The Ramsey County Sheriff's office proposes utilizing its LLEBG allocation to fund
overtime. The initiatives undertaken with these fixnds will include gang identification
efforts, warrant sweeps that target the most violent offenders, and concentrated
enforcement and surveillance activities aimed at repeat offenders.
Proposed expenditures of funds - Overtime $77,015.
Ramsev Countv Corrections
Once an offender is arrested, prosecuted and sentenced, the corrections system usually
assumes a long-teim responsibility for supervision. Whether an offender is sentenced to
prison or the conectional facility, the offender will return to the community under some
type of supervision. A probation officer and a community corrections aide have been
added to work closely with the Minnesota Gang Strike Force. The primary responsibility
is to provide intensive supervision for selected public risk gang members. These probation
officers have a smaller caseload of both adult and juvenile offenders on mtensive
surveillance. Probation staff have partnered with Saint Paul Police Officers and Ramsey
County Sheriff's deputies in working selected evening and weekend shifts and responding
O\-t'J�`
to "hot spots" in the community. Strict and immediate enforcement of probation
conditions includes random drug tests, unannounced visits, curfews, electronic monitoring
and the requirement to obtain legitimate employment. A violation of the conditions would
result in a return or commitment to prison. Probation staff also coordinates interagency
and gang information and provides it to the gang unit and courts.
Proposed expenditure of funds - Salaries �77,015.
Ramse� Countv Attornev's Office
The Ramsey County Attoiney's Office in cooperation the Ramsey County Courts has
initiated ongoing meetings with criminal justice representatives to deal �vith the issues
surrounding cases involving guns, gangs and violent crimes. One of the key issues
"identified was the need for the court to have more complete information on defendants
prior to decisions on bail and sentencing. Law enforcement officers, and particularly those
who work with the Minnesota Gang Strike Force, are in possession of necessary and
useful information but aze not usually present at court hearings. An investigator has been
hired to work closely with Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies to insure full
access to essential information from those agencies to special gang prosecutors and all
other adult and juvenile prosecutors.
Proposed expenditure of funds - Salaries $48,571.
Saint Paul Police
The Saint Paul Police Department will use of portion of the Local Law Enforcement grant
to support the following activities as needed on an overtime basis:
Special Events Operations and Community/Volunteer Services Unit:
Large-scale special events such as the Grand Old Day Celebration, Cinco de Mayo, Winter
Carnival Cn�and Day and Torchlight Parades, Taste of Minnesota, and the Twin Cities
Marathon contribute to the overall vitality of the city. Previous year's experience
demonstrates a need for trouble shooting and problem resolution strategies on event days.
There is a need for the Saint Paul Police Department to plan and prepare for the task of
managing and coordinating personnel, traffic, and crowds. At events of these size,
situations often arise which both frustrates residents and jeopazdizes the success of the
events themselves including the increased amount of foot traffic, auto traffic, window
peepers and thefts. Having an officer available to respond on scene rather than "next
year" assures residents that the police department cares and is willing to insure that level
of "quality of life" they expect in their neighborhoods.
AnticiDUtecl Goals/O�itcome: To police events without draining city�vide police resources.
Solicit input from promoters as to the needs and requirements for the special event or
detail. Assignment of officers to police the detail area for issues sucTOUnding the safe and
2

efficient movement of both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, and crezting a feeling of safety
and comfort for those in attendance.
Focusing Our Resources On Community Empowerment (F.O.R.C.E.) Unit:
The Saint Paul Police Department recognizes the negative and pen influence that
drugs and narcotics have on the quality of life in our community- The department also
recognizes that drug use and related activities are a social phenomenon that requires a
coordinated response beriveen police officers, residents, and the combined resources of
the City of Saint Paul. The FORCE Unit is designed to combine resources in an effort to
attack the scourge of drug use through a variety of strategies. F.O.R.C.E. Uait has found
through unit investigations that suspects in street level narcotics in� are very
mobile, involved in other criminal activity and often create problem properties where they
conduct their illegal activities. There is a strong need to address problem properties and
behavior through the use of ` jump-ouY' details, agent buy operations, knock and talk
details and search warrants. Additional emphasis needs to be directed toward block club
meetings, administrative follow-up, cooperating agency meetings and educational
presentations. High crime areas will be defined by F.O.R.C.E. based on numbers of
resident complaints, concentration of problem property cases, computerized mapping and
intelligence infoimation generated by patrol officers and informants.
AnticiDated Goals/Oectcome: Address crime "hot spots" city tivide, to reduce street level
narcotics activity, associated crimes, and problem properties in the target areas. Overtime
funding will strengthen the F.O.R.C.E. Unit's specialized approach to intervening "hot
spots" by pernutting more time for coordination with neighborhood service area
supervisors, district council neighborhood crime prevention coordinator and relevant city
services such as code enforcement, fire mspections, and licensing.
Canine Unit:
The primary purpose of the canine unit is to serve as a bac;up for the patrol officer
and as a support unit to the patrol function. Also, the unit is vital m stemming the flow of
illegal narcotics via use of the canine uniYs detector dog program Officers and their
canine partners trained in narcotics interdiction tactics would avail themselves on an
overtime basis to those locations where illegal narcotics enter Saint Paul. Potential
locations include the train, bus depots, and airports, Federal Express officers, UPS
distribution centers, and the U.S. Postal Service branches.
Anticipated Goals/Oactcome: Canine unit detector dogs and their handlers will seize drugs
and proceeds from drug sales. Not only will the presence of a canine team increase drug
interventions but also will increase officer safety.

Gun Issues - Possession and Discharge of Firearms:
In 1998, there were 627 calls for police service for dischazge of a firearm within city limit.
Trained officers retrieve illegal guns as well as document guns that have been confiscated
by utilizing gun suppression techniques.
Antici�atecl Goals/Outcome: Reduce the level of intentional discharge of firearms by
intervening with violent offenders �vith a documented history of gun violence. Gathering
and sharing of intelligence data, training on gun interdiction techniques and use of
technology to improve communications beriveen department resources, and law
enforcement agencies, to accomplish outcome.
Liquor Compliance/Liquor Violations/Disorderly Houses:
A great deal of public attention has recently been directed at the ease with which minors
aze able to acquire alcoholic beverages. This attention has lead the legislature to enhance
penalties associated with providing alcohol to minors. In addition, one residence being
used as a disorderly house can effectively destroy the peace and tranquility of a
neighborhood and bring in other related crime. Frequently, party houses, after hour's
residences, or homes being used to "bootleg" alcoholic beverages are identified.
Antici�atecl Gonls/Outcome: Use of an overtime police officer to assist in an increased
number of investigations of licensed beverage establishments to determine compliance
with state statutes, and other investigations which involve the use of alcohol by minors or
disorderly houses.
Narcotics/Special Investigation Unit (S.I.U):
Saint Paul and its adjoining suburban communities contained within Ramsey and Dakota
Counties has experienced large impact from the burgeoning methamphetarnine problem.
Prior to 1998, St. Paul drug seizures were comprised largely of cocaine and marijuana
with a representation of other illegal drugs including methamphetamine. Beginning in
1998, methamphetamine seizures quickly outpaced other drug seizures by a margin of
almost 2 to 1. Saint PauPs west side community is becoming known as"source city" for
methamphetamine. Highly financed criminal organizations importing from Mexico, using
mostly methamphetamine distributors locally, blend into the illegal activities and avoiding
prosecution. The majority of the methamphetamine coming into Saint Paul and the Saint
Paul suburban community originates from labs in California and Mexico.
Afitici�ated Goals/Outcome: Overtime availability will allow officers to more thoroughly
pursue investigations related to the west side methamphetamine market resulting in an
increase in drug seizures and arrest.

Neighborhood Service Area (NSA):
Neighborhood policing identifies with geographic azeas within each district, which are
referred to as Neighborhood Service Areas(NSA). NSA's incorporate well-defined
neighborhoods within Saint Paul into police service azeas. Neighborhood policing brings
residents, business owners, and the police officers closer together to work on common
issues that affect the quality of life and the public safety in that neighborhood. Officers
identify problems and take proactive measures to solve public safety related assues �vith
community support and assistance.
Antici�ated Goals/Outcome: The program will focus overtime hours on a proactive
approach to solving problems identified by ofFicers working in collaboration with district
- councils, and both the business and community groups. Issues to address include drug
dealing, disorderly people, drunks, pickpockets and problem properties that impact quality
of life issues. In addition, those problems identified will be assigned to an officer who will
be responsible for the action and outcome. Further attention will be focused on multi-
housing areas.
Park and Recreation Center Details:
Saint Paul recreation centers provide residents with a place in their neighborhood to learn
and have fun, and also serve as the community's gathering spot - the focus of Saint Paul's
famously strong neighborhoods. The over 1.5 million visits made annually attest to their
effectiveness in meeting those needs. Both Saint Paul police officers and police park
rangers are involved in maintaining a safe environment for the parks.
Antici�ated Goals/Outcome: To provide a safe environment in the City of Saint Paul's
parks to allow children to play and learn. Police officers can work in the parks as mentors
and youth workers allowing children to have the opportunity to enjoy activities and to see
police officers in roles outside that of the traditional "police officer". Officers will also
develop longer standing relationships with youth and park staff preventing problems from
occurring, or reoccuiring at the recreation centers.
Police Presence in Retail and Commercial Areas:
One of the hallmarks of the retail attraction in Minnesota is the ocerall safety of the area.
Unfortunately, commercial azeas are often the most dense areas of crime in a
neighborhood. Commercial strips currently identified include Hillcrest Shopping Center,
Sunray Center, and Midway Center.
AnticiQated Goals/Otitcome:
Officers will engage in patrol of area retail centers addressing, but not limiting themselves
to, the issues of loitering, purse snatching, robberies, burglaries, frauds, panhandling, and
.� . '.�
O� -t�o�
public drunkenness.
Prostitution Suppression:
Key factors in the perceived quality of a neighborhood, from a resident vie�v as well as
from the outside, is the amount of street level cruninal activity that is observed. One crime
that can drastically affect this view is street prostitution. The presence of street p:ostitutes
in a given neighborhood can send the message that this type of crime is tolerated or
minimized in the view of the neighborhood and law enforcement. This atmosphere can
encourage other street level crimes to grauitate to the area. Once this type of reputation is
established patrons of the prostitutes make this neighborhood their area of choice when
looking to establish contact with a prostitute. It is estimated that 40% of patrons do not
live within the city limit of Saint Paul. The patron may approach female residents of the
area believing them to be prostitutes, and children may be exposed to street level sex acts
between the patron and prostitute.
The times when acts of prostitution occur have no identifiable pattern. This element
inhibits even the most effective police agency from being able to plan suppression
techniques or to increase activity without the benefit of funding over and above what
cuirently is present. An effective suppression program also has to allow for the use of a
variety of undercover officers. These undercover officers, in the role of patron and/or
prostitute, have to be drawn from other organizational units within the police department.
This can hamper the other units' from fulfilling their mandates in crime suppression or
assigned goals and objectives.
Anticipated Goals/Ozatcome: Vice Unit will strategically schedule police officers from
within the department to participate in enhanced prostitution suppression activities
without deleting their ability to contribute to meeting the goals of their own organization
unit as well as make neighborhood of Saint Paul free of street level criminal activity.
Traffic Enforcement Details:
One of the largest sources of complaints the police department receives is traffic related
quality of life issues. Pedestrian safety, speed, and general safety concems are all a part of
Saint Paul's resident's perception of a safe city.
Anticipatecl Goals/Outcome: Overtime funding will be used to deploy special traffic
enforcement details to "hot spots" identified by residents' input and computerized
mappmg.
Truancy/Curfew:
To find solutions for increased truancy and curfew violations in Saint Paul and its
3

o�-l1c\
surrounding suburbs, the Ramsey County and Curfew Center(RCTCC) was established in
1994. A representative from Saint Paul Police Department sits on the executive
committee that oversees and coordinates the collaborative �vork of RCTCC. During the
1997-98 school yeaz, the truancy center serviced approximately 2, 000 students. Truants
apprehended by law enforcement officers comprised 71 % of the students invol��ed.
Between June 12, 1996 and Apri15, 1997, the curfe�vi center served 1,382 youth ranging
in age from 8 to 17 with three-fourths between 15 and 17 yeazs old.
Anticioated Goals/Oa�tcome: Truancy officers will be assigned during peak school hours.
Curfew s�veeps will be performed several times per month. Curfe�v/Truancy violators will
be stopped and tagged so there is a decrease in school age youth present during school
times and times after curfe�v.
Proposed use of funds - Overtime $125,166
The Saint Paul Police Department has been awarded four technology COPS grants valued
at 2.4 million dollars. They were awarded to develop a computerized nerivork with
Intranet and Internet access, an automated Records Management System (RMS) with
extensive search capabilities, and a CDPD Wireless communications platfonn that will
place the network and RMS in the squad car for the patrol officer. The net�vork project
and RMS program development are nearly comgleted and work is beginning on the CDPD
project. These are critical programs that need to be supported around the clock. The
Local Law Enforcement Block Crrant funds will be used to hire three systems support
personnel for these technology grants.
Proposed expenditure of funds - Salaries $124,574.
The Saint Paul Police Department will hire an individual to assist the city attomey's office

individual will design and implement a Victim-Witness Liaison Program that will assist
victims in navigating through the criminal justice system, ensuring the opportunity to
participate in the process and be heard at sentencing hearings.
Proposed expenditure of funds - Salaries $60,138.
The Saint Paul Police Department will purchase equipment with these funds to enhance
the department's use of technology in law enforcement. Purchases will include but are not
limited to protective gear for police officer entry teams, purchase of firearn�s, and
enhancements to the departmenYs crime mapping equipment, etc.
Proposed use of funds - Equipment $130,924.
