DESCRIPTION:
Pursuant to City Council policy, contract evaluations are conducted at the end of the contract
term. Staff has evaluated Police Services currently provided to the City under contract with the
Alameda County Sheriff's Office. The current contract has a term of five years and expires on
June 30, 2010. As County contract personnel and City personnel work together to provide
Police Services to the community, information regarding services provided by City employees
assigned to Police Services has also been included in this evaluation.
The contract review criteria used to evaluate the Alameda County Sheriff's services were
established in the previous contract reviews and they have served as key indicators that are
valuable to the City of Dublin. The criteria categories are as follows:
• Category l: Quality of Services Provided
• Category ll: Adequacy of Services Provided
• Category lll: Cost of Services
• Category IV: Recommended Modifications to Agreement between City and County for
Police Services
I. QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED
PUBLIC SERVICE INFORMATION AND EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS
Public service information and educational materials are routinely distributed to all segments of
the community. Distribution of this material is accomplished through Crime Prevention Officers,
uniformed Patrol Officers, Community Safety Assistants, information bulletins from
Investigations, and press releases from Administration. Public service information is also
available and handed out at the Police station, through Crime Prevention programs, and at
special events in the community.
DEPARTMENT VISIBILITY
Dublin Police Services continues to maintain high visibility within the community. This visibility
not only imparts a feeling of safety and security for the citizens, but also serves as a deterrent to
the criminal element. In addition to 410,933 miles driven in 2009, Dublin Police Officers
maintained a foot patrol presence in the commercial districts and residential park areas, and
assisted Crime Prevention in distributing Crime Prevention material to businesses and
residences. In 2009, Dublin Police Services responded to approximately 38,000 calls for
service.
Dublin Police Services instituted a part-time bicycle unit in Fiscal Year 1994-95 that continues to
operate today. The unit has been utilized during holiday periods to provide visibility in the
commercial parking areas; during parades to assist with traffic and crowd control; to provide
patrol and traffic control services at Hacienda Crossings; and to address specific crime trends in
commercial and residential areas and community parks. The bicycle unit has generated
positive feedback from both the business community and the citizens of Dublin.
Dublin Police Services instituted the first traffic enforcement motorcycle unit in Fiscal Year
2001-2002. Two additional motorcycles have been added to the unit since that time. The ihree
Page 2 of 18
motorcycles provide additional departmental visibility within the community, most significantly
while completing routine traffic enforcement duties and at special community events.
In 2007, a Canine Program was created to supplement existing efforts in protecting the
community and preventing crime. In addition to regular patrol duties, the two Officers and their
canine partners participate in community events, school activities, and maintain visibility at
commercial complexes throughout the City.
The Crime Prevention Unit Staff participate in numerous community activities, including child
safety seat check events, area health fairs, youth bicycle rodeos, and National Night Out. In
2010, Dublin Police Services began a"Coffee with the Chief" program. This informal quarterly
event provides the public with an opportunity to speak one-on-one with the Chief and other
police services staff about police and safety related issues in the community.
OFFICER PROFESSIONALISM AND PUBLIC RELATIONS
Positive police contacts with the community promote excellent public relations and community
involvement. Exceptional work, demonstrating a high degree of professionalism, is reflected
through input from the community. The Police Chief and the City Manager regularly receive
communications from community members and other police officials commending Dublin Police
Services Staff for their excellent work. Staff has included the following excerpts from some of
these commendations:
•"I wanted to thank your night shift officers for their speedy response...l really appreciate
the support we've been getting from the Dublin Police."
•"I wanted to take this opportunity to commend your staff for the outstanding work they did
with the hazardous material spill which occurred May 29t". This incident was a prime
example of how two agencies should work together to achieve a common goal."
•:~ "We have lived in Dublin since 1967 and have seen our city grow at a rapid pace. Dublin
is a safe and fantastic place to live in, thanks to Dublin Police Services."
•"The Women's Guild sincerely thanks you for taking the time to speak to our Parish
about `Personal Safety'. We appreciate your service to our community."
•"The skilled and calm professionalism of your entire team was crucial in assuaging a
serious and emotionally-charged situation. For this I am eternally grateful."
•:' "Despite extreme heat and very dusty and dirty conditions, personnel worked tirelessly
and professionally to ensure that no possible evidence of these cases was left behind or
missed."
•"It was nice to have such a positive contact with a law enforcement official. Many young
people never have the opportunity to actually interact with police in this type of
environment."
~:• "Thank you for the opportunity to go on a`ride along'. It was really a great experience
and showed me a lot of things you need to know as a police officer."
•'~ "...found my trunk open and closed it for me and left his card. It is the little things you do
• that matter."
~:• "I just wanted to thank you for all your efforts in the Citizens Academy! We are ~!I
enjoying it so very much!! It is awesome!! We are so thankful to you and the officers for
all the effiorts!"
Page 3 of 18
•"This is a shining example of regional law enforcement cooperation which resulted in the
apprehension of a violent felony suspect. As a result of their hard work, our communities
are much safer places to live and work for our citizens."
Additionally, Dublin Police Services continues to receive numerous verbal commendations from
residents and members of the community recognizing Staff's ongoing commitment to
professionalism and courtesy.
CITIZEN SURVEY
During this contract period, one Citizen Survey was completed (year 2007). The survey was
randomly distributed to residents and business owners/operators in the community. The survey
was used to assist Staff in identifying community issues and concerns related to Police
Services, and the appropriate allocation of future resources. Overall, community members
were very satisfied with the law enforcement services provided and held a favorable impression
of Officers. Table 1 shown below provides a summary of the Citizen Survey results:

II. ADEQUACY OF SERVICES PROVIDED
PATROL SERVICES
Patrol services to the City of Dublin are provided by the Alameda County Sheriff's Office. For
Fiscal Year 2009-2010, Patrol Services is comprised of twenty-six (26) uniformed Patrol
Officers, four (4) Patrol Sergeants, one (1) Training/Administrative Sergeant, and one (1) Patrol
Lieutenant. Additionally, there are three (3) Officers and one (1) Sergeant assigned to full-time
traffic enforcement duties.
Page 5 of 18
The Patrol Sergeants are assigned as Patrol Watch Commanders, each in charge of their
respective watches. In addition to supervising their assigned patrol personnel, Watch
Commanders have full operational responsibility for incidents occurring in the City. Watch
Commanders evaluate crime statistics, maintain patrol indexes, review reports prepared by
Patrol Officers, detail Patrol Officers to specific areas as needs arise, identify and arrest
suspects, investigate crimes, assist in training, assume on-scene command responsibility at
major incidents, study specific crime trends and develop strategy and prepare crime information
bulletins to keep Patrol Officers aware of recent criminal activity. Watch Commanders also
perform administrative duties at the direction of the Chief of Police.
Patrol Officers assigned to Dublin Police Services have the training and experience to respond
to all calls for service and take initial crime reports. Patrol Officers often initiate follow-up
investigations in criminal cases. This action promotes excellent community-police relations and
instills confidence in the ability of the patrol force to protect the public. Patrol Officers are
heavily involved in public contact through frequent contacts in business areas and
neighborhoods including City parks. All Patrol Officers are expected to keep abreast of criminal
activity in the City, ufilizing information bulletins that have been developed specifically by Crime
Prevention, Investigations, and other Patrol personnel, for this purpose. Patrol assignments
continue to be flexible, allowing specific assignments to be made as the need arises with
minimum disruption to the level of service provided to the community. At this time, the average
patrol response time is 5:49 minutes (January 2010 through March 2010).

Traininq and Administrative Activities
Since 2007, fewer people assigned to DPS needed POST Mandatory Training courses. The
most obvious area wherein POST Mandatory training was decreased was in the area of Field
Training Officer (FTO) Training. Beginning in 2008, DPS has not trained as many patrol officers
as has been done in the past. Many of the deputies transferred to DPS since 2008 were
"already" FTO trained. Additionally, newly assigned detective/investigators have mandatory
training that is required upon assignment. The detective/investigators have remained relatively
static over the past several years; this is reflected in the reduced number of mandatory training
hours. Per the contract, ACSO is required to provide all the necessary training (POST
Mandated and other training) for its employees at no cost to the City.
TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT
One Sergeant and three full-time Officers are dedicated to traffic enforcement as mentioned
previously. The Traffic Unit participates in activities such as: traffic enforcement, radar speed
enforcement, accident response and investigations, commercial vehicle enforcement,
community safety awareness programs, child safety seat checks and checkpoints, drunk driving
checkpoints, and towing of abandoned vehicles from the street. Three motorcycles have been
added to the Traffic Unit since the last contract evaluation; these units have proven to be
invaluable tools in the enforcement of traffic laws throughout the City.

Commercial Officers of Southern Alameda Countv (COSAC) - COSAC Officers promote
commercial vehicle safety for vehicles that pass through the participating cities and help reduce
damage to City streets; the Dublin Traffic Sergeant and one Traffic Officer are members of
COSAC. COSAC Officers travel to member jurisdictions, between Fremont and Oakland, to
assist participating agencies in commercial vehicle enforcement as reciprocation for assistance.
This allows each agency to have equal access to trained personnel to perForm commercial
vehicle inspections in their respective jurisdictions.
Combined Intensive Traffic Enforcement (CITE) - Officers assigned to the Dublin Traffic Unit
also participate in CITE events. On a monthly-rotating basis, CITE, consisting of Officers from
Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore, and California Highway Patrol, provides concentrated traffic
enforcement for specifically identified problem areas or other locations receiving community
complaints. CITE allows participating Officers to saturate targeted areas, and complete
enforcement actions in Dublin on average three times per year.
Avoid the 21 Campaiqn - Throughout the year, Officers participate in the Avoid the 21
Campaign, in conjunction with the other twenty law enforcement agencies in Alameda County.
A~oid the 21 focuses enforcement efforts on reducing drunken driving incidents throughout the
county during specified time periods during the year. Multiple DUI checkpoint operations are
conducted in Dublin during the campaign periods. The following workload indicators in Table 8

Speed Enforcement Equipment - Both hand-held and fixed unit radar are in use to enforce
speed laws. Radar controlled speed indicators on trailers have been used in selected areas to
educate drivers regarding their vehicle speeds. The radar trailer has been an effective tool to
discourage speeders in specific locations where the traffic unit has received complaints from
citizens and/or other Officers.
Child Safetv Seat Inspections - The Traffic Unit began offering child safety seat inspections to
the public in March of 2003. By appointment, specially trained and certified Officers, Sheriff's
Technicians, and Crime Prevention Staff, will assist community members in properly installing
their child safety seats. Additionally, two scheduled chifd safety seat installation events are held
in the City during the year. This service has been extremely well received by the community
and demand has continued to grow.
Vehicle Abatement - Traffic Officers continue to focus efforts on vehicle abatement activities. In
Calendar Year 2009, 335 vehicles were voluntarily abated throughout the City and 25 vehicles
were successfully abated and removed from public property.
Taxi Cab Permits - Responsibility for issuance of Taxi permits was assigned to the Traffic Unit
in 2003. Increasing numbers of taxi companies have been drawn to the area since the opening
of the BART station, and permit applications for company owners and drivers have increased
steadily. Enforcing compliance with all laws and regulations regarding taxi cab operations
ensures the safety of taxi cab service customers and other drivers using Dublin's roadways;
ensures taxi cab vehicle safety; and ensures that criminal and DMV background checks are
completed on all drivers. Opening of the West Dublin BART Station will most likely result in an
increased number of taxi companies operating in the community.
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS
The Investigations Section is currently comprised of one Administrative Lieutenant who
oversees all criminal investigations (including Crime Prevention), one (1) Detective-Sergeant
position and four (4) Detective-Officers. The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is comprised of
one (1) Detective- Sergeant and two (2) Detective-Officers.
Persons/Property Crimes
The Detective-Sergeant and Detective-Officers assigned to general investigations have
received specialized training from state certified schools for various aspects of criminal
investigation including: homicide, sexual assault, vehicle theft, computer crimes, interviewing
Page 9 of 18
and interrogations, identify fraud and theft, and arson investigation. The Detective-Sergeant
and Detective-Officers are responsible for the investigation of all persons/property crimes
including, but not limited to: homicide, robbery, assault, burglary, auto theft, forgery, check and
credit card fraud, identity theft, and sex crimes. The Detective-Sergeant is generally
responsible for the investigation of juvenile crime cases, as well as child abuse, and other sex
crime cases. The Investigations Section maintains a flexibility that allows for any or all of the
investigators to conduct either joint or independent investigations depending on the severity of
cases received. This flexibility has allowed the Investigations Section to continue to provide a
high level of service to the community.

Investigation Section for Calendar Years 2005 through 2009:

Investiqations Workload Indicators - The New CAD/ILEADS software system records a case
being "cleared" if an arrest is made by a patrol officer. In previous years, investigators closed all
cases, even those cases where patrol made the arrest. Additionally, if the patrol officer does
not initially identify any viable investigative leads in a case, and none come subsequent to the
report, the case will not be assigned to an investigator. This new process results in fewer cases
being assigned to the investigators. Property crime investigations are usually the most
challenging to solve as it is difficult to obtain suspect (no witness) information. With persons
and check investigations there is generally a witness that can provide some suspect
information, to assist in moving an investigation forward.
Holidav Crime Suppression Team/Crime Suppression Team (CST) - For several years, Dublin
Police Services has operated a multi-faceted task force during the holiday season, the Holiday
Crime Suppression Team, aimed at minimizing the impact of the traditionally higher crime rate
at this time of year. The task force is coordinated by the Investigations Section and targets
potential crime areas such as: retail shopping centers, commercial parking lots and high
volume traffic areas. The task force reviews crime trends daily and utilizes Crime Prevention
personnel, detectives, regular patrol personnel and volunteers to address issues. A bicycle
patrol unit is deployed within the commercial/retail areas to provide high profile deterrence.
This team is well received by the public. The response from both the business and residential
Page 10 of 18
communities has been positive and the task force continues to be successful in preventing
criminal activity during the holiday season, a traditionally active time of the year for law
enforcement. In 2009, Dublin Police Services enhanced this effort by opening a Holiday
Storefront operation at Hacienda Crossings.
The success of this team is demonstrated by the increase in arrests and decrease in Part I
crimes during the operational period.
Special Investiqations Unit (Narcotics/Vice/Ganqs)
This unit is comprised of three investigators, a Detective-Sergeant who serves as the supervisor
of the unit, and two Detective-Officers. The unit's primary focus is the investigation of narcotics-
related violations and complaints from within the community and surrounding areas and
detection and prevention of vice and gang related activity. Investigators also assist Patrol
Officers in the investigation of on-view narcotic violations, interview potential narcotic suspects,
generate cases based on information developed within and outside the department, investigate
other vice and gang related offenses, and assist the other investigators as required. These
investigators are also utilized to staff unusual investigations and are deployed to target specific
crime trends.

Calendar Years 2005 through 2009:

The Sergeants assigned to general investigations and Narcotics, as well as the Crime
Prevention Sergeant, will occasionally act as Patrol Watch Commanders, when needed for
backfill due to vacation, sick leave, and training.
CRIME PREVENTION & COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
Tne Crime Prevention Unit is staffed by the following contract employees: one (1) Sergeant and
two (2) Officers. In addition, two (2) full-time Community Safety Assistants (city employees) are
assigned to the Crime Prevention Unit.
Crime Prevention personnel provide services to both City residents and the business
community through "Neighborhood Crime Watch" and "Merchant Alert" programs. Community
Awareness presentations are conducted for the purpose of providing the public with information
relative to public safety issues. Additionally, Crime Prevention provides for the distribufiion of
safety literature through business, residential, and school contacts, as well as maintaining the
School Liaison Program, which offers education on drug and alcohol abuse, and other safety
Page 11 of 18
issues. Specific services provided by the School Resource Officer position are discussed
below.
In a continuing effort to provide professional and the most complete safety information available
to the citizens of Dublin, the Dublin Police Services Crime Prevention Unit offers comprehensive
programs that are geared to the community's needs and structured so that they can be
responsive to new ideas and programs.
Neiqhborhood Crime Watch - This popular program continues to operate within the City. Ifis
cornerstone program, Neighborhood Watch, currently has 186 groups, an increase from 147
groups that existed in 2000. New requests for establishment of additional Neighborhood Watch
groups continue to be received by the Crime Prevention Unit.
Merchant Alert - The Merchant Alert Program currently has 526 active members. The
Community Safety Assistants organize participants into groups, which are designed to provide
an information exchange between merchants on topics ranging from suspects and their
techniques, to store security evaluations. The Crime Prevention Unit also publishes and
distributes a quarterly "Merchant's A~ert Newsletter". Twenty-two (22) banks/financial
institutions are active in the Merchant's Alert Program and are routinely provided with up-to-date
crime trend information specific to bank security.
Community Awareness - Dublin Police Services offers awareness programs that deal with a
wide range of issues. During 2009, Police Services and the Dublin Unified School District
continued to work together to provide the Drug Awareness and Prevention Program to all levels
of Dublin students, with 146 public and private school presentations provided to a total of 1,375
students. Other programs offered through Community Awareness include: personal safety and
rape prevention; senior safety and security; home and business security; robbery, shoplifting,
check/credit card theft, and fraud prevention; child DNA kits; adult drug awareness and
resistance; and child safety seat checks. Bicycle safety, licensing and other services, such as
child fingerprinting, are provided on an as-requested basis to community groups.
Safetv Literature - Dublin Police Services continues to provide a wide range of safety and
security literature to the general public on a variety of subjects. This information is available to
the public, free of charge, at several locations throughout the City, including the Police Services
facility and the public library.
Crime-Free Multi-Housinq Proqram -
One officer is dedicated to the Crime-Free Multi-Housing program. The program is designed to
help tenants, owners, and managers of rental property keep drugs and other illegal activity off
their property. This collaboration between Dublin Police Services and property managers and
residents of rental properties results in reduced crime on these properties, increased resident
safety, and lower property repair and maintenance costs. There are currently eight (8)
properties participating in the program. Property managers use a lease agreement endorsed by
Dublin Police Services, stipulating that specified criminal acts committed on the property will
result in immediate termination of the resident's lease.

SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS
Dublin Police Services works closely with the professional education community. Police
Services is committed to working with the Dublin Unified School District and private school
systems to assist in fostering students' educational experiences and to provide a safe
environment in which they may learn. The two (2) School Resource Officers (SRO's) work with
public and private schools to promote positive relations among faculty, students and the police.
The Officers educate both staff and students in regard to available community awareness
programs tailored for youth from kindergarten through high school. The first formal SRO
position was implemented in 2001, following receipt of a three year Federal "COPS in Schools"
grant. The second School Resource Officer position was added in Fiscal Year 2005-2006.

For Fiscal Year 2009-2010, projected Police Contract expenditures are approximately
$11,339,870, a savings of approximately $1,100,000 from the adopted budget; primarily due to
anticipated savings in contract personnel costs. Negotiated salary increases were unknown at
the time of the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 budget preparation. DPS also worked diligently to
manage the overtime authorized during FY 2009-2010 further keeping costs down.
In January 2010, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors adopted a new labor agreement for
the Deputy Sheriff's Association. The agreement included a 0% salary increase for three years
(2009, 2010, and 2011), having a positive impact on the City's Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Police
Services costs as noted above.

Indirect Charges - The Sheriff's Office has reviewed its indirect charges to the City to determine
an appropriate rate. Indirect rate proposals for future years are discussed below. In
accordance with the current agreement for police services, the County has charged the Cify
indirect rates in Table 15 as follows:
IV. RECOMMENDED MODIFICATIONS TO AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY AND COUNTY
FOR POLICE SERVICES
The City Manager has met with Sheriff's Office personnel to discuss the terms of a new police
services agreement between the City and the County. A new five-year agreement for Police
Services, terminating June 30, 2015, has been developed for City Council consideration. This
agreement is substantially the same as the City's current agreement, yet Staff would like to
highlight certain changes to the contract including selection of management personnel (Section
I-E), provision for Emergency Operations Center space at the Alameda County Office of
Emergency Services (Section I-L), County's duty to indemnify City (Section II-C), and indirect
charges for the term of the contract (Section III-A).
Section I-E (SELECTION OF MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL) - The proposed contract provides
the City Manager with input to the Sheriff on the selection of the Chief of Police as well as any
classification at the rank of Lieutenant or above assigned to the City. The prior contract only
provided the City Manager with input on the selection of the Chief of Police.
Section !-L (EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER) - The proposed contract requires the
County to provide, at no cost to the City, space at the Alameda County Office of Emergency
Services for use as an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) for the City. The prior contract
was silent on this issue.
Section I-M (COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL) - The proposed contract provides that the
parties will establish a communications protocol to be used in the event of crisis situations.
Section II-C (COUNTY'S DUTY TO INDEMNIFY CITY) - The proposed contract updates
indemnification language to comply with current laws.
Section III-A (CITY TO PAY COUNTY ITS ACTUAL COSTS OF SERVICES) - The proposed
contract provides that the City's indirect charge percentage shall remain fixed at 9% for each
year of the contract. The previous contract allowed for an increasing indirect cost (at .25%
each year) with a 9% indirect cost in FY 2009-10. The proposed contract provides a cap on the
indirect cost percentage increase, providing the City with a measure of cost containment for the
next five years.

it is unable to maintain the insurance coverage at the scope, limits, and forms set forth in Exhibit
E, the COIJNTY shall confer with the CITY, and if the CITY determines that the coverages are
inadequate, the CITY shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement. County

make retroactive payments or other adjustments to the compensation of said personnel, the
amount of such retroactive payment or other adjustment shall be evenly allocated over three (3)
bi-monthly billing cycles. The COL7NTY shall use its best efforts to provide service under the
