ia Narcotic Officer’s Association Annual Training Institute, International Association of Chief’s of Police Traffic Safety Conference, and one Traffic Bureau Sergeant to the Lifesaver’s conference. All these conferences offer advanced training specifically
related to impaired driving detection, trends, science, and equipment.
For enforcement efforts, we propose to deploy two cars marked with “DUI Enforcement” for DUI Saturation patrols once a week and conducting DUI Checkpoints using alternative methods to include Low Staffing Checkpoints, Phantom Checkpoints and Roving Checkpoints.
Phantom Checkpoints are also referred to as “Flexible Checkpoints” or “Mock Checkpoints.”
This strategy
involves setting up but not fully staffing a checkpoint or stopping vehicles on the line, rather it gives the appearance of a checkpoint adding a deterrent.
Phantom checkpoints can be set up in addition to a low
staffing checkpoint or a full checkpoint to increase the deterrent effect.
NHTSA found no adverse effects and
potential positive effects of using these types of checkpoints when they were used by the Illinois State Police in 2017.
Determining the Effectiveness of Flexible Checkpoints (nhtsa.gov)
Roving Checkpoints or also referred to as Highly Mobile Sobriety Checkpoints involves setting up a low
staffing checkpoints for a shorter time (1 to 2 hours) at a location, then moving the low staffing checkpoint to another location.
This was used effectively by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department and highlighted
in
the NHTSA publication, “CREATING IMPAIRED DRIVING GENERAL DETERRENCE: EIGHT CASE
STUDIES OF SUSTAINED, HIGH
-
VISIBILITY, IMPAIRED
-
DRIVING ENFORCEMENT.
EXAMINING SUSTAINED, HIGH VISIBILITY, IMPAIRED DRIVING, GENERAL DETERRENCE,
ENFORCEMENT STRATEGIES
(nhtsa.gov)
Both Phantom Checkpoints and Roving Checkpoints are not supported by OTS current funding.
They can be
used in conjunction with each other such as identifying several phantom locations for the evening and setting up cones, signage, and cars at
each location.
The checkpoint team can then move to each location for
several hours.
When the checkpoint team moves on, the location becomes a phantom checkpoint.
With this
grant funding, Napa PD intends to utilize these alternative options for greater
deterrent to DUI.
Problem Statement & Proposed Solution
The City of Napa has a documented problem with DUI driving and DUI collisions.
In 2022 the public works
department commissioned a Local Roadway Safety Plan.
The plan analyzed data from 2016 to 2020 and
found DUI collisions made up 20% of all Fatal and Severe injury collisions.
The report recommends
additional enforcement for DUI detection.
Information from UC Berkeley’s Transportation Injury Mapping System shows 15.8% of all injury collisions in are DUI related (1997 to 2022).
This is higher than the
statewide average of 11.2%.
For the most recent data our online crash reporting system, Crossroads, shows DUI (Alcohol and Drug) collisions were the highest in 2023 with 48 alcohol involved collisions, 4 drug involved collisions and 1 alcohol/drug combo collision for a total of 53.
The data shows a total of 42 for 2022, 39 for
2021 and 40 for 2020.
DUI Collisions increased in 2023 even while DUI arrests also increased from 183 in 2022 to 220 in 2023.
The
increase in arrests may be attributed to increa
sed funding from the California Office of Traffic Safety for
Schedule A
specific DUI enforcement.
However, OTS has strict criteria for funding that require minimum staffing and procedures.
It is always a challenge to prepare and staff these large details in advance .
Most of our DUI
arrests can be attributed to a small number of officers in the department.
DUI detections and investigations
can be time consuming and complex, especially when a search warrant is required for testing.
Officers with
specialized trainin
g and dedicated to DUI detection have been found to have higher detection and arrest rates for DUI.
We have seen success with providing advanced DUI training and conference officers.
Performance Measures/Scope of Work
Training
1. Send 4 ARIDE/DRE traine
d officers to the California Narcotic Officer's Association Annual Training Institute November 21
-
26, 2024.
Aim is to increase knowledge of drug impairment, drug trends and expert knowledge for court.
Officers should return more confident in their expertise and refocused on drug impaired driving.
www.cnoa.org/ati
2. Send 4 ARIDE/DRE trained officers to the International Association of Chiefs of Police Impaired Driving and Traffic Safety Conference, August 16
-
18, 2024, in Washington, DC.
Aim is to increase
knowledge of DUI detection, DUI trends and expert knowledge for court.
Officers should return more
confident in their expertise and refocused on DUI enforcement.
The IACP IDTS was previously the
Drug Recognition Annual Training conference.
This is the p
remier advanced training for DRE's and
Impaired driving enforcement nationwide.
This training is not available anywhere
else.
www.theiacp.org/IDTSconference
3. Send 1 Traffic Bureau Sergeant to the Lifesaver's Conference on Traffic Safety 2025 (location an d
date TBD).
Aim is to increase knowledge of best practices across the country in impaired driving, trends in traffic safety and technology to address impaired driving.
Sergeant should return with
strategic information for future planning.
The Lifesav
ers conference is one of the largest gatherings
of traffic safety professionals across the country.
Repreasentatives from NHTSA, State Traffic Safety
Offices, Law Enforcement, Educators and Engineers.
This invaluable training is not available
anywhere el
se.
www.lifesaversconference.org
4. Funding to pay overtime to officers training or to backfill the vacancies created when officers/sergeants attend training.
The AIM is to minimize the disruption to patrol and traffic safety during training.
DUI Enforc
ment Activities
1. Weekly DUI Saturation patrol (2 officers, 2 cars, 6 hours) (Q1 = 13, Q2 =13, Q3 = 13, Q4 = 13):
Having one high visibility enforcement each week we will be able to have dedicated specialized enforcement on a regular basis that will be easi
ly staffed.
This will provide several benefits.
It will
allow officers time to focus on DUI enforcement, building their skills and confidence.
The patrols
bring attention to other officers who may dedicate additional discretionary time to DUI detection.
The
public will also see DUI patrols more frequent.
The cars will be equipped with "DUI
ENFORCEMENT" markings during DUI patrols to further the deterrent effect.
Patrols will be focused
on times and days where DUI collisions are occurring.
Saturation
officers will log all stops, SFST s
and arrests.
Aim is to reduce DUI collisions or prevent
DUI
collisions from increasing (53 in 2023).
2. Conduct 4 alternative DUI/DL Checkpoint Deployments (Low Staffing, Phantom, and Roving) (Q1 = 1, Q2 = 1, Q3 = 1, Q4 =
1).
Checkpoint includes pre and post detail publicity. Napa PD will count each car that is screened in the checkpoint and all drivers contacted in secondary.
Information regarding
the number of DUI arrests and other violations would be documented and rep orted.
Aim is to reduce
DUI collisions or prevent
DUI
collisions from increasing (53 in 2023).
The effectiveness of this performance will be measured by the number of DUI/DUID related collisions and the number of DUI/DUID drivers arrested during this grant period compared to the number of DUI/DUID drivers arrested during the same time from one year prior. It is the hope of the Napa Police Department to reduce the
number of DUI/DUID related arrests and collisions by a minimum of 10% during this grant perio d
compared to last year (July 2023
-
June 2024).
Project Performance Evaluation
The Napa Police Department utilizes the Crossroads Collision reporting system.
We will use the data from
impaired collisions during the grant period and compare them with prior
years to determine the effect and
success of the programming.
For all activities, we will document officer’s actions for contacts, stops, arrests,
Schedule A
etc.
These data points will be compared with prior year information from our records management system.
The Napa Police Department communicates internally with the department members and with the public through multiple channels.
Internally, a DUI BOLO is prepared each month and disseminated through email and on department digital displays.
Grant objectives, results and activities would also be displayed throughout the department.
Officers
involved in training will conduct in
-
person briefings to bring back trends and information from grant -
funded
training.
Externally, the department utilizes pre and post press releases, Instagram and Facebook to provide information about grant activities.
There is also an opportunity to receive feedback through our social media portals.
The Traffic Bureau maintains a web page with contact information listed.
The grant will be listed on
our web page with information on impaired driving.
The Traffic Bureau gives community presentations
throughout the year where feedback will be solicited.
Program Sustainability
Should grant funding be drastically reduced or rescinded, the Napa Police Department would have to request additional funds be allocated for former grant activities.
This is dependent on City Finances and City Council.
The training and experience portion of the grant activities will continue after funding has ended.
The
advanced training officers receive will build confidence and expertise, which will be shared with other officers every day.
Officers conducting DUI saturation patrols or checkpoints will have opportunities to focus on DUI enforcement and build their skills.
These skills and confidence will last beyond the grant period and extend to the department.
Lessons learned from alternative DUI/DL checkpoint deployments could be continued using other fundi ng
sources or requested from the Office of Traffic Safety.
Administrative Support
The Napa Police Department has extensive experience with Traffic Safety Grants.
The Traffic Bureau
Sergeant administers 4 OTS grants and assisted the Napa County Probation Department in obtaining their DUI grant in FFY 2023/2024.
In FFY 2022/2023 the Napa Police Department utilized over 90% of the funds allocated and completed most of their objectives.
The department has the staff to report and administer the grant.
O
ur Administration Management Analyst is available to exercise financial
support while the Traffic
Bureau Sergeant administers
the day
-
to
-
day
operations.
We utilize electronic time reporting with the ability
to track grant activity hours.
The City of Napa executive staff and Napa City Council support the mission of the Traffic Bureau “To Reduce Injury and Fatal Collisions in the City of Napa.”
