Santa Monica has a residential population of 92,472 in addition to being a business, entertainment, shopping and international tourist destination. Tourists, shoppers, Santa Monica College students and employees at local businesses significantly boost the daytime population to an estimated 250,000 people. The City is situated on the west side of Los Angeles County, approximately 16 miles from downtown Los Angeles. It is -bordered by the City of Los Angeles on three sides and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Santa Monica is one of the most densely populated areas in California. The Santa Monica Police Department employs 201 sworn and 253 civilian personnel as of February 2016, The Santa Monica Police Department executive leadership includes the Chief of Police, one Deputy Chief, and three Police Captains. The Deputy Chief oversees the three Captains who each oversee one of the three divisions that make up the Department: Operations, Criminal Investigations, and Strategic Services, The Police Department provides a full range of services and special details, including a K-9 unit, homeless liaison program unit, traffic enforcement unit, harbor unit, animal regulation unit and bicycle patrol unit, all in an effort to be innovative and work together to create adaptive solutions with the community and public safety partners. The core mission of the Santa Monica PD is the prevention and reduction of crime. This includes implementing effective strategies to reduce the illegal purchasing and distribution of alcoholic beverages. Santa Monica PD is requesting $56,114 in 2016- 2017 ABC grant funding to enhance our current efforts. The goals of the program are to: 1. Reduce underage access to alcohol; 2. Reduce access to alcohol by chronic inebriants; 3. Expand targeted law enforcement operations to address alcohol-related crime; 4. Raise public awareness about the problem through education for merchants as well as the community. Education and training not only helps businesses and the community better understand their responsibilities, but also provides them with the tools and knowledge they need to promote reasonable consumption and contribute to making communities safer. Alcohol Licenses in City of Santa Monica On Sale: 279 Off Sale: 67 TOTAL.: 346 Santa Monica PD continues to have one of the highest ratios of establishments to population in the state. Exhibit A Major community concerns and factors contributing to those concerns in Santa Monica include the following: one of the highest ratios of alcohol establishments to population in California; reportedly easy access to alcohol by youth in the community; high rates of alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes; high rates of alcohol-related death in comparison to all Los Angeles County communities; and ongoing problems related to inebriation among the transient population. The City of Santa Monica has seen a notable increase in the calls for service for public intoxication in Santa Monica. Calls for service for public intoxication in Santa Monica increased by 14,81% from 2009 to 2015. Specific problem locations include the downtown area as well as Main Street in Santa Monica. In a study prepared by the Institute for Public Strategies for the Westside Impact Project in 2012, the report notes that excessive alcohol consumption costs LA County $10.8 billion annually-- roughly $1,000 per resident. Los Angeles County's latest public health report ranked Santa Monica 8th highest out of the county's 117 communities for its rate of alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes, and Santa Monica's rates of alcohol-related crime and alcohol-related death were severe enough to be ranked "high" in comparison to all Los Angeles County communities. The problem extends to Santa Monica's youth in that 75% of Santa Monica High School 11th grade students report that alcohol is "very easy" or "fairly easy" to get. In addition, 43% of Santa Monica High School 11th grade students report having had a drink in the past 30 days. Also, a full 26% of these students report binge drinking (5 or more drinks at once) in the past 30 days. The City of Santa Monica has 346 active ABC licenses, with 279 being on -sale and 67 being off -sale. One of the factors contributing to problem retail outlets is that liquor establishments tend to have a high turnover of employees; therefore, merchant education needs to be continued on an on-going basis. Exhibit A PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD) and' the California Alcohol and Beverage Control agency (ABC) have been working together for over a decade to provide multi -faceted educational and enforcement programs. With the 2016-17 ABC grant opportunity, SMPD looks to continue that approach with a focus on identifying and targeting problematic ABC licensed establishments; reducing the availability of alcoholic beverages to and the consumption of them by underage persons and chronic inebriants; and identifying those who furnish alcohol to minors. 2015-2016 ABC grant funds would support targeted operations including Minor Decoy and Shoulder Tap programs, undercover operations, and Trap Door operations; as well as, education and training via the LEAD (Licensee Education on Alcohol and Drugs) program and IMPACT inspections (Informed Merchants Preventing Alcohol - Related Crime Tendencies). These strategies are crucial to stemming the problem. At the completion of this grant, the Santa Monica Police Department would continue its efforts in education and enforcement of businesses and community members on the issue of illegal purchasing and distribution of alcoholic beverages. Goals and Objectives; • Issue 5 press releases regarding the grant and/or the activities conducted under the grant, where appropriate, to increase public awareness. • Conduct 3 roll call training, sessions for all sworn personnel. • Schedule and coordinate 1 LEAD class, • Coordinate and conduct 40 IMPACT Operations. • Identify and target problematic ABC licensed establishments. • Conduct 10 minor decoy operations.. • Conduct 5 "Shoulder Tap" operations. • Conduct 5 "Trap Door" operations.

Grant activities will primarily be carried out by the Narcotics sergeant and the two Vice Officers, The Vice/Narcotics Unit has experience partnering with the ABC grant program and the ABC mini grant program. Additional Santa Monica police officers from other units may also be used, as appropriate, potentially including officers from the Homeless Liaison Program Unit, Gang & Youth Intervention Unit and the Youth Services Unit. In the implementation of this program, the Santa Monica Police Department may also use volunteers to assist. Volunteers will be utilized during shoulder tap and minor decoy operations.
