Exhibit A With the new ABC Grant, we will continue to address these issues starting with two LEAD training sessions at the beginning of the project period to educate as many ABC licensees to reduce violations under their control. SAPD recognizes that some of our ABC licensed establishments have Spanish-speaking employees and because of this reason, we will provide a translator at both of the LEAD classes. An emphasis will be placed on Minor Decoy programs to reduce the number of licensees who sell alcohol to minors and long-term undercover operations in ABC licensed establishments with a proven record of violations. The continuing enforcement of ABC and alcohol related laws at and near ABC, licensed establishments will ensure our efforts to keep Santa Ana residents and visitors safer will succeed. Project Description: If successful in obtaining the ABC grant, SAPD would implement the following plan: Conduct at least 10 MINOR DECOY programs at ABC licensed establishments. Funding will also be utilized to conduct minor decoy operations at off -sale and on -sale establishments. These establishments will be identified by Directed Patrol Officers who routinely have contact with community members, and can gather intelligence regarding illegal sales of alcohol to minors. The Minor Decoy Operations will be conducted within SAPD policy and procedure as well as ABC guidelines pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 4, Division I, Section 141 (Minor Decoy Requirements). The need to continue monitoring our licensees was demonstrated by 2017/2018 decoy operations which resulted in an on sale unsuccessful rate of 66.7% and an off sale unsuccessful rate of 16.9%. 2. Conduct sic roll call training sessions to our Patrol officers regarding ABC laws and how to enforce them. Directed Patrol Officers will present information to SAPD patrol officers during various roll call sessions. The information will instruct officers regarding pertinent ABC laws, and effective report writing to establish and prosecute ABC violations. With the last ABC Grant we received, at least 93 patrol ofiiccrs attended roll call training while assisting our detail with related operations. Coordinate and conduct 15 IMPACT/ROSTF (Informed Merchants Preventing Alcohol Related Crime Tendencies and Retail Operating Standards Task Force) operations to educate licensees on how to reduce alcohol related crimes in their establishments and to verify compliancc. After receiving pertinent training, contact and inform ABC licensed establishments of their responsibilities regarding the sale of alcohol. During these inspections, Code Enforcement, Employment Development Department and Department of Industrial Relations will be invited to gain the maximum effect and compliance. 4. Organize at least five community meetings: hold an ask/answer session regarding possible Problems related to ABC licensed establishments. This will be done in conjunction with our regular neighborhood meetings attended by our Police Service Officers. Directed Patrol Officers commonly attend neighborhood meetings pertaining to neighborhood watch, gang issues, and school functions. Officers will take the opportunity to speak with residents regarding problematic ABC licensed establishments, accessibility of alcohol to minors, drinking in public and other alcohol related issues. 5. Coordinate and conduct six "Trap Door' operations. There are 256 active on -sale retail licensed establishments in our city. A few of these establishments attract minors who enter the club or bar illegally with false ID's and consume alcohol. Directed Patrol Officers will work directly with employees of these establishments and cite the person trying to use the false ID and if possible the person who provided it. 55B-7
