Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The State of California Department of Highway Patrol (CHP) has awarded the Sacramento Police Department $218,027 from the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program (CTFGP) to provide financial assistance to provide education and prevention services and enforce laws related to driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, including cannabis and cannabis products.
Policy Considerations: These recommendations are consistent with City Council Resolution 2025- 0162, Section 11.1 which states that City Council authorization must be obtained when such an action is required by a grantor.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: As defined in Section 21065 of the California Public Resources
File ID: 2025-01368 8/26/2025
Code, this action is not considered a “project” and is therefore exempt from California Environmental Quality Act requirements.
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: The primary purpose of the grant is to educate the public regarding the dangers of impaired driving, enforce impaired driving laws on the roadway, and improve the Sacramento Police Department’s effectiveness through training and development of new strategies. The grant will support services/supplies, travel/training, and overtime for driving-under-the -influence (DUI) enforcement and public education initiatives.
The most recent California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Crash Rankings reveal that between 2021 and 2022, Sacramento’s overall ranking remained the same when compared to the 14 other California cities with populations of 250,000 or more, with the lowest numbers ranking “highest” or “worst.” The below tables demonstrate the year-to-year change in the number of victims killed or injured in traffic crashes and the number of crashes, as reported by OTS.

According to OTS data, there was an overall 7% decrease in crash fatalities and injuries from 2021 to 2022. However, during the same period, fatal and injury crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists increased. Impairment due to drugs and/or alcohol was frequently associated with these incidents.
Additionally, there was a notable rise in hit-and-run crashes, nearly 8%, while nighttime crashes declined by approximately 8%.
Financial Considerations: The costs to conduct this work are fully grant-funded; no general fund resources are required to support the grant activities and objectives.

Project Description
The Sacramento Police Department is committed to the safety of the public on Sacramento roadways. The department boasts a dedicated unit of Traffic Officers specializing in traffic laws, impaired driver detection, drug experts and trainers. To promote this commitment, the Sacramento Police Department is increasing the size of the unit by more than 50%. Adding additional Officers allows for increased enforcement, specifically covering the afternoon, evening, and night hours. Additional Officers also expands our reach into the communities we serve through outreach and engagement. Engagement of the community is a foundation at this Department that create opportunities to educate and promote safe and sober driving.
The addition of new Traffic Officers means increased equipment and advanced training needs. In return, the more robust Traffic Unit will be able to bring educational classes to high school and college aged drivers, host POST certified training classes (SFST, ARIDE), send Officers to advanced training (DRE, DRE conference), and conduct saturation and checkpoint operations to supplement current enforcement efforts.
The money allocated from this grant will bolster the Sacramento Police Departments commitment to traffic safety and community engagement through activities proposed in this grant application.
Problem Statement & Proposed Solution
The City of Sacramento is situated in the Sacramento Valley between the western Bay Area and the Sierra Nevada Mountain range to the east. Sacramento is home to more than 528,000 residents. Sacramento welcomes over 15 million visitors each year, and nearly 5 million of those visitors come through Downtown Sacramento alone. There are over 250 major sporting events, concerts and conventions in Sacramento that account for nearly 500,000 visitors and attendees each year. There are four major freeway systems (Interstate 5, Interstate 80, US Highway 50, and CA Route 99) that run through the City connecting surrounding suburban areas such as the cities of Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, Folsom, West Sacramento, and Roseville to Sacramento. These freeways are commuter corridors that directly connect other major areas to Sacramento like the Bay Area, and the Central Valley. Based on the most current available data, during 2021 and 2022, SPD arrested 1,925 drivers for DUI-related offenses. In 2022, Sacramento had over 40 fatal vehicle crashes.
Sacramento Police Department data from 2019 to 2020 reveals no changes in the top three primary crash factors (PCFs) for injury crashes from the previous year. In order, they are 1) unsafe speed, 2) vehicle right of way violations and 3) improper turning. Available 2020 data indicates that when combined, these factors accounted for 57% of all injury crashes; however, these factors were not the primary causes of the fatal crashes. The primary crash factors that were the leading cause of fatal crashes for 2020 were pedestrian violations and driving under the influence (DUI). Between 2017 and 2018, OTS Crash Rankings for the Sacramento area worsened, resulting in the fifth-highest incidence of fatal and injury crashes for the state's 15 largest cities. Similarly, Sacramento's composite ranking dropped from third to second.
In 2022, total DUI related crashes combined at 261. Additionally, there were 20 pedestrian related crashes, 574 speed related crashes where persons were killed or injured in 2022.
In 2021, OTS DUI arrest rankings showed SPD ranked 14 of 15 among comparable cities, making us the second lowest performer in DUI arrests. Additionally, in 2021, SPD ranked worst (1 of 15) for alcohol involved fatal and injury crashes. This means SPD’s collision rate involving alcohol is disparately higher than our arrest rate for DUI offenses.
Schedule A
In 2022, The Sacramento Police Department made 852 DUI arrests. In 2023, we increased the size of the traffic unit and made 948 DUI related arrests. For 2023 and 2024 we had a combined 1187 alcohol involved collisions. Over those two years we had 763 DUI's as the Primary Collision Factor in collisions. Of those, 319 involved injury and a total of 503 people were injured in those crashes. There were 11 DUI fatal crashes in 2023 and there were 9 in 2024.
The Sacramento Police Department plans to take a balanced approach to traffic safety with specific emphasis on education and enforcement specifically for impaired drivers,
Funds from this grant will bolster the implementation and training of a four (4) Officer, full-time swing shift traffic enforcement team with a primary focus on impaired driving enforcement, sideshow abatement, and general traffic enforcement between the hours of 3pm-1am.
Like other local governments, budget deficits have caused an impact on the ability to fund personnel, trainings, equipment, supplies and traffic related community engagement. Despite these challenges, the City of Sacramento and the Sacramento Police Department are committed to increasing roadway safety. Funds from this grant will assist our agency to more effectively combat unsafe driving; especially impaired driving from drugs and alcohol. Through the proposed community outreach, continued and advanced training, and updated equipment, we will continue the process of reducing impaired driving and eliminating DUI related roadway deaths.
Performance Measures/Scope of Work
10 'Start Smart' Safe Teen Driving classes. (One class per month-excluding November/December): Aim to contact at least 100 students and 100 parents to provide knowledge to new and perspective drivers regarding the responsibility of driving a vehicle, and the implications and dangers of driving impaired by drugs and alcohol. Providing such educational presentations to the community offers the Police Department engagement with its residents, as well as capture a specific demographic at risk as it relates to substance abuse and fatal collisions. While unable to quantitatively measure outcome, contact and engagement with the community is immeasurable. Statistics show only 8 arrests for juvenile DUI (23136vc/23140vc) between 2023 and 2024. While it is unknown if the low statistic is due to the lack of committed violations, we would aim to decrease DUI juvenile arrests by 5%.
While independent of the CHP Start Smart program, the Sacramento Police Department Start Smart program is modeled closely to CHP's program. We have offered the course to city residents for approximately 10 years. The classes are held at the Police facility located in downtown Sacramento. Each class is 3 hours worth of instruction, with 1 hour for setup and teardown.
2 SFST classes. (Two classes per year- Winter academy grads=1, fall academy grads=1): Aim to teach new, inexperienced Officers DUI detection basics according to POST standards. While there is no quantitative measure for this activity, we aim to provide the training and tools to Officers to have the confidence to make the best arrest /don't arrest decision possible. We aim to increase DUI arrests by 10%.
6 ARIDE classes. (One class every other month): Aim to provide knowledge to field Officers for the advanced detection of impaired drivers. With this advanced training, we aim to see an increase of DUI arrest by 10%.
There were 835 DUI arrest in 2024. We aim to make 900+ arrests in 2025 / 2026 grant cycle.
2 Officers to DRE school. (Depending on CHP course availability): Aim to send and return 2 Officers who will be available for drug detection while on patrol. Having DRE Officers on duty and available is essential for correct evaluation and prosecution of DUI drug cases. Without a DRE evaluation, the case may be rejected for prosecution. With more DRE Officers, we aim to see a 10% increase in successful prosecution of dangerous drug DUI offenders.
2 DRE Officers to DRE instructor school. Having multiple DRE instructors allows our department to host more advanced trainings and offers diversity of instruction.
4 Officers to IACP DRE Conference (August 2025): Aim to provide experienced Officers with continued training in efforts to bolster department SFST, ARIDE and DRE trained Officers.
Schedule A
1 DUI Checkpoint (April 20th, 2026): Aim to conduct a checkpoint specifically targeting the well-known "420" date. Historically, April 20th is known as the 'Pot Holiday'. Coined in the 70's, the phrase became popular and gained popularity in the 90's as the universal phrase for Cannabis consumption. A DUI checkpoint on this day communicates to the public "Drive High=DUI". Utilizing message boards, signage and printed material will deliver messaging and information on the dangers and driving while impaired. We aim to reduce DUID driving by 10%.
4 DUI saturation patrols (Q1=1, Q2=1, Q3=1, Q4=1): Aim to conduct intensive DUI saturation patrol in each quadrant of the city where data shows the highest occurrence of DUI related crashes / arrests. Conducting directed DUI enforcement communicates to the community a commitment to public safety and the enforcement of traffic law which will reduce the number of impaired drivers in the community. We aim to reduce DUID driving by 10%.
DUI investigation Supplies/Material - 30 Life Loc FC10 Plus devices, 2000 PAS mouth pieces, 4 bottles of .100% calibration gas, 500 printed, spiralbound/laminated DUI reference guides for field Officers.
Reference guides will be issued to any Officer attending our SFST or ARIDE class, or working DUI checkpoints or saturation. We aim to put 2 SFST classes with approximately 25 Officers and 6 ARIDE classes with approximately 25 Officers for a total of 200 guides. An additional supply of 100 for Officers working checkpoints and saturations. (Q1=Purchase, Q2=Receive, Q2-Q-4= Use to complete DUI checkpoints / saturation.
4 BMW Police Motorcycles (Q1=Purchase, Q2=Receive, Q2-Q-4= Use to complete DUI checkpoints / saturation and education). We will utilize the patrol motorcycles in the course of DUI saturations and DUI checkpoints.
Project Performance Evaluation
In December of 2024, the Sacramento Police Department launched a full-scale version of real-time data tracking and automated analysis through the Microsoft PowerBI dashboard software. This system automatically pulls subsets of data specific to traffic reports and calls for service. The primary focus of the system is DUI related calls for service, DUI arrests, traffic collisions, and vehicle stops made by members of the department’s traffic teams. The data can be queried and compared to the last 5 years, and the dashboard allows for direct reporting and alerts to the traffic supervisors. This system will be utilized under this program to track in both real-time and historically the performance of the traffic teams, and patrol officers on their direct impact to collisions and DUIs in the City. The dashboard directly reports and tracks DUI arrests made in the City. With this powerful tool, we can quantitatively track trends and effectiveness of project activities.
To evaluate community presentations, we will actively advertise our events and request feedback from attendees to gauge effectiveness of engagement. Positive comments will be noted, as well as ideas to improve considered and implemented.
Internally, we will track the number of Officers trained in SFST, ARIDE and DRE and determine correlation in arrests made.
Within the unit we have an Equipment Officer who tracks and maintains all vehicles within the unit. Any vehicle equipment will be closely monitored and regularly maintained to ensure effective use toward program goals.
We also have a PAS coordinator who will track and maintain the PAS devices and ensure the proper calibration, maintenance checks, logging and disbursement to field Officers for investigative use.
Providing Officers with quick reference field guides gives Officers access to proper SFST test, verbiage, validated clues, and DUI vehicle codes. Having this reference will increase proficient DUI investigations and therefore increase DUI arrests. Anecdotally we want to hear that the reference guides are of help for the Officers. Qualitatively, we hope to see an improvement in performance of FST's upon review. Quantitively, we hope to see ANY measurable increase in DUI arrests and successful prosecutions.
Schedule A
Program Sustainability
The Sacramento Police Department has committed resources to the continued effort of reducing incidence of impaired driving by creating a team of Officers directing enforcement during night-time hours. The department will sustain the team indefinitely, and the funds received by this grant will only serve to help outfit the unit for stand-up. Continued professional and advanced training will continue as the department creates a culture of DUI enforcement as a top priority not only in our jurisdiction, but also with allied agencies within the region.
We recognize that continued efforts are needed in order to realize long term results. Sustaining the efforts to reduce DUI is a priority for the department whether grant funds exists or not.
Administrative Support
The Sacramento Police Department has a robust administration consisting of Managers, Supervisors, sworn Officers and Professional staff to manage grant monies, procurement, and activities. We have a dedicated Administrative Analyst, as well as an Administrative Technician assigned to the unit to process the finances and procurements approved through this grant.
This agency has a long history of successfully managing grant programs. The most relevant program is the OTS STEP grant program which the Sacramento Police Department has managed for two decades. The agency has developed forms / spreadsheets, and processes to effectively track and manage activities, hours, data and financials related to grant programs.
Finally, we have existing processes in place to track time spent on grant activities during our payroll processing.
