BACKGROUND: Assemblyman Campbell has introduced AB 481 which as amended January 29, 1990, establishes a two-year pilot program for youth crime prevention to be conducted by the City of Richmond Police Activities League. The program would end December 31, 1992. A total of $135,000 would be appropriated by the bill, $70,000 in the 1990-91 fiscal year and $65,000 for the 1991-92 fiscal year. This pilot program would provide assistance in increasing the awareness of the incidence of youth crime prevention by interaction between police and youth, provide training for school personnel and community leaders in the strategies of youth crime prevention, coordinate their activities with and cooperate with the youth prevention efforts of other police activities leagues throughout the state, and cooperate with other organizations and with local, state and federal governmental agencies in youth crime prevention. The bill sets objectives which, if met, will indicate that the pilot program has been successful.

M382 (10/88) BY DEPUTY I of the Youth Authority concerning the effectiveness of the program on or before December 31, 1991. The Department of the Youth Authority is required to make a separate report to the Legislature on the effectiveness of the program by April 1, 1992. The Richmond Police Activities League is one of the programs noted in the West County Drug & Alcohol Action Plan as being effective in assisting young people to avoid becoming involved with drugs. It therefore appears that this additional assistance from the Legislature is entirely consistent with the Board of Supervisors' war on drugs and deserves the support of the Board. The County Probation Officer has recommended that the Board support AB 481 and this office concurs with that recommendation. cc: County Administrator County Probation Officer District Attorney Sheriff-Coroner Health Services Director Drug Program Administrator Chair, Drug Abuse Advisory Board Assemblyman Robert Campbell Mayor, City of Richmond Police Chief, City of Richmond Les Spahnn, SRJ.
