Project Description: Exhibit A If successful in obtaining the ABC grant, SAPD would implement the following plan: Conduct at least 5 MINOR DECOY programs at ABC licensed establishments. Funding will also be utilized to conduct minor decoy operations at off -sale establishments within our city. These establishments will be identified by SET 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 with the assistance of ABC agents and within SAPD policy and procedure as well as ABC guidelines pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 4, Division 1, Section 141 (Minor Decoy Requirements). 2. Conduct roll tail training to our patrol officers regarding ABC laws and how to enforce them. SET officers, accompanied by ABC agents 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. 3. Coordinate and conduct 5 IMPACT (Infonned Merchants Preventing Alcohol Related Crime Tendencies) operations to educate licensees on how to reduce alcohol related crimes in their establishments. After receiving pertinent training, contact and inform ABC licensed establishments of their responsibilities regarding the sale of alcohol. This will build a working relationship with these establishments to better serve the public. Organize at least five (5) 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 problem oriented policing officers. SET officers coimnonly attend neighborhood meetings throughout the city 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 10 "Trap Door" operations. There are various ABC on -sale 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. SET officers will work directly with employees of these establishments and cite the person trying to use the false ID. Conduct 10 "Shoulder Tap" operations at ABC establishments identified as problematic. In conjunction with local ABC agents, SAPD SET officers will coordinate undercover operations in an attempt to have a minor solicit adults to buy alcohol beverages for them at ABC licensed establishments. The undercover operation will be within the policy and procedures of SAPD as well as ABC guidelines pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 4, Division 1, Section 141 (Minor Decoy Requirements). Schedule and coordinate 2 LEAD programs throughout the city. SET officers will organize and with the assistance of local ABC agents, provide a preventive and educational program pertaining to alcohol responsibility and the law. Our state of the art police facility building has a commmunity room which could hold the attendees of the LEAD program we host. 8. Work alongside ABC agents to enforce alcohol related violations and successfully prosecute those ABC licensed establisl ncnts who operate outside the legal parameters.
