Fiscal Impact This California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Selective Traffic Enforcement Program grant does not require matching funds. There is no negative fiscal impact in accepting this grant. Alternative Action The City Council could choose not to ratify the grant application. The Redding Police Department (RPD) would lose the opportunity to focus additional efforts toward traffic enforcement. Background/Analysis On January 31, 2024, RPD submitted an OTS Selective Traffic Enforcement Program application for its 2024 funding year, which begins October 1, 2024. RPD requested funding for the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program to hire a dedicated Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Officer, increase traffic safety enforcement, and to purchase a traffic crash database system, in the amount of $438,563. The DUI Officer will be dedicated to working DUI enforcement at night and during the weekends. The grant will fund overtime for the following traffic enforcement activities: enforcing speed limits, deterring aggressive driving, conducting DUI checkpoints, saturation patrols, motorcycle enforcement, and bicycle/pedestrian enforcement. This year, the grant is Report to Redding City Council February 14, 2024 Re: 4.9(a) --Ratify Office of Traffic Safety Grant Application Page 2 providing an opportunity for funding for community outreach and education. Overtime funding has been requested for officers to provide education to the citizens through RFD's Citizen's Academy and to hold "Coffee with a Cop" events. These operations will provide the opportunity for citizens to interact with RPD and to have a better understanding of how traffic issues impact the community. Additionally, funds have been requested for training, and checkpoint supplies as well as a traffic crash database system. This equipment will allow for the vehicle data to be downloaded to help determine causes of crashes and can help in prosecution. This is a one-year grant lasting from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025. Environmental Review Ratifying the grant application is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act, therefore, no further action is required at this time. Council Priority/City Manager Goals • Public Safety — "Work to improve all aspects of public safety to help people feel secure and safe where they live, work, and play in the City of Redding."

For General Grants, provide the Application Title and Application Description. Application Title: Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) Application Description: Best practice strategies will be conducted to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in crashes involving alcohol and other primary crash factors. The funded strategies may include impaired driving enforcement, enforcement operations focusing on primary crash factors, distracted driving, night-time seat belt enforcement, special enforcement operations encouraging motorcycle safety, enforcement and public awareness in areas with a high number of bicycle and pedestrian crashes, and educational programs. These strategies are designed to earn media attention thus enhancing the overall deterrent effect. Problem Statement Describe the problem(s) to be addressed by providing the following: 1. Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact. 2. Describe the problem(s) to addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats) 3. Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s). 4. Do not include state or national information. Application :: Page 1 of 21 Problem Statement: In calendar year of 2023, the Redding Police Department (RPD) became fully staffed with 122 sworn officers. Of these 122 sworn officers, 55 officers are assigned to the Field Operations Division and responsible for day to day patrol operations, to include proactive field enforcement. Of the 55 sworn patrol officers, over fifty percent are in the range of one to five years of patrol experience. RPD has always had an expectation of its sworn staff to conduct proactive enforcement within our community, specifically in the areas of traffic enforcement. With the expansion of new officer positions, the experience level and training in all areas of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) laws and enforcement, Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFST's), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), Drug Recognition Expert (DRE), collision investigation, lidar/radar and report writing is crucial. While increasing sworn staff, the increase for training budgets was minimal due to costs needed for immediate equipment, vehicles and other items for increasing staff. Training in these areas assist our newest sworn staff to be more informed, trained and ready to complete thorough and accurate reports for prosecution and court testimony. Currently RPD is working to establish a set of POST trainings to provide to our newest sworn staff, most of which are in the areas of traffic enforcement and traffic related investigations. While RPD is working with SHIELD, a Public Safety Training Center located in Redding, to schedule trainings in far northern portion of the state, it remains a challenge. With the challenge to find traffic related trainings in the local community, its crucial to send some of the sworn staff to other locations to receive these much needed and imperative trainings. The RPD Traffic Unit currently has four sworn officers, one community service officer and one parking enforcement officer. The primary job duty of the community service officer is to handle abandoned vehicle complaints throughout the city. The primary job duties of the parking enforcement officer are to enforce parking regulations throughout the City of Redding. The four Traffic Unit Officers and one Supervisor are responsible for the investigation of all major injury and fatal traffic collisions, special event planning, OTS grant coordination, field training new officers and community service officers and general traffic enforcement. This is the first time in numerous years that the Traffic Unit has been brought to full staffing including its non -sworn staff, however the Traffic Unit does not have a full time sworn officer for the purposes of DUI enforcement, which was a portion of the unit in years past. RPD has continued to build a close working relationship with allied law enforcement partners to include the Anderson Police Department, Shasta County Sheriff's Department, CHP -Redding and the Shasta County District Attorney's Office. These relationships allow a concerted effort to combat impaired driving on all of our community roadways, and assistance with major injury/fatal collision investigations. During the calendar year of 2023, the Traffic Unit responded to nine major injury/fatal traffic collisions. Of the nine investigated collisions, six involved intoxicated drivers, to include alcohol and/or narcotic substances. One of these collisions has led to a murder charge under the Watson Rule Admonishment, the second prosecution of this severity in recent years. Of these six collisions, two were solo vehicle collisions where the driver was killed as a result of the collision. In calendar year of 2022, the Traffic Unit responded to thirteen major injury/fatal traffic collisions, with only two involving driving under the influence of alcohol. In 2021, the Traffic Unit responded to eleven major injury/fatal traffic collision with only two involving intoxicated drivers. Application :: Page 2 of 21 Even though the major injury/fatal traffic collisions decreased in 2023, the number of drivers impaired by alcohol and/or drugs increased dramatically. In comparing the number of major injury/fatal traffic collisions from 2021 to 2023, the progress of reducing major injury/fatal traffic collisions can be viewed as being successful, however the increase of impaired drivers shows that there is a problem with impaired drivers on our local roadways. This increase in impaired drivers has also been found during day time traffic collisions, which are involving drivers being under the influence of narcotic substances and prescription medications. Through the 2020-21 grant cycle, RPD had one officer funded through the Office of Traffic Safety STEP Grant for DUI enforcement. The position was eliminated due to lack of grant funding and low staffing levels for the department. When the position was funded, the DUI Specialist was responsible for making 235 DUI arrests, while 223 arrests were made from Field Operations sworn personnel. During this time the DUI Specialist was responsible for proactive enforcement of impaired drivers, assisted with collision investigations involving impaired drivers, was involved with the attending "A Sobering Choice Coalition" meetings, and was the field training officer for new hired sworn personnel. Losing the grant funded DUI Specialist position has shown that the lack of continued proactive DUI enforcement leads to more impaired drivers and collisions involving impaired drivers. Since fiscal year of 2021-2022 the RPD has seen a decrease in the number of DUI arrests made and an increase in DUI related traffic collisions. It is the goal of RPD to increase the number of trained officers in the areas of impaired driving detection (DUI) and arrests to help reduce the number of DUI related collisions and deaths, as well as impaired drivers in the community. In 2022, Field Operations personnel were responsible for making 356 DUI arrests, compared to 345 arrests made in 2023. Of the DUI arrests made in 2022, 12 were for 23152(c), 42 for 23152(f), and 12 for 23152(g). In 2023, officers arrested 2 for 23152(c), 37 for 23152(f) and 4 for 23152(8). During 2023, a majority of the Field Operations personnel were busy training newly hired officers, with limited time focused on proactive enforcement efforts. During the 2023 year the overall DUI arrests decreased from 2022. The decrease of arrests involving drug impaired drivers could be contributed to new officers with minimal training or exposure to drug impaired drivers. In 2023, the Traffic Unit found an increase in drug impaired drivers involved in major injury/fatal traffic collisions. RPD continues to perform OTS funded overtime enforcement and have met a majority of the goals and objectives for the 2022-2023 grant period. It is anticipated that the all the goals for 2023-2024 will be met with the addition of officers. Currently, four traffic officers and one sergeant are responsible for investigating all major injury and fatal traffic collisions. In addition to those duties, the traffic unit and officers are responsible for planning all major special events for the City of Redding, OTS grant coordination, field training for all new hires, educational presentations throughout the community and general traffic enforcement. It is the primary goal of RPD Traffic Unit to reduce the number of fatal traffic collisions from the previous year, with the specific focus to lower the number of major injury / fatal collisions involving impaired drivers. RPD responded to a high call volume of 102,890 calls for service in 2023. Calls for service can impact and limit the time available for staff to conduct proactive traffic enforcement, specifically for impaired driving. Less proactive enforcement results in fewer DUI and traffic enforcement in areas that are prone to traffic collisions. A higher call volume also affects the ability for officers to respond to neighborhood speed complaints and deal with habitual traffic offenders. In order to obtain goals of lowering the major injury/fatal collisions, impaired driving, traffic collisions involving pedestrians, motorcyclists, and bicyclists, educating the public is a key and efficient too[. Currently, RPD interacts with its community members via Application :: Page 3 of 21 social media platforms and special interest group community meetings. RPD believes in working with the community to help solve problems, to include traffic complaints and concerns. While social media is a great way to help educate and inform the public and community members, the ability to talk with community members one on one and in person is more effective, and helps develop community trust and partnership. It is also important to complete thorough investigations and provide the best evidence for successful prosecutions involving major injury/fatal traffic collisions. Successful prosecutions on dangerous driving behaviors can be one factor in helping educating and changing dangerous driving behaviors. Currently, most of this evidence is from witness statements, video surveillance, toxicology reports, vehicle diagrams, photographs and scene diagrams. Vehicle speed, braking and pre -collision vehicle factors are just as vital in providing factual speeds and braking information, which are often major factors in most collisions. This information is found in digital format in a vast majority of vehicles on the roadway, in our community. In order to obtain this information special equipment and training is needed to obtain and interpret the information. Currently, the RPD Traffic Unit works with CHP MATT from the Northern Division to obtain evidentiary evidence stored in the Vehicle Airbag Modules, utilizing the Bosch CD -R 900 Kit. In order to obtain assistance from CHP MATT, a formal request has to be made via the administration, which could take several hours or days. Once the request for assistance is approved the next step is to provide CHP MATT copies of reports, photographs and videos to review. Upon providing this information CHP MATT provides a time that they are available, which can be within days or weeks. This availability is based on CHP MAIT's schedule and on-going investigations. While RPD is thankful for its partnership and working relationship with CHP MATT, the time frames to obtain this information can sometimes be detrimental to court proceedings. The best practice during investigations is to obtain evidence as soon as possible, and in order to prevent the loss of information/evidence or the ability to obtain this information/evidence. The Application :: Page 4 of 21 Traffic Unit could improve efficiency in collecting information by utilizing their own data collection tool.

Redding Police Officers are held to a strict policy of policing equitably and fairly. Redding Police Officers are required to receive mandated training from California Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST). RPD has a specific policy that addresses Bias Based Policing and officers are held accountable for their actions and expected to conduct enforcement and general policing in a fairly. It is RPD's mission to maintain this same accountability during any grant operation. Officers assigned to grant operations will be reminded of department policy regarding Bias Based Policing. Strategies: The Redding Police Department (RPD) will utilize all aspects of the anticipated OTS grant in a concerted effort to reduce traffic collisions and improve traffic safety within the City of Redding. RPD will continue to collaborate with the Anderson Police Department, Shasta County Sheriff's Office, and Redding area California Highway Patrol (CHP) by conducting highly visible DUI enforcements, DUI checkpoints, traffic enforcement operations, and public safety presentations. This would be in an effort to reduce the number of persons injured or killed in traffic collisions. These operations will be shared Application:: Page 5 of 21 through the social media platforms of RPD and other participating agencies. These operations can also be discussed with community members through "Coffee with a Cop" programs and Citizen Academies. The City of Anderson Police Department and Shasta County Sheriff's Department had received OTS STEP grants for the fiscal year 2022-2023. RPD worked with both Anderson Police Department, Shasta County Sheriff's Department and CHP -Redding to conduct four collaborative DUI Checkpoints in Anderson, Redding and City of Shasta Lake. Currently in this grant cycle, all agencies participated in collaborative DUI Saturation Patrols during the holiday season. RPD has mentored Anderson Police Department to get their traffic program up and running, including collision investigations, special event operations and traffic enforcement. RPD looks forward to working with our allied agencies in the areas of DUI and traffic enforcement and education, with the goal of reducing DUIs and traffic collisions within our communities. RPD is requesting funding for a full-time DUI officer. The addition of a DUI Specialist working nights, Wednesday through Saturday would be able to assist beat patrol officers by allowing them to handle calls for service in a timely manner and remain proactive in between calls. As an example, the DUI Specialist would be able to handle the DUI portion at the termination of a vehicle pursuit that involved a traffic collision. Additionally, the vast majority of our current patrol staff lack the training and time to conduct in depth DRE evaluations or complex DUI collision investigations. The DUI Specialist would be available on a call -out basis for any major injury/fatal traffic collision, or complex investigations. The DUI Specialist also would work closely with the Shasta County District Attorney's Office and be actively involved in the Victim Impact Panel. The Victim Impact Panel is a required attendance for any convicted impaired driver in Shasta County. The prior DUI Specialist was also DRE certified, a SFST instructor, field training officer, and was responsible for training new sworn officers in impaired driving. This is a required one-week training provided to all new sworn personnel and helps them gain experience and confidence to go forward and be proactive in impaired driving enforcement and arrests. DUI saturation patrols have become an essential function for RPD in an effort to combat DUI driving and collisions. Saturation patrols increase DUI patrol presence and can help deter DUI driving behaviors. DUI Saturation patrols could be utilized on nights that a DUI Specialist is not working or in support of the DUI specialist to create a more effective presence. Saturation patrols can also be used on planned special event nights to help with proactive enforcement. These operations are scheduled during City of Redding major events, Kool April Nites, Redding Rodeo, Freedom Festival and Big Bike Weekend. DUI Saturation Patrols are also utilized during holidays and major sporting events such as the Super Bowl. OTS funded DUI checkpoints are used in conjunction with saturation patrols, and conducted in areas throughout the City of Redding with high visibility and known DUI activity, and major injury/collision locations. Social media has been a proactive and important tool that is utilized by the RPD to assist in notifying, educating and informing the public the dangers of driving while intoxicated. While some of our checkpoints have resulted in DUI arrests and citations for unlicensed and suspended drivers, the true success of these checkpoints can be measured by the number of citizens that have been contacted and educated on the dangers of impaired driving in our community. Shasta County has continued to see a significant number of people who are failing to appear in court. These failures to appear create a backlog for the over -burdened judicial system, from officers having to issue offenders citations for a new court date or Application :: Page 6 of 21. transporting them to jail for booking. All of this creates an additional strain and burden on patrol and jail staff. Recently the Shasta County Sheriff's Department has added additional jail space allowing for offenders to be held in custody. A pre-existing program for apprehending chronic offenders has been re-established and could be utilized for holding repeat DUI offenders or serious traffic offenders accountable. Warrant sweeps and surveillance operations provide additional overtime to assign officers to locate violators who are failing to appear. This is effective because officers can work hours when violators are most likely to be found at their residences. The warrant sweep and surveillance operations are publicized through RPD social media platforms, and can encourage violators to appear in court as required. Warrant sweeps and court sting operations work hand in hand to ensure the follow through of those facing DUI or driving on suspended license charges. During the recent 2023-2024 grant cycle, RPD has received funds for warrant sweeps, which is currently being planned. With months of ideal motorcycle riding weather, during both day and night, and miles of scenic roadways, Redding has a large number of motorcycle enthusiasts. Each year the City of Redding sees a large number of motorcycle riders utilizing the roadways within the city. It is the goal of RPD to support safe motorcycle operations by enforcing traffic laws related to motorcycles and promote driver awareness regarding sharing the road with motorcycles. During the past OTS grant cycle, RPD had an increase in motorcycle collisions and fatalities. In 2020 RPD was ranked 3 of 106 in collision involving motorcycles, and ranked 1 of 105 in 2021. With an increase in major injury / fatal traffic collisions, RPD will utilize overtime along with patrol staffing to focus on traffic enforcement efforts focused on motorcycles and reducing the amount of collisions. With the recent addition of two additional motorcycle officers, the current RPD Traffic Unit consists of four officers, and one supervisor and will be able to focus on enforcement as a team throughout the City of Redding. RPD would also look to include collaborative enforcement with allied agencies, as well as use social media to publicize these enforcement details and provide education regarding awareness during state and nationwide traffic safety specific campaigns. This multi -facetted approach includes education through enforcement, education through social media and education through high visibility. Distracted driving continues to be an ongoing issue with drivers in our community, including new drivers. RPD would like to continue aggressive enforcement of distracted driving during the next cycle. These enforcement details would be in the form of individual details and highly visible team efforts. Knowing that social media is the new form of receiving and relaying information, RPD has a proactive social media team, which the traffic supervisor and one traffic officer are a part of. These distracted driving details and educational material regarding distracted driving would be published through social media platforms. The RPD Traffic Unit is working with School Resource Officers to do presentations in local high schools to help educate teenage drivers on the dangers of driving while distracted, with the ultimate goal of educating the younger drivers and preventing collisions. RPD has relied on OTS funding to assist in sending officers to critically important training such as DRE, ARIDE and SFST trainings. These trainings are vital to the agency and to the OTS grant operations in keeping veteran officers qualified and providing new officers with the tools necessary to conduct DUI investigations, and using up to date best practice procedures for successful prosecutions. This past year the RPD has hired over 30 new officers, many of them being from POST academies. These newer officers will need additional training in areas of SFST, ARIDE and DRE, beyond what they received in the POST academy and field training. This will assist them with traffic enforcement, DUI detection, enforcement and investigations. Having proficiently Application :: Page 7 of 21. trained officers in these areas will assist the RPD in actively working towards lowering the number of DUI related collisions and fatal accidents in the City of Redding. Officers who have attended these trainings typically return with enthusiasm and use the training effectively in the areas of DUI enforcement. Many of the new officers in the RPD are looking to have advanced training in DUI and DRE. It has remained the goal of the RPD to have a DRE certified officer available on patrol shifts. RPD has been actively recruiting from our newest patrol staff for DRE positions. We recently have several officers that have been interested in this role and have established a list for the DRE certification. This will assist in combating the recent rise in DUI cases that involve narcotic substances and combination DUI's. The RPD Traffic Unit plans on sending two of the four assigned officers to SFST instructor school. Having two certified SFST instructors will allow the RPD to host SFST/ARIDE training locally for the agency and the allied agencies in the area. Recently, the SHIELD Training facility was established and provides a location for trainings to occur for public safety agencies. The SHIELD facility is sponsored by Shasta College and is a local training consortium. RPD has hosted recent POST approved classes through the SHIELD for allied agencies. RPD currently maintains a POST approved SFST lesson plan and has had two prior SFST instructors, who are no longer with the department. RPD is requesting funding to purchase a Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) system. This past OTS grant cycle, the RPD Traffic Unit was responsible for handling nine major injury/fatal traffic collisions within in the City of Redding. Of these nine cases, three of them involved speed as a factor. Of those three cases two have a possible prosecutable factor due to the speed, along with intoxication. Recently the RPD Traffic Unit has been requesting the assistance from CHP Northern Division MATT in conducting vehicle Crash Data Retrieval (CDR). This process is done by utilizing the Bosch CDR Tool, which is commonly used for major injury and/or fatal traffic collisions. This tool allows crash data obtained during an event such as an airbag deployment, change of speed during an event, driver input and other factors pre -collision, during and post collision. Of this information that is obtained further information such as impact severity, steering input, accelerator input, ignition status and seatbelt status. Some of this information is crucial in collision investigations, when trying to identify injuries, use of safety equipment and pre, at and post collision vehicular mechanics. With the current change in vehicle technology, the majority of vehicles are now equipped with an anti-lock braking (ABS) system. For years, collision investigations would rely on vehicle skid marks for speed calculations, and now with the invention of ABS systems, skid marks are often times not present in major collision scenes. The pre -collision data that could be obtained from the Bosch tool could also be used to judge the accuracy of speed calculations that were obtained from physical evidence that was obtained on scene such as skid marks. The Bosch CDR Tool can also be utilized in collisions that have no witnesses or survivors. The RPD Traffic Unit had recently worked a single vehicle fatal traffic collision where speed was an obvious factor, and if having been able to utilize this tool, things such as the driver's pre -collision input and speed would have been documented for this collision. Information that has been obtained from CDR data has been deemed admissible as evidence in court cases, however physical evidence, and contextual information must be utilized as well in court to prove reliability. This requirement of further evidence will provide traffic officers to continue to use all knowledge and tools in collision Application :: Page 8 of 21 investigations available to them to provide an in-depth investigation. This will continue through the court process and provide officers the ability to testify to all factors in collision investigations that would be prudent for successful prosecutions. A goal of the RPD Traffic Unit is to conduct thorough and consistent collision investigations, utilizing all tools necessary to provide a prosecutable case should it rise to that level. The RPD Traffic Unit works closely with the Shasta County District Attorney's Office and prosecutors on all major injury and fatal DUI related collisions that have potential for prosecution. It is RPD's goal to provide all evidence necessary in these investigations, and the use of the Bosch CDR Tool would allow us to obtain speed which has been a consistent factor with most recent collision investigations involving major injuries and fatalities. RPD recognizes the importance of working with allied agencies such as CHP in the areas of enforcement and investigations, and are thankful for their assistance, however each request for this tool requires an approval from CHP MATT command staff. If the assistance is approved, we are then tasked with scheduling around their on-going case investigations and availability. By having our own Bosch CDR Tool, the RPD Traffic Unit will be able to work major injury / fatal traffic collisions in a timely fashion. The Redding Police Traffic Unit would rely on CHP MATT at times for questions and best practices, as it would relate in the effective use of the Bosch CDR Tool. It is believed that by providing necessary evidence in some collision cases, the RPD and Shasta County District Attorney's Office can better utilize the justice system to help hold serious offenders accountable in collision investigations. This accountability can also be perceived by the community as educational in the fact that prosecution is a function of accountability, and that accountability can sometimes change behaviors. In the realm of collision investigations, the goal for RPD is to reduce the number of collisions involving speed, DUI and distracted driving. Bosch is an American corporation and qualifies under the Buy American Act. This tool is utilized by several law enforcement agencies through Application :: Page 9 of 21 the State of California and the United States. Agency Qualifications: Moving into the 2024-2025 grant cycle, the RPD looks forward to its continued partnership with the California Office of Traffic Safety. RPD utilizes a Management Analyst and Traffic Sergeant to execute and monitor the STEP grant to ensure grant goals are met while effectively utilizing grant money to fund traffic enforcement overtime and purchase necessary equipment. Patrol personnel, both sworn and non -sworn, work hard to complete, and in many instances exceed, all of the grant objectives in addition to their regular duties and other overtime responsibilities. The Traffic Sergeant will continue to oversee the OTS STEP grant. The Traffic Sergeant is responsible for the day to day operations, press releases and social media posts. Additionally, they oversee collision investigations and grant activities. The sergeant also coordinates with other allied agencies to include the Anderson Police Department, Shasta County Sheriff's Office, CHP and non-profit organizations that share similar goals with OTS. This will be the Traffic Sergeants fourth year managing the OTS grant. The Traffic Sergeant has received extensive training regarding the expectations and requirements in managing OTS grants. The RPD Management Analyst has over 25 years of experience working for the City of Redding managing various grants. She currently oversees the 2023-2024 OTS STEP grant. She has attended several OTS grant meetings and familiar with the OTS grant expectations and requirements. All RPD personnel and volunteers have a comprehensive background check conducted before they participate in any department activities. Community Collaboration and Engagement Provide a description of the community collaboration and engagement activities that will be conducted by your department and addresses traffic safety. Community collaboration and engagement allows for the appropriate department personnel to engage in conversations to both share information and receive input from the community members regarding traffic safety. Application :: Page 10 of 21 Community Collaboration and Engagement: RPD believes in a positive, proactive and working relationship with its community members and business owners. This relationship is crucial to help maintain working relationships, and keep the community safe. It has been the goal of RPD to create a program that helps build positive relationships, transparency, create better communications and trust from the community. One way to establish this relationship is to involve community members with a Citizens Academy. RPD has created a nine -week program that will involve twenty community members that have expressed interest in the program. Each weekly program will be a three-hour block in which the citizen group of twenty will be educated on a division or program of the RPD. These blocks of training will include topics such as Traffic Operations. The twenty -person citizens group will be informed on the day to day operations of traffic officers, collision investigations, Impaired Driving Investigations, traffic enforcement stops. During this block two officers will discuss the policies, laws and procedures with the citizens group, as well as engage the group in educational discussions on these topics. The goal of these engagements is to help the community members understand the role of law enforcement and the steps and procedures conducted in traffic stops, DUI investigations and collision investigations. Other class blocks will include Law Enforcement Operations, Investigations, SWAT, and Community Policing. These are just a few examples of the program that is intended to engage community members with members of RPD, to create discussion and education. These classes will also provide educational material to the involved members, to include reading material and informational aides. The staffing for these instructional blocks is being done on overtime with two to three sworn personnel responsible for each instructional block. Given the population size of the City of Redding and the time commitment needed to attend a nine -week citizen academy, many community members will not be able to participate. Events such as "Coffee with a Cop" can be utilized as another way to connect with some of these community members as well. These events are also important and allow the community to interact with sworn personnel of the RPD, and engage in conversation on topics that are driven by community members, such as neighborhood complaints, traffic complaints, concerns, and community goals. During these events sworn personnel can interact with the community outside of an instructional, more formal setting. These events can also be held at local coffee businesses throughout the City of Redding that will also engage our local business owners and members. RPD will utilize social media platforms to recognize these events and promote the programs and events. Social media will also be used to share the topics and educate the public on the individual events and topics of discussion. By using social media, it could create further community member involvement, and create a long standing educational and interactive program.
