Schedule A
Fairfield Police Department
The Grantor determined awards and adjustments based on the Project’s merit, operational scale, compliance with the Request for Application (RFA), and program regulations. Certain activities or budget items proposed in Schedule A may have been deemed ineligible for funding. The final, binding list of authorized activities and expenses is set forth in Schedule B - Detailed Budget Estimate.
Project Description
The Fairfield Police Department (FPD) manages a high-activity jurisdiction, averaging 268 calls for service per day. This volume keeps patrol officers in a reactive posture, leaving minimal time for the proactive enforcement required to identify impaired drivers. Without dedicated funding for overtime, the department cannot consistently address the threat of DUI-related crashes.
Data-Driven Saturation Patrols FPD proposes staffing DUI Saturation Patrols on an overtime basis. This strategy allows officers to focus 100% of their shift on impaired driving, unburdened by the general call queue.
By utilizing our full-time Crime Analyst’s quarterly reports, we will deploy teams of at least two officers / sergeants but no more than five officers / sergeants to "hot spots" during peak times for DUI incidents. These details will typically run up to eight hours long but under peak traffic days will run no longer than twelve hours per day. This high-visibility approach not only increases arrests but serves as a vital deterrent to traffic violations.
Expertise & Training FPD leads the county in certified Drug Recognition Experts (DREs). To maintain this standard and address emerging drug trends, we seek to send three officers, three sergeants, and one Grant Administrative Assistant to the 2026 IACP Training Conference on Impaired Driving and Traffic Safety, held August 21–23, 2026, in Anaheim, CA.
This training is essential for maintaining our specialized knowledge and ensuring the highest quality of evidence for DUI prosecutions.
Problem Statement
Background: The City of Fairfield is the Solano County seat and home to Travis Air Force Base. Spanning 40 square miles with a population of approximately 120,000, the FPD operates with 116 sworn personnel. The Traffic Unit currently consists of four Motor Officers, one DUI Enforcement Officer, and one Sergeant.
Problem Statement: DUI remains the primary cause in roughly 10% of all traffic crashes investigated by FPD. 2022: 12% of 1,389 crashes were DUI-related.
2023: 9% of 1,345 crashes were DUI-related (86 injuries; 2 fatalities).
2024: 11% of 1,288 crashes were DUI-related (69 injuries; 5 fatalities).
2025: In 2025, FPD investigated 1,282 total collisions, including 4 fatal collisions and 436 injury collisions. DUI involvement remains critical: alcohol was a factor in 3 of the 4 fatalities (75%) and in 52 injury collisions, resulting in 75 injuries. Drugs were involved in 1 fatality and 10 injury collisions.
The sustained rate of DUI-related injuries and the high percentage of alcohol-involved fatalities in 2025 underscore a critical need for increased enforcement. While call volume limits proactive growth, the FPD remains committed to reversing these trends.
Enforcement: FPD will bridge the gap between reactive patrol and proactive safety by staffing overtime DUI Saturation Patrols. By using analyst-driven quarterly reports, officers will target specific "trending" locations.
Deploying multiple officers/sergeants (at least two per detail, staffing limitations dependent) maximizes visibility and deterrence.
Schedule A
Training: To combat the complexities of drug-impaired driving, FPD is committed to advanced education. As the county leader in certified DREs, FPD requires funding to attend the 2026 IACP Training Conference in Anaheim, CA. This conference is one of the few nationwide programs targeting drug- related impairment.
Sending our officers ensures they remain experts in the field and can return to train their peers, multiplying the grant's impact across the department.
SOLUTION ENFORCEMENT: The Fairfield Police Department (FPD) addresses impaired driving through a multi-layered approach, including regular DUI/Driver's License Checkpoints and the deployment of a full-time DUI Enforcement Officer. However, current call volume requires a more robust, proactive solution. FPD proposes staffing DUI Saturation Patrols on an overtime basis throughout the week. This funding will allow officers to step away from the general reactive call queue and maintain a 100% focus on proactive impaired driving enforcement.
Operational efficiency will be guided by our full-time Crime Analyst Reports, who monitors all DUI arrests and crashes within city limits. The Analyst provides quarterly reports identifying high-risk trends, including specific times of day, days of the week, and geographic "hot spots." The Traffic Unit, which already utilizes these reports to plan checkpoints, will use this data to precisely deploy saturation teams. To maximize safety and deterrence, patrols will be staffed with at least two officers or sergeants but no more than five employees in one operational period. The shifts will be scheduled typically no longer than eight hours but in extenuating circumstances where traffic patterns are predictably most congested, employees working this detail may work up to twelve hours. This high-visibility presence is designed to deter potential offenders before they drive impaired, while ensuring that teams target the exact locations where DUI incidents are statistically trending.
SOLUTION TRAINING: The Fairfield Police Department is specifically committed to identifying and arresting drug-impaired offenders. As the county leader with nine certified Drug Recognition Experts (DREs), FPD recognizes that maintaining this specialized expertise requires consistent, high- level education. Because nationwide training for DREs is extremely limited, FPD is seeking funding to send our seven personnel to the IACP Impaired Driving & Traffic Safety Conference in Anaheim, CA, August 21–23, 2026.
This conference is the premier national forum for addressing the evolving challenges of drug- related impairment and poly-drug use. Attendance will provide our officers with the latest technical knowledge, legal updates, and validation techniques essential for successful DUI prosecutions. Furthermore, this initiative serves as a "train-the-trainer" model; upon their return, these seven personnel will share their advanced expertise with the rest of the department through internal briefings and field training. This ensures that the grant funding enhances the competency of the entire sworn force, leading to more accurate impairment identifications and safer roads in Fairfield.
Schedule A
Performance Measures/Scope of Work (Proposed Solution)
Performance Measures
DUI Saturation Patrols The Fairfield Police Department (FPD) will implement a flexible, data-driven schedule consisting of no less than 52 total DUI Saturation Patrol operations annually. To maximize operational impact and adapt
to shifting crime trends, the department will not prescribe a fixed number of operations per quarter.
Instead, the grant manager will coordinate quarterly with the FPD Crime Analyst to identify statistical "hot spots" and peak times for DUI-related incidents, ensuring patrols are deployed when and where they are most effective.
Each saturation patrol shift will be staffed by teams of two to five personnel for durations ranging from four to twelve hours. A high-visibility, multi-officer approach is utilized to maximize public deterrence and ensure officer safety.
To ensure maximum scheduling flexibility and operational success, FPD requests the latitude to allow Sergeants
to work these shifts as frequently as Officers. This request is supported by two critical factors:
Expertise: Several of the department’s most skilled and enthusiastic DUI enforcement experts were recently promoted to the rank
of Sergeant and remain vital assets for impaired driving apprehension.
Personnel Constraints: FPD is currently managing a significant staffing deficit, with approximately 12 vacant officer
positions and an additional 12 personnel unavailable due to injury. Granting Sergeants equal eligibility to staff these details is essential to maintaining the department's commitment to traffic safety while navigating these personnel challenges.
While the Fairfield Police Department has established a baseline goal of 52 saturation patrols, we historically
exceed this figure annually. The structure of this proposal provides the fiscal flexibility to utilize experienced Sergeants
as needed. It should be noted that the 52-patrol minimum is calculated using a maximum-cost scenario (staffing exclusively with Sergeants); however, as actual staffing will likely include various ranks at lower
rates, we anticipate the funding will support a significantly higher volume of patrols once the initial baseline
is met.
Goal
The primary objective of these enhanced DUI Saturation Patrols is to reduce the total number of DUI-related traffic crashes by 10% and proactively remove impaired drivers from Fairfield roadways. This goal is vital giv
en that in 2025, alcohol or drugs were factors in 100% of the city’s fatal collisions (4 out of 4).
Impaired Driving & Traffic Safety Conference: To maintain Solano County’s highest level of specialized expertise, FPD will send seven personnel, interested in the investigations of DUI Drivers to the IACP Impaired Driving & Traffic Safety Conference in Anaheim, CA, August 21–23, 2026. This national-level training is
critical for maintaining advanced competency in drug-impaired driving trends and ensuring high-quality evidence for DUI/DUID prosecutions. Our Fiscal Grant Administrator plays and integral role administering this Grant
in the years past. Research of the DRE Conference and from past attendance demonstrates a pipeline and course curriculum for those directly involved in Grant execution.
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.
Schedule A
Program Sustainability
Sustainability and Future Commitment
The Fairfield Police Department (FPD) remains steadfast in its commitment to enhancing roadway safety by reducing traffic collisions and systematically removing impaired drivers from the community. While grant funding is a critical force-multiplier for these efforts, the department has developed a long-term strategy to ensure the continuity of its traffic s
afety initiatives.
Operational Continuity and Expansion Regardless of future grant availability, FPD will prioritize the maintenance of DUI saturation patrols through strategic resource allocation. A key component of this long- term plan is the expansion of the DUI Enforcement Officer Team. Currently, the department utilizes one full- time DUI Enforcement Officer providing coverage from Wednesday through Saturday. The department's strategic goal is to secure a second full-time position to cover the remainder of the week, establishing comprehensive seven-day-a-week dedicated DUI enforcement.
Community and Educational Engagement Beyond enforcement, the department will continue to emphasize traffic safety through educational outreach within local schools. FPD also remains committed to its high- visibility enforcement calendar, hosting an average of six DUI/Driver's License Checkpoints per year. These checkpoints are a foundational element of our safety strategy and will continue to be conducted as a core departmental function, independent of external funding.
Through these combined efforts of proactive enforcement, dedicated staffing, and community education, the Fairfield Police Department ensures a sustainable and permanent impact on public safety.
Administrative Support
The administration of the Fairfield Police Department (FPD) is fully committed to the success of this project and provides its complete support for this grant application. This proposal aligns with the department's long- standing history of successful grant management and fiscal responsibility. FPD has a proven track record of effectively administering California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) grants for several consecutive years, as well as successfully executing the 23/24 and 25/26 Cannabis Grant.
These previous initiatives were met with comprehensive administrative oversight and achieved their stated objectives, demonstrating the department's capacity to meet rigorous reporting and performance standards.
Furthermore, the project leads for this proposal possess extensive experience in the technical writing and direct supervision of both OTS and Cannabis-related grants, ensuring that all operational goals and compliance requirements will be met with the highest level of professional expertise.
