Resolution No. 2012-070 (3)RECEIVED JAN 17 2013 CITY CLERKS OFFICE c /ate113 RECEIVE® JAN 17 2013 CITY ADMINISTRATION M P111E COMMUNITY SERVICES & WATER DEPARTMENT DATE: January 8, 2013 STAFF REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Samuel Kevin Wilson Director of Community Services & Water RE: Police Department Staffing Study Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the attached City of Vernon Police Department Staffing Analysis Report conducted by Matrix Consulting Group. Backaround Pursuant to one of the reform recommendations in Mr. Van de Kamp's July 29, 2011 Independent Reform Monitor Report, in May of 2012 the City Council approved the execution of a contract with Matrix Consulting Group to perform an independent analysis of the City of Vernon's Police Departments staffing needs. The report attached herewith provides an assessment of the efficiency and effectiveness of the Police Department operations, identifying the strengths and improvement opportunities related to delivery of service, organization and staffing of the Department. The initial stage of the work consisted of Matrix Consulting Group obtaining and analyzing crime statistics, response time workloads, costs and other data from the Police Department internal records. In addition, Matrix Consulting Group conducted interviews with Police Department personnel, stakeholders in the community and City Administrative staff to obtain an understanding of any issues or concerns regarding the level of service being provided. A steering committee consisting of a Member of the City Council/Public, the Police Chief, Police Captain, Police Lieutenant and Police Union representatives, the Chamber of Commerce General Manager, Interim City Clerk and myself was formed. This committee met several times with the consultant to review the draft reports and provide guidance to the consultant. After several months of work, the consultant has produced a final report a copy of which is provided herewith. In brief, Matrix Consulting Group concludes that the City's patrol section is currently staffed appropriately; however, the Department needs to develop a plan for a higher utilization of the police officers proactive time. Additionally, they have found that the City can reduce one individual from the Detective ranks, determined that two additional dispatchers should be hired and the command structure should be simplified. Finally, they concluded that due to the amount of proactive policing time available the City could consider providing police service to a neighboring community. This will allow for a better utilization of Vernon staff and provide a cost savings to the neighboring community while reducing Police Department's operational cost to the City. Matrix Consulting Group is scheduled to make a presentation of its finding and conclusions outlined in the report at the January 22, 2013 City Council meeting. They will be available to answer any questions you may have regarding the report at that time. COMMUNITY SERVICES & WATER DEPARTMENT OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Mark C.

INTRODUCTION Matrix Consulting Group was retained by the City of Vernon to conduct a Police Department Staffing Study. The final report, which follows, presents the results of the study. This study, which began in the summer of 2012, was designed to provide an assessment of the efficiency and effectiveness of Police Department operations, identifying strengths and improvement opportunities relating to service delivery, organization and staffing, as well as management. In reaching the concluding point of the study, the project team has assembled this final report which summarizes our findings, conclusions and recommendations where appropriate. 1. STUDY METHODOLOGY In this Police Department Staffing Study, the Matrix Consulting Group project team utilized a wide variety of data collection and analytical techniques. The project team conducted the following analytical activities: • At the outset of the project, the study team interviewed the Police Chief and his management team. The project team also interviewed the City Manager. The purpose of these interviews was to develop an initial understanding of the issues and background which led to this study. • The project team conducted an intensive process of interviewing staff in every function within the Police Department. These interviews included staff at every level in the organization — managers, supervisors and line staff. • While on site, the project team collected a wide variety of data designed to document workloads, costs, service levels and operating practices. The project team developed a descriptive summary, or profile, of each function within the Police Department — reflecting organizational structure, staffing, workloads, service levels and programmatic objectives. Matrix Consulting Group Page 1 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis • To obtain input from external stakeholders from the business community the project team conducted a focus group meeting which was coordinated by the Vernon Chamber of Commerce. Individual meetings with other business constituents were also conducted. • Throughout the process the project team reviewed findings, conclusions and recommendations with the Vernon Police Department as well as with a project steering committee. This study was comprehensive in method to meet a comprehensive scope of work. 2. SCOPE OF WORK. From the beginning, the scope of this project was comprehensive and included the following: • Determining appropriate service levels in each law enforcement function in the Vernon Police Department. Determining appropriate staffing levels for each law enforcement function at the appropriate level of service. • Determining if resources are managed effectively in terms of planning and scheduling work, ensuring that service delivery targets are met and cost effectiveness is encouraged. Clearly, the scope of work for this assignment was comprehensive. However, because of the budget situation in the State and country, this study's focus was also to provide both the City and the Police Department with analysis and guidance regarding law enforcement needs in the context of ensuring that existing resources were utilized efficiently and cost effectively. 3. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS The following recommendations are made in this report: Matrix Consulting Group Page 2 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis PATROL Develop a plan for higher utilization of the proactive time available to patrol officers in the field. Target authorized field staffing at 21 officers, exclusive of traffic, K-9 and Sergeants. Maintain existing authorized staffing levels in Traffic Unit. DETECTIVES The Vernon Police Department should reduce the ranks of Detectives by one 1position. Implement best management practice case management approaches to include the use of solvability factors at screening and ongoing case reviews. Continue the practice of assigning Detectives and the Detective Ser eant collateral duties. SUPPORT SERVICES Increase staffing in the unit by three additional Dispatchers to meet the one non -peak and two peak staffing level without excessive use of overtime and the use of police officers to cover a console. Make no changes to the staffing or base procedures of the Records Unit. Make no changes to the staffing or base procedures of the Property and Evidence function, though delegate more responsibility to the Vernon Service Officer. Reorganize and simplify the command structure of the Vernon Police Department, bringing the Investigations Lieutenant under the Captain and the Records Manager under the Support Services Lieutenant. FEASIBILITY OF PROVIDING CONTRACT SERVICES TO THE CITY OF MAYWOOD The City of Vernon should begin to pursue providing contract services to the City of Maywood — it provides cost savings to Maywood, cost deferrals to Vernon, improves the utilization of Vernon staff and regionalizes an important public safety service. Matrix Consulting Group Page 3 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis 2. PATROL STAFFING ANALYSIS This report provides the project team's analysis of the Patrol. Division of the Vernon Police Department. This chapter is organized as follows: • Current organization of the Patrol Division • Overview of Matrix Consulting Group's methodical approach • Analysis of Patrol proactive time • Analysis of Patrol staffing needs. • Analysis of Specialized Enforcement Units (i.e., Traffic, K-9) The first section, which follows, provides a brief overview of the organization and operations of the Patrol Division. 1. OVERALL ORGANIZATION AND ASSIGNMENT OF PERSONNEL IN THE PATROL DIVISION. The Patrol Division consists of both patrol operations as well as specialized unit assignments. However, most special assignments (e.g., mobile field force) are collateral assignments of patrol personnel. The total number of positions assigned to each shift is shown in the table, below: Shift Watch Lieutenant Sergeant Patrol Officers Officers (K-9 and Motors Morning 1st Watch 1 3 11 1 Day 2" Watch 1 3 10 3 Total 2 6 21 4 2. OVERVIEW OF THE MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP'S PATROL STAFFING METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH. While it would be useful to identify a "golden rule" of law enforcement staffing needs, the utilization of comparative or per capita measures do not provide for an Matrix Consulting Group Page 4 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis appropriate evaluation of field staffing needs, nor should it be used as the primary basis for a local government to measure the effectiveness of law enforcement services. As a result, the Matrix Consulting Group does not use a "per capita" or "per 1,000" ratio as an analytical tool in assessing field staffing needs, for the following reasons: Ratios do not consider the seriousness of the workload levels of the jurisdictions being compared. For example, the crime rate should be considered in any comparative analysis of workloads, specifically, the number of serious crimes in a community (e.g., homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, and larceny). Ratios do not consider a jurisdiction's approach to alternative service delivery or "differential law enforcement response." The use of civilian personnel, or lack thereof, to handle community -generated calls for service and other workloads has great potential to impact the staffing levels of sworn personnel. The level / amount of civilians (i.e., community service officers, telephone reporting, online services, etc.) can be used to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of sworn personnel handling higher priority calls in a community. These resources are not calculated in staffing ratios. Ratios do not consider the differences in service levels selected, or capabilities, which a jurisdiction may have for their law enforcement services (e.g., community -oriented or problem -solving oriented, a reactive versus proactive philosophy, the utilization of City-wide resources in solving problems, etc.). All of which add to the inability to compare the necessary number of field patrol personnel. Ratios do not consider other differences which have an impact on regular patrol staffing needs such as existence of special enforcement / support units as well as operational approaches (e.g., the use of field citations versus arrests, manual versus automated and field reporting systems, and whether patrol officers are expected to follow-up on certain investigations). Ratios do not take into account topographical differences (i.e., square miles of a service area) and other response impediments, which can impact patrol staffing needs. For these reasons, the project team does not use "per capita" or "per 1,000 residents" ratios as a way for our clients to measure effectiveness in providing law enforcement services, or as a determinant in developing staffing needs. The project Matrix Consulting Group Page 5 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis team's analysis of the Vernon PD considers the need for a balance of community - generated workloads and the availability of proactive time to generate activities. The following subsections describe this analytical process. (1) The Analysis of Field Patrol Resource Requirements Should Be Based on Actual Workloads Handled and Appropriate Targets of Proactivity. The Matrix Consulting Group utilizes a method in which the number of field personnel required is based on an analysis of the unique workloads and service level requirements of a community. In order to evaluate these resources and staffing issues, the project team conducted a data collection and analytical effort focusing on: • Determining community generated workloads in the detail necessary to understand the work volume and the time required to handle it. Call for service workloads are a critical first element in this analysis — while field personnel have choices in how calls are handled, they must be handled in some way. • Targeting an amount of time to be proactive in a directed kind of way (i.e., special enforcement of high -crime areas, etc.). Proactivity is the centerpiece of our analytical method because without it, field services will not be effective in addressing the problems to which they are responding. • The field resources used to handle calls for service and proactive workloads based on officer availability levels (after taking into account personnel time for vacation, sick, etc.). • Deployment and scheduling utilized by the Vernon Police Department. • How calls for service are managed. The project team employed a model based on these decision points in evaluating officer field staffing for the VPD, in terms of workload, service levels, and overall operations. (2) Key Workload and Data Inputs Utilized in the MCG Patrol Staffing Model. Officers dedicate time to responding and handling community -generated calls for service, as well as related activities, including reports, arrests / bookings, back-up Matrix Consulting Group Page 6 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis assistance, etc., as well as the associated time commitments for these elements. These elements are described in the following subsections. (2.1) Calls for Service and Proactive Workloads. The initial critical data input required to evaluate field resources is to document the types and amount of work handled by patrol officers in the field. There are two kinds of activity handled by patrol: Reactive Workloads — handling requests for service. Proactive Workloads — The consequence of having uncommitted time in the field, time which should be directed and measured. The table, below, documents the distribution of citizen -generated calls for service by time of day and day of week from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011. The CAD system data was used to determine the number of CFS.

The Vernon Police Department utilize a 'call prioritization' system to manage field resources. The priority classification system in described below: • Priority 1 — High Priority Response (family fight; 911 call -unknown nature; possible mentally ill person). • Priority 2 — Priority Response (burglary or robbery alarm; suspicious vehicle, person or circumstances; disturbance). • Priority 3 — Routine Response (loud noise or music; property damage accident; patrol check). • Priority 4 — Routine Response (petty theft; meet person in lobby; auto burglary). • Priority 5 — Delayed Response — Low Priority Incident (barking dog; misc. info.). The following table shows the breakdown by priority of the types of calls for service in Vernon: Calls for Service by Priority VPD ICY 2011) Type Count % of Total Priority 1 139 3.1% Priority 2 2,095 46.7% Priority 3 2,045 45.6% Priority 4 164 3.7% Priority 5 20 0.4% BD 19 0.4% Total 4,482 100.0% As shown above, approximately 3% of the for service in 2011 were Priority 1 calls for service, a benchmark level in effective call prioritization systems in most communities. (2.2) Call for Service Response Times While not directly an element in our methodology, the measurement of response time is a common and useful element in understanding the service delivery picture, including the adequacy of field resources and their effectiveness. The following table Matrix Consulting Group Page 10 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis shows the percentage of calls for service that were responded to within various time ranges. The "travel time" is from the time the call was dispatched to an Officer until the arrival of the first police unit. The times were determined using VPD data and calculating the difference between the "dispatch time' and the "on scene time" for the first arriving unit.

The calculations for the call handling times showed that Officers' response time was an average of 5.2 minutes for all calls for service and the average on scene time was 31.3 minutes. Combining the travel time and the on scene time equals an average call handling time of 35.4 minutes for the primary Officer. Final Priority # of CFS Average Travel Time Average On Scene Time Average Call Handling Time 1 139 3.4 47.2 52.7 2 2095 5.1 13.0 20.5 3 2045 5.9 28.7 37.6 4 164 4.5 21.3 28.6 5 20 3.9 28.1 33.3 8 2 4.9 9.4 15.9 9 9 8.5 71.2 80.5 BD 8 6.3 5.0 13.7 All 4,482 5.2 31.3 35.4 Officers also respond as backup units to assist the primary Officer on many calls for service. The CAD system used by Vernon PD captures the number of calls where Officers respond as a back-up Officer and also the amount of time Officers spend as a back-up Officer. The CAD data showed that back-up Officers responded to 3,112 of the 4,482 CFS in 2011 - a 69.4% back-up rate. This means that an average of 1.69 Officers responded to each call for service in 2011. This average backup rate is near the back up rate the project team has seen in other departments. The project team uses an average time for the back-up Officer of 75% of the primary Officer's call handling time - in Vernon this equals 18.3 minutes. Matrix Consulting Group Page 12 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis (2.4) Analytical Elements Compiled The table, below, shows each of the time elements described in this report relating to the time spent by officers responding to citizen generated calls for service: Factor in Call For Service Handling Time How Data Was Determined Benchmark VPD Time Required Primary Unit Handling Benchmark based on MCG 30-40 minutes/call 35.4 minutes/call Time (dispatch to experience.

This includes time spent by all units and includes travel time, on -scene time, arrest time, and reporting writing. Matrix Consulting Group Page 13 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis (2.6) Officer Availability The second important workload element is the amount of time available for field personnel. The table, below, provides the calculation of the "net availability" of police officers in patrol in Vernon together with the source of the data or assumption utilized. The project team defines net availability as the number of hours that an Officer is available to perform key roles and responsibilities .after the impact of leaves and administrative responsibilities have been subtracted from gross scheduled hours. Calendar Year 2011 Est. Hours/ Patrol Officer Source Gross Hours Scheduled 2,080 Payroll Use of Leave i.e., vacation, sick, holiday) 439.1 Leave Report Total Unavailable Hours After Leave 439.1 Above Calcs Net Hours Worked 1 641 Above Calcs % Annual Availabilit Hours Lost meals, briefing, fueling etc 1.5 hours/avail shift 79% 211 Above Calcs Interview Training 94 Training Data Court 16 Interview Total Available Hours Per Year 1,303 Above Calcs % Net Annual Availability 63% Above Calcs The table, above, shows that the average Police Officer in VPD is available for work in the field 1,303 hours during CY 2011 (1,641 hours net of leaves). The points, below, expand on several key issues identified in the table: • The payroll system shows that Police Officers are available 1,641 hours after all leave categories have been accounted for. This is equivalent to 79% of the time. This includes the impact of long-term disability, family medical leave and other factors that take an officer out of the patrol schedule (vacation, sick leave, etc.). • The project team made a number of hypothesis regarding the impacts of administrative responsibilities, court, training as well as time off factors associated with meals, etc based on interviews and observations. These suppositions are described below: Matrix Consulting Group Page 14 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis Meals and Breaks were assumed to take a total of 45 minutes per shift actually worked (i.e., after regular days off, leave, training, meetings, and court time were accounted for) per officer. This assumption was based on bargaining agreements. Shift Briefing, Fueling, Shift Checks was observed and is implicit to take 45 minutes per shift actually worked per officer. Training time was based on data provided by the department. Data indicates an average of 94 hours annually. Typically, training is scheduled during "pay -back" days, when available. Court is assumed to take 16 hours per year of on -duty time. This is in addition to overtime court time, not performed during on -duty hours. The next section describes how the preceding workload elements and officer availability factors are utilized to evaluate patrol staffing and field deployment issues. 4. ANALYSIS OF PROACTIVE TIME LEVELS INDICATES THAT WORKLOAD AND PERSONNEL EXPERIENCE HIGH LEVELS OF PROACTVITY. This section provides the Matrix Consulting Group's analysis of proactive time calculation related to the Vernon Police Department's patrol services. (1) Proactive Time Targeting The Matrix Consulting Group developed an analysis of proactive time to assist in the evaluation of current patrol deployment and determine staff resource allocation and, ultimately, likely staff requirements. The concept of proactive time is very important in law enforcement — it is the amount of time available to field deployed officers after handling community generated calls for service and related workloads. The concept of Reactive (and Proactive) time is widely acknowledged by various established bodies, including the International Association of Chiefs of Police, Northwestern Universities Police Allocation Model, etc. The following points underline the importance of this: If field personnel are committed to calls for service response a large proportion of the time and have little "unobligated" time, they have little capability to undertake Matrix Consulting Group Page 15 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis self -initiated activity, impact the root causes of crime and quality of life issues, or to work closely with citizens of the community. • Moreover, field personnel with little uncommitted time find it difficult to produce response times that are within community expectations. This is particularly problematic for emergency responses where life is potentially endangered or property severely jeopardized. Police departments that have developed a problem -oriented or community policing program based on effective use of proactive time typically have an average range of 40% - 45% uncommitted time, but can reach up to 50% or higher dependent upon the unique operating circumstances of the law enforcement agency. (2) Proactive Time Calculation The sections that follow show hourly proactive time levels and overall proactive time based on these deployment strategies. (2.1) Proactive Time Levels — Calls for Service Workload by Hour/Day. Based on the data provided for 2011, the Matrix Consulting Group developed a table, below, showing the amount of time dedicated to handling community -generated calls for service by hour and by day of week. The data is founded on the previously noted 70.4 minutes average handling time for a call for service.

Overall proactive time for the 24-hour period is calculated at 79% — well above the proactive targets noted previously. • Proactive time levels are above the desirable time of 50% in the majority of time blocks. • The proactive time model does not include the time available for K9 and Motor staff. These personnel are not typically included into the VPD minimum staffing requirements and thus must be assumed not available to be used as a primary call for service responder as needs dictate. In fact, however, these staff are regularly used in only a back-up, support, etc. Based on proactive time modeling, there are adequate VPD Patrol resources available to perform the most effective policing in the industrial community. Proactivity Matrix Consulting Group Page 18 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis levels are often very high in smaller communities with low call volumes. As a result, the more critical question is how these high levels of proactivity are utilized. 6. IN VERNON, THE PROJECT TEAM CANNOT UTILIZE ITS PATROL STAFFING FORMULA BECAUSE OF ITS SIZE AND LOW CALL VOLUMES. This section provides our calculation of the total patrol officer staffing needs for the Vernon Police Department based on community -generated activity and common proactivity targets. These calculations incorporate officer availability as well as additional personnel needed to cover turnover (i.e., extra time needed to cover staff losses and time needed to recruit, hire, and train new officers). Vernon PD — Patrol Officer Staffing Needs 1. COMMUNITY GENERATED WORKLOADS Calls for service (citizen only) 4,482.00 Handling Time 2,644.38 Back up Rate 0.69 Handling Time for Back Up Units (estimated, based on 75% of initial units) 26.55 Total Time for Back Up Unit CFS Handling 1,368.47 Number of Reports 2,114.00 Total Time for Report Writing (Target of 30 Minute Average) 1,057.00 Number of CFS Arrests / Bookings (Actual, based on 2011 data) 226.00 Time to Process CFS Arrests / Bookings (Estimated) 50.00 Total Time for CFS Arrests / Bookings 188.33 TOTAL TIME TO HANDLE COMMUNITY GENERATED WORKLOADS 6,258.18 2.

PER OFFICER AVAILABILITY Net hours worked each year 1,303.26 5. PATROL OFFICER REQUIREMENTS WITH 10% TURNOVER 50% of Available Time 9 As the table shows, based solely of call for service workloads and common proactivity targets, would require few officers to deliver service to the community — Matrix Consulting Group Page CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis resulting in fewer than two officers per shift. This cannot be used as the basis for targeting staffing needs in Vernon for the following reasons: • It would not allow for handling concurrent calls, especially if one or both require back up. • It would not allow for the expectations for the different kind of 'community policing' which occurs in such an industrial city like Vernon which requires: — Extensive meetings with business owners. — The development of security plans for large and complicated industrial facilities. — The different requirements for even traditional types of proactive business checks because the prevailing businesses are far more complicated than in most communities comprised of small business, strip malls, etc. As a result, a key question is how existing high levels of proactivity are utilized in Vernon? The table, below, adds together time commitments related to proactive and call for service workloads. While it should be noted that many forms of proactive workload are not counted in CAD systems, the information in the table is instructive.

As a result, while there are many proactive workloads, the amount if time this takes is relatively low. Recommendation: Develop a plan for higher utilization of the proactive time available to patrol officers in the field. Matrix Consulting Group Page 21 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis 7. A MORE EFFECTIVE APPROACH TO DETERMINING THE NUMBER OF PATROL OFFICERS REQUIRED IS BY SELECTING A LEVEL OF SERVICE CAPABILITY IN THE FIELD. The project team believes that in a small community, such as Vernon, the number of officers required and budgeted for should be based on a service capability much like a fixed post staffing plan in a facility. A.reasonable approach would be to select the ability to handle two concurrent calls for service, each requiring back up. At current availability levels this would equate to the following: • Sufficient officers to field four (4) units per shift, or eight (8) per day. Use of net availability of 1,641 hours per officers per year, adjusted for turnover. • The resulting calculation is for 21 officers assigned to patrol. This level of staffing does not include officers assigned to special enforcement functions of traffic and K-9. Recommendation: Target authorized field staffing at 21 officers, exclusive of traffic, K-9 and Sergeants. 8. ANALYSIS OF THE TRAFFIC UNIT This section presents the project team's analysis of the Traffic Enforcement Unit in the Vernon Police Department. Details regarding the Unit are provided in the Profile. However, the following summarizes major aspects of the Traffic Unit: • The Motorcycle Unit is directly overseen by the Lieutenant. The Motorcycle Unit is authorized two (2) officers during day shift. • Day shift operates from 0630-1900 hours on a 12.5-hour work schedule. The following sections assess this unit. Matrix Consulting Group Page 22 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis (1) The VPD Traffic Unit Provides a Wide Variety of Enforcement Services. The Traffic Unit is responsible for providing a wide variety of services ranging from traffic enforcement to special event traffic control and response. The duties and responsibilities of the Unit are broad, and various functions take a considerable amount of Unit time. The primary services provided include: • Traffic Unit staff provides traffic control and other attendant services at most special events and daily events. These events occur throughout the year but are typically focused in the spring and summer. • The Unit provides escort services for funerals, special services, etc • The Traffic Unit provides vehicular accident response and investigations, either as primary (first on -scene) unit or as requested by a patrol squad. Traffic Unit staff typically perform these duties on Day and Early shifts whereas patrol officers accomplish this during Late shift. • The Unit provides traffic enforcement services which includes the generation of written citations, parking citations, provision of verbal warnings, etc. This is the typical function of most motor units with a primary goal related to reducing the occurrence of death and injury -related vehicular accidents. The Unit provides calls for service response, back up to Patrol and self -initiated workload. This results in outputs such field interview cards, arrests, incident reports, and the like. The next section evaluates the performance of the Traffic Unit and of traffic enforcement more generally in Vernon. (2) The VPD Motorcycle Unit Completes Citations Slightly Below the Best Management Practices Benchmark of 1.0 Tickets Per Hour. One important measure of traffic enforcement productivity, particular for a traffic unit, is the number of citations issued per field deployment hour. Based on FY 2011-12 data, the following table shows the citation production for traffic services: Traffic/Parking Citations (Avg.) Est. Net Annual Hours Available Average Citations Per Hour Total/Average 1 2,1271 2,6061 0.82 Matrix Consulting Group Page 23 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis Based on the project team's research over two decades, our benchmark for a productive motor unit should be able to generate 1.0 citation or warning per field - deployed hour. Based on the estimated field hours available to the Traffic Services Unit based on net hours available discussed in a prior section, an estimated 0.82 citations and warnings per field -deployed hour were generated in FY 2011-12. This is slightly below the best management practice target of 1.0. Given the other duties and responsibilities which the Traffic Officers perform, failure to achieve the listed benchmark standard is not surprising among law enforcement agencies. However, it should be noted that during some of the review period the Traffic Unit was understaffed. (3) The Vernon Police Department Traffic Enforcement Index Is Approximately 1:72, an Extremely High Figure. The overarching and primary mission of traffic enforcement is reducing the occurrence of death and injury related to vehicular accidents. To that end, minimizing both fatal and injury accidents should be a core business responsibility of Traffic Services. Research by the Northwestern University Unit for Public Safety Institute suggests that there is a strong correlation between accidents, driving under the influence of alcohol, and the ability to enforce traffic laws and generate citations — as citations / warnings and driving while intoxicated arrests go up, injury and fatal accidents generally go down. Consequently, a Traffic Enforcement Index (TEI) was developed and largely adopted by the Matrix Consulting Group as a valid analysis tool. The TEI is a performance indicator of traffic enforcement effectiveness, which suggests that the Matrix Consulting Group Page 24 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis ratio of injury / fatal accidents to the number of moving citations plus the number of OWI arrests should be between 1:25 and 1:40. Based on FY 2011-12 data provided by VPD, the following table is shown: FY 2011-12 Vernon Traffic Enforcement Index (TEI) Data Activity Number of Activities Moving Citations 5,815 Driving Under the Influence Arrests 49 TOTAL Citations/OWI 5,864 Fatal and Injury Accidents 81 TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT INDEX: 1:72 The 1:72 TEI exceeds the best management practices standards established indicating a high level of traffic enforcement relative to accidents. (3) Traffic Services Should Maintain Existing Authorized Staffing Levels. Given the information and analysis presented above, the Traffic Unit is a productive unit and appropriately staffed based on existing operations. Consequently, Traffic Services should maintain two (2) officer positions dedicated to traffic enforcement activities. Recommendation: Maintain existing authorized staffing levels in Traffic Unit. 9. CANINE UNIT The Vernon Police Department deploys two specialized K-9 Units to support the Department in the field. K-9 roles include tracking and locating suspects, evidence, contraband, or perhaps apprehend fleeing suspects. The unit also provides K-9 demonstrations to support the mission of the community -focused approach. In the past two years the Department's K-9 units have been fully integrated into patrol operations. The table, below, depicts the activity reported by K-9 units supporting Patrol in the City of Vernon. As the table shows the productivity of K-9 units in K-9 roles has Matrix Consulting Group Page 25 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis declined in the past two years from already low levels on a per shift basis. Their primary role is dedicated to patrol response and back-up in non-K-9 capacities. Fiscal Year 2009-10 Fiscal Year 2010-11 Fiscal Year 2011-12 Narcotic Search 48 18 26 Suspect Search 5 6 3 Building Search 8 4 5 Evidence Search 5 1 1 Patrol Assist 778 671 578 Bites 0 1 0 The City of Vernon is an ideal candidate for the use of K-9 specialty units because of the number of commercial and especially warehouse types of occupancies. In spite of this, the use of K-9's is very limited again because of low overall call volumes in the City. If the utilization cannot be increased the project team recommends that a regional alternative be examined in which the use and support of these resources are shared. Recommendation: Focus on increasing the productivity of the K-9 unit in the Department or look to alternatives. Matrix Consulting Group Page 26 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis 3. ANALYSIS OF INVESTIGATIONS This chapter focuses on the investigative services provided by the Vernon Police Department. The workload information utilized in this section was obtained from interviews with Division Lieutenant and line personnel as well as a review of documents and information from the Department's varied information systems. 1. INVESTIGATIONS WORKLOAD, STAFFING AND EFFECTIVENESS ARE EVALUATED DIFFERENTLY THAN PATROL OPERATIONS. It is more difficult to evaluate the staffing levels required by criminal investigations because, unlike patrol, more subjective and qualitative determinants of workload and work practices need to be considered. Patrol services have the benefit of several quantitative measures, such as calls for service and proactive time, to assist in the evaluation of staffing requirements, whereas investigative services have fewer such reliable measures. Comparisons with other agencies are also difficult given the vagaries of conducting investigative business among differing law enforcement agencies throughout the nation. Factors making comparative analyses difficult include: • What is actually investigated varies by agency. The extent to which agencies assign misdemeanor level property crime cases to Detectives varies. Also, the extent to which patrol performs preliminary or primary case investigation varies widely and thereby impacts Detective caseloads. • Approaches used to screen, assign, and monitor cases are different among law enforcement agencies. For example, Vernon relies on reading through and assigning cases whereas other departments may use a crime analysis function to initially screen cases based on various formalized solvability factors. • Work practices vary tremendously among agencies, relating to interviewing techniques, mix of telephone and in -person interviews, use of computer technologies, time devoted to administrative tasks, whether detectives respond to the initial crime scene in the filed, whether they have prosecutorial investigator assistance, etc. Matrix Consulting Group Page 27 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis • Complexity of caseloads is also a critical factor to consider when examining quantitative factors relating to investigative activity. Each case is different in terms of workable leads, suspect description, evidence availability, victim/witness cooperation, quality of information provided by the original report taker, and numerous other factors. The way information in a single case may combine with information on other cases (e.g., serial crime) also impacts investigative actions. • Additional duties and responsibilities performed by detectives beyond caseload work. Such activities may include being a specialized trainer, assisting on warrant arrests or various other administrative duties detracting from casework. This is particularly important for VPD personnel who perform other types of roles. • Finally, the nature of the community itself is a factor in evaluating investigative workload and staffing needs. Citizen expectations translate into service levels impacting detectives in terms of what is investigated and how investigations are conducted. These considerations portray investigative workloads with qualitative considerations when compared to that which depicts quantitative -driven patrol workload. Unlike patrol, investigative workload lacks some specific measures that can be converted into quantitative methodologies to arrive at required staffing levels. These qualitative issues must also be considered. Investigative staffing requirements should be examined from a variety of perspectives in order to obtain an overall portrait of staffing issues, case handling issues, and operational philosophies that have an impact on overall staffing needs. Analytically, investigative workload and staffing requirements typically employ a series of broad indicators to determine the extent to which core investigative staffing and general workload in the Department compare to ranges observed in other departments. This information is used to determine if the Vernon PD is within the ranges measured by those indicators. Investigative workloads vary depending on the number and types of cases a Detective is assigned, their complexity, and also the level of service desired by an agency as well as ancillary duties performed. The comparative Matrix Consulting Group Page 28 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis measures that can be employed are displayed in the following table: Comparative Measures for Investigations Comparative Measures Comparative Industry Patterns Part I Offenses per "line" Detective in core The Average distribution of Part I Offenses per investigative functions such as persons and "line" Detective developed in police services property crimes Detectives. This does not include studies in the U.S. generally ranges from 300-500 those assigned to "proactive" units such as Part I Offenses per investigator. narcotics or vice. Case Clearance for Part I Crimes. The Uniform Crime Report provides data on average case clearance by major crime type for various sized jurisdictions. Active cases assigned to "property" crimes 15 to 20 active cases per month based on a Detectives (e.g., burglaryttheft). survey of dozens of law enforcement agencies performed by the Matrix Consulting Group over the last several years. Active cases assigned to White Collar crimes These have a broader range due to their varied Detectives (e.g., fraud). complexity, from 10 to 20 active cases per month each. Active cases assigned to "person" crimes 8 to 12 active cases per month based on the Detectives. same survey. 3 to 5 active cases for complex person crimes such as felony assault (shootings) to include homicides. Domestic Violence cases vary widely dependent upon State mandates that result in varied workloads. Some DV Units can handle 20 to 30 cases per investigator per month, whereas others can only handle DV cases typically attributed to "felonious person crimes." Active cases assigned to "generalist" crimes 12 to 15 active cases per month based on the Detectives. same survey. There is no caseload standard for specialized units, such as narcotics, because these types of cases are more proactive in nature. One case can consume many weeks of staff time generating leads, contacts and suspect information; and they may also often require surveillance and related activities. Matrix Consulting Group Page 29 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis 2. A COMPARISON OF UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING DATA. One approach to evaluating the outcome of investigative services or investigative effectiveness is to benchmark case clearances' versus other local law enforcement agencies in similar sized communities. The FBI cautions against using any UCR data for comparative purposes as noted by the following excerpt from their website: There are many variables affecting crime and the reporting thereof including the demographic differences between jurisdictions, the level of training received by agency personnel in UCR, report writing variations, and technology. "The FBI discourages ranking agencies on the sole basis of UCR data." "The data user is, therefore, cautioned against comparing statistical data of individual reporting units from cities, counties, metropolitan areas, states, or colleges or universities solely on the basis on their population coverage or student enrollment. Until data users examine all the variables that affect crime in a town, city, county, state, region, or college or university, they can make no meaningful comparisons." "Ranking agencies based solely on UCR data has serious implications. For example, if a user wants to measure the effectiveness of a law enforcement agency, these measurements are not available. As a substitute, a user might list UCR clearance rates, rank them by agency, and attempt to infer the effectiveness of individual law enforcement agencies. This inference is flawed because all the other measures of police effectiveness were ignored." "The UCR clearance rate was simply not designed to provide a complete assessment of law enforcement effectiveness. In order to obtain a valid picture of an agency's effectiveness, data users must consider an agency's emphases and resources; and its crime, clearance, and arrest rates; along with other aoorooriate factors." While the project team's intentions are to always use as many variables as possible when making an assessment, and thus uses UCR information as one of many approaches, the FBI UCR no longer captures clearance rates. Consequently, the case clearance metric is no longer used by the project team unless acquired from the client and comparative benchmark agencies. The number of Part I crimes per Detective in many other law enforcement agencies in the United States averages between 300-500 crimes per Detective. Part I Crimes are taken from the annual Uniform Crime Report and compared to actual t Cases are cleared through an arrest or exceptional circumstances. Matrix Consulting Group Page 30 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis detective staffing levels in a police agency. The following shows this Part I Crime data for Vernon and other agencies with which the project team has worked. 2010 Part I Uniform Crime Report— Vernon and Other Communities Agency Part 1 Offenses Per Care Investigator' Galt, CA Police Department 257 Goodyear, AZ Police Department 461 Gilroy, CA Police Department 466 Inglewood PD, CA 146 Huntington Beach, CA 338 Hanford PD, CA 335 Roseville PD, CA 377 Corvallis, OR Police Department 403 Stamford PD, CT 153 Eastpointe PD, MI 259 AVERAGE OF THESE AGENCIES 320 Vernon 116 Based on detective staffing levels of the four "core detectives" and based on 2010 UCR data shown above, the ratio of Part I Offenses per Detective is 116:1. This is at the lowest end of the range for police agencies which this project team has worked. Based solely on Part I crime incidents, the VPD has more than a sufficient number of detective staff assigned to investigate Part I crimes. As noted above, UCR data should be viewed with some caution; that is why it is only one method by which the project team evaluates investigative services. It is, however, one measure that can allude to several operational characteristics. 3. CURRENT WORKLOAD DEMANDS DO NOT JUSTIFY THE STAFFING RESOURCES ASSIGNED TO INVESTIGATIONS. The project team also conducted desk audits of the Detectives in the Vernon Police Department. These involve reviewing, with each Detective, the cases that are currently assigned to determine the level of active cases versus assigned cases and the Matrix Consulting Group Page 31 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis overall distribution of workload. This is an important concept in investigative analysis — just because a case is 'open' does not mean that it is workable or that it is being worked. An 'open' case assumes that cases are being managed and that each case has workable information that could lead to the apprehension of a suspect. It also assumes that it is in a pre -warrant phase and is not being kept open only pending an arrest. These distinctions are made clear in a desk audit in which case activities and prospects are reviewed with each Detective. The results of these are summarized in the following table. The distinction between active and assigned cases is primarily whether a case had received some form of activity in the previous 30 — 40 day period. Active Caseloads by Detectives Results of Desk Audits September 20, 2012 Detective Active Cases Assigned % Active of Ass!ned A 1 7 15% 8 6 11 55% c 4 4 100% D 4 7 57% Total 15 29 52% Average 3.8 7.3 NIA The following points highlight the information above: • Active and assigned cases are not evenly distributed, there are great variances in the number of cases assigned to Detectives (ranging from 4 — 11) as well as the number of active cases (ranging from 1 — 6). • The Detective Sergeant can carry a caseload (though only a single case, a homicide) and assists Detective Lieutenant in the administration and supervision of the unit. • Workload levels are consistently below those typically targeted for generalist investigators in our experience — which generally range from 10 — 15 cases per detective. • While each Detective in Vernon has certain collateral duties these are not sufficient to reach a high level of utilization for these staff. Matrix Consulting Group Page 32 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis The project team's analysis indicates that the staffing of Detectives could be reduced by one Detective and still allow for a high level of service. A caseload of 5 active cases per Detective / 10 assigned cases per Detective will allow for a better utilization of three Detectives. Recommendation: The Vernon Police Department should reduce the ranks of Detectives by one (1) position. 4. THE VPD NEEDS TO IMPROVE CASE MANAGEMENT APPROACHES TO BETTER BALANCE WORKLOAD. Improvements in investigative case management will enhance the workload balance among staff, thereby facilitating staffing modifications. (1) The Investigations Unit Should Formalize the Case Screening Process Using Solvability Factor and Priority Status Methodologies Consistent with Best Management Practices. The current state of case management is indicative of a less than formal and effective case management process. Because the case management process is not formalized and the case management software is not used to the greatest degree possible, case management is accomplished inconsistently resulting in various issues such as large workload differentials between detectives and case overload. In order to ensure consistency and help prioritize work for investigative follow- up, a formal case screening checklist with relevant solvability factors should be adopted by VPD. This is consistent with progressive case management philosophies as well as with the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) case - screening system criteria (Section 42.1.2). Matrix Consulting Group Page 33 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis (2) The Solvability Factor Methodology. The use of solvability factors is consistent with CALEA's Section 42.1.2 which states, "The agency uses a case -screening system and specifies the criteria for continuing and/or suspending an investigative effort." This screening can take several forms. For example, one police agency in which the project team has experience uses nine criteria to determine the initial disposition of a case. In the course of our research, the project team believes the following twelve point process is most practical. If a crime report has a preponderance of the solvability factors noted below, it should be assigned for investigative follow-up. The twelve points are: • Witnesses to the crime; Knowledge of the suspect's name; Knowledge of where the suspect can be located; • Reasonable description of suspect; Identification of suspect probable; • Property with traceable, identifiable characteristics, marks or numbers; • Existence of a significant modus operandi; • Presence of significant physical evidence; • Reasonable description of the suspect's vehicle; • Positive results from a crime scene evidence search; • Belief that crime may be solved with publicity and/or reasonable additional investigative effort; and • Strong possibility and/or opportunity for anyone, other than the suspect, to have committed the crime. Matrix Consulting Group Page 34 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis These solvability factors should be incorporated into a formal case screening process whereby the above list, or some derivative, is used as a cover sheet on all cases to determine whether it is an assignable case to a Detective for investigative follow-up. For those cases requiring follow-up, the suggested prioritization, as discussed subsequently, should be noted on the cover sheet. Adoption of a formal screen process will ensure that for those cases with no solvability factors checked, the maximum service received on the case is minimal and has limited impact on staff workload. This may amount to one courtesy telephone call to the victim advising them of their case status and the need for additional information to continue the investigation. Effective case screening allows for the bulk of investigative resources to be dedicated to solvable cases, thereby allowing time to focus on solving and clearing important crime activities. Case screening based on formal solvability factors and the implementation of a formalized process is a best management practice that should be adopted by VPD in the short term. Implementing this practice should be a precursor to reducing staffing levels significantly. (3) The Prioritization Methodology Once a case has been screened for solvability, based on those solvability factors checked, as well as a review of the qualitative case circumstances, the case should be prioritized for work based on the following seven -priority rating. Prioritization of workload has clearly been widely adopted in patrol services throughout the nation through call priority classifications, but is used in a lesser capacity in other law Matrix Consulting Group Page 35 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis enforcement arenas. The project team believes case prioritization is an effective management tool to augment case screening. The seven -priority rating includes: • Priority 1 — Felony Crime with In -custody suspect or excellent chance of arrest. Priority 2 — Misdemeanor Crime with In -custody suspect or excellent chance of arrest. • Priority 3 — Felony Crime with reasonable chance of arrest. • Priority 4 — Felony Crime with limited chance of arrest. • Priority 5 — Misdemeanor Crime with reasonable chance of arrest. • Priority 6 — Misdemeanor Crime with limited chance of arrest. • Priority 7 — Courtesy phone call based on no solvability factors. This priority system can be modified to meet the unique needs of the VPD; however, the concept should be used as a framework for prioritizing workload, thereby focusing detective resources on the most important cases. A 1-7 Priority should be assigned on all case screening cover sheets as noted previously. (4) Implement Formal Case Status Reporting Every 30-days to Facilitate Expeditious Case Closure. An important issue noted previously is that detectives apparently work on several cases that are aged. As further noted, the vast majority of cases should be closed within a 30-90 day timeframe. There is no formal process whereby a 30-day status report is provided to detective supervision informing them of case progress and the need for the case to remain opened or closed based upon investigative leads and case circumstances. Such formality helps ensure cases do not languish indefinitely and staff resources are properly dedicated to solving crimes, making arrests and clearing cases Matrix Consulting Group Page 36 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis Recommendation: Implement best management practice case management approaches to include the use of solvability factors at screening and ongoing case reviews. 5. THE PRACTICE OF ASSIGNING COLLATERAL DUTIES TO DETECTIVES IS A SOUND PRACTICE Each Detective in Vernon is also assigned several collateral duties in the furtherance of Department goals and objectives as well as effective administration. This also recognizes that these staff have the capacity to take on additional work over and above their investigative follow-up duties. Illustrative collateral duties in the Vernon Police Department include the following: • Internet use and policies in the Department. • Homeland security issues and planning. • Subpoenas. • Company safety meetings. • Firearms. In addition, the Sergeant has collateral duties which include staff development, policy development and review, industrial accident review, etc. Recommendation: Continue the practice of assigning Detectives and the Detective Sergeant collateral duties. 6. PARTICIPATION IN REGIONAL TASK FORCES HAS LONG TERM BENEFITS TO THE CITY OF VERNON. The City of Vernon participates in three (3) regional task forces dedicated to a wide variety of law enforcement functions to the benefit of the City and region. These include the following task forces: • Cargo Theft Interdiction Program (CTIP) — Created in 1990, the Cargo Theft Interdiction Program (CTIP) is a multi -jurisdictional taskforce with the chief goal of combating cargo theft in Los Angeles County and perhaps throughout the Matrix Consulting Group Page 37 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis State of California. VPD proactively fosters partnerships between businesses and law enforcement. Regional Auto -Theft Prevention (TRAP) — The Regional Auto Theft Prevention (T.R.A.P.) is a multi -agency task force, comprised of law enforcement officers from various Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies. California Legislators developed T.R.A.P. in 1993 with the chief goal of combating auto theft. T.R.A.P. Investigators purposely handle specific vehicle crimes such as chop shops, VIN switch's, insurance fraud and the purchases of vehicles by means of identity theft. These resources are funded entirely by the State of California and including vehicle costs and overtime. Southwest Border (SWB) — Formed in 1995, The Southwest Border Initiative (SWBI) is tasked with targeting large-scale drug trafficking organizations that utilize the U.S. southwest border as a point of entry and distribution center for narcotics delivery. Additionally, the SWB is an investigative and intelligence gathering body with a focus on the command and control of the drug trafficking organizations operating within the United States. The SWB is comprised of law enforcement officials at the Local, County, State and Federal level of government. Participating in these regional task forces have had a number of benefits to the City, including the generation of over $300,000 per year in asset forfeiture seizures to Vernon, deferment of certain law enforcement costs and reduction of crime in ways that benefit the business and residential communities in the City and the region. Recommendation: Continue the practice of participating in regional task forces. Matrix Consulting Group Page 38 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis 4. ANALYSIS OF SUPPORT SERVICES The analysis of Support Services Division, which follows, includes two distinct sets of functions and services in support of the Vernon Police Department — Records and Communications. 1. EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES PROVIDED IN VERNON. The evaluation of dispatcher staffing needs in the Vernon Police Department is directly related to the workload level, shift schedule and dispatchers availability. These facts are addressed are discussed in the following sections of this chapter. (1) Dispatch Unit Staffing and Work Schedule. Information regarding the Vernon PD Dispatch Unit was obtained through interviews with personnel, electronic data from the CAD system and other documents provided by Vernon PD staff. Public Safety Dispatchers work 10 hour shifts. Public Safety Dispatchers work 4 consecutive days of the week, followed by 3 days off. The Vernon PD Dispatch Unit does not operate on the "team concept" so employees have varying workdays on and days off. For most of the last fiscal year, the Dispatch Unit staff has been Working 12-hour shifts with 3 dispatchers scheduled to each shift. The Vernon PD Dispatch Unit authorized staffing includes 5 Public Safety Dispatchers and a Supervisor, as follows: Dayshift, 0600-1600: 2 Public Safety Dispatchers (including the Supervisor) Dayshift Overlap, 1100-2100: 2 Public Safety Dispatchers Swing shift, 2030-0630: 2 Public Safety Dispatchers Matrix Consulting Group Page 39 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis The table below shows the actual deployment of dispatching staff based on data provided by the Vernon Police Department.

(2) Dispatch Minimums Have Been Established. The actual Dispatch staffing levels are always lower than the authorized levels, due to vacancies, employees off on leaves and away at training. To provide sufficient staff to meet a basic service level, the Police Department has established minimum Matrix Consulting Group Page 40 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis staffing levels in Vernon. Minimum staffing levels take in account the minimum number of staff required to handle calls for safety to protect public safety officers and citizens. 11:00-1600: 2 Public Safety Dispatchers 1600-1100: 1 Public Safety Dispatchers Whenever on duty staffing falls below the level listed above, management will schedule overtime to fill the vacancy. (3) Vernon's Dispatch Has Experienced High Turnover Over the Past Several Years. The number of employees separating from an agency in a year impacts dispatch units across the United States. Nationally, attrition rates for dispatchers are typically 10% — 20% annually, and in Vernon over the last three years dispatcher turnover has been over 20%. The recruiting, hiring and training process for Dispatchers and Supervisors often takes over a year from the time a new employee is hired, until the completion of their basic training program. The time it takes to hire and train new employees significantly impacts the ability to staff Dispatch Units without requiring a significant amount of overtime. (4) Dispatch Leave Hours Are Comparably Low. The number of hours of leave used by employees also impacts staffing levels. Dispatchers are scheduled to work 2,080 hours in a year but the hours actually worked are less, due to the number of leave hours taken by employees as well as training hours. The project team obtained personnel leave and training hours data from staff for FY 2011-12. The following table summarizes the availability of staff, after deducting the average leave hours used during the year training hours. Matrix Consulting Group Page 41 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis FY 2011-12 Hours Total Paid Annual Work Hours 2,080 Average Leave sage -246 Average Trainin -24 Total Unavailable Hours 1,810 Net Work Hours 1,810 % Annual Availability 87% Dispatch Unit staff averaged 246 hours of leave used during FY 2011-12. This is below the 300-400 hour range commonly seen by the project team. Dispatch Unit employees attended an average of 24 in-service training hours to meet departmental and POST training requirements. In total, a Vernon PD Dispatch Unit employee is working on the Dispatch floor approximately 1,810 straight time hours per year. (6) Methodologies Utilized to Analyze Workloads. There are several approaches that can be used to assess the staffing needs of a public safety communications unit. These approaches include the following: Methods that are based on comparisons with other agencies. These methods are inconsistent because the workload, technology and service level requirements vary tremendously among agencies. Methods that are based on staffing a targeted number of "fixed posts" allocated on a functional basis (e.g., call taker, law enforcement radio, etc.) are unsound, because they do not tie staffing to actual workload. Analysis of workload based on the number of community generated calls for service and on the number of incoming telephone calls processed and the number of radio dispatches. The Matrix Consulting Group used a quantitative process for assessing communications staffing needs based on actual workloads in the Dispatch Unit based on the number of calls for service in the City of Vernon. Dispatch Unit workload expressed in the number of calls for service provides a straightforward and relatively simple method to determine required staffing levels. The Matrix Consulting Group Page 42 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis tasks performed by a communications unit are relatively constant from one agency to another. These tasks include: Answering emergency, non -emergency and administrative telephone calls (wireless and land line), Processing community generated calls for service (a request for service from an outside source) and Officer initiated incidents, Radio transmissions, computer queries, related to the calls and Officer initiated incidents, Outbound telephone calls, and a variety of other information handling and processing. These workload tasks could be analyzed and calculated separately, however, few agencies are able to track the time spent on each of these tasks. The time to accomplish all of the above tasks is factored into the calculation of the total time required to handle a community generated call for service. These assumptions are critical because while most public safety agencies count community generated calls for service, many do not count, or are not able to count, other dispatching tasks, such as the number of radio transmissions and other activities. The Matrix Consulting Group has converted the time required for all of these other tasks, including the dispatching time related to Officer initiated activity, into total minutes of workload which are expressed on a per "calf for service" basis. The workload standards utilized in this study include: For each law enforcement call for service, the equivalent of 8.9 minutes of call related and officer -initiated activities are allocated. This includes time estimates for radio transmissions, telephone calls related to the incident, records checks and administrative tasks. The 8.9 minutes is comprised of the following elements: — 130 seconds (2.2 minutes) for processing a service request (citizen generated call for service) and dispatch; or transfer to a radio dispatcher. Matrix Consulting Group Page 43 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis This standard incorporates the fact that the same incident, and that can generate multiple calls administrative / staff in the communications Unit handles business calls. — 327 seconds (5.4 minutes) of total radio transmission related activity, calculated on a "per call for service" basis. This time represents all workloads related to calls for service activity and administrative transmissions. — 77 seconds (1.3 minutes) for other tasks associated with the dispatch unit: administrative, computerized recordstwarrants checks, updating the call record, performing related service requests and other activities. These time standards are then applied against known or estimated law enforcement calls for service to calculate the total minutes of dispatch workload. Call for service counts are distributed on a time of day basis and multiplied by the time standards described above (8.9 minutes per call for a law enforcement call for service). This calculation yields the total average dispatch Unit workload on a time of day and day of week basis. To understand workload variations, calls and dispatch Unit workloads are calculated on a per hour basis. Finally, an allowance needs to be made regarding the proportion of time desirable to have a dispatcher actually involved in call handling and/or radio transmissions. There are several reasons why direct task allocation should not be 100%, including the following: Dispatch Units that have high utilization levels tend to "burn -out" staff and have high levels of sick leave usage and employee turnover. Dispatch Units that have high utilization levels experience "queuing" problems in which responses to incoming calls and transmissions are delayed because of the number of calls and units handled. Quality begins to suffer because dispatchers are not able to accurately track field units and cut calls and radio transmissions short. This impacts service to field units and the public. Therefore, the project team uses a task -loading factor of 30 minutes of actual call/radio activity per dispatch employee per hour (50% utilization target). The basis of this assumption is that one-half of every working hour should be used for direct Matrix Consulting Group Page 44 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis communications tasks (i.e., telephone calls, CAD case entries, radio dispatches, computer related queries). Remaining minutes per hour can be dedicated to administrative, follow-up tasks or other duties. This 30-minute factor is divided into the hourly workload in the Dispatch Unit. (6) Police Dispatch Workload Were Analyzed. The project team obtained call for service workload data from the CAD system for the 12 month period July 1, 2011 — June 30, 2012. The call for service data included the CAD event number, date/time of initial call, location of the call, time incident entered into CAD, time unit was dispatched, primary unit dispatched, and type of call. (6.11) Dispatch Workload By Hour and Day of Week for All Calls. The project team calculated the workload for Vernon Dispatch Unit and the combined workload — a total of 18,868 calls for service. The following table shows the number of calls for service by time of day and day of week and the breakdown of the law enforcement related calls for service in the Vernon service area.

The following points summarize: The Dispatch Unit handled 18,868 calls for in FY 2011-12. Workload ranged from a low of about 7 minutes per hour during the early morning hours, to a high of 29 minutes per hour in the late afternoon. Average workload per hour is approximately 19 minutes. The workload requires an hourly average of about 1 Police Dispatcher. Matrix Consulting Group Page 47 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis Although the total staffing required to handle the average call taking and dispatching workload of the Vernon Dispatch Unit is 1 positions, one Dispatcher will not be able to handle all of the required tasks during peak workload times when multiple calls are received in a short period of time. Additionally, workload demand is not the only factor that should be considered when establishing staffing levels. Other factors include additional (non -dispatching) job functions and the need for breaks during a shift. As a result, a minimum staffing level of one during non -peak hours and two during peak hours in the Vernon PD Dispatch Unit is recommended for the following reasons: To ensure that concurrent police incidents could be handled. To handle the telephone call volume and radio traffic volume during peak hours. To ensure that one position could be dedicated to a high priority call without eliminating the ability of the Unit to handle routine business. To handle the additional phone calls that will come in to the Dispatch Unit after normal business hours. To continue to answer the business phone lines. To provide coordination of mutual aid. To provide a high level of service to internal and external customers. To provide shift relief and breaks. To reduce dispatcher burnout. In the Vernon PID Dispatch Unit, the average minimum staffing level is 1.5 Dispatcher (2 peak/1 non -peak). Matrix Consulting Group Page 48 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis (7) Total Staffing Requirement The table below shows the number of Public Safety Dispatcher/Senior positions needed to fill the minimum hourly average of 1.5 positions. Staffing Level Hours Position Position - 1.5 Hours Required to fill a 24 hr position 8760 - Average annual hrs worked/employee 1,810 Staff required to fill a 24 hr position 5 - Sub -total of staff required - 7 Ll 0 Hour Shift factor (Inefficiency Factor of 25%) 1.8 �urnover 2 �00% 0.4 1 Total Staff Required 9+ While this staffing level is not ideal, officers often come in to cover breaks for dispatchers when only one is on duty. The 2012 authorized staffing level in the Vernon PD Dispatch Unit is 6 positions: 5 Dispatchers and I Supervisor plus an occasional part time position so the current authorized versus need is an issue. The City of Vernon, like all small dispatch centers has a choice because low workloads do not support efficient shift coverage levels — either function inefficiently and not cost effectively or merge with a partner who can help it better absorb spare capacity. The City of Vernon, then, should examine regional dispatch opportunities. Recommendation: Increase staffing in the unit by three additional Dispatchers to meet the one non -peak and two peak staffing level without excessive use of overtime and the use of police officers to cover a console. 2. RECORDS SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY TWO SUPERVISORS AND TWO TECHNICIANS. The Records Section in the Vernon Police Department is responsible for responding to arrest report distribution, background checks, citation entry, field interview Matrix Consulting Group Page 49 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis cards, front counter contacts, incident reports, mailing/faxing, validation lists, parking cites, scanning documents, telephone calls, tow yard confirmation list, and warrant notices. The Section is staffed with 4 full time equivalent staff. All Record Section employees are civilian positions. (1) Records Unit Staffing and Work Schedule. Information regarding the Vernon PID Records unit was obtained through interviews with personnel, electronic data and other documents provided by Vernon PID staff. Records staff, when at or near full staffing, work a 10-hour shift from 0700-1730. Records professionals work 4 consecutive days of the week, followed by 3 days off, typically Friday -Sunday. The Vernon PID Records Unit operate on the "team concepV (where several Records staff, having the same Senior, work together as a "team"), so the employees have same workdays on and days off. The Vernon PID Records Unit shift deployment for the 4 Public Safety Records staff, two per team, on opposing days off between 0700 and 1730. The tables, below, show the deployments for authorized and actual Records staff for the past year.

(2) Key Strengths of the Records Unit. The project team compared organization, staffing and key practices of Records Unit. Presented below are key strengths in the Records Unit. Automated systems are integrated to reduce duplicative work efforts and to increase efficiencies with respect to processing of reports and documents. Additionally, field services personnel utilize in -vehicle laptops and work stations to write and submit reports to supervisors, who then electronically submit reports to Records Unit. Records Unit personnel staff the front counter and process requests for records at the counter, by fax, mail, etc. Records Unit has a records purging program to ensure compliance with State Federal regulations. All Records Section employees are crossed trained for any task assigned. The following table provides authorized as well as current staffing in the Records Unit.

(3) Summary of Workload Elements Employed in the Matrix Consulting Group's Records Unit Analytical Model. The primary duties of Records relate to responding to arrest report distribution, background checks, citation entry, field interview cards, front counter contacts, incident reports, mailing/faxing, validation lists, parking cites, scanning documents, telephone calls, tow yard confirmation list, and warrant notices. In calculating the time expended on these primary duties, the project team calculated an estimated availability of 81% based on data provided by the Department for the average staff member in the Records Unit to account -for leave usage, training, administrative duties, etc. This results in 1,685 net hours per FTE. The following table provides an analysis of the time expended in the primary Records functions: Matrix Consulting Group Page 52 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis Est.

The table above indicates that the primary workloads of the Records Unit require approximately 4 full time equivalent staff. It should be noted, however, that these individuals perform duties that are not accounted for in what have been termed primary duties. Furthermore, even the primary duties outlined above do not occur in a linear Matrix Consulting Group Page 53 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis fashion, but rather rise to peaks and subside during the day and the amount of tired required to complete each task. Finally, the Supervisors of the Unit should have some part of the day allocated to providing oversight and quality control over the processes of the Unit. (4) Records Unit Were Analyzed to Best Practices. The project team evaluated the Records Unit to standards that are State and nationally recognized benchmarks of best practices for the specific discipline of Records Unit. The standards provide templates with methods for reaching administrative and operational goals. Study findings show VPD Records Section meets recognized benchmarks. The following table compares the best practice, VPD standard and potential improvements, if applicable.

The Project Team's overall analysis of the preceding information is that VPD's Records Unit currently has staffing to accomplish its mission and goals. The VPD Records Section has a high level of professionalism among its members. The following points summarize key aspects relating to the Records Unit. 4 FTE positions are authorized in the FY 2011 / 2012 budget for the Records Section. All employees are civilian. The Section serves as the primary point of contact for public requests for public records, including accident and crime reports. Vernon Police Department charges for public records and vehicle releases. Perform quality control on all officer reports, including read all reports, review charges, change crime codes, as needed etc. Conduct background checks as needed. Reviews local and national crime activity to ensure correctness. Overall, the organization and role of the Records Section is adequately given the size of staff and responsibility. Recommendation: Make no changes to the staffing or base procedures of the Records Unit. Matrix Consulting Group Page 55 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis 3. PROPERTY AND EVIDENCE CONTROL COMPLIES WITH INDUSTRY STANDARDS. The Property and -Evidence function is staffed with the Court Officer (a civilian position) who maintains strict procedurally driven, measures for receipt, handling, security, disposition of property and property room inventory / audit schedule. The property locker is contemporary in terms of being alarmed, having adequate refrigeration, bio-hazard and flammable storage, appropriate areas to book property, and specific storage for property that by their very nature require extra protection, security and handling precautions such as money, precious metals, jewelry, firearms and narcotics. Recommendation: Make no changes to the staffing or base procedures of the Property and Evidence function which includes Department coordination of judicial processes. Matrix Consulting Group Page 56 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis 5. ANALYSIS OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE In order to evaluate the organizational structure of the Vernon Police Department, the project team first identified the criteria by which the organizational structure would be analyzed. The paragraphs, that follow, describe those criteria as well as describe what is meant by each of them: Frequency of Contact: With what other units does the unit in question have the most frequent contact? Does it have frequent contact with the units with which it is currently organized? Are there other units outside of its current organizational niche with which it has more frequent contact? Types of Contact: Do the contacts involve the sharing of resources (personnel or equipment)? Are the contacts administrative in nature? Do they involve the passage of paperwork from one unit to the other? Extensiveness of Interactions: Are the interactions frequent but inconsequential (i.e., daily passing of time sheets would not be given as much weight as responding to automobile accidents). Are the interactions going to have an impact on the safety or the quality of life for those in the facility? Connection of Actions: Do the units exhibit an organizational dependency on one another? Would it be more difficult for one unit to do its work if there were some separation / attachment? Administrative Paper Flow: Is there an immediate need for the units to be attached organizationally to ensure the smooth flow of critical paperwork (for example, payroll making its way to Finance is not a justification for having every unit attached to Finance). Support Versus Operations: Have functions that support more than one operational unit been grouped together? Are there clear and reasonable divisions among operational units? Each of these criteria, individually, would not provide enough information to make a decision about the appropriate placement of an organizational unit. As a group, however, they provide the information required by the project team to come to Matrix Consulting Group Page 57 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Stafflng Analysis conclusions about the current organizational structure and to make recommendations for any improvements. These criteria provide a formal, analytical structure for assessing the organizational structure of public sector agencies. The chart, below, depicts the current organizational structure of the Vernon Police Department. The points following the chart describe and evaluate this organization: Police I Chief I Lieutenant Investigations Captain Lieutenant Lieutenant Lieutenant Records Manager Patrol I I Patrol I I Support Services I I The following key points summarize the key findings when reviewing the organizational structure: The Police Department is organized along lines of services: Patrol and traffic under two Lieutenants, Detectives under a Lieutenant, support services (dispatch and administrative functions) reporting to a Lieutenant and a Records Manager. Ail of the mid managers in the VPD report to the Captain, the operations commander, with the exception of the Investigations Lieutenant who reports directly to the Chief. Units are well organized considering the other criteria described below: Frequency of Contact: Units are grouped together according to their most frequent interactions. Types of Contact: There are no issues with the types of interactions between units and the way in which they are grouped organizationally. Extensiveness of Interactions: As above, organizational units are grouped logically given their interaction with one another. Matrix Consulting Group Page 58 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis Connection of Actions: Currently, there are no organizational units that face undue operational challenges due to their placement within the overall organizational structure of the Police Department. Administrative Paper Flow: Support functions report to a civilianized management position, the Records Manager, allowing for specific focus on these issues. The table, below, provides a graphical assessment of the current organizational structure. Note the Y' mark in a box indicates that the organizational unit meets that criteria described in the preceding section of the report. Organizational Unit Authority Span of Control Based on Work Flow Similar Titles I Similar Duties Patrol Investigations I/ V Support ervices Records The paragraphs that follow provide a summary of the project team's findings and conclusions regarding the current organizational structure of the Vernon Police Department: The Captain should be the day-to-day manager of all operations within the Police Department. The Chief should focus on city, community and overall departmental issues. The Lieutenant of Investigations, then, should report to the Captain. There are span of control issues within each function of the Department — spans of control are narrow, generally 1:2-3. There is no easy way around this issue while retaining the functional specificity of the organizational structure. The Records Manager position should report to the Lieutenant for Support Services to bring under one commander responsibility for all administrative functions in the Department. Matrix Consulting Group Page 59 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis While the organizational criteria table above indicates that span of control issues exist in the Department, all small departments have this issue because of the need for command presence over functions and shifts in spite of the low numbers of staff supervised. These recommendations would simplify the organization of the Department and better meet the organizational criteria outlined at the beginning of this chapter. Recommendation: Reorganize and simplify the command structure of the Vernon Police Department, bringing the Investigations Lieutenant under the Captain and the Records Manager under the Support Services Lieutenant Matrix Consulting Group Page 60 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis 6. ANALYSIS OF THE FEASIBILITY OF PROVIDING POLICE SERVICES TO THE CITY OF MAYWOOD In this chapter of the report is provided the project team's initial assessment of the feasibility of the City of Vernon providing police services to the City of Maywood under a service contract or agreement. The first section, which follows, provides a description of Maywood's current contract arrangement with the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Office. 1. SUMMARY OF CONTRACT TERMS AND PROVISIONS.

ANALYSIS OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONTRACTING WITH MAYWOOD. This section provides the analysis for contracting police services with Maywood. Patrol labor requirements for Maywood. Service level commitments. Management staffing and organizational structure. Personnel salaries, benefits, operating costs, comparison of service costs and benefits with providing police services to Maywood. The information utilized on the subsequent pages were based upon the project team's experience working with law enforcement agencies, comparative organizational and operational data, as well as the current structure and organization of the Police Department under the current contract. Matrix Consulting Group Page 62 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis (1) Calculation of Patrol Labor Requirements for Maywood. The model below shows our patrol labor staffing requirements for Maywood. The patrol calculations are based on the number of minutes allocated to all calls for service based on an estimated 80% availability factor for patrol staff (the number of paid hours for patrol staff minus leave, training, on -duty court time, etc). 1. COMMUNITY GENERATED WORKLOADS Calls for service 5,673.00 Handling Time (Target of 30 Average Minutes per Call for Service) 2,836.50 Back up Rate (Target of 0.50 Back -Up Units per CFS) 0.50 Handling Time for Back Up Units (Target of 75% of Initial handling time) 0.38 Total Time for Back Up Unit CFS Handling 900.38 Number of Reports (Estimated at 25% of all CFS) 1,418.25 Total Time for Report Writing (Target of 60 Minute Average) 1,418.25 Number of CFS Arrests / Bookings (Based on LA County Arrest Statistics for 2011) 809.00 Time to Process CFS Arrests I Bookings (Estimated 1.5 hours) 1.50 Total Time for CFS Arrests / Bookings 1,213.50 TOTAL TIME TO HANDLE COMMUNITY GENERATED WORKLOADS 6.368.63 2.

OFFICERS REQUIRED TO HANDLE WORKLOADS 50% of Available Time 7.65 6. OFFICERS REQUIRED PLUS 10% ATTRITION 50% of Available Time 8.42 A review of the preceding exhibit shows that the Maywood Police Services would have the. following staffing requirements based on the assumptions provided by the project team's national experience conducting hundred's of police staffing analysis: Section 5 of the patrol -staffing model shows that the workload for Maywood would require 7 patrol officers (no sergeants) at 50% proactive levels of enforcement. Matrix Consulting Group Page 63 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis Section 6 of the patrol -staffing model shows that figure increases to 8 positions at 50% proactive time when an allowance is made for covering attrition, new hire training, etc. This figure would result in no change, overall, in the number of personnel recommended by our firm and the recommended patrol labor commitment provided by the LA County Sherifrs Office, as shown, below: Element Count Staffing for Workload/Proactive Time @ 50% 7 Adjustment for Attrition Patrol Staffing Model Total Current Patrol Staffing (LA County Sheriffs Office) 8 Variance 0 This would result in a no change in law enforcement positions with no additional patrol positions required to handle the above workloads should the City of Maywood withdraw from the current police services contract. Essentially, this is accomplished by converting currently extraordinary levels of proactive time in Vernon to service to the City of Maywood. (2) Analysis of Expected Service Level Commitments and Other Needs Relating to Service Delivery to Maywood. The project team assumes the same level of contract positions would be shifted from the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Office to the City of Maywood, which equals 9 full-time positions and 9 support (overhead) positions as follows: Matrix Consulting Group Page 64 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis # of Contract # of Shared Service Area Personnel Cost Staffing Approach I General Functions Positions Department Chief Assumed to be a nominally shared cost at 10% Management charge to Maywood.

The Lieutenant functions primarily as a "Team Leader" to address concerns in Maywood. Patrol Staffing 6 Sergeants Field Supervision 24/7 provided by existing Sergeants. Assumed to be a shared cost equally, reflective of deployments and calls for service. 8 Officers Based on current staffing deployed to handle community generated calls'for service workload as well as the time requirements necessary for proactive duties (i.e., directive patrol, traffic enforcement, etc.) and a 50% availability rate for Officers. Investigations I Detective 3 Detectives Tasks include investigation of cases referred to investigations, persons and property; investigate all of the cases that are related to juvenile offenders (both person and property crimes) child abuse, sexual assault crimes; participate in monthly task for operations (vehicle theft, sex/drug registrant audits); conduct crime trend analysis to provide information for pro -active approach to preventing and reducing crime; education of the public on crime prevention methods. Assumed that only the 4" Investigator is a direct cost to Maywood with the others shared on a 1/3 versus 2/3 basis. Non -Sworn 3 Civilians Providing the key administrative support and Support Staff management of the Maywood Police Services including processing correspondences, supporting the "Team Lead", and assisting in other activities. 3 Dispatchers 6 Dispatchers There is sufficient dispatcher capacity to handle additional calls for service generated by Maywood with the new positions recommended earlier in this report — the number of dispatchers is assumed to be 8 and a Supervisor. Assumed to be a shared cost proportionally based on calls for service. I TOTAL 1 6 Contract Positions lWatrix Consulting Group Page 65 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis As is evident from the table, above, there are five (5) new positions and associated costs which are 'direct charges' to Maywood — Commander / Lieutenant, an investigator and three (3) dispatchers; there are other positions and costs which are 'indirect charges' to Maywood — Department management, other investigators and support costs (records and dispatch). As the table shows, there are several 'shared' positions in the new regional organization, including: Patrol — eight positions are shared with Maywood, essentially transferring excess proactive time from Vernon to Maywood. Detectives — in addition to the one directly charged position, the three remaining detectives in Vernon would be available to handle Maywood cases. Records — existing (and, as recommended, augmented records staff would also handle Maywood reports. Command — command staff (watch commanders, Captain and Chief would also be responsible for Maywood. The staffing level will provide an enhanced level of police services than that stated in the current contract. The organization chart, below, shows the direct staff who would be working with Maywood under contract to the City of Vernon.

Salaries/Benefits) $111,310 Liability @ 4% of Salaries/Benefits (Sherifrs Office Match) $58,484 Chief and Captain (@ 10% of Salaries/Benefits) $43,264 Sergeants (at 50% of Field Sergeant Salaries/Benefits) $447,759 Detectives (33% of 3 Detectives) $123,678 Support (50% of Records and Dispatcher Positions) $465,546 Overhead (15% of all other costs) $214,070 Total $1,464,110 Total Vernon -Maywood Contract $2,926,202 Total LA County Contract (2012) $3,200,228 Difference to Maywood ($274,026) Matrix Consulting Group Page 67 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis As shown above, the total estimated annual budget for the Maywood contract would be approximately $2.9 Million, and based on the following: Directly contracted service positions including: — A Lieutenant who essentially serves as the Maywood Chief of Police. — A Detective directly allocated to Maywood. — Three (3) dispatchers allowing for two (2) dispatchers per shift. Indirectly contracted / shared positions in whole or in part, including: — Eight (8) patrol positions plus shared field Sergeants. — Three (3) detectives. — Records staff. — Command positions. The mid -step salary is utilized for each directly contracted position based on current City of Vernon PD salaries. For the benefits percentage, approximately 33% was added to the base salary for all sworn personnel (based on benefit average actual benefits for Vernon staff). The project team factored 10% of salaries and benefits to provide estimated overtime costs for Maywood, which are assumed to cover all overtime regardless of cause (e.g., court related or shift related). As calculated above, a 4% liability factor was added, or $58,484. Shared staff allocations include thefollowing: — 10% of the cost of the Chief and the Captain, or $43,264. — 50% of the cost of Patrol Sergeants, or $447,759 — 33% of the cost of base Detectives, or $123, 678. — Based on equal allocations of support staff (records and dispatch), $465,546 was added. Matrix Consulting Group Page 68 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing The project team used a 15% overhead charge on direct labor of $214,070. This cost is assumed to cover is the additional financial impacts of other support services such as vehicle maintenance as well as the impacts on other City departments such as Human Resources and Finance. Not included in this initial feasibility cost are the following: Facility, acquisition and maintenance for a Maywood substation. Vehicle acquisition costs, though as noted above maintenance is assumed to be included in the 15% overhead charge. As shown above, the estimated cost for Vernon to contract for law enforcement services with the City of Maywood is approximately $2.9 Million (versus its current cost of $3.2 Million). The benefits of contracting with Maywood, as follows: The contracting entity is another "City" that has similar needs and concerns in operating a municipal police department. Contracting with another law enforcement agency allows Vernon to leverage the resources of its Police Department. Existing partnerships with other law enforcement agencies (e.g., mutual aid) would remain intact. A 15% surcharge on direct labor offsets operating costs for the City of Vernon. The City of Vernon has a clear choice in this analysis — either to retain extraordinarily high proactivity levels within the City while attempting to find ways to make this time more productive or transfer this underutilized time and staff capacity to serve the City of Maywood. Contracting with the City of Maywood offers the opportunity to defray significant law enforcement costs to the City while. better utilizing police resources. The City of Vernon in this scenario would allocate the cost of underutilized positions to Maywood equivalent to $2,284,000. Matrix Consulting Group Page 69 CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA Final Report of the Police Department Staffing Analysis These deferred costs would increase to $2.4 million if the 4 th detective is included. To provide these services would require Vernon to add $642,402 in new position costs — the Lieutenant, the detective and three (3) dispatchers plus these positions' overtime and risk management costs. These new positions would be direct -bills to Maywood. Recommendation: As a result of this initial feasibility analysis the City should take steps to pursue this option.
