Please provide detailed answers to the following questions as part of the Problem Statement:
1, Describe current traffic unit complement (number of personnel and classifications). If applicable,
describe how the size of the traffic unit has fluctuated in the past five years and why.
The City of Palm Springs is an international destination resort community with an international airport and
an estimated 2.5 million visitors each year. Our census population varies between 43,500 full-time
residents, an additional 22,000 seasonal winter residents, to over 100,000 persons staying in the city on a
holiday winter weekend. We have a historical problem with impaired drivers who are involved in traffic
collisions. An estimated 67% of our fatalitiy collisions involve a driver who was impaired. Many of these
DUI collisions occur after impaired drivers leave the downtown entertainment district area. These
collisions occur at all hours of the day, but are most frequent during late evenings or early mornings just
after bar closing time.
Our data indicates that 41% of the drivers involved in injury or fatal alcohol related collisions were
unlicensed, many of which were as a result of a previous alcohol related offense.
21% (previous year was 28%) of the DUI arrests made in this period were made as a result of responding to
traffic collision.
2. How many sobriety checkpoints did your department conduct between October 1, 2008 and
September 30, 2009? (Include checkpoints from all funding sources, i.e. OTS grants or mini-grants,
and department funded)

Additional Information: We sent officers to participated in two Avoid the 30 checkpoints in La Quinta, one
more in Desert Hot Springs, and deployed five separate times on Avoid the 30 saturation patrols in Palm
Springs.
3. What is the average number of DUI arrests and vehicles impounded per checkpoint?

4. Does your agency participate in an AVOID DUI program? Yes
a. AVOID the 30 DUI Campaign in Riverside County
5. What percent of your DUI arrests between October 1, 2008 and September 30, 2009 were made as a
result of a collision?
21 percent.
6. What percent of your collisions involve drivers with a suspended or revoked license?
41 percent.
7. What is the magnitude of your city's problem concerning repeat DUI offenders who violate probation
or fail to appear in court? Do you currently have a program that proactively addresses this issue?
We have about a 20 percent failure to appear rate for DUI arrests. We add these subjects to our warrant
sweep list each quarter. They are usually the first to come back to jail. Violation of DUI probation is non-
existant due to the terms and unsupervised structure of DU I probation.
8. Do you have a backlog of unserved warrants for repeat DUI offenders?
We have an estimated 300 outstanding DUI wanted suspects in Palm Springs. We conducted quarterly
warrant sweep to locate and apprehend these subjects.
9. How many of your traffic officers have received Standardized Field Sobriety Testing(SFST)
training?
Our entire Traffic Unit staff of seven officers has received extensive SFST training. We have one of only
two Drug Recognition Expert in the Coachella Valley. An additional 25% of our total compliment of 96
officers has received this valuable training.
10. What is your current administrative recovery fee for vehicles impounded for up to 30 days and how
much of the fee goes to the General Fund vs. a special Traffic Offender Impound Account? How is it
used?
We have a $125.00 VTACR fee that is charged to the owner of a stored vehicle. The funding goes directly
into the general funds and is used to fund another Police Services Officer who handles vehicle storage
releases and paperwork.
