SUBJECT: Authorization For the Participation of the Contra Costa
County Probation Department in the City of Richmond Gang
Violence Suppression Program Grant Application to OCJP
SPECIFIC REOUEST S)OR RECOMMENDATIONS &BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECdMMENDED ACTIN)
Authorize the Contra Costa County Probation Department to
participate in the City of Richmond' s Gang Violence Suppression
Program (GVSP) grant application proposal to the Office of
Criminal Justice Planning (OCJP) for a one to three year period.
The entire grant application seeks one to three years of funding
of $500,000 per year for a three year total of $1. 5 million.
The components of the program include prosecurity, probation, law
enforcement, education and prevention.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The grant application is in the amount of $1. 5 million. Should
the award be granted, the City of Richmond would execute the
appropriate agreements to designate up to $75,000 per year, or
$225,000 for three years, to the Probation Department for the
provision of one (1) full-time Probation Officer per year of the
grant period. No County match is required. Since this is a
competitive grant, there is no assurance that the City of
Richmond and Contra Costa County will receive this award. If the
project is funded, appropriation and revenue adjustments, as well
as P. 3001s, will be submitted for Board action.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION.
The goal of the GVSP is to help identify and eradicate gang
activity in targeted areas of Richmond and San Pablo. The role
of the Probation Department is to enhance probation of gang
members and thereby enable them to better re-enter mainstream
society. The Probation Department would also work with Familias
Unidas to provide counseling and education services.

As the activities of gang members in Richmond and other areas of
-Contra Costa County have risen, so have the negative socio-
economic effects on teh local citizens and public enforcement
agencies. Since the County has no State funding to enhance
probation for gang-related cases, this funding would enable the
County and affected jurisdictions to more effectively offer
Probation services to alleged gang members.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE IMPACT
Failure to approve this recommendation would result in the
inability of the Probation Department to received up to $75,000
per year, or $225,000 over three years, to address the difficult
and challenging cses of gang-related crimes. Authorization to
. participate in the City of Richmond GVSP will allow for a
substantial enhancement of service to the citizens of Conta Costa
County.
