Signature W Da Type name rl title: CHIEF OF POLICE was S CDOTFom#1116 B/0� PART A - PROBLEM STATEMENT (t) Describe the situation, Include data and any other information to establish the existing conditions. (2) State why this situation is undesirable. (3) What are the causes? (4) Identify changes needed to resolve the Identified problem(s). The Pueblo Police Department is steadfast in our commitment to DUI enforcement. We have regular duty officers assigned to DUI enforcement and we also will be supplementing these officers with additional officers on department overtime to work holidays and special events in the community. Even with our commitment to DUI enforcement, Pueblo Colorado continues to have problems with DUI drivers. The fatal traffic accidents caused by DUI drivers in 2004 were up by 300% over those in 2003. In 2004 our community had twelve traffic fatalities, of those twelve fatalities 50% were DUI or drug related. The Pueblo Police Department made 950 DUI arrests with the average RAC being .130. In 2003 our city had ten traffic fatalities with only two being DUI or drug related. In that year We made 1067 arrests for DUI with an average RAC of .125. The number of DUI arrests was down 117 in 2004 but the average RAC of the DUI driver had increased. While working closely withCdot, since 1986, the Pueblo Police Department is undaunted in its efforts to save lives by combating the DUI driver and taking the intoxicated drivers off of the streets of Pueblo. page PART B - PROPOSED ACTIVITIES GOAL: Conduct four DUI sobriety checkpoints between 06 -03 -05 and 09 -05 -05 TASKS: State what is to be accomplished and when. Beginning Memorial Day weekend the Pueblo Police Department will conduct a minimum of four DUI checkpoints. Many of these checkpoints will be multi- checkpoint events. In our community it takes approximately one hour for the word of the checkpoints and its location to get out to the bar patrons. After that hour, the number of drivers going through the checkpoint decreases drastically. By moving the sobriety checkpoint to several locations throughout the city, we increase the likelihood of contacting the DUI driver. The checkpoints will continue from Memorial Day weekend through the last day of Labor Day weekend, September 5th. We will measure the success of the checkpoint by the number of drivers contacted at the checkpoint by the number of drivers arrested for DUI. Officers from the Pueblo Police Department are trained in conducting sobriety checkpoints and the rules of engagement are already in place. We will need additional equipment for the checkpoints, and that equipment will be ordered in April to insure its arrival before Checkpoint Colorado begins. The first multi event checkpoint is being planned for the first weekend in June 2005. PART C - CAPITAL EQUIPMENT What equipment, if any, will be purchased to meet the needs of this project? Note: Items previously purchased with federal highway safety funds are not eligible for replacement with federal highway safety funds. The Pueblo Police Department has minimal equipment for conducting sobriety checkpoints. For safe operation of those checkpoints, the following additional equipment is necessary: delineator posts, portable speed bumps, and warning signs. This capital equipment will be used long after Checkpoint Colorado has been completed. The Pueblo Police Department plans on conducting additional checkpoints throughout the year and continuing in 2006. pages GUul cormnill6 UIU4 I PART D - EVALUATION AND MONITORING i (1) State how sucess of the project will be determined. Administrative, performance or impact measures can be used I (See Project Evaluation in Contract Management Manual). This program will be evaluated by conducting an analysis of locations and times of past DUI arrests, accidents involving DUI IIs and integrating this with planned events in the City of Pueblo that would normally cause a rise in drinking and driving. This information would then be analyzed to determine the location that would have the greatest impact of DUI enforcement and education. Once a location was determined a traffic flow survey would be conducted in the week prior to the checkpoint at the same location and time of the checkpoint. The media will be involved with pre checkpoint educational messages for the public. A post checkpoint survey would be conducted utilizing the traffic flow through the checkpoint to determine if the estimated traffic flow was met. This will be analyzed along with the amount of impaired drivers contacted. This will be compared to DUI contacts in other areas of the city to determine wheaten or not the checkpoint was placed in a succesful location. Through community contacts we will look if through the pre checkpoint media campaign that the message reached the people and people curtailed drinking and driving. (2) State how the Contract Director will monitor project activity and progress during the contract period. The contract director shall oversee budget requests, location analysis and review all operational plans involving checkpoints. The contract manager shall determine if the checkpoints are being conducted in a manner that best utilizes budget and manpower.
