Project Description
The proposed project involves applying for and receiving equipment to assist officers in efficiently and accurately enforcing driving impairment laws and investigating and documenting injury collisions relating to drug-impaired driving. Overall, the proposed project represents a proactive approach to enhancing traffic safety and combating impaired driving within the community. This comprehensive strategy aligns with the department's commitment to protecting public safety and reducing the incidence of impaired driving-related incidents on the roads.
Acquiring specialized equipment that will improve efficiency in the field, ensure precise documentation of drug-impaired driver collisions, and enhance officer safety during on-scene investigations. This equipment will support solid case preparation for successful prosecution.
Proposed Equipment -
New Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) Devices
• Modern PAS devices for impaired driver detection.
• Portable and user-friendly design for roadside use.
• Enhanced accuracy to differentiate between low and high levels of impairment. • Connectivity for data upload and storage to streamline evidence collection for prosecution.
Tonneau Cover for DUI Enforcement Patrol Vehicle
During DUI saturation patrols and callouts for major DUI/DUID collisions, officers depend on specialized equipment that must be quickly deployed to ensure effective operations. This includes PAS devices, portable lights, field sobriety kits, measuring tools, and safety gear.
To maintain readiness and to protect these critical tools, it is essential to stage the equipment within the DUI saturation vehicle, ensuring it remains secure, organized, and shielded from environmental factors. Adding a tonneau cover to the vehicle protects from weather conditions, equipment is secured and enhances accessibility when needed.
Truck Bed Slide For DUI Enforcement Patrol Vehicle
The truck bed slide will significantly enhance the organization, accessibility and longevity of DUI/DUID investigation equipment and major DUI/DUID collision investigation equipment stored in the vehicle. This sliding platform allows for easy retrieval of tools, gear, and supplies without the need to climb into the truck bed, reducing strain on Officers and improving efficiency. By providing a structured storage solution, the truck bed slide helps keep DUI/DUID investigation equipment and major DUI/DUID collision investigation equipment secure and minimizes the risk of damage or loss during transport. Additionally, it increases workflow efficiency by ensuring that all necessary equipment is readily accessible, ultimately improving productivity and safety for personnel utilizing the vehicle.
Conclusion
This project will significantly enhance officers' capabilities and efficiency in handling major DUI/DUID collision investigations, conduct more DUI saturation patrols, improve prosecution outcomes, and ensure the safety of law enforcement personnel while investigating drug-impaired collisions. With precise documentation and strong evidence collection, cases will stand up to legal challenges, increasing conviction rates for drugimpaired driving collisions.

Problem Statement & Proposed Solution
Impaired driving—whether due to alcohol, drugs, or both—is a significant and preventable threat to public safety. It often results in severe consequences, including collisions, injuries, and fatalities. In 2023, the Emeryville Police Department investigated one fatal collision caused by a drug-impaired driver (DUID), which led to prosecution by the District Attorney's Office.
Emeryville's unique geography and community characteristics compound the challenges of combating impaired driving:
• Four active cannabis businesses, including a smoking lounge located near alcohol-serving establishments.
• Its position as a commuter hub between Oakland and Berkeley, intersected by the I-80 corridor. • A population of 12,000 residents (many underserved) and a daytime business/manufacturing population estimated at 40,000.
Proactive measures are essential to address these challenges and ensure safer roadways for all.
Goals
1. Reduce incidents of impaired driving through education, enforcement, and community engagement.
2. Enhance officer efficiency, effectiveness, and safety in impaired driving enforcement.
3. Foster community trust and collaboration to address impaired driving comprehensively.
Proposed Solutions
1. Public Education and Awareness
• Conduct in-person presentations at schools, community centers, and public events on the dangers of impaired driving and its consequences.
• Partner with local businesses to display warning materials about the effects of alcohol and drug use on driving abilities.
• Collaborate with community organizations to raise awareness through campaigns like Know Your Limit.
2. Strengthened Enforcement
• Deploy marked, highly visible traffic enforcement vehicles dedicated to DUI/DUID enforcement. • Equip officers with advanced tools such as portable breath testers, field drug-testing kits, 3D scanner systems, and drone technology to enhance scene investigation and accurate documentation for future prosecution.
Increase officer training in Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) and drug recognition expertise.
3. Community Engagement
• Host events such as Coffee with a Cop, National Night Out, and Know Your Limit campaigns to facilitate face-to-face conversations with residents.
• Engage city leaders in discussions about traffic safety priorities and shared responsibilities in combating impaired driving.
Requested Equipment
1: New Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) Devices
• Modern PAS devices for impaired driver detection.
• Portable and user-friendly design for roadside use.
• Enhanced accuracy to differentiate between low and high levels of impairment. • Connectivity for data upload and storage to streamline evidence collection for prosecution.

Implementation Plan
1. Education and Awareness Campaign: Launch a citywide initiative targeting schools, businesses, and community events.
2. Training and Equipment Deployment: Provide specialized training to officers and integrate new tools into enforcement operations.
By integrating these strategies and resources, the Emeryville Police Department will not only combat impaired driving more effectively but also set a strong example of proactive, community-oriented policing.

(20) DUI Saturation Patrols: (Q1=5, Q2=5, Q3=5, Q4=5) Our goal is to reduce the number of impaired drivers in the City of Emeryville by 5%, which will improve overall community safety from impaired drivers. (15) Dedicated traffic enforcement: Our goal is to reduce impaired driving, injury, and non-injury traffic collisions, and improve pedestrian and bicycle safety. We aim to achieve a 5% reduction in these incidents, thereby enhancing roadway safety for all who travel within the city. To support this goal, DUI saturation patrols and Primary Collision Factor (PCF) saturation patrols will be conducted quarterly to identify and deter impaired drivers. Patrol targets for each quarter are as follows: Q1 – 3 patrols, Q2 – 4 patrols, Q3 – 4 patrols, and Q4 – 4 patrols.
(9) Educational Presentations: EPD officers will engage with the community at events such as Coffee with a Cop, National Night Out, and other city events throughout the year. With each event, EPD officers aim to raise awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving and emphasize how little alcohol and drugs it takes to reach the legal limit. The primary goal is to educate the public on the effects of alcohol and drugs so they can make informed decisions before choosing to drive. The department plans to conduct the following number of presentations: Q1=3, Q2 = 2, Q3 = 2, and Q4 = 2.
Our overall goal is to increase impaired driving awareness, reduce impaired driving, make impaired driving arrests, reduce traffic collisions, and improve road safety for all citizens in the city of Emeryville.
As a smaller department with limited resources, acquiring advanced technology and equipment is essential to achieving our goals of improving public safety and enhancing the efficiency of DUI collision investigations.
The following equipment will assist our department in conducting proper, accurate, and efficient investigations, ultimately strengthening cases for prosecution:

New PAS Devices goals:
• Provides modern, reliable tools for accurate alcohol detection during field sobriety tests, improving enforcement outcomes and ensuring reliable data collection during DUI investigations. • Our goal is to deploy newly acquired Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) devices into the field as soon as they are received and ensure they are readily accessible to officers. These devices will directly support DUI investigations by providing quick, on-scene breath alcohol analysis to help identify impaired drivers.
Tonneau Cover for DUI Saturation Vehicle:
• Protects sensitive equipment such as PAS devices, field sobriety kits, and portable lighting from theft and weather damage, ensuring readiness for any operation and protecting valuable resources. The tonneau cover will be added to the previous vehicle awarded from the CHP Cannabis 2024/2025 grant.
Truck Bed Slide For DUI Enforcement Patrol Vehicle
• Enhance the organization and accessibility of equipment stored in the vehicle. • The structured storage solution with the bed slide will help keep items secure and minimize the risk of damage or loss during transport.
• Increases workflow efficiency by ensuring that all necessary equipment is readily accessible. • Truck bed slide will be added to the DUI Enforcement Vehicle awarded from the CHP Cannabis 2024/2025 grant.
Anticipated Outcomes
During this current grant cycle, we have experienced (4) DUI-related injury collisions and (1) DUI-related fatal collision. Based on our current trend, we are anticipating to exceed the FY 23/24 injury related DUI collisions.
In addition, we have a 100% increase in DUI related fatal collisions as compared to FY 23/24 grant period. • Reduction in Impaired Driving Incidents: Our goal is to reduce our DUI-related fatal collisions from 1 to zero, in addition to reducing our DUI-related injury traffic collisions. This will be accomplished through a combination of targeted enforcement, public education, and community outreach campaigns.
• Improved Community Trust: Enhanced collaboration between the department and residents, leading to a shared commitment to roadway safety.
• Increased Officer Efficiency: Streamlined investigations and improved prosecution success rates through accurate documentation and advanced tools.
• Enhanced Public Safety: Safer roadways for residents, workers, and visitors in Emeryville.
Project Performance Evaluation
The project’s performance evaluation will be data-driven, utilizing our CAD system to track and measure the effectiveness of the newly acquired technology and equipment. We will apply the same tracking and officer accountability measures used for OTS (Office of Traffic Safety) grants, ensuring consistency and reliability in our reporting.
Key performance indicators will include:
• Impaired Driver Arrests: Tracking the number of impaired drivers arrested. • Warrant Arrests for Impaired Drivers: Monitoring the number of warrant arrests related to impaired driving.
• Traffic Enforcement: Recording the number of direct traffic enforcement citations and stops made. • Community Events: Summarizing and documenting community events throughout the year, which are regularly posted on social media platforms and within department records.
Evaluation and Reporting: Monitor program outcomes through metrics such as DUI/DUID arrests, collision statistics, and community feedback.
This data will allow us to assess the effectiveness of our operations, measure the impact on impaired drivers within the city, and evaluate the sustainability of each enforcement detail. Through this ongoing review process, we will ensure that our efforts are making a measurable difference in public safety and DUI enforcement.

Program Sustainability
The project performance evaluation will be data-driven from our CAD system. We will use the same tracking and officer accountability measures used when collecting data for OTS grants. These will consist of recording/reporting on the number of arrests of impaired drivers, warrant arrests for impaired drivers, direct traffic enforcement citations/stops, and summaries of our community events during the year. Our community events are posted on social media platforms weekly and are documented within the department. From this information, we will be able to review the effectiveness of our operations, their impact on impaired drivers within the city, and the sustainability of each enforcement detail.
We will continue to implement the "Safe System" approach. The Safe System approach has several key elements such as safe speeds, safe street design, safer people, Safe vehicles and post crash care. With ongoing community events and meetings with city leaders, we can discuss and implement these strategies for the City of Emeryville. This can reduce impaired driving, injury collisions, and increase roadway safety.
With ongoing roadway development, increased housing, expanding businesses, and an increasing population, we foresee a 2 to 3-year plan to analyze our data to gauge our success, possible shortcomings, what worked well, and any improvement needs. It is projected that the City of Emeryville will increase the residential population by 5,000 residents by 2028. Emeryville is a bicycle and pedestrian friendly community. The increase in residents has the potential to have a negative impact to our bicycle and pedestrian community.
Administrative Support
The Emeryville Police Department has consistently applied for and have been awarded grant funding in the past from several Federal, State, and Local agencies. The Emeryville Police Department has strong City support for grants and work closely with other city departments to manage and report out on grants. The relationship the PD has with the city finance department is excellent and there are frequent meetings with the finance department relating to grants.
The Police Department has staff who administer grants as part of their regularly assigned duties. The command staff expects the grant managers meet all grant goals and reporting requirements. There are several systems in place that regulate how staff manages and administers grants. The police department is confident we will be able to use existing resources to implement this grant project.
