The sheriff's office proposes utilizing its LLEBG ailocation to support these efforts by funding overtime, equipment and direct salaries. The overtime dollars would be expended on activities such as curfew and truancy sweeps, trainin„ warrant sweeps tazgeted at apprehending the most violent offenders and targeted enforcement of hot spots for gang activity. Expenditures for equipment wi11 include two enforcement vehicles and communications equipment. The direct salaries expenditure will be used to partaally fiind a new school liaison officer. Estimated expenditures: $21,SOQ overtime $42,000 equipment $22,240 salaries `Requires a 10 percent match totaling $75,211 q�-f�s Ramsey County Correcrions Once an offender is arrested, prosecutzd and sentenced, the corrzctions system esually assumes a lona-term responsibility for supervision. Whether an offznder is sentenced to prison or the worl:house, she,fhe �vill retum to the community under some type o� supervision. A probation oificer and z coznmunity corrections aide have been added to work closely urith the Minnesota Gang Strike Force. The primary responsibility is to intensively supervise selected public risk �ang members. These individuals have a smaller caseload of bot}� adult and juvenile offenders on intensive surveillance. Probation staff have partnered with Saint Paul Police Officers and Ramsey County Sheriffs deputies in tivorking s�izcted e�aening and weekend shifrs and responding to "hot spots" in the community. Strict and immediate enforcement of probation conditions includes random dru� tests, unannounced visits, curfews, electronic monitorin� and the requirement to obtain legitimate employment. A violation of these conditions would result in a return or commitment to prisoa. Probation staff also coordinates interasency and eang information and provides it to the gang unit and courts. Proposed expendihire of funds - Salaries $77.166. Ramsey County Attorncy's Office The Ramsey County Attorney's O�ce in cooperation the Ramsey County Courts, has initiated ongoin; meetin�s with criminal justice representatives to dzal with the issues surroundin� cases involving Quns, gan�s and violent crimes. One of the key issues identified was the need for the court to have more complete information on dzfendants prior to decisions on bail and sentencing. Law enforcement officers, and particularly those who work wich the Minnesota Gan� Strike Force, are in possession of necessary and useful information but are not usually present at court hearinss. An investiQator has been hired and is assiQned to work closely with the county attorney's special �an� prosecutor. Proposed expenditure of funds - Saiaries $77,166. Saint Paul City Attorney The St. Paul Ciry Attorney's Office has begun design and implementation of a inte�rated criminal justice information systzm to effectively support la�v enforcement investi�ations and arrests through aagressive and effective prosecution. The Locat La�v Enforcement Block Grant Funds �vill support this system with funds for equipment purchases. Proposed expenditure of funds - Equipment $136,404. Domestic assault is a serious ptiblic safety issue. In 1997 the City Attorney's Oifice and the Saint Paul Police Department beQan the Domestic Assault Squad pro�ram with Locat Lativ Enforcement Block Grant fiinds. The purpose of this pro�ram is to overcome � �q-1�5 insufficient evidence and increase successful eariy resolutions and tried cases by videofapin� domestic assault crime scenes. Proposed expendituze of funds - Salazies (city attomey's o�ce) $77,796, Overtime (police) $36,000. Saint Paul PolSce The Saint Paul Police Deparfinent has been awarded four technology COPS arants valued at 2�! million dollars. They were awazded to develop a computerized net�vork with lntranet and Intemet access, an automated Records Management System (RMS) �vith extensive search capabilities, 2nd a CDPD Wueless communications platfonn that will place the network and R.iVfS in the squad car for the patroi officer. The nerivork project and RMS proaram development are neady completion and work is beginning on the CDPD project. These_are critical pro�rams that need to be supported around the clock. The Local Law Enforcement Block Grant funds will be used to hire three systems support personnel for these technology grants. Proposed expenditure of funds - Salaries $126,590. The Saint Paut Police Department will use a portion of the Local baw Enforcement Qrant to support the follo�vin� activities as needed on an overtime basis: �ollaboration with Ramsey County Community Conzction and other partners on the Enhanced Probation Pilot Pro}ect. Oufcome: YIinimize criminai activity by youth within the community. �Ve fvill monitor fhe success rate of the persons placed on fhis program. This �vill be measured by their reduced police confacts and completion of this program. Also, we svill monitor fo sl�ow thaf they have complefed fheir education and/or have obtained a job to become productive member of the community. This effort wili be measured by a periodic reports of ihe probation officers on the progress of their probationers. By keepin� adjudicated youth ativay from other at- risk gan� members, there is an expectation that gan� activity will deczzase. Canine Unit. Outcome: Canine Unit detector dogs fvill retrieve sfreet drugs and assist in the confronfation �vith the street level drug dealer. The Canine Unit zvill also assist the FORCE Unit and assist in PORCE UnSt activities. The amount of street drugs that the SPPD Canine Unit detector dogs can retrieve wiil be calculated and reported. This assault on the street level dru� dealer with a concentrated police presence will alleviate the street dru� problem on Saint Paui's streets and in its nei�hborhoods. Interaction and involvement of the Canine Unit with FORCE Unit activities wi11 be quantified and analyzed periodically to see if this partnership has been effzetive in assisting FORCE. Cur£e�v. Outcome: Curfetiy viol�tors tiviil be stopped and tag;ed so that there is a diminution of youfhful perpetrators and victims on Saint Paul's streets. The Ramse_� Counry Tntancy and Curfew Coilaboration has been an on-�oing effort between law 3 q �. ��s enforcement and youth-focused diversion programs for over three yeazs. The collaboration is intent on making the effort a permanenf pro�ram available for a11 �ovemmental units in Ramsey County. $y havin� one location which is staffed and with professional intake workers £or assistance, the curfew violator will be able to access a variety of referral resources. The collabaration meefs monthly and has an on-�oina evaluation component with Wilder Research. The SPPD curfew effort will generate regular reports which vaill be included wiUun the lazger collaboration. Truancy. Outcome: Truancy violators wiIi be stopped and tagged so that there is a diminufion of tzuancy violators. Truancy, the other half of the Ramsey County Truancy and Curfew Collaboration has been the main focus of the coliaboration and has been in operation for the last three academic yeazs. As analysis of the project has evolved over those years, the information has been instructive to both the evaluators and to the collaborative members. Due to the presence of the Youth Service Bureau on both program components (truancy and curfew) and its involvement in other youth crisis services, YSB has been able to establish a profile of the acting out youth. What is emerging is a youth who is both a truant and curfew violator, and in some cases, a youth who has been in need of other sociai services. As this coordination of information goes forward, the acting out youth �vi1l be able to be identified at an earlier stage in dysfunction and remedial resources can be utilized in retuming the youth to a healthier funetion leo�el. Gun Suppression. Outcome: To reduce the number of handguns that are in the City of Saint Paul. There has been success in training officers in techniques to rztrieve illegal guns, especially those that are in the possession of youth. The ]eading cause of death in teenagers (ages 1� throu�h 24) has always been the result of violence £rom unintentional accident.' The Center for Disease Control has now classified violent death of youth by means of homicide as the second leading cause and classifies it as wzthin epidemic numbers. The presence and use of the wn escalates a confrontation into a tragedy. The o�cers will be able to document those gm�s which have been confiscated by utilizin� gun suppression techniques. Police Presence in Retail Areas. Outcome: 'I'o allo�v for the flozv of commerce svithout disruption or fhe perspective of lack of safety in the reYail areas. With the Mall of America havin� been named the number one vacation destination in the nation, the metropolitan commercial businesses have benefitted from this amaction. The rivin clties are now an international destination and the spillover for all kinds of businesses has been a positive outcome which �vas not at first espected. One of the hallmarks of the retail attraction in Minnesota is the overatl safery of the area. Saint Paul must maintain this high level of safety, cleanJiness and comfort in its shogpin� areas if its businesses are to thrive. Grand Avenue, the various shoppina centers such as Hillcrest Shoppin� Centzr, Sunray Center, Hi�hland and Payne Avenue have a need for an on-�oing visible police presence. The dotivntor.vn area also has rebounded from an almost non-esistent retaii ener�y. This rebound is due to a major commitment of the SPPD's downto�vn patrol. � .- ' . - � a q .��s The continuance of this zero tolerance effort is necessary £or the unmediate future as Saint Paul reclaims its place as a retail center. Officers engaged in overtime patrol will document their involvement in the cessation of those types of offenses which detract from a positive shoppin� experience such as purse snatciun�,loiter;n�, panhandling, public urination, public drunkenness, and other negative qualify of life incidents. Neighborhood Service Arza. Outcome: To expand the effectiveness of ffie current NSA program. individual officer use of available overtime for each NSA enhancement program would be audited routinely with interim reporting to district staff pzrsonnel. A district lieutenant would be assigned oversight responsibility and report the progress or lack oY progress on a regular basis to the Dishicf Commander. The District commander would evaluate and dizect continuation or termination of each prob am based upon a personal assessment o£the success of the program. Regular reports on this enhancemeni wo�ild be generated. UniversiTy Avenue "Street Rods" Detail. Ontcome: To be able to police the "Street Rods" event without drawing police strenb h from tfie rivo other disfricfs: Regular reports by those workin� this overtime detail will provide the data necessary to adjust staffing levels. The program initially wouid be to assign four o�cers each Friday and Saturday through the conclusion of the state fair which is the annual even which operates as a ma�net for the street rod owners. Throu�h the month of September, the overtime o�cers would be reduced to two each nijht. Adjustments tivould be made if ihe situation called for it. This enforcement effort makes the area a safer place and it increases the departments presence. Increased traffic enforcement. Outcome: To increase the number of tra£fic vSolation tags �vriften. Officers will be assigned to the kugh accident rate areas at peak traffic times to ensure increased safety for both.pedestrians and motorists.

The sheriff's office proposes utilizing its LLEBG ailocation to support these efforts by funding overtime, equipment and direct salaries. The overtime dollars would be expended on activities such as curfew and truancy sweeps, trainin„ warrant sweeps tazgeted at apprehending the most violent offenders and targeted enforcement of hot spots for gang activity. Expenditures for equipment wi11 include two enforcement vehicles and communications equipment. The direct salaries expenditure will be used to partaally fiind a new school liaison officer.

Whether an offznder is sentenced to prison or the worl:house, she,fhe �vill retum to the community under some type o� supervision. A probation oificer and z coznmunity corrections aide have been added to work closely urith the Minnesota Gang Strike Force. The primary responsibility is to intensively supervise selected public risk �ang members. These individuals have a smaller caseload of bot}� adult and juvenile offenders on intensive surveillance. Probation staff have partnered with Saint Paul Police Officers and Ramsey County Sheriffs deputies in tivorking s�izcted e�aening and weekend shifrs and responding to "hot spots" in the community. Strict and immediate enforcement of probation conditions includes random dru� tests, unannounced visits, curfews, electronic monitorin� and the requirement to obtain legitimate employment. A violation of these conditions would result in a return or commitment to prisoa. Probation staff also coordinates interasency and eang information and provides it to the gang unit and courts. Proposed expendihire of funds - Salaries $77.166. Ramsey County Attorncy's Office The Ramsey County Attorney's O�ce in cooperation the Ramsey County Courts, has initiated ongoin; meetin�s with criminal justice representatives to dzal with the issues surroundin� cases involving Quns, gan�s and violent crimes. One of the key issues identified was the need for the court to have more complete information on dzfendants prior to decisions on bail and sentencing. Law enforcement officers, and particularly those who work wich the Minnesota Gan� Strike Force, are in possession of necessary and useful information but are not usually present at court hearinss. An investiQator has been hired and is assiQned to work closely with the county attorney's special �an� prosecutor. Proposed expenditure of funds - Saiaries $77,166. Saint Paul City Attorney The St. Paul Ciry Attorney's Office has begun design and implementation of a inte�rated criminal justice information systzm to effectively support la�v enforcement investi�ations and arrests through aagressive and effective prosecution. The Locat La�v Enforcement Block Grant Funds �vill support this system with funds for equipment purchases. Proposed expenditure of funds - Equipment $136,404. Domestic assault is a serious ptiblic safety issue. In 1997 the City Attorney's Oifice and the Saint Paul Police Department beQan the Domestic Assault Squad pro�ram with Locat Lativ Enforcement Block Grant fiinds. The purpose of this pro�ram is to overcome � �q-1�5 insufficient evidence and increase successful eariy resolutions and tried cases by videofapin� domestic assault crime scenes. Proposed expendituze of funds - Salazies (city attomey's o�ce) $77,796, Overtime (police) $36,000. Saint Paul PolSce The Saint Paul Police Deparfinent has been awarded four technology COPS arants valued at 2�! million dollars. They were awazded to develop a computerized net�vork with lntranet and Intemet access, an automated Records Management System (RMS) �vith extensive search capabilities, 2nd a CDPD Wueless communications platfonn that will place the network and R.iVfS in the squad car for the patroi officer. The nerivork project and RMS proaram development are neady completion and work is beginning on the CDPD project. These_are critical pro�rams that need to be supported around the clock. The Local Law Enforcement Block Grant funds will be used to hire three systems support personnel for these technology grants. Proposed expenditure of funds - Salaries $126,590. The Saint Paut Police Department will use a portion of the Local baw Enforcement Qrant to support the follo�vin� activities as needed on an overtime basis: �ollaboration with Ramsey County Community Conzction and other partners on the Enhanced Probation Pilot Pro}ect. Oufcome: YIinimize criminai activity by youth within the community. �Ve fvill monitor fhe success rate of the persons placed on fhis program. This �vill be measured by their reduced police confacts and completion of this program. Also, we svill monitor fo sl�ow thaf they have complefed fheir education and/or have obtained a job to become productive member of the community. This effort wili be measured by a periodic reports of ihe probation officers on the progress of their probationers. By keepin� adjudicated youth ativay from other at- risk gan� members, there is an expectation that gan� activity will deczzase. Canine Unit. Outcome: Canine Unit detector dogs fvill retrieve sfreet drugs and assist in the confronfation �vith the street level drug dealer. The Canine Unit zvill also assist the FORCE Unit and assist in PORCE UnSt activities. The amount of street drugs that the SPPD Canine Unit detector dogs can retrieve wiil be calculated and reported. This assault on the street level dru� dealer with a concentrated police presence will alleviate the street dru� problem on Saint Paui's streets and in its nei�hborhoods. Interaction and involvement of the Canine Unit with FORCE Unit activities wi11 be quantified and analyzed periodically to see if this partnership has been effzetive in assisting FORCE. Cur£e�v. Outcome: Curfetiy viol�tors tiviil be stopped and tag;ed so that there is a diminution of youfhful perpetrators and victims on Saint Paul's streets. The Ramse_� Counry Tntancy and Curfew Coilaboration has been an on-�oing effort between law 3 q �. ��s enforcement and youth-focused diversion programs for over three yeazs. The collaboration is intent on making the effort a permanenf pro�ram available for a11 �ovemmental units in Ramsey County. $y havin� one location which is staffed and with professional intake workers £or assistance, the curfew violator will be able to access a variety of referral resources. The collabaration meefs monthly and has an on-�oina evaluation component with Wilder Research. The SPPD curfew effort will generate regular reports which vaill be included wiUun the lazger collaboration. Truancy. Outcome: Truancy violators wiIi be stopped and tagged so that there is a diminufion of tzuancy violators. Truancy, the other half of the Ramsey County Truancy and Curfew Collaboration has been the main focus of the coliaboration and has been in operation for the last three academic yeazs. As analysis of the project has evolved over those years, the information has been instructive to both the evaluators and to the collaborative members. Due to the presence of the Youth Service Bureau on both program components (truancy and curfew) and its involvement in other youth crisis services, YSB has been able to establish a profile of the acting out youth. What is emerging is a youth who is both a truant and curfew violator, and in some cases, a youth who has been in need of other sociai services. As this coordination of information goes forward, the acting out youth �vi1l be able to be identified at an earlier stage in dysfunction and remedial resources can be utilized in retuming the youth to a healthier funetion leo�el. Gun Suppression. Outcome: To reduce the number of handguns that are in the City of Saint Paul. There has been success in training officers in techniques to rztrieve illegal guns, especially those that are in the possession of youth. The ]eading cause of death in teenagers (ages 1� throu�h 24) has always been the result of violence £rom unintentional accident.' The Center for Disease Control has now classified violent death of youth by means of homicide as the second leading cause and classifies it as wzthin epidemic numbers. The presence and use of the wn escalates a confrontation into a tragedy. The o�cers will be able to document those gm�s which have been confiscated by utilizin� gun suppression techniques. Police Presence in Retail Areas. Outcome: 'I'o allo�v for the flozv of commerce svithout disruption or fhe perspective of lack of safety in the reYail areas. With the Mall of America havin� been named the number one vacation destination in the nation, the metropolitan commercial businesses have benefitted from this amaction. The rivin clties are now an international destination and the spillover for all kinds of businesses has been a positive outcome which �vas not at first espected. One of the hallmarks of the retail attraction in Minnesota is the overatl safery of the area. Saint Paul must maintain this high level of safety, cleanJiness and comfort in its shogpin� areas if its businesses are to thrive. Grand Avenue, the various shoppina centers such as Hillcrest Shoppin� Centzr, Sunray Center, Hi�hland and Payne Avenue have a need for an on-�oing visible police presence. The dotivntor.vn area also has rebounded from an almost non-esistent retaii ener�y. This rebound is due to a major commitment of the SPPD's downto�vn patrol. � .- ' . - � a q .��s The continuance of this zero tolerance effort is necessary £or the unmediate future as Saint Paul reclaims its place as a retail center. Officers engaged in overtime patrol will document their involvement in the cessation of those types of offenses which detract from a positive shoppin� experience such as purse snatciun�,loiter;n�, panhandling, public urination, public drunkenness, and other negative qualify of life incidents. Neighborhood Service Arza. Outcome: To expand the effectiveness of ffie current NSA program. individual officer use of available overtime for each NSA enhancement program would be audited routinely with interim reporting to district staff pzrsonnel. A district lieutenant would be assigned oversight responsibility and report the progress or lack oY progress on a regular basis to the Dishicf Commander. The District commander would evaluate and dizect continuation or termination of each prob am based upon a personal assessment o£the success of the program. Regular reports on this enhancemeni wo�ild be generated. UniversiTy Avenue "Street Rods" Detail. Ontcome: To be able to police the "Street Rods" event without drawing police strenb h from tfie rivo other disfricfs: Regular reports by those workin� this overtime detail will provide the data necessary to adjust staffing levels. The program initially wouid be to assign four o�cers each Friday and Saturday through the conclusion of the state fair which is the annual even which operates as a ma�net for the street rod owners. Throu�h the month of September, the overtime o�cers would be reduced to two each nijht. Adjustments tivould be made if ihe situation called for it. This enforcement effort makes the area a safer place and it increases the departments presence. Increased traffic enforcement. Outcome: To increase the number of tra£fic vSolation tags �vriften. Officers will be assigned to the kugh accident rate areas at peak traffic times to ensure increased safety for both.pedestrians and motorists.

The Ramse_� Counry Tntancy and Curfew Coilaboration has been an on-�oing effort between law 3 q �. ��s enforcement and youth-focused diversion programs for over three yeazs. The collaboration is intent on making the effort a permanenf pro�ram available for a11 �ovemmental units in Ramsey County. $y havin� one location which is staffed and with professional intake workers £or assistance, the curfew violator will be able to access a variety of referral resources.

Outcome: Truancy violators wiIi be stopped and tagged so that there is a diminufion of tzuancy violators. Truancy, the other half of the Ramsey County Truancy and Curfew Collaboration has been the main focus of the coliaboration and has been in operation for the last three academic yeazs. As analysis of the project has evolved over those years, the information has been instructive to both the evaluators and to the collaborative members. Due to the presence of the Youth Service Bureau on both program components (truancy and curfew) and its involvement in other youth crisis services, YSB has been able to establish a profile of the acting out youth. What is emerging is a youth who is both a truant and curfew violator, and in some cases, a youth who has been in need of other sociai services. As this coordination of information goes forward, the acting out youth �vi1l be able to be identified at an earlier stage in dysfunction and remedial resources can be utilized in retuming the youth to a healthier funetion leo�el. Gun Suppression. Outcome: To reduce the number of handguns that are in the City of Saint Paul. There has been success in training officers in techniques to rztrieve illegal guns, especially those that are in the possession of youth. The ]eading cause of death in teenagers (ages 1� throu�h 24) has always been the result of violence £rom unintentional accident.' The Center for Disease Control has now classified violent death of youth by means of homicide as the second leading cause and classifies it as wzthin epidemic numbers. The presence and use of the wn escalates a confrontation into a tragedy. The o�cers will be able to document those gm�s which have been confiscated by utilizin� gun suppression techniques. Police Presence in Retail Areas. Outcome: 'I'o allo�v for the flozv of commerce svithout disruption or fhe perspective of lack of safety in the reYail areas. With the Mall of America havin� been named the number one vacation destination in the nation, the metropolitan commercial businesses have benefitted from this amaction. The rivin clties are now an international destination and the spillover for all kinds of businesses has been a positive outcome which �vas not at first espected. One of the hallmarks of the retail attraction in Minnesota is the overatl safery of the area. Saint Paul must maintain this high level of safety, cleanJiness and comfort in its shogpin� areas if its businesses are to thrive. Grand Avenue, the various shoppina centers such as Hillcrest Shoppin� Centzr, Sunray Center, Hi�hland and Payne Avenue have a need for an on-�oing visible police presence. The dotivntor.vn area also has rebounded from an almost non-esistent retaii ener�y. This rebound is due to a major commitment of the SPPD's downto�vn patrol. � .- ' . - � a q .��s The continuance of this zero tolerance effort is necessary £or the unmediate future as Saint Paul reclaims its place as a retail center. Officers engaged in overtime patrol will document their involvement in the cessation of those types of offenses which detract from a positive shoppin� experience such as purse snatciun�,loiter;n�, panhandling, public urination, public drunkenness, and other negative qualify of life incidents.
