Analysis: Funding the proposed project aims to reduce the incidence of DUI-related accidents and arrests in the community by focusing on two key areas: training and enforcement. To achieve the desired outcomes, the project will utilize funding to host Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFST) with certified HBPD instructors and will also be used to train officers who require SFST training. In both cases, the training will be during officers/instructors' days off and will require overtime through grant funding. In addition to training, the project will also use funding to conduct DUI saturation patrols in the community. These patrols will be carried out by officers who have received the necessary DUI-related training. The patrols will be conducted at high-risk times and in high-risk areas where DUI offenses are more likely to occur. By increasing the presence of law enforcement in these areas, the project. aims to deter DUI offenders and reduce the incidence of DUI-related accidents and arrests. Overall, the proposed project will employ a dual strategy targeting both DUI enforcement and education for law enforcement personnel. By equipping officers with specialized training in DUI detection and intervention techniques, the initiative aims to bolster the effectiveness of DUI saturation patrols and enhance overall police readiness. This focused approach is expected to directly - contribute to a reduction in DUI-related incidents, thereby increasing safety and accountability within the community.

Project Description Funding the proposed project aims to reduce the incidence of DUI-related accidents and arrests in the community by focusing on two key areas: training and enforcement. To achieve the desired outcomes, the project will utilize funding to host SFST(Standardized Field Sobriety Test)with certified HBPD instructors; and to also train officers who require SFST training. In both cases, the training will be during officers/instructors'days off and will require overtime through grant funding. In addition to training,the project will also use funding to conduct DUI saturation patrols in the community. These patrols will be carried out by officers who have received the necessary DUI-related training. The patrols will be conducted at high-risk times and in high-risk areas where DUI offenses are more likely to occur. By increasing the presence of law enforcement in these areas,the project aims to deter DUI offenders and reduce the incidence of DUI-related accidents and arrests. Overall,the proposed project will employ a dual strategy targeting both DUI enforcement and education for law enforcement personnel. By equipping officers'with specialized training in DUI detection and intervention techniques, the initiative aims to bolster the effectiveness of DUI saturation patrols and enhance overall police readiness.This focused approach is expected to directly contribute to a reduction in DUI-related incidents, thereby increasing safety and accountability within the community. Problem Statement& Proposed Solution The problem/need that the proposed project aims to address is the noticeable increase in DUI incidents and DUI repeat offenders in the local community, particularly related to cannabis use and/or other disorienting drugs.The department currently staffs two full-time DUI officers through the California Office of Traffic Safety, both of whom are proactive and are enthusiastic about DUI enforcement and are SFST, DRE, and ARIDE certified; however, because of the recent increase in DUI incidents,the HBPD needs additional resources to combat the problem effectively. The proposed solution to address this problem is twofold. First,the project aims to secure funding for additional DUI saturation patrols in the community.With increased funding, the department will be able to conduct more frequent and effective DUI saturation patrols at high-risk times and in high-risk areas where DUI offenses are more likely to occur.The increased presence of law enforcement in these areas will deter DUI offenders and reduce the incidence of DUI-related accidents and arrests.At present, the HBPD conducts an average of 1-2 DUI saturation patrols a week through OTS funding.With the additional funding,we will be able to provide additional DUI saturation patrols in the hopes of curbing the increase in DUI offenders in our city. Secondly,the project seeks to provide additional training opportunities for officers, including hosting in-house SFST training and sending more officers to external DUI-related training programs. Currently, the department has twenty position vacancies that will be filled by officers who may not have received DUI-related training. By providing training opportunities to these officers,the project aims to enhance officers'ability to identify and apprehend DUI offenders and reduce the incidence of DUI-related accidents and arrests. Recent statistical data supports the problem/need identified by the project.According to recent data, Huntington Beach has seen a noticeable increase in DUI incidents, particularly related to cannabis use and/or other disorienting drugs.This trend poses a significant threat to public safety and underscores the urgent need for additional resources to combat the problem effectively. During 2023, Huntington Beach saw an increase in the following DUI (alcohol)and/or drug/alcohol-drug combo collisions when compared to the average of 2021 and 2022: Schedule A • Alcohol/Drug Combo Fatal Collisions: 100% increase(previous two year average) Drug Involved Injury Collisions: 7% increase(previous two year average) Alcohol/Drug Combo Injury Collisions-100% increase(previous two year average) Alcohol/Drug Combo Fatalities-Victims: 100% increase(previous two year average) Alcohol/Drug Combo Injuries-Victims: 186% increase(previous two year average) Performance Measures/Scope of Work To enhance and support the project,we will define quantitative measurement percentages for each of the listed goals.These goals are aimed at reducing the impact of alcohol and drug-involved crashes in the City of Huntington Beach and improving overall public safety.The percentages are based on reasonable expectations and achievable targets. 1. Reduce the number of persons killed in alcohol-involved crashes by 10% (Quarterly):A 10% reduction in fatalities resulting from alcohol-involved crashes will demonstrate the effectiveness of implemented strategies and showcase a safer environment for the community. 2. Reduce the number of persons injured in alcohol-involved crashes by 10% (Quarterly):A 10% reduction in injuries will emphasize the project's success in promoting responsible driving and reducing alcohol-related accidents. 3. Reduce the number of persons killed in drug-involved crashes by 10% (Quarterly):A 10%decrease in drug-related crash fatalities will illustrate the impact of the project's efforts in combating drug-impaired driving. 4. Reduce the number of persons injured in drug-involved crashes by 10% (Quarterly): By reducing drug- related crash injuries by 10%,the project showcases its effectiveness in promoting a safer driving environment. 5. Reduce the number of persons killed in alcohol/drug combo-involved crashes by 15% (Quarterly):A 30% reduction in fatalities resulting from combined alcohol and drug use demonstrates the project's comprehensive approach to addressing impaired driving. 6. Reduce the number of persons injured in alcohol/drug combo-involved crashes by 15% (Quarterly):A 20% reduction in injuries from alcohol/drug combo-involved crashes highlights the project's dedication to tackling the most severe cases of impaired driving. 7. Host(2)SFST 2-day in-house training courses(Q3: 1 course, Q4: 1 course): Each course will require(2) instructors and will have(4)officer attendees. By hosting these courses,the project aims to increase the number of officers proficient in identifying and dealing with impaired drivers, enhancing overall law enforcement effectiveness. 8. Conduct(28)DUI Saturation Patrol Operations(Q1: 8 operations, Q2: 6 operations, Q3: 6 operations, Q4: 8 operations)consisting of(2)officers each working (10) hours per Operation: Increasing the frequency and visibility of DUI saturation patrols will deter potential offenders and lead to a decrease in alcohol and drug- involved crashes. The project's quantitative measurement percentages will serve as benchmarks for evaluating the effectiveness of the proposed strategies. By achieving these targets,the project will enhance public safety, reduce the impact of impaired driving on society, and contribute to a safer and more responsible driving culture. Project Performance Evaluation Quantitative Data Analysis: Compare previous year(2023)data on all DUI related collisions (fatal, injury, property damage only) after the implementation of the department's strategies to track the progress. Track the number of DUI arrests and their locations to identify areas where targeted enforcement is needed and adjust targeting efforts accordingly. Track the number of personnel trained through in-house SFST training and ensure goals are met. Schedule A Qualitative Data Collection: Interview police officers and personnel assigned to the traffic bureau and/or working DUI Saturation Patrols to gather insights into the challenges they face and the impact of the department's efforts on their work. Communication Plan: Generate a report summarizing the findings from the quantitative and qualitative data analysis and share it with internal and external stakeholders. Use social media platforms to-share the report and communicate the positive impact of the department's efforts on DUI enforcement and its impact on traffic safety. Program Sustainabilitv The plan to reduce reliance on future grant funding involves the following steps: Increasing community.involvement: Building stronger relationships with the community can help to increase public support and funding for the agency's future DUI enforcement and training efforts.This could involve hosting public events, speaking to community groups, and working with local businesses to promote the agency's mission. Improving efficiency and effectiveness: By streamlining operations and improving the effectiveness of the agency's programs,the agency can demonstrate its value to potential funding sources and increase its ability to secure additional funding.This involves conducting regular program evaluations, identifying areas for improvement, and seeking out training and development opportunities for agency staff. Building a contingency plan: In the event that grant funding is reduced or not available,the agency should have a contingency plan in place to continue its efforts. This could involve scaling back programs,finding alternative sources of funding, and prioritizing the agency's most important initiatives. Timeframe: These efforts to reduce reliance on grant funding should be ongoing, with a focus on consistently seeking out alternative funding sources and building relationships with the community. In the event of a reduction in grant funding,the contingency plan should be implemented immediately to ensure the continued success of the agency's programs. Summary:The plan to reduce reliance on future grant funding for the Law Enforcement grants program involves increasing community involvement, improving efficiency and effectiveness, and building a contingency plan.These efforts should be ongoing, and a contingency plan should be in place in the event of a reduction in grant funding. Administrative Support The Huntington Beach Police Department(HBPD) has been working diligently to secure grant funding from various sources to enhance their capabilities and better serve their community. Over the past several years, the department has received grants from the California Office of Traffic Safety,which have been instrumental in improving their traffic enforcement efforts.Through these grants,the department has been able to increase their focus on DUI prevention, implement sobriety checkpoints, and provide education and awareness campaigns to the public. In addition to the OTS grants,the department has also been awarded the Operation Stonegarden grant through FEMA for the past two years. This grant has allowed them to collaborate with other local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to enhance their border security efforts. The department is proud to report that they have been in full compliance with their grants and have maintained a good standing with the respective awarding agencies. To continue their efforts to improve their community's safety, the HBPD is now seeking grant funding to host Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST)training in-house.This training is essential to help officers improve their skills in detecting and investigating impaired driving cases. The department has two officers who are certified SFST instructors, and/or a lieutenant who is a certified Drug Recognition Expert(DRE) instructor. By utilizing the expertise of these personnel, the department plans to host the SFST training at their facility, which will reduce costs and provide a more efficient way for their officers, and other agency officers, to receive training. Schedule A While the department has received funding through the OTS grants,they are currently limited in the amount of enforcement they can do due to OTS funding constraints.With additional funds,we plan to increase the frequency and intensity of DUI saturation patrols, which will undoubtedly help prevent alcohol and/or drug DUI-related collisions in their city. The department remains committed to working with their community to ensure public safety and will continue to seek out and utilize all available resources to enhance their efforts.

Project Description Funding the proposed project aims to reduce the incidence of DUI-related accidents and arrests in the community by focusing on two key areas:training and enforcement. To achieve the desired outcomes,the project will utilize funding to host SFST(Standardized Field Sobriety Test)with certified HBPD instructors; and to also train officers who require SFST training. In both cases, the training will be during officers/instructors' days off and will require overtime through grant funding. In addition to training, the project will also use funding to conduct DUI saturation patrols in the community. These patrols will be carried out by officers who have received the necessary DUI-related training. The patrols will be conducted at high-risk times and in high-risk areas where DUI offenses are more likely to occur. By increasing the presence of law enforcement in these areas, the project aims to deter DUI offenders and reduce the incidence of DUI-related accidents and arrests. Overall, the proposed project will employ a dual strategy targeting both DUI enforcement and education for law enforcement personnel. By equipping officers with specialized training in DUI detection and intervention techniques, the initiative aims to bolster the effectiveness of DUI saturation patrols and enhance overall police readiness. This focused approach is expected to directly contribute to a reduction in DUI-related incidents, thereby increasing safety and accountability within the community. Problem Statement& Proposed Solution The problem/need that the proposed project aims to address is the noticeable increase in DUI incidents and DUI repeat offenders in the local community, particularly related to cannabis use and/or other disorienting drugs. The department currently staffs two full-time DUI officers through the California Office of Traffic Safety, both of whom are proactive and are enthusiastic about DUI enforcement and are SFST, DRE, and ARIDE certified; however, because of the recent increase in DUI incidents, the HBPD needs additional resources to combat the problem effectively. The proposed solution to address this problem is twofold. First, the project aims to secure funding for additional DUI saturation patrols in the community. With increased funding, the department will be able to conduct more frequent and effective DUI saturation patrols at high-risk times and in high-risk areas where DUI offenses are more likely to occur. The increased presence of law enforcement in these areas will deter DUI offenders and reduce the incidence of DUI-related accidents and arrests.At present, the HBPD conducts an average of 1-2 DUI saturation patrols a week through OTS funding. With the additional funding,we will be able to provide additional DUI saturation patrols in the hopes of curbing the increase in DUI offenders in our city. Secondly, the project seeks to provide additional training opportunities for officers, including hosting in-house SFST training and sending more officers to external DUI-related training programs. Currently, the department has twenty position vacancies that will be filled by officers who may not have received DUI-related training. By providing training opportunities to these officers, the project aims to enhance officers' ability to identify and apprehend DUI offenders and reduce the incidence of DUI-related accidents and arrests. Recent statistical data supports the problem/need identified by the project.According to recent data, Huntington Beach has seen a noticeable increase in DUI incidents, particularly related to cannabis use and/or other disorienting drugs. This trend poses a significant threat to public safety and underscores the urgent need for additional resources to combat the problem effectively. During 2023, Huntington Beach saw an increase in the following DUI (alcohol) and/or drug/alcohol-drug combo collisions when compared to the average of 2021 and 2022: Schedule A Alcohol/Drug Combo Fatal Collisions: 100% increase (previous two year average) Drug Involved Injury Collisions: 7% increase (previous two year average) Alcohol/Drug Combo Injury Collisions- 100% increase(previous two year average) Alcohol/Drug Combo Fatalities-Victims: 100% increase (previous two year average) Alcohol/Drug Combo Injuries-Victims: 186% increase (previous two year average) Performance Measures/Scope of Work To enhance and support the project,we will define quantitative measurement percentages for each of the listed goals.These goals are aimed at reducing the impact of alcohol and drug-involved crashes in the City of Huntington Beach and improving overall public safety. The percentages are based on reasonable expectations and achievable targets. 1. Reduce the number of persons killed in alcohol-involved crashes by 10% (Quarterly): A 10% reduction in fatalities resulting from alcohol-involved crashes will demonstrate the effectiveness of implemented strategies and showcase a safer environment for the community. 2. Reduce the number of persons injured in alcohol-involved crashes by 10% (Quarterly):A 10% reduction in injuries will emphasize the project's success in promoting responsible driving and reducing alcohol-related accidents. 3. Reduce the number of persons killed in drug-involved crashes by 10% (Quarterly):A 10% decrease in drug-related crash fatalities will illustrate the impact of the project's efforts in combating drug-impaired driving. 4. Reduce the number of persons injured in drug-involved crashes by 10% (Quarterly): By reducing drug- related crash injuries by 10%, the project showcases its effectiveness in promoting a safer driving environment. 5. Reduce the number of persons killed in alcohol/drug combo-involved crashes by 15% (Quarterly):A 30% reduction in fatalities resulting from combined alcohol and drug use demonstrates the project's comprehensive approach to addressing impaired driving. 6. Reduce the number of persons injured in alcohol/drug combo-involved crashes by 15% (Quarterly):A 20% reduction in injuries from alcohol/drug combo-involved crashes highlights the project's dedication to tackling the most severe cases of impaired driving. 7. Host(2) SFST 2-day in-house training courses (Q3: 1 course, Q4: 1 course): Each course will require(2) instructors and will have (4) officer attendees. By hosting these courses, the project aims to increase the number of officers proficient in identifying and dealing with impaired drivers, enhancing overall law enforcement effectiveness. 8. Conduct(28) DUI Saturation Patrol Operations (Q1: 8 operations, Q2: 6 operations, Q3: 6 operations, Q4: 8 operations) consisting of(2) officers each working (10) hours per Operation: Increasing the frequency and visibility of DUI saturation patrols will deter potential offenders and lead to a decrease in alcohol and drug- involved crashes. The project's quantitative measurement percentages will serve as benchmarks for evaluating the effectiveness of the proposed strategies. By achieving these targets, the project will enhance public safety, reduce the impact of impaired driving on society, and contribute to a safer and more responsible driving culture. Project Performance Evaluation Quantitative Data Analysis: Compare previous year(2023) data on all DUI related collisions (fatal, injury, property damage only) after the implementation of the department's strategies to track the progress. Track the number of DUI arrests and their locations to identify areas where targeted enforcement is needed and adjust targeting efforts accordingly. Track the number of personnel trained through in-house SFST training and ensure goals are met. Schedule A Qualitative Data Collection: Interview police officers and personnel assigned to the traffic bureau and/or working DUI Saturation Patrols to gather insights into the challenges they face and the impact of the department's efforts on their work. Communication Plan: Generate a report summarizing the findings from the quantitative and qualitative data analysis and share it with internal and external stakeholders. Use social media platforms to share the report and communicate the positive impact of the department's efforts on DUI enforcement and its impact on traffic safety. Program Sustainability The plan to reduce reliance on future grant funding involves the following steps: Increasing community involvement: Building stronger relationships with the community can help to increase public support and funding for the agency's future DUI enforcement and training efforts. This could involve hosting public events, speaking to community groups, and working with local businesses to promote the agency's mission. Improving efficiency and effectiveness: By streamlining operations and improving the effectiveness of the agency's programs, the agency can demonstrate its value to potential funding sources and increase its ability to secure additional funding. This involves conducting regular program evaluations, identifying areas for improvement, and seeking out training and development opportunities for agency staff. Building a contingency plan: In the event that grant funding is reduced or not available, the agency should have a contingency plan in place to continue its efforts. This could involve scaling back programs, finding alternative sources of funding, and prioritizing the agency's most important initiatives. Timeframe: These efforts to reduce reliance on grant funding should be ongoing,with a focus on consistently seeking out alternative funding sources and building relationships with the community. In the event of a reduction in grant funding, the contingency plan should be implemented immediately to ensure the continued success of the agency's programs. Summary: The plan to reduce reliance on future grant funding for the Law Enforcement grants program involves increasing community involvement, improving efficiency and effectiveness, and building a contingency plan. These efforts should be ongoing, and a contingency plan should be in place in the event of a reduction in grant funding. Administrative Support The Huntington Beach Police Department(HBPD) has been working diligently to secure grant funding from various sources to enhance their capabilities and better serve their community. Over the past several years, the department has received grants from the California Office of Traffic Safety,which have been instrumental in improving their traffic enforcement efforts. Through these grants, the department has been able to increase their focus on DUI prevention, implement sobriety checkpoints, and provide education and awareness campaigns to the public. In addition to the OTS grants, the department has also been awarded the Operation Stonegarden grant through FEMA for the past two years. This grant has allowed them to collaborate with other local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to enhance their border security efforts. The department is proud to report that they have been in full compliance with their grants and have maintained a good standing with the respective awarding agencies. To continue their efforts to improve their community's safety, the HBPD is now seeking grant funding to host Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST)training in-house. This training is essential to help officers improve their skills in detecting and investigating impaired driving cases. The department has two officers who are certified SFST instructors, and/or a lieutenant who is a certified Drug Recognition Expert(DRE) instructor. By utilizing the expertise of these personnel, the department plans to host the SFST training at their facility, which will reduce costs and provide a more efficient way for their officers, and other agency officers, to receive training. Schedule A While the department has received funding through the OTS grants, they are currently limited in the amount of enforcement they can do due to OTS funding constraints. With additional funds, we plan to increase the frequency and intensity of DUI saturation patrols,which will undoubtedly help prevent alcohol and/or drug DUI-related collisions in their city. The department remains committed to working with their community to ensure public safety and will continue to seek out and utilize all available resources to enhance their efforts.
