DEPARTMENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Traffic & Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit The California Office of Traffic Safety has reported nearly a 14% increase in serious injury collisions since 2011.

So we’ve committed to enhancing our Traffic Enforcement Team by deploying two fully trained motorcycle officers which can assimilate into traffic for enforcement purposes easier than conventional patrol vehicles. You’ll also see a Commercial Enforcement Vehicle with specially trained officers to identify out of compliance commercial vehicles which will reduce the risk of collisions due to critical component failures and undue stress on vehicles and roadways. In six months, the Traffic Enforcement Team issued nearly 1,500 citations. Additionally, we’ve taken proactive measures by implementing the Traffic Safety Committee made up of different City Departments to include Police, Engineering, and Public Works to identify traffic impact priorities. We believe traffic safety success will only be achieved with the Community’s help so you will see our Traffic Officers out there to keep you safe.

TECHNOLOGY ACCOMPLISHMENTS & STRATEGIC GOALS TECHNOLOGY ACCOMPLISHMENTS

STRATEGIC GOALS

Crime Mapping Technology

The first Police Department in the country to deploy Peregrine Technology software which integrates more than 1-million points of data layered over geographical information systems for crime analysis within seconds.

Robotic Tactital Deployment

Deployed the Robotex Avatar tactical robot for SWAT operations so officers can assess dangerous situations before entering locations and structures.

Integrated Mobile Apps

Enhance Public Safety Equipment

GPS Launching Devices

Grow Community Partnerships

Mobile devices were deployed to Officers in the field which encapsulated systems to increase efficiency and productivity. This included integrating field investigations and capturing digital evidence into single applications.

The Star Chase launch system was added to more than half of the available patrol fleet. This system keeps the community safer as officers launch GPS devices from patrol vehicles onto wanted or stolen vehicles before they flee to mitigate the risk of high speed pursuits.

Simulated De-escalation Training

Deployment of the TI Systems Force Option Simulator which places Officers in critical training situations to develop de-escalation and communication skills. Staff has shared this instruction through the Community Police Academy so our community can perspective share an Officer’s experience in real time scenarios.

Mass Communication

Creation of media room with digital cameras, equipment, and software to produce digital content for outreach and community information briefings.

Page 8 | San Pablo Police Department Annual Report 2018-19

Continued enhancement of Public Safety Equipment through innovative technology solutions to include Unmanned Arial Vehicle (UAV) response pictured above, additional camera locations, and additional digital signage and radar equipment to improve traffic safety.

Growth of Community Partnerships through increasing Business Watch and Neighborhood Watch Groups within San Pablo.

Improve Records Management

Selection and deployment of new records management system which will increase operational efficacy across the Tri-City Consortium.

Disaster Preparedness

Establish foundational Community Resiliency in response to natural and human caused disasters through facilitated training and exercises for emergency preparedness.

This will be coordinated with a comprehensive assessment and increased infrastructure of the Emergency Operations Center within the Police Department and the continued commitment of developing Community Resources through our CERT and LISTOS programs.

CRIME STATS & BUDGET

CRIME STATS There were decreases in homicides, robberies, burglaries, and car theft and a slight increase in forcible rape, assault, and larceny. The definition of forcible rape changed from 2017 to 2018, making the definition broader, which reflects the jump from single digit to double digits. Due to San Pablo PD’s technology such as license plate readers, shot spotters, camera footage, we have been able to assist neighboring cities with solving crime. We have demonstrated over 90% success rate in solving homicide cases. There were no homicides in the past 18 months, and overall violent crime went down 14.6% from 2016.

BUDGET Salaries = $9,266,090 | 59% Benefits = $4,051,590 | 26% Services & Supplies = $2,283,122 | 14% Total Operating Budget = $15,600,802

IN THE CO DENIM DAY Peace Over Violence runs its Denim Day campaign on a Wednesday in April in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

The Denim Day campaign was in response to a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court where a rape conviction was overturned because Justices felt the victim was wearing tight jeans and must have helped her rapist remove her jeans, thereby implying consent.

The following day, the women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim.
