The initiatives undertaken with these funds will include gang identification efforts, warrant sweeps that target the most violent offenders, and concentrated enforcement and surveillance activities aimed at repeat offenders. Proposed eapenditures of funds - Overtime $77,015. Ramsey County Corrections Once an offender is arrested, prosecuted and sentenced, the corrections system usually assuxnes a long-term responsibility for supervision. Whether an offender is sentenced to prison or the correctional facility, the offender will return to the cointrnmity under some type of supervision. A probation officer and a community corrections aide ha�e been added to work closely with the Minnesota Gang 5trike Force. The primaty responsibility is to provide intensive supervision far selected public risk gang members. These probation officers ha�e a smaller caseload of both adult and juvenile offenders on intensive surveillance. Probation staff have partnered with Saint Paul Police Officers and Ramsey County 5herifYs deputies in working selected evening and weekend shifts and responding o� _ °l s'1 to "hot spots" in the conununity. Strict and immediate enforcement of probation conditions includes random drug tests, unauuounced visits, curfews, electronic monitoring and the requirement to obtain legitimate employxnent. 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 eapenditure of funds - Salaries $77,015. Ramsey Countv Attorne�s Office The Ramsey County Attomey's Office in cooperation the Ramsey County Courts has initiated ongoing meetings with criininal justice representatives to deal with 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 infomtation 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 are 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 speciai gang prosecutors and all other aduk and juvenile prosecutors. Proposed eapenditure of funds - Salaries $48,571. Saint Paul Police The Saint Paul Police Department will use of portion of tbe Loca1 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 Grand Day and Torchiight 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 5aint 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 jeopardizes the success of the events themselves including the increased amount of foot traffic, auto traffic, window peepers and thefts. Ha�ing 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. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: To police events without draining citywide police resources. Solicit input from promoters as to the needs and requirements far the special event or detail. Assignment of officers to police the detail area for issues surrounding the safe and 2 o�-qs�t efficient movement of both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, and creating a feeling of safety and comfort for those in attendance. Focusing Our Resources On Community Empowerment (F.O.RC.E.) Unit: The Saint Paul Police Deparhnent recognizes the negative and pervasive influence that drugs and narcotics have on the qualiry of life in our community. The department also recognizes that drug use and related activities are a social phenomenon that requires a coordinated response between 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. Unit has found through unit investigations that suspects in street level narcotics investigations are very mobile, involved in other crimival activity and o$en create problem properties where they conduct their illegal activities. There is a strong need to address problem properties and behavior through the use of "juxnp-ouY' details, agent buy operations, knock and talk details and search warrants. Additional emphasis needs to be directed toward block club meetings, adtninistrative 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 information generated by patrol officers and informants. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Address crime "hot spots" city wide, to reduce street level narcotics activity, associated crimes, and problem properties in the target areas. Overtime fixnding will strengthen the F.O.R.C.E. Unit's specialized approach to intervening "hot spots" by permitting more time for coordination with neighborhood service area supervisors, district council neighborhood crime prevention coardinator and relevant city services such as code enfarcement, fire inspections, and licensing. Canine Unit: The primary purpose of the canine unit is to serve as a backup far the patrol officer and as a support unit to the patrol function. Also, the unit is vital in 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 nazcotics enter Saint Paul. Potential locations include the train, bus depots, and airports, Federal Eapress officers, UPS distribution centers, and the U.S. Postal5ervice branches. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: 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. O�-�lS 4 Gun Lssues - Possession and Discharge of Fyrearms: In 1998, there were 627 calls for police service for discharge of a firearm withiu city limit. Trained o�cers retrieve illegal guns as well as document guns that have been confiscated by utilizing gun suppression techniques. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Reduce the level of intentional discharge of fireatms by intervening with violent offenders with a documented history of gun violence. Gathering and sharing of intelligence data, training on gun interdiction techniques and use of technology to improve communications between department resources, and law enfarcement agencies, to accomplish outcome. Liquor Compliance/Liquor Violarions/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 disarderiy 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. Araticiaated Goals/Outcome: Use of an overtime police officer to assist in an increased number of investigations of licensed beverage establis}unents to deterinine compliance with state statutes, and other investigations which involve the use of alcohol by minors or disorderly houses. Narcotics/Special Investigation Unit (S.I.in: Saint Paul and its adjoining suburban communities contained within Ramsey and Dakota Counties has ea�perienced large impact from the burgeoning methamphetasnine 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 Paul's west side community is becoming known as "source cit}�' for methampheta.mine. Highly financed criminai 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 5aiut Paul suburban community originates from labs in California and Meaico. Anticipated 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 airest. � 61-'q 5 `� Neighbarhood Service Area (NSA): Neighborhood policing identifies with geographic areas within each district, which aze referred to as Neighborhood Service Areas(NSA). NSA's incorporate well-defined neighborhoods within Saint Paul into police service areas. Neighborhood policing brings residents, business owners, and the police officers closer together to work on corrmion 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 issues with community support and assistance. Antici�ted 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. Tssues 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. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: To provide a safe environment in the City of Saint Paul's parks to a11ow 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 pazk staff preventing problems from occurring, or reoccurriug at the recreation centers. Police Presence in Retail and Commercial Areas: One of the hailmarks of the retail attraction in Minnesota is the overall safety of the area. Unfortunately, commerciai 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. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Officers will engage in patrol of area retail centers addressing, but not limiting themselves to, the issues of loitering, purse snatching, robberies, burglaries, frauds, pauhandling, and OL�`�SZ public dmukenness. Prosl3tation Suppression: Key factors in the perceived quality of a neighborhood, from a resident view as well as from the outside, is the amount of street level ci7minal activity that is observed. One crime that can drastically affect this view is street prostitution. The presence of street prostitutes in a given neighborhood can send the message that this type of crime is tolerated or minixnized in the view of the neighborhood and law enforcement. This atmosphere can encourage other street level crimes to gra�itate to the area. Once this type of reputation is established patrons of the prostitutes make this neighborhood their area of choice when looking to estabiish contact with a prostitute. It is estimated that 40% of patrons do not live within the city limit of Saint Paul. The patron xnay approach female residents of the area believing them to be prostitutes, and children may be eaposed 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 tecl�niques or to increase activity without the benefit of funding over and above what currently 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 harnper the other units' from fiilfilling their mandates in crime suppression or assigned goals and objectives. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: 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 arganization unit as well as make neighborhood of Saint Paul free of street level criminal activity. Traffic Enforcement Deta�7s: One of the largest sources of complaints the police department receives is traffic related quality of life issues. Pedestrian safety, speed, and general safety concerns are ali a part of Saint PauPs resident's perception of a safe city. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Overtime funding will be used to deploy special traffic enfarcement details to "hot spots" identified by residents' input and computerized mapping. 'IY�uancy/Cnrfew: To find solutions for increased truancy and curfew violations in Saint Paui and its � a�-ZS� surrounding suburbs, the Raznsey County and C�rfew Center(RCTCC) was established in 1994. A representative from Saint Paul Police Deparhnent sits on the executive couumttee that oversees and coordinates the collaborative work of RCTCC. Duriug the 1997-98 school yeaz, the truancy center serviced approa�mately 2, 000 students. Truants apprehended by law enforcement officers comprised 71 % of the students involved. Between June 12, 1996 and Apri15, 1997, the curfew center served 1,382 youth ranging in age from 8 to 17 with three-fourths between 15 and 17 years old. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Truancy officers will be assigned during peak school hours. Curfew sweeps will be performed several times per month. Curfew/Truancy violators will be stopped and tagged so there is a decrease in school age youth present dm•ing school times and times after curfew. Proposed use of funds - Overtime $125,166 The Saint Paul Police Department has been awarded four technology COPS grauts valued at 2.4 million dollars. They were awarded to develop a computerized network with Intranet and Internet access, an automated Records Management System (RMS) with extensive search capabilities, and a CDPD Wireless communications platform that will place the network and RMS in the squad car for the patrol officer. The network project and RMS program development are nearly cornpleted and work is begimiing on the CDPD project. These aze critical prograxns that need to be supported around the clock. The Locai Law Enforcement Block Grant funds will be used to hire three systems support personnel for these technology grants. Proposed ea�penditure of funds - Salaries $124,574. The Saint Paul Police Departrnent will hire an individual to assist the city attomey's office and the police department in complying with the Minnesota Victim's Right Act. This individual will design and implement a Victim-Witness Liaison Program that will assist victims in na�igating through the cruninal 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 ]irniied to protective geaz for police officer entry teams, purchase of firea�ns, and enhancements to the depaztmenYs crime mapping equipment, etc. Proposed use of funds - Squipment $130,924. 7 _�,. - • „ .. o l-1S't Saint Paul Citv Attornev The Saint Paul City Attomey's Office proposes to use its portion ofthe LLEBG grant funds toward the cost of the creation and implexnentation of a data import system from the Tota1 Court Information System (TCIS) to LegalEdge American Prosecutor for updating events, appearances, sentencing, and disposirions.

The initiatives undertaken with these funds will include gang identification efforts, warrant sweeps that target the most violent offenders, and concentrated enforcement and surveillance activities aimed at repeat offenders. Proposed eapenditures of funds - Overtime $77,015. Ramsey County Corrections Once an offender is arrested, prosecuted and sentenced, the corrections system usually assuxnes a long-term responsibility for supervision. Whether an offender is sentenced to prison or the correctional facility, the offender will return to the cointrnmity under some type of supervision. A probation officer and a community corrections aide ha�e been added to work closely with the Minnesota Gang 5trike Force. The primaty responsibility is to provide intensive supervision far selected public risk gang members. These probation officers ha�e a smaller caseload of both adult and juvenile offenders on intensive surveillance. Probation staff have partnered with Saint Paul Police Officers and Ramsey County 5herifYs deputies in working selected evening and weekend shifts and responding o� _ °l s'1 to "hot spots" in the conununity. Strict and immediate enforcement of probation conditions includes random drug tests, unauuounced visits, curfews, electronic monitoring and the requirement to obtain legitimate employxnent. 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 eapenditure of funds - Salaries $77,015. Ramsey Countv Attorne�s Office The Ramsey County Attomey's Office in cooperation the Ramsey County Courts has initiated ongoing meetings with criininal justice representatives to deal with 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 infomtation 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 are 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 speciai gang prosecutors and all other aduk and juvenile prosecutors. Proposed eapenditure of funds - Salaries $48,571. Saint Paul Police The Saint Paul Police Department will use of portion of tbe Loca1 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 Grand Day and Torchiight 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 5aint 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 jeopardizes the success of the events themselves including the increased amount of foot traffic, auto traffic, window peepers and thefts. Ha�ing 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. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: To police events without draining citywide police resources. Solicit input from promoters as to the needs and requirements far the special event or detail. Assignment of officers to police the detail area for issues surrounding the safe and 2 o�-qs�t efficient movement of both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, and creating a feeling of safety and comfort for those in attendance. Focusing Our Resources On Community Empowerment (F.O.RC.E.) Unit: The Saint Paul Police Deparhnent recognizes the negative and pervasive influence that drugs and narcotics have on the qualiry of life in our community. The department also recognizes that drug use and related activities are a social phenomenon that requires a coordinated response between 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. Unit has found through unit investigations that suspects in street level narcotics investigations are very mobile, involved in other crimival activity and o$en create problem properties where they conduct their illegal activities. There is a strong need to address problem properties and behavior through the use of "juxnp-ouY' details, agent buy operations, knock and talk details and search warrants. Additional emphasis needs to be directed toward block club meetings, adtninistrative 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 information generated by patrol officers and informants. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Address crime "hot spots" city wide, to reduce street level narcotics activity, associated crimes, and problem properties in the target areas. Overtime fixnding will strengthen the F.O.R.C.E. Unit's specialized approach to intervening "hot spots" by permitting more time for coordination with neighborhood service area supervisors, district council neighborhood crime prevention coardinator and relevant city services such as code enfarcement, fire inspections, and licensing. Canine Unit: The primary purpose of the canine unit is to serve as a backup far the patrol officer and as a support unit to the patrol function. Also, the unit is vital in 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 nazcotics enter Saint Paul. Potential locations include the train, bus depots, and airports, Federal Eapress officers, UPS distribution centers, and the U.S. Postal5ervice branches. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: 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. O�-�lS 4 Gun Lssues - Possession and Discharge of Fyrearms: In 1998, there were 627 calls for police service for discharge of a firearm withiu city limit. Trained o�cers retrieve illegal guns as well as document guns that have been confiscated by utilizing gun suppression techniques. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Reduce the level of intentional discharge of fireatms by intervening with violent offenders with a documented history of gun violence. Gathering and sharing of intelligence data, training on gun interdiction techniques and use of technology to improve communications between department resources, and law enfarcement agencies, to accomplish outcome. Liquor Compliance/Liquor Violarions/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 disarderiy 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. Araticiaated Goals/Outcome: Use of an overtime police officer to assist in an increased number of investigations of licensed beverage establis}unents to deterinine compliance with state statutes, and other investigations which involve the use of alcohol by minors or disorderly houses. Narcotics/Special Investigation Unit (S.I.in: Saint Paul and its adjoining suburban communities contained within Ramsey and Dakota Counties has ea�perienced large impact from the burgeoning methamphetasnine 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 Paul's west side community is becoming known as "source cit}�' for methampheta.mine. Highly financed criminai 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 5aiut Paul suburban community originates from labs in California and Meaico. Anticipated 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 airest. � 61-'q 5 `� Neighbarhood Service Area (NSA): Neighborhood policing identifies with geographic areas within each district, which aze referred to as Neighborhood Service Areas(NSA). NSA's incorporate well-defined neighborhoods within Saint Paul into police service areas. Neighborhood policing brings residents, business owners, and the police officers closer together to work on corrmion 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 issues with community support and assistance. Antici�ted 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. Tssues 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. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: To provide a safe environment in the City of Saint Paul's parks to a11ow 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 pazk staff preventing problems from occurring, or reoccurriug at the recreation centers. Police Presence in Retail and Commercial Areas: One of the hailmarks of the retail attraction in Minnesota is the overall safety of the area. Unfortunately, commerciai 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. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Officers will engage in patrol of area retail centers addressing, but not limiting themselves to, the issues of loitering, purse snatching, robberies, burglaries, frauds, pauhandling, and OL�`�SZ public dmukenness. Prosl3tation Suppression: Key factors in the perceived quality of a neighborhood, from a resident view as well as from the outside, is the amount of street level ci7minal activity that is observed. One crime that can drastically affect this view is street prostitution. The presence of street prostitutes in a given neighborhood can send the message that this type of crime is tolerated or minixnized in the view of the neighborhood and law enforcement. This atmosphere can encourage other street level crimes to gra�itate to the area. Once this type of reputation is established patrons of the prostitutes make this neighborhood their area of choice when looking to estabiish contact with a prostitute. It is estimated that 40% of patrons do not live within the city limit of Saint Paul. The patron xnay approach female residents of the area believing them to be prostitutes, and children may be eaposed 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 tecl�niques or to increase activity without the benefit of funding over and above what currently 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 harnper the other units' from fiilfilling their mandates in crime suppression or assigned goals and objectives. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: 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 arganization unit as well as make neighborhood of Saint Paul free of street level criminal activity. Traffic Enforcement Deta�7s: One of the largest sources of complaints the police department receives is traffic related quality of life issues. Pedestrian safety, speed, and general safety concerns are ali a part of Saint PauPs resident's perception of a safe city. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Overtime funding will be used to deploy special traffic enfarcement details to "hot spots" identified by residents' input and computerized mapping. 'IY�uancy/Cnrfew: To find solutions for increased truancy and curfew violations in Saint Paui and its � a�-ZS� surrounding suburbs, the Raznsey County and C�rfew Center(RCTCC) was established in 1994. A representative from Saint Paul Police Deparhnent sits on the executive couumttee that oversees and coordinates the collaborative work of RCTCC. Duriug the 1997-98 school yeaz, the truancy center serviced approa�mately 2, 000 students. Truants apprehended by law enforcement officers comprised 71 % of the students involved. Between June 12, 1996 and Apri15, 1997, the curfew center served 1,382 youth ranging in age from 8 to 17 with three-fourths between 15 and 17 years old. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Truancy officers will be assigned during peak school hours. Curfew sweeps will be performed several times per month. Curfew/Truancy violators will be stopped and tagged so there is a decrease in school age youth present dm•ing school times and times after curfew. Proposed use of funds - Overtime $125,166 The Saint Paul Police Department has been awarded four technology COPS grauts valued at 2.4 million dollars. They were awarded to develop a computerized network with Intranet and Internet access, an automated Records Management System (RMS) with extensive search capabilities, and a CDPD Wireless communications platform that will place the network and RMS in the squad car for the patrol officer. The network project and RMS program development are nearly cornpleted and work is begimiing on the CDPD project. These aze critical prograxns that need to be supported around the clock. The Locai Law Enforcement Block Grant funds will be used to hire three systems support personnel for these technology grants. Proposed ea�penditure of funds - Salaries $124,574. The Saint Paul Police Departrnent will hire an individual to assist the city attomey's office and the police department in complying with the Minnesota Victim's Right Act. This individual will design and implement a Victim-Witness Liaison Program that will assist victims in na�igating through the cruninal 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 ]irniied to protective geaz for police officer entry teams, purchase of firea�ns, and enhancements to the depaztmenYs crime mapping equipment, etc. Proposed use of funds - Squipment $130,924. 7 _�,. - • „ .. o l-1S't Saint Paul Citv Attornev The Saint Paul City Attomey's Office proposes to use its portion ofthe LLEBG grant funds toward the cost of the creation and implexnentation of a data import system from the Tota1 Court Information System (TCIS) to LegalEdge American Prosecutor for updating events, appearances, sentencing, and disposirions.

The initiatives undertaken with these funds will include gang identification efforts, warrant sweeps that target the most violent offenders, and concentrated enforcement and surveillance activities aimed at repeat offenders. Proposed eapenditures of funds - Overtime $77,015. Ramsey County Corrections Once an offender is arrested, prosecuted and sentenced, the corrections system usually assuxnes a long-term responsibility for supervision. Whether an offender is sentenced to prison or the correctional facility, the offender will return to the cointrnmity under some type of supervision. A probation officer and a community corrections aide ha�e been added to work closely with the Minnesota Gang 5trike Force. The primaty responsibility is to provide intensive supervision far selected public risk gang members. These probation officers ha�e a smaller caseload of both adult and juvenile offenders on intensive surveillance. Probation staff have partnered with Saint Paul Police Officers and Ramsey County 5herifYs deputies in working selected evening and weekend shifts and responding o� _ °l s'1 to "hot spots" in the conununity. Strict and immediate enforcement of probation conditions includes random drug tests, unauuounced visits, curfews, electronic monitoring and the requirement to obtain legitimate employxnent. 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 eapenditure of funds - Salaries $77,015. Ramsey Countv Attorne�s Office The Ramsey County Attomey's Office in cooperation the Ramsey County Courts has initiated ongoing meetings with criininal justice representatives to deal with 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 infomtation 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 are 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 speciai gang prosecutors and all other aduk and juvenile prosecutors. Proposed eapenditure of funds - Salaries $48,571. Saint Paul Police The Saint Paul Police Department will use of portion of tbe Loca1 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 Grand Day and Torchiight 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 5aint 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 jeopardizes the success of the events themselves including the increased amount of foot traffic, auto traffic, window peepers and thefts. Ha�ing 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. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: To police events without draining citywide police resources. Solicit input from promoters as to the needs and requirements far the special event or detail. Assignment of officers to police the detail area for issues surrounding the safe and 2 o�-qs�t efficient movement of both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, and creating a feeling of safety and comfort for those in attendance. Focusing Our Resources On Community Empowerment (F.O.RC.E.) Unit: The Saint Paul Police Deparhnent recognizes the negative and pervasive influence that drugs and narcotics have on the qualiry of life in our community. The department also recognizes that drug use and related activities are a social phenomenon that requires a coordinated response between 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. Unit has found through unit investigations that suspects in street level narcotics investigations are very mobile, involved in other crimival activity and o$en create problem properties where they conduct their illegal activities. There is a strong need to address problem properties and behavior through the use of "juxnp-ouY' details, agent buy operations, knock and talk details and search warrants. Additional emphasis needs to be directed toward block club meetings, adtninistrative 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 information generated by patrol officers and informants. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Address crime "hot spots" city wide, to reduce street level narcotics activity, associated crimes, and problem properties in the target areas. Overtime fixnding will strengthen the F.O.R.C.E. Unit's specialized approach to intervening "hot spots" by permitting more time for coordination with neighborhood service area supervisors, district council neighborhood crime prevention coardinator and relevant city services such as code enfarcement, fire inspections, and licensing. Canine Unit: The primary purpose of the canine unit is to serve as a backup far the patrol officer and as a support unit to the patrol function. Also, the unit is vital in 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 nazcotics enter Saint Paul. Potential locations include the train, bus depots, and airports, Federal Eapress officers, UPS distribution centers, and the U.S. Postal5ervice branches. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: 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. O�-�lS 4 Gun Lssues - Possession and Discharge of Fyrearms: In 1998, there were 627 calls for police service for discharge of a firearm withiu city limit. Trained o�cers retrieve illegal guns as well as document guns that have been confiscated by utilizing gun suppression techniques. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Reduce the level of intentional discharge of fireatms by intervening with violent offenders with a documented history of gun violence. Gathering and sharing of intelligence data, training on gun interdiction techniques and use of technology to improve communications between department resources, and law enfarcement agencies, to accomplish outcome. Liquor Compliance/Liquor Violarions/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 disarderiy 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. Araticiaated Goals/Outcome: Use of an overtime police officer to assist in an increased number of investigations of licensed beverage establis}unents to deterinine compliance with state statutes, and other investigations which involve the use of alcohol by minors or disorderly houses. Narcotics/Special Investigation Unit (S.I.in: Saint Paul and its adjoining suburban communities contained within Ramsey and Dakota Counties has ea�perienced large impact from the burgeoning methamphetasnine 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 Paul's west side community is becoming known as "source cit}�' for methampheta.mine. Highly financed criminai 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 5aiut Paul suburban community originates from labs in California and Meaico. Anticipated 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 airest. � 61-'q 5 `� Neighbarhood Service Area (NSA): Neighborhood policing identifies with geographic areas within each district, which aze referred to as Neighborhood Service Areas(NSA). NSA's incorporate well-defined neighborhoods within Saint Paul into police service areas. Neighborhood policing brings residents, business owners, and the police officers closer together to work on corrmion 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 issues with community support and assistance. Antici�ted 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. Tssues 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. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: To provide a safe environment in the City of Saint Paul's parks to a11ow 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 pazk staff preventing problems from occurring, or reoccurriug at the recreation centers. Police Presence in Retail and Commercial Areas: One of the hailmarks of the retail attraction in Minnesota is the overall safety of the area. Unfortunately, commerciai 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. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Officers will engage in patrol of area retail centers addressing, but not limiting themselves to, the issues of loitering, purse snatching, robberies, burglaries, frauds, pauhandling, and OL�`�SZ public dmukenness. Prosl3tation Suppression: Key factors in the perceived quality of a neighborhood, from a resident view as well as from the outside, is the amount of street level ci7minal activity that is observed. One crime that can drastically affect this view is street prostitution. The presence of street prostitutes in a given neighborhood can send the message that this type of crime is tolerated or minixnized in the view of the neighborhood and law enforcement. This atmosphere can encourage other street level crimes to gra�itate to the area. Once this type of reputation is established patrons of the prostitutes make this neighborhood their area of choice when looking to estabiish contact with a prostitute. It is estimated that 40% of patrons do not live within the city limit of Saint Paul. The patron xnay approach female residents of the area believing them to be prostitutes, and children may be eaposed 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 tecl�niques or to increase activity without the benefit of funding over and above what currently 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 harnper the other units' from fiilfilling their mandates in crime suppression or assigned goals and objectives. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: 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 arganization unit as well as make neighborhood of Saint Paul free of street level criminal activity. Traffic Enforcement Deta�7s: One of the largest sources of complaints the police department receives is traffic related quality of life issues. Pedestrian safety, speed, and general safety concerns are ali a part of Saint PauPs resident's perception of a safe city. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Overtime funding will be used to deploy special traffic enfarcement details to "hot spots" identified by residents' input and computerized mapping. 'IY�uancy/Cnrfew: To find solutions for increased truancy and curfew violations in Saint Paui and its � a�-ZS� surrounding suburbs, the Raznsey County and C�rfew Center(RCTCC) was established in 1994. A representative from Saint Paul Police Deparhnent sits on the executive couumttee that oversees and coordinates the collaborative work of RCTCC. Duriug the 1997-98 school yeaz, the truancy center serviced approa�mately 2, 000 students. Truants apprehended by law enforcement officers comprised 71 % of the students involved. Between June 12, 1996 and Apri15, 1997, the curfew center served 1,382 youth ranging in age from 8 to 17 with three-fourths between 15 and 17 years old. Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Truancy officers will be assigned during peak school hours. Curfew sweeps will be performed several times per month. Curfew/Truancy violators will be stopped and tagged so there is a decrease in school age youth present dm•ing school times and times after curfew. Proposed use of funds - Overtime $125,166 The Saint Paul Police Department has been awarded four technology COPS grauts valued at 2.4 million dollars. They were awarded to develop a computerized network with Intranet and Internet access, an automated Records Management System (RMS) with extensive search capabilities, and a CDPD Wireless communications platform that will place the network and RMS in the squad car for the patrol officer. The network project and RMS program development are nearly cornpleted and work is begimiing on the CDPD project. These aze critical prograxns that need to be supported around the clock. The Locai Law Enforcement Block Grant funds will be used to hire three systems support personnel for these technology grants. Proposed ea�penditure of funds - Salaries $124,574. The Saint Paul Police Departrnent will hire an individual to assist the city attomey's office and the police department in complying with the Minnesota Victim's Right Act. This individual will design and implement a Victim-Witness Liaison Program that will assist victims in na�igating through the cruninal 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 ]irniied to protective geaz for police officer entry teams, purchase of firea�ns, and enhancements to the depaztmenYs crime mapping equipment, etc. Proposed use of funds - Squipment $130,924. 7 _�,. - • „ .. o l-1S't Saint Paul Citv Attornev The Saint Paul City Attomey's Office proposes to use its portion ofthe LLEBG grant funds toward the cost of the creation and implexnentation of a data import system from the Tota1 Court Information System (TCIS) to LegalEdge American Prosecutor for updating events, appearances, sentencing, and disposirions.
