BACKGROUND: At the April 17, 2024, meeting of the Police Advisory and Accountability Committee, the Committee heard a presentation that provided background on the required law enforcement training set forth by the Peace Officers Standards in Training (POST) and the additional training the San Rafael Police Department (“SRPD” or “Department”) requires. City Staff outlined the mandatory training and also covered specialized training, in-house training, outside agency expert training, and non-governmental organization (NGO) training. We are seeking your feedback on the Law Enforcement Training at today's meeting. In addition, staff can respond to any questions related to the April 17, 2024, PAAC meeting. DISCUSSION: The Law Enforcement Training at the San Rafael Police Department not only covers guidelines and criteria to maintain a uniformly high standard of policing but also covers topics related to professional staff, such as dispatch and records personnel. Please note that City staff presented much of the background and context in the Law Enforcement Training at the April 17, 2024, meeting. Therefore, staff recommends that the Committee direct its feedback on training topics covered in the presentation. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. Submitted by: Scott Eberle Lieutenant, San Rafael Police Department ATTACHMENTS: 1.April 17, 2024- Item 3A, SAN RAFAEL POLICE DEPARTMENT LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING POLICE ADVISORY AND ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEE AGENDA REPORT April 17, 2024 Item 3A TITLE: SAN RAFAEL POLICE DEPARTMENT LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING RECOMMENDATION: Accept the report. BACKGROUND: This report aims to provide an overview of the required training set forth by the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) and the additional training the San Rafael Police Department (“SRPD” or “Department”) requires. The report will outline mandatory training and cover specialized training, in-house training, outside agency expert training, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and ongoing training goals and objectives. DISCUSSION: Introduction The San Rafael Police Department operates under the guidance of the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST), a governmental agency accountable to the Governor of California. POST not only regulates the hiring requirements needed to become a police officer but also sets the training standards. After an officer graduates from the Basic Police Academy, training is ongoing and continuous throughout their career. The San Rafael Police Department adheres to these stringent guidelines and surpasses them by actively sending our employees to additional training opportunities. POST enforces strict guidelines and criteria to maintain a uniformly high standard of policing throughout California. Every peace officer, Public Safety Dispatcher, and Public Safety Dispatch Supervisor shall satisfactorily complete the Continuing Professional Training (CPT) requirement of 24 or more hours of POST-qualifying training during every two-year CPT cycle. A full list of the required perishable skills training can be found under subsection (3) Qualifying and Non- Qualifying Training here. The San Rafael Police Department consistently meets and often surpasses this standard annually. Among the various requirements set by POST, training mandates cover essential areas like: •Use of Force •Firearms •Emergency Vehicle Operations •De-escalation •Crisis Intervention Techniques •Cultural Awareness •Crisis Communications To see a complete list of legislative-mandated training, please click here. In addition to the mandated training required by POST, the San Rafael Police Department strongly emphasizes cultivating and enhancing specialized policing skills. These skills typically pertain to specific roles such as Detective or Traffic Officer. Many of these skills demand the completion of rigorous courses spanning 24, 40, and occasionally even 80 hours. These courses are officially endorsed by POST and conducted by seasoned professionals in their respective fields. They offer participants the requisite knowledge of the subject matter and afford invaluable networking opportunities and updates on pertinent legal issues. The various training courses listed below are just a sample of some of the courses we routinely deliver within the Department. •Advanced Accident Reconstruction •Drug Recognition Expert •Sexual Assault Detective •Homicide Investigations •Interview and Interrogation Techniques •Crisis Response Team •Juvenile Detective As the department prioritizes ongoing education and skill development for our police officers and professional staff, equal emphasis is placed on leadership cultivation, succession planning, and cultural awareness. The San Rafael Police Department is committed to fostering avenues for promotion, leadership advancement, and personal development. We actively advocate for our officers to pursue four-year degrees and offer educational incentives and a City reimbursement program for further education endeavors. In addition to encouraging the independent pursuit of educational opportunities, we regularly sponsor employees to attend courses like the ones listed below. The below list is just a sample of some of the courses we routinely use. •Sherman Block Leadership Institute (SLI) •Supervisory Course •Field Training Officer •SWAT Supervisor •Tools for Tolerance for Law •Hate Crimes •Crisis Intervention Training •De-Escalation •Enforcement •Crisis Negotiations Supervisor •Management Course •Implicit Bias and Community Policing •Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging The array of training opportunities available to police departments extends beyond those mentioned above. While providing a comprehensive listing of all available police training in this report is not feasible, a course catalog of offerings sponsored or endorsed by POST can be accessed here. The San Rafael Police Department remains steadfast in its commitment to providing regular and up-to-date training initiatives. In addition to mandated, specialized, and leadership training, we distribute resources towards weekly "Briefing Training" and monthly Lexipol Policy training sessions. Briefing trainings occur weekly at the outset of each shift. It includes discussions led by shift supervisors covering procedures, case law, and scenario-based learning to foster an interactive learning environment. Similarly, Lexipol Policy training involves 15 to 30 policies per month that present scenarios for officers to navigate. Participation in both is mandatory for all officers to ensure adherence to departmental policies and procedures. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. While law enforcement training involves costs, the San Rafael Police Department's Training Manager collaborates closely with the City to ensure that training expenses remain within the adopted budget.

BACKGROUND: In recent years, a growing trend has emerged, advocating for the substitution of traditional law enforcement responders with social workers, mental health counselors, or medical professionals when addressing 911 calls involving individuals in crisis. In response to this shift, the City Council instructed staff to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) aimed at establishing an Alternative Response Team (ART) to cater to the needs of and provide support to members of our community requiring additional services. These alternative response teams are equipped to handle a broad spectrum of mental health-related emergencies, encompassing conflict resolution, welfare checks, substance abuse, and potential suicide threats, all while employing trauma-informed de- escalation and harm reduction techniques. On January 17, 2023, the City Council authorized the City Manager to negotiate and enter into a professional services agreement with Petaluma People Services Center (PPSC) for a 3-year pilot alternative response program, not to exceed $775,000 per year with an additional $100,000 in start-up costs in the first year. PPSC utilized their existing model in Sonoma County for an alternative response team called the Specialized Assistance for Everyone (SAFE) Team. To provide these services to the City, PPSC hired ten (10) Crisis Counselors and Emergency Medical Technicians, a part-time Navigator, a Supervisor, and a part-time Director. On March 27, 2023, the City of San Rafael SAFE Team responded to their first calls for service. The SAFE Team operates 12 hours per day (8 AM – 8 PM), seven (7) days per week, 365 days per year. The SAFE Team partners with other community-based organizations in San Rafael and the County, such as Ritter Center, Jonathan’s Place, Helen Vine, St. Vincent’s De Paul, and many others, to provide outreach, follow-up care, housing assistance, counseling, and other services. The public can access the SAFE Team through the dedicated non-emergency telephone number, 415-458-7233(SAFE), or the San Rafael Police Department’s non-emergency telephone number, 415-485-3000. The SAFE Team is dispatched to the call for service through the San Rafael Police Department’s dispatch center. DISCUSSION: The SAFE Team has handled 2,693 calls for service since their inception on March 27, 2023. Refer to Attachment 1. The SAFE Team’s two most commonly requested uses are for “public assists” and “welfare checks.” A public assist is a call for service or “flag down” by a community member or reporting party indicating someone needs assistance. This is typically for an unhoused individual. The assistance can include connecting someone to services, providing food/water/clothing, harm reduction, assessing someone acting unusual, or for subjects blocking walkways or entrances. Page 1 of 3 Public assists are the most common call for service; the second most common call is for welfare checks. Welfare checks are initiated by community members, social workers such as Adult Protective Services (APS) or Child Protective Services (CPS), hospital staff, family members, or other parties requesting the SAFE Team check up on a member in the San Rafael community. The reason for the welfare checks could be because the person has not heard from the community member for some time and they suffer from a medical, psychiatric, or physical condition, missed scheduled appointments, walked away from the hospital against medical advice following a crisis, trauma, or serious accident. A summary of call types is provided in the following table. Call Types # of Calls Year to Date (March 27, 2023 – January 31, 2024) Percentage Counseling Request 208 7% Death Notifications 1 >1% Public Assists 1,343 50% Suicidal Subjects 67 2% Welfare Checks 840 31% First Aid/Bandage Care 11 >1% Police/EMS Assist 217 8% Community Engagement/ Outreach 6 >1% TOTAL 2,693 100% Depending on the severity of the calls for service, whether weapons are believed to be present, or the severity of the medical complaint, officers or firefighters/paramedics may be dispatched as a co-response with the SAFE Team. Additionally, if an officer or firefighter/paramedic is initially dispatched, but the first responders determine the SAFE Team may be better suited to handle the call for service, the SAFE Team may be requested to respond. The SAFE Team has had many successful outcomes with connecting community members to psychiatric services, de-escalating crises, assisting the unhoused community members to secure housing at local shelters, and providing drug/alcohol addiction resources. The SAFE Team has assisted with medical aid, drug/alcohol counseling, mental health assessments, and diversions of patients from regional Emergency Departments. Furthermore, the SAFE Team has diverted our at-risk population from the justice system through jail diversions and early interventions. An example of when a subject would be diverted from the justice system could be from a trespass situation, simple possession or being under the influence of a controlled substance, or other low- level criminal offenses. If a law enforcement officer had been dispatched to the call for service, there is the likelihood that the subject would be arrested and booked into jail or issued a citation. These types of examples would be considered jail diversions. It is difficult to assess the diversion rate because an officer on scene does not always indicate the potential for a jail diversion. For example, officers may be present during an involuntary mental health commitment. Occasionally, some community members may not be located or will not be interested in the services offered by the SAFE Team. These events will generate a call for service, which will be tracked statistically; however, the SAFE Team may be unable to locate the individual (UTL), the person may be gone on arrival (GOA), or the person may refuse services or refuse to provide information. In these incidents, SAFE Team members will be unable to collect data on the individuals served. As depicted in Attachment 1, the absence of data will be reflected in the “Data Not Collected” section. Page 2 of 3 While the SAFE Team strives to capture the types of calls accurately, demographics of those served, outcomes, diversions, and types of transports they conduct, there are limitations to the data collected. Some of these limitations occur because the client is unwilling to provide the necessary information, how the client interaction transpires, and variables in information gathering due to the complex nature of crisis intervention work. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with accepting this report.

BACKGROUND: On January 17th, the Police Advisory and Accountability Committee (PAAC) took a significant step forward by approving a comprehensive work plan that outlined the agenda for the first four months of meetings. The work plan functioned as a guiding framework, directing our conversations and endeavors as we tackled crucial community issues, conducted essential training, and participated in pivotal discussions aimed at formulating recommendations to enhance community relationships through transparency, thereby improving our police department. With a clear framework, we could approach our responsibilities with focus and efficiency, ensuring that each meeting was productive and purposeful. The approved work plan provided structure to our proceedings and underscored our commitment to transparency, accountability, and community engagement. As we move forward, we will continue to build upon the foundation laid out in our initial work plan, determined to address emerging issues and meet the evolving needs of our community. DISCUSSION: Over the past five months, the Police Advisory and Accountability Committee (PAAC) has diligently addressed two critical community areas of concern: Recruitment and Selection, and Law Enforcement Training. The PAAC has also received training in Police Department Orientation, Structure, Policy, and Command Staff introduction, Peace Officer Procedural Bill of Rights, Professional Standards/Internal Affairs, and Military Equipment (AB 481 Overview). During the May 22nd meeting, we will focus on Mental Health and Alternative Response strategies. However, it is important to note that one key area, Homelessness, which was prioritized during our January 17th PAAC meeting, has yet to be covered. Moving forward, we aim to identify and explore three additional community areas of concern and continue to provide training in areas surrounding policing. We also intend to provide Use of Force training in the upcoming year. There will not be a PAAC meeting in June. Committee meetings will resume in July with a presentation focused on Homelessness, detailing the City of San Rafael's initiatives concerning the Police Department's role in addressing this issue. The Committee should provide feedback on scheduling three additional community areas of concern to be discussed in August, September, and October. In November, we will review the final recommendations from the October discussions and conclude preparations for the Annual Report, slated for presentation to the City Council at the beginning of 2025. Page 1 of 2 Page 2 of 2 The San Rafael Police Department has identified areas of concern that the PAAC should consider for the remainder of the 2024 Work Plan: Homelessness, Community Engagement, Drone Acquisition and Use, and Domestic Violence. The Committee should provide feedback and advice on these matters, and we suggest that the Committee prioritize their selections for presentation at future meetings. By doing so, we will be better able to prepare detailed and informative presentations. After the Police Advisory and Accountability Committee prioritizes the issues facing the San Rafael Police Department, staff will present them, in order, to the Committee at the next scheduled meeting. If the Committee desires more discussion time or information, that topic can be continued until the Committee feels they have adequate information to give advice and feedback. At this meeting, PAAC members will have the opportunity to propose additional topics for Committee consideration. The Committee may adopt the suggestions put forth by staff or propose alternative topics for discussion.
