DATE: May 8, 1985 County
SUBJECT: THE CRIME PREVENTION COMMITTEE OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Express the Board' s appreciation to the Board of Directors of the
Crime Prevention Committee and its staff for the excellent work done
over the past years in developing and supporting local neighborhood
crime prevention committees.
2. Remove this item as a referral to the Committee.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
Lorraine Rivers, Executive Director of the Crime Prevention Committee,
indicated to the Finance Committee that because of funding difficulties,
the Committee is phasing out its paid staff activities. Ms. Rivers
reviewed the work of the Committee over the years in providing training and
other resources to neighborhood crime prevention committees. She also
indicated that the Committee itself will continue in existence and that
some activities, such as maintenance of the film and video library for use
by local law enforcement and neighborhood crime prevention committees, will
be maintained on a volunteer basis.
Staff observed that one indication of the past success of the Committee has
been the development of local groups with paid staff which are able to
nurture and support neighborhood efforts. This. has occurred in Richmond,
San Pablo, Concord, and Orinda. In addition the Sheriff has the ability to
provide some crime prevention services to the unincorporated portion of the
County.
The Finance Committee expressed its appreciation to Ms. Rivers for her
efforts with the Committee and, also, its hope the Committee will be able
to continue some activities on a volunteer basis.
