Schedule A
Pacifica Police Department
The Grantor determined awards and adjustments based on the Project’s merit, operational scale, compliance with the Request for Application (RFA), and program regulations. Certain activities or budget items proposed in Schedule A may have been deemed ineligible for funding. The final, binding list of authorized activities and expenses is set forth in Schedule B - Detailed Budget Estimate.
Project Description
With only 0.84 officers per 1,000 residents, compared to the national average of 1.7 officers per 1,000 residents, the Pacifica Police Department lacks the resources to deploy officers solely for DUI and DUID enforcement during their regular shifts. Without any full-time traffic officers, the department relies heavily on patrol officers to carry out DUI/DUID enforcement operations. However, when officers are assigned to overtime shifts specifically for DUI/DUID enforcement, they tend to be very productive, completing between 20 and 30 enforcement stops, issuing multiple citations, and often making one or more arrests While our officers are successful during these special details, it is currently not feasible to conduct DUI/DUID saturation patrols regularly due to the financial strain this would place on the department’s budget.
The Pacifica Police Department is seeking grant funding to increase the frequency of these operations and to update and replace equipment used during DUI/DUID Saturation Patrols and DUI Checkpoints. The Pacifica Police Department is also seeking grant funding to support the purchase of two Dataworks Mobil Identification Devices to assist in the positive identification of DUI/DUID offenders when other practical means have been exhausted.
In conclusion, the goal of this proposed project is to equip members of the Pacifica Police Department with the tools they need to effectively enforce DUI/DUID-related incidents and to provide them with the necessary equipment to safely and efficiently identify unknown substances.
Problem Statement
The City of Pacifica is a city of approximately 37,000 residents covering approximately 12 square miles along the coast of Northern California in the San Francisco Bay area. State Route 1 is the major highway that traverses the entire length of the city and is a major commuting route for residents of the City of Pacifica as well as other coastal communities to the north and south. State Route 35 also travels through a portion of Pacifica jurisdiction for a distance of 1.7 miles. In addition to commuters traveling through Pacifica, there is a substantial amount of tourist and visitor traffic, particularly during the summer months. Over time, traffic in and through the City of Pacifica has increased as the coastal communities have grown in population. At one time, it was rare to have traffic congestion through the City of Pacifica, but this is now a regular occurrence, especially during morning and evening commutes. In recent years, there have been several instances where commute traffic was brought to a near standstill where it took in excess of 40 minutes to travel a distance of four miles on State Route 1. These traffic issues have stemmed from poorly timed road repairs and unfortunate crashes which have blocked portions of the roadway. There have also been recent instances of road closures in other coastal communities which left State Route 1 as the only road open to access the coastal areas of our county. This resulted in an exponential increase in traffic and traffic related issues in our community.
Over the last several years, we have been fortunate to maintain a low number of fatal crashes, however, in 2024/2025 the Pacifica Police Department responded to 308 traffic collisions with 60 of those collisions being DUI/DUID related collisions. The Pacifica Police Department has also made 161 arrests for DUI/DUID during that time frame. Many of these DUI arrests were made during Overtime DUI/DUID patrols funded by grants received by OTS and CHP.
Schedule A
The City of Pacifica is considered a "bedroom community". There is very little industry or commercial activity to increase revenue. Due to a variety of financial issues over the years, the Pacifica Police Department has faced consistent budget cuts that have resulted in decreased staffing. Currently, the Pacifica Police Department has 35 authorized sworn officers compared to the 42 authorized positions it had previously. At this staffing level, the Pacifica Police Department has .84 sworn officers per 1000 residents. Over the last few years, the Pacifica Police Department has had several officers out at one time due to work-related injuries and illnesses, making our actual available staffing less than what is shown on paper. According to a 2017 report by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the national average for similarly sized police departments in the United States was 1.7 officers per 1000 residents. This equates to Pacifica having less the half the national average of officers than similarly sized cities. As a result, the only way the department can have dedicated DUI Patrols is on an overtime basis.
The funding requested will allow the Pacifica Police Department to fund 6 DUI/DUID saturation patrols and conduct one DUI/DUID Checkpoint and continue to proactively enforce the issue of impaired driving. The requested funding will also allow for the purchase of (2) Dataworks Mobile Identification Fingerprint Scanning devices. We will utilize the mobile identification devices during both DUI/DUID saturation patrols, DUI/DUID Checkpoints, and general operations. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of unlicensed drivers and motorists with no means of identifying themselves. In addition, the Pacifica Police Department has conducted investigations and enforcement of subjects who knowingly provide false identifying information to officers in order to prevent prosecution or to evade arrest. With the use of the mobile identification devices, officers will have rapid and reliable access to critical identifying information. This will assist in verifying driver status, warrants, prior DUI convictions, and license restrictions in real time. The devices reduce delays and enhance decision-making during roadside investigations. This information supports probable cause determinations and allows for DUI/DUID enhancement decisions to be made based on prior offenses or convictions. This strengthens the overall case investigations and supports successful prosecutions.
Additionally, streamlined identification processes enable officers to focus more attention on detecting impairment, conducting standardized field sobriety tests, and ensuring that impaired drivers are safely removed from the roadway.
The requested funding will also support the purchase of new lighted/reflective traffic vests and LED flashlights to be used when conducting DUI/DUID saturation patrols and DUI/DUID Checkpoints. During DUI/DUID enforcement operations, officers are often working on the side of busy roads at night or in low-light conditions, where visibility is poor and the risk of being struck by a vehicle is very real. Reflective traffic vests help drivers see officers from a greater distance, giving motorists more time to slow down or move over safely. Pacifica Police Department officers are encouraged to wear their reflective vests when conducting roadside field sobriety tests and are mandated to wear them during checkpoints and traffic control operations. Flashlights are just as important, allowing officers to clearly see inside vehicles, watch driver movements, spot signs of impairment, and safely conduct field sobriety tests. Proper lighting also helps officers stay aware of traffic and other potential hazards around them. Both the lighted/reflective vests and dependable flashlights are basic but critical safety tools that help keep officers safe while they focus on removing impaired drivers from the road.
The Reflective Vests and Flashlights will be issued to all officers and supervisors at the patrol level eligible to participate in DUI/DUID enforcement activities.
The department is also requesting funding to purchase 4 Pen Lights to be issued to our active DRE officers to assist them in detecting impairment in DUI and DUID investigations.
Performance Measures/Scope of Work (Proposed Solution)
6 DUI/DUID Saturation Patrols (Q1 = 2, Q2 = 2, Q3 = 2, Q4 = 0): Conduct 2 saturation patrols in each Q1, Q2, and Q3 aimed to reduce Pacifica PD's DUI Injury Collision rate by 20%, which will improve traffic safety for the commuting public.
1 DUI/DUID Checkpoint (Q4 = 1): 1 DUI/DUID Checkpoint to be conducted in Q4. Aimed to reduce DUI/DUID by 20%, which will reduce the number of impaired drivers in the community Purchase:
(2) Dataworks Mobile Identification Devices. (Q1=Purchase, Q2=Receive, Q2-Q4= Use to complete DUI/DUID saturation patrols, DUI/DUID Checkpoints and day-to-day operations): We will utilize these devices to positively identify unknown offenders and support probable cause determinations and successful prosecution of DUI/DUID offenses.
Schedule A
(35) Reflective Traffic Vests. (Q1=Purchase, Q2=Receive, Q2-Q4=Use to complete DUI/DUID saturation patrols, DUI/DUID Checkpoints and day-to-day operations) (35) LED Flashlights. (Q1=Purchase, Q2=Receive, Q2-Q4=Use to complete DUI/DUID saturation patrols, DUI/ DUID Checkpoints and day-to-day operations):
Both the Reflective Traffic Vests and Flashlights will be utilized during operations to enhance officer safety and visibility during high traffic and low light conditions. (4) Pen Lights. (Q1=Purchase, Q2=Receive, Q2-Q4=Use to complete DUI/DUID saturation patrols, DUI/DUID Checkpoints and day-to-day operations):
Project Performance Evaluation
In order to prove the effectiveness of this enforcement program, the department will maintain records/statistics for all enforcement details throughout the grant performance period. This data will be compared to the previous two years’ worth of data for the same time period (i.e. July 2024 to July 2025, July 2025 to July 2026). Data from the year with grant funding can then be compared to previous years without grant funding which will show how impactful the enforcement efforts have been. The department’s current Record Management System allows for this data to be easily captured and shown through tables, charts, or graphs. Likewise, the department has implemented a new community-facing web portal that will allow the community to access these types of records and search them, making the data readily available 24 hours a day.
Program Sustainability
Studies have shown that when enforcement efforts are increased during a specified time period, there is a correlating decrease in the issues being targeted. Several studies have shown that when enforcement efforts are increased or decreased by a measurable amount, 10 or 20% for example, the number of collisions during that time period and immediately following either increased or decreased nearly the exact same amount. This shows that an increase in efforts has a positive effect in reducing collisions whereas a decrease in enforcement efforts results in an increase in collisions. This effect carries over to various aspects of law enforcement, but specifically with DUI’s. The department would make full use of this grant funding to substantially increase our DUI Enforcement Efforts while simultaneously promoting the efforts and associated results on multiple social media platforms, through press releases, and through the use of our existing electronic sign boards. Once a measurable impact has been established, the department could slowly decrease the frequency with which we conduct Saturation patrols to the point where the details are being conducted during dates/times that are driven purely by measurable, statistical data. By that point, a targeted, measured response would allow us to continue having a high impact with less resources.
Administrative Support
Sergeant Travis Meyerhoff will be managing the grant. He has 14 years of law enforcement experience and is currently assigned as the Traffic Sergeant for the Pacifica Police Department. Sergeant Meyerhoff has served as a grant manager for Pacifica PD's OTS STEP Grant since 2024 and the Under 21 Coast Task Force since 2020, a multi-agency collaborative effort aimed at addressing alcohol crimes and underage drinking.
Additionally, he has been a member of the Pacifica Police Department's collision investigation team (CRASH) for 11 years. Sergeant Meyerhoff has experience actively managing officers assigned to grant-funded details and operations, ensuring that only the most proactive and productive officers in traffic and DUI/DUID enforcement are selected for grant-funded enforcement activities.
Our fiscal staff for the City of Pacifica will oversee the financial aspects of this grant, as well as any other grants the city may receive. Through their oversight and experience, they ensure compliance with all state and federal regulations.
