Edith Stafford, 29700 Hursh, addressed the need for more police. She indicated
that she supports more police protection whether it is for 6.5 officers or 2.3
officers. She noted a vehicle theft in which the police did not respond; but
commented that she had been lucky when she called for the police. She indicated
that it was never possible to have enough police protection, and stressed that the
officers put their lives on the line and need back-up protection. She urged the
Council to go for more officers and cut back the fat.

Police Chief Fetherolf clarified his recent memo to the City Manager in which he
commented that in his opinion the department was operating below the national
standard for police officers. He explained that the minimal level of service in a
normal community is 1 officer per 1,000 population, and his calculation indicate
that there were only about .8 officers per 1,000. He clarified that when he
obtained clarification of the formula for the purchase of police service, it came up
to the 1.0 per 1,000 figure. He explained that this was a general indicator for any
community, and noted that with the projected growth for the next year, he would
anticipate the need for two more officers. He stressed that his original figure of
five officers was incorrect. He commented that they would always like more
officers for additional programs, and noted that they receive 70 to 100 calls for
service in every 24 hour period. He clarified the priority system for dispatching,
and explained that 114 personnel were deployed from the Lake Elsinore Station,
covering the area from Corona to Murrieta and from the Top of the Ortegas to

Perris. He indicated that the City budgeted $5.7 million this year for 35 full time
equivalents and with the requested additions that would increase for next year.
He stressed that they always kept the City contract full, due to their legal and
moral obligations.
Mayor Magee clarified that the City was right on target with the industry standard,
but needed two additional officers to keep pace. He concurred that the Council
would like to have more, but indicated that was their challenge.
Councilwoman Kelley inquired if City officers were going to Wildomar. Chief
Fetherolf clarified that there were officers for City limits, as well as deputies for
the surrounding County areas. He explained that for major calls in the City,
everyone would be responding, as would happen in other areas outside the City.
He stressed the need to protect the officers and citizens in the community.
Councilman Hickman inquired if it was possible to state the preference for a
motorcycle over a patrol car. Chief Fetherolf indicated that the Council could buy
whatever they desired, but clarified that the motorcycle officers were dedicated
officers, for which the City paid a special rate. He stressed that they had to be
specifically trained, so the City had to pay more for them. He also noted that the
other officers were fully supported in the contract. Chief Fetherolf indicated that
his salary was not a part of the contract.
Mayor Pro Tern Schiffner asked for an explanation of the concept that City income
is derived from the issuance of traffic citations. He questioned where the citation
money goes. Chief Fetherolf explained the division of traffic enforcement in the
area, with the County areas being deferred to the Highway Patrol. He indicated
that in City limits the Sheriff has that responsibility so they put two motor officers
in the City for traffic enforcement. He explained that when they write citations,
they will typically use State code sections and when possible City code sections.
He advised that he was not fully able to comment on the distribution of fines at
the State level, but expressed doubt that it would be sufficient to support the
officers.
