Schedule A
San Pablo 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
The San Pablo Police Department has seen an increase in DUI-related collisions year-over-year since 2023.
During this same time frame, there have been 5 fatal collisions which took the lives of six people. Three of these collisions involved an impaired driver.
Proven, evidence-based strategies will be used on an overtime basis to reduce the number of persons injured or killed in crashes involving impaired driving. Funds will provide our police officers with needed training to recognize the signs and symptoms of impairment for DUI investigations (alcohol and drug), saturations patrols for impaired drivers, and purchase needed equipment to support our DUI enforcement and prosecution efforts.
The San Pablo Police Safe Communities Project will provide our officers with advanced training and equipment that will enhance their ability to identify impaired drivers, hold them accountable, and save lives.
This project will also allow officers to engage with our community and educate the public on the dangers of impaired driving.
Problem Statement
The City of San Pablo is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, 20 miles northeast of San Francisco and on the western side of Contra Costa County. It comprises an area of approximately 2.6 square miles. The city encompasses a mixture of commercial and business districts as well as densely populated urban areas that consist of large affordable housing complexes, single-family residences, and multi-building apartment complexes. Much of the population live at or below the poverty line. San Pablo's geographic location to the City of Richmond, which boarders surround San Pablo, also brings a high level of violent crime and crimes involving alcohol into San Pablo City limits. San Pablo is located along Interstate 80. I -80 is a major freeway, running from the Nevada border to San Francisco, through Sacramento. During commute hours, I -80 is highly congested. San Pablo's major traffic corridor is San Pablo Avenue, which is a four -lane boulevard with a median strip for its entire length (7.39 miles). San Pablo Avenue stretches from the City of Oakland to the City of Rodeo. San Pablo Avenue is a major thoroughfare used as an alternate route for commuters who travel Interstate 80, and a return route from other social nightlife activities within the Bay Area.
The City of San Pablo currently has 65 businesses that are licensed to buy and sell alcohol products. This includes an Indian Gaming Casino (San Pablo Lytton Casino), restaurants, bars, liquor stores, grocery stores, and other local businesses. Three cannabis dispensaries have been approved to open for business in 2026 in San Pablo.
The City of San Pablo is centrally located for many college students and is home to Contra Costa Community College. Contra Costa College serves approximately 7,000 students each semester. This notably increases vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic that utilize the City of San Pablo streets and public transportation recourses to continue to their destinations. Many college-aged students participate in college parties and related events where alcohol and marijuana are used. A portion of this group of people make the poor decision to drive under the influence. The San Pablo Police Department responds to a high volume of alcohol and drug-related issues such as impaired driving complaints, DUI collisions, hit and run collisions, physical altercations, and domestic disputes.
The San Pablo Police Department is allotted 62 sworn officers, and we currently have 60 sworn officers. We have three academy recruits who will be attending academies this year. This will bring us to full staffing as well as replace a planned retirement position. The San Pablo PD Traffic Unit consists of two motorcycle officers and a sergeant. The traffic unit does not have dedicated traffic/ DUI enforcement vehicles outside of our department motorcycles. Not having dedicated traffic enforcement vehicles is a challenge for DUI enforcement or traffic enforcement, especially in inclement weather or during nighttime hours. Doing such operations requires borrowing patrol fleet vehicles which oftentimes are unavailable due to patrol needs.
Schedule A
Thanks to grant funding awarded to the San Pablo Police Department, from the Office of Traffic Safety (STEP) grant, the majority of our officers assigned to patrol have attended a Post SFST course. Prior to obtaining the first OTS STEP grant in 2021, only a handful of officers had received specialized training regarding DUI investigation. Historical data has proven that grant funding makes a huge impact on public safety. In 2020, the San Pablo Police Department made 49 DUI arrests. In 2021, our officers made 44 DUI arrests. In 2022, our officers made 74 DUI arrests. Since 2022, our DUI arrests numbers have significantly risen from 77 in 2023, 90 in 2024, to 137 in 2025. This is a 211% increase in DUI arrests, from 2021 to 2025.
These important data points are attributed to increased training for our officers and the ability to conduct DUI Saturation Patrols. This success is all thanks to grant funding, but we can do more. Collisions, and specifically DUI collisions, over the past three years have been on the rise. In 2023, our officers responded to 20 DUI collisions. In 2024, our officers responded to 29 DUI collisions. In 2025, our officers responded to 30 DUI collisions. Of these collisions, between 2023 and 2025, four people lost their lives due to impaired driving. The San Pablo Police Department responds to a high number of vehicle collisions each year considering the city is only 2.6 square miles in size. In 2023 our officers responded to 892 calls for service regarding traffic collisions. This number went down in 2024 with 875 and up again in 2025 with 882 calls for service regarding vehicle collisions. Since many officers do not have expanded training in regard to drug/marijuana related impaired driving, it is likely some of these collisions involved impaired drivers that went unnoticed.
The San Pablo Police Department views DUI enforcement as a critical pillar in our ongoing commitment to protecting the safety and well-being of our community. Impaired driving continues to be a significant factor in serious injury and fatal traffic collisions, and proactive enforcement is essential in reducing these preventable tragedies. Through focused enforcement efforts, officer training, and public awareness, the San Pablo Police Department works to deter impaired driving behavior and hold violators accountable. Our goal is not only enforcement, but prevention. Reducing the likelihood of injury or loss of life caused by impaired drivers and reinforcing the message that driving under the influence will not be tolerated in our community.
Performance Measures/Scope of Work (Proposed Solution)
The goal of the San Pablo Police Safe Communities Project is to prevent injury and save lives. Through specialized training in recognizing signs and symptoms of impairment (SFST, ARIDE, DRE), as well as DUI Saturation Patrols, the San Pablo Police Department will work to reduce DUI/DUID related incidents by 10% and DUI/DUID fatal collisions by 10%.
The following objectives must be accomplished to achieve the grant goal.
Objective One: Specialized Training (SFST, ARIDE, DRE)
1. Provide San Pablo PD Officers with the specialized training needed to be proficient and effective in identifying, locating, and apprehending DUI/DUID drivers. Officers able to attend such training gain confidence in their investigative abilities, complete detailed police reports, and are instrumental in prosecution efforts working with the District Attorney's Office. To accomplish this, officers will attend the following classes:
• (3) Police officers will attend a POST SFST course within one year of this grant. • (6) Police officers will attend a POST ARIDE course within one year of this grant. • Police officer will attend the CHP DRE course (class/field cert) within one year of this grant.
To accomplish the above mentioned, the request is for overtime backfill for patrol in place of the officers attending training.
Objective Two: Enforcement
1. San Pablo PD fields (5) patrol teams of (5) officers and (1) sergeant per shift (staffing dependent on injuries, vacations, etc.). Officers assigned to patrol work either four (10) hours shifts or three (12.5) hour shifts depending on weekday or weekend shifts. These officers will utilize their specialized training in DUI investigations in their normal assignments to further improve public safety.
Schedule A
• San Pablo PD will conduct fifteen (15) DUI enforcement saturation patrols. Each saturation patrol will be staffed by two officers and one sergeant. This will be an (8) hour shift each time throughout the year. These DUI enforcement details specifically target impaired drivers to reduce the number of injuries and fatal collisions. Officers working the DUI enforcement saturations will utilize their specialized training to stop and prevent impaired driving. Officers working the saturation patrols will also address primary collision factor (PCF) violations that are known to cause injury collisions.
• To strengthen our departments DUI enforcement and prevention ability, San Pablo PD will purchase (2) Black Dodge Durango Traffic/ DUI enforcement Patrol Vehicles for DUI/DUID enforcement. Officers assigned to DUI enforcement and saturation patrols will utilize the (2) dedicated marked "DUI Enforcement" Police Dodge Durango's to locate and apprehend impaired drivers and enforce primary collision factor violations (speeding, sign violations, unsafe turns, etc.) that are associated to DUI collisions. The purchase of marked DUI Enforcement Vehicles will serve as a highly visible deterrent to impaired driving within our community. The presence of these new vehicles on our roadways sends a strong message that impaired driving will not be tolerated and that proactive enforcement is a priority. High-visibility enforcement reduces risky driving behavior. When motorists see dedicated DUI enforcement vehicles (at checkpoints, on patrol, or highlighted through community outreach) they are more likely to think twice before getting behind the wheel while impaired. This visible commitment encourages safer decision making before a violation ever occurs. Promoting these vehicles through social media and community engagement efforts will amplify their deterrent effect. Public awareness of our investment in DUI Enforcement demonstrates transparency, accountability, and a firm commitment to protecting residents. It reinforces the message that safety is a shared responsibility between law enforcement and the community. By increasing visibility, strengthening enforcement capabilities, and promoting public awareness, we can create a safer environment for all throughout our community.
• Monthly estimated timeline of DUI Enforcement vehicle use: A minimum of fifteen (15) DUI/ PCF enforcement details will be completed within one year of receiving the grant. DUI/ PCF enforcement efforts will be scheduled primarily during nighttime hours on various days of the week. Statistical data will be recorded to generate quarterly reports on the use of the equipment and outcomes of the enforcement actions during the project performance period.
Personnel training will occur during the first to third quarters of the grant cycle.
The vehicle purchase will commence in quarter one, July 2026, and we expect to receive the vehicles during Quarter 2.
• We anticipate outfitting vehicles upon receiving them in Quarter 2 or Quarter 3. • We anticipate deploying them in Quarter 3 or Quarter 4. • We aim to remove or prevent impaired driving incidents on the road by 10%.
GOALS FOR SATURATION PATROLS IN INDIVIDUAL QUARTERLY PERIODS:
Saturation patrols will begin in August 2026 and continue monthly until May 2027 for 15 saturation patrols.
• Quarter 1 - July 1st through September 30th: (4) to be conducted (2 in August / 2 in September). • Quarter 2 - October 1st through December 31st: (4) to be conducted (1 in October / 2 in November / 1 in December).
• Quarter 3 - January 1st through March 31st: (4) to be conducted (1 in January / 1 in February / 2 in March).
• Quarter 4 - April 1st through June 30th: (3) to be conducted (2 in April / 1 in May).
Schedule A
Educational Presentations at Local Schools/ Community Meetings The San Pablo Police Department believes that community outreach and educational presentations are essential to building trust, strengthening partnerships, and promoting shared responsibility for public safety.
As part of its commitment to reducing impaired and traffic related injuries, the San Pablo Traffic Unit will conduct four (4) community presentations during the grant year focused on traffic safety awareness and DUI enforcement. These presentations are intended to educate the public on the dangers and consequences of impaired driving, encourage safe driving behaviors, and reinforce the San Pablo Police Department's dedication to proactive traffic safety efforts. Our goal is to contact at least 100 community members/ students each quarter. Two traffic officers will present during a four hour block each time (which includes presenta tion preparation, set up, and take down times).
• Quarter 1 - 1 presentation
• Quarter 2 - 1 presentation
• Quarter 3 - 1 presentation
• Quarter 4 - 1 presentation
Project Performance Evaluation
The San Pablo Police Department will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the project during the fourth and final quarter of the grant term. This evaluation will include a detailed summary of the grant's accomplishments, significant activities, and any challenges encountered throughout the project period. The Administrative Lieutenant, who oversees the traffic unit, will assess whether established goals and objectives were met or exceeded and, where applicable, provide an explanation for any objectives that were not fully achieved.
To measure performance and outcomes, the department will utilize Peregrine, a data management platform that extracts traffic collision and enforcement data from the departments RIMS/CAD system. This system allows for the collection and analysis of detailed information related to DUI related incidents. Grant-year data will be compared to baseline data from the prior year and subsequent year to identify measurable trends and assess the overall impact of grant-funded activities. Quarterly reviews will monitor progress, ensure accountability, and allow for strategic adjustments as needed.
This evaluation process reflects the department's commitment to measurable outcomes, transparency, and sustained efforts to reduce impaired driving and prevent injury and loss of life within our community.
Program Sustainability
The San Pablo Police Department views DUI enforcement and prevention campaigns as fundamental and strategic components in reducing impaired driving and preventing injury or loss of life. Grant funding provides critical resources and training opportunities that strengthen the department's long- term capacity to address impaired driving within our community.
Officers who receive specialized training will serve as internal sources, sharing their knowledge and experience with new recruits and lateral officers. This approach helps establish and sustain a culture centered on proactive, professional, and effective impaired driving enforcement that will endure well beyond the grant period.
The acquisition of dedicated DUI enforcement vehicles will further enhance sustainability by enabling the traffic unit to conduct saturation patrols and targeted enforcement operations without reliance on general patrol fleet vehicles or continued grant funding. These assets will remain in service for years to come.
By the conclusion of the grant year, nearly all officers will have completed Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) training, and the majority of patrol officers will have completed Advanced Roadside Impairment Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) training. The expansion of this specialized knowledge base significantly strengthens the department's ability to identify, investigate, and remove impaired drivers from the roadway.
These training investments, equipment acquisitions, and cultural enhancements will produce lasting benefits and reduce impaired driving-related injuries and fatalities within our community without a further need for future grant funding.
Schedule A
Administrative Support
The San Pablo Police Department Traffic Unit has successfully managed OTS STEP grants each year for the last five years. The 2026/2027 OTS STEP Grant was not submitted, which is why this grant opportunity is very important to our agency. The award of this grant would allow us to continue our success in removing impaired drivers off our roadways and keep our community safer. The Traffic Unit also manages an ABC mini grant. The San Pablo Police Department also has a Tobacco Unit which manages our DOJ -Tobacco grant.
Records are maintained and staff regularly update statistics. Grant finances/billing are maintained and processed by our Police Support Services Manager. The San Pablo Police Department is adequately staffed, motivated, and ready partner with our allied agencies and CHP to make our communities safer.
