EXPLANATION:
On June 2nd, 2016 the National City Police Department was approved to receive $70,000 in grant funds
from the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). The grant was approved for a one year period beginning
October 1st, 2016. This award is based upon a grant proposal submitted to the Office of Traffic Safety
for the purpose of reducing the number of persons killed or injured in traffic collisions and alcohol
involved collisions; to reduce fatal and injury hit1d run collisions; to reduce the amount of motorcyclists
killed or injured; and to reduce fatal and injury collisions at intersections, where unsafe turning
movements and unsafe speeds were a factor.
The grant funds allocated to accomplish these goals will be used to fund overtime operations such as
DUI/DL Checkpoints, DUI saturation patrols, and enforcement operations regarding speed, red light
violators, distracted drivers and motorcycle safety enforcement within the city limits of the City of
National City. There is also funding allowing for Traffic Safety presentations and purchase of learning
materials.

GRANT DESCRIPTION

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The National City Police Department has seen a dramatic increase in DUI related arrests. In 2013 there were
166 DUI related arrests. In 2014 the arrest rate rose to 209, an increase of 26%. I believe this is a direct
correlation to the additional resources put on the street to enforce DUI laws. The resources include the DUI
Checkpoints as well as the DUI saturation patrol. The OTS grant enabled the National City Police Depart to put
additional officers on the street to combat the problem of DUI drivers. This resulted in the additional arrests of
DUI drivers and enhanced the safety of the community. Since the OTS Grant PT1560 began in October 2014,
officers from the National City Police Department have made over 22 DUI arrests during the roving DUI
patrols as well as checkpoints.
In addition the OTS grant targeting `Primary Collision Factors' or PCF as well as the Distracted Driver
enforcement has led to a drastic decrease in collisions. Total collisions in 2013 were 367 and reduced to 301, an
18% decrease. I also believe this is in direct correlation to increased traffic enforcement as allowed by the OTS
grant in order to place more police officers on the street looking for drivers who are distracted and driving
negligent. It should be noted there were an additional 14 DUI arrest by officers conducting `PCF' enforcement.
According the National City Police Department's Crime Analysis Unit there were 203 injury collisions in 2014
with 305 people being injured during those collisions. There were also three fatality collisions in 2014. Of the
203 injury collisions, 20 of the injury collisions were a result of DUI being the primary collision factor. This is
9.8% of the injury collisions were a result of DUI, which shows the need for increased DUI enforcement. This
is increase of 1.2% increase from 2013.
