Schedule A

Fairfield Police Department

All grant awards, including any adjustments to requested funding, were made by the Cannabis Grants Unit based on the merits of the Grant Application, scale of operation, and in accordance with the Request for Application (RFA) requirements and associated regulations. As a result, not all Project activities and items detailed in Schedule A are applicable. Refer to Schedule B - Detailed Budget Estimate for approved Budget line items and Project activities. Project activities and items that are not clearly identified/specified in the Grant Agreement must be submitted to and approved by CGU prior to purchase.

Project Description
The Fairfield Police Department is a busy police department for its size. In 2024, the Fairfield Police Department responded to approximately 230 calls per a day, including on-view activity. Due to the high call volume, the patrol officers have very little time to be proactive and focus on proactive impaired driving. The Fairfield Police Department would like to staff DUI saturation patrol shifts throughout the week on an overtime basis. Staffing these DUI Saturation Patrols will help reduce the overall number of traffic crashes within the city, specifically DUI related traffic crashes. If we can staff these DUI saturation patrols on an overtime basis, this would allow the officers who are working DUI saturation to be proactive and focus primarily on impaired driving. If staffing allows, the Fairfield Police Department would like to staff the DUI saturation patrols with multiple officers (at least 2). Having more officers visible in the public would also deter and prevent the public from potentially driving impaired or committing traffic violations. The Fairfield Police Department has a full time Crime Analyst who monitors all the DUI arrests and DUI crashes that occur within the city. The Crime Analyst provides quarterly reports, which shows the time of day, the day of the week, and where within the city that the DUI arrests and DUI crashes are occurring. The Fairfield Police Department Traffic Unit has been using these quarterly reports for the planning of the DUI/Driver's License Checkpoints. The Fairfield Police Department is committed to training their officers on impaired driving enforcement. The Fairfield Police Department currently leads in the county in the number of certified DRE-Officers. The Fairfield Police Department's eight DRE-Officers are looking for additional training to help increase their knowledge and expertise. The main training for DREs in the yearly IACP Impaired Driving & Traffic Safety Conference. This conference is scheduled for August 4-6, 2025, in Chicago IL. The Fairfield Police Department would like to send their DRE Officers to this conference to help increase their knowledge and expertise.

Problem Statement & Proposed Solution
BACKGROUND: The city of Fairfield is the Solano County seat and is home to the Travis Air Force Base.

Fairfield consists of approximately 40 square miles and has a population of approximately 120,000. The Fairfield Police Department currently has 116 sworn personnel. The Fairfield Police Department Traffic Unit currently consists of four Motor Officers, one DUI Enforcement Officer, and one Sergeant.

PROBLEM: The Fairfield Police Department continues to see DUI as the primary cause in nearly 10 percent of the traffic crashes investigated. In 2022, approximately 12 percent of the 1,389 traffic crashes investigated were caused by DUI. In 2023, approximately 9 percent of the 1,345 traffic crashes investigated were caused by DUI. In 2024, approximately 11 percent of the 1,288 traffic crashes were caused by DUI. In 2023, there were 86 people injured in DUI related traffic crashes. In 2024, we saw a slight decrease at 69 people injured in DUI crashes. However, in 2024, there were five fatal DUI related traffic crashes compared to the two we had in 2023. The 2024 DUI related fatal traffic crashes involved alcohol and or drugs.

The Fairfield Police Department has been committed to arresting impaired drivers, trying to reduce the overall number of DUI related traffic crashes. In 2023, the Fairfield Police Department Traffic Unit hosted five DUI/Driver's License Checkpoints. The five checkpoints resulted in over 2,400 vehicles being screened, 9 DUI arrests were made, and 88 citations were issued for unlicensed/suspended drivers. In 2024, the Fairfield Police Department hosted another five DUI/Driver's License Checkpoints. Those checkpoints resulted in approximately 3,750 vehicles screened, 7 DUI arrests, and 98 citations were issued to drivers who were unlicensed/suspended. In 2024, the Fairfield Police Department made 319 DUI arrests. 62 out of the 319 DUI arrests were drug or combo. In 2023, the Fairfield Police Department was awarded with the Cannabis Grant.

Due to the Cannabis Grant, the Fairfield Police Department was able to conduct 189 DUI Saturation Patrol Shifts, make 1,494 car stops, and made 35 DUI arrests.

Schedule A

The Fairfield Police Department currently has eight certified DRE Officers. There is very minimal on- going training for DREs that is provided nationwide. One of the only and main training for DREs is the yearly IACP Impaired Driving & Traffic Safety Conference. In 2025, this conference is being held in Chiago, IL. Due to current training budget cuts, the Fairfield Police Department is unable to send the DRE officers to this conference

SOLUTION ENFORCEMENT: The Fairfield Police Department has started addressing this issue by continuing to do DUI/Driver's License Checkpoints and having a full time DUI Enforcement Officer. The Fairfield Police Department would like to staff DUI saturation patrol shifts throughout the week on an overtime basis to help reduce the number of DUI related traffic crashes within the city. If we can staff these DUI saturation patrols on an overtime basis, this would allow the officers who are working DUI saturation to be proactive and focus primarily on impaired driving enforcement. The Fairfield Police Department would like to staff the DUI saturation patrols with multiple officers and or sergeants (at least 2). Having more officers/sergeants visible in the public would also deter and prevent the public from potentially driving impaired. The Fairfield Police Department has a full time Crime Analyst who monitors all the DUI arrests and DUI crashes that occur within the city. The Crime Analyst provides quarterly reports, which shows the time of day, the day of the week, and where within the city that the DUI arrests and DUI crashes are occurring. The Fairfield Police Department Traffic Unit has been using these quarterly reports for the planning of the DUI/Driver's License Checkpoints. If the Fairfield Police Department was granted with these DUI saturation patrols, the officers/sergeants working the operation would target the locations where DUI arrests/crashes are trending.

SOLUTION TRAINING: The Fairfield Police Department is committed to arresting drug impaired DUI offenders. The Fairfield Police Department has shown is commitment by maintaining certified DRE -Officers.

The Fairfield Police Department currently leads the county with eight certified DRE -Officers. In order for these officers to keep up on their expertise, I am looking for funding to send them to the IACP Impaired Driving & Traffic Safety Conference in Chiago, IL, August 4-6, 2025. This conference is one of the few trainings that is offered nation-wide, which targets drug related impaired driving. Sending these officers to this conference will enhance their knowledge and expertise as it pertains to drug related DUI. This training will also allow these officers to bring back the training they obtained and share it amongst their peers.

Performance Measures/Scope of Work
DUI Saturation Patrols:

The Fairfield Police Department would like to conduct DUI saturation patrols every week. If possible, each DUI saturation patrol shift will consist of two officers or sergeants for eight hours. The purpose of having two officers per a shift is to have more police visibility in the community, potentially deterring impaired drivers. The Fairfield Police Department would like to conduct two DUI saturation patrols per a week. With approximately 52 weeks in one year, this would total 104 DUI saturation patrols for the entire year. 25 percent of the 104 DUI saturation patrols will be worked by Sergeants. This totals 26 DUI Saturated Patrols worked by Sergeants and 78 DUI Saturated Patrols worked by Officers. The DUI saturation patrol shifts would be placed on spec ific days of the week and at specific times of the day depending on when DUI arrests and DUI crashes are actively trending. Every quarter, the person managing the grant and creating the schedules will coordinate with the Fairfield Police Department Crime Analyst on when and where the DUI arrests/DUI crashes are occurring within the city.

GOAL:

The goal of conducting these extra DUI saturation patrols is to reduce the number of DUI related traffic crashes by 10 percent, and to proactively remove impaired drivers from the roadway.

104
Saturation Patrols (Q1=26, Q2=26, Q3=26, Q4=26, Total of 104 Saturation Patrols.) Aim to reduce DUI/DUID traffic crashes by 10 percent, which will improve roadway safety in the community. 28 of the 104 Saturation Patrols will be worked by Sergeants.

Impaired Driving & Traffic Safety Conference: (Q1=8 Officers sent to IACP Conference). The Fairfield Police Department wants to send their 8 DRE Officers to the IACP Impaired Driving & Traffic Safety Conference in Chiago, IL, August 4-6, 2025. This conference is one of the few trainings that is offered nation- wide, which targets drug related impaired driving. Sending these officers to this conference will enhance their knowledge and expertise as it pertains to drug related DUI. This training will also allow these officers to bring back the training they obtained and share it amongst their peers.

Schedule A

Project Performance Evaluation
DUI Saturation Patrols:

The grant administrator will create stat sheets for the DUI saturation patrols. The stat sheets will allow the grant administrator to track each officer's productivity during their shift. The grant administrator will also work alongside the Fairfield Police Department Crime Analyst. The two will work together on tracking when and where DUI arrests and DUI crashes are occurring. DUI saturation patrol shifts will be assigned based when the DUI arrests and DUI crashes are occurring. Quarterly reports will be conducted to track the progress on the ultimate goal, which is to reduce DUI related crashes by 10 percent.

Program Sustainability
The Fairfield Police Department is committed to reducing the number of overall traffic crashes and removing impaired drivers from the roadway. If in the future grant funding is unavailable, the Fairfield Police Department will do its best on continuing DUI saturation patrols and emphasizing traffic safety within the schools. The plan is to also expand the DUI Enforcement Officer Team. There is currently one DUI Enforcement Officer who works Wednesday through Saturday. The goal is to get an additional DUI Enforcement Officer for the other side of the week so there is 7-day coverage on DUI Enforcement. The Fairfield Police Department hosts on average six DUI/Driver's License Checkpoints per a year. The Fairfield Police Department will continue these checkpoints regardless of grant funding.

Administrative Support
The Fairfield Police Department's administration fully supports this grant. The Fairfield Police Department has received OTS grants for the past several years, along with this Cannabis Grant in 2023. Those grants were all successful and fully supported by the administrative staff. I personally have written and supervised OTS and Cannabis Grants.
