participating in and supporting a regional automated fingerprint system (CAL-ID). It is based on an annual per capita cost which this fiscal year is $0.597682279. Based on a population of 30,561, the annual share of the City of Temecula will be $18,266.00. This amount is included in the final proposed total found above. - 12- VII. SPECIALIZED FUNCTIONS Special activities that require a need for specialized law enforcement are separated into four categories. These positions are taken from the complement of 40 Deputy Sheriff's under contract. Each of these special positions are outlined below. Target Team Traffic Team Crime Prevention/Neighborhood Watch Programs. School Resource Officer TARGET TEAM - 2 Deputies The Target Team will be a "crime specific" unit for the City of Temecula composed of a team of two deputies which is available for uniformed or non-uniformed details· The Target Team will be used for a variety of purposes including, but not limited to, robbery stake outs, off road vehicle enforce- ment, arrests of subjects under the influence of drugs, drunk driving enforcement, stake outs for drug sales and selected enforcement problems identified by crime analysis. TRAFFIC TEAM - 5 Deputies The traffic team will be comprised of five deputies taken from the complement of 40 deputies assigned to the city. Their responsi-bililty will be to promote traffic safety through traffic law enforcement and traffic collision investigation. These deputies will be specially trained in the area of traffic accident investigation and reconstruction and may also be trained in areas such as commercial vehicle enforcement and impaired driver detection. - 13 - NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH - I Deputy The Neighborhood Watch Program is designed to improve the public's awareness of how to reduce and prevent burglary and thefts. This is done through a program of cooperation of all members of the community, improved home/business security and Operation ID. This position is to be filled by a sworn deputy and may be supplemented by a Community Service Officer. This service will be available to all residents and business owners within the City Limits. SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER - 1 Deputy The School Resource Officer position is designed to provide the local schools with a law enforcement liaison. The Deputy would provide students with information on drug abuse, drinking and driving, crime prevention and other safety related topics. The Deputy would also handle the majority of on campus criminal investigations. This position would be filled by a Deputy Sheriff out of the complement of 40 Deputies under contract. VIII. CITY IDENTITY Should the City elect to contract with the Sheriff's Department, it may choose to personalize it's complement of Deputies and marked units. This would be accomplished by using tan uniforms with personalized shoulder patches as well as vehicle door emblems using a City of Temecula logo. This option is currently being used by Moreno Valley as well as other contract cities. Conversely, the City may decide to retain the Sheriff's Depart- ment uniform and vehicle markings as the City of Norco has done. - 14 - Z © O0 .~ Appendix A - 15 - Appendix B 0 0 0 0 0 0 o(1) - 16- Appendix C ZO - 17- CO 0 - 15- Appendix D o (D Appendix E - 19 - ~ 0 - 20 - Appendix F o(1) ._,.0 mm 0 0 0 0 Z 0 0 0 Appendix G - 21 - TO: FROM~ SUBJECT~ The Temecula City Council And City Manager Ted G.
