SPECIFIC REGUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)i BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Approve and authorize the Sheriff-Coroner to execute, on behalf
of the Board of Supervisors, the attached Traffic Safety Project
Agreement with the Office of Traffic Safety for the COUNTYWIDE
DUI ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Execution of the attached agreement will result in a grant award
of $80, 800 to the Sheriff-Coroner to be used for the purchase of
instrumentation and supplies for the countywide driver alcohol
testing program.
BACKGROUND
The County's Driver Alcohol Testing Program was implemented in
1979 , in part with grant funds from the Office of Traffic Safety.
Much of the instrumentation used in the program is now old and in
poor condition. Local funding is not available to replace or
enhance the testing equipment. The Office of Traffic Safety has
made federal funding available to enhance or improve the
enforcement of. drunk driving laws in local jurisdictions .
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Failure to execute the project agreement will resaofdru
funding to the County. As instrumentation used i
enforcement of drunk driving laws ages and fails, ncies
in the County may be . forced to curtail enfo cemen
driving offenses .

BACKGROUND
A. General Characteristics
Contra Costa County has a population of approximately 815,000 located in an area
of approximately 732 square miles. The County is largely a suburban community of
the San Francisco Bay Area. It is bordered on the West by the San Francisco Bay
and to the North by the Sacramento River.
B. Streets and Highways
Contra Costa County has a total of 2741 miles of paved roads. Of these, 70 miles
are located in Danville, 92 miles in Lafayette, 93 miles in Orinda, and 125 miles
in San Ramon. In addition, four Highways run through the County: Interstate 880
runs north-south through the west part of the County, Interstate 680 runs north-
south through the central part of the County, State Highway 4 runs east-west
through the north part of the County, and State Highway 24 runs east-west through
the central part of the County.
C. Operating Departments
The Contra Costa County Criminalistics Laboratory is a division of the Sheriff-
Coroner Department and provides a wide range of forensic laboratory services to
all law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction in the County. The Laboratory has
44 employees, five assigned to the Alcohol Analysis Detail. Nineteen city police
departments and three California Highway Patrol offices enforce the driving laws
in the County. Four of the nineteen city police departments, Danville, Lafayette,
Orinda and San Ramon, contract for enforcement services with the Sheriff-Coroner
Department.
D. Existing Systems
i
The County Criminalistics Laboratory is licensed by the State of California as a
Forensic Alcohol Laboratory, authorized to administer alcohol testing for traffic
law enforcement. The Laboratory maintains the breath alcohol testing instruments
throughout the County. They are located at fourteen law enforcement agencies and ,
one of the jail facilities. Blood and urine samples from driving under the
influence of alcohol cases are examined by the Criminalistics Laboratory for all
agencies in the County. Mandated training of law enforcement personnel for the
breath testing of drinking drivers is performed by Laboratory staff.
i
The Criminalistics Laboratory has been responsible for driver alcohol testing I
since 1980 when a County-wide program was implemented with the assistance of an
Office of Traffic of Safety grant. The program was immediately successful in
making the enforcement of DUI laws more efficient and resulted in significant
increases in DUI arrests. Since 1980, other law enforcement agencies within the
County have implemented various DUI programs. Two programs which relate to this
grant proposal include the acquisition of preliminary alcohol screening (PAS)
SOTS-38b (Rev 9/91)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Page 2
devices by the California Highway Patrol and the collaborative use of sobriety
checkpoints by CHP and local police agencies.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
For a variety of reasons, DUI enforcement activity in Contra Costa County has declined
despite indications that the incidence of drinking drivers has remained stable. This is
reflected in the constant level of fatalities throughout the County:
Year 1988 1989 1990 1991
Arrests 7764 7548 7623 6288
Fatalities 40 45 43 46
One factor in this decline is the inability of the Criminalistics Laboratory to provide
adequate support services to the DUI enforcement units. Three problem areas of
particular concern are addressed by this project.
The first problem area relates to the support of sobriety checkpoints. The California
Highway Patrol, in conjunction with the city agencies, has employed sobriety checkpoints
as an enforcement tool. Frequent requests are made to the Criminalistics Laboratory to
supply a breath testing instrument for these checkpoints. However, the laboratory's two
back-up instruments are frequently not available. The back-up instruments are needed to
replace instruments in the field when they are out of service for repair and in breath
operator training classes. Many of the instruments are now eight years old and
requiring more frequent repairs. It is not unusual to have to shut down breath testing
sites because no back-up instrument is available. The present situation discourages the
{ use of sobriety checkpoints and discourages traffic officers from arresting possible DUI
subjects. An additional Intoxilyzer 5000 breath instrument, compatible with those
already in service, is needed to ensure enough to cover the sobriety checkpoints.
I
The second area of concern relates to the recognition of drinking drivers with blood
alcohol levels close to the legal limit. In 1990, the California Highway Patrol
implemented a program for field testing questionable DUI subjects with PAS devices. The j
r program was a success with CHP achieving an average breath alcohol concentration on its
test subjects of 0.1402 compared to the County wide average breath alcohol level of
0.166X. Unfortunately, only a few PAS devices are in use by the city police departments i
in Contra Costa. Approximately 23Z of all CHP arrests are between 0.052 and 0.10Z as
compared to only 13Z for the four cities which contract for police services with the
County (Danville, Lafayette, Orinda and San Ramon) which do not use PAS devices. Even
within these four cities, CHP has a higher rate of lower alcohol concentration arrests.
Additional PAS devices are needed for those agencies within the County which do not have
access to them.
Even though the PAS devices are readily available to CHP, there are indications that the
devices are not being used appropriately. Criminalistics Laboratory staff occasionally
ride along with CHP to observe DUI arrests. Many instances have been observed in which
OTS-38b (Rev 9/91)
SCHEDULE A
PROJECT NO.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION Page 3
the traffic officers did not require the test subjects to blow into the PAS device long
enough to get an accurate reflection of the breath alcohol level. These drivers, who
probably exceed the 0.081 limit, are invariably let go. This is most likely a
deficiency in the training and awareness of traffic officers. The PAS program was
implemented by CHP in Contra Costa County without the assistance or consultation of the
Criminalistics Laboratory staff. Consequently, there has been no mechanism to provide
training to ensure the proper calibration and use of the PAS devices. Additional
training is necessary to maximize the effectiveness of the PAS devices already in use in
the County.
The third area of concern relates to the time restrictions necessary to'meet the needs
of the Department of Motor Vehicles in Administrative per se license revocations. The
Criminalistics Laboratory is still using a gas chromatograph system acquired in 1979 for
the analysis of blood and urine samples. This equipment is in poor condition, and
replacement parts are no longer available. Extensive and frequent down times occur with
the equipment. This makes it virtually impossible to produce case results within the
time limits needed for DMV. We anticipate that it will not be long before the
analytical equipment will be permanently out of use due to the inability to repair it.
Even when the system is operating properly, it is slow, inflexible and antiquated. It
is imperative that the old blood and urine alcohol testing equipment be replaced before
there is no longer any mechanism for analysis, much less a timely mechanism. A new Gas
chromatograph system with increased automation of test results, the ability to interface
with the existing laboratory database, and which could produce finished reports is
needed to reduce the time to produce reports of test results.
At one time, new programs and equipment within the Criminalistics Laboratory served to
stimulate interest and enthusiasm for DUI enforcement within Contra Costa County. The
Laboratory no longer has the financial resources to respond to the needs of the DUI
enforcement teams in the County. Instead, the Criminalistics Laboratory has become an
impediment to effective DUI enforcement.
ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM
Until 1987, revenue generated by alcohol fines exceeded the actual cost of alcohol
testing services in the Criminalistics Laboratory. Excess revenue was used to replace
the old breath testing instruments with a newer model and expand services as needed by
law enforcement agencies in the County. Since that time, there has been no excess
revenue. Contra Costa has faced severe financial problems the past few years. Last
year 100 positions were lost in the Sheriff-Coroner Department alone. The are no
financial resources available to enhance the Alcohol Testing Program.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The overall goal of the project is to enhance support services offered to law
enforcement agencies by the Criminalistics Laboratory resulting in more effective
enforcement of the DUI laws. The project objectives are:
1. To reduce the average blood alcohol concentration from 0.1662 to 0.1402 and
increase the portion of drivers identified with blood alcohol concentrations

of 0.08% and 0.091 to 13Z in the specified project cities by the end of the
project period.
2. To reduce the number of blood and urine tests exceeding the 10 day turn
around time needed to meet DMV Administrative per se needs from 8Z of tests
j to less than 2Z of tests by the end of the project year.
I
3. To provide breath instrumentation at a minimum of eight sobriety checkpoints
during the second six months of the project year.
4. To provide training to the California Highway Patrol officers in the
Martinez office and the project city officers regarding the theory,
maintenance and use of the PAS devices during the project year.
5. To develop and distribute a training document to all traffic enforcement
officers in the County on the recognition of driving and other symptoms of
alcohol impairment and problems associated with alcohol testing by the end
of the project year.
