BACKGROUND AND.ANALYSIS:
The Seal Beach Police Department monitors crime and quality of life conditions
relative to the 64 State of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control
(ABC) licensees within the City. For fiscal year 2017 - 2018, the Police
Department applied to ABC for a $45,340 grant in non-supplanting funds -
designed to aid in alcohol license, abuse, and enforcement.
The predominant section most readily identified for this grant would be the
downtown commercial/residential district known as "Old Town" and the actual
roadway named Main Street. Main Street has 22 ABC licensees within its three-
block length. In several years past, the City of Seal Beach has applied for and
received grants from the ABC under their Grant Assistance Program (GAP). The
current GAP will focus on alcohol and drug education for licensees, alcohol
related crime prevention for merchants, briefing training for City of Seal Beach
personnel, underage minor decoy operations — to include shoulder tapping of
people to buy alcohol for underage minors and similarly physical attempts by
Agenda Item F
minor decoys to purchase alcohol inside establishments. Furthermore, there will
be several directed enforcement efforts where police officers will respond to
predetermined-locations, which are known for habitual public intoxication arrests.
The Seal Beach Police Department evaluated calls for service generated during
2016 within the 100-300 blocks of Main Street. During this evaluation, 'it was
learned`;that'over 70% of alcohol related calls for service citywide were generated
in the "Old Town" area. Furthermore, 20% of those calls were generated from
four ABC licensed locations, all within approximately 100 yards of each other on
Main Street These four locations consistently generate the highest number of
calls for service of all on-sale locations within the city.
These quality of life issues can be significantly improved by using these grant
funds to implement the above listed measures, as well as specifically targeting
areas that generate the highest number of calls for service.
Lastly; the Chief of Police will be authorized to execute on behalf of the City of
Seal Beach a contract with the State of California Alcoholic Beverage Control for
the stated purposes in the contract and authorize acceptance of the monies.

There is no environmental impact related to this item.

Exhibit A
SCOPE OF WORK
Summary—
Agency Description - The Seal Beach Police Department employs 33 sworn officers, 27
support staff; 43 civilian volunteers and over 40 Civilian Emergency Response Team (CERT)
members. We are a full service law enforcement agency. Our command staff consists of a
Chief of Police and two Commanders who oversee the Support and Operations Divisions.
There are 16 Officers, four Sergeants assigned to uniformed patrol providing first responder
services•along with one Motor Officer who comprises the traffic unit. Our Detective Bureau
consists of three Detectives and one Detective Sergeant providing both proactive and reactive
investigative support to address crimes occurring in our city.
The City of Seal Beach Seal Beach is located in the westernmost corner of Orange County. To
the southeast is the city of Huntington Beach with the neighborhoods of Huntington Harbor and
Sunset Beach. To the east are the cities of Westminster and Garden Grove. To the north is the
unincorporated community of Rossmoor and the city of Los Alamitos. To the northwest we are
bordered by the city of Long Beach in Los Angeles County.
Seal Beach comprises an area of 13.2 square miles and has a population of 24,605 comprising
over 13,000 households and 5,900 families. his home to the first major planned retirement
community in the United States, Leisure World, boasting a population of over 9,000 and
encompassing nearly one square mile. We are home to The United States Navy's primary
West Coast ordnance storage, loading and.maintenance installation facility where 'they service
cruisers, destroyers, frigates and medium-sized amphibious assault ships is located'at the Naval
Weapons Station Seal Beach. We have seen significant growth in both our commercial
development near the center of the city and in the large multiuse retail centers in the north end
of town. As a tourist destination our population swells significantly during the summer months
and whenever pleasant weather is forecast during other months.
The Number of ABC Licensed Locations within the city of Seal Beach is 64. This includes
on-sale general, beer and wine, and Bona Fide Public Eating Places and off-sale general as well
as beer and wine. Problems in our community range from underage drinking, serving and
providing alcohol to minors, the serving of obviously intoxicated patrons, to noise complaints,
fights, assaults and DUI's. Most of these calls are "Quality of Life" issues, within our
community. Our efforts to combat these problems will he implemented utilizing a multifaceted
approach. First, we will look to educate all of our ABC licensed business establishments, both
our longstanding and the significantly newer. Second, we will work to inform and enlighten our
local community as to our viable relationship with ABC and our efforts to capitalize on that
partnership .through education and enforcement strategies. Third, we will employ various
proactive enforcement operations, both high profile and covert, which will further serve as a
significant visual„physical, and economic deterrence. The Funding Requested is $45,340. Our
Goals and.:Objectives with these funds is to allow us to conduct 12 enforcement operations,
both direct enforcement and partnership based learning, while also hosting ABC provided
educational training for our licensees and their employees. We would continue to maintain and
nurture the healthy relationship we currently enjoy with ABC through in service roll-call
training and operational collaboration.
Exhibit A
SCOPE OF WORK
Problem Statement—
The City of Seal Beach is often described as a quaint seaside village. The predominant section
most readily identified by this description would be the eclectic downtown residential /
commercial district affectionately known as "Old Town." Main Street is, by definition, the
main road into and out of this area. It is a two lane road that runs between Pacific Coast Hwy
and the city pier and is comprised of numerous densely packed businesses including clothing,
confectioners, specialty shops, bars and restaurants. There are 22 ABC licensed businesses
located within the approximately 2,100 feet comprising Main Street.
A constant concern for our community is the ease in which minors can purchase or procure
alcohol. In spite of the efforts employed by the Los Alamitos Unified School District and the
Alcohol Industry itself, substance,abuse by our minor population is a major concern. A study
was conducted by our high school officials wherein a sampling of high school,seniors and
juniors were asked about their preferred ways of obtaining alcohol. Of the responses received,
78% stated that they obtained their alcohol by purchasing it from a local establishment known
for selling to minors; having someone 21 or older to purchase the alcohol or by using a fake ID.
This is in contrast to the 22% that stated they obtained the alcohol by taking it from their
parents.
The Seal Beach Police Department evaluated the calls for service generated during 2016 as
they related to alcohol offenses and ABC licensees. There were a total of 852 arrests during
this time. period. Of those, 235 were for alcohol related offenses. That is over 35% of all
arrests. There were over 500 alcohol related calls for service citywide and 350 of those, over
70%, were generated in the "Old Town" area specifically. The Old Town area has long been a
concern as there are 10 ABC Licensed locations located within approximately 300',feet of each
other and four of those consistently generate the highest number of calls for service of all on-
' sale locations within the city. These calls for service include assaults, intoxicated patrons,
narcotics violations and general complaints from surrounding residents.
These quality of life issues can he significantly improved by the implementation of Directed
Enforcement specifically targeting this area due to their having generated the areas highest
calls for service.
Seal Beach has 34% of our total ABC licensees located on Main Street, within 1,600 feet of
each other. Moreover, 20% of our total licensees are located within a 685 foot block of Main
Street just steps from the ocean and four of the licensees within this densely compacted area are
popular Irish themed restaurants and bars. There where over 300 calls for police service in
2016 relating to these licensees. We have directed multiple police units to Main Street for
several years by 1:00am to help mitigate the noise, assault, urinating in public and DUI
complaints that historically occur by their 2:00am closings.
Main Street itself is only 1,950 feet long and-runs through the heart of our"Old Town" District.
The concentration of ABC licensees has also benefited our local economy in many ways. It has
provided a destination for our significant visitor population and supported many excellent
restaurants and businesses. However, we have also seen a dramatic increase in calls for service,
both citizens reported and officer generated, which are alcohol related.
Exhibit A
SCOPE OF WORK
Projeci Description —
LEAD (Licensee Education on Alcohol and Drugs) —
The ABC facilitated LEAD training presents information to the Licensees within our city on
ABC regulations, related laws and best practice strategies. This allows our licensees and their
respective employees to receive initial or refresher training aimed at enhancing their knowledge
to prevent and dissuade violations from occurring. By hosting this training we reinforce our
desire to not only build strong relationships but to maintain them through cooperative
partnerships with both ABC and their police department.
We will offer.and host the LEAD training at our department for all our ABC Licensees within
the first quarter.
IMPACT(Informed Merchants Preventing Alcohol-Related Crime Tendencies)
We will conduct IMPACT inspections at all of our on-sale and off-sale premises to help
identify and address potential problem areas with our licensees in an effort at reducing crime
and disorder at these establishments. This program fosters a community orientediapproach to
problem solving by generating positive interactions between the relevant stakeholders. It has
been over five years since IMPACT inspections were last conducted and 40% of our current
licensees are new businesses or where ownerships have since changed.
We will conduct IMPACT inspections on all on-sale and off-sale licensees in the city during
the firsttwo quarters of the grant..During the last quarter we will conduct follow-up inspections
locations where deficiencies were identified. This allows licensees time to rectify identified
problems and promotes positive interactions.
ROLL CALL TRAINING—
We will conduct roll call briefing trainings for all of our patrol personnel during the first month
of the grant. This initial training will ensure our patrol force, especially our newest members,
receives the latest information on ABC laws, regulations and effective enforcement strategies.
We will then conduct quarterly roll call trainings working with ABC to provide,our officers
with ,a clear overview and understanding of what cooperative efforts can and have been
successful in other communities. This insight will help our agency with developing effective
partnerships with our licensees.
MINORDECOY—
We will conduct four quarterly Minor Decoy operations throughout the city in an attempt to
discourage licensees or their employees from providing alcohol to underage minors. We will
visit both.on-sale and off-sale ABC licensed locations. We will specifically visit all of the
licensee Iodations on Main Street as well as those licensees who are located along Pacific Coast
Hwy in addition to new licensees and locations where previous violations. have been
documented. During the last quarters operation we will revisit those licensees who were
unsuccessful during one of the previous three quarters operations.
Exhibit A
SCOPE OF WORK
SHOULDER TAP We will conduct four quarterly Shoulder Tap operations throughout the city in an attempt to
discourage both irresponsible persons from providing alcohol to minors and minors from
obtaining and consuming alcohol. We will specifically visit off-sale licensee locations located
in the area known as "Old Town" as well'as all locations where previous violations have been
documented.
DIRECTED ENFORCEMENT—
We would perform directed enforcement efforts utilizing a uniformed presence tot specifically
patrol the Old Town area on and-adjacent to Main Street, including our beach parking lots, both
on foot and in vehicles, during the later evening and early morning hours. Byl having this
proactive presence observed on multiple occasions we create a climate wherein inappropriate
behavior perpetrated by overly intoxicated individuals, as well as a common juvenile
contingent engaged in alcohol procurement and consumption, would not be tolerated and their
actions immediately addressed. We would work with our area licensees as stakeholders and
community-partners. These efforts would help address the issues at their source so, they do not
continue to manifest themselves into negative quality of life issues within and around our
community. We would conduct at least one operation quarterly with at least two operations
being conducted during the summer and early fall months when violations are most'prevalent.
It is our goal to work with our Licensees as responsible stakeholders and community partners
in employing the "Target Hardening" philosophy. All of our licensees expressed that they have
a sincere and fervent desire to avoid selling or serving alcohol to minors. However; our agency
experience has shown that-they ate not always as successful as they possibly could be. We are
interested in their success and we will work with them in this partnership to help them with
these issues and we will work together to prevent future violations and transgressions.
Project Personnel —
The Seal Beach Detective!Bureau will be responsible for this grant with Sergeant Dave Barr
acting-as the project director. Sergeant Barr has been a police officer for over 28 years. He has
a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Criminal Justice Management and he has attended over
2,000 hours of advanced officer training. Over his career he has worked with ABC
Investigators and Supervisors here and as an Adjunct Faculty member at Golden West College.

police officer for nearly 50 years working varied assignments including narcotics, vice and
undercover-operations.
Detective Samantha Mathias has been a police officer for over 7 years and has been a detective
for over 3 years. Samantha has a Bachelor's of Science degree and numerous -of hours of
advance officer training. Detectives Jake Sansenbach and Jeff Gibson arc our newest

Seal Beach comprises an area of 13.2 square miles and has a population of 24,605,comprising
over 13,000 households and 5,900 families. It is home to the first major planned retirement
community in the United States, Leisure World, boasting a population of over 9,000 and
encompassing nearly one square mile. We are home to The United States Navy's primary
West Coast ordnance storage, loading and maintenance installation facility where they service
cruisers, destroyers, frigates.and medium-sized amphibious assault ships is located at the Naval
Weapons Station Seal Beach. We have seen significant growth in both our commercial
development near the center of the city and in the large multiuse retail centers in the north end
of town. As a tourist destination our population swells significantly during the summer months
and whenever pleasant weather is forecast during other months.
The Number of ABC Licensed Locations within the city of Seal Beach is 64. This includes
on-sale general, beer and wine, and Bona Fide Public Eating Places and off-sale general as well
as beer and wine.. Problems in our community range from underage drinking, serving and
providing alcohol to minors, the serving of obviously intoxicated patrons, to noise complaints,
fights, assaults and DUT's. Most of these calls are "Quality of Life" issues within our
community. Our efforts to combat these problems will be implemented utilizing a multifaceted
approach. First, we will look to educate all of our ABC licensed business establishments, both
our longstanding and the significantly newer. Second, we will work to inform and enlighten our
local community as to our viable relationship with ABC and our efforts to capitalize on that
partnership through education and enforcement strategies. Third, we will employ various
proactive enforcement operations, both high profile and covert, which will further serve as a
significant visual, physical, and economic deterrence. The Funding Requested is $45,340. Our
Goals and Objectives with these funds is to allow us to conduct 12 enforcement operations,
both direct enforcement and partnership based learning, while also hosting ABC provided
educational training for our licensees and their employees. We would continue to maintain and
nurture the healthy relationship we currently enjoy with ABC through in service roll-call
training and operational collaboration.
Exhibit A
SCOPE OF WORK
Problem-Statement—
The City of Seal Beach is often described as a quaint seaside village. The predominant section
most readily identified by this description would he the eclectic downtown residential /
commercial district affectionately known as "Old Town." Main Street is, by definition, the
main road into and out of this area. It is a two lane road that runs between PacifielCoast Hwy
and the city pier and is comprised of numerous densely packed businesses including clothing,
confectioners, specialty shops, bars and restaurants. There are 22 ABC licensed businesses
located within the approximately 2,100 feet comprising Main Street.
A constant concern for our community is the ease in which minors can purchase or procure
alcohol. In spite of the efforts employed by the Los Alamitos Unified School District and the
Alcohol Industry itself, substance abuse by our minor population is a major concern. A study
was conducted by our high school officials wherein a sampling of high school seniors and
juniors were asked about their preferred ways of obtaining alcohol. Of the responses received,
78% stated that they obtained their alcohol by purchasing it from a local establishment known
for selling to minors; having someone 21 or older to purchase the alcohol or by using a fake ID.
This is in contrast to the 22% that stated they obtained the alcohol by taking it from their
parents..
The Seal Beach Police Department evaluated the calls for service generated during 2016 as
they related to alcohol offenses and ABC licensees. There were a total of 852 arrests during
this time period. Of those, 235 were for alcohol related offenses. That is over'35% of all
arrests. There were over 500 alcohol related calls for service citywide and 350 of those, over
70%, were generated in the "Old Town" area specifically. The Old Town area has along been a
concern as there are 10 ABC Licensed locations.located within approximately 300 feet of each
other and four of those consistently generate the highest-number of calls for service of all on-
sale locations within the city. These calls for service include assaults, intoxicated patrons,
narcotics violations and general complaints from surrounding residents.
These quality of life issues can be significantly iniproved by the implementation,of Directed
Enforcement specifically targeting this area due to their having generated the areas highest
calls for service.
Seal Beach has 34% of'our total ABC licensees located on Main Street, within I!,600 feet of
each other. Moreover, 20% of our total licensees are located within a 685 foot block of Main
Streetjuststeps from the-ocean and four of the licensees within this densely compacted area are
popular Irish themed restaurants and bars. There where over 300 calls for police service in
2016 relating to these licensees. We have directed multiple police units to Main Street for
several years by 1:00am to help mitigate the noise, assault, urinating in public and DUI
complaints that historically occur by their 2:00am closings.
Main Street itself is only 1,950 feet long and runs through the heart of our "Old Town" District.
The concentration of ABC licensees has also benefited our local economy in many-ways. It has
provided a destination for our significant visitor population and supported many excellent
restaurants and businesses. However, we have also seen a dramatic increase in calls for service,
both citizens reported and Officer generated, which are alcohol related.
Exhibit A
SCOPE OF WORK '
Project Description —
LEAD(Licensee Education on Alcohol and Drugs) —
The ABC facilitated LEAD training presents information to the Licensees within our city on
ABC regulations, related laws and best practice strategies. This allows our licensees and their
respective employees to receive initial or refresher training aimed at enhancing their knowledge
to prevent and dissuade violations from occurring. By hosting this training we reinforce our
desire to not only build strong relationships but to maintain them through cooperative
partnerships with both ABC and,their police department.
We will offer and host the LEAD training at our department for all our ABC Licensees within
the first quarter:
IMPACT (Informed Merchants Preventing Alcohol-Related Crime Tendencies)—
We will conduct IMPACT inspections at all of our on-sale and off-sale premises to help
identify and address potential problem areas with our licensees in an effort at reducing crime
and disorder at these establishments. This program fosters a community oriented approach to
problem solving by generating positive interactions between the relevant stakeholders. It has
been over five years since IMPACT inspections were last conducted and 40% of our current
licensees are new businesses or where ownerships have since changed.
We will conduct IMPACT inspections on all on-sale and off-sale licensees in the city during
the first two quarters of the grant. During the last quarter we will conduct follow-up inspections
locations where deficiencies were identified. This allows licensees time to rectify identified
problems and promotes positive interactions.
ROLL CALL TRAINING—
We will conduct roll call briefing trainings for all of our patrol personnel during the first month
of the grant. This initial training will ensure our patrol force, especially our newest members,
receives the latest information on ABC laws, regulations and effective enforcement strategies.
We will then conduct quarterly roll call trainings working with ABC to provide'our officers
with a clear overview and understanding of what cooperative efforts can and have been
successful in other communities. This insight will help our agency with developing effective
partnerships with our licensees.
MINOR DECOY—
We will conduct four quarterly Minor Decoy operations throughout the city in an attempt to
discourage licensees or their employees from providing alcohol to underage minors. We will
visit both on-sale and off-sale ABC licensed locations. We will specifically visit all of the
licensee locations on Main Street as well as those Licensees who are located along Pacific Coast
Hwy in addition to new licensees and locations where previous violations have been
documented. During the last quarters operation we will revisit those licensees who were
unsuccessful during one of the previous three quarters operations.
Exhibit A
SCOPE OF WORK
SHOULDER TAP —
We will conduct four quarterly Shoulder Tap operations throughout the city in an attempt to
discourage both irresponsible persons from providing alcohol to minors and minors from
obtaining:and consuming alcohol. We will specifically visit off-sale licensee locations located
in the area.known as "Old Town" as well as all locations where previous violations have been
documented.
DIRECTED ENFORCEMENT—
We would perform directed enforcement efforts utilizing a uniformed presence to specifically
patrol the Old Town area on and adjacent to Main Street, including our beach parking lots, both
on foot and in vehicles, during the later evening and early morning hours. By having this
proactive presence observed on multiple occasions we create a climate wherein inappropriate
behavior perpetrated by overly intoxicated individuals, as well as a common juvenile
contingent engaged in alcohol procurement and consumption, would not be tolerated and their
actions immediately addressed. We would work with our area licensees as stakeholders and
community partners. These efforts would help address the issues at their source so they do not
continue to manifest themselves into negative quality of life issues within and around our
community. We would conduct at least one operation quarterly with at least two operations
being conducted during the summer and early fall months when violations are mostprevalent.
It is our goal to work with our Licensees as responsible stakeholders and community partners
in employing the "Target Hardening" philosophy. All of our licensees expressed that they have
a sincere and fervent desire to avoid selling of serving alcohol to minors. However; our agency
experience has shown that they are not always as successful as they possibly could be. We are
interested in their success and we will work with them in this partnership to help them with
these issues and we will work together to prevent future violations and transgressions.
