If the expansion is approved, adopt a resolution to enter into a contract for the purchase of the hardware components, execute an Enterprise Service Agreement (ESA) directly with Vigilant Solutions, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $497,384.73. The city will exercise the right to utilize the piggy-back clause of the competitively bid solicitation made available by the National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA). There would be approximately $40,000 of additional costs for the physical installation of the cameras, totaling $537,384.73. Executive Summary On March 14, 2017, City Council adopted a resolution to enter an $807,025.20 contract with Mallory Safety & Supply to acquire Vigilant Solutions LP Rs by exercising the piggy-back clause of the competitively bid solicitation made available by U.S. Communities Cooperative Purchasing Program, to purchase 51 fixed LPR cameras. The fixed cameras were installed at 14 intersections in the city and the mobile license plate reader cameras were installed on six marked police vehicles. On April 19, 2017, the ESA between Vigilant Solutions, the provider of the hardware components and software used to recognize the license plates captured by the LPR cameras, and the City of Carlsbad was executed. On December 20, 2017, all installations of the cameras and software were completed. As of July 1, 2018, the license plate reader program has scanned 48,181,824 license plates in the City of Carlsbad. Out of these scans, the Carlsbad Police Department received 267 accurate reports of stolen or wanted vehicles and license plates. These 267 reports led to the recovery of 65 vehicles, or, approximately $459,245 worth of recovered property. In addition, the police were able to recover ten stolen license plates. The LPR readers have directly contributed to 63 arrests based on stolen vehicle reports. However, the use of LPRs has not been confined solely to stolen vehicles/license plates. The Police Department has solved numerous other types of cases through the use of the LPR program. Due to the LPRs proven usefulness, the police department is providing the City Council with program options to expand the LPR program by adding an additional 35 fixed LPR cameras at 20 locations throughout the city. If the City Council is in support of this option, the City Council will August 21, 2018 Item #7 Page 1 of 19 need to authorize a contract for the purchase of the hardware components and the execution of an ESA with Vigilant for the additional LPR cameras in an amount not to exceed of $497,384.73. There are no additional costs associated with the vendor, Vigilant Solutions. If the City Council supports the expansion option, there are sufficient funds in the FY 2018-19 General Fund operating budget and there are sufficient funds in the Information Technology FY 2018-19 operating budget for the program enhancement. Discussion On March 14, 2017, City Council adopted a resolution to enter into an $807,025.20 contract for the purchase of the hardware components and the execution of an ESA with Vigilant to purchase51 fixed LPR cameras to be installed at 14 intersections in the city and six mobile license plate reader cameras to be installed on marked police vehicles. On April 19, 2017, the ESA between Vigilant and the City of Carlsbad was executed. A separate $49,500 agreement for the physical installation of the cameras was executed under a competitively bid Public Works Standard Contract with Bear Electrical Solutions, Bid No. PWS17-126PD. On December 20, 2017, all installations were completed successfully. The fixed LPR cameras were installed along,mairi thoroughfares and they capture vehicle license plates as they pass by the cameras, the photographs are uploaded into a database that is solely available to law enforcement, the license plate in the photograph is checked against a hot sheet (the hot sheet is a list of license plates of stolen vehicles, stolen license plates or license plates of vehicles of interest in other types of crimes), and, if there is a hit on the hot list, police dispatch is immediately notified. As of July 1, 2018, there have been 48,181,824 license plates detected. These detections have resulted in 267 accurate hits of vehicles and licen'se plates that were listed as stolen, lost, or wanted. Of those 267 hits, 65 stolen vehicles and 10 stolen license plates have been recovered, resulting in a total of approximately $459,245 worth of property recovered. ,With the assistance of LPR cameras, the Police Department has arrested 63 subjects in connection with possession of wanted vehicles and license plates. Of the 63 arrests · made, 44 of those subjects had a prior criminal history and/or were on probation or parole, and 18 of them had a history of violent crimes. Six of the subjects arrested were also found in possession of property from nearby hurglaries, and one subject was linked to an attempted homicide out of another city in San Diego County. . Victims' Geographic Areas I -· - Based on the recovery of 65 stolen vehicles and 10 stolen license plates August 21, 2018 Item #7 Page 2 of 19 The majority of the recovered vehicles and license plates were stolen from San Diego County, with ten victims being Carlsbad residents and half of them coming from other parts of North County San Diego. The chart labeled "Victims' Geographic Areas" indicates the areas where the stolen vehicles and license plate were originally reported from before they were recovered in Carlsbad with the assistance of LPRs . The number of arrests related to auto thefts has increased significantly since the LPR program began in 2017. This graph depicts the total number of arrests for motor veh icle thefts in the City of Carlsbad per year since 2013: Auto Theft Arrests 70 60 II 50 40 30 20 10 0 II 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 * Arrests with assistance of LPR **2018 data is year-to-date as of July 1, 2018 August 21, 2018 Item #7 Page 3 of 19 The Carlsbad Police Department's clearance rate for auto theft is 25% in 2018. A case is generally only considered cleared if a suspect is arrested in connection to the case. This clearance rate is nearly double the national average of 13.3% (as reported by the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting 2016 National Clearance Rates). Auto Theft Clearance Rates 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 2013 2014 2015 2016 *2017 clearance prior to the first fixed LPR installation in June 2017 **2018 data is year-to-date as of July 2018 2017 2018 August 21, 2018 Item #7 Page 4 of 19 In addition to the license plate detection system, the LPR system also provides the police department with access to the Law Enforcement Archival Reporting Network (LEARN), which is an investigative software program that allows law enforcement to search for LPR records by license plate number, vehicle description, or location. Using LEARN, the police department can also create an investigative hot sheet, which sends an alert when a certain license plate is detected. LEARN has assisted the police department in solving crimes in numerous other ways. Below are several example incidents using LEARN: • On three separate occasions during calls of vehicle burglaries, Carlsbad PD officers used the LPR system to assist in determining the models and color of the respective suspect vehicles. This information assisted officers in finding the involved suspect vehicles in the field. In all three cases, the suspects were ultimately arrested. • On June 7, 2017, the police department was investigating a missing persons case and queried the missing person's license plate in LEARN. Investigators found that a commercial LPR system captured the license plate at a hotel in Encinitas the day before. A Carlsbad PD officer responded to that location and located the missing person. • On July 31, 2017, a reporting party called in a suicidal person whose whereabouts were unknown. A Carlsbad PD officer queried the person's name through the DMV system and found a possible vehicle registered to her, then queried the vehicle license plate through the LPR database to find the model and color. The officer broadcasted to other police units the vehicle's information and last LPR hit location. Officers located the victim by finding her car. The victim was safely transported to the hospital for a 72-hour mental health evaluation. • On July 31, 2017, a suspect was wanted for an attempted murder that occurred in Carlsbad. The suspect vehicle license plate was entered into the LPR hot sheet. Carlsbad detectives received an LPR hit in Phoenix, AZ and contacted law enforcement agencies in Arizona as well as the U.S. Marshals to look for the suspect near the LPR hit. The suspect was eventually located and arrested for attempted homicide in Arizona. • In November 2017, a vehicle was stolen in Carlsbad and the suspect swapped out the license plate with a different license plate in order to avoid detection. This new license plate was entered into LEARN's hot sheet to alert officers that the plates were swapped and the vehicle was actually stolen. Carlsbad PD received notification of an LPR hit and located the vehicle near the location of the LPR hit. They arrested the individual for being in possession of drugs, and located evidence of an additional 40+ victims of identity theft in the vehicle. Several suspects were identified in this major crime ring, who were believed to be doing burglaries across the county. • Beginning in January 2018, there was a regional commercial burglary series where unknown subjects wearing masks would use sledgehammers to break into businesses during the nighttime and steal cash from registers and safes. Carlsbad had 11 cases that were believed to be related to this burglary series. Using the LEARN software, the police August 21, 2018 Item #7 Page 5 of 19 department identified a possible suspect vehicle that had been captured near three of the businesses that had been burglarized on two different days. Detectives from several counties used this information to investigate their burglary cases. After an extensive investigation, the suspects were ultimately arrested and charged with numerous counts of commercial burglaries from three different counties. • On February 20, 2018, three subjects burglarized a residence in Carlsbad and stole approximately $5,000 worth of property, including three firearms (one being an AR-15 assault rifle) and ammunition. The incident was captured on a neighbor's surveillance camera. The LEARN software was used to determine a possible suspect vehicle license plate. After a thorough investigation, detectives identified all three suspects, made an arrest, and recovered stolen property, to include the stolen assault rifle. In addition, numerous stolen items from other cases countywide were found during the investigation and returned to its owners. • On March 23, 2018, Carlsbad Police responded to an attempted murder in the parking lot of a business. Using investigative measures, the police department was able to identify the suspect and his vehicle, and entered his license plate into the LEARN hot list system. The suspect's vehicle was then captured on an LPR camera in Riverside County, notifying the police department of his whereabouts. Within less than three hours from the original call, the suspect was located and arrested in a neighboring county as he attempted to flee the attempted homicide. • On May 21, 2018, Carlsbad officers received an LPR hit on a stolen vehicle. Officers located the vehicle and detained the driver. Carlsbad Police was then notified that the subject was wanted in connection with an attempted homicide that had just occurred in another city within the county. The subject was released to the other agency to further their attempted homicide investigation. The police department is offering a program expansion option for LPR to include an additional 35 LPR cameras at 20 locations throughout the city. The expansion will include cameras in the downtown area where the number of calls for service are much higher, as well as major retail centers and neighborhoods near motels, and one additional intersection near the city's border. Having LPR cameras in these areas will assist the police department in tracking wanted license plates as the vehicles traverse the city and assist the police department in identifying suspect vehicles as they leave specific areas within the city after committing crimes. August 21, 2018 Item #7 Page 6 of 19 Priority 1: Downtown area The city is divided into eight beats, with the downtown City of Carlsbad Beat Map area being Beat 1. The table below shows the calls for service data, arrest data, and crime data for 2017 by beat, which shows that police activity in the 1 beat is much higher than other beats in the city.

Having LPR cameras in this area will allow the police department to identify v~hicles of subjects who are staying near or at the motels to commit crimes. Below are the statistics over the past three years of crimes reported and arrests made within a half-mile radius of the motels near Avenida Encinas: s 6 7 Motel Area Near Avenida Encinas ~ -, .. · ,.--.. 8 \I stmd . .

According to the San Diego Organized Retail Crime Association, 94.5 percent of retailers have been victims of organized retail crime in the past 12 months, an increase from 89.5 percent the year before. Additionally, six out of ten national retailers reported seeing an increase in organized retail crime in the same period. Surrounding the businesses with LPR cameras will assist in identifying vehicles used by these subjects, in an effort to disrupt their activity. The table below shows the police activity for each major retail center in the city in 2017: Shoppes at Carlsbad 2,331 339 199 Company Stores 2,123 273 65 The Forum 1,320 74 9 Priority 4: City Border The proposed location is the intersection of College Boulevard and Tamarack Avenue, near the border of Oceanside where there is a higher rate of calls for service compared to other residential neighborhoods within the city. Historical data has shown that suspects committing crimes in the Northwest quadrant of the city will enter and exit the city through this thoroughfare. The expansion will place 35 fixed LPR cameras at the following 20 locations: Priority 1 -Downtown No. of Cameras Direction 2 Westbound 2 Eastbound 1 Northbound 1 Southbound 1 Northbound 2 Westbound 2 Eastbound 2 Northbound 2 Southbound 1 Eastbound Priority 2 -Motels No. of Cameras Direction 2 Northbound 2 Southbound Location Carlsbad Village Drive (West of 1-5 Freeway) Carlsbad Village Drive/ Harding Street Carlsbad Boulevard/ Round-About Jefferson Street/ Las Flores Drive Jefferson Street/ Tamarack Avenue Tamarack Avenue/ Jefferson Street Tamarack Avenue/ Jefferson Street Carlsbad Boulevard/ Tamarack Avenue Carlsbad Boulevard/ Tamarack Avenue Chestnut Ave (Under 1-5 Freeway) Location Avenida Encinas/ Poinsettia Lane Avenida Encinas/ Palomar Airport Road August 21, 2018 Item #7 Page 10 of 19 Priority 3 -Retail Stores No. of Cameras Direction 2 Southbound 2 Eastbound 2 Southbound 2 Eastbound 2 Eastbound 1 Westbound 2 Northbound Priority 4 -City Border No. of Cameras Direction 2 Northbound Location Paseo Del Norte/ North of Palomar Airport Road Cannon Road/ Car Country Road Calle Barcelona at South Forum Exit Calle Barcelona at East Forum Exit Plaza Drive/ El Camino Real Plaza Drive/ El Camino Real Marron Road I Jefferson Street Location College Boulevard I Tamarack Avenue · If the City Council is in su·pport of the option to expand the LPR ,program, they would need to adopt the Resolution attached to this staff report (Exhibit 1) and enter into a contract with NCPA in an amount not to exceed $497,384.73. Tlie acquisition will include the commissioning of all equipment, mounting, programming, aiming, software installation, and includes a warranty and service period of five years. The vendor for the LPR system, Vigilant Solutions, is the same supplier the city utilized during its 2017 implementation, and is part of a U.S. Communities cooperative purchase program, leveraging more than 55,000 member agencies. There are no additional costs through Vigilant Solutions for the expansion. Carlsbad Municipal Code section 3.28.100 authorizes the Purchasing Officer to use Cooperative Purchasing Agreements when those agreements are deemed to be in the best interest of the . city and have been awarded in a competitive manner. The Purchase Contract has been reviewed by the city's Purchasing Officer who has found the contract to be in compliance with the city code .. Fiscal Analysis The contract with Vigilant Solutions is for $497,384.73. Included with the purchase will be the cost of programming, aiming, and software installation. Additionally, five years of commercial data and five years of basic and standard services packages to include software warranty, hosting fees, and all required features, as well as five years of hardware warranty are included. Further, there would be approximately $40,000 of additional costs for the physical installation ofthe cameras, totaling $537,384.73. There are sufficient funds in the FY 2018-19 General Fund operating budget if Council decides to move forward with the expansion of this _ program. Further, a three-year cellular Verizon air-card, which is required for inter-connectivity, will cost approximately $47,800. The payment is made monthly in the amount of $1,330, totaling approximately $15,960 per year for three years. There are sufficient funds in the Information Technology FY 2018-19 operating budget for the additional $15,960 annual costs. Next Steps If Council approves the expansion of the LPR program, a contract will be released to purchase the hardware components, and an ESA for the support of the program will be executed by means of exercising the piggy-back clause of the NCPA cooperative agreement directly with August 21, 2018 Item #7 Page 11 of 19 Vigilant. The physical installation of the cameras will be accomplished by requesting bids and executing a Minor public works contract. Environmental Evaluation (CEQA} 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.
