SUBJECT: Police Services Contract With A.C. Transit District
I
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I
I
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve and authorize the Sheriff or his designee to execute a contract for police
services with the A.C. Transit District.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no detrimental financial impact to the County in executing this agreement. All
services provided under the terms of the contract are to be paid by A.C. Transit to the
County.
BACKGROUND
A.C. Transit District is a public entity that administers a public transit system in areas of
Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Until recently, public protection was provided
through a contract with a private security agency. This has proven to be inadequate.
The District is now seeking a contract for public police services. In Alameda County, the
District has already secured a contract with the Sheriff's Department. Contracting with
Contra Costa County would complete the move to public sector'police services within
the District. Additionally, since the Department is already obligated to provide police
services to the District in the unincorporated areas of the county without extra
compensation, approval of this contract will free regular deputies from such activities,
providing more time for other patrol needs.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Failure to approve this contract will jeopardize the ability of A.C.Transit to provide
adequate police services to its passengers and employees and may adversely impact
the District's ability to maintain its existing contract with the Alameda County Sheriff's
Department. It will also preclude receipt of approximately $ 200,000 in revenues paid
for requested services; some of which, as already indicated, are required without
reimbursement.
