DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Sheriff’s Office recommending the Board:
1) Receive a presentation and update relative to the implementation of the Public Safety goal of the County Strategic Plan. (Est. Time: 30 Minutes)
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On March 21, 2016, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Strategic Plan Goal, Macro Measures, and Objectives for the Public Safety element of the County’s Strategic Plan.
Public Safety’s Strategic Plan Goal is to protect the community, prevent crime, enforce the law, administer justice, provide rehabilitative services, and promptly respond to emergencies and calls for service.
The Strategic Plan Goal consists of five Macro Measures that will provide direction on carrying out the Strategic Plan Goal. The Macro Measures are as follows:
1. Reduce Uniform Crime Rate Statistics
2. Establish baseline number of identified veteran and mental health defendants referred to appropriate court services. Increase for future years.
3. Establish baseline and increase percentage use of non-General Fund funding in future years.
4. Establish baseline recidivism rates. Reduce rates for future years.
5. Establish baseline response time data for calls for service in community regions and other unincorporated County areas. Reduce or maintain response times in future years.
-Sheriff Priority Calls
-EMS/Fire Emergency Calls
In line with the Public Safety Strategic Plan Goal and the Macro Measures, five main objectives for the Public Safety Strategic Plan were established to assist with the multiple tasks and strategies that will have to be carried out to fully implement the goal.
The Public Safety Objectives are as follows:
1. Provide an integrated and balanced network of services resulting in a sense of security for residents, employees and visitors (e.g. preventive, protective, investigative, corrective, punitive, supervisory, etc.).
2. Ensure fair and accessible adult and juvenile justice systems.
3. Coordinate efforts amongst public safety service providers and the community to leverage resources, reduce service delivery constraints, and enhance public safety.
4. Reduce recidivism rates and future victimization through the use of effective justice system practices during the offender rehabilitation process, thereby reducing public safety impacts.
5. Proactively prepare for emergencies to enable swift response while alerting residents and other applicable organizations when appropriate.
Parts of the Public Safety Strategic plan have begun to be implemented. Many tasks and strategies have yet to be carried out.
On April 18, 2017 the Sheriff's Office presented the Public Safety Strategic Plan Goal which consisted of five Macro Measures. The Sheriff’s Office discussed each macro measure with the Board in the presentation, detailed the Public Safety Objectives and touched on how the measures would be implemented. The common approach to each of the Macro Measures was to gain efficiencies, utilize technology and foster partnerships.
On March 13, 2018 the Sheriff's Office will be providing an update on the progress of the implementation of the Public Safety Strategic Plan Goal. The presentation will outline what steps have been taken to implement the Public Safety Strategic Plan Goal and will provide a status update on how the Sheriff's Office is continuing to connect services to those in need, effectively participate in funding processes that better utilize Public Safety resources,invest in the reduction of recidivism and make operational improvements to decrease response times.
