Ey �e%1 - i ,r eta-- Background- During a__Background-During the City Councils regular meeting on June 27, 1990, Council requested that staff prepare a report for additional staffing of either a Special Enforcement Detail (S.E.D. ) Officer or a Community Services Officer. Council has reserved $82,500.00 for this potential increased service level. Snen.ial Enforcement Detail- S.E.D. is primarily an enforcement team working at the East Valley Station. Five of the seven current positions are funded by the City of Thousand Oaks. Although they work primarily Thousand Oaks, occasionally they will work Moorpark. Typically duties include: Burglary surveillance Wanted subject surveillance Special problem area enforcement Street level narcotics enforcement Gang intelligence/enforcement Community Awareness presentations/training Truancy prevention/enforcement Supplement to uniform patrol. S.E.D. deploys as a team in responding to enforcement requests. Should Council decide to staff a S.E.D. position, that staff person will become part of the team. This staff person may not be in Moorpark everyday but when deployed in Moorpark, the City will receive the services of other team members. Moorpark will receive a minimum of 40 hours per week from S.E.D. personnel. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 This staffing level calls for a patrol deputy. First year salary costs are based on 22 bi-weekly pay periods_ Subsequent annual county staffing costs are based on 26 bi-weekly pay periods, 26.071 in fiscal year 90-91 . First year program costs are $82,500.00 and include: Overheaded salary & benefits $61 ,780.00 Vehicle purchase 14,600.00 Maintenance/mileage/depreciation 4,959.99 Portable radio 900.00 Vehicle purchase is a one-time start-up cost and includes; vehicle-$12,500.00, mobile radio-$2, 100. Community Services Officer (CSO) - The current responsibilities of the CSO for city-wide Crime Prevention activities and DARE instruction are excessive. Staffs original budget recommendation called for an additional officer to assume all city Crime Prevention activities. This new staff person was defined as the city's CSO and was to assume all Crime Prevention activities. The CSO's goals for this fiscal year included: 1. Regenerating existing Neighborhood Watch chapters. 2. Initiate new Neighborhood Watch chapters throughout the city. 3. Create and initiate a "Block Parent" program to serve the city's school children. 4. Establish an on-going Crime Prevention Education Program for the business community. 5. Introduce earthquake preparedness through the Neighborhood Watch program. 6. Provide Neighborhood Watch chapters on-going crime analysis information for their respective areas. Youth Resources Officer- Should the Honorable City Council opt to designate existing appropriations for an additional CSO, the current staff position may be redefined as a Youth Resources Officer. The Youth Resources Officer's objectives will be: 1_ Continue DARE Program at Flory School. 2. Expand the DARE concept to other schools, in cooperation with the school district. 3. Act as liaison with the city and schools on gang related issues/information. 4. Provide personal Safety/Crime Prevention information through the schools to the city's youths. 5. Function as liaison with schools administrators on Law Enforcement related issues. Administratively, this position is staffed by a Senior Deputy, however, to remain within existing appropriations, this new staff position may be staffed initially by a Deputy. The advantage of a Senior Deputy to the city in this staff position is their broader work knowledge and maturity. Like the S.E.D. position, first year salary costs are based on 22 bi-weekly pay periods. Subsequent annual staffing costs will be based on 26 bi-weekly pay periods. First year program costs are identical to the cost of an S.E.D. officer, $82,500.00. Summary- The ummaryThe duties identified for the staffing of either a CSO or S.E.D. officer, although defined as proposed, have flexibility to do other things. Funding for an S.E.D. staff position will provide the city with approximately 2,000 hours annually of the Special Enforcement Detail's regional service. The staff position will work with this unit and the city will receive the services of the unit as it addresses both routine and specific law enforcement issues. The designation of a new CSO will provide sufficient staff time to regenerate and expand the existing Neighborhood Watch program as well as initiate other Crime Prevention programs such as "Block Parent" and "Crime Stoppers" programs. This staff position will be more visible to local citizens and more closely identified with the city. Recommendation: Direct staff as deemed appropriate. SUPBUDG
