PROTECT NARRATIVE
1. BACKGROUND
The City of Palm Springs is a well known destination resort community. Palm Springs is a charter
law city with a city manager form of government. There is an elected mayor and four-elected city
council members on staggered terms.
The police department currently has 86 sworn officers and 48 civilian employees with about 75
civilian volunteers. Volunteers participate in programs such as Citizen's On Patrol, Reserve Police
Officers, and Boy Scouts' of America Explorers.
The department has three divisions; Operations, Services and Investigations. The Operations
Division is composed of patrol, communications, jail and records. The Services Division consists
of traffic, personnel and training, animal control, special projects, and administration of the budget.
The Investigation Division is made up of three groups of detectives; Crimes Against Persons,
Crimes Against Property and Multi-agency narcotic task force.
The Service Division and Investigation Division are under the supervision of an individual
Commander. Three Patrol Commanders supervise the Operation Division. The City is divided into
three community policing zones. Each Commander has responsibility of problem solving within
their community zones, but functional supervision of the entire shift when working. In addition
each Commander has an auxiliary duty of communication, records or the jail.
The philosophy of the Palm Springs Police Department is to provide prompt, courteous and efficient
public safety service to Palm Springs residents and visitors based on community policing principles.
In support of this philosophy, the police department operates a variety of enforcement and
educationally based public safety programs that promote not only the apprehension of criminals
offenders, but prevention and suppression of their activities. Recently, the department opened a
downtown police office called the "Downtown Experience". The office is staffed with 3 police
officers, 2 community service officers and a sergeant. Their goal is to build partnerships and
collaborations with the merchants and other city en4ties to solve crime and improve the quality of
life issues related to the downtown.
The ABC Grant Assistance Project will be placed under the Service Division Commander who will
evaluate and report the progress of the grant to the Chief of Police. This will facilitate the
community involvement that is planned for the project as well as the analysis functions necessary to
the effective utilization of the project's assets. Since the downtown area has the highest
concentration of on-sale premises and approximately 80% of alcohol related crime, the downtown
"Experience" sergeant will be assigned to supervise the project.
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
The City of Palm Springs will serve as the target area of this program. It is located about 90 miles
east of Los Angeles. There are approximately 50 square miles of desert, rising up into 34 miles of
hills just below the Santa Rosa Mountains. Within the 84 square miles of City, there is a permanent
population of 43,000 residents. On an annual basis, there are approximately 4,000,000 visitors to
1
PROTECT NARRATIVE
the City from around the world to enjoy the weather, and recreational activities, including Indian
Gaming. According to the California State Department of Finance and the 1990 census records, the
median age of the permanent population is 43.7 years. The median household income is $39,266.
The ethnic makeup of the permanent population is 83.2% Caucasian, 18.7 Hispanic, 4.5 African-
American and 12.3 % as other.
The economic revitalization plan for the downtown of Palm Springs has been to make it an
entertainment area. Within the last two years there has been a increase of alcohol establishments,
five major restaurants, 4 new night clubs offering dancing and live acts, the remodeling of
downtown hotels and the addition of Indian gaming casino, all equipped with full service bars.
The City of Palm Springs has 200 ABC licensed establishments. There are 32 licensed for off-sale
purchases and 168 licensed for on-sale purchases. The department has identified four problematic
establishments that require an inordinate amount of police services. These establislunents are
located within the revitalization zone of the downtown. The officers assigned to the downtown area
spend 45% their time dealing with disorderly conduct and other alcohol related crimes originating
from the identified problem establishments. The police department is currently working with a
neighborhood coalition group and the downtown alcohol establishments in resolving an on going
problem with the loud noises produced by live music. The department also received about 2 to 3
complaints per week of smoking violations in these establishments.
The Riverside County District Attorney's Office has a rigorous filing posture towards illegal
purchases and illegal sales of alcoholic beverages. Supervising Deputy District Attorney Richard
Erwood stated his office in Indio has a zero tolerance for this type of crime and will not reduce
charges.
Since the city is a resort community with over 4,000,000 visitors per year, there is a large number of
alcohol-related crimes caused or aggravated by excessive alcohol consumption. Abuse of alcohol is
a factor in 75% of all arrests on a typical weekend night shift. The Desert Hospital Tramna Center
reports similar percentage of alcohol involvement in the injuries treated. The "ABC" Club, a long
term in house recovery center located in Indio,(about 15 miles from Palm Springs) reports about
20% of their population is from the Palm Springs area.
In attempts to solve the problem, the department has worked with local Alcohol and Beverage
Control agents. There have been live programs conducted within the last year. The programs
included training of patrol officers in how to conduct bar checks, inspections of licensed premises,
and general enforcement such as "Minor Decoy" and "Shoulder Tap"programs.
Due to budgetary constraints, the police department has been unable to keep up with the increase in
calls generated by alcohol related crimes and the increase in visitors frequenting the downtown
entertainment, Indian Gaming and hotels. There are over 100 calls per month just to handle crime
related to these establishments. Police officers are unable to conduct checks of bars and licensed
premises. The department must take a reactive attitude towards alcohol enforcement instead of a
proactive stance.

PROTECT NARRATIVE
4. METHOD OF PROCEDURE:
Several phases of this grant project will be accomplished concurrently to achieve the stated
objectives. All phases will incorporate the precepts of Community Policing. Staffing numbers are
estimates. Many of the tasks will be overlapping, and following the precepts of community
policing, volunteers will be encouraged to take an active role in making the grant project a success.
Phase I - Preparation Stage-July 1 to August 1, 2000
Number of staff: 10
During Phase I, the Department will accomplish several objectives related to the implementation of
the grant project. The project will be supervised by the Department's Services Division
Commander. The Services Division Commander will coordinate closely with the ABC anent
assigned to the project, with the Commander of the Downtown area of the City, and with the
Downtown Experience Sergeant. The Downtown Experience Sergeant will be the field supervisor,
responsible for the day-to-day achievement of project objectives. The grant officer will be assigned
to the Downtown Experience and will implement the objectives.
The Downtown Experience Sergeant will coordinate with the Department's Records Systems
Supervisor to implement a licensee tracking and filing system. This will be accomplished utilizing
the skills of the Records Management Clerk currently assigned to the Downtown Experience. The
Records Management Clerk will also design a system to route all DUI arrest reports to ABC. The
grant officer will coordinate with the ABC agent assigned to the project in the development of shift
training for all Department personnel. They will also develop operating procedures for underage
"decoy" and "shoulder tap" operations. Initial media production will begin, to include civilian print
and broadcast news reports.
Phase II - Preliminary Training- July 15 to July 31, 2000
Number of staff: 4
During Phase It, the Services Division Commander, the Commander of the Downtown area, the
project sergeant, and the primary officer assigned to the grant project will attend project training
provided by ABC. Upon completion of this training, the sergeant and the primary officer will
conduct shift training for all Department personnel regarding the goals and objectives of the grant
project, and each employee's role in achieving those goals and objectives.
Phase III - Implementation - August 1, 2000 to June 30, 2001
Number of staff: 15
During this phase the grant officer, with the assistance of ABC agents, will within the first thirty
days, develop and begin to conduct quarterly training for all patrol personnel. The initial training
will focus on which ABC violations are the most prevalent and disruptive within the City, and how
to detect these violations. Subsequent quarterly training will focus on where and when the
violations occur, how to most effectively document these violations to support administrative ABC
hearings, and how to prepare disorderly house cases. (Six staff members)
5
PROTECT NARRATIVE
During this phase the Responsible Hospitality Council will be formed. The private sector
(restaurants, bars, hotels, casinos, and retail alcoholic beverage establishments) will be invited to
take part in this community project, and with assistance from the officer assigned to the grant
project, and an investigator from ABC's LEAD Program, to develop a training module and schedule
for quarterly instruction. (Two staff members and community volunteers)
The Department's underage "decoy" and underage "shoulder tap" programs will be expanded to at
least four operations per program. The officer assigned to the grant project will be assisted by ABC
agents, and Palm Springs Police Reserve officers. Each operation will target at least ten licensees,
and both on-sale and off-sale licensees will be targeted. The Data Gathering Analysis will be
utilized to allow enforcement emphasis on establishments with previous violations. (Five staff
members)
The Department's bar check programs by uniformed and undercover officers will be formalized, and
expanded to at least ten hours per month, per program. Both the uniformed and undercover
programs will be accomplished in conjunction with ABC agents, and Palm Springs Police Reserve
officers. In addition, undercover operations will include agents from the California Department of
Corrections parole officers, and County of Riverside Adult Probation Department agents. (Ten staff
members)
The grant officer, in conjunction with the State of California Health Department agents, and on a
contract basis with personnel from the Palm Springs Fire Department and City of Palm Springs
Community Preservation, will conduct quarterly inspections of ABC licensed establishments,
focusing enforcement on those regulations considered outside the norm of routine police matters
(`Broken Windows" concept). (Six staff members).

quarterly training for all retail ABC licensees and their employees. (Two staff members)
The Alano Club, Alcoholics Anonymous, and other community-based organizations having to do
with alcohol abuse will begin a special outreach program to be conducted from office space
provided by the Downtown Experience office. Hours will be part-time, flexible, and will be
determined by the response from the agencies involved, and by the number of persons accepting the
service. (Community volunteers)
The officer assigned to the project, in cooperation with ABC, the RHC, Palm Springs High School,
the Palm Springs Police Department D.A.R.E. program, the County of Riverside Juvenile Probation
Department, and other comtunity-based organizations having to do with alcohol abuse will begin
educating parents and under-age drinkers on the potential personal, family, financial, and legal
6
PROTECT NARRATIVE
hazards of consuming or condoning and allowing alcoholic beverage consumption by minors, and/or
supplying alcoholic beverages to minors. This educational program will be publicized via the print
and broadcast media, including the Palm Springs High School News Network, and through the Palm
Springs Unified School district. The program will be offered at least twice yearly. (Three staff
members)
During this phase the grant officer will continue to publicize the project via print and broadcast
media, with special emphasis on assuring that all community agencies, and in particular, the
licensees who cooperate in the program, receive full credit for their contributions to the grant
project. Media attention will focus on the positive aspects and successes of the project. (One staff
member)
During this phase, the grant officer will utilize frequent updates from the Data Gathering Analysis to
tine-tune implementation of the methods of procedure. (Three staff members)
Phase V - Data Gathering and Analysis - September 1, 2000 to June 30, 2001
Number of staff: 5
This phase will be concurrent with Phase II (Implementation) and Phase IV (Community
Involvement).
The Services Division Commander will assist the persomnel assigned to this project in data
collection and analysis. The Records System Supervisor will assure that data is current and
available in usable form to the field staff. ABC licensee information will be collected and entered
into the Department's computer database. The Services Commander, the Downtown area
Commander, the Downtown Experience sergeant, the officer assigned to the grant project, and an
ABC agent will develop prevention and enforcement plans in addition to evaluating the data to
determine project effectiveness. (Six staff members)
During this phase, the Services Division Commander, with the assistance of the Records System
Supervisor, will ensure that all appropriate Department personnel are supporting the licensee
tracking and information system developed during Phase I. In addition, personnel assigned to this
grant project will develop statistical information appropriate for media publicity use. (Four staff
members)
The officer assigned to the grant project, with the assistance of the Downtown Experience Records
Clerk, and Citizens On Patrol volunteers, will use the collected data to file administrative
accusations against establishments identified as problematic. (Two staff members and community
volunteers)
Phase VI - Final Report - July 1,2001 to August 15, 2001
Number of staff: 5
The final report on this project will be prepared during this phase. The report will be prepared by
the Downtown Experience sergeant, with the assistance of the Services Division Commander, the
7
PROTECT NARRATIVE
Downtown area Commander, the officer assigned to the grant project, the Records System
Supervisor, and community volunteers. Prior to documentation, all participants in the grant project,
the general business community, residents, and other community organizations, will be consulted.
5. METHOD OF EVALUATION
The police department will conduct a detailed evaluation of this project prior to the preparation of
the final report during Phase VI. There will also be a department evaluation of the project twice
during the program year. The target dates for the evaluations are 10-2-00 and 2-1-01. The interim
evaluations will be used to identify problems, make corrections, and improve on results. This
process will be subjective and objective.
The Services Commander will conduct the evaluation along with the Downtown Experience
Sergeant. The examining supervisors will evaluate the success of each of the goals to determine
whether they had any impact on the City's alcohol related crime problems. This would include
assessing if training objectives were met, ensuring the establishment of the educational programs,
determining the impact of enforcement objectives upon underage drinking, excessive consumption,
disruptive vendors, and disorderly conduct within licensed businesses. The major evaluation
question to be answered is, "Was there a reduction of alcohol related crime at the identified
problematic ABC licensed establishments?"
The supervisors will solicit input from department personnel, school authorities, community-based
organizations and the ABC licensees for their subject opinions regarding the project's effectiveness.
The Department's Record Systems Supervisor will gather statistical data that will be used as an
objective test of the impact on alcohol related crime.
6. ABC LIAISON
The Palm Springs Police Department has an excellent working relationship with the ABC office in
Rancho Mirage. The department has conducted five operations with agents from Alcohol and
Beverage Control within the last year. The ABC office has been instrumental in providing our
downtown officers with education on how to conduct bar checks and alcohol related laws.
The Department's outstanding relationship with the local ABC office will no doubt benefit the grant
project. There is mutual trust and admiration between the agencies that will facilitate a successful
project.
7. STATEMENT OF INTENT
Palm Springs revitalization and expected expansion of Indian Gaming will bring more ABC license
businesses to the City. This grant project will allow our agency to develop a comprehensive
approach to not only enforcing alcohol-related laws, but prevention and problem solving of alcohol
related issues. The police department will continue with the same effort after the grant has expired
in order to maintain a safe recreational tourist community.
