Schedule A
City of Fullerton 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 education and training of police officers is an integral component of our plan to combat traffic -related injuries and deaths, both in Fullerton and throughout the County of Orange. SFST, ARIDE and DRE training are all crucial elements of this plan. We believe that by educating police officers and other members of the criminal justice system, such as prosecutors and forensic scientists, in recognizing the signs and symptoms of both alcohol and drug impairment and providing them with the necessary tools for a successful prosecution, our police officers, and those from other law enforcement agencies, can better serve their communities and keep them safe through proactive measures.
Problem Statement
The Fullerton Police Department consistently ranks near the top countywide for DUI arrests, with 568 DUI arrests in 2025, up from 551 in 2024. However, the city also experienced 14 traffic -related fatalities in calendar year 2025—the same total as 2024, which also had 14 traffic-related fatal crashes. Six of the 14 fatalities in 2025 were DUI-related. The persistently high number of DUI arrests and fatal collisions underscores the need to continue grant-funded training to address ongoing DUI/DUI-D issues in Fullerton.
Downtown Fullerton is a major nightlife destination, with more than 61 ABC-licensed restaurants and bars within six square blocks, drawing an estimated 5,000 to 8,000 patrons on a single Friday night. Fullerton is also home to five colleges and universities with a combined student population of at least 65,000 and growing, which significantly increases the number of drivers—and the potential for impaired driving—within the city.
Because Downtown Fullerton is a magnet for nighttime activity, many potential DUI drivers may start their evening in Fullerton but be stopped later- or be involved in a crash- in another city, and vice versa. For that reason, reviewing Orange County-wide data is essential to fully understand the broader DUI-related problems impacting our community. Overall, the 2022 OTS Crash Ranking data shows that Fullerton ranked 36th out of 61 similar cities for total fatalities and injuries.
Since 2021, there have been 59 traffic-crash-related deaths in the City of Fullerton. Based on 2025 data, collisions involving alcohol and/or drugs accounted for approximately 16.5% of crashes, and many of those incidents resulted in injury or death. While this represents a decrease of about 16% from 2024, a DUI problem still exists in Fullerton and surrounding communities—evidenced by the increase in alcohol/drug-involved fatalities from 5 to 6 (or a 20% increase). This problem has persisted for years and must be addressed through a combination of proactive enforcement and targeted education.
DUI and DUI-D-related education and training for police officers is also an essential component in stemming the tragic outcomes our roadways all too often produce. The Fullerton Police Department is a proud leader, statewide, in the DUI/DUI-D education of police officers from various police agencies across the State of California. With grant support, we will continue to provide Drug Recognition Expert (DRE), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFS T) training and certifications to not only just police officers, but to Crime Lab Forensic Scientists and Deputy District Attorneys who have interest in expanding their knowledge for the purposes of successful prosecutions.
Performance Measures/Scope of Work (Proposed Solution)
Fullerton Police Department staff will incorporate data collection throughout the project in order to evaluate program effectiveness.
Outcome measures that will be utilized to quantify project performance will include tracking the number of:
Fullerton Police Department (FPD) employees and non-department members who attend DRE/ARIDE/SFST training, how many FPD employees become DRE certified, how many DRE/ARIDE/SFTS classes FPD Schedule A
instructs internally and in collaboration with other agencies, and how many FPD employees attend DRE/SFST instructor training. These are to be completed during the grant performance period of July 1, 2026- June 30, 2027.
• Attend SFST Training (6 students, annually) 80% completion goal • Attend ARIDE Training (4 students, annually) 100% completion goal • Attend DRE Training (4 students, annually) 100% completion goal • Attend DRE Recertification (10 DREs, annually) 100% completion goal • Attend DRE Field Certification (4 students, annually) 100% completion goal • Attend IACP IDTS Conference in Anaheim, CA in August 2026 (2 attendees, annually) 100% completion goal
• Instruct SFST Trainings (4 instructors, semi-annually) 100% completion goal • Instruct ARIDE Courses (4 instructors, semi-annually) 100% completion goal • Instruct DRE Trainings with Wet Labs (8 instructors, semi-annually) 100% completion goal • Instruct DRE Field Certifications (7 instructors, 1 public information specialist, 1 records clerk, semi - annually) 100% completion goal
• Instruct DRE Recertification (4 instructors, annually) 100% completion goal • Collaborative Instruction of DRE/SFST/ARIDE Trainings (2 Instructors, 1 annually) 100% completion goal
With approval by CHP, submit a grant kick-off press release on July 1, 2027. 100% completion goal To ensure that project components are implemented as intended, Police Department personnel will be involved to track project progress and ensure adherence to project goals.
• SFST School: During our SFST Schools, instructors teach sessions from the required curriculum provided by NHTSA and CHP. Throughout the course students are instructed on vehicle in motion, contacting driver, and determining if they will make a DUI arrest or not. Within the course we explain and demonstrate the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, so the students can properly use them in the field. During our three-day SFST School, we also conduct a wet lab in conjunction with the Orange County Crime Lab. At the wet lab, students have the opportunity to practice administering SFST’s on individuals that have been dosed by the crime lab. At the culmination of the course, students must pass the final exam to receive credit for the course. Due to our partnership with the Orange County Crime Lab, they give Yellow Box training to all Orange County law enforcement agency which allows them to use the Intoximeter Breath Machines.
• ARIDE: During our ARIDE Course, instructors teach sessions from the required curriculum provided by NHTSA and CHP. During this course students are instructed and refreshed on the curriculum for SFTS as it transitions from DUI alcohol to DUI drugs. Throughout this course students are instructed on the effects of drugs when taken into the body, along with a breakdown of the Seven Drug categories. At the culmination of the course, students must pass the final exam to receive credit for the course.
• DRE: During our DRE School, instructors teach sessions from the required curriculum provided by NHTSA and CHP. A DRE School is two weeks long and consists of three-day DRE Pre-School and DRE Course. The DRE Pre-School consists of a refresher of SFST School and ARIDE as it transitions into an in-depth breakdown of the effects of drugs on the human body and the seven drug categories. During the DRE Pre-School, the students will participate in a wet lab, and they must pass the DRE Pre-school Final to move forward in the program. After the DRE Pre-School, students are then taught about the seven drug categories along with how each category of drug effects the body differently. Throughout the course, students are not only taught about drugs but also how to properly conduct a DRE evaluation. Not only are there portions of the class that require instruction from certified DRE’s, but there is also the application on how to properly conduct the DRE evaluation. Students are taught how to properly examine eyes, use a sphygmomanometer, take left radial pulses, obtain pupil sizes (room light, near total darkness, and direct light), along with several other important skills. Periodically through the course, students take quizzes to gage their understanding of the material. At the culmination of the course, students must pass the final exam to receive credit for the course. If the student successfully completes the classroom portion of DRE, then they will transition to the DRE Field Certifications. Our DRE Schools, consist of instructors from Schedule A
our agency, CHP, law enforcement agencies across the county, and the Orange County District Attorney’s Office. Without the partnership with these prestigious agencies, we would not be able to teach, instruct, and pass on the valuable information the DRE Program has to offer.
• Wet Lab: During a wet lab, the Orange County Crime lab assists us with dosing drinkers to get them to a certain BAC (blood alcohol content). At this time, drinkers are dosed with standard drinks of alcohol of their choice. After dosing the drinkers, they are brought into the classroom where they are assessed and evaluated by the students attending the course. The students use the knowledge and skills obtained and apply it to the dosed drinker. The students conduct the standardized field sobriety tests on the drinkers under the supervision of an instructor. Each student conducts the Eye Tests (HGN, VGN, and LOC), Modified Romberg Balance Test, One Leg Stand, and the Walk and Turn on the drinker. The student will explain and demonstrate the SFST’s to the drinker, just as they were taught in the learning portion of the course. At the conclusion of the test, the student will make the decision based on the clues, signs, and symptoms observed if they would make the arrest the subject for DUI or not. The Orange County Crime Lab conducts breath tests on every drinker at the conclusion of each student’s SFST’s. The Orange County Crime Lab documents each drinkers BAC throughout the entire wet lab. The results are shared with the students at the end of the wet lab, so they can build confidence in their newly acquired training. It should be noted that one wet lab is conducted during our three-day SFST School, and two wet labs are conducted during our two-week DRE School.
• DRE Field Certification: During DRE Field Certifications, students who have successfully passed the school portion of the course come to use the training they have acquired on individuals who were arrested for under the influence. Fullerton Police Department has officers specifically designated to patrol our city for subjects under the influence of drugs. Once these officers make the arrest, they transport the subject to the Fullerton Police Department to be evaluated by a DRE student. DRE students conduct the 12 step DRE Evaluation on the arrestee, under the supervision of a DRE Instructor, to determine if the subject is under the influence of drugs or not. At the end of the DRE evaluation, the DRE student and DRE Instructor, review the data acquired during the evaluation to determine if the subject is under the influence or not. Once the determination is made that they are under the influence of a drug, the arrestee is walked over to the phlebotomist to have their blood drawn for evidence. After the blood is drawn, it is retained in a vial to be tested at a later date by the Orange County Crime Lab. Depending on the arrestees’ charges, they are either released with a citation when sober or transported to Orange County Jail. o It should be noted that once the Orange County Crime lab tests the arrestees’ blood, they provide the Fullerton Police Department with the blood toxicology results and show what type of drugs were in their blood. The results are then provided to the DRE students for the Rolling Logs, and it confirms if the drug category they called during their evaluation was correct or not. The DRE student must observe at least three drug categories and reach a certain percentage of calling the correct drug category. o As DRE student go through the field certification process, they must conduct six DRE evaluations themselves and observe six DRE evaluations conducted by another student in the class. The DRE student not only conducts a total of twelve DRE evaluations, but they are also required to write DRE reports along with the evaluations. The DRE evaluations and reports are reviewed by a DRE instructor at the time of completion.
• Phlebotomist: During our DRE Field Certification dates, we have an on-site phlebotomist. The purpose of the phlebotomist being on site is for the blood draw of arrestees who are deemed to be under the influence of drug, alcohol, and/or both. The blood draw is done at the conclusion of the DRE students’ evaluation to confirm the drug category they believe the arrestee in under the influence of. Phlebotomists collect the arrestee’s blood as evidence in the case. After the blood is drawn it is collected by the phlebotomist to be transferred to the Orange County Crime lab to be tested at a later date.
• Jailer: During our DRE Field Certification dates, we have an extra jailer on shift to help process bookings for the DRE students’ arrestees, so these higher volumes of bookings do not impact jail staff who are processing regular Patrol arrestees.
Schedule A
• Host/Instruction/Conduct: Fullerton Police Department hosts and instructs SFST Schools, ARIDE courses, and DRE Schools in conjunction with CHP and assisting law enforcement agencies throughout the county. Our agency has the luxury of hosting these training courses at our police department, a majority which are held in the Mural Room at our agency. Not only do we host, by providing a facility, but we also instruct these various courses. By instructing, we provide instructors to teach the necessary session for each course and they teach sessions from the required curriculum provided by NHTSA and CHP. On top of hosting and instructing training courses, we also conduct wet labs and DRE Field Certifications at our police department. We conduct wet labs during our SFST Schools and DRE Schools (2) in which the Orange County Crime Lab doses drinkers for the students to evaluate and perform the standardized field sobriety tests on. We also conduct DRE Field Certifications at our agency. During DRE Field Certifications, students who successfully pass the school portion of DRE come and use the knowledge and skills they learned on real life subjects who are under the influence. The skills and knowledge are applied as they assess the arrestee and determine which drug category they are under the influence of. Fullerton Police Department has had an outstanding partnership with CHP for decades as we have hosted and instructed a plethora of courses all while teaching the required curriculum provided by NHTSA and CHP.
Project Performance Evaluation
Fullerton Police Department staff will incorporate data collection throughout the project to evaluate program effectiveness. Staff to be involved in monitoring project progress will include an Operations Division Captain, a Personnel and Training Sergeant, and an Administrative Analyst. Such data points will include number of staff and attendees trained and/or in DRE/ARIDE/SFST, and the annual DUI/DUI -D related arrests and fatal crashes within the City of Fullerton.
Program Sustainability
The Fullerton Police Department can work with state and local resources to identify and develop other sources of funding to reduce reliance on federal funding in the future. Private foundations may provide some funding but often these are one-time and limited in scope of use. FPD might also continue its important DRE training and certification programs by charging municipalities to train and certify their officers; however, because of current funds, we do not have to charge any police agency for their officers to be trained. Many police agencies do not have the adequate funds to send their officers to paid-for training, and by being able to offer this training free of charge, we can assure more officers receive this ever important, and changing, information.
It is hoped that the many cities and counties who benefit from DRE training and certification programs can demonstrate to the federal government that federal funds are vital to keeping our communities and highways safe.
Administrative Support
The Fullerton Police Department has successfully managed and operated several traffic and DUI -related grants and has both the fiscal staff and resources to properly administer grant funds. Prior experience includes OTS STEP, DUI Checkpoint and DRE training programs through the State, Orange County District Attorney’s Office, and the City of Anaheim. The Fullerton Police Department has established itself as a leader in the field, and with the assistance of previous OTS STEP grant funding, its DRE instructors provide SFST, ARIDE, DRE training and certification to countless law enforcement agencies. In March of 2018, two of Fullerton's certified DRE Instructors were authorized to assist the Orange County DA's office by providing training at their DUI/DRE training school in Northern California. In August 2019, a Fullerton PD DRE Instructor was selected to be a presenter at the IACP International DRE Conference in Anaheim CA, a distinction held by few DRE Instructors across the country. Also, in 2019, a Fullerton PD DRE Instructor was a panelist with nationally recognized experts at a Think-Tank Panel Discussion held by the Rand Corporation in Washington D.C. to discuss the impacts of DUI-d Marijuana, demonstrating both the Police Department's knowledge and experience in DUI/DRE training, but also its willingness to collaborate with others in this field. Because of Fullerton PD’s experience, there will be minimal need for training or other startup delays for this grant. All Police personnel and volunteers must pass a criminal background check.
