This Division works closely with our current ambulance provider, American Medical Response (AMR), to provide basic and advanced life support services to the residents, visitors, and businesses in National City. The Operations Division ensures there is a Fire Department Paramedic responding on each suppression apparatus i.e., Engine 34, Truck 34, Engine 31, and Squad 33 in order to provide Advanced Life Support measures in a timely manner.

partnerships with local organizations and providing tailored services to underserved populations.

By focusing on a comprehensive approach that prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion, the library aims to create a more welcoming and engaging environment that meets the diverse needs of all patrons
.

Ile] promoting lifelong learning and enrichment within the community • The introduction and additional grant funding for the State-funded Family Literacy Program at the National City Public Library represent a significant advancement in supporting both youth and parents in their literacy development. This initiative goes beyond traditional literacy efforts by emphasizing educational outreach to families at higher risk and those less likely to engage with public libraries. By targeting these underserved communities, the library aims to make a meaningful difference in early literacy and provide vital resources and support for families as they work toward their learning goals. In its first year, the program has surpassed its initial objectives threefold.

• The collaboration between the National City Public Library’s Literacy, Technical Services, and Local History programs with local educational institutions such as Southwestern College and Pima Medical Institute is a strategic initiative that benefits both students and the community. By offering work -study opportunities, students can engage in literacy efforts as well as technical services and local history projects. This approach not only enriches their educational experience but also strengthens the library ’s resources and support systems for families in need. These partnerships foster a mutually beneficial relationship that encourages community involvement and expands educational opportunities for everyone involved.

• With ongoing support from the state-funded Lunch at the Library program, our library has the opportunity to serve nutritious lunches to children aged 18 and under throughout the summer months, while also providing enriching educational activities. This initiative helps combat food insecurity among young people and ensures they continue to have access to valuable learning resources during their school break. By integrating meal service with educational programs, the library plays a crucial role in promoting the well- being and development of children in the community, making a meaningful difference in their overall quality of life.

• The library's continued participation in the Link+ program underscores its dedication to expanding access to resources beyond its own collection. By joining forces with other libraries in the consortium, cardholders can borrow books that are not readily available at the National City Public Library at no additional cost. This collaborative initiative among various California public and academic libraries through Link+ enables patrons to access a wider range of materials, enriching their reading and learning experiences while reinforcing the ethos of shared resources and community support.

LIBRARY

• The ongoing collaboration between the National City Public Library and key partners such as the State Library, local school districts, the FLEET Science Center, and the Stephen Birch Aquarium highlights a commitment to providing comprehensive STEAM programming for the community. By leveraging these partnerships within the National City STEAM Collab, the library can offer a diverse range of engaging and educational opportunities that promote science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics for various age groups. This collective effort ensures that the community has access to high- quality STEAM resources and programming.

• T hrough a state-funded sustainability program the library has open the tool lending library that enhance community access and support environmental sustainability. By providing free access to tools for low -income individuals, the library not only promotes financial inclusion but also encourages the reuse of resources, contributing to a more sustainable community. This innovative approach aligns with the broader goals of promoting equity, reducing waste, and fostering a culture of sharing and collaboration, ultimately benefiting both individuals and the environment.

• The library's proactive approach in securing funding from both traditional and non- traditional sources reflects its commitment to enhancing the learning and enjoyment experiences of patrons. By diversifying its funding streams, the library can create a more sustainable and varied range of opportunities for its community members. This strategic pursuit of resources allows for the development of innovative programs, services, and resources that cater to the evolving needs and interests of patrons, ultimately enriching their overall library experience.

DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION
It is the purpose of the National City Police Department to protect the diverse community we serve with duty, honor and integrity in order to provide the highest level of public service possible to residents and visitors. Providing this level of service means improving public safety by working to prevent and reduce crime, while respecting the rights and dignity of others.

The Police Department is comprised of 92 sworn officers, 45 professional staff members and numerous volunteers who serve approximately 58,460 residents within nine square miles.

Through Crime Prevention tactics, the Police Department works to recognize potential crimes , then takes action to address them . We are dedicated to public education on crime prevention techniques so that residents, visitors and business owners are less likely to be victimized.

Our Department-wide goals are accomplished through intentions set by annual staffing recommendations, evaluation of the Department’s organizational structure and continued improvement of the services we offer.

The National City Police Department practices continuous improvement of our community-based policing philosophy by increasing outreach; reform and expansion of detective-based duties and making ourselves more accessible to the public.

This Department has two divisions, Administration and Operations. Within each of the these two divisions are several specialized units (Patrol, Investigations, Dispatch, Records, Internal Affairs, Community Services, etc.)
PATROL DIVISION: NEIGHBORHOOD POLICING TEAM I and, TEAM II The Patrol Division is the largest division in the Police Department, providing the community with first responders 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Homeless Outreach Mobile Engagement (HOME)
The Homeless Outreach Mobile Engagement (HOME) is a specialized group who work in conjunction with PERT ( Psychiatric Emergency Response Team), Alpha Project, McAlister Institute, and Code Enforcement to provide wraparound services for the homeless. The team is relationship focused and works to find individual solutions to the problems that have members of our community living on the streets.

Mobile Field Force (MFF)
These officers are specially trained to respond to public shows of civil disobedience, such as riots, and use organized tactics to disburse crowds and bring about order.

Canine Unit (K-9)
Officers assigned to the Canine Unit work with police service dogs within the Patrol Division. They are responsible for building and area searches, tracking suspects and objects, and provide officer assistance during felony calls and tactical operations. During critical incidents, K-9 units provide essential support that minimizes the risk and danger to officers and citizens. This unit routinely works cases involving felony vehicle and pedestrian stops, search warrants, and fleeing suspects.

Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) and Crisis Negotiations Team (CNT) Officers are selected from throughout the organization to fill these two speciality assignements .

These officers train on a monthly basis to maintain the ability to support division operations. Both teams are involved in high-risk search warrants, barricaded suspect and hostage situations, and active shooter incidents.

In addition, Animal Regulations Officers hold animal education seminars, coordinate public dog rabies vaccination and licensing clinics, and act as the liaison between the City , contract veterinarians and the animal shelter.

COMMUNITY SERVICES UNIT

DEPARTMENT ORGANIZATIONAL CHART

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES

The National City Police Department has some significant changes and notable accomplishments over the last year that will extend into the new Fiscal year. These significant changes since July 1, 2024 include:

• Staffing new police officers, to bring the Police Department to a total of 92 sworn Police Officers.

• Upgraded Department Operations Center (DOC). A DOC is a physical facility or location similar to the City/County Emergency Operations Center (EOC). However, the purpose of a DOC is to manage and coordinate events specific to that department, which in this case would be the Police Department.

• Collection of RIPA data. RIPA, known as the Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA), the bill requires all law enforcement agencies in the state to “collect perceived demographic and other detailed data regarding pedestrian and traffic stops”.

Business Liaison Program
The City along with the National City Police Department has created the Business Liaison Program with the goal of improving the partnership between City government and the b usiness community. Specifically, the program exists to resolve conflict and chronic quality of life issues such as illegal dumping, graffiti, loitering, prostitution and homelessness, affecting the business community in National City.

Officers assigned to the Business Liaison Program also make recommendations for security improvements in and around businesses.

Youth Advisory Group
Students from Sweetwater High School participate as members of the Chief’s Youth Advisory Group, which meets quarterly to discuss youth, community, and law -related topics that concern the youth. Members of the Advisory Group also participate in community events.

Cadet Program
The National City Police Department Cadet program was established in the mid ‘60s. It is a component of the Public Safety Cadets (PSC). Participating students must be at least 14 years old and in the ninth grade, with a minimum 2.0 GPA. They must also pass a background investigation and oral interview.

Cadets attend bi-weekly meetings and receive training to help patrol officers during various events in the City such as crowd control, traffic direction and provide other assist ance at community events.

After becoming a Cadet, candidates are required to attend either a Beta Academy or live- in academy during the first year of membership. In these academies, Cadets learn defensive tactics, handcuffing techniques, traffic stops, physical training, firearms, arrest and control and criminal law. The Cadets also host one fundraiser to help offset costs of member events such as the end of year trip to Knott’s Berry Farm and Padres Games. Cadets are encouraged to get involved in related social events such as field and camping trips as well as Cadet Scouting sponsored events throughout San Diego County.

Senior Volunteer Program (SVP)
The Senior Volunteer Program is made up of civilian volunteers who patrol the streets as an extra set of eyes and ears for the Police Department. In addition to patrolling their community , SVP members help alleviate police use by working community events. Members of the Seni or Volunteer Patrol must pass a background check, have medical clearance, possess a valid driver’s license, be at least 50 years old, and live within the County of San Diego.

Shop with a Cop
As part of a regional law enforcement tradition, the National City Police Department has participated in the Shop with a Cop event. This community-based event pairs officers with children from their community during the holiday season for a day at Seaworld and Target. This event is made possible with contributions made to the STARPAL group and the hosting agency. Last year, the National City Police Department was the host agency and carried the majority of the fundraising events for this worthwhile cause.

INVESTIGATIONS DIVISION

Investigations Division detectives respond to homicides, crimes against children and other serious crime incidents. The Investigation Division manages complex and proactive crime scene investigations using emerging technology, as well as continuing to investigate “Homicide Cold Case” reviews.

Gang Enforcement Team (GET)
Members of the Gang Enforcement Team (GET) focus on gang crime and coordinate with detectives regarding gang-related investigations for proactive enforcement to prevent gang crime.

These officers work in a uniform capacity by performing nightly street patrol s, conduct presentations on gang awareness for various groups and prevent “at risk” youth from joining gangs through a campaign of education, intervention and awareness. Gang Enforcement officers work with the San Diego District Attorney’s Office to investigate complex gang cases and identify some of the most violent offenders.

Property and Evidence Unit
The Property & Evidence Unit is staffed by civilian personnel. The Unit’s primary duty is to receive and safeguard impounded evidence and seized property from officers as well as maintain the integrity of the chain of custody. The Unit also processes evidence collected during National City Police Department investigations , which includes fingerprints, DNA, video, photographs and evidence work requests from the District Attorney’s Office.

Crime Analysis Unit
The Crime Analysis Unit is the clearinghouse for Law Enforcement intelligence information and crime data for the Police Department. The Department’s civilian Crime Analyst reviews all crime related reports and performs data mining and analysis to produce statistical reports on crime trends and series to assist in solving crime s. The Analyst tracks crime patterns and forecasts when and where future criminal activity is likely to occur, which often leads to arrests. The crime data and statistical reports from the Crime Analyst allow police administrators to use department resources in a more efficient manner. Crime information is also provided to officers and other agencies through the use of the Automated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS).

SUPPORT UNITS
