PROVIDE DETAILED ANSWERS TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS AS PART OF THE PROBLEM
STATEMENT:
1. Describe current traffic unit complement (number of personnel and classifications). If applicable,
describe how the size of the traffic unit has fluctuated in the past five years and why.
The NCPD Traffic Unit presently consists of one sergeant, three police officers and one non -sworn
Serious Traffic Offender Program (STOP) coordinator. The sergeant and three police officers are all
assigned police motorcycles for traffic enforcement. The Traffic Unit's third motor officer position,
third motorcycle and related equipment was added in September 2007 with the funds obtained
from OTS grant AL0817.
The Traffic Unit had also been responsible for parking related issues. However, in July 2010, the
three parking enforcement officer positions and the two abandoned vehicle abatement officer
positions were reassigned to National City's Community Services Department located outside the
Police Department in City Hall. The purpose for this change was for cost savings.
2. How many sobriety checkpoints did your department conduct between October 1, 2009 and
September 30, 2010? (Include checkpoints from all funding sources, i.e. OTS grants or mini -grants,
and department funded).

METHOD OF PROCEDURE
Phase I: Program Preparation, Training and Implementation (1st Quarter of the Grant Year)
• The police department will develop operational plans to implement the "best practice"
strategies outlined in the objectives section.
6 A draft news release will be submitted to OTS to announce the grant program.
6 All training needed to implement the program will be conducted this quarter.
6 All grant related purchases needed to implement the program will be made this quarter.
• In order to develop the "Hot Sheets", research will be conducted to identify the "worst of the
worst" repeat DUI offenders with a suspended or revoked license as a result of DUI convictions.
The Hot Sheets may include the driver's name, last known address, DOB, description, current
license status, and the number of times suspended or revoked for DUI. Hot Sheets will be
updated and distributed to traffic and patrol officers every three to four weeks.
• Implementation of the STEP program will be accomplished by deploying personnel at high
collision locations.
' DUI/Driver's License checkpoint site locations will have a history of significant alcohol involved
collisions and/or DUI arrests.
Phase II: Community Awareness (Throughout Grant Period)
6 The police department will work to create media opportunities throughout the grant period to
call attention to the innovative program strategies and outcomes.
Phase III: Data Collection & Reporting (Throughout Grant Period)
• The police department will submit a Quarterly Performance Report (QPR) and a separate
quarterly data reporting form within 30 days following each calendar quarter.
• The final QPR, Data Form, Claim and Executive Summary are due to OTS 30 days following the
grant's termination.
