M. TRAFFIC VIOLATOR APPREHENSION PROGRAM:
1. COUNTY has established a Traffic Violator Apprehension Program [“the Program”], which is operated by SHERIFF, and is designed to reduce vehicle accidents caused by unlicensed drivers and drivers whose licenses are suspended and to educate the public about the requirements of the Vehicle Code and related safety issues with regard to driver licensing, vehicle registration, vehicle operation, and vehicle parking. The Program operates throughout the unincorporated areas of the COUNTY and in the cities that contract with COUNTY for SHERIFF’s law enforcement services, without regard to jurisdictional boundaries, because an area -wide approach to reduction of traffic accidents and driver education is most effective in preventing traffic accidents. In order for CITY to participate in the Program, CITY has adopted fee s pursuant to Vehicle Code Section 22850.5, in the same amount as approved by COUNTY, as set forth in the resolution that is Attachment F [hereinafter called a “TVAP resolution”], and has directed that the revenue from such fee be used for the Program. CITY’s participation in the Program may be terminated at any time by rescission or amendment of the TVAP resolution. In the event CITY 1) amends said TVAP resolution, or rescinds said TVAP resolution and adopts a new TVAP resolution pertaining to the above-referenced fees and the Program, and 2) remains a participant in the Program thereafter, CITY’s Manager, on behalf of CITY, and SHERIFF, on behalf of COUNTY, have authority to execute an amendment Item: 11

of this Agreement to substitute CITY’s amended or new TVAP resolution for Attachment F to the Agreement , as long as said amendment to this Agreement does not materially change any other provision of this Agreement. As COUNTY updates its fees for the Program periodically COUNTY will provide written notice to CITY of the updated fees . CITY’S participation in the Program will terminate if CITY determines not to adopt the updated fees for the Program.
2. COUNTY will make available for review, at the request of CITY, all financial data related to the Program as may be requested by CITY.

• One (1) Staff Specialist
(80 hours per two-week pay period)
• One (1) Office Specialist

The request shall be submitted within the budget schedule established by SHERIFF. SHERIFF shall approve the expenditure only if both of the following condit ions are satisfied: 1) there are sufficient Program funds, attributable to revenue generated by the CITY’s fee, to pay for the requested purchase, and 2) CITY will use the equipment and/or supplies, during their Item: 11

In the event that CITY terminates its participation in the Program, CITY agrees that the equipment purchased by CITY and reimbursed by Program funds will continue to be used, during the remainder of its useful life, exclusively for the purposes authorized by CITY’s TVAP resolution in effect at the time of purchase.
5. In the event the fees adopted by COUNTY, CITY and other participating jurisdictions are not adequate to continue operation of the Program at the level at which it operated previously, COUNTY, at the option of CITY, will reduce the level of Program service to be provided to CITY or will continue to provide the existing level of Program services. COUNTY will charge CITY the cost of any Program operations that exceed the revenue generated by fees. Such charges shall be in addition to the Maximum Obligation of CITY set forth in Subsection G -2 of this Agreement. The amount of any revenue shortfall charged to CITY will be determined, at the time the revenue shortfall is experienced, according to CITY’s share of Program services rendered. In the event of a reduction in level of Program service, termination of Program service or adjustment of costs, the parties shall execute an amendment to this Agreement so providing. Decisions about how to reduce the level of Program service provided to CITY shall be made by SHERIFF with the approval of CITY.

COUNTY BILLING POLICY
APPROVED BY BOARD MINUTE ORDER DATED OCTOBER 27, 1992
I. POLICY
All County agencies/departments/districts (County) governed by the Board of Supervisors shall bill contracting entities for materials and/or services provided under contract in accordance with the following standardized billing and collection policy. Billing frequency is dependent on whether the contract is a fixed price or actual cost contract. Payment due date is designed to be both responsive to the County’s cash flow needs and reasonable enough as to not require special processing by the contracting entity. If payments are not received by the required due dates, a late payment fee shall be computed and billed to the contracting entity in accordance with the requirements of this procedure.
Nothing herein shall affect the liability, including pre-judgment interest, of the contracting party for services or materials in as much as this is a policy to enact standard billing practices.
II. DEFINITIONS
A. Contract for the purposes of this policy - A contract is a formal written agreement, a purchase order from the contracting entity, or any other acceptable mutual understanding between the contracting parties.
B. Received by the County - The phrase “received by the County”, as used in Section VI of this policy, refers to the date a payment is received by the County. It is defined as the date the payment is in the County’s possession. It is not the date the payment is posted or deposited by the County.
III. FIXED PRICE CONTRACTS
A. Fixed Price (One-Time/Non-Recurring Contracts) - Invoices that represent a billing for a one-time, non-recurring provision of materials and/or services shall be issued no later than five (5) working days after delivery by the County of the materials and/or services.
Examples of such one-time, non-recurring provision of materials and/or services might be a city contracting with the Sheriff for security service at a parade or sporting event; or, a city purchasing a computer listing containing certain city-requested data. Payment due date shall be invoice date plus 30 days.
B. Fixed Price (Ongoing/Recurring Contracts) - Invoices that represent a billing for an ongoing, recurring provision of materials and/or services shall be issued according to the following frequency:
1. Annual Billings that total $10,000 or less per 12-month period shall be billed via one (1) annual invoice. Annual invoices will be issued for each 12-month period of the contract, or portions thereof. Invoices shall be issued no later than five working days after the beginning of each 12-month period. Payment due date shall be invoice date plus 30 days.
Item: 11
478
2. Quarterly Billings that are greater than $10,000 but not more than $200,000 per 12 - month period, shall be billed in qu arterly installments. Quarterly invoices will be issued representing the contract amount for each 12 -month period of the contract, or portions thereof, prorated into four (4) installments. Invoices shall be issued no later than 30 days after the beginning of each quarter. Payment due date shall be 60 days after the beginning of each calendar quarter.
3. Monthly Billings that are greater than $200,000 per 12 -month period shall be billed in monthly installments. Monthly invoices will be issued representing the contract amount for each 12-month period of the contract, or portions thereof, prorated into 12 installments. Invoices shall be issued on or before the first day of each service month. Payment due date shall be 30 days after the beginning of each ser vice month.
An example of a fixed price contract for ongoing, recurring provision of materials and/or services might be a city contracting with the Sheriff for law enforcement services.
IV. ACTUAL COST CONTRACTS
A. Actual Cost (One-Time/Non-Recurring Contracts) - Invoices that represent a billing for a one-time, non -recurring provision of materials and/or services shall be issued after delivery by the County of the materials and/or services and no later than 15 days after actual cost data is available. Payment due date shall be invoice date plus 30 days.
B. Actual Cost (Ongoing/Recurring Contracts) - Invoices that represent a billing for an ongoing, recurring provision of materials and/or services shall be issued on a monthly basis and shall represent the cos t of materials and/or services provided to the contracting entity during the previous calendar month. Such invoices shall be issued no later than 15 days after the close of the monthly billing period. If the County agency/department/district does not uti lize a monthly billing cycle, the invoice shall be issued no later than 15 days after actual cost data is available. Payment due date shall be invoice date plus 30 days.
Examples of actual cost contracts for the ongoing, recurring provision of materials and/or services might be a city contracting with the County for communications equipment repair or waste disposal at a County landfill.
V. PAYMENT DUE DATES
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections II and III above, payment due date shall be at least invoice date plus 30 days. If the County is late in issuing an invoice, the contracting entity would always have at least invoice date plus 30 days to pay. If the County is early in issuing an invoice, the contracting entity would still have a payment due date of either 60 days after the beginning of the quarter (quarterly invoices) or 30 days after the beginning of the service month (monthly invoices).
(EXAMPLES: An invoice for October service, dated and issued October 8 (late) would have a payment due date of November 7. An invoice for August service, dated and issued July 20 (early) would have a payment due date of August 30.)
Item: 11
479
VI. LATE CHARGES
The late payment of any invoiced amount by a contracting entity will cause the County to incur costs not contemplated by the County/contracting entity agreement, the exact amount of such cost will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, costs such as administrative follow -up and processing of delinquent notices, incre ased accounting costs, etc.
Late charges will be assessed in the following situations:
Over-the-counter payments will be assessed a late charge if any payment is not received by the County by the payment due date.
Payments transmitted to the County via the U.S. Mail that have the payer’s postage meter mark will be assessed a late charge if any payment is not received by the County by the payment due date plus one day.
Payments transmitted to the County via the U.S. Mail that have a U.S. Post Office postmark dated after the payment due date will be assessed a late charge.
The late charge assessed in each of these situations shall be three -quarters of one percent (0.75%) of the payment due and unpaid plus $100.00 for late payments made within 30 days of the payment due date. An additional charge of three -quarters of one percent (0.75%) of said payment shall be added for each additional 30 -day period that the payment remains unpaid. Late charges shall be added to the payment and invoiced to the contractin g entity in accordance with this policy.
VII. COLLECTIONS
Any invoice remaining unpaid 90 days after the invoice date shall be referred to the Auditor - Controller for subsequent collection action, such as deduction from contracting entity moneys on deposit with the County Treasurer in accordance with Government Code Section 907 and any other applicable provision of law. Non -payment of invoices and applicable late charges will constitute a breach of contract for which the County retains all legal remedies including termination of the contract.
VIII. DISCOUNT FOR EARLY PAYMENT
Any payment received by the County from a contracting entity 20 days or more before the payment due date shall be entitled to a discount of one -quarter of one percent (0.25%). If the contracting entity takes a discount, and the payment is received by the County less than 20 days before the payment due date, County staff shall immediately notify the contracting entity by telephone that the discount should not have been taken and that the balance is due by the original payment due date.
If the balance is not received by the County in accordance with the dates as specified in Section VII, applicable late charges shall be calculated on the balance due.
Item: 11
480
IX. DEFERRED REVENUE
At fiscal year end, any portion of revenue invoiced (not necessarily received) during the fiscal year being closed out that represents charges or prepayment for materials and/or services for the upcoming fiscal year shall be reclassified from a revenue account to a deferred revenue account (liability). In the new fiscal year the deferred revenue shall be reclassified to a revenue account. (EXAMPLE: On June 1, 19X1, a city is invoiced $48,000 which represents charges for the 12 -month period June 1, 19X1 to May 31 , 19X2. The amount to be reclassified to deferred revenue would be $44,000, representing 11/12ths of the total amount. In July 19X1, the $44,000 would be reclassified to revenue.) Reclassification entries shall be made by Auditor -Controller Agency Accou nting units, or for those agencies/departments/districts without such a unit, the agency/department/district shall notify the Auditor-Controller of the amounts to be reclassified.
X. COST RECOVERY
All County agencies/department/districts shall include al l costs of providing contracted services in contract rates. Including all direct costs, allocated indirect costs such as departmental and County (CWCAP) overhead, and cost of capital financing.
XI. EXISTING CONTRACTS
Billing terms and provisions contain ed in existing contracting entity agreements (existing as of the date this policy is approved by the Board of Supervisors) shall remain in effect for the life of the contract. However, when these existing contracts are renegotiated, they shall contain the billing provisions as set forth in this policy.
XII. DEVIATIONS FROM POLICY
Deviations from this policy shall be approved by the Board of Supervisors. Proposed deviations by agencies/departments/districts shall be submitted to the CEO for concurrence in advance of filing an Agenda Item Transmittal (AIT) with the Clerk of the Board. The CEO, or his/her designee, shall advise the agency/department/district of approval or disapproval of the proposed deviations. If a County agency/department/district subm its a contract to the Board of Supervisors for approval, and the billing provisions in the contract deviate from this policy, the agency/department/district shall specifically advise the Board of Supervisors in the AIT of the deviation, the reason for the deviation, and of the CEO’s recommendation relative thereto.

n such cases, pursuant to the forfeiting agency’s guidelines, SHERIFF shall apply to the forfeiting agency for the return of a share of assets. In his application, SHERIFF shall specify the percentage of shared assets returned to SHERIFF that will be used to augment law enforcement services in CITY and the use of said assets by CITY.
I
n those cases in which assets are seized within CITY by personnel assigned to CITY pursuant to this Agreement, without the involvement of other law enforcement personnel, and in which the seizure is a result solely of activities self-initiated by SHERIFF personnel assigned to CITY or initiated by said personnel in response to calls for service within CITY, SHERIFF shall apply to have all of the assets used to augment CITY law enforcement services.
I
n those cases in which SHERIFF personnel assigned to CITY pursuant to this Agreement play an ancillary role in a seizure or in which other law enforcement personnel are involved in a seizure, SHERIFF shall determine the percentage of the total forfeited assets for which he will apply to augment CITY’s law enforcement services. This determination will be based on the circumstances of the seizure, including the pro -rata involvement of all personnel, including those assigned to CITY.
E
ach seizure will be evaluated on an individual and independent basis, and said evaluations will be available for review to CITY’s manager. Examples of those incidents which would be evaluated as set forth in this section include situations in which a contract patrol deputy provides uniformed backup at a SHERIFF’s Narcotic Bureau search warrant location or in which contract investigators participate in the service of a search warrant that was initiated by non-contract law enforcement personnel.
A
ssets (cash or property) that are returned to SHERIFF by the forfeiting agency with the understanding that they will be used to augment CITY law enforcement services shall be used by CITY and SHERIFF only for such purposes. If the forfeiting agency attaches additional or more specific conditions to the use of said assets, CITY and SHERIFF shall also abide by those conditions. SHERIFF and CITY’s manager shall determine the specific use of said assets within the conditions imposed by the forfeiting agency.

4 General Overview
The City of Lake Forest was formally incorporated on December 20, 1991. Before its incorporation, the area was recognized as El Toro and primarily functioned as an agricultural region. With the establishment of the El Toro Marine Base, however, the landscape shifted towards residential, commercial, and industrial development, gradually supplanting the agricultural activities. Consequently, there arose a demand for ad ditional housing and ancillary services. In the year 2000, Lake Forest experienced further expansion as the community voted to extend the city's boundaries to encompass the master -planned developments of Portola Hills and Foothill Ranch.
Police Services is responsible for public safety and general law enforcement, including patrol services, traffic enforcement, and criminal investigation. Police Services also provides a variety of crime prevention outreach programs for the public, including Neighborhood Watch, Business Watch, and other community awareness programs.
Captain Christine Berryman was selected as the Chief of Police Services in March 2023. She commands and directs the overall operation of Police Services in the city and is assigned to City Hall.

11 Patrol Statistics
Calls for Service
Lake Forest Police Services responded to 28,211 calls for service in 20 23. The total calls for service include calls that were generated through dispatch and by the patrol deputies’ self - initiated observations.
Preventative Patrol Time
Consumed time is the measurement of tim e a deputy spends responding to c alls for service, conducting self -initiated activities, finishing reports, attending briefing s, lunch break s, and other activities that consume a deputy’s time.
Preventative Patrol Time is time used by deputies to be visible for crime suppression, speak with people in the community, enforce traffic laws and look for criminal activity . A deputy visibly patrolling the city helps deter crime, promotes a sense of security within the community, and provides faster response times to priority or life-threatening calls for service.

Response Times
Emergency Response calls are all calls for service that have the potential of being a life - threatening incident and require the deputies to respond using the vehicle’s lights and sirens.
In 2013, the Sheriff’s Department began looking at all emergency response calls that took longer than 5 minutes to determine and record the reason for a delay in response. It was found that the program responsible for calculating response times did not consider many situations that affect response times, including but not limited to calls that escalate or de- escalate in severity. As a result, emergency calls are calculated utilizing the Interquartile Range (IQR) method to report a more accurate “reconciled” response time. ❖ The average reconciled response time during 2023 for Emergency Response calls was 4 minutes and 47 seconds.
Priority 2 calls include serious crimes that just occurred, incidents likely to escalate to a crime against a person, or any incident where a delay would impede a further investigation or cause someone to be in jeopardy.
❖ The average response time during 2023 for priority 2 calls was 14 minutes and 42 seconds from when the call was received to when a deputy arrive d at the scene.

14 Crime Statistics
In June 2021, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department began the process of transitioning from the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program to the new National Incident -Based Reporting System (NIBRS) requirements. The transition to NIBRS represents a significant shift – and improvement – in how reported crime is measured and estimated by the federal government.
NIBRS captures detailed data about the characteristics of criminal incidents. NIBRS data more accurately reflect the types of crime addressed by police agencies, like simple assault, animal cruelty, destruction of property, intimidation, and identity theft. The broad scope of the information collected in NIBRS will greatly improve t he nation’s understanding of crime and public safety.
Although some individuals might perceive the additional data collected through NIBRS as an apparent rise in crime, a closer look at how NIBRS provides more data also shows why it replaced the SRS as the UCR data standard. This report addresses the following ways more data are obtained via NIBRS:
• Without the SRS Hierarchy Rule, NIBRS captures more offenses when two or more occur in the same incident.
• With expanded offense categories, NIBRS captures more offenses to establish a broader baseline for crime.
• With greater specificity for reporting, NIBRS captures more detailed information about each crime occurrence.

T.A.G.R.S.
The Tracking Automated and Graffiti Reporting System (TAGRS) is a program used to store and track graffiti incidents and designed to help investigators identify a nd prosecute graffiti suspects. TAGRS receives its data from two sources. The main source is from an agency contracted through the City. They enter the graffiti information including the address, amount of damage, photos of the graffiti and the date and time it was discovered through an internet portal. After they document the damage, it is electronically sent through the internet portal to the law enforcement official responsible for investigating crimes within Lake Forest. The law enforcement official will receive these incidents, including photos of the damage through TAGRS and they will have the ability to view, edit, and update the report with known information including the moniker, gang or crew name. The second source of data wi ll come from crime reports. These reports will be entered in to TAGRS along with the photos of the damage. The investigating officer will then be responsible for adding any other known information, such as damage amount, moniker, and gang or crew name.
Upon the discovery of the i dentity of a graffiti suspect , the information will be added to TAGRS. Any future searches of TAGRS might reveal or uncover further graffiti incidents involving the same suspect allowing the suspect to be charged for all past incidents of graffiti.
