TO: Richard Larrouy February 25, 1993 San Joaquin County Planning Division FROM: Peter Burnett San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department SUBJECT: UP--92-0031 This project is located in San Joaquin County Sheriff's patrol beat # 6 which is the large geographic area bounded on the north- by The City of Stockton, on the south by The City of Lathrop,on the east by State Highway 99 and on the west by Contra Costa County. This Patrol area is unique in that it encompasses much of the sparsely populated Delta farm land and the densely populated South Stockton- area that generates a great number of our calls for service. The Sheriff provides Law Enforcement services County wide,with three shifts a day, twentyfour hours" per day. A study of our patrol division revealed that we are able to field an average of 1 .1 deputies per shift in area 6. This ratio of deputy to poulation is small when you consider the size of the patrol area, population density and number and type of calls this area generates. Response time to calls, for police service is one means of gauging the quality of that service. Several factors influence . response time. one factor is the ratio of Deputies to service population; for the greater the number of people in a service ; area, the greater the the number of calls for service. If more calls for service are introduced into this equation without a corresponding increase in the number of deputies, response time will increase and the quality of service will decrease. it Some developments do not in themselves create a significant impact upon the Sheriff's Department. However,all development does have a cumulative impact which should be considered during the planning stages. Continued growth of this nature will necessitate additional resources to maintain the current level ' of Sheriff's services. N1 AR 21993 PLANNING DIVISION
