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 o� -l3� � 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. 3 .r • •r � 1—��O \ 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. � . . � Y �\��\ 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 and the police department in complying with the Minnesota Victim's Right Act.
