1997-98 PROGRAM AND BUDGET REVIEW 7. What: programs or services would you like to provide but are unable to do so? Zf any, describe. a. D,A.R.F.. Exp~nsign - With adequate personnel, we would like to expand the D.A.R.E. program to include all the eighth and tenth grade level. We could reinforce lessons previously taught and incorporate an enhanced Parent Program. b. P~c~ice Reserve Program - We are unable to expand this program further due to insufficient training staff. With continuous recruiting, in-service and recruit class, emphasis is placed with our existing personnel and we are therefore unablt~ to increase this px•pgram which entails over one year of training fluxing the evening hours, c. Alternative C_dlls_,for Services (ACSj zn an effort to avail more officers for urgent requests, specified reports will be received over the phpne and recorded for insurance purposes by the AC5 Unit. Officers receiving pre-identified property crime classifications will not investigate npr respond to the scene but merely record the information. These may include runaways, lost property, minor accidents, thefts and other minor investigative tyke of reports that does not require an immediate police prnsence. Staffing is required to implement this effort and will be eventually supported by limited duty personnel. d. Court Dpcument Services With a monthly average pf over 2,200 court documents, the burden and responsibility for service of these court originated records should be transferred tp the Department of Public Safety. Until then, we ax•e hard pressed to track, locate and serve court summons an individuals. Additional personnel are required to serve the documents so we can avail officers for emergency and investigative services. As an alternative, we arc researching the feasibility o£ hiring either retired law enfprcement officers or a security outfit to perform this function with limited police powers. Funds would be needed to carry out this project. _y_
