The City of Santa Clarita and the Santa Clarita Valley (SCV) Sheriffs Station have been
awarded, through a competitive process, a grant from the California Department of Alcoholic
Beverage Control (ABC) in the amount of $80,000. This grant provides local law enforcement
agencies with opportunities to expand their present efforts in addressing alcohol-related problems
through a comprehensive ABC program. Sworn officers assigned to the project will work
closely with ABC investigators and receive training in ABC law, alcohol enforcement strategies,
and community resources.
The SCV Sheriffs Station, through the City of Santa Clarita and in collaboration with ABC, will
identify and target problem ABC -licensed establishments in the area, and implement strategies to

enforce alcohol-related laws. The program's objectives are to limit availability of alcohol to
minors, get establishments to comply with the law, and reduce alcohol-related crimes and
disturbances in Santa Clarita.
Program impact will be measured by the decrease in calls for service and by the number of
retailers reached through education programs. It will also be evident in a decrease in the number
of alcohol-related problems and crimes in the community.
The grant will mainly fund overtime enforcement operations. In addition, it will fund travel and
training, equipment for alcohol stings and other such operations, and "buy money" for decoy and
shoulder tap operations.

Decline ABC grant.
Other action as determined by City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The anticipated cost of this program is estimated to be $80,000, to be offset completely by grant
funding.
