RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2016-044 authorizing out-of-state travel for one police captain from April
24— 26, 2016 to attend the 2016 Annual Benchmark Cities Annual Police Chiefs Conference in
Henderson, Nevada.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Benchmark Cities Survey was designed in 1997 by a group of police chiefs from around the
country, who sought to establish a measurement tool to help ensure their departments were
providing the best service possible within their respective communities. The survey, updated
annually, provides a range of information about each department. There are 30 departments who
participate in the survey. The City of Carlsbad Police Department was invited to become one of the
benchmark cities last year. At the annual conference, representatives from the benchmark cities
review the information, in order to set better goals and objectives for policing, and to compare their
performance in the various areas. Captain Mickey Williams will represent Carlsbad Police Department
at the conference.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost for one police captain to travel to Henderson, Nevada including flight, lodging, per diem and
incidental expenses is $1,040. There are funds in the FY2015-16 budget to cover these expenses.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project" within
the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the
environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and
therefore, does not require environmental review.
EXHIBITS:
1. Resolution No. 2016-044 authorizing out-of-state travel for one police captain
from April 24— 26, 2016 to attend the 2016 Annual Benchmark Cities Annual Police Chiefs
Conference in Henderson, Nevada.
