Summary The City of Lodi police Departrrrent is a mruricipal polioe department servirrg a populatiorr of about 65,844 residents witlin u geogr*phical area of apprcxinìably 13.88 iquor. miles. Lodi is a modern city r'vith a vibrzurt downtown* but remaiñ uãturiun-uus*¿ witl, sïong ti*r to the wine grape industry. In acidition to being kttown as the ,,Zinfàndel Capitalîf the 'rüVorld",l",li trauä*periencecl t***nt giowth inth.' craft beer industry' T'odi is t u*i to n nu'iber of ,pe"iat eoents related tr: boûr wine and beer. These events include the annual ZinFest' annual Spring Wine Show, bi-annual Lodi W:ne Stroll, annual Lodi Beer Fest, and annual Lodi Craft Beer Festival. These events, in actclition to rnar$, o;her smalier events, involve ABC licensees and impact police services ,Ihe Lodi police Department orüîently omplo.rs 66 sworn officels and I l4 total personnel. As of February igig, tr" r,odi city iouncil votsd to-inc;ase the sworn offieer staffing allotment fronr 71 officers to 77 offrcers, l1owever, it is not expected that,¿e will reach our allotment in actuality until late 2Û19 or'early 2020' The s.u'por:ring documentation cf our.curlert staffingallo!tl_:"l is attached to this'RFP as City of Lodi Council cornmunisation Agenda ltem H-04, dated Februoryút"t 2Ol9.-This informatioD can also be faunil at htrps:l vww.lodi.Êov/AgenclaCenterlviewlrilelAg;nde/ 0206?019-391. By cornpaïison, the l.odi Polise department had 7g ,*iã oni"or "n¿ uuoot l:oãtut persontrel in 2006, when the city had a population -of 4,000 fewer residents. The police department is headed by the Chief of Police, followedby 2 Captains, 5 Lieutenants, 9 Sergeantr, .rd "orr"rrûy, 49 line-level swom personnel. Historically, the Lodi Police Department has staffed a variety of units and specialized assignments. But with the economic downturn that began ' 2007,vacancies or"rrrring through attrition were "frózen", resulting in understaffed units and the eliminalion of some usign*r"t, u'ítog.ûrä. while the Lodi Police Department has been actively recruiting to fill vacancie, in ,rr"nt yã*r, *, ,.*ãin well below 2006 staffing levels, and certain services have never been revitalized. Among those discontinued positions are 2 flrll time bicycle officer positions that were previously responsiule for Loã'i,s downtown *"u. this'ù/as a devastating loss as it relates to the police department's relåtior_ship with retailers, including a number of ABC licensees, in the downtown area. our downtown includes a number ortutí clubs, bieweries, wine tasting rooms, restaurants, ancl 2 liquor stores. This area is also utilized for a number-of spe"ial events, such as a seasonal weekly Fatmer's Market and other events that frequer-tly involve ABC special eventpermits. There are currently a total of 17.4 active ABc licenses within Lodi', city limits, which giu", ,r. on" o-f thr highest number of licenses per capita out of the cities in San Joaquin County. These ltrnr", consist of z3 ıff-sale licensed locations and 101 on-sale licensed locations' The Lcdi police Department is seeking fu:rds in the arnount of $41 ,60 I from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control through t¡e Alcohol-Polic:ng Partnership Program, '['hese funds will be uti'lizecl to edur:ste AISC licensees and *t* ñ"Uii. about alcoh¡l related laws, lielp reduce the amount of alcohol both sold and furnished to minors, ,"du". criminal activity with a nexus to srlcohol consumption, and addÏess quality of life issues related to the sale and consumption of alcohol. The Lodi Police Department has a staff of experienced oin**r" and supewisors who understand thar irresponsible alcohol consumption is a catalyst for crimina-l activity. We also understancl that inesponsible alóohol c,onsumption can be.minimir-ed by the actions of resporxible ABC licensees. we have superrisors and officers who are familiar with the requirernents for m*"ginà and imple¡re¡ting grants? inclucing the ABC GAP grant. v/e have experience partner:ing with ather ug*nj**lprivate Lusine*r*Joi.l or-ganiza:ionls, and other depaltnreuts in the City to achieve these goals. we are ,JuAy to us* u *orr1bination of enforcemenr erperations nncl.cclucatio¡ral progfallìs to achieve our objective; to reduce crinre and quutity of life issues relatecl to inespotlsible consumption of alcohol' Exhibit A SCOPE OF WORK 2. Problem Statement The Lodi police Department has an operational philosophy and utilizes strategies that marry education with snforcement to help rrdr¡ce alcohol related crir,ã, aclelress quality of life i"ssues associatecl with alcohol consunrption, &nd ieeluce alcohol r.elated traTlic collisisns along with the injurieo and dcaths qausecl by those oollisions. W'e havc, in the past, been awa¡ced granxs by the Offîce of Traffic Safety to focus enforcement *ffor.t* o¡ impaired áriving and other dr:iving cc,nduct that causes iqiury and death. In20ï4, the Lodi Police Depaún:e¡t partlered witñ the Loeli Unified School District to bring the "Impact Teen Drivers" educational prug¡o* to tscal high school students, For over the last decade the Lodi Police Department has also partnered ïiñ Ur" California Flighway patrol to bring the "Every 15 Minutes" program to local high schools' We were awarded an ABC GAË grant for the I 5- 16 and 16-17 fiscal years. This allowed us to continue to build on the partners:i¡r we establisúd with ABC. s/e did not receive an ABC GAP grant f-or lhe l7-18 fiscal year; horvever we wel€ awarcled an ABC-OTS gtant to continue our efforts to keep aleohol away fi'orn oul youth and to educate licensees regarding responsibleâc,rhol sales arrd serviee. The Lodi Police Depaltment was awarded the ABC App grant foithe tg-19 fiscal yea--, and we are on pace to exceed the goals and objectives of that project. Despite all,of the aforeinentioned efforts there still clearly exists a need for the Lodi Police Department to *ontirru. to combat alcohol related srjnte th:o':gh a multi-pronged approaoh with the assistance of the I)epar{ment of Alcoholic Beverage Contrnl. The O.T.S Traffic Salety Rating for 2016 (the ntost tecent year for whio¡ data is,available) shows thãt the Citl' oi Lodi has on overall, or composite, ranking of 5 1 st out of 104 cities similar in size. Thr 1o*"r the ranking the worse the score; in this case the City of Lodi is in the bottom half of cities similar in size. In20l6the Ci:y cf Lodi was also ranked 36th out of 104 cities similar in size for the number of collisions in which alcohol v'as -nvolved. 'fhe Cill of Lodi also has a higher number of active retail liquor licenses, per capita, than other cities in our county. The chart below shows a comparison between five cities in San Joaquin County in relation to poputät;on and liquor licenses. 'Ihe City o- Luii cunontly has one active retail liquor license for every 378 r*ri¿*otr. In addiiion in 2û 18, rhere were 187 ÐUI a1îests, 62 DUI collisions, 344 public intoxication arrests, 130 opur alcoholic container citations, l8 allests lbr t'urnishing alcohol t{r a minot', arrd approximately 6l other r*pottr -isted as líquor law violations, Orr poor traftìc safety ranhings (51st out _of 101 eities siurilar in size), our high numbe¡ oi activc liquor licernes per copita, and the high nunrber of alcohol related incidents/affssts makes-the City of Lodi an ideal place to implament the Minor Decoy, Shoulder-fap, Tr:ap Door anel Cops in Shops cperatiãns. We also haveìhe facilities and staff capable of educating the licensees and public by hosting LEAD classes.

V/e will focus our efforts cn problem businesses, problem areas and problem crimes related to the consumption of alcohol' V/e will give ertra attention to our downtown area which has a high density of ABC licensed businesses. 'We frequently :eceive complaints from downto-¡¿n businesses regarding vandalism, public intoxication and "open container" violations. Geographically, our iowntown is one of our smallest response areas (one of 5 response areas, or "beats" in the City) but it has one of the highest volumes for calls for service. In the period frorn 01/01/18 ttrough l2l3ll18 there were t1,624 calls for service inthe downtown area-which makes up about 21% of ùl ¡alls for service in the City. The ABC Grant Assistance Program will allow the police departrnent to better tr¡ck and report these crimes, as well as provide education and extra enforcement to reduce these crimes. 3.

The Lod- Police Department, like so many other departments in the state, has seen a reduction in stafhng levels and a ræuction in special operations due ta b:dget conshaints. Funding from the ABC Grant Assistance Program will allow the Lodi Police Departnant to proactively educate the public about the dangers of under-age drinking. .lhis ftmding will allow us to prc.actively look for violations, make arrests, and prosecute those who choose ro'¡iolate the laws related to the sala and consumption of alcohol.
