STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL
DATE: November 19, 2019
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM:
Christopher L. Foss, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Evaluation of Services and Agreement with Alameda County for Law
Enforcement Services
Prepared by: Nate Schmidt, Captain, Dublin Police Services & John
Stefanski, Assistant to the City Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will receive a comprehensive five-year evaluation of Dublin Police
Services and will consider a proposed contract for Police Services with the Alameda
County Sheriff’s Office for a 10-year period beginning July 1, 2020 and ending June 30,
2030.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the report and adopt the Resolution Approving the Agreement Between the
County of Alameda and the City of Dublin for Law Enforcement Services Within the City
of Dublin.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Costs for Police Services are estimated on an annual basis and are incorporated into
the City's budget process. The cost of services varies from year to year based on labor
agreements negotiated by the Alameda County Sheriff's Office with its labor units, and
the City’s staffing requirements to meet the needs of the community. Police Services
costs within the City of Dublin are estimated to be $20.9 million for Fiscal Year 2019-20,
for the provision of 59 sworn and four non-sworn police staff.
DESCRIPTION:
The City began contracting with the Alameda County Sheriff's Office (ACSO) for Police
Services on July 1, 1982. Over the past 38 years, the City and ACSO ha ve renewed
and/or extended the agreement between the two organizations 10 times. The contract
has proven to be a valuable asset to the community as the City has been able to gain
an economy of scale in contracting with a larger organization. Specifically, many of the
assets and services that have been available to the Dublin community through the
contract with ACSO are generally not available to communities the size of Dublin . The
Page 2 of 3
ACSO has been able to provide a high level of service while acting as the City's own
dedicated police force.
Pursuant to City Council policy, contract evaluations are conducted at or near the end of
the contract term. Staff has evaluated Police Services provided to the City under the
current contract, which has a term of five years and expires on June 30, 2020. As
County contract personnel and City staff work together to provide Police Services to the
community, the evaluation included an assessment of the services provided by City
employees that support police activities as well.
The criteria used to evaluate ACSO services were established in the previous contract
reviews, and they have served as key performance indicators that are valuable to the
City of Dublin. The criteria used to evaluate the contract are divided into cate gories as
follows:
• Category I: Quality of Services Provided
• Category II: Adequacy of Services Provided
• Category Ill: Cost of Services
The Contract Review Report (Report) can be found in Attachment 3. For 2018, Dublin
Police Services (DPS) drove 455,732 miles, maintained a foot patrol presence in the
commercial districts and residential park areas, and assisted Crime Prevention in
distributing informational materials to businesses and residences. Specifically,
Dublin Police Services responded to approximately 38,550 calls for service with an
average patrol response time of 5.06 minutes (July 2019). Throughout this work,
DPS regularly received numerous verbal commendations from residents and members
of the community.
Contract Overview
The high-level terms of the proposed agreement include the following:
• 10-year term; July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2030.
• City to pay for actual costs of services. Indirect costs (i.e. overhead) shall not
exceed 8%.
• Annual reviews of level of service must be completed by March 31 of each year.
• City Manager may request modifications to level of service at any time.
• Agreement may be terminated upon eighteen (18) months prior written notice by
either party.
The terms of this agreement are largely similar to those of previou s agreements and
provide the City with the latitude to adequately manage police services. Additionally, t he
Report provides an overall positive evaluation of ASCO Services. Therefore, Staff
determines it is in the best interest of the City to continue the contract and recommends
the City Council approve the proposed 10-year contract for law enforcement services.

2019 by and between the COUNTY OF ALAMEDA, hereinafter referred to as "COUNTY," and
the CITY OF DUBLIN, hereinafter referred to as "CITY." CITY and COUNTY are from time to
time referred to individually as a "Party'' and collectively as the "Parties."
RECITALS
A. The Parties are parties to that certain "Agreement Between The County Of Alameda
and the City of Dublin Regarding the Enforcement of State Laws and City Ordinances In The City
Of Dublin,” dated June 2, 2015, and expiring on June 30, 2020, under which the COUNTY,
through its Sheriff’s Office (the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, "ACSO") contracts to enforce
State laws and CITY ordinances within the City of Dublin.
B. The CITY is desirous of once again contracting with the COUNTY for the
enforcement by ACSO of State laws and CITY ordinances within the CITY until June 30, 2030,
and the COUNTY is willing to provide such services, pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth herein.
C. In so contracting with the COUNTY, the CITY is desirous of achieving sufficient
integration between the CITY and COUNTY that, to the extent possible, the performance of said
services by COUNTY is perceived to be substantially the same as if the CITY has a traditional
Police Department, and is conducted in a manner consistent with the City of Dublin Mission,
Vision and Values, which document is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
D. The CITY and COUNTY desire, during the term of the Agreement, to review
annually, prior to March 31 of each year, the level of service provided under the agreement and
associated costs and mutually agree on appropriate adjustments. This agreement shall consist of
this Agreement and Exhibits A to F, which are hereby attached to, incorporated, and made a part
of this Agreement by this reference.
THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
I. SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED
A. ENFORCEMENT OF STATE LAW AND CITY ORDINANCES. The COUNTY
agrees, through ACSO, to enforce CITY ordinances and State laws within the corporate limits of
CITY to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth. Services performed hereunder shall not

EXHIBIT A TO ATTACHMENT 1
B. BASIC LEVEL OF SERVICE. The basic level of service, in terms of
organizational structure and number of personnel, shall be as shown on the organization chart
attached hereto as Exhibit B and made a part hereto by this reference.
C. ANNUAL REVIEW OF LEVEL OF SERVICE. Prior to March 31 of each year,
the City Manager and ACSO representatives shall review whether the basic level of services set
forth in Exhibit B is adequate for the City’s needs for the coming fiscal year. Upon completion of
such review, and no later than May 15 of said year, the City Manager may propose modifications
to the basic level of services, which shall take the form of an amendment to Exhibit B and which
shall become effective on July 1 of said year, provided that both the Sheriff and City Council,
through the adoption of the City's budget, approve the amendment to Exhibit B.
D. OTHER REQUESTS FOR MODIFICATIONS TO LEVEL OF SERVICE. The
City Manager may at any time request modifications in the basic service levels set forth in Exhibit
B. If a modification to Exhibit B would require COUNTY to provide additional personnel, upon
agreement of the Sheriff, the COUNTY shall make every effort to provide such personnel within
ninety (90) days of the effective date of the modification to Exhibit B. If the COUNTY will be
unable to provide such additional personnel within the ninety (90) day period, COUNTY shall
notify the CITY of the anticipated date such personnel will be assigned. If a modification to
Exhibit B would require COUNTY to reduce the number of personnel assigned to the CITY, the
CITY shall provide the COUNTY with ninety (90) days’ notice prior to a proposed reduction in
police personnel and with ten (10) days' notice prior to a proposed reduction in civilian personnel.
E. SELECTION AND ASSIGNMENT OF MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL. Upon
request by the CITY, the Sheriff or his designated representative shall meet with the City Manager
who may provide input 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 input shall focus on the type of background,
experience and other factors that are pertinent to the provision of services pursuant to this
Agreement. The selection and assignment of such personnel shall be mutually agreed to by the
City Manager and the Sheriff. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the CITY may request, and the
COUNTY shall make reasonable efforts to accommodate, (subject to what is allowable under
existing labor agreements and/or State law), that individual management personnel be reassigned
if that individual demonstrates a lack of understanding or commitment to serving the needs of the
CITY under the terms of this Agreement.
F. SUPERVISION. The Sheriff shall have the responsibility for supervision of law
enforcement services, hiring of personnel, establishing employee standards of performance for
individual personnel, assignment of personnel, determining and effecting discipline, determining
required training, maintaining personnel files, and other matters relating to the performance of
employee services and control of personnel. In the event of a dispute between the parties as to the
manner of performance by personnel of required services, the CITY shall be consulted and a
mutual determination thereof shall be made by the Sheriff and the City Manager. In recognition of
the Sheriff's professional expertise in the area of law enforcement, it is agreed that, in any
unresolved dispute related to personnel, the Sheriff shall have the final and conclusive
determination as between the parties.
3
EXHIBIT A TO ATTACHMENT 1
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the CITY may request, and the COUNTY shall make reasonable
efforts to accommodate, (subject to what is allowable under existing labor agreements and/or State
law), that individual personnel at the rank of Sergeant or below be reassigned if that individual
demonstrates a lack of understanding or commitment to serving the needs of the CITY under the
terms of this Agreement.
G. PROVISION OF LABOR, SUPPLIES, AND EQUIPMENT. For the purpose of
performing the services hereunder, COUNTY shall furnish and supply all necessary labor,
supervision, equipment, communication facilities, and supplies necessary to maintain the level of
service to be rendered hereunder. As required under this Agreement, the CITY is obligated to
provide certain supplies and equipment, including but not limited to, office furnishings and
equipment as described in Section I.H below. Where not so obligated, the CITY may, in its sole
discretion, furnish and supply any other supplies and equipment. With the express exception of
personnel files, all files, records and other data, whether stored electronically or in a physical
location, collected or produced by COUNTY in the course of providing services under this
Agreement shall belong to CITY, to the extent permissible under federal and state law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, the
Party providing such supplies and equipment shall be the owner of such supplies and equipment
and shall be responsible for the prompt maintenance of such. Said duty to maintain supplies and
equipment shall include, but not be limited to, maintenance of any and all computers and related
hardware and software. It is recognized that computer related equipment and network services may
require integration between systems maintained individually by the CITY and the COUNTY. The
parties shall each assign technical Staff who maintain such systems to meet on a quarterly basis,
or more frequently if necessary, to identify any operational issues.
CITY shall be responsible for the purchase of computer systems utilized in patrol vehicles owned
by CITY, unless an alternate agreement for the purchase of such computer systems is made
between the parties. CITY shall be responsible for any repair and maintenance costs associated
with computer systems utilized in patrol vehicles owned by CITY.
H. CITY-SUPPLIED ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS. The parties have
determined that it is necessary for the Sheriff to maintain administrative headquarters in the CITY
in order for the Sheriff to provide adequate services to the CITY pursuant to this Agreement. CITY
shall furnish at its own cost and expense all necessary office space, furniture, and furnishings,
office supplies, janitorial service, telephone, light, water, and other utilities necessary for the
Sheriff to maintain the administrative headquarters in the CITY. In all instances where special
supplies, stationary, notices, forms and the like must be issued in the name of the CITY, the same
shall be supplied by the CITY at its expense. It is expressly understood that the Sheriff may use
the administrative headquarters supplied by the CITY in connection with the performance of his
duties in territory outside of the CITY and adjacent thereto; provided, however, that the
performance of such outside duties shall not be at any additional cost to the CITY. The COUNTY
shall reimburse the CITY for the cost of providing such facilities to the extent that such facilities
are used for activities outside the City of Dublin. (This paragraph is not operative under mutual
aid response.)
4
EXHIBIT A TO ATTACHMENT 1
I. COUNTY-SUPPLIED VEHICLES. The COUNTY agrees to provide three (3)
unmarked vehicles equipped with police communications and safety equipment, if requested by
the CITY. The age and condition of the cars shall be comparable to vehicles used by the Sheriff
for similar duties in the unincorporated area of the COUNTY. The CITY shall pay to the COUNTY
a monthly lease cost for such vehicles, which shall be established by the COUNTY on an annual
basis. Also, there shall be an additional charge to and payment by CITY for maintenance based on
the number of miles of service the vehicle is used. The CITY may, at its sole discretion, terminate
the lease of the vehicles at any time during the term of this Agreement, upon written notification
from the CITY to the COUNTY.
J. REPLACEMENT OF PERSONNEL. The COUNTY agrees to replace police or
civilian personnel assigned to the CITY who have been absent from duty for more than ten (10)
consecutive working days as a result of illness or injury. Replacement shall occur at the end of the
ten (10) day period during which the employee was absent. In no event shall the CITY be
responsible for any costs relating to the continued employment of police or civilian personnel who
have been absent from duty for more than ten (10) consecutive working days.
In the event of absences due to the use of vacation leave, compensatory time off, retirement,
or other excused absence (including extended training), the COUNTY also agrees to replace police
or civilian personnel when such an absence extends beyond twenty (20) consecutive working days.
Replacement of personnel in such circumstances may be waived for an agreed upon time period
with written approval by the City Manager. The replacement in such situations shall occur at the
end of the twenty (20) day period in which the employee was absent. In no event shall the CITY
be responsible for any costs relating to the continued employment of police or civilian personnel
who have been absent from duty for more than twenty (20) consecutive working days.
K. TRAINING. The COUNTY shall provide all necessary and mandatory training
required to ensure that employees assigned to the CITY comply with all state and agency mandated
training. The CITY agrees to provide training for assignments that are specific to the CITY's needs.
L. EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER. The COUNTY shall provide, at no cost
to the CITY, use of the Emergency Operations Center (“EOC”) at the Alameda County Office of
Emergency Services in the event of a local activation, provided that the CITY’S existing EOC at
the Dublin Civic Center is unable to be occupied during such an event. CITY understands that a
countywide activation would preclude the CITY’S sole use of the COUNTY’S EOC facility.
M. COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL. The Parties agree to establish a
communications protocol to be used in the event of crisis situations including, but not limited to,
situations where the provision of services pursuant to this Agreement results in serious injury or
death. At a minimum, said protocol shall enable the CITY to communicate in a timely manner
with the public while ensuring that the substance of such communications does not detrimentally
impact the COUNTY's ability to defend itself and the CITY from any claims arising out of the
provision of services.
5
EXHIBIT A TO ATTACHMENT 1
II. LIABILITY
A. PERSONNEL ARE COUNTY EMPLOYEES. All persons employed in the
performance of the services and functions for CITY pursuant to this Agreement shall be and shall
remain COUNTY employees, and no person hereunder shall have any CITY pension, civil service,
or other status or right. The COUNTY is not a member of the California Public Employees
Retirement System ("PERS"), and therefore the COUNTY employees providing services under
this Agreement are not enrolled in PERS. Instead, COUNTY employees providing services under
this Agreement are enrolled in the COUNTY's retirement system. The CITY indirectly makes
contributions to the COUNTY's retirement system on behalf of the COUNTY employees
providing services pursuant to this agreement by virtue of its obligation under section III.A of this
Agreement to pay the COUNTY’S actual costs of providing services, as shown in Exhibit C. The
CITY is a member of PERS, and its employees are enrolled in PERS. Notwithstanding any other
City, state, or federal policy, rule, regulation, law, or ordinance to the contrary, COUNTY agrees
that employees providing services under this Agreement shall not qualify for or become entitled
to, and hereby agree to waive on behalf of such employees any and all claims to, any compensation,
benefit, or any incident of employment by CITY, including but not limited to eligibility to enroll
in PERS as an employee of CITY and entitlement to any contribution to be paid by CITY for
employer contributions and/or employee contributions for PERS benefits.
B. CITY NOT LIABLE FOR COMPENSATING COUNTY EMPLOYEES. CITY
shall not be liable for any liability for the direct payment of any salary, wages, or other
compensation to COUNTY personnel performing services hereunder for CITY, or any liability
other than that provided in this Agreement. CITY shall not be directly liable for compensation or
indemnity to any COUNTY employee for injury or sickness arising out of his employment, except
as part of CITY’S payment of indirect costs and Risk Management costs to COUNTY.
C. COUNTY’S DUTY TO INDEMNIFY CITY. With the exception of any claims
arising from CITY or CITY’S officers, agents, and employees’ negligence or wrongful acts or
omissions, the COUNTY will assume liability and pay the cost of defense and hold the CITY
harmless from any loss, costs, or expenses arising out of, or resulting from, performance of services
pursuant to this Agreement, including negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of COUNTY
officers, agents, and employees. It is the intent of the Parties that, where negligence is determined
to have been contributory, principles of comparative fault will be followed and each Party shall
bear the proportionate costs of any loss, damage, expense and liability attributable to the Party’s
negligence.
In the event that any COUNTY employee providing services under this Agreement is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or PERS to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as
an employee of CITY, COUNTY shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CITY for the
payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of COUNTY
employees, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which
would otherwise be the responsibility of CITY.
6
EXHIBIT A TO ATTACHMENT 1
D. INSURANCE. The CITY and the COUNTY each acknowledge that the Parties are
self-insured entities and that they require their individual departments to contribute a specified
amount annually for the costs of maintaining self-insurance. Both the CITY and the COUNTY'S
self-insurance currently provide, and each Party agrees to continue to provide, the following self-
insurance coverage: workers' compensation as required by law, general commercial and
automobile liability, and professional liability.
The scope, limits, and forms of the COUNTY’S self-insurance coverage are as set forth in
the certificates of self-insurance attached hereto as Exhibit E. The scope, limits, and forms of the
CITY’s self-insurance coverage are as set forth in the certificates of self-insurance attached hereto
as Exhibit F.
Each the CITY and the COUNTY agree to provide the other Party with written notification
of any changes in coverage applicable to this Agreement and shall do so within thirty (30) days of
the change or within ten (10) days in the event the change results in the termination of coverage(s)
applicable to this Agreement. In the event either Party determines that it is unable to maintain the
insurance coverage at the scope, limits, and forms set forth in Exhibit E or Exhibit F, the Parties
shall confer, and if either Party determines that the coverages are inadequate, they shall have the
right to immediately terminate this Agreement. COUNTY and CITY agree to waive any rights of
subrogation for all of the above self-insurance coverages.
III. COST AND BILLING PROCEDURES
A. CITY TO PAY COUNTY ITS ACTUAL COSTS OF SERVICES. CITY shall pay
the COUNTY'S actual costs of providing services under this Agreement. The COUNTY'S actual
costs of services may include an indirect charge to cover that portion of the COUNTY'S indirect
or overhead costs that are attributable to the provision of services pursuant to this Agreement.
The indirect charge shall be a percentage of all the COUNTY'S actual cost of providing
services under this Agreement but shall not apply to the Risk Management Cost Allocation
(currently appropriated as an Internal Service Fund). The Sheriff shall maintain his discretion on
an annual basis to waive or not waive the indirect charges for dispatch services. The indirect charge
percentage shall not exceed eight percent (8%) during the term of this Agreement.
B. ANNUAL BUDGET For the purposes of allowing the CITY to budget for the costs
of services under this Agreement, the Sheriff or his designated representative shall prepare and
submit to the City Manager a budget for the succeeding fiscal year that estimates the COUNTY's
actual costs of providing services under this Agreement, including the indirect charges. The budget
shall be submitted in the general form set forth in Exhibit C and in accordance with CITY’s budget
instructions and required deadlines. The CITY agrees that the operating budget may be amended
upon written notice to the CITY whenever the Board of Supervisors adjusts the salaries and/or
benefits of the personnel assigned to the CITY under this Agreement. In the event that such an
ordinance results in a requirement to 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 COUNTY shall use its best efforts
to provide service under the Agreement within the approved budget. Should COUNTY determine
that, in any budget item, expenditures will exceed the original estimate, the COUNTY shall
7
EXHIBIT A TO ATTACHMENT 1
promptly notify the CITY so that a mutually acceptable resolution can be made to correct the
situation.
C.BILLING AND PAYMENT. Effective July 1, 2020, the COUNTY shall deliver to
CITY a bi-monthly, itemized invoice that covers the actual costs of all services performed under
this Agreement during the preceding bi-monthly period, and CITY shall pay COUNTY therefore
within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of said invoice. The invoices shall be submitted
in a format similar to Exhibit D and be delivered according to the schedule contained in Exhibit
D.In conjunction with said invoices, the COUNTY shall provide to the CITY all supporting
documentation reasonably requested by the CITY, in a form acceptable to the CITY, and in
sufficient detail to allow the CITY to audit, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, costs and expenses incurred by the COUNTY in the performance of its obligations under
this Agreement. Said supporting documentation shall include, but not be limited to: electronic files
of payroll and benefit records for the relevant bi-monthly period, and service hours and daily
schedules of staff deployment, including positions vacant for any reason. In the event that
COUNTY fails to deliver said invoice, including all required documentation, within sixty (60)
days of the due date, the COUNTY shall be subject to a one percent (1%) penalty. Said penalty
shall be increased by an additional one percent (1%) for each additional period of thirty days during
which COUNTY fails to deliver said invoice and required documentation. CITY acknowledges
that the final bill of each year may not reflect the final and complete actual costs of that final bi-
monthly period, and that the final and complete actual costs will be included as an adjustment with
the first bi-monthly bill of the next year. If such payment is not received by COUNTY at the office
described on said invoice within thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of said invoice, including
all required supporting documentation, COUNTY is entitled to recover interest thereof. Said
interest shall be at the rate of one percent (1%) per calendar month or any portion thereof calculated
from the last day of the month in which the services were performed.
D.BILLING DISPUTES. In the event that CITY disputes any portion of the bi-
monthly invoice submitted by COUNTY pursuant to section III.C, the Sheriff shall meet with the
City Manager, and the Sheriff and the City Manager shall attempt to resolve the dispute. If the
dispute is not resolved to the satisfaction of the CI'TY or COUNTY, either party may seek any
available legal or equitable remedies.
IV.FINES & FORFEITURES
The distribution of fines and forfeitures under Section 1463 et. seq. of the Penal Code shall be
made to the CITY.
V.COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS
In performing the services to be provided pursuant to this Agreement, COUNTY and CITY shall
comply with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations, including but not limited to laws
and regulations relating to discrimination and laws requiring injury and illness prevention
programs.

performing the services to be provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be disposed of pursuant
to the provisions of Chapter 2.40 of the Dublin Municipal Code.
B.When property described in Health and Safety Code Section 11470 is seized by
COUNTY personnel performing the services to be provided pursuant to this Agreement on behalf
of and for the benefit of CITY, COUNTY shall take such actions as are necessary to forfeit such
property to CITY and where property is forfeited to CITY, the proceeds shall be distributed
pursuant to the provisions of Health and Safety Code Section 11489.
VII.EFFECTIVE DATE; TERM; TERMINATION
This Agreement shall have an effective date of July 1, 2020 and shall run for a period of ten (10)
years ending June 30, 2030. The Agreement may be supplemented, amended or modified at any

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be extended from month to month following
June 30, 2030 (for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months) under the terms of the Agreement

POLICE SERVICES CONTRACT
REVIEW REPORT
2015-2019
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 the
Crime Prevention Unit, 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 455,732 miles driven in 2018, Dublin
Police Officers maintained a foot patrol presence in the commercial districts and
residential park areas, and assisted Crime Prevention in distributing informational
materials to businesses and residences. In 2018, Dublin Police Services responded to
approximately 38,550 calls for service.
Dublin Police Services utilizes a part-time bicycle unit 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. Four additional motorcycles have been added to the unit since that time. The
five 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.
2
ATTACHMENT 2
The Crime Prevention Unit Staff participate in numerous community activities, including
area health fairs, youth bicycle workshops, and National Night Out. In 2010, Dublin Police
Services began a "Coffee with the Chief” program. This informal event provides the public
with an opportunity to speak one-on-one with the Chief and other Police Services staff
about policing 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 comments:
The two times we were in need of 911, your Officers, Firefighters and paramedics
were more than just professional, they were caring and kind. They handled the
situation both times perfectly.
Meeting and talking with you, Chief Holmes was one of the nicest encounters I
have had with law enforcement living on the streets. It was a real pleasure finally
meeting you in person. Thank you for taking the time to meet with me, talk with
me and not at me. I am deeply grateful and indebted to you for all your help. It's
really rare to encounter someone so genuine and approachable.
The safety of our students is of utmost importance to all of us [stated DUSD
Superintendent Hanke] after a student who was riding a bicycle to school was
pinned underneath a vehicle. We are reminded of how fortunate we are to have
the remarkable emergency service that we enjoy here in Dublin.
As you know my son attended the Dublin Youth Police Academy last week. He had
nothing but good things to say about the facilitators especially Deputy Christina
Blaylock. He really enjoyed his interactions with her and said she made it fun. I also

Personnel have been added to police services over the past five years to provide the
ongoing high level of service to the community. In 2015, two patrol officers were added. In
2016, a captain was added to assist with the growing administrative tasks and also create a
succession plan for the department. In 2017, two patrol officers were added. In 2018, a
traffic officer and patrol officer were added. In 2019, a sergeant and detective were added.
The sergeant will supervise the swing shift officers and backfill for the nightshift sergeants to

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 are as

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 specific areas, and
complete enforcement actions in Dublin on average three times per year.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) – Dublin Police Services has an excellent working
relationship with Mothers Against Drunk Driving which is a nonprofit organization in the
United States and Canada that seeks to stop drunk driving, support those affected by drunk
driving, prevent underage drinking, and strive for stricter impaired driving policy, whether
that impairment is caused by alcohol or any other drug.
Office of Traffic Safety Grant (OTS) – Dublin Police Services has been awarded grant
funding from the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) which strives to eliminate traffic deaths and
injuries. It does this by making available grants to local and state public agencies for
programs that help them enforce traffic laws, educate the public in traffic safety, and provide
varied and effective means of reducing fatalities, injuries and economic losses from
collisions.

Holiday 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 is aimed at minimizing the impact of the traditionally
higher crime rate at this time of year. The task force 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 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.

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-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. 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.
