CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The Reimagining Public Safety (RPS) initiative is a Strategic Plan Priority Project, advancing Berkeley's goal of creating a resilient, safe, connected, and prepared city.
This initiative is being implemented in three distinct phases, focusing on equitable and community-centered public safety transformation:
Phase 1 (2020-2022) Community Process and Research
Phase 2 (2022-2024) Continued Analysis and Implementation Phase 3 (2024-2026) Continued Implementation and Expansion Phase 1 (2020-2022): Community Process and Research
On July 14, 2020, the City Council adopted an omnibus package to reimagine public safety and policing in Berkeley. This phase focused on engaging the community and conducting research to set the groundwork for future public safety reforms. Key actions included:
Community/Consultant Engagement: Partnering with experts to develop an equitable, community-focused safety model.
Reimagining Public Safety Status Report ACTION CALENDAR October 29, 2024
Specialized Care Unit (SCU) Development: Initiating a pilot program to reassign non-criminal police service calls to a Specialized Care Unit. Community Crisis Response (CCR) Bridge Services: Providing interim crisis support services while the SCU program was being developed. Priority Dispatch: Developing dispatch models to route specific calls to alternative responders, including the possibility of transitioning some functions to the Fire Department or other entities.
City Auditor Review: Conducting an analysis of emergency call data and the police budget.
Fair and Impartial Policing: Implementing policies to ensure fairness and equity in policing.
BerkDOT Development: Planning for the creation of a Berkeley Department of Transportation (BerkDOT) to handle traffic enforcement with a focus on racial justice.
Violence Intervention Program: Expanding violence prevention efforts through targeted programs.
Following the adoption of the omnibus package, a multi-departmental working group was formed to guide implementation, including representatives from the City Manager's Office, Police, Fire, HHCS, Public Works, and the City Attorney’s Office.
In January 2021, the Reimagining Public Safety Task Force was established to gather community input and provide strategic direction. The Task Force played a key role in shaping the transition to Phase 2 by integrating feedback from community members and experts.
Phase 2 (2022-2024): Continued Analysis and Implementation Phase 2 focused on further analysis and the implementation of recommendations from Phase 1. Key components of this phase included:
Staffing Investments: Funding positions in HHCS, Police, Public Works, and the City Manager’s Office to support the initiative’s priority recommendations. Consultant Support: Engaging consultants to evaluate dispatch needs, crisis response models, staffing, beat structures, and BerkDOT development. Community Investments: Directing resources toward violence prevention, mental health services, and support for individuals affected by gender-based violence.
This phase emphasized ongoing collaboration across departments and community groups to ensure that the City's goals were met. Remaining tasks from Phase 2 will be carried into Phase 3.
Reimagining Public Safety Status Report ACTION CALENDAR October 29, 2024
Phase 3 (2024-2026): Continued Implementation and Expansion Phase 3 will continue the implementation of key public safety strategies, expanding efforts to address the community’s needs and solidify reforms. Key priorities include:
Staffing Investments: Continuing to support essential departments with new positions focused on diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), Vision Zero, crisis response, and sustaining Community Service Officer (CSO) and dispatch functions.
Consultant Support: Funding efforts to expand Vision Zero, increase grant assistance, and conduct public outreach and education related to the Reimagining Public Safety initiative.
Community Investments: Maintaining and expanding investments in violence prevention, community engagement, mental health services, and support for individuals impacted by violence.
This phase will build on the progress made in earlier phases, ensuring the City’s public safety model remains effective, efficient, and responsive to the needs of the community.
BACKGROUND
In 2020, the United States experienced a pivotal shift in the public safety dialogue, driven by events that exposed a significant erosion of trust in law enforcement, particularly within marginalized communities. The deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and others highlighted the critical need to address systemic inequalities and to fundamentally rethink public safety principles. In response, on June 6, 2020, over 7,000 Berkeley residents marched to demand meaningful changes in law enforcement practices.
Recognizing its responsibility in this pivotal moment, the City of Berkeley embarked on an extensive initiative to Reimagine Public Safety.
The following provides a chronology of the City of Berkeley’s systemic actions in its initiative to Reimagine Public Safety, and includes key dates and context related to progress with Berkeley Police Department’s Staffing Assessment:
On July 14, 2020, the City Council passed Resolution No. 69,501-N.S., outlining a new public safety paradigm and initiating a robust community engagement process for transformative change.
On December 15, 2020, the City Council authorized the City Manager to contract with the National Institute of Criminal Justice Reform (NICJR) to conduct research, analysis, and develop reports and recommendations for community safety and police reform. This included leading an inclusive and transparent community engagement process to achieve a transformative model of positive, equitable, and community-centered safety for Berkeley.
Reimagining Public Safety Status Report ACTION CALENDAR October 29, 2024
On January 19, 2021, the City Council adopted revisions to the enabling legislation for the Reimagining Public Safety Task Force. The Task Force's work focused on providing input and making recommendations to NICJR and City Staff on a set of proposed programs, structures, and initiatives for a final report and implementation plan to guide future budget decisions.
On March 3, 2022, the City Auditor issued a report titled "Berkeley Police:
Improvements Needed to Manage Overtime and Security Work for Outside Entities," recommending a study of Berkeley Police Department (BPD) staffing.
On March 10, 2022, the culmination of research analysis, and community dialogue was manifested in the comprehensive reports from NICJR, the Reimagining Public Safety Task Force, and Resource Development Associates work on the Specialized Care Unit (SCU) design. These reports provided an overview of recommended programs, structural changes, and new initiatives aimed at creating a community-centric safety paradigm, embodying the principles of Reduce, Improve, and Reinvest.
On April 21, 2022, the City Manager and Staff presented a report to the City Council detailing the achievements of Phase 1 of the Reimagining Public Safety initiative. This included proposals for transforming Berkeley’s police force, enhancing priority dispatch, developing BerkDOT, and establishing an SCU, alongside budget recommendations for these initiatives.
On May 5, 2022, a special council meeting led to the formal adoption of the Mayor's framework for continuing the Reimagining Public Safety initiative. This framework was the culmination of years of diligent work from community members, officials and staff.
The key decisions made were as follows:
1. Refer up to $5.3 Million to the FY 2023-2024 Budget Process for staff and/or consulting services and community investments to complete the Priority Reimagining Public Safety Initiatives.
2. Direct the City Manager to prioritize over the next two years the programmatic recommendations for Phase 1 of Reimagining Implementation.
3. Direct the City Manager to initiate a design process for an innovative and comprehensive public safety agency or Department of Community Safety within the City of Berkeley administration and return with recommendations to the City Council by May 2024 to align with the FY 25-26 Biennial Budget process.
4. Except where resources may allow for expedited implementation, refer additional reforms to the FY 2025-2026 Biennial Budget.
On June 28, 2022, the City Council adopted the FY 2023-2024 City budget, which included key Tier 1 items from the Reimagining Public Safety initiative. Funding of $70,000 was also approved to assess police staffing and alternative responses.
Reimagining Public Safety Status Report ACTION CALENDAR October 29, 2024
On October 11, 2022, the City Council approved the invitation to bid on a comprehensive staffing workload and organizational study for the Berkeley Police Department.
On December 7, 2022, the City of Berkeley issued a request for proposals (RFP) to study BPD staffing and make recommendations to optimize police resources.
On June 27, 2023, the City Council authorized (Resolution No. 70,910-NS) the City Manager to execute a contract with Citygate Associates, LLC for a staffing and workload study from June 2023 to June 2024, with a contract value not to exceed $200,000.
On January 23, 2024, the City Manager and Staff delivered a detailed status update on the Reimagining Public Safety initiative, outlining its progress, the leadership team driving this effort, and the advances made in key initiatives. This update also addressed the challenges and considerations that have impacted the progress of the initiative.
Additionally, a comprehensive presentation on the proposed framework for the Gun Violence Intervention and Prevention Program was presented and subsequently adopted by the City Council.
On May 14, 2024, a second update was delivered by the City Manager and staff, outlining progress on the Reimagining Public Safety initiative. This update also included budget recommendations for the FY 2025-2026 biennial budget process, which were under consideration as part of Phase 3.
On June 25, 2024, the City Council adopted the FY 2025-2026 budget, which included Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 items from the Reimagining Public Safety initiative.
On September 4, 2024, the Citygate Staffing Assessment report was completed and shared publicly. The 147-page report included 74 key findings and 54 actionable recommendations. The Berkeley Police Department's leadership team reviewed the report to assess the opportunities and challenges highlighted and to develop plans for implementation where appropriate across the department.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This section provides an overview of Berkeley’s work towards Reimagining Public Safety, highlighting key milestones and the City’s commitment to creating an equitable and effective model for all residents.
4 Page | R e i m a g i n i n g P u b l i c S a f e t y S t a t u s R e p o r t Introduction
Reimagining Public Safety in the City of Berkeley aims to foster an equitable, holistic, and community- centered approach to safety, transforming traditional public safety models to prioritize health, wellness, and security for all residents. Through a collaborative, multidisciplinary strategy, it seeks to reshape the scope of a traditional police-centered model, address systemic inequities, and enhance community trust and well- being. By reinvesting in health, education, and social services, and introducing alternatives to traditional enforcement, the initiative aspires to establish a sustainable, inclusive public safety system that effectively serves the diverse needs of the community.
This initiative involves a comprehensive and inclusive process that unfolds in three main phases:
• Phase 1 (2020-2022) Community Process and Research. Phase 1 of the City of Berkeley's Reimagining Public Safety initiative, the City Council adopted critical resolutions to transform public safety through extensive community engagement and research, guided by the expertise of the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform and the input of the Reimagining Public Safety Task Force. This phase was characterized by partnerships and collaborations aimed at developing a new paradigm of community-centered safety, with a focus on equity and inclusivity, and informed by comprehensive community dialogue and expert analysis. The culmination of these efforts was presented in a series of reports and recommendations that laid the groundwork for transforming Berkeley's approach to public safety, emphasizing the principles of reimagine, improve, and reinvest to address the community's diverse needs.
• Phase 2 (2022-2024) Continued Analysis and Implementation. Phase 2 focused on putting the conceptual framework developed during Phase 1 into practice, marked by the continuation of analytical work and the beginning of implementation efforts. This phase involves significant staffing investments across various city departments, consulting for critical assessments, and community investments aimed at strengthening resilience through various support and engagement programs.
An integrated and interdepartmental approach ensures that all efforts are cohesive and aligned with the City Council's directives, leveraging partnerships and collaborations to inform and guide the work towards a community-centric safety model.
• Phase 3 (2024-2026) Continued Implementation and Expansion. Phase 3 of the Reimagining Public Safety initiative in Berkeley is set to focus on the expansion and further implementation of the strategies developed in earlier phases, aiming to solidify a comprehensive and responsive public safety model. This third phase is dedicated to broadening the scope of the initiatives to more thoroughly incorporate and address the varied needs of the Berkeley community. The objective is to establish a public safety framework that is both effective and reflective of the community's diversity, ensuring resilience and inclusivity in its approach to safety and well-being. Prior direction is incorporated, but also amended, as needed to align with current fiscal circumstances.

Phased Deliverables & Status Updates
10 Page | R e i m a g i n i n g P u b l i c S a f e t y S t a t u s R e p o r t Considerations
As highlighted in previous status reports,
Berkeley's Reimagining Public Safety initiative
has encountered several interconnected
challenges that may impact its overall direction,
effectiveness, and timeline. Addressing these
challenges is essential to ensure the initiative
fulfills its vision of creating a safer, more
equitable community while remaining compliant,
sustainable, and resilient.
Ongoing Funding
The City of Berkeley made significant financial
commitments to the Reimagining Public Safety
(RPS) initiative for Fiscal Years 2023 and 2024.
However, due to fiscal constraints, the FY
2025-26 Biennial Budget was adopted with a
tiered funding approach, deferring many RPS-
related budget requests (See Appendix B for
Fiscal Summary). Key RPS items were
postponed to the next budget cycle, aligning
with Phase 4 (FY 2027-28), or placed in lower
tiers based on funding availability. These
decisions may cause delays and uncertainties in
implementing components of the initiative.
Additionally, the unpredictable nature of
securing competitive grants and shifting budget
priorities further complicates long-term financial
planning. This funding structure reflects the
current fiscal environment, requiring the City to
prioritize initiatives across departments while
pursuing alternative revenue sources, exploring
additional grants, and reassessing available
resources to support RPS goals.
Implementation Timeline
The initiative is an ambitious, multi-phase
undertaking with a projected timeline of 3-5
years for full implementation. However, several
budget deferrals and the adoption of a tiered
funding approach in the FY 2025-26 Biennial
Budget may impact the original timeline,
particularly as key initiatives have been pushed
to Phase 4 (FY 2027-28) or placed in lower
funding tiers. Legislative changes, budget
constraints, and other unforeseen challenges
may further affect the timeline.
Vacancies and Attrition
From 2018 to 2022, the City of Berkeley
observed a concerning attrition trend, with
departures exceeding hires. Although hiring has
improved, the previous staffing shortages
affected service delivery and created challenges
for the Reimagining Public Safety initiative. The
reduction in staff required departments to
adjust operations and manage costs, while the
loss of institutional knowledge further impacted
efficiency. A stable and dedicated workforce is
crucial to keeping the initiative on track with
the City Council's goals for timeline, scope, and
budget. Addressing staffing challenges in key
departments is essential for Berkeley's public
safety objectives, underscoring the importance
of the Employer of Choice (EOC) initiative to
strengthen recruitment and retention efforts.
Regulatory Compliance
As Berkeley advances its initiatives, a
comprehensive approach to regulatory
compliance is crucial for success. Aligning with
federal laws helps avoid legal risks and ensures
adherence to regulations. Meeting federal
standards is also key for securing grants and
maintaining national partnerships that support
city programs. At the state level, navigating
California’s regulatory landscape requires
ongoing updates to ensure legal compliance.
Locally, adherence to Berkeley’s municipal code,
ordinances, and by-laws ensures that
departments operate within established
guidelines. This multi-level regulatory
framework is essential to the success and long-
term goals of the city's initiatives.
11 Page | R e i m a g i n i n g P u b l i c S a f e t y S t a t u s R e p o r t Next Steps
As Berkeley continues to advance the Reimagining Public Safety (RPS) initiative, a holistic approach driven by the principles of Reimagine, Improve, and Reinvest guides efforts to create a safer, more equitable public safety system through targeted investments in staffing, expert consultation, and community violence prevention.
Key Focus Areas:
• Staffing: Addressing shortages through the Employer of Choice (EOC) initiative is critical for maintaining momentum in key public safety departments and ensuring alignment with City Council goals.
• Consultant Expertise: Engaging field experts will help refine strategies, providing data -driven insights that enhance the effectiveness of the City’s public safety efforts. • Community Investments: The City is reinvesting in violence prevention programs, particularly for youth, to address root causes and create long -term solutions that strengthen community safety.
Legislative and Budgetary Efforts:
City leaders are advancing the BerkDOT agenda and expanding DEI and violence prevention programs.
With many initiatives deferred to Phase 4 (FY 2027-2028), the City is exploring alternative funding sources and grants to support these goals.
Next Status Update:
The Spring 2025 update will focus on progress in dispatch services and the next steps related to the Specialized Care Unit. The City remains committed to a community -centered approach, prioritizing compassion, equity, and transparency in its public safety reforms.

Department Lead: City Manager’s Office
Status Update: Initial Hiring Complete
Overview:
In Phase 2, the City of Berkeley established the Assistant to the City Manager (AtoCM) position to serve as the Reimagining Public Safety Project Coordinator, leading the efforts of this critical initiative.
Since assuming this role, the Assistant to the City Manager has facilitated substantial collaboration with key departments, including Police, Fire, Health, Housing and Community Services, Public Works, and the City Attorney’s Office. This collaboration has been instrumental in developing the Reimagining Public Safety Coordination Plan (Appendix A for the Updated RPS Coordination Plan).

critical areas, detailed within this report,
exemplify the City’s comprehensive
approach to reimagining public safety.
As the City transitions into Phase 3 of the
initiative, efforts are focused on the strategic
continuation of this essential work. Phase 3
will place an increased emphasis on
amplifying public education, marketing, and
other campaign efforts to enhance
community engagement and transparency.

OFFICE OF DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION (ODEI)
Department Lead: City Manager’s Office
Status Update: Initial Hiring Complete
Overview:
Supported by the City Council and the Reimagining Public Safety Task Force, the City Manager's Office has launched a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Officer position as part of Phase 2 implementation.
As highlighted in the RPS Status Updates, the DEI Officer, working within the City Manager’s Office, leads the DEI Division, aiming to integrate anti-racism, equity, and justice into the City's framework, address disparities, and strengthen community partnerships. The overarching goal is for City departments to evolve into entities that are responsive and accountable to the diverse communities they serve.
The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion works to foster an environment of mutual respect, equity, and inclusion in serving Berkeley’s diverse population. Its efforts align the Citywide Survey data collection with the Berkeley City Council’s legislation. This work contributes to building a better government that enhances equity, informed by the City Council's municipal legislation and the work of the Reimagining Public Safety Task Force in collaboration with the City’s contractors, the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform and Bright Research1.
The insights from the Community Survey, along with the Reimagining Public Safety (RPS) Taskforce's recommendations, have been crucial resources for our team as we advance diversity, equity, and inclusion policy. The Reimagining Public Safety Task Force (RPSTF) explains in detail the Berkeley City Council’s municipal legislative intent to serve Berkeley people in a broadly inclusive and equitable manner in order to expand a narrow Citywide Survey that the National Institute of Criminal Justice Reform and Bright Research originally presented with only the African American and then Latinx demographics.
The DEI Officer’s responsibilities encompass overseeing the division’s multifaceted actives and operations, including but not limited to:
• Strategic Development and Policy Administration: The DEI Officer directs the strategic planning and policy development for the DEI Division, ensuring they reflect the City's DEI goals and facilitate long-term change. This role involves aligning divisional efforts across departments for unified city-wide training and professional growth.
• Inclusive Visionary Leadership: The DEI Officer enhances inclusivity by collaborating with city and community leaders, aligning diversity and inclusion initiatives with the City's broader objectives.
They lead strategic planning in diversity and inclusion, evaluating progress and implementing strategies that support the City’s commitment to an inclusive and equitable community.

Also, in the past year, our Berkeley Police Department (BPD) has worked to build an LGBTQ+ Liaison Program to assist in implementing new initiatives focused on community outreach and collaboration within the City. Part of this implementation assists the BPD in updating and ensuring that our agency’s policies are inclusive and supportive of our LGBTQ+ individuals, providing updated training to all employees on LGBTQ+ awareness, terminology, and cultural competency, ensuring that all are informed and respectful in interactions with each other and community contacts.
During this phase, the DEI Officer has engaged extensively with a broad spectrum of stakeholders, including City Departments, boards, commissions, and community-based organizations, demonstrating a commitment to incorporating diverse perspectives and insights. This period of active engagement and strategic personnel planning marks a critical advancement towards establishing a comprehensive Office of Diversity Equity and Inclusion.
As the City continues to advance into Phase 3 of the initiative, staff recommendations highlight the need for the following key roles to further equity efforts:
• Supplier Diversity Specialist: This role will monitor and track performance metrics and comply with federal requirements to secure ongoing federal funding.
• Language Equity & Universal Access Program Lead: This role will champion language equity, universal access, and belonging across all facets of citywide decision-making, programming, and services, identifying service gaps and eliminating disparities.

Considerations:
• Staff Capacity for Regulatory Compliance: New ordinances and policy initiatives by the City Council and commissions require substantial time of city department staff and the City Attorney’s Office (CAO). The CAO also defends legal challenges to DEI programs, underlining the need for a robust compliance framework that meets federal mandates and ensures initiatives comply with regulatory standards.
• Data Collection: A shared protocol for collecting employee satisfaction and DEI data between HR and the ODEI is yet to be established. Utilizing EEOC workforce data could inform DEI retention strategies and assess DEI staffing needs, enhancing communication and transparency.
Collaboration on this effort remains a pending assignment. • Ongoing Funding: DEI and anti-racism efforts have largely depended on volunteer work, with innovative staff members often leaving the city. To sustain these efforts, the city is strategically utilizing resources to maintain financial stability and ensure the initiative's continuity. • Implementation Timeline: Establishing the Office of Equity is projected to take 2-3 years, potentially extended by legislative changes and other unforeseen challenges. This underscores the importance of ongoing analysis and allocating sufficient time to assess the effectiveness of these initiatives.
Next Steps & Timeline:
• Fall 2024 – ongoing: The DEI Officer continues to actively engage with key stakeholders to assess the city’s current DEI landscape and familiarize themselves with the city's structure and essential personnel in order to develop a strategic DEI plan. Next steps include developing an RFP for a consultant to facilitate the community process for designing and implementing local reparations, as well as enhancing community engagement and prioritizing City investments in environmental justice communities. Staff have recommended the introduction of three key roles—Supplier Diversity Specialist, Equity & Access Program Lead, and Equity Engagement, Belonging, and Training Specialist—set to begin in FY 2026. In the meantime, the DEI Officer is pursuing grant opportunities to address staffing gaps.

GRANT ASSISTANCE
Department Lead: City Manager’s Office
Status Update: In Progress
Overview:
In Phase 2 of the Reimagining Public Safety initiative, the City Council allocated $100,000 for fiscal years 2023 and 2024 to support the City’s efforts in enhancing public safety through a more inclusive and community-focused approach2. To strengthen the City's grant application capabilities, Berkeley contracted with California Consulting in 2023.
In 2023, the City pursued several state and federal grants to support initiatives aligned with these goals.
Key efforts included applying for the Community Resilience Centers (CRC) program to enhance climate resilience, targeting the CalTrans Clean California program for community beautification and equity projects, and seeking federal support through the PROTECT program to bolster transportation infrastructure resilience against climate change. Additionally, the Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods (RCN) program was pursued to improve access to essential services and promote equitable community development. The Parks, Recreation, and Waterfront department has seen success in securing grants with the support of California Consulting.
Following the approval of carryover funds through the Annual Appropriations Ordinance (AAO) process in 2024, the City amended its contract with California Consulting, LLC to fully utilize the allocated grant assistance funds. Under the leadership of Assistant to the City Manager and the Reimagining Public Safety Team Leads, the focus has been on several critical areas, including:
• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Promoting inclusivity and fairness in community initiatives.
• Universal Basic Income: Exploring financial support mechanisms to ensure economic stability for all residents.
• Mobile/Non-Police/Alternative/Peer-Based Crisis Response: Advancing non- traditional crisis response methods, with an emphasis on securing program funding. • Domestic/Gender-Based/Intimate Partner Violence: Addressing domestic and gender-based violence through enhanced support and resources. • Police Wellness and Fair & Impartial Policing (FIP) Training: Fostering police wellness and unbiased policing practices to improve community-police relations. • Climate Equity: Ensuring that climate justice is integrated into public safety strategies, particularly for communities disproportionately affected by climate change.
As the initiative transitions into Phase 3, the City has applied for two key grants: the Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act (LEMWHA) grant and the Bureau of Justice Assistance Body-Worn Camera Policy and Implementation Program to Support Law Enforcement Agencies grant (see Appendix
2https://berkeleyca.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Reimagining%20Public%20Safety%20Fall%202023%20Report.pdf (See Appendix A, page 27 of the Fall 2023 Report

To sustain and expand these efforts, staff requested funding of $50,000 for fiscal year 2025 to support ongoing grant assistance. The decision on this funding request is currently pending, and the City Council will make a determination during the upcoming Annual Appropriations Ordinance (AAO) process. This continued investment is essential to maintain momentum in these critical areas, ensuring that the initiative can adapt to Berkeley’s evolving public safety needs and continue to foster a safer, more equitable, and resilient community.

• Grant Alignment and Coordination: The strategy for securing grants focuses on balancing the specific requirements of each grant with the broader goals of the Reimagining Public Safety initiative. This approach ensures that grant applications are targeted, aligned with public safety objectives, and encourage effective inter-departmental collaboration. • No-match Prioritization and Limitations: The Reimagining Public Safety Team prioritizes grants that do not require matching funds to optimize the initiative's budget and avoid additional financial commitments. While this strategy helps maximize available resources, it is important to acknowledge that no-match grants may not cover all areas of interest. The City remains committed to exploring all funding opportunities, including those that require matching funds, to fully support the initiative's goals.
Next Steps & Timeline:

SPECIALIZED CARE UNIT IMPLEMENTATION
Department Lead: Health, Housing and Community Services Department Status Update: Initial Implementation Complete
Overview:
In Phase 1 of the Mayor's Reimagining Public Safety initiative, the City of Berkeley began developing the Specialized Care Unit (SCU) through extensive community engagement and research. This initiative, guided by the SCU Steering Committee and informed by Resource Development Associates (RDA), resulted in a model designed specifically for Berkeley's needs. The Health, Housing, and Community Services (HHCS) department has since contracted with Bonita House, Inc., to implement the SCU, which began operating in September 2023. The program is expected to scale up to 24/7 operations, and it is funded through multiple sources, including the American Rescue Plan Act and the California Department of Health Care Services, Crisis Care Mobile Units Grant.
Since its launch in Phase 2, the SCU has received over 1,400 calls for service, and dispatched a team to over 800 calls. The SCU has provided services to over 300 community members, handling between two to five calls per day. Many SCU calls are from community members on behalf of an individual experiencing a crisis, and sometimes the client chooses not to accept SCU services, or the SCU cannot locate the client. When the SCU is able to make contact with the client in crisis, the team will provide a variety of services. Most cases involve de-escalation, safety planning, and providing referrals to community-based resources, with a limited number of psychiatric holds. Since September 2023, 88 SCU calls have included law enforcement, approximately 7 calls per month. This figure includes calls where both law enforcement and the SCU have been concurrently called to the scene, as well as instances when the SCU needed to escalate calls to law enforcement due to a safety issue.
Currently, the SCU operates 24 hours on Sunday through Tuesday, and from 12 a.m to 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday through Saturday. The SCU is working toward expansion to the full 24/7 model.
The SCU can be reached via a 10-digit phone number separate from the 911 system, offering an alternative crisis response. The Specialized Care Unit (SCU) was initially implemented with a non-911 number for two key reasons: to allow these resources to be deployed on the streets as quickly as possible, and to maintain intentional separation from law enforcement resources. This approach was taken with the understanding that integration with the 911 system would be a complex challenge requiring more time and coordination. The work to integrate SCU with the 911 dispatch system is ongoing while preserving the intended separation from law enforcement.
As the SCU enters Phase 3, efforts to expand services, recruit additional staff, and conduct a retrospective evaluation are underway. Resource Development Associates (RDA) is contracted to evaluate the program, focusing on effectiveness, successes, and challenges. This retrospective evaluation, covering data from September 2023 through October 2024, is expected to be completed by Spring 2025. The City is continuing to explore long term funding resources for the SCU, including MediCal

Considerations:
• Scaling Up: Staffing challenges remain a key factor in expanding SCU operations to full 24/7 service. Recruitment and training are ongoing, and HHCS and Bonita House continue to work toward filling the remaining shifts to achieve full operational capacity. • Grants and Long-term Funding: HHCS is exploring additional funding sources, including MediCal billing, to sustain the SCU once the pilot period ends in June 2025. However, an estimated $3.6 million per year will be required to maintain the SCU, necessitating a continued focus on securing long-term funding.
• Leadership Changes: Recent leadership changes within HHCS and Bonita House have slowed the expansion process, but program services have remained consistent. Addressing these transitions remains a priority to ensure smooth program operations.
Next Steps & Timeline:
• Fall 2024 – ongoing: The SCU will continue to expand staff and services to achieve 24/7 coverage. Concurrently, HHCS will work with RDA on the retrospective evaluation of the SCU's first year of operations, with the draft report expected by spring 2025. Feedback from community stakeholders will inform the program's continued growth and adaptation.
Additionally, HHCS will focus on identifying sustainable funding solutions to support the SCU's long-term success.

STAFFING POSITIONS (REIMAGINING PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNITY
SERVICE OFFICERS & DISPATCHERS)
Department Lead: Police
Status Update: In Progress
Overview:
In Phase 2 of the Reimagining Public Safety initiative, the City Council allocated funds for Fiscal Years 2023 and 2024 to support a two-year pilot program, introducing 8 Public Safety Dispatcher II positions, 1 Public Safety Dispatch Supervisor, 6 Community Service Officers (CSOs), and 1 CSO Supervisor. The pilot program aimed to evaluate how CSOs could be integrated into the public safety framework to handle non-critical tasks, improving both efficiency and community engagement. During the pilot, one CSO was assigned to the Community Services Bureau to support these efforts.
As noted in the Fall 2023 Update, efforts to recruit and maintain staff were impacted by the temporary nature of the positions. However, the Berkeley Police Department remains committed to the program and has recently completed a comprehensive staffing evaluation that affirmed the program’s long-term viability and sustainability.
As the initiative enters Phase 3, the CSO positions have been converted into full-time permanent roles.
This strategic move is expected to significantly improve the department’s ability to staff and operationalize the unit effectively. Already, the conversion has shown positive results, with 2 new CSOs recently hired. This marks an important step toward building a more efficient, community-responsive public safety framework for the future.

FAIR AND IMPARTIAL POLICING
Department Lead: Police
Status Update: Initial Implementation Complete
Overview:
In Phase 1, the Berkeley City Council approved the Mayor’s Fair and Impartial Policing (FIP) Taskforce recommendations in February 2021. Since then, the Berkeley Police Department (BPD) has successfully implemented 14 of the 14 recommendations, demonstrating a strong commitment to fair and impartial policing. As part of this initiative, the department introduced specialized training programs, supported by an additional $100,000 allocated in Phase 2 for Fiscal Years 2023 and 2024. This funding has bolstered efforts to focus on Constitutional, Humane, Impartial, Neighborhood- and Community-Oriented, and DEI-centered practices, collectively known as “KIND” training. Additionally, BPD implemented the Active Bystander for Law Enforcement (ABLE) training program, which promotes a culture of peer intervention. This program has garnered significant support from community organizations, including Dorothy Day House and the Center for Food, Faith, and Justice2. BPD also provided updates on FIP- related progress at the March 12, 2024 Special City Council Meeting.
In Phase 3, BPD will continue to build on these initiatives with an additional $100,000 for Fiscal Years 2025 and 2026 to sustain training efforts. In parallel, the Assistant to the City Manager is working with the department to secure competitive grant funding to expand these efforts, ensuring ongoing momentum and commitment to FIP.
Looking ahead, BPD is advancing its Early Intervention System (EIS) in collaboration with the Police Accountability Board (PAB) and the Berkeley Police Association (BPA). The existing EIS has been a key tool for enhancing transparency and proactive officer development since 2004. In 2023, the department expanded its policy to include RIPA stop data and quarterly audits of body-worn camera footage. To further improve the system, BPD has concluded the RFP for a new EIS platform and, in collaboration with the PAB and BPA, is now evaluating the submissions. This upgraded EIS platform will enhance officer performance monitoring and enable timely interventions as needed (see Appendix E for EIS RFP).
BPD continues to collaborate with the Police Accountability Board and remains committed to equitable and unbiased policing. With nearly all FIP recommendations implemented, the department is dedicated to carrying this important work forward, ensuring ongoing progress and providing annual updates on these efforts.

WELLNESS PRACTICES
Department Lead: Police
Status Update: In Progress
Overview:
In Phase 2 of the Reimagining Public Safety initiative, the Berkeley Police Department was allocated $50,000 to enhance staff wellness services, including Crisis Intervention and Stress Management. As highlighted in the Fall 2023 Status Update, key developments included facility upgrades, and the introduction of an immersive group therapy program aimed at trauma recovery (See Appendix A, page 34 of Fall 2023 Report). Additionally, a mobile app offering anonymous access to a wide range of health and wellness resources was launched, reflecting the department’s commitment to both the physical and mental well-being of its officers.
Now in Phase 3, the allocation of $50,000 for Fiscal Years 2025 and 2026 will continue to sustain and expand BPD wellness initiatives. To further these efforts, the Assistant to the City Manager is working in partnership with the department to seek competitive grant funding. This funding will not only support wellness programs but also improve officer retention, as wellness initiatives directly impact job satisfaction and reduce burnout, ultimately benefiting the community by ensuring officers are better equipped to serve.

VISION ZERO PROGRAM
Department Lead: Public Works Department
Status Update: In Progress
Overview:
As part of the Reimagining Public Safety Initiative, the City of Berkeley remains committed to achieving the goals of Vision Zero—eliminating all fatal and serious injury traffic crashes by 2028. In Phase 2, the Public Works Department hired a Vision Zero Program Coordinator (Associate Planner) to aid in implementing the Vision Zero Action Plan, which outlines 11 high-priority actions aimed at addressing serious traffic injuries and fatalities. The plan focuses on system-wide safety improvements, particularly along high-injury corridors, and uses data-driven approaches to inform traffic safety interventions.
The Vision Zero approach emphasizes design and engineering interventions over enforcement, particularly in areas already impacted by serious collisions. The Vision Zero Action Plan also calls for an equity evaluation to identify gaps in safety and collision data, with the goal of addressing those inequities in the upcoming plan update.
Since the hiring of the Vision Zero Program Coordinator, the program’s focus has been to support safety projects on Vision Zero High Injury Streets, such as the Adeline Street
Transportation Improvements and the San Pablo Corridor
Projects. The Coordinator has also initiated monthly meetings with the Berkeley Police Department to enhance data sharing and analysis of collision trends. This collaboration has resulted in updates to the Berkeley Police Department Transparency Hub such that publicly available crash data will be depicted consistent with the Vision Zero priority to focus on severe injury and fatality collisions. In addition, planning is underway to eventually restart the Berkeley Vision Zero Coordinating Committee and initiate the Vision Zero Action Plan update. Although recruitment for the Vision Zero Program Manager (Senior Planner) has been challenging, it remains a top priority. Filling this critical vacancy is essential before we can continue or begin any new Vision Zero program initiatives.
Vision Zero traffic safety interventions consist of both large-scale, grant-funded capital projects and smaller-scale Quick Build projects. Since the Spring 2024 update, construction is nearing completion on two major safety projects: the Southside
Complete Streets Project and the Martin Luther King Jr. Way Vision Zero Quick Build. Work will soon begin on the Adeline Street Transportation Improvement Project, and our goal is to
STAFFING INVESTMENTS
29 Page | R e i m a g i n i n g P u b l i c S a f e t y S t a t u s R e p o r t also resume the Telegraph Multi-modal Corridor Study, which was paused in 2022 due to staff capacity challenges. These two major corridors are also Vision Zero High Injury Streets. These projects are designed to improve safety for all modes of transportation and were developed based on the Berkeley Bicycle Plan, Pedestrian Plan, and Transit-First Policy Implementation Plan.
Following multiple serious and fatal collisions in early 2024, the Vision Zero Rapid Response Protocol was activated. This protocol, developed under the Vision Zero Action Plan, coordinates data collection and traffic safety interventions in response to severe traffic incidents. Vision Zero staff have also been working with consultants to formalize a Quick Build program that would offer scalable design solutions for improving safety on high-injury corridors.
As the City progresses into Phase 3 of the Reimagining Public Safety Initiative, continued funding is absolutely essential to preserve the Vision Zero Associate Planner role and maintain existing consultant resources to continue support for Vision Zero efforts. In previous years these activities were largely paid for by the City’s share of direct local distribution of Alameda County Measure BB Transportation Sales Tax funds. However, as a result of the approximately 20% cost escalation due to COVID supply chain issues and inflation, those funds are increasingly being used by the City to close the resulting gap in grant-funded capital projects. This has left the Vision Zero Program with a lack of discretionary funding for both staffing and consultant expenses. The significant toll of traffic-related injuries in Berkeley calls for a pragmatic response, one which addresses the challenges of current transportation funding realities.

30 Page | R e i m a g i n i n g P u b l i c S a f e t y S t a t u s R e p o r t Considerations:
• Staffing Vacancies: The Vision Zero Program Manager (Senior Planner) position remains vacant following the promotion of the previous Senior Planner. As of November 2024, the Vision Zero Program Coordinator (Associate Planner) position will be vacant. Recruitment for both roles is ongoing, with an expected hire by end of calendar year 2024. Additionally, vacancies in key Traffic Engineering positions, such as the Supervising Transportation Engineer, may delay the progress of capital projects along high-injury streets due to a reduced capacity for internal review.
• Funding: While the program has received initial funding, long-term sustainability will require additional resources, particularly to ensure successful City program staff recruitment and retention and for consultant support to continue progress on Quick Build and major capital projects, as well as other programmatic initiatives like Rapid Response and the Vision Zero Action Plan update. Specifically, funding for a permanent, rather than three-year time-limited Vision Zero Program Coordinator (Associate Planner) is essential for viability of Vision Zero Program programs and projects.
Next Steps & Timeline:
• Fall 2024 – ongoing: Vision Zero staff will focus on major grant-funded capital project delivery. Restarting the Vision Zero Coordinating Committee, updating the Vision Zero Action Plan, and implementing the Rapid Response Protocol will depend on the hiring of the Vision Zero Program Manager and the replacement Vision Zero Program Coordinator by end of 2024 and securing funding for a permanent Vision Zero Program Coordinator (Associate Planner).
Even after fully staffing the Vision Zero Program staff will continue to depend on consultant support for delivery of capital projects, as well as development of Vision Zero program initiatives such as the Quick Build program, Rapid Response, and updating the Vision Zero Action Plan.

BERKELEY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT
Department Lead: Public Works Department
Status Update: Paused Due to Deferred Funding
Overview:
In Phase 1 of the Reimagining Public Safety Initiative, foundational work for the Berkeley Department of Transportation (BerkDOT) began, focusing on consolidating transportation functions and promoting racial equity in transportation policies. For FY 2023, the City allocated $300,000 for BerkDOT development under Phase 2. However, as noted in the Fall 2023 Status Report, several challenges, including the delay of progress with California Senate Bill 50, staffing shortages, and leadership transitions within Public Works, have slowed progress3. The deferral of funding has further impacted the project’s momentum.
As Phase 3 progresses, City staff are monitoring policy developments, specifically with regards to California SB-50, while addressing immediate public safety priorities. Staffing and leadership transitions have created operational challenges, but ongoing evaluations, future legislative changes, and funding availability will guide the direction of BerkDOT. The City Council will determine the timeline and funding for BerkDOT’s development as part of the broader strategic goals of the Reimagining Public Safety Initiative.

• Budgetary Constraints: The current deferral of BerkDOT’s budget requires a strategic approach to managing ongoing projects with available resources. Given the extreme staffing shortages in the Transportation Division, we will resume this effort soon and continue to explore alternative funding opportunities, such as grants and partnerships, to support future phases of BerkDOT's development.
• Staffing: Staffing shortages and leadership transitions within Public Works continue to affect operational capacity. While recruitment efforts are ongoing, these challenges have shifted the Department’s focus toward more immediate public safety priorities, with plans to revisit BerkDOT development as capacity allows.
Next Steps & Timeline:
• Fall 2024 – ongoing: Given the funding deferral and staffing challenges, the City Manager recommended classifying BerkDOT development as a Tier 3 priority during the bi-annual budget process. This approach allows the City to address urgent public safety needs while completing essential dependencies, such as the Transportation Fines & Fees Analysis. Once these are resolved, staff will revisit BerkDOT development with a phased implementation plan. In the meantime, alternative funding sources, including grants and partnerships, will be pursued to support future BerkDOT efforts and ensure alignment with the broader Reimagining Public Safety Initiative goals.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, CRISIS RESPONSE, AND CRISIS-RELATED
SERVICES NEEDS AND CAPACITY ASSESSMENTS
Department Lead: Health, Housing and Community Services Department Status Update: In Progress
Overview:
In Phase 2 of the Reimagining Public Safety initiative, the City of Berkeley allocated $100,000 in FY 2023 to assess service needs related to behavioral health and homelessness using data from 911 and non-911 calls since March 2020. In May 2023, the City Council approved additional funds for Resource Development Associates (RDA) to conduct a detailed Crisis Needs Assessment, supporting the implementation and evaluation of the Specialized Care Unit (SCU).
Part of the Crisis Needs Assessment focuses on improving the effectiveness of crisis response services, particularly through analyzing 911 Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) data. The assessment builds off the City Auditor’s report from 2019, specifically Section 6 related to responses to mental health and homelessness calls. RDA evaluators are working closely with key stakeholders, including Bonita House, multiple departments within the City of Berkeley, and other crisis service providers to complete the CAD assessment. Objectives guiding the assessment includes:
• Quality Improvement: Identify 911 call types that could be routed to the SCU or other crisis service providers.
• Assessing Results: Provide recommendations based on data analysis to increase the effectiveness of crisis call response options.
Data being analyzed by RDA includes:
• 911 CAD data, including narrative data
• Observations from sit-alongs in the Communications Center • Shadowing Berkeley Police Department field responses to track call outcomes RDA is in the process of analyzing these data sets and expects to release an initial draft of the report by fall 2024. The final goal is to optimize the categorization of crisis calls and improve the routing of appropriate calls to the SCU and other crisis units for mental health crises as well as homelessness. The CAD assessment will help inform how the city can strengthen responses for residents experiencing a crisis, and will continue into 2025 as part of Phase 3.
Along with the CAD Assessment, the Crisis Needs Assessment also includes a specific focus on crisis stabilization resources accessible to Berkeley community members after they experience a crisis. HHCS is working with partners and stakeholders across the City to refine best practice recommendations to support community members after a crisis. HHCS is working with the Alameda County Behavioral Health (ACBH) data team to collect and report important Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) data, key for tracking incidence of crisis amongst City of Berkeley residents. ACBH data illustrates incidence of crisis, answering the following questions:
• The rate of Berkeley residents in psychiatric hospitals:
o How many Berkeley residents engage in care at regional psychiatric facilities in a given year?

STAFFING ASSESSMENT
Department Lead: Police
Status Update: Assessment Complete
Overview:
As part of the Reimagining Public Safety process, and in alignment with recommendations from the City Auditor, the Berkeley Police Department (BPD) engaged Citygate Associates, LLC, for a comprehensive Workload and Organizational Study. This assessment, initiated in Phase 2, aimed to review critical aspects of BPD operations, including the adequacy of current and future deployment systems, staffing levels across the department, sustainable alternatives, beat structure, overtime reliance, and the overall organizational structure.
Citygate was tasked with proposing organizational enhancements that would improve service delivery to the community while also considering the morale and well-being of police staff. The study focused on addressing staffing shortages, evaluating the use of overtime, and recommending solutions for better allocation of resources.
On September 4, 2024, Citygate delivered its final 147-page report, which contains 74 key findings and 54 actionable recommendations. The report provides in-depth insights into staffing challenges and offers a path forward to improve departmental efficiency, reduce overtime dependence, and integrate Community Service Officers (CSOs) more effectively into the operational framework.
High-Level Findings:
• Sworn Resource Allocation. As staffing rebounds towards the authorized level, the study recommends prioritizing the allocation of officers to key areas based on workload and operational needs.
• Organizational Health and Retention. The report emphasizes the importance of fostering a supportive organizational environment to improve retention and mitigate staff burnout. • CSO and Professional Staff Expansion. To meet increasing operational demands, Citygate recommends adding and promoting professional administrative staff. • Process Efficiency & Technological Advancement. Enhancing operational efficiency is a key focus, with recommendations to adopt advanced technology solutions and streamline workflows.
In Phase 3, BPD will review these findings with the department's command leadership team to assess the identified opportunities and challenges. Plans for implementing key recommendations will be prioritized. Additionally, Citygate will present its report and be available to answer questions as part of the City Manager’s Reimagining Public Safety Fall 2024 update.

In Phase 2 of the Reimagining Public Safety initiative, the City Council allocated $150,000 in Fiscal Year 2023 to review and propose amendments to the City of Berkeley's Municipal Code. The main goals of this effort are to enhance equity and racial justice within the city's fines and fees system and to explore the potential for civilian enforcement of certain Municipal Code violations. The Fall 2023 Status Report noted delays in completing this analysis due to the deferral of funding in the Annual Appropriations Ordinance (AAO) process. Funding was finally released in January 2024, following approval by the Mayor and City Council. To manage this project, an internal steering committee of City staff was formed, coordinated by the Assistant to the City Manager. This committee includes representatives from the City Attorney’s Office, City Manager’s Office (including the Hearing Officer and DEI Officer), Police Department, Health, Housing, and Community Services (HHCS) Department, and Public Works Transportation Division. Initial discussions regarding the best process to fulfill this deliverable were delayed due to an extended council recess. The team is now focused on defining an approach that maximizes the use of the resources allocated and is considering multiple options for advancing the project.
As the initiative progresses in Phase 3, there are ongoing challenges related to funding timelines. The availability of funds is being awaited through a carryforward request in the AAO1 process. The team is expected to reconvene in the fall or winter after the AAO1 process, provided funding is secured. It is recommended that the allocated funds be carried forward into Fiscal Year 2025 to maintain project continuity. This step is essential to ensure that the City of Berkeley can continue to pursue its objectives of promoting equity and racial justice through the reassessment of transportation fines and fees. The commitment to carry forward these funds underscores the City’s dedication to reforming municipal practices to support a more equitable community environment.
Despite funding delays, internal groundwork is underway to keep the project moving forward. A survey conducted by the HHCS Office of the Director is currently assessing the impact of fines and fees on the financial situation of low-income clients. Understanding these impacts is crucial for aligning the project with broader community priorities. This survey is expected to be completed in November. In addition to this, the Assistant to the City Manager and the HHCS team are working with the San Francisco Financial Justice Project and other partners, such as participating in the accelerator network convening, to learn from their experiences with fines and fees reform, aiming to incorporate best practices into Berkeley’s approach.
Simultaneously, the CoB fines & fees steering committee is ongoing to develop a comprehensive map of fines and fees within Berkeley’s jurisdiction. Depending on the strategy that the steering committee selects, an external partner may be identified to assist with this effort. This decision will be informed by the findings from the internal HHCS service provider survey and other relevant data. The goal remains

38 Page | R e i m a g i n i n g P u b l i c S a f e t y S t a t u s R e p o r t to provide a detailed overview of the fines and fees that most impact low-income residents and to identify ways to restructure these systems to reduce financial burdens on vulnerable populations. The current focus is on establishing a solid foundation for determining the best process to engage a partner or vendor to support the project’s goals. The project team plans to reconvene in November to finalize this approach, with the expectation that concrete next steps will be taken soon after, depending on the outcome of the AAO1 timeline. Moving forward, the project will emphasize several critical areas:
• Data Evaluation: Establishing a clear baseline and identifying key data points to measure the impact and progress of reforms.
• Community Engagement: Planning for meaningful community involvement to ensure that the initiatives are responsive to and inclusive of community needs. • Implementation and Sustainability: Developing strategies to ensure the effective implementation and long-term sustainability of the proposed reforms.
These preparations aim to maximize the effectiveness of the allocated funds and establish strong partnerships with vendors who can help achieve the project's goals.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY SAFETY DESIGN AND
IMPLEMENTATION
Department Lead: City Manager’s Office
Status Update: To Be Initiated (project deferred)
Overview:
As part of Phase 2 of the Reimagining Public Safety initiative, $250,000 was allocated in FY 2024 for designing a Department of Community Safety. However, the Fall 2023 Status Report highlighted that several key deliverables, including this department, have not yet been initiated. The delay stems from concerns about the feasibility of the implementation timeline and the need to reallocate funds to existing city services and council referrals as part of the AAO process.
As Phase 3 begins, the City of Berkeley has prioritized advancing other critical areas of the initiative before moving forward with the Department of Community Safety. Based on a review of timelines for assessments, pilots, and evaluations, staff recommend revisiting funding for the department in Phase 4.
This will allow the city to address immediate priorities while ensuring future developments align with the initiative's broader goals.

DISPATCH NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Department Lead: Fire Department
Status Update: Assessment Complete
Overview:
As the City advances in its plan to evolve and enhance emergency call triaging, it is important to recognize the ongoing improvements and challenges needed in the City’s Emergency Communications Center (ECC), a critical hub for dispatching all police, fire, and emergency medical services (EMS). The ECC receives and manages emergency and non-emergency calls, collect critical information, and coordinates appropriate responses using a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system. In order to expand ECC capabilities, staff needs to assess current operations, staffing, technology, ECC physical space, and additional alternative response model needs. The Berkeley Fire and Police Department is committed to working together to implement systematic emergency call triage, providing pre-arrival instructions, and deploying alternative response units following necessary upgrades. These enhancements are aligned with regional standards and require significant investment for full implementation.
During Phase 1 of the Mayor's phased Reimagining Public Safety initiative, the focus was on contracting a firm to conduct a Dispatch Needs Assessment (DNA) and engaging key stakeholders. In response to community input, Phase 2’s objectives were informed by a deep understanding of the needs highlighted by the residents.
Phase 2 shifted focus to validating the initial recommendations. To ensure strong strategic planning and budgeting, this input has been instrumental in justifying reforms to the dispatch system to improve response times and effectiveness, particularly for mental health crises (See Appendix A Community Input and Survey-Informed Reimagining Public Safety Deliverables Matrix).
The initial assessment aimed to evaluate current Fire and EMS dispatch capabilities and make recommendations for implementing a priority dispatch system that follows nationally recognized standards. These recommendations included critical information about what is needed prior to and how to proceed with implementing the following:
• Establishing pre-arrival instructions
• Deploying alternative resources
• Optimizing staffing models
• Expanding or optimizing the current physical space
• Enhancing infrastructure and software
• Improving training and quality assurance measures
To comprehensively understand the current capabilities and identify areas for improvement, the assessment focused on evaluating specific data points, including:
• Staffing levels
• Call volume by time of day
• Previous reports
• Seating configuration
• Emergency vs. Non-emergency call volume
CONSULTANT COSTS
41 Page | R e i m a g i n i n g P u b l i c S a f e t y S t a t u s R e p o r t Recognizing the significance and long-term impact of these recommendations, the Berkeley Fire Department sought additional validation from subject matter experts (SMEs) (See Appendix J for DNA Reports). These experts reviewed additional call data and re-evaluated both current and proposed models. Their input provided alternative perspectives on key areas, including the staffing model, handling of low-acuity and non-emergency calls, dispatch workflow, and tiered dispatch systems.
As the Reimagining Public Safety Initiative moves into Phase 3, the focus is on developing the most cost- effective, efficient and achievable strategic plan that outlines how Berkeley can achieve the capacity to triage calls, provide emergency medical direction to callers, and dispatch alternate configurations of resources including non-emergency Fire Department resources, the Specialized Care Unit, and the BEAR Unit (the pilot low-acuity medical response). Staff are strategically considering the dependencies required to achieve these goals. For example, to dispatch these units, more staffing is required which requires physical upgrades to support additional staffing. The ECC needs to procure and install four additional dispatch consoles at a cost of $150,000 each, in addition to adding an additional two consoles to meet the on-duty staffing recommendations reported in the dispatch needs assessment. The recommended expanded capacity is not possible without the City securing additional square footage.
The implementation plan underway can provide estimated costs and viable options for expansion.

Considerations:
• Staffing: The Berkeley ECC has faced significant recruitment and hiring challenges consistent with challenges faced nationwide. In order for the ECC to enhance operations, it must first meet minimum staffing levels. Additionally, any changes to dispatch protocols will likely require a meet-and-confer process.
• Unanticipated Delays: The original needs assessment faced delays due to contractor availability. After receiving the initial DNA, BFD understood the breadth of changes that were needed and chose to validate the findings. With the contracting and execution of the validation study, this stage was delayed 14 months.
• Facilities Space: A key challenge in expanding dispatch staff and operations is securing adequate facility space to expand the ECC. The current configuration of the Public Safety
CONSULTANT COSTS
42 Page | R e i m a g i n i n g P u b l i c S a f e t y S t a t u s R e p o r t Building lacks the necessary space to
accommodate this expansion. This was
one of the factors that influenced the
decision to move the Fire Department to
an alternate facility. That process is
underway, and once the Fire Department
has vacated the Public Safety Building, it
is anticipated that there will be adequate
space for an expansion – although a
facility design will need to be completed
before that can be validated. These costs
are yet to be determined and unfunded.
• Budget: The majority of stage 1 of the project was funded through HHCS grant funds, with subsequent activities, including the Validation Report and planning phase for implementation, financed by Measure FF funding. While Measure FF is expected to cover some one-time expenses for implementing DNA recommendations, substantial technology procurement, construction, staffing, and other ongoing costs will require new funding that will need to be added to the Police Department’s budget. With the completion of the DNA validation study the BFD has fulfilled its charge to perform the assessment of the ECC. The BFD will continue to partner and support the Police Department as it oversees the ECC, and any future enhancements that will occur.
Next Steps & Timeline:
• Fall 2024 – ongoing: The reports have provided high-level strategic recommendations for an implementation plan. However, the development of a more detailed implementation plan is pending the City’s decision on its preferred course of action and which recommendations are feasible to adopt. Regardless of the specific recommendations or decision-making timeline, the need for ongoing contractor support to enhance technology and workflow processes remains essential. The Berkeley Fire Department is preparing a new contract with consultants to develop a strategic plan for phased implementation of the necessary ECC enhancements, which are anticipated to span 5 to 10 years.
• Winter 2024 – Spring 2025: Berkeley Police and Fire leadership reviewed the recommendations and agreed to initiate the implementation of protocols to assist in improving training and operations, provide an opportunity to dispatch alternative response programs, and reduce the attrition rate.
• January 2025 – at the earliest feasible opportunity: As identified in the Fire Department Standards of Coverage and Community Risk Assessment (2023), the Fire Department is in critical need of an ECC that has the capability to triage 911 callers so that appropriate resources can be dispatched based on the type and severity of the emergency. Currently, because the ECC is unable to triage 911 calls, the Fire Department sends the same configuration of apparatus and personnel to all reported medical emergencies, which is an inefficient use of resources. It will be very problematic and expensive (as additional ambulances will have to be deployed) if the Fire Department cannot provide these services.

VIOLENCE PREVENTION
VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND YOUTH SERVICES
Department Lead: Health, Housing and Community Services Department Status Update: In Progress
Overview:
In Phase 2 of the Reimagining Public Safety initiative, the City of Berkeley prioritized community investment by providing significant funding to two key Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) to support youth violence prevention efforts. McGee Avenue Baptist Church’s Center for Food, Faith, and Justice was allocated $50,000 to support its "Voices Against Violence" program, a youth-centered initiative focused on violence prevention, equity, and community engagement. The program serves middle and high school students through workshops on topics such as identity formation, diversity, art, urban gardening, and health, offering stipends and meals to participants. The funding has expanded McGee-CFFJ's capacity to serve Berkeley’s vulnerable youth and families and leverage other existing programs, such as the Urban Garden and Soulful Parenting Support Initiative.
Additionally, Berkeley Youth Alternatives (BYA) received $160,000, with $125,000 directed toward its Counseling Center and $35,000 supporting the Summer Jam Day Camp. The camp, which provided scholarships to ensure accessibility, offered educational, recreational, and creative programming for children aged 6 to 12, including literacy support through a partnership with the U.C. Berkeley Public Service Center. The funds also enabled BYA’s Counseling Center to increase its reach, supporting youth without insurance, and allowed for the hiring of additional staff focused on mental health and wellness. The introduction of therapy groups focused on resilience and social relationships further bolstered the center's services, providing targeted support for young people.
As the City enters Phase 3 of the Reimagining Public Safety initiative, in addition to the continued funding for Berkeley Youth Alternatives and the "Voices Against Violence" program, additional funding has been allocated to support the Berkeley Junior Jackets Violence Prevention Program, reinforcing the City's commitment to ongoing violence prevention and youth services. Below is an overview of programming details (See Appendix G for Supporting Materials):
• Voices Against Violence Programming: The Voices Against Violence Program, led by Reverend Dr. Michael A. Smith and supported by
COMMUNITY INVESTMENTS
44 Page | R e i m a g i n i n g P u b l i c S a f e t y S t a t u s R e p o r t seasoned community peace ambassadors, aims to reduce gun violence and promote community healing in South and West Berkeley. The program targets high-risk middle and high school students, offering mentoring, life-skills training, and participation in violence prevention strategies. Through collaborative efforts with organizations like Live Free USA and CFFJ, participants engage in workshops, community service projects, and special events designed to foster leadership, conflict resolution, and positive self-expression. With a focus on building trust and reducing violence, the program serves 24 youth and partners with local institutions to expand opportunities for youth leadership and employment. • Berkeley Youth Alternatives Programming:
o Summer Jam Day Camp: A total of 35 students from 29 families attended BYA’s Summer Jam Day Camp (16 students in summer 2023 and 19 in summer 2024). The Summer Jam youth engaged in a variety of activities, including nature walks, poetry, soccer, basketball, photography, button making, presentations from the Ecology Center, art therapy, chess, gardening, dance, music, BYA' SPARK Health workshops, lawn bowling, arts and crafts, and swimming at West campus pool. Youth engaged in field trips to the Oakland Zoo, Oakland Museum, and ice skating among others. Additionally, the Summer Jam youth participated in weekly Girl's and
Boy's Group meetings led by BYA counselors. One of the
activities in these meetings is expressive art therapy
groups. In the June art therapy sessions, the youth
created a sensory board inspired by 'Inside Out 2' that explored emotions through different textures. The youth associated feelings with materials such as cotton and
sandpaper, and the older youth expressed complex
emotions through layered art. Their collaborative sensory board, which reflects a spectrum of emotions, served as a daily emotional point in the common area, promoting
empathy and self-awareness through creative expression. o Counseling: BYA provided counseling to 54 young
people in FY24. 52% African American, 26% Latinx, 9%
were Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, with the remaining individuals identifying as multiple races or other. 32% of the counseling recipients were 6–11 years old, 57%
were12-17 years old and the remainder were transition-
age youth (18-24 years old). These young people
participated in 1,611 individual counselling sessions and 903 group counseling sessions. The counselors provided support with individual rehabilitation focused on
interviewing skills and techniques, professional
communication, along with coping techniques and tips to manage stress and anxiety. In addition to therapeutic
services, clinicians provide case management services
including linkage to community resources and other
services/providers to meet the various needs of the family. The counselors continue to

• Berkeley Junior Jackets Programming: The Berkeley
Junior Jackets program is a comprehensive two-year
initiative focused on youth development, operational
capacity building, and violence prevention in Berkeley4. The program provides stipends to coaches, staff, and board
members to ensure a professional team, while also offering youth training, mentorship, and participation in key
community events. Through strategic partnerships, accessible enrollment, and specialized coaching, the Junior Jackets aim to promote leadership, teamwork, and community engagement. The program aligns with the City’s Reimagining Public Safety initiative, tracking performance metrics and delivering positive outcomes for Berkeley’s youth through sports, life skills, and empowerment activities.
This sustained investment will continue into Fiscal Year 2025-2026, ensuring the continuation and expansion of these vital community programs.

GUN VIOLENCE INTERVENTION AND PREVENTION
(BERKELEY CEASEFIRE)
Department Lead: City Manager’s Office
Status Update: In Progress
Overview:
As noted in the Fall 2023 Status Report, Phase 1 of the Reimagining Public Safety initiative focused heavily on community and expert engagement (see Appendix A, page 49 of Fall 2023 Report). In Phase 2, the City allocated $2 million ($1 million for FY 2023 and FY 2024) to address the increasing issue of gun violence. The completion of the Gun Violence Prevention (GVP) report in summer 2023 was a key milestone, with findings presented to the Chief of Police, the City Manager's Office, and the City Council on January 23, 2024. A comprehensive, four-pronged strategy was approved, emphasizing:
1. Place-based interventions in areas experiencing increased shootings.
2. Direct engagement with at-risk individuals through custom notifications.
3. Street outreach initiatives.
4. Provision of robust social services.
To implement these strategies, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was launched in March 2024, focusing on the design and implementation of custom notifications and street outreach. This process is managed by the City Manager's Office, with oversight from a steering committee that includes both internal and external stakeholders. By early summer 2024, a contract was finalized, and a soft launch of the Gun Violence Intervention and Prevention program is planned for fall 2024 (See Appendix H for GVIPP Contract and Supporting Materials).
In Phase 3, the City has contracted with Live Free USA, which will subcontract with the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform (NICJR). Additionally, partnerships have been established with McGee Avenue Baptist Church's Voices Against Violence and the Berkeley Junior Jackets Violence Prevention efforts to enhance program delivery. This partnership was publicly announced during the National Night Out event in summer 2024.

PUBLIC SAFETY/CRIME PREVENTION FOR WOMEN AND OLDER
PERSONS
Department Lead: City Manager’s Office
Status Update: In Progress
Overview:
The recommendation on public safety and crime prevention for women was presented to and accepted by the City Council in February 2024. These recommendations include a comprehensive strategy with the following elements:
• Data-Driven Approach: Collaborating with the Berkeley Police Department to identify critical areas and optimal times for safety escorts, focusing on enhancing protection for women based on identified risks.
• Community Forum: Organizing a city-wide hybrid safety forum specifically targeted at women, with a particular focus on engaging older women. This forum will be led by the Berkeley Police Department.
• Community Ambassadors: Deploying ambassador-led safety escorts in business districts and nearby residential areas to improve security and community presence. • Safety Escorts: Establishing a safety escort program inspired by the 2003 Respect-BART initiative, providing safe passage for women in key areas. • Ride-Share Program: Exploring the expansion of the Go-Go Grandparent program to offer safer transportation options for women, including potential cost-sharing solutions and modifications to ensure safe arrivals, pending Council budget review.
In April 2024, staff presented preliminary data and findings to the Commission on the Status of Women and received feedback to inform next steps and further direction. Recognizing the importance of a meticulous and strategic approach, ongoing engagement with stakeholders is being conducted to better understand the phased rollout and prioritization of these recommendations. Through data analysis and identification of needs, the goal is to pinpoint areas requiring immediate attention.
As the Reimagining Public Safety Initiative advances in Phase 3, the project is currently awaiting the outcome of the Annual Appropriations Ordinance (AAO) process. Staff recommend allocating $250,000 for FY 2025 to support the phased rollout of these programs. In the meantime, efforts are focused on research and engagement with data and partnerships, including revisiting the community survey conducted by Bright Research Group during Phase 1 of the Reimagining Public Safety process. The findings from this survey will be used to support the needs assessment for the public safety and crime prevention program for women (See Appendix A for Community Survey and RPS Matrix). The project team is actively analyzing crime data that will help identify the most critical areas and times for implementing safety measures. This collaborative effort aims to enhance the protection of women by targeting identified high-risk areas and times. Partnerships with community organizations and stakeholders are being strengthened to refine the proposed program's strategies and implementation

Awaiting funding release from the Annual Appropriations Ordinance (AAO) process to begin implementation of key program elements.
Considerations:
• Funding: The successful implementation of the public safety and crime prevention program for women is contingent on securing sufficient funding. Currently, the initiative is awaiting the release of funds from the Annual Appropriations Ordinance (AAO) process. This pending funding is critical for advancing the program's key elements. Without a dedicated budget, progress may be limited, necessitating a strategic approach to resource allocation and spending.
Identifying and securing external funding sources, such as grants, will be essential to bridge any funding gaps and ensure the sustainability of the program. • Program Design and Community Engagement: The program's design must be responsive to the needs of the community, particularly those of women at higher risk. Engaging with stakeholders, including community groups, the Commission on the Status of Women, and residents, is vital for shaping a program that is inclusive and effective. Regular feedback and input from these groups will help refine program strategies and ensure they are aligned with community expectations and needs.
Next Steps & Timeline:
• Fall 2024 – ongoing: Pending the release of funding from the AAO process, continue refining the program's scope, timeline, and budget through ongoing research and stakeholder engagement. Focus on leveraging grants and external funding opportunities, and prioritize actions based on a comprehensive needs analysis driven by data. Upon securing funding, begin implementing the initial phases of the program, with a continued emphasis on evaluating and adjusting strategies to ensure alignment with community needs and legal requirements. Regular updates on progress and funding status will be provided to maintain transparency and stakeholder engagement.

ALTERNATIVES TO SANCTIONS/FINES
HEARING OFFICER-ALTERNATIVES TO SANCTIONS/FINES
Department Lead: Public Works Department
Status Update: Paused Due to Deferred Funding
Overview:
Under Phase 2, the City allocated $150,000 in FY 2024 to enhance hearing officer resources, aimed at referring individuals with minor infractions, such as parking violations, to community and social services.
However, as noted in the Fall 2023 update, the funding for these resources has been deferred Now in Phase 3, the initiative’s progress is tied to the outcomes of the Transportation Fines & Fees Analysis. In light of this, City staff have recommended reallocating the funds to Phase 4, aligning with either the next bi-annual budget cycle or a mid-year update. This adjustment will depend on the completion of the fines and fees recommendations and council direction, ensuring better alignment with the broader goals of the Reimagining Public Safety initiative.
Key Accomplishments and Next Steps:
RPS Phase Timeline Milestone
Phase 2
(2022-2024)
June 2023 Council referred several Reimagining Tier 1 requests to the Annual Appropriations Ordinance process.
January 2024 Funding for Expanding Hearing Officer Resources/Alternative to Sanctions/Fines deferred.
May 2024 Staff recommended funding for the next bi-annual fiscal year, pending council direction on the Fines & Fees recommendations.
Phase 3
(2025-2026) Fall 2024
Continued deferral of funding for Expanding Hearing Officer Resources/Alternatives to Sanctions/Fines to better align with broader public safety goals.
Considerations:
• Strategic Resource Allocation and Dependencies: The deferral of this project in FY 2024 highlights the importance of reassessing timelines and resource allocation. With the progress of the Transportation Fines & Fees Analysis in Phase 3, this project must be aligned with its outcomes. Any adjustments to funding will depend on the completion of the Fines & Fees recommendations and council direction, ensuring resources are used efficiently and in line with the City’s long-term Reimagining Public Safety goals.
Next Steps & Timeline:
• Fall 2024 – ongoing: Given the deferral and reallocation of funds, staff recommend revisiting this item in Phase 4 for potential future funding and implementation, once the outcomes of the Fines & Fees Analysis and council direction are determined.

EXPAND DOWNTOWN STREETS TEAMS
Department Lead: Public Works Department
Status Update: In Progress (anticipated carryforward request) Overview:
In Phase 2 of the Reimagining Public Safety Initiative, the City allocated $50,000 for FY 2024 to enhance the contract with Downtown Streets Team (DST). This allocation, formalized through City Council Resolution No. 70,394-N.S. on May 31, 2022, allowed for negotiations to expand DST’s Clean Cities Program, which includes services such as hand sweeping, litter and leaf removal, graffiti abatement, and poster removal in commercial districts. On June 27, 2023, the Public Works Department entered into a new contract with DST, continuing these vital city maintenance services.
While the contract was successfully renewed, the Fall 2023 Status Report noted delays in expanding DST’s role to include accepting individuals performing community service as an alternative to paying fines and fees. Staff are focused on evaluating the full cost and operational needs for DST’s expanded role, including assessing whether third-party organizations like DST can issue citations for infractions.
As Phase 3 progresses, staff are requesting a carryforward of funds to allow for time to expand the DST contract further, with a particular focus on DST's capacity to accept community service referrals and support alternative sanction programs for low-level violations.

COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH, BEHAVIORAL, AND
CRISIS RESPONSE
YOUTH PEERS MENTAL HEALTH, BEHAVIORAL, AND CRISIS RESPONSE Department Lead: Health, Housing and Community Services Department Status Update: In Progress
Overview:
In 2023, Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD), in collaboration with the City of Berkeley Mental Health Division (BMHD), engaged RDA Consulting (RDA) to conduct a districtwide Mental Health Needs Assessment. The Berkeley High Wellness Center was established to address findings of the assessment, including the recommendation that BUSD place “a greater focus on student wellbeing and prevention focused interventions.” The Wellness Center had a soft opening at the start of the 2023-24 school year and a formal grand opening on December 2, 2023. This initiative aligns with the goals of Reimagining Public Safety Phase 2, focused on enhancing community well-being and addressing youth mental health needs.
The Wellness Center provides a dedicated space for
students to reset, recharge, and connect. It offers a
variety of supports to address key issues affecting
students, such as academic stress, anxiety, and mental
health concerns. Students can engage in self-directed
activities like journaling, coloring, and using therapeutic materials, participate in wellness groups, or receive
one-on-one check-ins with trained adults or peer
mentors. The Wellness Center is also a safe space
where students can access referrals to external mental
health services, if needed. In addition, Wellness Center staff serve as a trained Crisis Response Team, ready to handle urgent mental health needs and make
appropriate referrals for counseling.
The Wellness Center is led by a Mental Health & Wellbeing Coordinator, funded by a $350,000 investment from the City of Berkeley. She provides program supervision, management, and coordination within Berkeley High and with agency partners. She has over ten years of school-based experience. She is an alumna of the University of California Berkeley’s School of Education, Principal Leadership Institute.
Most recently, she was a vice principal at Oakland Technical High School. Prior to that position, she was a Resource Specialist, a Paraprofessional, and a Drug and Alcohol Counselor. The Coordinator role is essential to successfully operating the Wellness Center Monday – Friday during school hours. The Wellness Center is also staffed by two Restorative Justice Coordinators, and a team member supporting youth peer mental health programs. City of Berkeley Health Center staff have also been instrumental in
COMMUNITY INVESTMENTS

implementation and ensuring proper mental health
referrals are in place.
The center reached a broad and diverse population of
BHS students. (See Appendix I for BHS Wellness
Center’s Report). Between 12/4/23 and 5/31/24, the
center logged 1,120 visits from 380 individual students. 30% of these students identified as Black or African
American, 27% as White, 24% as Hispanic/Latino, 11% as
two or more races and 8% as Asian. 21% of students
who visited the center were enrolled in Special
Education, 8% had 504 Plans (require accommodations to meet their educational goals) and 5% were Emergent Bilingual (English Language Learners).
Students accessed the center for a range of reasons. The majority of contacts were due to stress-related issues; academic (27%) and/or personal (26%) stress and anxiety accounted for over half of the visits.
Other reasons included sadness/depression (9%), relationship/social issues (5%), grief/loss (1.4%), bullying (1%), racism/sexism/homophobia (0.5%) and other issues (15.2%). In about 14% of visits, students preferred not to state the reason for their visit. With all of the educational responsibilities that a large high school like Berkeley High carries, there is not necessarily a sufficient or consistent place or system for addressing the emotional lives of the ~3,200 teenagers. The center seeks to play a critical role in referring students with urgent and emergent issues to the care they need, including at the Berkeley High Health Center, and to supporting other students through challenging moments during their school days and providing them with the resources and tools they need to build their resilience, health and well-being.
As the Berkeley High School Wellness Center enters the 2024-2025 academic year, and the Reimagining Public Safety Initiatives progresses into Phase 3, a series of data-driven priorities and program enhancements have been identified to further improve student access and support services. Based on student engagement data from the 2023-2024 school year, the Wellness Center will focus on expanding outreach efforts and refining the delivery of services to better address evolving understanding of the needs of students, such as:
• Increase Student Outreach on Campus: The Wellness Center aims to enhance its visibility and accessibility by expanding its outreach initiatives on campus. This will involve proactive efforts to raise awareness about available services.
• Expand Family Engagement and Outreach: In addition to student-focused outreach, the center will prioritize increasing family engagement to better inform parents and guardians about the services provided. This will involve targeted communications and outreach efforts to ensure families are aware of how the Wellness Center supports their students. • Post-Wellness Center Engagement Data Collection: To assess the long-term impact of the services provided, the Wellness Center will begin tracking post-engagement outcomes for students who access its services.

Considerations:
• Coordination with the Berkeley High School Health Center: The BHS Health Center, operated by the mental health and public health divisions of HHCS, continues to provide first aid, mental health, youth development, and reproductive and sexual health services to students on campus. Wellness Center services are largely preventive in nature, but seamless referrals to the Health Center are critical for supporting students with more acute mental health needs.
Throughout the development and early implementation of the Wellness Center, the expertise of Health Center staff has played an important role in informing the service and support model at the Wellness Center.
• Expansion of Programming: Building upon the foundation of preventive and supportive services, there is a strategic plan to expand the Wellness Center's programming. This development aims to encompass a wider array of workshops, group activities, and individual supports tailored to the center’s evolving understanding of the needs of the student body.
Next Steps & Timelines:
• Fall 2024 – ongoing: The City of Berkeley and BUSD will continue to evaluate and expand the Wellness Center’s services. Staff will work to secure additional funding through FY 2025-2026, with the Wellness Center expected to evolve in response to student and community needs. The formal assessment will guide further program development and enhance mental health resources for Berkeley students.

RESPITE FROM GENDER VIOLENCE
RESPITE FROM GENDER VIOLENCE
Department Lead: Health, Housing and Community Services Department Status Update: In Progress
Overview:
In Phase 2, The Health, Housing, and Community Services (HHCS) Department has initiated a comprehensive analysis of the systems related to respite from gender violence and how these systems intersect with other crisis response mechanisms. As outlined in the Fall 2023 Status Report, this analysis aims to enhance the community’s awareness of available respite resources, identify current system strengths and challenges, and uncover gaps that need to be addressed. To spearhead this effort, a temporary Community Services Specialist II was hired in August 2023. The analysis also focuses on engaging impacted communities, service providers, City department leaders, and commissions to develop policy recommendations around domestic and gender-based violence. These draft recommendations, currently under review by key stakeholders, emphasize areas such as:
1. Financial independence for survivors,
2. Expansion of the Specialized Care Unit scope of work to include appropriate domestic disturbance interventions and calls for service,
3. City investment in Restorative Justice circle work as an alternative to court intervention
4. City investment in trauma-informed, non-carceral crisis response,
5. City investment in accessible and informational DV resource document available in a variety of languages.
Parallel to this initiative the Commission on the Status of Women (COSOW) put forth recommendations related to Public Safety and Crime Prevention for Women. The Assistant to the City Manager will work across departments to identify synergies between the recommendations concerning domestic and gender-based violence and those related to public safety and crime prevention for women.
Now in Phase 3, the focus has shifted toward refining the draft policy recommendations based on continued engagement with stakeholders. Ongoing collaboration with community members, service providers, and relevant City departments remains a priority to ensure the proposed solutions are both practical and aligned with the lived experiences of survivors. The draft recommendations are being reviewed by various commissions, including the Commission on the Status of Women and the Mental Health Commission, to ensure they are responsive to the needs of the community. The City is also evaluating the financial and operational requirements needed to implement these recommendations, including the potential expansion of the Specialized Care Unit and other key areas. Continued engagement and feedback are expected to shape the final recommendations and guide implementation efforts.

Fall 2023 –
Spring 2024
• Initial research on local, state, and federal resources begins, with ongoing evaluation of best practices informed by survivor-driven domestic violence solutions.
• Stakeholder engagement initiated through community-based needs assessments and internal-external meetings with service providers, city departments, the Commission on the Status of Women, and the Mental Health Commission to refine policy recommendations.
Phase 3
(2024-2026) Fall 2024
Continued stakeholder engagement, ongoing refinement of policy recommendations, and exploration of synergies with COSOW recommendations related to public safety and crime prevention for women.
Considerations:
• Community Collaboration: Ensuring that policy recommendations are responsive to the lived experiences and needs of survivors is essential. Ongoing collaboration with community partners, service providers, and stakeholders will help ensure that the evolving policies remain inclusive and aligned with community priorities.
• Funding and Sustainability: Successful implementation of the final recommendations will require both immediate and long-term funding. Short-term funding is needed to support initiatives such as the expansion of the Specialized Care Unit and the development of accessible domestic violence resources. Long-term funding will be necessary to sustain programs focused on survivor financial independence and trauma-informed, non-carceral crisis response. The City will explore grants, budget reallocations, and future allocations to support these efforts.
Next Steps & Timelines:
• Fall 2024 – ongoing: The Health, Housing, and Community Services Department will focus on finalizing stakeholder feedback to refine the policy recommendations for gender violence respite. This includes continued collaboration with community partners and City departments to ensure the recommendations are practical and aligned with community needs. Concurrently, the department will develop a funding strategy to support both immediate actions, such as expanding the Specialized Care Unit and creating accessible domestic violence resources, and long-term program sustainability. These efforts will be coordinated with broader public safety goals as part of the ongoing work in Phase 3 of the Reimagining Public Safety Initiative.

LANGUAGE EQUITY
LANGUAGE EQUITY
Department Lead: City Manager’s Office
Status Update: In Progress
Overview:
In Phase 2 of the Reimagining Public Safety initiative, the City Council allocated $15,000 to support the publication of resources for survivors of violence in plain language and multiple languages, both in print and digital formats. This funding is aimed at enhancing accessibility, ensuring that critical information and support services are available to all community members, including those with limited English proficiency and low literacy levels. This effort is in line with the recommendations from the Reimagining Public Safety Task Force Report and informed by Census Data analyzed by an Epidemiologist from the Public Health Officer’s Unit (e.g., of the 53,534 households in Berkeley, 4% are non-English speaking with limited English proficiency, with the majority speaking Asian and Pacific Island languages).
In 2024, following the approval of carryover funds through the Annual Appropriations Ordinance (AAO) process, the Assistant to the City Manager initiated coordination with the Health, Housing, and Community Services Department. This effort is led by the Community Services Specialist, who focuses on gender violence respite work, in partnership with the Assistant to the City Manager and the DEI Officer. Together, they are overseeing the translation and publication of victim resources and identifying additional resources for translation within the Reimagining Public Safety portfolio. Currently, the team is overseeing the translation and printing of the Specialized Care Unit brochure into the top non-English languages spoken in Berkeley (Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Tagalog) (See Appendix D).
Additionally, smaller print batches will be available upon request in other languages, including French (including Haitian and Cajun dialects), Arabic, German, Russian/Polish/Slavic, Farsi, and Hindi. The team is also awaiting final confirmation on the gender-based violence resource before proceeding with its translation. The goal is to complete these translations by the end of the calendar year.
As the initiative progresses into Phase 3, the DEI Officer will focus on identifying additional projects to enhance language equity. This will include exploring the possibility of conducting surveys to better understand the community's language needs and usage. This approach aims to ensure that resources are effectively tailored to meet the diverse linguistic needs of Berkeley's residents.

RECESS ITEM
CONSENT CALENDAR
May 14, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Carianna Arredondo, Assistant to the City Manager, Reimagining Public Safety
Subject: Grant Application: Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act (LEMWHA) Program Grant to support contract with the Public Safety Family Counseling Group (PSFG) for Crisis Intervention and Critical Incident Stress Management Services.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution ratifying the action taken by the City Manager during recess to submit a Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act (LEMWHA) FY 24 Program grant application in the amount up to $200,000, due April 30, 2024; to accept the grant; to execute any resultant revenue agreements and amendments; and authorizing the implementation of the project and appropriation of funding for related expenses, subject to securing the grant.
NEGATIVE EFFECT IF ACTION IS DELAYED UNTIL AFTER COUNCIL RECESS Delaying this action until after the Council recess could significantly hinder the City's ability to secure the grant funding. Given the competitive nature of the grant and the strict deadlines imposed by the funding agency, any delay risks missing the application deadline, thereby forfeiting potential financial support for crucial mental health initiatives within the law enforcement community. This could result in gaps in mental health support and wellness resources that are vital for the safety and effectiveness of the officers and the community they serve.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The Berkeley Police Department, with the support of the Reimagining Public Safety project coordinator, is applying for an amount up to $200,000, there is no requirement for matching funds, and this grant will have no impact on the City’s budget.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), a critical entity within the Department of Justice, enhances the capacity of America's police departments to
01
Grant Application: Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act (LEMWHA) CONSENT CALENDAR May 14, 2024
implement community policing through grants, resources, and information.1 These grants support the hiring of community policing professionals, the development of innovative policing strategies, and the delivery of training and technical assistance to community members, local government leaders, and law enforcement personnel at all levels.
Fiscal Year 2024 funds from the Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act (LEMHWA) Program are specifically allocated to enhance mental health and wellness services for law enforcement2. This includes funding initiatives such as peer support programs, training sessions, resources for families, suicide prevention initiatives, and other promising practices aimed at improving wellness. The objective is to expand knowledge, raise awareness of effective wellness strategies, improve skills and capabilities within law enforcement, and increase utilization of these practices across various agencies and stakeholders.
The Berkeley Police Department is currently pursuing LEMWHA funding to continue its successful collaboration with the Public Safety Family Counseling Group (PSFG). This partnership, initiated under the Reimagining Public Safety Phase 2 directives, focuses on Crisis Intervention and Critical Incident Stress Management Services. The collaboration has not only bolstered the department's response to crisis situations but has also strengthened the peer support network, crucial for supporting colleagues during critical incidents. Training sessions facilitated by the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation (ICISF) have equipped numerous department members with specialized skills in 'Assisting Individuals in Crisis and Group Crisis Intervention'. This training ensures that the Berkeley Police Department maintains high standards of peer support.
As the City approaches a new fiscal year, securing LEMWHA funding becomes essential to maintain and expand these critical services. This effort aligns with the City's Strategic Plan Goal to create a resilient, safe, connected, and prepared community, while also focusing on attracting and retaining a talented and diverse workforce. The ongoing funding support through LEMWHA is vital for the sustainability of these initiatives and the overall well-being of the police force and the community it serves.
BACKGROUND
As part of the City's ongoing commitment to the Reimagining Public Safety initiative, the City Council approved strategic funding allocations aimed at sustaining and enhancing public safety efforts

In 2024, the City of Berkeley entered into a partnership with California Consulting, LLC, under Contract No. 32400015, to augment the City's capabilities in grant application processes. This partnership aims to maximize the potential for securing additional funding to support public safety programs.
An additional $50,000 was approved for the same fiscal years to address the wellness needs of the Berkeley Police Department, supporting components such as the Critical Incident Stress Contract, the Peer Support Team, and other emerging wellness needs.
Utilizing the designated funds, the Berkeley Police Department established a partnership with the Public Safety Family Counseling Group, Inc. This collaboration, formalized under Contract No. 32300022, focuses on Crisis Intervention and Critical Incident Stress Management Services. Beyond crisis scenarios, this partnership enhances the department's peer support team by equipping members with the necessary training and tools to effectively support colleagues during challenging times.
As the initiative transitions into Phase 3, which aligns with the upcoming Fiscal Year 2025-2026 budget cycle yet to be adopted, securing further grants remains a critical priority. This continued funding will support the expansion of current initiatives and the introduction of new programs under the initiative's next phase, ensuring the safety and well-being of both the community and law enforcement personnel.

CONSENT CALENDAR
July 9, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Carianna Arredondo, Assistant to the City Manager, Reimagining Public Safety
Subject: Grant Application: Bureau of Justice Assistance Body-Worn Camera Policy and Implementation Program to Support Law Enforcement Agencies
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit a grant application to the federal Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) in an amount not to exceed $300,000 for the Body-Worn Camera Policy and Implementation Program.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
There are sufficient funds in the General Fund (011-71-705-820-0000-000-421-666110) allocation to accommodate the 50% match of this grant. This allocation can be used to leverage grant opportunities such as the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) grant program that require local matching funds. If awarded, the BJA grant program will reimburse the City up to 50% of the total project cost.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) a critical entity within the Department of Justice, plays a pivotal role in strengthening the nation's criminal justice system. The BJA assists state, local, and tribal jurisdictions in reducing and preventing crime, decreasing recidivism, and promoting a fair and safe criminal justice system. BJA's efforts encompass a broad spectrum of resources, including training and technical assistance, to support law enforcement, courts, corrections, treatment, reentry, justice information sharing, and community-based partners. These initiatives are aimed at addressing both chronic and emerging criminal justice challenges across the nation.
Fiscal Year 2024 funds from the Body-Worn Camera Policy and Implementation Program are specifically allocated to support the purchase and lease of body-worn cameras (BWCs) by publicly funded law enforcement and corrections agencies. These funds are intended to aid comprehensive BWC programs. Additionally, the program seeks to support demonstration projects that advance digital evidence management, utilizing BWC digital footage to foster evidence-based and procedurally just practices in agencies with established BWC programs.
Grant Application: Bureau of Justice Assistance Body-Worn Camera Policy and Implementation Program to Support Law Enforcement Agencies CONSENT CALENDAR July 9, 2024
Body-worn cameras have become the industry standard in policing, and there is broad support for their use in the City of Berkeley. These cameras provide crucial evidence in police investigations and enhance accountability for all parties involved in community- police interactions. Studies have consistently shown that the use of body-worn cameras leads to a significant reduction in citizen complaints and use-of-force incidents.
The Berkeley Police Department is seeking to pursue this funding to continue its successful BWC program and maintenance. By doing so, the department aims to sustain and expand its efforts to promote transparency, accountability, and public trust in its operations.
BACKGROUND
On June 27, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 68,060—NS, in accordance with the requirements of City Charter Article XI, Section 67.2. This resolution approved the National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance (National IPA) bid procedures and authorized the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contract, including any necessary amendments, to equip the Berkeley Police Department with body-worn camera (BWC) equipment, software, and services from Axon Enterprises. The contract, capped at $1,250,000 over five years, was designed to enhance the department’s transparency and accountability.
Following the adoption of this resolution, the City of Berkeley entered into Contract No. 10662 with Axon Enterprises to purchase and lease BWCs. This contract marked a significant step in the City's efforts to modernize its policing tools and promote community trust. In 2023, the City entered into a subsequent contract with Axon Enterprises under Contract No. 32400001, further reinforcing its commitment to maintaining an effective BWC program.
In alignment with the City's ongoing commitment to the Reimagining Public Safety initiative, the City Council approved strategic funding allocations to sustain and enhance public safety efforts. For fiscal years 2023 and 2024, a total of $100,000 was allocated under the Grant Assistance effort. This funding is a critical component of the City's long- term strategy for safety and community welfare. The Assistant to the City Manager, serving as the Reimagining Public Safety Project Coordinator, oversees the management of these funds within the City Manager’s Office.
In 2024, the City of Berkeley formed a partnership with California Consulting, LLC, under Contract No. 32400015. This partnership aims to bolster the City's grant application processes, thereby maximizing the potential for securing additional funding to support and expand public safety programs. The collaboration is part of a broader effort to ensure that the City can continue to invest in initiatives that promote public safety and community well-being.
