MONTHLY SECURITY REPORT - North County Transit District

1 January 16, 2014 Board Meeting Agenda Item # 6 MONTHLY SECURITY REPORT Time Sensitive X Consent X STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive the SECURITY REPORT for the month of november 2013. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Staff will provide the Board with updated MONTHLY SECURITY reports. The MONTHLY SECURITY reports provide key information on incidents, emergency, and fire response requests, offences, and arrests. The reports include analysis by mode, location, and indicate trends. Also included in the reports are overviews of special projects in which the Transit enforcement division is actively involved. During the month of november police and fire requests were down compared to the last month. The most common request for police was for drunk in public, with the most common location being on the SPRINTER right-of-way with 6 drunk in public requests. The most common location for police and fire requests continues to be the Oceanside Transit Center.

2 Citations, especially on the SPRINTER, continue to be lower than last year. Additional assignments on the BREEZE buses and Code Enforcement Officers in training are the primary cause of the decrease in citations. Deputies conducted 57 extra patrol checks on the SPRINTER and COASTER vehicles and stations. They responded to 16 calls for service from Station O and had 16 enforcement actions from arrest, citation and warnings. Deputies initiated one new crime case and followed up on 8 additional existing cases. Deputies also vacated 4 illegal encampments and investigated one illegal dumping with the suspect being identified and cleaning up the site. Three Assaults were reported, with two arrests being made. Two of the incidents occurred at the Oceanside Transit Center, the third on the SPRINTER right-of-way. The transition to increase Sheriff s Department and NCTD Code Enforcement staffing is in the interview stage.

3 Interviews have been completed with the Sheriff s Department, and pending approval from the County Board of Supervisors, additional Deputies will be assigned to the Transit Enforcement Unit within the next two months. Interviews for Code Enforcement Officers have been scheduled and new Code Enforcement Officers will be hired within the next six weeks.
