Deputies will carry the flashlights on their utility belt while working on patrol. The <br />flashlights will serve as safety tools, enhance their ability to see and detect crime, and <br />illuminate potential hazards to their health and safety. <br />Quantifiable Performance Measures #2: <br />On the job injuries during the hours of darkness will be tracked and analyzed on a yearly <br />basis.

The RALS are portable, battery- operated, "flood lights" that can illuminate <br />large areas. The RALS are manufactured and sold by an American company located in our <br />same geographic area. <br />Goal #3: <br />The goal of the purchase is to be fully prepared to provide law enforcement services to our <br />community in the event of a natural disaster or catastrophic accident that causes a <br />prolonged power outage. The lighting will also provide visibility and safety at the scene of <br />major traffic accidents and other major crime scenes. The lights could also be used at any <br />night time outdoor activity associated with neighborhood watch or community outreach <br />programs. <br />Activities #3: <br />The patrol supervisor will carry these high - intensity, portable RALS in their patrol car. In <br />the event of a natural disaster or catastrophic accident at night, the supervisors will be able <br />to provide emergency lighting at a temporary command post or other community facility <br />while officers deliver emergency services such as first aid, traffic control, report taking, and <br />distribution of community resources (food, water, batteries, etc.) to those in need. The <br />RALS will also be available to our Crime Prevention Specialist and Community Service Unit <br />for special events and activities. <br />Quantifiable Per Measures #3: <br />In the event of a natural disaster, catastrophic accident or major crime scene, a log will be <br />kept documenting the hours of usage these RALS. A report will be prepared explaining the <br />event and describing the need and benefit of the RALS. A similar report will be prepared <br />2009- F1801 -CA -SB Page 18 of 61 <br />
