recommended action
RECOMMENDATION

body
Summary
In June 2016, the City Council approved Resolution 2016-06-28-1205 accepting the State of California’s Board of State Community Corrections (BSCC) Strengthening Law Enforcement and Community Relations grant award in the amount of $600,000 for a two-year period. On September 23, 2016, the Police Department was notified by the BSCC that the resolution required additional assurances in order to be in compliance with the grant regulations. The additional assurances do not change the grant program or agreements previously authorized by City Council.
DISCUSSION
Background
On June 11, 2016, the Stockton Police Department (SPD) was notified by the BSCC that the Strengthening Law Enforcement and Community Relations grant application was approved. Funds received for this grant program will be used to strengthen the relationship with the community and reduce shootings and recidivism among young men at highest risk of violence using evidence-based initiatives focused on practice and policy, training, and community engagement. The grant period runs from July 1, 2016, to June 30, 2018.
The strategy will address Stockton’s most pressing crime problem, violence, through the continued development and implementation of the procedurally-just Ceasefire program. Secondly, the strategy will develop an advanced and in-depth procedural justice and implicit bias training curriculum tailored specifically to departmental tactics and strategies focused on individuals at highest risk of violence. Finally, the strategy will develop a strong community engagement initiative, essentially a “leadership council,” that will include young men at highest risk of violence, their families and other community members most affected by violence.
Present Situation
On September 23, 2016, the SPD was notified by the BSCC that the Resolution required additional assurances. The BSCC is requiring that the Council revise Resolution 2016-06-28-1205 to include these additional assurances, and submit the newly revised Resolution to them so as to enable the SPD to be reimbursed for services. Submitted invoices will continue to be processed, but reimbursement will be held until the revised Resolution is received by the BSCC.
