The Ramsey County Sheriff's office proposes utilizing its LLEBG allocation to fund
overtime. 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 expenditures of funds - Overtime $52,104.
Ramsev Countv Corrections
Once an offender is arrested, prosecuted and sentenced, the corrections system usually
assumes a long-term responsibility for supervision. Whether an offender is sentenced to
prison or the correctional 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 intensive
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
to "hot spots" in the community. Strict and immediate enforcement of probation
conditions includes random drug tests, unannounced visits, curfews, electronic monitoring
and the req_uirement to obtain legitimate employment. A violation of the conditions would
03�9✓5
result in a retum or commitment to prison. Probation staff also coordinates interagency
and gang infonnation and provides it to the gang unit and courts.
Proposed expenditure of funds - Salaries $52,104.
Ramsey CounTy Attorne�s Office
The Ramsey County Attomey's Office in cooperation the Ramsey County Courts has
initiated ongoing meetings with criminal 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 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 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 special gang prosecutors and all
other adult and juvenile prosecutors.
Proposed expenditure of funds - Salaries $32,862.
Saint Paul Police
The Saint Paul Police Department will use a portion of the Local Law Enforcement grant
to support the following activities as needed on an overtime basis:
Speciai Events Operations and Community/Volunteer Services Unit:
Lazge-scale special events such as the Grand Old Day Celebration, Cinco de Mayo, Winter
Carnival Grand 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 prepaze 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. Having an of�cer available to respond on scene rather than "next
year" assures residents that the police department cares and is willing to insure the 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 for the special event or
detail. Assignment of officers to police the detail area for issues sunounding the safe and
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 Department recognizes the negative and pervasive influence that
drugs and narcotics have on the quality of life in our community. The department also
recognizes that drug use and related activities aze 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 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-out" details, agent buy operations, knock and talk
details and seazch warrants. Additional emphasis needs to be directed towazd 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 information generated by patrol officers and informants.
Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Address crime "hot spots" city wide, to reduce street level
nazcotics 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 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 inspections, and licensing.
Canine Unit:
The primary purpose of the canine unit is to serve as a backup for 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 unit's 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 Express offices, UPS
distribution centers, and the U.S. Postal Service branches.
Antici�ted 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.
Gun Issues - Possession and Discharge of Firearms:
In 1998, there were 627 calls for police service for discharge of a firearm within city limit
Trained officers retrieve illegal guns as well as document guns that have been confiscated
3
03-455
by utilizing gun suppression techniques.
Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Reduce the level of intentional discharge of firearms 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
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.
Anticipated Goals/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 a large impact from the burgeoning methamphetamine problem.
Prior to 1998, St. Paul drug seizures were comprised largely of cocaine and mui}uana
with a representation of other illegal dnxgs 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 Me�co, using
mostly methamphetamine distributors locally, blend into the illegal activities and avoid
prosecution. The majority of the methamphetamine coming into Saint Paul and the Saint
Paul suburban community originates from labs in California and Meacico.
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 arrest.
Neighborhood Service Area (NSA):
Neighborhood policing identifies with geographic areas within each district, which are
referred to as Neighborhood Service Areas (NSA). NSA's incorporate well-defined
a3-955
neighborhoods within Saint Paul into police service areas. 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 issues with
community support and assistance.
Anticipated 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 leazn
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 security
rangers are involved in maintaining a safe environment for the parks.
Anticipated Goals/Outcome: To provide a safe environment in the City of Saint PauPs
parks to allow children to play and leam. 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 reoccurring at the recreation centers.
Police Presence in Retail and Commercial Areas:
One of the hallmarks of the retail attraction in Minnesota is the overall safety of the area
Unfortunately, commercial areas 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 azea retail centers addressing, but not limiting themselves
to the issues of loitering, purse snatching, robberies, burglaries, frauds, panhandling, and
public drunkenness.

Prostitution 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 criminal 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
minimized in the view of the neighborhood and law enforcement. This atmosphere can
encourage other street level crimes to gravitate 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 limits of Saint Paul. The patron may approach female residents of the
azea believing them to be prostitutes, and ctrildren 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
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, haue 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/Outcome: The 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 organizational
units as well as keeping the neighborhoods of Saint Paul free from 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, traffic speed, and general safety concerns are all a
part of a Saint Paul resident's perception of a safe city.
Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Overtime funding will be used to deploy special traffic
enforcement details to "hot spots" identified by residents' input and computerized
mapping.
Truancy/Curfew:
To find solutions for increased truancy and curfew violations in Saint Paul and its
surrounding suburbs, the Ramsey County Truancy and Curfew Center(RCTCC) was
�
03-955
established in 1994. A representarive from the Saint Paul Police Department is on the
executive committee that oversees and coordinates the collaborative work of the 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 involved. Between 7une 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 yeazs 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 during school
times and times after curfew.
Proposed use of fixnds - Overtime $178,854
The Saint Paul Police Department has been awazded four technology COPS grants valued
at 2.4 million dollars. These grants were awarded to develop a computerized network
with Intranet and Internet access, an automated Records Management System (RMS) with
e�ctensive 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 aze neazly completed 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 Grant funds will be used to hire one systems support
personnel for these technology grants.
Proposed expenditure of funds - Salaries $70,797.
The Saint Paul Police Department will purchase equipment with these funds to enhance
the departmenYs use oftechnology in law enforcement. Purchases will include but aze not
limited to protective gear for police officer entry teams, purchase of fireazms, and
enhancements to the department's crime mapping equipment, etc.
Proposed use of funds - Equipment $70,330.
Saint Paul City Attorney
The Saint Paul City Attorney's Office will retain an individual to assist
the City Attorney's Office and the Police Department in complying with the
Minnesota Victim's Right Act. This individual will manage 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 use of funds - Salaries $26,404 (to be taken from the SPPD share)

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
currently is present. An effective suppression program also has to allow for the use of a
variety of undercover officers. These underwver officers, in the role of patron and/or
prostitute, have to be drawn from other organizational units witlun the police department.
This can hamper the other units from fixlfilling their mandates in crime suppression or
assigned goals and objectives.
Anticipated Goals/Outcome: The 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 organizational
units as well as keeping the neighborhoods of Saint Paul free from street level criminal
activity.
Traffic Enforcement Details:
One of the lazgest sources of complaints the police department receives is tra£fic related
quality of life issues. Pedestrian safety, traffic speed, and general safety concerns are all a
part of a Saint Paul resident's perception of a safe city.
Anticipated Goals/Outcome: Overtime funding will be used to deploy special traffic
enforcement details to "hot spots" identified by residents' input and computerized
mapping.
Truancy/Curfew:
To find solutions for increased truancy and curfew violations in Saint Paul and its
surrounding suburbs, the Ramsey County Truancy and Curfew Center(RCTCC) was
0
o3-9S5
established in 1994. A representative from the Saint Paul Police Department is on the
executive committee that oversees and coordinates the collaborative work of the 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 involved. Between 7une 12, 1996 and April 5, 1997, the curfew center served
1,382 youth ranging in age from 8 to 17 with three-fourths between 15 and 17 yeazs 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 during school
times and times after curfew.
Proposed use of funds - Overtime $178,854
The Saint Paul Police Department has been awarded four technology COPS grants valued
at 2.4 million dollazs. These grants 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 completed 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 Grant funds will be used to hire one systems support
personnel for these technology grants.
Propased expenditure of funds - Salaries $70,797.
The Saint Paul Police Department will purchase equipment with these funds to enhance
the departmenYs use of technology in law enforcement. Purchases will include but are not
limited to protective geaz for police officer entry teams, purchase of firearms, and
enhancements to the department's crime mapping equipment, etc.
Proposed use of funds - Equipment $70,330.
Saint Paul City Attorney
The Saint Paul City Attorney's Office will retain an individual to assist
the-City Attorney's Office and the Police Department in complying with the
Minnesota Victim's Right Act. This individual will manage 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 use of funds - Salaries $26,404 (to be taken from the SPPD share)
