Ready, City Ma RECEIVED AN 10 2006 GoJ�I° �` yr� a MEMORANDUM PALM SPRINGS POLICE DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE DATE. January 3, 2007 TO: Mayor and City Council via City Manager David Ready FROM: Police Chief Gary Jeandron SUBJECT. COURT LIAISON PROGRAM The Court Liaison program, which has been in existence for several years, was established to save the City money on the required court time of police officers- In years past, the Court required the officers to be present at court beginning at 08:30 AM on all subpoenas. The officers would respond to the court and wait for the judge and /or district attorney to either call the court case or dismiss or"plead out" the case without going to trial. The officer would be paid overtime for any time spent at the court outside his/her normal working hours. Since the majority of cases did not proceed to trial the officer's time spent in Court awaiting trial was senseless and was done so at a cost to the City. The Court Liaison program allows a Court Liaison to sit in the court room and determine which officers are needed in court that day. The officers must be able to respond to the courtroom within one hour of the call from the Court Liaison. As negotiated in their MOU, police officers who are called off (court appearance cancelled) less than 24 hours of the court appearance time as listed in their subpoena receive $50; those who are not called off before 10:00 AM on the day of court receive the overtime for a minimum of 4.0 hours if the court time is outside their normal working hours- The savings to the City has been significant over the last two years, as broken down below: 2005: 537 Subpoenas If paid at Overtime rate based on 4-0 hour Cost to City $100,848.60 minimum With Court Liaison Program paying $50 per Cost to City $ 26,850.00 subpoena Less $5,000 to Court Liaison Contract Actual Savings: $ 68,998.60 2006: 461 Subpoenas If paid at Overtime rate based on 4.0 hour Cost to City $ 94,154.64 minimum With Court Liaison Program paying $50 per Cost to City $ 23,050-00 subpoena Less $5,000 to Court Liaison Contract Actual Savings: $ 66,104.64 GARY RON Chief of lice GJ:rm
