Project Description
Our unique project will serve as a model to other agencies. We have a two-tier component: Education and Enforcement. For the education component (first tier), we will train our officers on how to detect signs of impairment for DUl or DUID offenses. This involves sending our officers to SFST and ARIDE courses. Not too many agencies have DRE-trained officers; we will change that narrative by sending two of our officers to DRE school. These DRE-trained officers will serve as the department expert on DUI/DUID behavior for years to come. We would also like to be self-sufficient and be able to train our officers, internally, by our own instructors by having our officers (3) SFST instructor trained. This will save the city and its citizens significant money.
For the enforcement component (second tier) we plan on deploying, during peak DUI/DUID hours, a team of two officers who will concentrate their efforts on investigating DUI/DUI related incidents. The DUI/DUI team will respond to all traffic-related collisions during their shift and investigate the driver for any possible signs of DUI/DUl influence.
Problem Statement & Proposed Solution
The city of Calexico, located in Imperial County, California, serves as the second largest International Border gateway from Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico to California. In fact, Mexicali has a thriving population of 1,160,000 million. In the evening and early morning hours, U.S. citizens and others gravitate towards the night life Mexicali offers. For example, Mexicali is well known for its solid density of bars and other lawful (and unlawful) establishments that offer alcoholic beverages and marijuana at discounted prices. These places of entertainment and opportunity are conveniently located either a block or a few blocks south of the border.
That means U.S. motorists entering Mexicali for the night life, will drive back into America a short time thereafter; preferably sober. Unfortunately, hoping a motorist enters the U.S. sober and travels safely through our small border town of under 39,000 people is not a viable strategy. Based on the Department of Transportation (Bureau of Statistics), we average 4,919,857 passenger vehicle crossings each year; that makes an average of 13,666 vehicles entering Calexico each day. The probability of an impaired driver using one of the 13,666 vehicles that cross daily into our city is not available, but the possibilities should be alarming.
Our small border town was discussed in a reputable and national journal of medicine and that demands attention. According to a 12-year study published by the National Library of Medicine: Proximity to the Southern Border and Sociodemographic Correlates of Drinking and Driving Arrests in California (2020), the city of Calexico was named one of six border cities included in the research (p.4). The study found that "as the density of bars and pubs increased, DUl arrest rates increased more rapidly..." and "overall outlet densities and the percent of bars and pubs (5% increase in arrest rate with a 1% increase in bars/pubs) were directly related to DUI arrest rates (p.7)." Simply put, sharing a border that has a large arrangement of bars and night life with alcohol and marijuana opportunities, creates a sobriety crisis.
The sobriety crisis is not only limited to motorists entering Calexico through the International Border. Calexico currently holds 57% of all licensed marijuana dispensaries in the Imperial County (8 out of 14). These retailers are licensed under the Department of Cannabis Control and are required to contribute to the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program. And not only is Calexico an international gateway to Mexico where there is a thriving night life where alcohol and drugs are abused; the city's roadways are used to travel to 57% of licensed dispensaries where marijuana is sold and/or ingested.
Schedule A
A lack of SFST training is an issue at the Calexico PD. Due to a lack of funding in the training budget, most Calexico PD officers have not been to SFST school. Sending officers to SFST or related schools require those officers to be backfilled by officers replacing them on overtime while they train. That brings to issue that there is no surprise most of our 23 officers have not been able to attend SFST school; and that is why no officers have attended ARIDE, DRE, or SFST instructor school. A lack of training equates to an inability to assess a driver for impairment. In FY 2008/2009, when we had more SFST trained officers and even without a DUI campaign, we made 158 DUl-related arrests, whereas more than 12 years later without barely any officers SFST trained (FY 2020/2021 and FY 2021/2022) we made only 37 and 27 arrests (respectively). During a DUI campaign when officers are SFST trained and when we have the financial resources from the state of California, the Calexico PD can make a significant number of DUI/DUID arrests; in FY 2009/2010, we made 214 DUI/DUID-related arrests.

Project Activity #1 - Train and Educate 48% of Calexico PD Officers in DUI/DUID Detection Summary:
By June 30, 2024, 48% (11) of Calexico PD officers will have recently completed the SFST course, 44% (10) will have completed the ARIDE course, the DUI/DUID investigator and another officer will have completed the SFST instructor and DRE course, and a third officer will have completed the SFST instructor course. Also, by June 30, 2024, the DUI/DUID investigator will have completed the basic and intermediate traffic collision course. Once properly trained, during traffic enforcement stops, 48% of officers will be able to better detect signs of DUI/DUID impairment and be able to successfully assist with criminal prosecution. With officers still having difficulty detecting or investigating others for signs of impairment, our project of sending a select few of officers to DRE and SFST instructor school allows our investigator and officers to gain expert knowledge and training to assist and mentor struggling officers in a real-life environment.
Below, are specific objectives with deadlines.
• During Quarter One (Q1), July 1 - September 30, we will send one officer to the SFST course and five officers to the ARIDE course
• During Q2 (October 1 - December 31) we will send one officer to the DRE course, two officers to the ARIDE course, and send four more officers to the SFST course. • During Q3 (January 1 - March 31), we will send two officers to the ARIDE course, two officers to the DRE course, and three officers to the SFST course.
• During Q4 (April 1 - June 30), we will send one officer and two officers to the SFST instructor course, and three officers to the SFST course.
Project Activity #2 - Conduct Impairment Evaluation on Drivers in 7% of all Traffic Collisions Summary:
The DUI/DUID Task Force Officers (2) will work DUI/DUID Saturation Patrol detail on an overtime basis, during peak traffic collision, and DUI/DUID periods on a rotational basis to include: Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, between 1700 - 0300.
During any impairment evaluation on the roadway, we will use traffic cones to prevent motorists and pedestrians from entering the evaluation zone.
The reason why DUI/DUI Saturation Patrol task force officers will be responding to all traffic collisions and evaluating drivers for impairment is because there is a nexus between DUI/DUID behavior and a DUI/DUID driver not being able to control the vehicle safely. In POST certified DUI/DUID training, we are taught that every traffic stop can be a DUI/DUID investigation. The officer is always looking for signs of impairment, whether this be a HGN/VGN Test or a glance at someone's eyes. Not everyone contacted in a collision is going to experience SFSTs; what we will do is look for preliminary signs of alcohol or drug consumption while operating a vehicle and if there are signs that warrant a SFST, then we will proceed from there.
By dedicating staff to respond to all traffic collisions, our staff will gain DUI/DUID expertise through their field experience evaluating motorists for impairment and learning the nexus between impaired driving and traffic Schedule A
collisions irrespective of the time of day. Also, by deploying our staff during peak DUI/DUID periods, the likelihood of encountering a DUI/DUID driver increases. Both efforts will assist in educating the public that it does not matter the time of day, if you drive impaired, there are legal repercussions.
As a note, our performance measures include "evaluate for impairment." This practice refers to checking the driver for objective signs of alcohol or drug consumption that causes impairment. An evaluation can consist of limiting the evaluation to looking at someone's eyes to see if they are blood shot or watery and does not involve a complete SFST evaluation unless the circumstances dictate otherwise (i.e., driver has blood shoot watery eyes, slurred speech, and a strong odor of marijuana or alcohol emits from their breath).
Below, are specific deadlines:
• During Q1, DUI/DUID Saturation Patrol detail (during work hours), as an aggregate, will evaluate for impairment on drivers in at least 5% of all traffic collisions. • During Q2, DUI/DUID Saturation Patrol detail (during work hours), as an aggregate, will evaluate for impairment on drivers in at least 5% of all traffic collisions. • During Q3, DUI/DUID Saturation Patrol detail (during work hours), as an aggregate, will evaluate for impairment on drivers in at least 5% of all traffic collisions.
During Q4, DUI/DUID Saturation Patrol detail (during work hours), as an aggregate, will evaluate for impairment on drivers in at least 5% of all traffic collisions.
Project Activity # 3 - Through Public Education and Awareness, Reduce DUI/DUID injury and fatal collisions by 5%
Summary:
On days the DUI/DUID Patrol detail are on duty, they will place the new solar-powered traffic message board trailer near the entrance to Mexico that warns of impaired driving and the penalties. The designated person trained in effective social media postings will notify the public and the newspaper of upcoming DUI/DUID patrols and of the penalties, as well as make social media posts regarding recent impaired driving evaluations or arrests.
We anticipate the funding will include one patrol detail; if not, we cannot participate in this grant. We do not have enough patrol vehicle for these types of OT assignments. The patrol vehicle will be a marked black and white police vehicle and have signage like "DUI/DUID Task Force," "Drive Sober," and "Report Intoxicated Drivers." The vehicles will be large (Chevy Tahoe) to accommodate stickers and other appropriate signage and have the capability to tow a trailer that has a public message board.
The signage and presence of a DUI Task Force vehicle will educate those who see the patrol vehicles and its signage that there is an immediate response and legal consequences for impaired driving. Moreover, the signage of "DUID" will spark interest and may invite a member of the public or even a student, to ask what the "D" in DUID represents.
Here are specific deadlines.
Notwithstanding dealership delays or installer delays, the DUI/DUID Task Force vehicle will be available during Q1.
Project Activity #4 - Conduct DUI/DUID Enforcement with 18 DUI/DUID Saturation Patrols In a 12-month period, the Calexico PD will conduct a total of 12 DUI/DUID Saturation Patrols: one day per month alternating on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings (12) and one day every two months alternating on Friday and Saturday evenings (6). The DUI/DUID Saturation Patrol detail will consist of two partnered officers, on overtime, that will be assigned to the detail between 1700 - 0300 hours. Sign-up preference will be given to officers who have completed the SFST and ARIDE course or those who need the field experience to complete the DRE certification or SFST instructor course.
The DUI/DUID Saturation Patrol detail will be responsible for patrolling and enforcing the California Vehicle Code on all roadways, public throughways, public parking area, or public lands located within the incorporated portions of Calexico. Inside anywhere within the Calexico city limits, the officers assigned on overtime on the Schedule A
DUI/DUID Saturation Patrol, will respond to all requests by any law enforcement agencies or members of the public needing a driver evaluated for DUI/DUID impairment. During times officers assigned on overtime on the DUI/DUID Saturation Patrol are on duty, these officers will extend their patrol to S/B State Route 111 traffic from Interstate 8 and include the US/Mexico Port of Entry.
Drivers found to be impaired will be placed under arrest for DUI/DUID and processed and their vehicles will be stored. To accommodate drivers of a variety of disabilities and sizes, we will be able to accommodate them and their personal belongings using a larger patrol unit (with the purchase of a Chevy Tahoe). The larger interior capacity of the Chevy Tahoe will also allow us to better comply with COVID-19 guidelines set forth by CDC that require social distancing. Secondly, the Chevy Tahoe has more crush space then the vehicles on our current fleet (during a frontal or rear-end collision). This allows officers to safely park or stop on busy roadways while monitoring for impaired driving behaviors.
The DUI/DUID officers will patrol the riverbanks in Calexico where alcoholic beverage containers are commonly found near those using a vehicle to arrive and depart from fishing areas (All American Canal and Imperial Irrigation District waterways). Patrolling for impaired drivers, the DUI/DUID investigator and DUI/DUID Saturation Patrol officers will patrol public dirt property lots and dirt roadways leading to (and adjacent to) the Mexico International Border Fence.
Through all these enforcement efforts and extra patrol, the project is supported and enhanced because the public will see a greater presence of officers whose specific objective is to locate impaired drivers and assist in DUI/DUID prosecution; because of this, they are likely to drive sober. Simply put, the greater presence of DUI/DUID-tasked officers equates to a higher probability of being detected by law enforcement.
Project Performance Evaluation
Project Activity #1
Project Activity #1 involves training and educating 48% of Calexico PD Officers in DUI/DUID Detection. By the end of each quarter, the grant manager will provide a spread sheet of the name of the officer, the name of the course, the number of hours completed, the name of the presenter, the course completion date, and the total number of officers that have completed each specific course. This reporting procedure will reach internal stakeholders (the Calexico PD, the City of Calexico, and the California Highway Patrol (State of California).
Through our grant administrator, at the end of each quarter, we will publish on social media and to the local media outlets how many officers have completed the SFST, ARIDE, DRE, SFST instructor; and we will discuss how the completion of these courses will give officers the confidence they need to evaluate drivers for impairment. This publication will reach external stakeholders.
Project Activity #2
Project Activity #2 involves conducting impairment evaluations on drivers in 5% of all traffic collisions. The [State of California]). The statistical data will also be based on the DUI/DUID Task Force officers) on each shift, documenting on an attestation form, the number of collisions they responded to and the number of driver impairment evaluations they conducted.
Through our grant administrator, at the end of each quarter, we will publish on social media and to the local media outlets, statistical data for each quarter on the number of traffic collisions that were reported to the Calexico PD while the DUI/DUID Task Force officers were on duty and how many times a DUI/DUID detail officer responded to the scene and evaluated the driver for impairment. This publication procedure will reach external stakeholders.
Project Activity # 3
Project Activity # 3 involves public education and awareness and reducing DUI/DUID injury and fatal collisions by 5% in Calexico. At the end of each quarter, the grant manager provide data on a spread sheet that shows the number of DUI/DUID-related collisions, injury and fatal, including the number of DUI arrests. This Schedule A
reporting procedure will reach internal stakeholders (the Calexico PD, the City of Calexico, and the California Highway Patrol [State of California]). Through our grant manager, at the end of each quarter, we will publish on social media and to the local media outlets the same information to external stakeholders that we share with internal stakeholders.
Project Activity #4
Project Activity #4 involves conducting DUI/DUID enforcement. At the end of each quarter (Q1-Q4), the grant manager will provide a statistical report that includes the following:
• The number of traffic enforcement stops made in each quarter • The number of impairment evaluations made in each quarter • The number of impairment evaluation requests made in each quarter • The number of DUI/DUID related arrests made in each quarter • The number of other arrests made in each quarter
• The number of traffic citations issued in each quarter • Case disposition (filed with DA, conviction, pending, etc.....) • Overtime slips made in each quarter
The above statistical data will be based on the DUI/DUID Task Force officers) on each shift, documenting on an attestation form, the number of traffic stops, impairment evaluations, impairment evaluation requests, DUI/DUID related arrests made, other arrests made, the total number of arrests made, and the total number of traffic citations issued. Through the grant manager, internal and external stakeholders will receive the results of this data through social media and through a report; except external stakeholders will not receive copies of the overtime slips (absent a public record request).
At the end of each quarter, the grant manager will provide a statistical report of our progress. Through the grant manager, internal and external stakeholders will receive the results of this data through social media and through a report; except, external stakeholders (absent a public record request) will not receive copies of the overtime slips, the warrant list, names of officers involved in the details), and the names of people identified in court as being a Calexico resident (to avoid "vigilante justice").
Program Sustainability
One of the main goals of our participation in this grant is to develop some of our officers as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in DUI/DUID investigations and to develop them as being competent to handle a DUI/DUID related case. Officers investigating or preparing a DUI/DUID case for trial will have confidence in consulting with the SME since the DUI/DUID investigator has developed expertise through intensive full-time (field) practice over the course of 12 months (and counting). Our trained officer will continue to use our expertise beyond the FY 2023/2024 grant period to lead non-grant funded DUI/DUID operations.
Three of our officers will be assigned to the SFST instructor course. As part of the FTP (Field Training Program) for new officers, the officer would be trained and paired with one of the SFST instructors; this will reduce the need for the Calexico PD to depend on grants to pay for DUI/DUID training. As for the remaining Calexico PD officers that need a SFST refresher course or that will not be able to attend SFST during the FY 2023/2024 grant period, the SFST instructors can conduct internal training.
As for the patrol unit requests, each patrol car with its signage serves as a force multiplier for years to come; that multiplier being that there is a sworn police officer driving this vehicle and that the officer has the resources and capabilities to investigate you immediately for impaired driving. Most Calexico PD patrol units have a service life of 3 years (it would be longer, but we are in a desert environment); therefore, the message lives past and is sustained beyond the expiration of FY 2023/2024. Also, the two patrol units will be used past the grant period for non-grant funded DUI/DUID operations.
To incentive officers past the performance period (after FY 2023/2024) and to continue to use what they have learned during the SFST course and/or related courses, we will participate in the San Diego chapter of MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) and assign one of the (yearly) top performing officers to the new DUI Task Force patrol car. Preferably this officer would have completed the ARIDE or DRE course and have demonstrated their commitment to removing impaired drivers off the road.
Schedule A
Administrative Support
The Calexico PD can support this grant based on current staffing levels and based on previous performance.
In the past, our Acting Chief of Police and two sergeants have experiencing monitoring and providing performance measures to a government agency. For example, we are currently a partner in the Stonegarden grant program. We have both sergeants who have experiencing monitoring and providing performance measures for Operation Stonegarden (Department of Homeland Security grant). Both sergeants have been properly supervised by our current Acting Chief of Police. For this Cannabis Grant, the grant manager that will be assigned to manage the program is a current sworn officer with the Calexico PD and who has more than five years of supervision experience, along with a master's degree in Public Administration (MPA).
During the MPA program, our grant manager studied the process of collecting, analyzing and/or reporting information regarding the performance of an individual, group, organization, system, or component.
Additionally, our grant manager, who will be overseen by our Acting Chief of Police, attended a 2-day grant workshop in 2014 that included the importance of pertormance measures.
On or about FY 2009/2010, the Calexico PD was awarded the "Avoid the 10" grant where the goal was to increase DUl entorcement activity. During the grant period, the Calexico PD reduced injury-related traffic collisions by -16.66% and made a +35.44 % increase in the number of DUl arrests (from 158 per year to 214).
Other than the need for a new patrol unit, a traffic sign, cones, the Calexico PD does not need any additional physical resources to execute the grant.

Budget Narrative
Calexico Police Department
This involves the total cost to send 11 officers to the SFST course. Attending a SFST course is necessary because the skills taught will help officers identify impaired drivers. To base the mileage, we will use a roundtrip of Calexico and Sacramento (1,220 miles X 0.65.5 IRS rate per mile = $799.10). We will send a total of 11 officers ($799.10 X 11 officers = $8,790.10). The travel per diem rate is $45 per day. For 11 officers attending two days of class, the total per diem cost is $990 (11 officers X $45 X 2 days). Hotel costs will be an average of $200 per night. The ARIDE Training - Attend Travel
$5,699.10
Attending an ARIDE course is necessary because the skills taught will help officers identify impaired drivers. Here are our calculations. To base the mileage, we will use a roundtrip of Calexico and Sacramento (1,220 miles X
0.65.5 IRS rate per mile = $799.10). We will send a total of 10 officers ($799.10 X 10 officers = $7,991.00). The travel per diem rate is $45 per day. For 10 officers attending two days of class, the total per diem cost is $900 (10 officers X $45 X 2 days). Hotel costs will be an average of $200 per night. The lodging cost to send 10 officers is $4,000 (10 officers X $200 X 2 nights).
DRE Training - Attend Travel
$8,098.20
Attending a DRE course is necessary because the skills taught will help officers identify impaired drivers in situations where it is difficult to determine impairment. Here are our calculations. To base the mileage, we will use a roundtrip of Calexico and Sacramento (1,220 miles X 0.65.5 IRS rate per mile = $799.10). We will send a total of 2 officers ($799.10 X 2 officers = $1,598.20). The travel per diem rate is $45 per day. For 2 officers attending 10 days of class, the total per diem cost is $900 (2 officers X $45 X 10 days). Hotel costs will be an average of $200 per night. The lodging cost to send 2 officers is $5,600 (2 officers X $200 per night X 14 nights).
SFST Instructor Training - Attend Travel
$6,072.30
Attending a SFST instructor course is necessary because the skills taught will help create a pool of in-house DUI/DUID instructors who can train officers in DUI/DUID detection without us having to send officers out on training.
Here are our calculations. To base the mileage, we will use a roundtrip of Calexico and Sacramento (1,220 miles X
0.65.5 IRS rate per mile = $799.10). We will send a total of 3 officers ($799.10 X 3 officers = $2,397.30). The travel per diem rate is $45 per day. For 3 officers attending 5 days of class, the total per diem cost is $675 (3 officers X $45 X 5 days). Hotel costs will be an average of $200 per night. The lodging cost to send 3 officers is $3,000 (3 officers X $200 per night X 5 nights).

DUI/DUID Task Force Vehicle
A new DUI/DUID Task Force Vehicle is necessary because the Calexico PD does not have the resources to designate a patrol vehicle for specific DUI/DUID patrols. All patrol vehicles in our fleet are already shared by 2-4 officers and are only designated for patrol. These vehicles also cannot continue to collect miles and wear and tear since we need them for many years to come. Also, if we are not granted a vehicle, we are not able to conduct DUI/DUID specific patrols. Based on availability and the bidding process, the purchase of one 2024 Chevy Tahoe PPV DUI/DUID Task Force Vehicle is $68,500.00. The total cost is based on the following. The base price per Tahoe is $68,500. Base price includes the vehicle and taxes and delivery fees.
