DATE: January 12, 2009
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: David Carmany, City Manager
FROM: Jeff Kirkpatrick, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: POLICE OFFICER TIME DEVOTED TO THE FIVE
SEAL BEACH POLITICAL DISTRICTS
SUMMARY OF REGIUEST:
The City Council is asked to receive and file this informational report regarding
police officer time devoted to each of the five Seal Beach political sub-divisions
or districts.
BACKGROUND:
Council Member Miller asked for information regarding how much time Seal
Beach Police Officers spend in District-4.
Council District-4 is comprised of five separate police reporting districts. They
include the following distinctions:
RD-17: 405/605/22 Freeways and easements
RD-18: The Shops at Rossmoor in Seal Beach and Towne Center
Includes roadways throughout
RD-19: Old Ranch Country and Tennis Clubs
Includes roadways, gas station
RD-20: College Park East residential neighborhood
Includes roadways, arterials, parks, dog park
RD-21: Bixby Center/Library/Offices/Restaurants
Includes roadways, arterials
ANALYSIS:
The Chief of Police directed a statistical compilation to answer the question,
"How much of police department resources are spent in each of the five political
districts." The data mining required an assessment of data from each of the five
districts to create a whole from which to draw accurate comparisons. Statistical
data was drawn from police records of event activity in each of the five Seal
Beach political subdivisions, analyzed, and compiled for each of the last four
calendar years (2005-2008).

Patrol Officers devoted 37,762 hours answering citizen-generated calls-for-
service and self-initiated-activity time dealing with 98,170 events throughout the
community. The events occurred in residential, commercial, beach, and roadway
zones. Note that Leisure World (District-3) actually includes a piece of District-5;
however, police records parsing District-3 cannot be automatically separated.
Statistical analysis of time-use trends in District-4 since 2005 also indicate:
• The residential neighborhood of College Park East showed officer's self-
initiated activity in the area spiked in 2006 and has tapered slowly since.
• The commercial area officer's self-initiated activity showed a similar spike
and taper trend.
• Citizen calls-for-service remained fairly consistent, spiking in 2007.
• Freeway-related activity spiked in 2006 -probably due to the public's
increased use of cellular phones and then tapered significantly once the
telephone systems became more discerning and more clearly identified
calls-for-service generated by cellphones on the freeways vs. away from
the freeways. This allowed the CHP and the SBPD to more efficiently
work their respective jurisdictions.
• Activity in the two primary shopping centers spiked significantly in 2006
with the openings of both shopping centers and has continued at a high
level since. Activity in this region will continue to climb as more
businesses make Seal Beach their home.
The statistical trends that impact District-4 are also shared in some measure with
the other four districts. Each district in town is eclectic in its own right with its
own special needs, differences, and commonalities.
