ANALYSIS:
The issue of the State criminal justice system and its impact on local government is
multifaceted and complex. Many of the issues facing the State and law enforcement
agencies have been years and decades in the making. The State has through
realignment, companion legislative actions and voter approved initiatives, placed new
mandates and new challenges to local law enforcement agencies. Essentially,
transferring what were previously the State's responsibility of maintaining the prison
population and administering rehabilitation program, to the local level without on-going
sustainable resources to adequately address these significant changes.
The State of California has faced the issues (both from Court orders and budget) of
reducing its prison population and costs of imprisonment for many years. State
realignment was a significant policy change in addressing these issues, with AB 109
being a companion legislative effort in this area.
Propositions 47 and 57, while both not being direct companion legislative actions
related to State realignment, has made the issue about managing the State's and Local
Law Enforcement agencies prison population even more challenging.
Cities across California are reporting increases in property and violent crimes. A 2015
report released by former California Attorney General Kamala Harris showed an
increase in crime in the State: 166,588 victims of violent crimes, a 10% increase
(15, 163 more victims); and 1 ,023,828 victims of property crimes, an 8.1% increase
(77, 146 more victims). In August 2016, the Public Policy Institute of California released
a publication citing that property crime rate of 2,260 per 100,000 residents in 2015
increased 6.6% from the 50 year low of 2,459 in 2014.
It is a fact that crime both in Temple City and surrounding communities has increased,
whether directly related to legislative changes, we have the opportunity to participate in
a broad educational effort to inform our community about the complexities of the
structural change to the criminal justice system.
Purpose of Taking Back Our Community Program
In an effort to combat the increasing crimes, the cities of Arcadia, Glendora, and
Monrovia started the Taking Back Our Community (TBOC) Program. TBOC is a
coalition of local governments committed to public education and community advocacy
surrounding the unintended adverse public safety impact of recent changes to
California's criminal law. Their stated objectives are to:
1. Raise public awareness of why crime is increasing in the State and our
communities;
2. Provide a consistent message surrounding the facts and impacts of AB 109, Prop
47, and Prop 57; and
City Council
September 19, 2017
Page 3 of 4
3. Advocate for State legislative changes to improve law enforcement's ability to
respond to crime.
Membership and Governance
The City of Monrovia is the lead administrative agency for the TBOC Coalition. To join
the Coalition, there is a $1,500 annual membership due. If the City Council approves
Temple City's membership, the City will continue payment of the annual membership
fee. Once a member, the City Council can choose to opt-out of the Coalition at any
time.
To date, the following cities have formally supported the initiative: Arcadia, Monrovia,
Glendora, Diamond Bar, Walnut, Claremont, Duarte, La Canada Flintridge, Whittier,
Sierra Madre, Covina, and Alhambra. Furthermore, Cal Chiefs and the Deputy District
Attorneys' Association have indicated they are joining, in addition to the cities of
Monterey Park, West Covina, La Verne, Rosemead, Pasadena, and San Marino, all
making formal requests to join in September or October.
Reasons for joining TBOC Coalition
The primary advantage to joining the Taking Back Our Community Coalition would be
that we will be taking part in a public relations/marketing campaign designed with the
goal of getting as many cities in California raising awareness and educating their
communities on the impacts of recent legislation. Membership to the Coalition will also
give the city an opportunity to participate in discussions with its member communities
relating to future legislative actions or changes.
Additional Efforts I Endeavors
In addition to cities joining effort to raise awareness and educate their communities
through the Taking Back Our Community Program, the Los Angeles County Board of
Supervisors (BOS) passed a motion to create a Blue Ribbon Commission on the Public
Safety (Attachment "C"). The commission will be made up of diverse stakeholders who
will examine challenges facing law enforcement resulting in statewide criminal justice
reforms and propose creative solutions to better help former inmates reintegrate into
society and increase public safety.
Lastly, the City of Whittier brought forth a resolution (Attachment "D") asking the League
of California Cities to initiate and facilitate further discussion between the Governor, the
State Legislature, and other key public safety stakeholders regarding the recent
legislative changes that have been made to California's criminal justice system.

Blue Ribbon Commission on Public Safety:
Improving Rehabilitation and Public Safety Outcomes
ATTACHMENT C
August 15, 2017
On February 21, 2017, the Board unanimously approved a motion by Supervisors Barger
and Hahn asking the Chief Executive Officer to report back and provide background
information on the death of Officer Keith Boyer from the Whittier Police Department, who
was shot and killed on February 20, 2017.
Specifically, the motion asked for a review of: 1) a comprehensive criminal history of the
gunman; 2) an analysis of the gunman's involvement with the state parole system, probation
supervision, including revocations; and, 3) a comprehensive review of policies and
procedures to help identify risk factors and recommendations, as needed, in order to ensure
the highest level of public safety.
The motion sought to fully understand the facts surrounding the death of Officer Boyer and
how initiatives and public safety legislation may have created unintended consequences and
placed the safety of our residents and first responders at great risk. The legislation and
policies in questions are: AB1 09-The Public Safety Realignment Act; Proposition 47-The
Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act; and Proposition 57 -The Public Safety and
Rehabilitation Act of 2016.
BACKGROUND
The Public Safetv Realignment Act -AB109
In May 2011, a ruling by a panel of Federal Court judges mandated the State to reduce the
prison population. During the same period of time, the State was facing a fiscal crisis. In
response to both, Governor Jerry Brown enacted AB 109 -The Public Safety Realignment
Act, effective October 2011. Funded by the State, AB1 09 consists of three major public
safety changes:

1) Post Release Communitv Supervision CPRCS/: It created a new community
supervision program known as "Post Release Community Supervision" which shifted
the responsibility of supervision of certain offenders from the State (parole) to the
counties (probation). In order to qualify for PRCS, the last offense for which the
inmate was sentenced must qualify as a non-serious, non-violent, non-sexual offense
(N3).
2) Prison De-crowding: It shifted incarceration from State prison to county jail for
offenders with N3 convictions with no prior N3 convictions.
3) Parole Violators: It permanently shifted the incarceration of parole violators from
State prison to county jails.
AB1 09 also provided funding to support local public safety programs intended to reduce
recidivism through effective rehabilitation, including services for mental health, substance
abuse, job training/placement, and housing assistance. This funding was essentially an
incentive to local probation departments to keep people out of jail and out of prison by
providing them with programming to increase the possibility of their successful re-entry into
our communities.
While the State largely succeeded in its goal of reducing prison overcrowding, some
counties, including Los Angeles, experienced overcrowding in their own jails. As a result, Los
Angeles County inmates (non-AB109) were (and still are) released early to make room for
the N3's coming into our jails.
The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act-Proposition 47 (Prop 471
In November 2014, California voters approved Proposition 47, the Safe Neighborhoods and
Schools Act (Prop 47). Prop 47 went into effect immediately and reduced certain felonies to
misdemeanors unless the defendant had prior convictions for murder, rape, certain sex
offenses or certain gun crimes. Prop 47 also allowed for re-sentencing of those inmates
currently serving a prison sentence for any of the offenses now deemed misdemeanors
under Prop 47.
Under Prop 47, the following felony offenses became misdemeanors for values not
exceeding $950:
o Forgery
o Passing bad checks
o Receiving stolen property
o Grand theft
o Felony grand theft
o Theft of a fire arm
o Possession of a controlled substance (i.e., cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine)

MOTION BY SUPERVISORS KATHRYN BARGER AND JANICE HAHN

The overarching goal of Prop 47 was to allow for the release of certain types of offenders,
moving them from incarceration into rehabilitation, in order to allow the jails to keep other
more serious and dangerous offenders in custody for closer to the full term of their imposed
sentences. For those who had felony convictions on their record, it was intended to
eliminate barriers to leading productive lives, such as access to housing and employment.
The Public Safetv and Rehabilitation Act -Proposition 57-(Prop 57)
Most recently, in November 2016, voters approved Proposition 57-The Public Safety and
Rehabilitation Act (Prop 57). It provides for the following:
• Allows parole consideration for persons convicted of certain felonies upon completion
of their prison sentence for their primary offense.
• Authorizes Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to award sentence credits
for rehabilitation, good behavior, or educational achievements.
• Requires Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to adopt regulations to
implement new parole and sentence credit provisions and certify they enhance public
safety.
• Provides that juvenile court judges, rather than prosecutors, shall determine whether
juveniles aged 14 years and older should be prosecuted and sentenced as adults for
specified offenses.
As of June 1, 2017, the State has begun to create an inventory of inmates who may qualify
for a Prop 57 release and as of July 1, 2017, approximately 600 inmates are slated for
release from State prisons.
The goal of Prop 57 is to allow for early release of inmates who earn credits for completing,
among other things, educational goals or demonstrate good behavior upon completion of
their term on the primary sentence.
Each of these criminal justice policies, (AB 109, Prop 47 and Prop 57) has or will have
impacts on our communities. As mentioned above, numerous studies have been
commissioned to ascertain the individual and collective outcomes and their impact on
society, law enforcement, jails, and victims. However, there is no current consensus on how
to best achieve the highest level of public safety and improve outcomes for offenders. These
goals are the catalyst of much debate, both county-and state-wide.
The February 21, 2017 motion by Supervisors Barger and Hahn focused largely on
investigating the history of the gunman, his involvement in the justice system, and public
safety policies.

Moving Forward:
We must now explore a more comprehensive and holistic understanding that will deliver
lasting solutions to restore the lives of the individuals entangled in the justice system. It is
also critical that we deliver lasting solutions to respond to the challenges associated with
recent public safety initiatives so that we can provide effective rehabilitation and re-entry
programs as well as the highest level of public safety that can be afforded to those who
reside in Los Angeles County.
Lastly, these efforts must also include an understanding of the challenges experienced by
law enforcement agencies and all first responders so that their safety and effectiveness may
be maximized.
Extensive work has already been accomplished by various Departments and workgroups
within the County. Much of this work continues, including that underway by the Public Safety
Realignment Team (PSRT), the Justice Metrics Workgroup, and the Probation Department's
Critical Incident Review Team (CIRT).
Building upon these efforts will enable the Board to lead our County to achieve meaningful
and thoughtful reforms to both advance rehabilitation and also protect public safety; goals
that are not mutually exclusive.
In order to achieve these ambitious goals, we must work collaboratively with regional elected
and appointed leaders, service and treatment providers, justice partners and advocates, as
well as labor organizations. This process must be inclusive and consider all perspectives as
we critically examine the challenges and opportunities for the County to adequately deliver
meaningful assistance to the incarcerated and those involved with the criminal justice
system. We must also provide the necessary tools to our law enforcement partners and first
responders to sustain safe and thriving communities.
WE, THEREFORE, MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS:
1) Establish a Blue Ribbon Commission on Public Safety comprised of:
a. An appointee from each of the Board offices-(5)
b. A representative from the Los Angeles County Police Chiefs' Association-(1)
c. A representative from the League of California Cities Association (LCC) -(1)
d. A representative from the California State Association of Counties (CSAC)-
( 1)
e. A representative from the Los Angeles Regional Reentry Partnership
{LARRP), the Office of Diversion and Re-entry, the Departments of Mental
Health and Public Health-(4)

Department, the Probation Department, the California Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation, the Superior Court, the Public Defender's
Office, the Alternate Public Defender's Office, and Labor-Law Enforcement
Community-(9)
2) Direct the Blue Ribbon Commission to:
a. Be staffed by the Countywide Criminal Justice Coordination Committee
(CCJCC) with any additional support needed from other county departments,
including the Chief Executive Office and County Counsel;
b. Be co-chaired by the Probation Chief and the District Attorney's Office;
c. Work with Departments to conduct a robust and in-depth analysis of
department-specific strategies, challenges, and opportunities presented by
AB109, Prop 47, and Prop 57 including but not limited to:
i. Working with all stakeholders to recommend model programs and best
practices to achieve successful outcomes for the justice involved
population;
ii. An analysis of violent crimes that may be considered for inclusion under
the California Constitution Section 32, Article 1 along with an outline of the
steps necessary to accomplish this change;
iii. Enhancing the exchange of information shared between CDCR and the
Probation Department by building on the relationship already established
and developing and training Probation staff on a list of "key" terms used in
CDCR documents to ensure accurate understanding of their clients'
complete risk and needs;
iv. Developing clear policies and procedures for meaningful revocation and
flash incarceration for the Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS)
program;
v. Conducting a focused study of randomly selected "very high risk" AB 109
Post-Release Supervised persons to identify successes and challenges of
supervision, based on factors such as participation and compliance during
PRCS, and providing recommendations to improve treatment outcomes
and enhance public safety;
vi. Conducting an analysis of the top 100 misdemeanants under Prop 47 with
the highest recidivism rates and providing recommendations to improve
rehabilitative services as well as options for detention; and
vii. Developing a matrix to track the recidivism rate of those released under
Prop 57 and incorporating the findings into Probation's quarterly AB-1 09
report.

ATTACHMENT D
A RESOLUTION OF THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES CALLING UPON THE
GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATURE TO ENTER INTO DISCUSSION WITH
LEAGUE AND OTHER PUBLIC SAFETY STAKEHOLDERS TO IDENTIFY AND
IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES THAT WILL REDUCE THE UNINTENDED
NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF EXISTING CRIMINAL LAW
Source: City of Whittier
Concurrence of five or more cities/city officials: Cities: La Mirada; Lakewood;
Monrovia; Pico Rivera; Rolling Hills; Santa Fe Springs; and South Gate
Referred to: Public Safety Policy Committee
Recommendation to General Resolutions
Committee:
WHEREAS, during the past several years, State legislative changes have made
fundamental alterations to the fabric of California's criminal justice system. Many of those
changes have been needed and necessary, as not all crimes should be punished with
jail sentences; and
WHEREAS, California cities, counties, and the State, however, are facing
increased crime which endangers the health and safety of police officers, residents,
business owners, and property due to some of these legislative changes which created
a situation where violent and career criminals are serving little to no prison time; and
WHEREAS, negative impacts from State legislative changes have been far
reaching and crime rates and the number of victims are skyrocketing throughout
California. The negative impacts of these laws were unintended when voters and
legislators approved the laws, which were instead intended to help lower the prison
population in California prisons and appropriately rehabilitate non-violent offenders; and
WHEREAS, incentives for offenders to voluntarily enroll in substance abuse
programs have diminished, which has had the effect of eroding the safety of our
communities; and
WHEREAS, AB 1 09 transferred nearly 45,000 felons from the State prison system
to local jail facilities, which were not designed to house criminals on a long-term basis
and were unprepared for such an increase in incarcerations, resulting in lower-level
criminals being released early, directly impacting rising property crime rates throughout
the State; and
WHEREAS, many probationers who have severe mental illness are released into
communities where they continue to commit crimes that adversely impact the safety of
community members and drain the resources of probation departments and police
departments throughout the state; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 47, The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act,
downgraded a number of serious crimes from felonies to misdemeanors-drug
possession, repeated shoplifting, forging checks, gun theft, and possession of date-rape
drugs; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 57 categorizes rape by intoxication, rape of an
unconscious person, human trafficking involving sex with minors, drive-by shooting,
assault with a deadly weapon, domestic violence, hate crime causing physical injury, and
corporal injury to a child as "non-violent" felonies and offenders convicted of violating
such laws are able to avoid appropriate prison sentences; and
WHEREAS, under Proposition 57, criminals who commit multiple crimes against
multiple victims will be eligible for release at the same time as offenders who only
committed a single crime against a single victim and allows repeat criminals to be eligible
for release after the same period of incarceration as first time offenders; and
WHEREAS, cities must join together to voice their concerns for these legislative
changes that have created an adverse impact on the safety of residents and businesses
in local communities.
NOW, THEFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the General Assembly of the League of
California Cities, assembled in Sacramento on September 15, 2017, to:
1. Direct League staff to consider creating a task force with other organizations and
jointly commission a report on the unintended negative impacts of recent and future
criminal law based on appropriate documentation by local agencies to identify
necessary changes, working with key stakeholders to promote support for resulting
advocacy efforts.
2. Promote an amendment of appropriate sections of AB 109 to change the criteria
justifying the release of non-violent, non-serious, non-sex offender inmates to include
their total criminal and mental health history instead of only their last criminal
conviction.
3. Continue to advocate to place into law that for the purposes of Section 32 of Article I
of the California Constitution, a violent offense includes any of the following:
• Murder or voluntary manslaughter.
• Mayhem.
• Rape.
• Sodomy by force, violence, duress, menace, or threat of great bodily harm.
• Oral copulation by force, violence, duress, menace, or threat of great bodily harm.
• Lewd acts on a child under the age of 14 years.
• Any felony punishable by death or imprisonment in the state prison for life.
• Any other felony in which the defendant inflicts great or serious bodily injury on
any person, other than an accomplice, that has been charged and proven, or any
felony in which the defendant uses a firearm which use has been charged and
proven.
• Attempted murder.
• Assault with intent to commit rape or robbery.
• Assault with a deadly weapon or instrument on a peace officer.
• Assault by a life prisoner on a non-inmate.
• Assault with a deadly weapon by an inmate.
