Background The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff, an organization of 652 sworn and 257 civilian members, is a full service law enforcement agency consisting of three bureaus: the Field Operations Bureau, the Support Services Bureau, and the Custody Services Bureau. The Field Operations Bureau is responsible for both patrol and investigative services in unincorporated Contra Costa County, and in the cities of San Ramon, Danville, Lafayette, and Orinda, which contract for full law enforcement services from the Office of the Sheriff. Patrol Services Division is responsible for initial police response to calls for service, preliminary crime investigations, traffic control in the contract cities, special patrol enforcement, S.W.A.T., K-9, the Resident Deputy Program, and Project Pride. The latter two programs are community- based, problem-oriented policing projects. Investigation Services Division does investigative follow-up, narcotics, vice, and special investigations for the unincorporated County areas and the contract cities. The Vice Unit is part of Special Investigations. There is currently one Deputy and one Sergeant assigned to Vice. The Vice Unit reports to the Investigation Division Commander. Vice Unit responsibilities include: Investigation of ABC violations, gaming, prostitution, and asset forfeiture. Support Services Bureau provides communications, records management, forensic laboratory services, including crime scene investigations, evidence, property storage and management, and morgue services. Custody Services Bureau oversees three detention facilities, transports inmates to court, staffs and administrates the Work Alternative Program, the Home Detention Program, and provides security for both the municipal and superior courts of Contra Costa County. The Commanders of the three Bureaus report to the Undersheriff, who, in turn, reports to the Sheriff. The Sheriff's administrative staff is responsible for recruiting, training, payroll, Internal Affairs, personnel, special projects, crime analysis, criminal intelligence, crime prevention, Drug Abuse Resistance Education, special districts, and contract administration. The Contra Costa Office of the Sheriff was formed 145 years ago in 1850. It grew as the County grew until 1989, when severe State and County budget cutbacks reduced personnel by over 130 positions. These cuts resulted in drastic cuts in patrol and investigative services. During this time of fiscal crisis, the demand for police services increased remarkably. This combination of increased calls for service and reduction in work force resulted in a drastic reduction in police services. In spite of these problems, the Sheriff was able to implement a "Resident Deputy" program, which combined elements of Community Based Policing, where the focus is on patrol activities, with Problem Oriented Policing. Problem-Oriented Policing enlists the cooperation of other County departments, public and private service providers, community organizations, businesses, schools, State and Federal agencies, and neighborhood leaders and residents to work on the underlying causes of crime. Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control(12/96) i r PROJECT NARRATIVE Because of the decline in resources during these years, The Sheriffs Office does not have enough resources to devote dedicated officers to Alcoholic Beverage Control violation investigations. The Alcoholic Beverage Control grant will allow the Sheriff to hire an additional full-time Deputy Sheriff (Project Coordinator) and a .25 per diem deputy. Vice Sergeant (Project Director) will coordinate the Resident Deputies, Reserve Deputies, and the special enforcement team to reestablish enforcement and investigations of licensed liquor establishments. This effort will bring out-of - control licensed establishments in compliance. 2. Problem Statement Contra Costa County is located in the center of the San Francisco Bay Area. With boundaries encompassing over 811 square miles and a population of 883,390, Contra Costa is among the State's fastest growing counties. Contra Costa's tremendous growth has surpassed the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff's ability to provide adequate ABC violation investigations. With only 1.08 sworn officer for every 1,000 County residents, Contra Costa County is well below the twenty largest State jurisdiction's average of 1.28 officers/resident. In calendar year 1994, the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff received over 230,000 calls for service, many attributable to the irresponsible use of alcohol. The County has both rural and populated high crime areas that it serves. i There are 241 ABC licensed establishments within the unincorporated County, accounting for over 6.5% of all ABC licenses issued within Contra Costa County. Of the licenses within the County, 99 are off-sales premises; 142 are on-sales premises. The remaining 93.5% of ABC licensed establishments are divided- among the remaining incorporated cites of the County, including the four contract cities, served by the Sheriff's Office. The current Vice Unit, consisting of one Sergeant and one Deputy, has attempted to do proactive vice enforcement and, by doing so, has created an over abundance of backup cases, as well as a backlog of complaint-oriented cases. Although several establishments need enforcement, inspection of the premises can not be done due to lack of staff. The infiltration of video slot machines, illegal gambling and prostitution into liquor stores and night clubs has created a burden on the Office of the Sheriff. At several establishments, narcotics are sold in the bars and parking lots. Large numbers of juveniles purchasing alcohol from these establishments have escaped enforcement. Adults, through on or off sale alcohol abuse, have created secondary problems of public drunkenness, disturbances of the peace, D.U.I. and assault cases; alcohol is also a major factor in domestic and handgun violence cases, the occurrence of which is very high in the unincorporated areas of the County. Two geographic areas of unincorporated Contra Costa County have been targeted for the ABC Grant Assistance Project. These areas were selected as initial ABC Grant Assistance targets because of the heavy concentration of licensed alcohol sales establishments and the high number of calls for police service. This information was gathered from the Crime Analysis Unit, Vice Unit, the Contra Costa County Health Department, and from previous decoy operations conducted in conjunction with the assistance of ABC. Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (12/96) PROJECT NARRATIVE Target Area #1. East County - Bay Point/Oakley/Bethel Island/Byron/Discovery Bay Unincorporated East Contra Costa County represents an ethnically diverse area ranging from inner city to classic farm land. Demographic data for this area includes a 1990 census population of over thirty-two thousand persons. The community of Oakley has a unique population wherein one-third of its residents are under the age of eighteen. With this youthful population has come an increased gang presence recently escalating into fatal violence. Drive-by shootings and gang related homicides have become common occurrences. Complaints of alcohol sales to minors occurs regularly. An equally unique area of East County is Bay Point. Bay Point's 1990 population of 17,453, 13.9% is below poverty level. This is the second highest poverty rate in the County. Bay Point also has the second highest minority population. Additionally, East County is the only area of Contra Costa County that has had an increase in both the number of off-sale licenses and the number of on-sale outlets between 1990 and 1994. In 1994, East County also generated the most calls for police service and the most Part I and Part II crimes in the entire unincorporated County area. The availability of alcohol within this area, coupled with the bleak socioeconomic conditions, has contributed to an environment receptive to violence and the misuse of alcohol. In this area, alcohol and violence are partners in crime. Recent operations with ABC and Employment Development Department have been used to close problem establishments. This type of cooperative effort has already met with success in the target areas. Target Area #2, West County - North Richmond/Crockett /Rodeo/E1 Sobrante The second target area, West Contra Costa County, includes the communities of North Richmond, Crockett, El Sobrante and Rodeo. The most noteworthy area is North Richmond. North Richmond encompasses two square miles of the highest poverty rate (over 52.8%), highest percent of the population under the age of eighteen, and highest homicide and violent crime rate in the County. Based on population only,'North Richmond has the highest homicide rate in the State. One of the grocery stores in this area had its liquor license revoked long ago, yet Deputies recently observed numerous cases of liquor stored on the property. Without the staff to observe sales occurring, little enforcement could occur. El Sobrante, Crockett and Rodeo have similar problems, resulting in a rate of calls for police service which, when related to population, significantly exceeds the rest of the County. Until recently, El Sobrante hosted two alcohol licensed establishments with illegal video slot machines; one at a liquor store, the other at a bar. Upon their discovery and seizure, the Office of the Sheriff realized that the slot machines were only a part of a larger, organized ring of illegal gaming. This investigation is ongoing with the Oakland ABC District Office. Rodeo is also a small community, hosting a large government housing area and the third highest County poverty rate. After dark, the only bright spots in town are literally the abundant neon liquor lights. . Project Objectives I. Staff will be trained by ABC Investigators on ABC law enforcement strategies, tactics, community resources and the ABC administrative accusation process. II. Staff and Resident Deputies will provide two (2) licensee education on alcohol and drugs (LEAD Program) training sessions for licensed establishments in the target areas. Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control(12/96) PROJECT NARRATIVE III. To personally, and by news media, inform all ABC licensed businesses of our operation philosophy and assist those businesses with compliance with ABC laws. IV. The Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office will provide two (2) eight (8) hour training sessions on illegal video slot machines for ABC enforcement agents and other Grant recipients. V. Grant staff will conduct monthly meetings on operations and create an information network between Contra Costa County and the ABC. VI. The grant project will conduct six (6)joint investigations with ABC and Employment Development Department at problem establishments. VII. The grant project will conduct fifty (50) inspections at one-day liquor license locations. VIII. The grant project will conduct two (2) long-term investigations for illegal gambling and/or receiving stolen property at licensed establishments. IX. The grant project will conduct twenty (20) minor decoy and/or shoulder tap stings at licensed establishments. X. The grant project will conduct one hundred (100) inspections of licensed premises. XI. The Project Coordinator will develop and implement a program to divert minors arrested for alcohol-related crimes into grant-provided counseling and document number of minors receiving counseling. XII. The Project Coordinator will develop and implement a procedure to insure that all alcohol- related reports will be routed to ABC. 4. Method of Procedure The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff will accomplish five primary goals with the ABC Grant Assistance Project: First, to train Sheriff's Office staff, ABC agents and other grantees on a variety of related laws, enforcement strategies and tactics; second, to assist ABC licensed establishments within the two initially targeted areas to operate in compliance with the provisions of their licenses by providing training and education to owners and employees; third, to take enforcement action on any ABC licensed establishments that fail to comply with the provisions of their ABC licenses, after the training period; fourth, to work cooperatively with the local ABC office to identify disorderly and-disruptive ABC licensed establishments and take appropriate actions. By focusing on these goals, the related alcohol problems and police calls for service should be significantly reduced in the target areas. Finally, minors arrested for alcohol-related crimes will be diverted into a grant-funded counseling program, to prevent reoccurrence of the illegal activity. To achieve these goals, one Deputy Sheriff will be designated as the ABC Grant Project Coordinator. This Deputy will be actively involved in all aspects of the grant program,. including contacting alcoholic beverage outlet owners, providing information and training about our efforts, providing high-visibility patrol with the J-Team, researching police calls to determine problematic establishments, and acting as the liaison between the Sheriff, ABC and licensed establishments. Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (12/96) PROJECT NARRATIVE Once training and education programs have been completed, the listed operational tactics will be employed to achieve compliance. Upon notification of Grant Award, the project will be implemented as follows: Phase I - Preparation: Upon receiving notification of the grant award from ABC, a full-time trained Deputy Sheriff will be designated as the Project Coordinator. The Project Coordinator will establish contact with local ABC representatives to brief them on the scope of the projects and to enlist ABC assistance in developing an appropriate training schedule for grant staff. A .25 per diem Deputy Sheriff will be hired from the Reserve ranks or a retired law enforcement officer. Grant staff and operations will be supervised by the Grant Director (Sergeant),the current Vice Unit supervisor. Funding for the Grant Director will come from both grant funds, .10 and Sheriffs Office funds, .15, for a total of .25. The preparation phase will be completed prior to the start of the grant funding on July 1, 1997. Phase II - Preliminary Training: The Project Coordinator will brief Deputies and will determine a training schedule in conjunction with representatives from the ABC. The training of Resident Deputies, J-Team and grant staff involved in the operations will be completed in accordance with the training schedule jointly developed by the Project Coordinator and ABC personnel. The training will consist of relevant laws covered by the ABC Act, enforcement techniques in addressing problematic ABC licensed establishments, and training in laws uncommon to a Patrol Deputy, such as prostitution, illegal gambling, decoy operations and inspections of licensed establishments. Training of licensed establishments will also take place during this period. The training phase will be completed by August 31, 1997. Phase III - Implementation: The project operations will be implemented upon completion of training and receipt of budgeted equipment (computer). In addition to the grant funds, $104,253.00 in non-grant funds will be used to implement the following enforcement projects. All enforcement objectives will be done in compliance with ABC guidelines, so administrative accusations can be filed against the licensed establishment. Undercover Juvenile Decoy Operations: Underage police operatives will be sent into target locations in an attempt to purchase alcoholic beverages, including both on-site and off-site sales locations. Underage decoys will be used to contact persons outside retail liquor outlets in an attempt to have them purchase alcohol (operation shoulder tap). Illegal Gaming Machines Operations: ABC agents and other grant recipients will be trained by the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office in illegal video slot machine investigations, laws, and expert testimony. Grant staff will investigate licensed establishments to determine if illegal gaming machines are being operated in the target areas. Unlicensed Sales/One Day Liquor License Sales: Operations will be conducted to determine if establishments with suspended ABC licenses or no ABC license are selling alcoholic beverages. One-day liquor license recipients will also be inspected for compliance of ABC regulations. Joint ABC/Employment Development Department Investigations: The grant project will organize and coordinate investigations/inspections at targeted licensed establishments to determine if they are in violation of any labor, ABC and County Code laws. Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (12/96) PROJECT NARRATIVE Sales of Alcoholic Beverages for Food Stamps/Stolen Property Stings• Deputies will attempt to purchase alcoholic beverages from ABC licensed establishments with USDA food stamps. Additionally, Deputies will attempt to sell food stamps to ABC licensed establishments for less than face value. Also, stolen property will be offered to licensed establishments for purchase. Sting operations will be directed at licensed establishments where information exists that this type of criminal activity is occurring. High Visibility Patrol: High-visibility patrol, consisting of Resident Deputies and the J-Team working in marked units and on foot, will be established in the targeted areas. The patrols will be funded by the regular Sheriffs Office budget. The patrols will provide a high-visibility police presence in and around ABC establishments and act as a deterrent to ABC violations. The deputies will also initiate proactive business contacts and conduct inspection of licensed premises. The Deputies working on the patrols will take enforcement action on all observed alcohol-related violations, with particular attention to minors in possession of alcohol or attempting to purchase alcohol, intoxicated persons, businesses selling to intoxicated persons, and those selling alcohol after hours. All information on problematic ABC licensees will be forwarded to the project coordinator for.follow-up operations. Minors arrested/cited for alcohol violations will be referred to grant-funded counseling. Phase IV - Community Involvement: The Project Coordinator will meet with representatives/ merchants within targeted areas, many of whom operate ABC licensed establishments, to brief them on the Office of the Sheriff's efforts and to seek input regarding any problems resulting from ABC license violations. Additionally, the project will be announced through the Office newsletter. The Coordinator will also develop a joint Sheriff's Office/ABC press release announcing project details and targeted areas effected to the news media. The Contra Costa County Drug and Alcohol Abuse Counsel will provide the counseling component at the hourly rate identified in the budget. Phase Four will continue throughout the grant term. Phase V - Data Gathering and Analysis: The Project Coordinator will maintain grant-related statistics and reports on the computer provided by grant funding. Quarterly reports will be forwarded to ABC. The number of inspections, operations investigations and other outlined objectives completed will be compared each quarter to the proposed objectives. The timeline for objectives will also be monitored. The Project Coordinator,will also monitor calls for service and arrest statistics on an ongoing basis in both targeted areas. Additionally, the Coordinator, assisted by the Sheriff's Office Crime Analysis Unit, will perform call and arrest analysis to identify problematic ABC licensed establishments during the duration of the project. During past enforcement operations, the Sheriff's Office has found licensed establishments incorrectly reported within city jurisdictions. These errors can be corrected by use of the grant-funded computer to maintain a data base of licensed establishments within the Sheriffs Office jurisdiction. Phase VI - Final Report: At the conclusion of the ABC Grant Assistance Project, a Final Report will be prepared for submission to the ABC, detailing the operations undertaken, as well as the impact the operations had in the targeted areas. The report will compare all objectives completed with objectives stated in the grant proposal. It is anticipated that a reduction in the number of Sheriff's calls for service will be seen, at licensed establishments. Additionally, ABC license violations are expected to decline by the end of the project, resulting in a reduced workload for ABC agents in the future. The final report will be submitted no later than 30 days from the end of the grant period, July 31, 1998. Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control(12/96) 7. Statement of Intent The Office of the Sheriff will continue to build a strong professional relationship with the ABC. By the end of the ABC Grant Assistance Project period, the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff and ABC will have strengthened the ties and working relationship that currently exist between our agencies. Additionally, the Grant Assistance Project will have provided specific training from the ABC to members of the Office of the Sheriff in ABC enforcement techniques. It is the intent of the Office of the Sheriff to continue to utilize the intelligence developed during the project, the techniques learned from working closely with the ABC, and the professional relationships fostered between the agencies to continue to positively impact ABC license compliance of on-site and off-site sales of alcoholic beverages. The Sheriffs Office would also like to leave other grant recipients and ABC agents with expert knowledge for future illegal video slot machine investigations. Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (12/96) i r PROJECT NARRATIVE 15. Method of Evaluation The ABC Grant Assistance Project's final evaluation will determine whether or not the project goals were met: I. Did the project assist ABC licensed establishments within the initially targeted areas to operate in compliance with the provisions of their ABC licenses? Evaluation data will include the number of proactive business contacts made, news releases made, citizen and business group meetings held, and information articles written. Additional evaluation will determine if the stated number of training sessions were conducted for ABC licensed establishments. II. Did taking enforcement action against problematic, disruptive ABC licensed establishments result in a decrease in the number of calls for police service at the locations and in the immediate vicinity? At the conclusion of the ABC Grant Assistance Project, the number and types of calls for service in the targeted areas and at specific identified problematic ABC licensed establishments will be determined and compared with similar data obtained for the period prior to beginning the project. III. Did the project lead to an ongoing effort to identify and target problematic ABC licensed establishments not only in the target area, but County-wide? Did the project conduct education and enforcement activities to achieve long-term compliance? Evaluation of this goal is especially critical, as it is intended to identify and target problematic establishments that law enforcement may not be currently know about. Additionally, this will allow proactive targeting of potential problematic establishments in the future and allow educational or operational intervention before they become major ABC violators or contributors to neighborhood crime problems. 6. ABC Liaison The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff has relied on the assistance and expertise provided by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control when conducting past ABC license violation operations. In previous operations, the Office of the Sheriff found that.the ABC has continually provided our Office with any assistance necessary to successfully complete operations undertaken against problematic sales sites. During past decoy operations,ABC has always sent agents to assist our Deputies when requested. There have been a series of joint investigations between the ABC and Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff from which both agencies have benefited. ABC and the Employment Development Department have also assisted in past investigations that have forced licensed establishments into compliance, while at the same time resulting in decreased needs for Sheriff's response.resulting from alcohol-related calls. With grant funding, such programs can be expanded and occur more frequently. The Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office has provided illegal video slot machine training in the past to ABC and other law enforcement agencies resulting in a better understanding of the problem State-wide. The Sheriffs Office has also provided expert witness testimony for illegal video slot machines: The Sheriff's Office expert has been subpoenaed for administrative hearings for cases both in and out of the Sheriffs .Office jurisdiction.
