During the City Council -s 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.
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.
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 respecti.ve areas_
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 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_
Direct staff as deemed appropriate.
