Project Description
In 2024, the second highest primary collision factor in the City of Orange was DUI. The Orange Police Department remains committed to reducing impaired driving collisions and ensuring roadways remain safe for all travelers. The education and training of police officers is an integral component of our plan to reduce traffic-related injuries and deaths in the City of Orange. SFST, ARIDE, and DRE training as crucial elements of this plan. Providing training to officers will equip them with the necessary skills to keep the community safe.
This DUI education will reduce the number of impaired drivers on the road and increase public awareness of the agency's enforcement efforts. This will create a safe driving environment for everyone, which will lead to a reduction of traffic related injuries and deaths.
The Orange Police Department is dedicated to removing impaired drivers from the roadway. We have one full time officer dedicated to enforcing DUI laws. In addition to our full time DUI position, the City of Orange Police Department aggressively targets impaired drivers. In 2024, a total of 537 DUI related arrests were made. This was made possible by grant related activities funded by OTS and the Cannabis grant. In the 24/25 Cannabis grant, the City of Orange was awarded 24 DUI saturations. For the 25/26 Fiscal Year, we are requesting another 24 DUI Saturations so we may maintain our high level enforcement efforts.
Problem Statement & Proposed Solution
The City of Orange Police Department is committed to making Orange the safest city in the county. The City of Orange is the seventh largest city in the county and 44th is state. With a population of approximately 140,000 it serves and integral component of the county's transportation infrastructure supporting five major freeways, a MetroLink railroad terminal and the 241/261 Eastern Transportation Corridor. Based on the Orange Traffic Study of 2024, the average vehicle traffic flow is approximately 3,531,322 daily trips. The traffic study indicated a 2.4% increase of daily trips from 2022. Our priority is to make the City of Orange a safer environment for its community members and the motoring public.
The City of Orange had 14 fatal traffic crashes in 2022. In 2023, we had 9 fatal crashes and in 2024 we had 5 fatal crashes of which 3 were DUI related. These results would most likely be much larger given the increase in traffic flow had it not been for our aggressive impaired driving efforts and increased activity by certified DRE, ARIDE and SFST trained officers. The overall goal is to continue to reduce the number of victims impacted by impaired drivers and other traffic related offenses, which can be accomplished by providing essential training within the department and throughout the county. The primary concern is that of impaired drivers and their impact on society. It is evident that our grant funded DUI/DUID enforcement efforts are having a positive impact.
In 2024, DUI was the number two primary crash factor in the City of Orange. Despite this statistic, the City of Orange had 12 less DUI related injury traffic collisions from 2023. This decrease is directly attributed to the additional funding from 24/25 CHP grant. Additional resources and funding must be obtained to maintain DUI enforcement in locations of "high frequency" DUI arrests and crashes. To continue this aggressive enforcement efforts, we must deploy well-trained officers that are capable of locating and arresting impaired drivers.
A growing concern for the community is the development and expansion of Chapman University. The University has aggressively expanded their footprint to include many new off-sight satellite campuses located throughout the downtown area. Recreational cannabis use amongst students statewide, with limited public education regarding the effects of impairment, lends itself to an increase of DUI crashes.
Schedule A
Chapman University hosts a wide variety of events in and around their campuses, most notably at the Musco Center for the Arts. Additionally, the City of Orange opened a multi-level free parking structure adjacent to Chapman University and the downtown area which holds in excess of 600 vehicles. The parking structure serves to accommodate the continuously evolving downtown area. Old Towne Orange, once known for antique and specialty shops, has now become a robust entertainment district featuring fine dining restaurants, multiple bars and coffee houses. These prominent locations have significantly increased the amount of vehicle traffic in the downtown area, which has also lead to an increase in DUI related crashes and arrests.
In addition to our downtown area, the City of Orange holds a large outdoor shopping mall, The Outlets of Orange. Filled with retail stores, The Outlets offer several restaurants and businesses licensed for the sale of alcohol. Traffic is impacted in the area daily, as the mall is a popular shopping and entertainment experience for local residents and tourists visiting nearby theme parks. Also is close proximity to The Outlets is Angel Stadium and the Honda Center. While those venues are situated outside of our city limits, they are both located within a quarter mile of our border and contribute to a considerable increase for vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Patrons park their vehicles in various areas around the adjoining businesses and neighborhoods in order to avoid paying the parking fee at the venues. During these event periods, there is heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic in and around the areas of Katella and Orangewood. The events held at these venues contribute to an increase of intoxicated pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists in the city.
Public awareness is key to voluntary compliance of the law. High visibility and public awareness efforts are essential to reducing traffic collisions. Having the ability to deploy teams of officers to conduct high visibility enforcement activity at locations with a high crash rate or a corridor known to have an increased density of DUI drivers, significantly raises awareness and could dissuade impaired drivers from entering the roadway.
This could not be accomplished without CHP funding for new officer training and dedicated enforcement operations.
To accomplish these goals, the Orange Police Department is committed to reducing traffic related injuries' and fatalities through an aggressive educational and enforcement campaign, targeting impaired/unlicensed drivers, repeat DUI offenders and other traffic related violators. To highlight the department's commitment to keeping our roadways safe, we made 537 DUI arrests in 2024. This was possible in part to our full -time DUI officer, but largely due to the additional funds from the Office of Traffic Safety and the CHP grant to conduct additional DUI saturations and the equipping of our officers with the confidence to apply the knowledge they gained from attending SFST, ARIDE and DRE trainings though the Cannabis grant. For the 2024- 2025 year, we are committed to conducting 29 OTS funded DUI saturations. The City of Orange is looking to increase the amount of impaired drivers we remove from the roadway by requesting additional funding through the CHP Cannabis grant. These funds will allow the Orange Police Department to continue to be a leader in DUI enforcement and shows our commitment to keeping our roadways safe.
PROPOSED SOLUTION:
The Orange Police Department plans to continue its efforts to expand SFST, ARIDE and DRE certified officers and training cadre. The departments ability to teach not only our own officers, but officers throughout Southern California, creates a synergistic atmosphere required to positively impact impaired driving. The Orange Police Department has always placed an emphasis on DUI training, only bound by our financial limitations. During our 2024/2025 grant cycle, we hosted an SFST course which was open to outs ide agencies. We trained 12 Orange Police Department officers and 18 allied agency officers. We plan on sending 5 officers to ARIDE and 2 to SFST instructor in the following months. Due to planned retirements and natural attrition, the Orange Police Department expects to continually hire new officers for the next several years, who will need SFST and ARIDE training. The department is committed to working collaboratively with our regional partners to address the issue of impaired driving for the long term.
With the assistance of the CHP grant, the Orange Police Department will continue to address the growing concerns of drug-impaired driving by training more officers in SFST and ARIDE. This training will allow more officers to eventually seek DRE training. We are committed to hosting SFST training and eventually ARIDE training. To aid in our mission to provide training to our personnel and allied partners, we request the ability to backfill should it be necessary. The increased number of proficient officers investigating DUI's will assist us in working towards the goal of impacting impaired driving.
Conducting an additional 24 DUI saturation patrols during the grant cycle, will assist us with our goal of decreasing DUI collisions by 10%.
Schedule A
Performance Measures/Scope of Work
The Orange Police Department seeks to reduce injury, fatal, and hit-and-run traffic collisions involving motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists where the primary collision factor is DUI related. The goal will be accomplished by providing DUI training to police officers, thus empowering them to conduct aggressive DUI enforcement. In addition to this training, we would like to conduct 24 DUI saturation enforcements in the areas of the of the city where we experience high DUI related collision. Our goal is to increase the total number of DUI arrests during the current fiscal year by 5% while reducing DUI collisions by 10%, both of which can be measured on a quarterly basis.
OBJECTIVES:
• Send (5) eligible Orange Police Department Officers to an OPD hosted SFST Training course on overtime, regular time, and/or hire backfill. (Estimated to be completed in Q3) • (4) Instructors to provide instruction for (1) SFST Training course hosted by OPD on overtime ( to be completed in the Q3)
• Send (5) officers to ARIDE training hosted by another local agency on overtime, regular time, and/or hire backfill. (Estimated to complete in Q1 or Q2)
• Send (1) eligible Orange Police Department officer to DRE course on overtime, regular time, and/or hire backfill. (Including cost of field certifications) (Completed in Q4) • Send (1) eligible Orange Police Department officer to SFST Instructor course on overtime, regular time (Estimated completed by Q2 or Q3)
• Send (5) DRE trained officers to recertification courses when appropriate on overtime or regular time (Estimated to be completed by Q4)
• Conduct (24) DUI saturation patrols on overtime (Q1=6, Q2=6, Q3=6, Q4=6): AIM to increase DUI arrests by 5%
Project Performance Evaluation
As part of our computer statistics crime and traffic program, internal quarterly presentations will be presented to OPD staff to evaluate overall effectiveness. The analysis of traffic collisions, including DUI collisions, will be presented. This will help us achieve our goals and evaluate the appropriate use of police resources.
The Orange Police Department staff will record and maintain statistics related to impaired driving arrests.
Maintaining these statistics will allow the department to accurately report the effectiveness of our training and efforts or substantiate a need for additional training by in-house experts.
The Orange Police Department staff will keep any applicable notes as well as course/instructor evaluation documents over the duration of the grant period. These notes and evaluations will assist in proper record keeping and quality control. The review of these records will allow for adjustments to be made when necessary to provide the highest quality of training possible.
Program Sustainability
The Orange Police Department strives to become independent of federal funding the future. This goal will be accomplished by building an interdepartmental cadre of highly trained DUI officers and instructors who can assist with trainings, which will reduce the need to seek outside agency assistance. In the interim, this foundational cadre will allow the Orange Police Department to host additional trainings in the future grant cycles due to sending officers to SFST instructor and DRE courses in the prior grant cycles. The Orange Police Department is already recognized within Orange County and the Southern California region as a tenured training site for DUI enforcement.
Schedule A
Over the last few years, Orange Police Department officers have frequently topped the county -wide list of top performing DUI officers. Most recently, an OPD officer was recognized by Mothers Against Drunk Driving for earning the Triple Century and Top Cop awards in 2023 and received the Law Enforcement Leadership award in 2024. In 2024, Orange Police Department officers arrested 537 impaired drivers. Although our overall arrests are down from 2023, we did achieve a 12% reduction in DUI related injury crashes and 40% reduction is DUI related fatalities. The reduction of DUI related traffic injuries and deaths, is evidence the aggressive enforcement efforts by the Orange Police Department are having a positive impact in the community. This level of aggressive enforcement and general expertise is not uncommon for our agency, and we aim to continue providing high quality trainings both internally and to outside agencies to aid in the reduction of impaired driving. Our sustainability is dependent on the immediate training of new Orange Police Department officers. Inherently, these officers are less capable of identifying and arresting impaired drivers.
By offering SFST training to agencies free of charge, we and help assure more officers are able to receive the important and evolving information.
Also, by conducting 24 DUI saturation patrols, these officers will be able to put into practice the skills they have learned in the SFST, ARIDE and DRE courses.

The Orange Police Department staff will incorporate data collection throughout the project in order to evaluate program effectiveness. Staff to be involved in monitoring project progress will include a Traffic Lieutenant, Traffic Sergeant, Crime Analyst, and the Financial Analyst. The Orange Police Department will quantify its performance during the grant cycle by recording the number of Orange Police Department and outside agency employees who attend and successfully complete SFST courses we host.
The Orange Police Department has successfully managed and operated several traffic and DUI -related grants (OTS STEP) and has both the fiscal staff and resources to properly administer grant funds. Because of our agencies experience, there will be minimal need for training or other startup delays for this grant. The Orange Police Department administrative staff strongly supports our mission to stop impaired driving. All requested documentation and proof of proper fund use will be maintained and provided in a timely manner.
