CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 13
December 9. 2003
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Lieutenant Andy Gonis, Traffic Services Commander
Bob McDonell, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: California Highway Patrol DUI Enforcement Grant
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution for the Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) to participate in a
California Highway Patrol (CHP) DUI Enforcement Grant on December 19, 2003. The
adoption of this resolution is a CHP requirement.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The NBPD and CHP join forces regularly in DUI enforcement campaigns. The CHP
asked a number of Orange County Police agencies to participate in a grant program
that they would coordinate. Each city that participates in the grant will receive
additional DUI Patrols as a result. These patrols are provided by CHP personnel
operating in marked police vehicles.
On December 19, 2003 the Newport Beach Police Department is conducting a DUI
sobriety checkpoint operation, as it has each year for the past several years. This year,
several additional CHP Officers will supplement our operation and conduct DUI patrols
throughout our city. This program is very similar to the Orange County DUI Task Force
that our Department has participated in previously. It is the NBPD's hope that through
this effort there will be fewer drunk drivers on the road during the holiday season. This
effort will be publicized through the local media as well.
Funding Availability: The California Highway Patrol is obtaining grant funding for their
participation in the operation in Newport Beach.
