ANALYSIS:
With the passage of Proposition 64, the Control, Regulate, and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act
(AUMA), California voters mandated the state set aside funding for the California Highway Patrol
(CHP) to award grants to local governments and qualified nonprofit organizations, as described in
Revenue and Taxation Code Section 34019(f)(3)(B). The Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program
marks an important step toward reducing impaired driving crashes, increasing public awareness
surrounding the dangers of impaired driving, and making California’s roadways a safer place to
travel. The City of Azusa has been approved for the CTFGP Grant for reimbursement of eligible
expenses to conduct DUI enforcement, including cost for operations, equipment, and
vehicle.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This is a reimbursement grant in the amount of $113,345.60 from the State of California Cannabis
Tax Fund Grant Program. Upon receipt of goods, the City of Azusa Police Department will submit
reimbursement requests for eligible expenses. Reimbursement is expected to take 90-120 days.
Upon City Council approval and execution of the agreement, Staff will prepare a budget
amendment for the CTFGP grant.

Schedule A
Azusa Police Department
All grant awards, including any adjustments to requested funding, were made by the Cannabis
Grants Unit based on the merits of the Grant Application, scale of operation, and in accordance with
the Request for Application (RFA) requirements and associated regulations. As a result, not all

Budget Estimate for approved Budget line items and Project activities. Project activities and items
that are not clearly identified/specified in the Grant Agreement must be submitted to and approved
by CGU prior to purchase.
Project Description
The Azusa Police Department has observed an uptick in impaired driving incidents, notably involving alcohol
and drugs, following the legalization of marijuana in California. To address the pressing issue, the Azusa
Police Department proposes an Impaired Driving Enforcement Project aimed at mitigating the risks
associated with driving under the influence.
Our strategy revolves around reactive selective enforcement of DUI/DUI Drugs and related primary collision
factors. By rigorously enforcing DUI laws pertaining to alcohol, drugs, marijuana, and other associated
collision factors, we aim to decrease the occurrence of collisions resulting in fatalities or injuries.
The Azusa PD Impaired Driving Enforcement Project aims to bolster public safety by reducing the number of
individuals harmed in collisions involving alcohol and drugs. Collaborating with partners in the community and
other entities, we will disseminate educational materials targeting drivers of all ages, shedding light on the
adverse effects of substance-impaired driving. Project funding will be allocated towards DUI saturation patrols
and traffic related enforcement.
Problem Statement & Proposed Solution
Problem Statement:
The Azusa Police Department continues to experience a rise in DUI arrests and collisions. Azusa PD
continues to work diligently to mitigate the issued related to alcohol and drug impaired drivers. However, there
is a need to continue officer education through SFST and ARIDE. Azusa PD has trained more and more
officers as they begin their careers at Azusa PD, and officers throughout the agency have continued to
complete these assigned training courses. The courses offer Officers the skills to help reduce the number of
DUI injury collisions. Due to the types of calls for service, staff can't focus on DUI efforts alone when working
their traditional shift. It is most effective to have officers conduct directed enforcement shifts to mitigate the
risks of DUI drivers.
In 2023, Azusa PD Officers arrested 88 suspected DUI drivers and investigated 13 Alcohol-involved Injury
Collisions. The total number of injury traffic collisions for the year was 104.
Solution:
The proposed solution is to conduct 24 (6-hour) directed DUI saturations details over the fiscal grant year.
SFST/ARIDE trained officers will work to locate and carry out DUI enforcement within the city limits of Azusa.
Officers will conduct operations in teams of 2, assigned to one vehicle. Azusa PD is a small agency with
limited resources and minimum amount of patrol vehicles and MDCs. Officers will utilize a dedicated DUI
enforcement vehicle obtained through grant project funding to facilitate the DUI saturations operations. The
dedicated DUI traffic enforcement vehicle will be fully equipped with emergency lighting, a siren, a police
radio, in-car radar, an MDC and prisoner transfer equipment. The funding for the DUI Saturation details will
reduce the number of DUI and marijuana-related injury collisions and enhance community safety through
education and enforcement.
To accomplish the proposed project objective, the following budget items are needed:
Enforcement Overtime Salary
1. (24) DUI Saturation Patrol (6-hour operations, 2 officers per operation)
2. Fringe Benefits for operations at 5.5%
Equipment:
1. DUI Enforcement Vehicle (Dodge Durango Patrol Vehicle), outfitting
Schedule A
Performance Measures/Scope of Work
The goal of the Azusa Police Department Impaired Driving Project is to decrease the number of people killed
and injured in alcohol-involved traffic collisions. Through public awareness, enforcement and education,
Azusa PD will work to reduce the number of DUI and DUI related injuries by 25% and fatal collisions related
to impaired driving by 50%.
These following objectives must be met accomplished to complete the grant.
Objective: Directed Enforcement
1. Azusa PD will conduct (24) DUI Enforcement Operations throughout the grant year. These DUI
enforcement operations will specifically target DUI drivers to reduce the number of injuries and fatal collisions.
Officers working the DUI Enforcement Operations will utilize specialized SFST/ARIDE training to conduct their
DUI investigations.
a. OVERTIME SALARIES: (24) DUI enforcement operations will consist of (2) officers for a (6 hour)
overtime operations. A minimum of 6 DUI enforcement operations will be conducted per quarter during
the duration of the grant period.
b. EQUIPMENT: Dedicated DUI Enforcement Operations Vehicle will be used to facilitate Azusa PD's
enforcement efforts. Officers assigned to the DUI enforcement operations will utilized the DUI
Enforcement Vehicle to successfully conduct operations.
Project Performance Evaluation
The Azusa Police Department Traffic Bureau will utilize data during the grant period to complete a final
evaluation in the fourth and final quarter of the project. The final evaluation will provide a summary of the
grant's accomplishments, challenges, and significant activities. The Traffic Bureau will also include
information regarding met objectives, exceeded objectives or an explanation of why objectives were not
completed. Azusa PD will utilize data from our reporting software, Spillman and Crossroads Analytics to
provide accurate traffic collision data. The programs have the ability to track detailed information on DUI
related incidents. Data from the programs will be utilized to compare data obtained during the grant year and
years prior. This data will provide information on the success of the grant. The Traffic Bureau will
compile statistics on DUI, DUI traffic collisions, DUI injury collisions and DUI traffic fatalities for quarterly
evaluations.
Program Sustainability
In an effort to provide the most knowledgeable officers to the grant operations, we will also continue to train
new officers in our goals and objectives related to this project. This will provide officers in the department with
greater confidence in their ability to proactively seek DUI drivers and efficiently handle these types of
investigations. The expertise gained will continue to develop long after the end of the grant, further improving
public safety in the community.
Obtaining specialized equipment through this grant project such as a dedicated DUI Enforcement vehicle is
essential to the success of this DUI enforcement project. The dedicated DUI Enforcement Vehicle will
facilitate DUI enforcement and enhance the department's efforts to deter and identify DUI drivers for many
years, exceeding the grant year. The Azusa Police Department is dedicated to the safety of the community
and ready to reduce the number of alcohol-involved traffic incidents.
Administrative Support
The Azusa Police Department has successfully managed multiple grants in previous years. We have received
and successfully managed the OTS STEP Grant. Records and statistics are regularly updated by our staff.
We were recent recipients of the OTS TRIP grant and are in the process of integrating Crossroads with our
Spillman program to better track and more accurately report traffic data. We handle our quarterly reports,
financial claims, record keeping, and grant billing. We are adequately staffed and ready to reduce the number
of DUI incidents in our community.
