SAFE & SOBER APPLICATION FOR FY 1997
NARRATIVE
The City of St . Paul is the capital of Minnesota. It has a
population of approximately 275, 000 and an area of about 56 square
miles . It is one of the oldest cities in Minnesota. It is the
"core" city for the entire East Metro area. As such it is the
center of many social, civic, business, industrial, religious and
other concerns .
Like many established core cities, St . Paul has seen substantial
growth in the surrounding suburbs . These suburbs have drawn many
middle class residents out of St . Paul . This has left St . Paul
with a large lower class . Due to a past history of S.E. Asi�an ,
settlement in St . Paul, and new immigrants from refugee camps that
are closing, St . Paul has become home to a very large S .E. Asian
community. The Hispanic community has also experienced a steady
growth in St .Paul . Cultural and language problems have placed
added burdens on the agencies serving this diverse population.
Many of the new immigrants know little of our laws, especially
traffic laws .
Older neighborhoods, built when trolleys provided much of the
transportation in the City, have stagnated. Modern mass transist
consists of buses . Bus ridership is declining as service drops due
to decreasing budgets . Nearly all available land within the City
limits has been developed. New development consists primarily of
tearing down old structures, with a variety of inherent problems,
to build new structure . This process is expensive .
The tax base in St . Paul is also stagnant . The current Mayor has
promised not to raise property taxes . The projected 1997 budget
for the St . Paul Police Department is $800, 000 less than the
current budget . The 1997 police labor contract with the City has
no� been settled to date . Salary increases estimated . from
com�anion bargaining units suggest a modest cost of living raise
fo� police officers . This raise has not been figured into the 1997
poiice budget . If left unresolved, the total sworn personnel in
the St . Paul Police may decline in 1997 . Plans are already
und�rway to reduce middle managers in the Police Department . The
Police Traffic and Accident Unit has suffered a �4% loss in staff
s'---..� 198Q .

Tags : The number of tags being issued has
steadily declined since 1991 . S&S
funds and a special City Council
grant helped increase tag levels in
1995 . See attached limited data.
All of the census and demographic data suggest that the City of St .
Paul will see a significant increase in juveniles ages 12 to 17 in
the next few years . Some graphs suggest that the increase could be
200 . These are the prime ages at which children commit crimes
including traffic offenses . Children of driving age in this group
lack both experience and judgement . See attached charts .
A review of the 1995 crash statistics for 1995 shows that St . Paul
is below the mean in every category for alcohol related deaths and •
injuries and seat belt non use . Ramsey County is closer to the
mean and in one case exceeds the mean for these same categories.
A close look at the two neighboring counties, Washington and Dakota
County, shows that they generally greatly exceed the statisticcal
mean in these categories . One interpretation that can be inferred
from this data is that St . Paul, with its predominence of urban 30
MPH streets, should probably have fewer fatal accidents .
However, as residents and workers leave St . Paul and travel to the
surrounding bedroom communities and outlaying recreational areas,
speeds and road conditions change . If traffic safety measures
taken in St . Paul induce people to continue their behavior outside
of St . Paul, overall safety should improve . For example, large
numbers of persons enter outbound freeways from downtown St . Paul
every day. Past S&S seat belt surveys have been conducted on the
entrance ramps to these freeways . If the persons leaving the
relatively slow congested traffic of downtown St . Paul are not
buckled up when they enter the freeways, they will not be buckled
up when they get off onto the two lane County Trunk Highways, the
most dangerous roadways in any state . !he problem is getting
people educated in the saier areas of the metro area so they can
drive prepared into the more dangerous are:.s .
Until the Traf�ic ar.d Accident Unit was awGrded a S&S Grant in late
1995 , traffic enforcement in St . Pau1 was �ading. The T&A Unit had
been gradually whittled down from a staf� oT 27 in 1980 to a staff
of 15 in 1995 , a 4�0 =eduction. S�r_ous crim�s , �specially

The SPPD T&A Unit has been �very pleased with S&S activities to
date . The officers have been happy to work the overtime . A joint
education project at Hill-Murray H.S . in May of 1996 involved the
Maplewood P.D. , the St . Paul P.D. , the State Patrol and a Boy Scout
Eagle Project . It was viewed as a great success . Maplewood and
St . Paul Police Departments put together a display consisting of a
crashed motorcycle involving a DUI fatality. After traveling to
various parts of the state the display was given to the Minnesota
Motorcycle Safety Program for use in their educational efforts .
SPPD T&A has also developed a good working relationship with MADD.
The SPPD T&A is in the process of assisting MADD with a display for
the State Fair. Some assistance will be given to the organizers of
the September Safe & Sober Run in St . Paul .
Summary of the Problem:
St . Paul is a declining core city. It has a stagnant or decreasing
tax base which is causing stagnation or a decline in its overall
resources . As resources are eroding the problems facing the City
are growing. The poverty level in the city is increasing. New
immigrants create additonal burdens on government services . These
are problems unique to a core city like St . Paul . With the possible
exception of some first ring suburbs, the majority of the
surrounding communities are well off and have more and better
resources to deal with less significant problems .
Admittedly, St . Paul is below the mean for alcohol and non seat-
belt related deaths and injuries . But our surrounding communities
satistics are above the means . Of all the bordering communities in
the east Metro area, only Maplewood and East Metro State Patrol
obtained S&S grants . The effect that these three agencies have on
the drivers they contact will have an overall impact on the entire
East Metro area. That population is much larger than Maplewood and
S� . Paul and is steadily growing. Ii Maplewood and the State
Patrol renew their 1997 S&S Grants, the SPPD T&A Unit will continue
the cooperative relationships that we have developed w�th them to
date .
The staff in the SPPD T�� Unit all are devoted to traf=ic safety.

In my opinion, three things drive the SPPD Traffic Officers .
Personal pride, competition, and money. The officers take pride in
their work. T&A Officers are selected from over 300 sworn SPPD
patrol officers . Competition to get into T&A is keen. Once in the
unit, monthly reports are posted indicating tagging levels for each
officer. The officers routinely compete against each other even as
they work in teams . Money is a motivator. Some officers have
families with young children. Three officers are potentially in
their last five years of employment . Lots of overtime means a
better pension when they retire using the PER.A high 5 calculations .
The T&A Unit has not been having problems meeting or exceeding
guidelines . The officers enthusiastically support extending the S&S
Grant into 1997 .
Objectives -
The objectives of the SPPD T&A Unit for S&S are simple . Tags and
arrests are the most effective tool that can be used to educate the
population that is most resistive to the law. Persons that are
safety conscious buckled up long ago and quit driving impaired.
The T&A officers will strive to meet of greatly exceed all S&S
goals . The T&A administration will continue to provide support by
maintaining cooperation with other agencies and groups . We expect
to be at Youth Jam again in 1997 .
Spring Campaign: Youth related offenses vary widely. However wil
will strive to achieve at least a 20% increase in juvenile status
offense arrests during curfew sweeps . In addition, we will strive
to achieve at least 60 to 80 additional tags related to curfew,
underage consumption of alcohol or traffic offenses .
Mid-Summer Campaign: This campaign will primarily consist of
steady traffic enforcement . We w?11 strive to achieve a goal of .
issuing an extra 500 trafiic tags during this campaign.
La�e-Summer Campaign: We will str_v2 to achieve at least 50 extra
sea� belt tags attributable solely to the S&S Program.
During all of the enforcement campaigns the SPPD T&A Unit will
strive to achieve a minimum of :

Activities
Gene�rally:
St . Paul P.D. ' s current S&S Grant contract already covers the
December 17, 1996 through January 2 , 1997 enforcement period.
The 1997 S&S Grant application is for the second, third and fourth
Federal quarters . We are requesting $27, 000 for the three
enforcement campaigns . 85% would be devoted to salaries . This
would result in 645 patrol officer hours . These hours would be
equally divided between the three enforcement campaigns for a
breakdown of 215 enforcement hours per campaign. '
Sgt . Larry Rogers will handle most administrative details and field
supervision. His S&S salary will come out of $1350 in
administrative S&S funds . Some money for Lt . Morehead, the unit
supervisor, will also come out of the administrtive fund.
Incentive, travel and operating cost will be waived so as to devote
maximum hours to enforcement efforts . $2700 in S&S funds will be
matched with $2700 in SPPD funds for traffic related equipment,
most likely new PBTS and/or a new radar unit . Both Sgt . Rogers and
Lt . Morehead will attend the October 23 training.
Current plans are to conduct the 1997 campaigns in much the same
manners as the 1996 campaigns are/will be conducted.
Sprinci 1997 Campaian
The focus will once again be on curfew sweeps, proms and graduation
parties . S&S officers will join forces with officers operating
with special functs or grants from juvenile programs . Coordinated
curfew sweeps will be conducted in various parts o= the city on
weekenas or holidays when young peop�e are out and likely to be
drinkir.g and/e� drivincr late at night . The experimer_�al mock crash
program at Hill-Murray H. S . last Sprirg was a success . Assistance
with a similiar education effort will be offered to one or more
area high schools in 1997 . Red Rock Road, a notorious �.11egal drag
stri� where youths hang out will acain b� a prime target for
°�-=�r��:�:�nt . Coop�ra��ve p�oGrams w_�_. NL�D w; l� b= =ostered.

were pleased with our enforcement efiorts . We worked with City

slow down in construction zones . The doubling of the fines in the
construction zones ceratinly helps send the appropriate message .
Give,n the success fo this years July campaign, we v�ill simply
repeat it next year.
The Late-Summer Campaicrn
We have had no experience with a late summer seat belt campaign.
Plans for this summer are to concentrate enforcement efforts around
the State Fairgrounds . The impact of the campaign should go far
beyond the local area. If successful in 1996 the same concept will
be repeated in 1997 . I have met the Buckle-Up coordinator for .
Minnesota and her cooperation will be sought i� both campaigns .
Public Education and Media Relations
The SPPD T&A Unit will again be a presence at Youth Jam in St .
Cloud in early 1997 . A solid working relationship will be
maintained with MADD. The Mayors Citizen Service Office will
continue to write press releases and assist with media relations.
Media persons will be encouraged to ride-along. One or more area
high schools will be given training or assistance in staging a mock
crash in the spring before a prom or graduation. In the Fall of
1996 I will hopefully be working with the Staff at St . Paul Ramsey
Hospital to assess the number of impaired drivers entering
emergency rooms who are not being caught by law enforcement . Once
assessment of the problem is made efforts can begin to correct the
problem.
Overtime Enforcement

SLTNIlKARY
The St . Paul Police Traffic and Accident Unit has gained nearly 8
months of experience with the 1996 S&S Grant . This experience has
given the unit time to learn how the program works . The staff is
comfortable with the program and is meeting its goals . The members
of the unit have been polled and they all want to continue the S&S
Program into 1997 . SPPD T&A will do a good job for S&S .
