BACKGROUND:
Law Enforcement Services
Each year staff provides a Public Safety Report to the City Council which summarize s law enforcement and fire department related services that occurred within the City of Goleta during the preceding calendar year (CY).
The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office (SBSO) has provided law enforcement services to the City of Goleta since July 1, 2002. Below is a summary of contract activity between the City of Goleta and SBSO since the City’s incorporation:
In June of 2002, the City entered into a 5-year agreement with the County for law enforcement services with the Sheriff’s Office. The agreement ran from July 1, 2002, through June 30, 2007.
In June of 2007, the City entered into a 5-year agreement with the County for law enforcement services with the Sheriff’s Office. The agreement ran from July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2012.
In June of 2012, the City entered into a 5-year agreement with the County for law enforcement services with the Sheriff’s Office. The agreement ran from July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2017 , and was extended to June 30, 2018 , via an approved amendment in June of 2017.
A one-year contract for Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-19 was approved by the City Council on June 19, 2018. During this contract year, the Sheriff’s Department 1 Meeting Date: July 18, 2023
switched from a Full Time Equivalent (FTE) model to a Deputy Sheriff Service Unit (DSSU) model for quantifying costs.
On June 18, 2019, the City Council approved and authorized the City Manager to execute the current operative agreement for law enforcement services with a term from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2023.
In January of 2021, the SBSO informed the City of an approximate contract increase of 30% and the City responded by initiating the contract dispute process.
Following negotiations on the disputed contract increase, o n July 20, 2021 , City Council approved and authorized the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 2019 -043 to Provide Law Enforcement Services by and between the County of Santa Barbara and the City of Goleta from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2023. This amendment resolved the disputed contract increases for FY 202 1-22 and memorialize d the disputed terms related to contract cost increases proposed by the Sheriff’s Department.
For the final year of Agreement No. 2019-043 (FY 2022 -23), the City again received proposed contract cost increases from the SBSO . On September 20 , 2022, the City Council approved and authorized the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 2019-043 which resolved the dispute over these contract increases.
On June 6, 2023, the City Council approved Amendment No. 3 to Agreement No. 2019-043. This amendment extended the term of the Agreement by additional 90 days, to terminate upon the earlier of the following occurrences: (i) 11:59 p.m. on September 29, 2023; or (ii) the effectiveness of a fully executed future agreement.
Amendment No. 3 further specifies an increase in contract cost; a 7.4% increase over FY 22/23 costs and is subject to a subsequent adjustment to establish actual costs of service during the extended term.
The City and the Sheriff’s Office are currently in negotiations for FY 2023-24 Law Enforcement Services.
As part of the agreement with the SBSO , the City provides office, meeting room, break room, locker room, garage and storage container space at City Hall at no cost to the SBSO for use by the Goleta Motors Unit, parking enforcement, and other personnel.
Goleta is the largest contract city for the SBSO and also has the largest motor traffic safety unit.
Fire Services
The City of Goleta is located within the County of Santa Barbara Fire Protection District; therefore, t he Santa Barbara County Fire Department (SBCFD) provides “All -Risk” services within the boundaries of Goleta, including Advanced Life Support , residential, commercial and wildland fire suppression, technical rescue services, hazardous materials safety, public education, community service, and many other services not readily visible to the community. Because it is separately tax-supported, through a portion of the annual property taxes paid within the boundaries of Goleta, the City does not pay SBCFD for these services.
2 Meeting Date: July 18, 2023
SBCFD has sixteen fire stations strategically located within the County. Nine stations are located in the North County and seven are in the South County. Three fire stations and associated support staff are located within the City of Goleta. On July 1, 2022 , SBCFD completed Advanced Life Support (ALS/Paramedic) conversion for all sixteen fire stations. SBCFD is now the largest provider of paramedic service in the County of Santa Barbara.
DISCUSSION:
Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office
Law Enforcement Patrol Operations: Upon incorporation, one of the original priorities for the City was to increase the enforcement of traffic related laws. Specifically, the Sheriff’s Office was asked to place an emphasis on speed enforcement and accident reduction, priorities which continue today.
The Goleta Traffic Bureau , consisting of approximately four motors officers (one motor officer position is currently vacant since October of 2022), pursues a proactive approach to speed enforcement and accident prevention for the safety of the motoring , bicycling and pedestrian public. They do this by showing a police presence in the community and engaging with the public to learn about their concerns. The Motor Unit has responded to specific community concerns by conducting crosswalk stings, cell phone violation enforcement, DUI checkpoints and assisting the P ublic Works Department with conducting updated speed surveys throughout the City . Four personnel are currently assigned to the traffic unit, including one Sergeant, one Senior Deputy, and two Deputies.
In addition, the SBSO provides enforcement at four elementary schools in the city limits (Ellwood, Kellogg, La Patera and Brandon) during student drop-off and pick-up and provides police services at Goleta Valley Jr High and Dos Pueblos High School.
While enforcement is a priority for this unit, educating the public and collaborating with community groups and local schools helps to achieve the goal of reducing accidents and enhancing traffic safety. T he Motor Unit has a high level of visibility and enforcement in and around local schools, along with participating in walk and bike to school functions.
Community Resource Deputy (CRD) - Schools: The City’s law enforcement staffing also includes a Community Resource Deputy assigned to schools, which is filled by Sr.
Deputy George Hedricks , who works closely with school administration staff, County Probation staff, the Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) and the residents in the surrounding community . In the summer of 2022, a Memorandum of Understanding between Santa Barbara Unified S chool District, the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office and the City of Goleta was developed regarding law enforcement on School campuses . As per the new model in the MOU, the CRD strives to improve the educational and social environment at both the Dos Pueblos High School (DPHS) and Goleta Valley Junior High School (GVJH) campuses by working to maintain safe and secure campuses from intruders; preserve life and property in a manner which promotes community; develop positive relationships with students; and supp ort District staff in the securing and transporting of prohibited confiscated items that are illegal to have on Campus under 3 Meeting Date: July 18, 2023
California State law or District policies. The CRD’s ability to interact with the school administration, staff and students continu es to be of great value to the school and the community at large. Currently, the CRD also serves as the Head Coach for the Varsity Baseball team at DPHS. This is an excellent example of the community -based policing model that is utilized in the schools serviced by the SBSO.
Community Resource Deputy (CRD) – Citywide: The citywide Community Resource Deputy, which is currently filled by Sr. Deputy Ehren Ra uch, performs several enforcement duties which include but are not limited to working with neighborhood and business watch programs, participating in the Safe Routes to School program, providing Ellwood Bluffs enforcement, coordinat ing bike and foot patrol s in Old Town Goleta, participating with other CRDs on enforcement and intervention with at -risk youth , participating on the South Coast Task Force on Youth Safety, participating in the Goleta Restorative Policing Program (Homeless Outreach), and collaborating with CalTrans and Union Pacific railroad regarding homelessness on their respective properties , among a number of other important community-focused efforts.
Grants: Throughout the calendar year of 2022, the Sheriff’s Office conducted various checkpoints with the use of grant funding obtained from the State of California’s Office of Traffic Safety. During the 2021-22 Federal Fiscal year, $78,000 was awarded for a combined DUI /Traffic Safety Enforcement Grant ( Selective Traffic Enforcement (STEP)/Avoid Lead Agency).
Criminal Investigations Division: During the calendar year of 2022, the detectives assigned to the Goleta Criminal Investigations Division investigated 945 of the 3,168 reports taken in the City of Goleta. Detectives cleared cases by:
Arrest (both adults and juveniles);
Cleared by Exception Means;
Complaints submitted to the District Attorney’s Office or Juvenile Probation for filing;
Missing persons being located;
The crime had been committed outside of the City of Goleta and the case was sent to the appropriate jurisdiction;
Returned runaway juveniles; and/or
Positive recourse between the victim and suspect.
In 2022, 9 cases were “suspended” due to:
Lack of leads;
Lack of evidence;
Uncooperative victims; and
Determination that cases were unfounded.
In the same period, 865 cases were “closed” with no further investigation. These were the result of misidentified investigations, re -classified investigations or insufficient evidence to prove a criminal act occurred. On December 31, 2022, Detectives still had 38 active cases pending further investigation. During 2022, the Criminal Investigations Division 4 Meeting Date: July 18, 2023
received an average of 78.8 criminal cases per month for follow-up investigation resulting from crimes committed in the City of Goleta.

Part One Crimes: The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program collects statistics on the number of offenses known to law enforcement.
In the traditional Summary Reporting System (SRS), there are eight crimes, or “Part One” 5 Meeting Date: July 18, 2023
offenses (criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, larceny-theft, and arson) reported to the UCR Program. The UCR Program collects data about Part One offenses in order to measure the level and scope of crime occurring throughout the nation. The program’s founders chose these offenses because they are serious crimes, they occur with regularity in all areas of the country, and they are likely to be reported to police.
Table 2 provides year-over-year information regarding preliminary data on Part One Crimes for the City of Goleta for calendar years 2019 through 2022. “Calls for Service” increased from 21,592 in 2021 to 22,021 in 2022 (1.99% increase).
