SCOPE OF WORK
PROJECT NARRATIVE - ABC (GAP) GRANT - Fiscal Year 2016/2017
"Rohnert Park and Cotati Continue to Work Together to Reduce Alcohol Related Crimes"
Summary:
The City of Rohnert Park, or "Friendly City", is roughly seven square miles and according to the US Census Bureau is home to about
42,262 people. Rohnert Park is a tight knit community made up of a population of 76.1 % White, 1.91/o African Americans, 1.0%
American Indian, 5.25% Asian and 22.1% Hispanic ethnicities. Rohnert Park is tucked away in the bustling county of Sonoma and is
a suburb to San Francisco. The city itself was founded in 1962 and from its inspection the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety
(RPDPS) was founded. RPDPS is currently made up of 63 sworn members serving in the Patrol, Detective, Motor and Fire divisions.
RPDPS is one of two specialized departments that members are cross trained in both the police and fire disciplines.
The City of Cotati is nearly 2 square miles and according to the US Census Bureau is home to about 7,429 people. Cotati is known as
the "Hub of Sonoma County" and is made up of 81.6% White, 1.7% African American, 1.0% American Indian, 3.9% Asian and 17.3
% Hispanic. As of January 1, 2016, Cotati Police Department (CPD) is staffed by 7 full time Police Officers, 1 Reserve Officer, a
Police Sergeant, a Lieutenant and the Chief of Police.
Tucked away in the eastern corner of Rohnert Park is Sonoma State University (SSU). According to the 2013 enrollment numbers
there were nearly 10,000 undergraduate students enrolled at the school. The majority of students live, work and more importantly,
play in the cities of Rohnert Park and Cotati. SSU is made up of 66.1% White, 2% African American, .8% American Indian, 4.5%
Asian and 13.9% Hispanic. In 2014 SSU opened the Green Music Center. The Green Music Center is an attraction that offers various
performance artists for entertainment. This venue attracts people from all over the North Bay to Rohnert Park and Cotati.
Rohnert Park and Cotati officers have a long history of working cooperatively together. Due to the geographic set up of the cities,
many officers have formed strong working relationships. More often than not, officers relay on one and other to offer mutual aid to
serve the citizens of both communities. Officers from both agencies are trained in general law enforcement, traffic enforcement,
criminal investigations, community oriented policing, and crime prevention. Officers in both agencies work within the patrol,
detective, and traffic division at their perspective departments. At both agencies there are subject matter experts in ABC related laws
and regulations, gang enforcement, and narcotics and/or street crimes. RPDPS has 15 officers assigned full time, on a rotational basis,
to the fire division. Officers assigned to the fire division keep their full peace officer powers and are responsible for fire prevention,
fire suppression and basic life support medical care. RPDPS fire crews also assist the neighboring Ranch Adobe Fire District in
serving the rural and urban areas of Cotati. The communities of Rohnert Park and Cotati truly share a symbiotic relationship to keep
our communities safe.
The agencies will work cooperatively, without borders, to accomplish the goals and objectives through 57 enforcement operations, 25
Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) Trainings, and IMPACT inspections a majority of licensed premises in Rohnert Park and Cotati.
In order to carry out the campaign both agencies are asking for a grant award of $41,800.00. RPDPS and CPD have a proven track
record for aggressively combating alcohol related nuisances and crimes. Past grants have resulted in a high level of arrest statistics. A
strong working relationship has been established with Agents from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control Santa Rosa Office,
including Tony Corrancho and Agent Dave Bickel of the GAP Unit.
Our goals and objectives in this grant cycle are to mitigate alcohol related nuisances and crimes as a result of the opening of the
Graton Resort and Casino and Green Music Center in Rohnert Park; target problem premises with special emphasis on alcohol related
nuisance abatement through education and enforcement; reduce alcohol related nuisances and crimes in the Downtown Cotati corridor
(primary focus will be on Thursday nights); reduce youth access to alcohol through preventive measures, by keeping merchants
informed, and enforcement. Prevention, compliance and enforcement tasks will utilize the proven methods of Responsible Beverage
Service (RBS) Training, IMPACT, Trap Door, Shoulder Tap and Minor Decoy Operations along with uniformed and plainclothes
officers observing behaviors and tendencies in and around licensed establishments.
The City of Rohnert Park currently has 94 (30 Off -Sale and 64 On -Sale) businesses licensed to sell alcoholic beverages as opposed to
Cotati's 46 (14 Off -Sale and 32 On -Sale). There are 2 On -Sale licensees at Sonoma State University. Rohnert Park added 17 licensed
establishments this past year. Since the opening of the Graton Rancheria and Casino the City of Rohnert Park has seen a sharp
increase in violent, drug and theft related crimes throughout the city, especially in the area of the casino. The Downtown Cotati
Exhibit A
corridor has several licensed premises within a small concentrated area. This over concentration leads to an array of alcohol related
nuisances and crimes. The Cotati Police Department's resources have been, specifically, strained on Thursday evenings as the five
bars/ nightclubs in the "Downtown Corridor" tend to attract large crowds from Sonoma State University and Santa Rosa Junior
College as well as the outlying area.
Problem Statement:
Since the opening of the Graton Rancheria and Casino, the City of Rohnert Park has seen a sharp increase in crime. The area that
directly surrounds the Casino has seen the largest increase. Graton Casino is the largest Las Vegas style Indian Casino in the state of
California. The Casino offers alcohol service at the slots and tables, offers a number of bars and alcohol lounges, nine casual dining
outlets and four fine dining restaurants. Currently under construction on the grounds is a full scale high end hotel and event center. At
its completion the hotel will have over 200 rooms, a 9,000 square foot event center, an outdoor pool area and full spa. Graton Casino
offers full bus service to willing gamblers as far away as San Jose and Brentwood in the Bay Area.
Rohnert Park is home to Sonoma State University (SSU). The majority of the student population, roughly 6,00 students, live off -
campus within the city of Rohnert Park. Due to an increased number of parties thrown by SSU students, the City of Rohnert Park
enacted the "Loud and Unruly Party" municipal code. Many college aged parties will be made up 10 to 200 people at a time, many of
which participate in heavy drinking. These parties are also attended by those who are under the legal drinking age. Area residents
often times call in the middle of the night because of noise, vandalism to their property, fights in the streets, subjects attempting to
enter their homes due to their intoxication, drunk driving and subjects trespassing on their property to urinate in their yards. SSU
parties have caused calls for service in the evenings, at times, to nearly double to address these issues. Zero tolerance enforcement and
posting of 160 day notices prohibiting the hosting of a party has made little impact. Weekend officers frequently find themselves
moving from party call to party call. A grant team can dedicate resources at the scene to issue citations for alcohol related crimes.
In 2012, SSU unveiled their newest addition to the campus, the critically acclaimed Green Music Center. The Green Music Center is a
state of the art indoor and outdoor entertainment venues that feature live music, comedians, speakers and other special events. The
Green Music Center, at the direction of the onsite SSU Catering service, is also home to a full restaurant and event food services.
Staff within the catering service department serve and manage alcohol sales to visitors at special events and their restaurant.
The downtown Cotati area continues to make a strain of the resources of CPD. The student populations of SSU, Santa Rosa Junior
College (SRJC) and people coming from outside the area flood the streets of Cotati nearly every Thursday for the "Cotati Crawl". The
"Crawl" creates an atmosphere that allows patrons to easily move from one bar to the next, often with increasing levels of
intoxication. In the downtown corridor of Cotati there are a total of 17 on and off -sale licensees within two blocks. On the nights of
the crawl it is not uncommon for the city to be inundated with 1,000 to 2,000 people.
Many of the patrons of the "crawl" are of college age. Frequently many of those, and more times than not, are under the legal
drinking age. Within this population many of the patrons gain access to bars and alcohol with the use of a fake, borrowed or altered
identification. This large influx of people has also shown to cause a sharp increase in fights, vandalism, urinating in public, various
sex acts in public, littering, and has shown to become over intoxicated in the downtown area of Cotati. Theses nuisances and crimes
pushed the local business owners and local residents to contact their city council and work towards the passing of a drinking, urinating
and possessing an open container in public city ordinances.
In both communities there is a large transient population that frequently travels from town to town. Many of these persons are known
to nearly all officers as habitual drunkards causing nuisances in neighborhoods, community parks, running trails and local businesses.
Many of these individuals have been arrested numerous times for being under the influence of alcohol, loitering, urinating in public,
vandalism, battery and other nuisance crimes. During many of the times they are arrested, they are also found to be in possession of
alcohol, and on probation for alcohol related crimes. Many of these people congregate in their own areas of town and visit the same
convenience stores to purchase alcohol. This population drinks steadily throughout the day and show increasingly more signs of being
too intoxicated to consume more alcohol and/or care safely for themselves in public.

Personnel:
As GAP Project Director I (Sgt. Jeff Nicks) have inherited, and have been a part, of a successful team of interested officers to conduct
grant operations on an overtime basis. This team consists of motivated Sergeants and Officers whose main focus is to proactively
combat alcohol related nuisances and crimes. Only dedicated members serve on this team as there is a high expectation to make an
impact during prevention programs and enforcement operations. There is a ZERO tolerance expectation during these enforcement
periods. The team members are as follows: Sergeants: J. Nicks, J, Justice, Officers assigned to patrol division: C. Kaupe, B, Gallo, K.
Astley, M. Snodgrass, N. Miller, A, Savas, N. Bryse, L. Cooper; Officers assigned to fire division: M. Werle and J. Huffaker; Officer
assigned to detective bureau: J. Kempf and T. Douglas. Each operation will be overseen by a sergeant or officer who is well versed in
the Alcohol Beverage Control Act, ABC Enforcement Manual, Rule 141, and other related laws and procedures. The supervising
officer will be joined by one additional officer and/ or the GAP Agent. The supervising officer will report results to the GAP Project
Director. The Task Force Operation will consist of three -two officer teams and the GAP Agent. The Rohnert Department of Public
Safety has consistently produced a reliable compliment of minor decoys through the years. Due to their dependability, our decoys are
frequently used by other grant recipient agencies as well as ABC Agents throughout the state, Many decoys have found their way to
becoming successful officers with various law enforcement agencies throughout the state. All decoys receive extensive training and
must abide by ABC rules and regulations.
As a dedicated representative of the two agency cooperative effort, I will be responsible for oversight of grant operations, preparation
and submission of monthly and final reports, and will continue to be an agency liaison to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control. I have experience as a GAP Project Director under our last grant award, as a participant in several previous grants, as well as
an ABC Mini -Grant Director. I will also participate in prevention activities and enforcement operations. We look forward to the
opportunity to continue a proven and invaluable relationship with the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

PROJECT NARRATIVE - ABC (GAP) GRANT - Fiscal Year 2016/2017
"Rohnert Park and Cotati Continue to Work Together to Reduce Alcohol Related Crimes"
Summary:
The City of Rohnert Park, or "Friendly City", is roughly seven square miles and according to the US Census Bureau is home to about
42,262 people. Rohnert Park is a tight knit community made up of a population of 76.1%" White, 1.9% African Americans, 1.0%
American Indian, 5.25% Asian and 22.1% Hispanic ethnicities. Rohnert Park is tucked away in the bustling county of Sonoma and is
a suburb to San Francisco. The city itself was founded in 1962 and from its inspection the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety
(RPDPS) was founded. RPDPS is currently made up of63 sworn members serving in the Patrol, Detective, Motor and Fire divisions.
RPDPS is one of two specialized departments that members are cross trained in both the police and fire disciplines.
The City of Cotati is nearly 2 square miles and according to the US Census Bureau is home to about 7,429 people. Cotati is known as
the "Hub of Sonoma County" and is made up of81.6%" White, 1.7% African American, 1.0% American Indian, 39% Asian and 17.3
%Hispanic. As of January 1, 2016, Cotati Police Department (CPD) is staffed by 7 full time Police Officers, I Reserve Officer, a
Police Sergeant, a Lieutenant and the Chief of Police.
Tucked away in the eastern comer of Rohnert Park is Sonoma State University (SSU). According to the 2013 enrollment numbers
there were nearly 10,000 undergraduate students enrolled at the school. The majority of students live, work and more importantly,
play in the cities of Rohnert Park and Cotati. SSU is made up of 66.1% White, 2% African American, .8% American Indian, 4.5%
Asian and 13.9% Hispanic. In 2014 SSU opened the Green Music Center. The Green Music Center is an attraction that offers various
performance artists for entertainment. This venue attracts people from all over the North Bay to Rohnert Park and Cotati.
Rohnert Park and Cotati officers have a long history of working cooperatively together. Due to the geographic set up of the cities, many
officers have formed strong working relationships. More often than not, officers relay on one and other to offer mutual aid to serve the
citizens of both communities. Officers from both agencies are trained in general law enforcement, traffic enforcement, criminal
investigations, community oriented policing, and crime prevention. Officers in both agencies work within the patrol, detective, and
traffic division at their perspective departments. At both agencies there are subject matter experts in ABC related laws and regulations,
gang enforcement, and narcotics and/or street crimes. RPDPS has 15 officers assigned full time, on a rotational basis, to the Erre
division. Officers assigned to the frre division keep their full peace officer powers and are responsible for fire prevention, fire
suppression and basic life support medical care. RPDPS fire crews also assist the neighboring Ranch Adobe Fire District in serving the
rural and urban areas of Cotati. The communities of Rohnert Park and Cotati truly share a symbiotic relationship to keep our
communities safe.
The agencies will work cooperatively, without borders, to accomplish the goals and objectives through 57 enforcement operations, 25
Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) Trainings, and IMPACT inspections a majority of licensed premises in Rohnert Park and Cotati.
In order to carry out the campaign both agencies are asking for a grant award of$41,800.00. RPDPS and CPD have a proven track
record for aggressively combating alcohol related nuisances and crimes. Past grants have resulted in a high level of arrest statistics, A
strong working relationship has been established with Agents from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control Santa Rosa Office,
including Tony Corrancho and Agent Dave Bickel of the GAP Unit.
Our goals and objectives in this grant cycle are to mitigate alcohol related nuisances and crimes as a result of the opening of the Graton
Resort and Casino and Green Music Center in Rohnert Park; target problem premises with special emphasis on alcohol related nuisance
abatement through education and enforcement; reduce alcohol related nuisances and crimes in the Downtown Cotati corridor (primary
focus will be on Thursday nights); reduce youth access to alcohol through preventive measures, by keeping merchants informed, and
enforcement. Prevention, compliance and enforcement tasks will utilize the proven methods of Responsible Beverage Service (RBS)
Training, IMPACT, Trap Door, Shoulder Tap and Minor Decoy Operations along with uniformed and plainclothes officers observing
behaviors and tendencies in and around licensed establishments.
The City of Rohnert Park currently has 94 (30 Off -Sale and 64 On -Sale) businesses licensed to sell alcoholic beverages as opposed to
Cotati's 46 (14 Off -Sale and 32 On -Sale). There are 2 On -Sale licensees at Sonoma State University. Rohnert Park added 17 licensed
establishments this past year. Since the opening of the Graton Rancheria and Casino the City of Rohnert Park has seen a sharp increase
in violent, drug and theft related crimes throughout the city, especially in the area of the casino. The Downtown Cotati
corridor has several licensed premises within a small concentrated area. This over concentration leads to an array of alcohol related
nuisances and crimes. The Cotati Police Department's resources have been, specifically, strained on Thursday evenings as the five
bars/ nightclubs in the "Downtown Corridor" tend to attract large crowds from Sonoma State University and Santa Rosa Junior
College as well as the outlying area.
Problem Statement:
Since the opening of the Graton Rancheria and Casino, the City of Rohnert Park has seen a sharp increase in crime. The area that
directly surrounds the Casino has seen the largest increase. Graton Casino is the largest Las Vegas style Indian Casino in the state of
California. The Casino offers alcohol service at the slots and tables, offers a number ofbars and alcohol lounges, nine casual dining
outlets and four fine dining restaurants. Currently under construction on the grounds is a full scale high end hotel and event center. At
its completion the hotel will have over 200 rooms, a 9,000 square foot event center, an outdoor pool area and full spa. Graton Casino
offers full bus service to willing gamblers as far away as San Jose and Brentwood in the Bay Area.
Rohnert Park is home to Sonoma State University (SSU). The majority of the student population, roughly 6,00 students, live off -
campus within the city of Rohnert Park. Due to an increased number of parties thrown by SSU students, the City of Rohnert Park
enacted the "Loud and Unruly Party" municipal code. Many college aged parties will be made up 10 to 200 people at a time, many of
which participate in heavy drinking. These parties are also attended by those who arc under the legal drinking age. Area residents often
times call in the middle of the night because of noise, vandalism to their property, fights in the streets, subjects attempting to enter their
homes due to their intoxication, drunk driving and subjects trespassing on their property to urinate in their yards. SSU parties have
caused calls for service in the evenings, at times, to nearly double to address these issues. Zero tolerance enforcement and posting of
160 day notices prohibiting the hosting of a party has made little impact. Weekend officers frequently find themselves moving from
party call to party call. A grant team can dedicate resources at the scene to issue citations for alcohol related crimes.
In 2012, SSU unveiled their newest addition to the campus, the critically acclaimed Green Music Center. The Green Music Center is a
state of the art indoor and outdoor entertainment venues that feature live music, comedians, speakers and other special events. The
Green Music Center, at the direction of the onsite SSU Catering service, is also home to a full restaurant and event food services.
Staff within the catering service department serve and manage alcohol sales to visitors at special events and their restaurant.
The downtown Cotati area continues to make a strain of the resources of CPD. The student populations of SSU, Santa Rosa Junior
College (SRJC) and people coming from outside the area flood the streets of Cotati nearly every Thursday for the "Cotati Crawl". The
"Crawl" creates an atmosphere that allows patrons to easily move from one bar to the next, often with increasing levels of
intoxication. In the downtown corridor of Cotati there are a total of 17 on and off -sale licensees within two blocks. On the nights of
the crawl it is not uncommon for the city to be inundated with 1,000 to 2,000 people.
Many of the patrons of the "crawl" are of college age. Frequently many of those, and more times than not, are under the legal
drinking age. Within this population many of the patrons gain access to bars and alcohol with the use of a fake, borrowed or altered
identification. This large influx of people has also shown to cause a sharp increase in fights, vandalism, urinating in public, various
sex acts in public, littering, and has shown to become over intoxicated in the downtown area of Cotati. 'yeses nuisances and crimes
pushed the local business owners and local residents to contact their city council and work towards the passing of a drinking, urinating
and possessing an open container in public city ordinances,
In both communities there is a large transient population that frequently travels from town to town. Many of these persons are known
to nearly all officers as habitual drunkards causing nuisances in neighborhoods, community parks, running trails and local businesses.
Many of these individuals have been arrested numerous times for being under the influence of alcohol, loitering, urinating in public,
vandalism, battery and other nuisance crimes. During many of the times they are arrested, they are also found to be in possession of
alcohol, and on probation for alcohol related crimes. Many of these people congregate in their own areas of town and visit the same
convenience stores to purchase alcohol. This population drinks steadily throughout the day and show increasingly more signs of being
too intoxicated to consume more alcohol and/or care safely for themselves in public.

Personnel:
As GAP Project Director I (Sgt. Jeff Nicks) have inherited, and have been a part, of a successful team of interested officers to conduct
grant operations on an overtime basis. This team consists of motivated Sergeants and Officers whose main focus is to proactively
combat alcohol related nuisances and crimes. Only dedicated members serve on this team as there is a high expectation to make an
impact during prevention programs and enforcement operations. There is a ZERO tolerance expectation during these enforcement
periods. The team members are as follows: Sergeants: J. Nicks, J. Justice, Officers assigned to patrol division: C. Kaupe, B. Gallo, K.
Astley, M. Snodgrass, N. Miller, A Savas, N. Bryse, L. Cooper; Officers assigned to fire division: M. Werle and J. Huffaker; Officer
assigned to detective bureau: J. Kempf and T. Douglas. Each operation will be overseen by a sergeant or officer who is well versed in
the Alcohol Beverage Control Act, ABC Enforcement Manual, Rule 141, and other related laws and procedures. The supervising
officer will be joined by one additional officer and/ or the GAP Agent. The supervising officer will report results to the GAP Project
Director. The Task Force Operation will consist of three -two officer teams and the GAP Agent. The Rohnert Department of Public
Safety has consistently produced a reliable compliment of minor decoys through the years. Due to their dependability, our decoys are
frequently used by other grant recipient agencies as well as ABC Agents throughout the state. Many decoys have found their way to
becoming successful officers with various law enforcement agencies throughout the state. All decoys receive extensive training and
must abide by ABC rules and regulations.
As a dedicated representative of the two agency cooperative effort, I will be responsible for oversight of grant operations, preparation
and submission of monthly and final reports, and will continue to be an agency liaison to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control. I have experience as a GAP Project Director under our last grant award, as a participant in several previous grants, as well as
an ABC Mini -Grant Director. I will also participate in prevention activities and enforcement operations. We look forward to the
opportunity to continue a proven and invaluable relationship with the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
