2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This section provides a brief, but comprehensive overview of our proposal to
conduct this JPA Feasibility Study.
1. SCOPE OF WORK
This study is designed to evaluate the feasibility of creating a Police Services
Joint Powers Authority (JPA) to manage the services of 11 cities – Canyon Lake,
Calimesa, Coachella, Jurupa Valley, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Moreno Valley, Perris, San
Jacinto, and Temecula. The initial analysis, the first of three phases, is designed to be
a comprehensive feasibility study of the police services needs and costs of a JPA and
will include:
• Determining the potential of a JPA to manage police services consistent with the
level currently provided by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.
• Identifying the advantages and disadvantages of creating a JPA as compared to
the current services.
• A detailed review of existing police management and operations.
• Establishing a recommended organizational structure for the JPA as compared to
the existing organization and staffing levels of each participating agency.
• Defining the services and method of service delivery under the JPA for all
necessary functions of the police organization.
• Defining and determining cost factors for the administration, capital purchases,
and start-up of the JPA structure.
• Determining how the JPA would have access and use of necessary Riverside
County Sheriff’s Office regional law enforcement services.
• A comprehensive salary and benefit survey with recommended compensation
ranges for each job classification, including pension options.
• Potential areas of financial savings in the immediate and long term compared to
current costs.
• A proposed implementation schedule, considering that Phase 2 (how to execute
implementation) and Phase 3 (full implementation) will follow subsequently.
While most communities are satisfied with the Sheriff’s Office’s handling of and

response to crime and service needs, examining joint service alternatives is ‘due
diligence’ on these contract services. These issues underscore the cities’ interest in this
study. For this study, however, there is an important test that is the focus of much of
the analysis – is the JPA cost effective yet still provides proper police services for all
entities involved as compared to current levels of service.
The overall structure of this evaluation is envisioned to be comprise three phases
– this feasibility evaluation and subsequent implementation phases (2). The next
section of the proposal describes in detail how the Matrix Consulting Group would
evaluate the feasibility in Phase 1.
2. WORK APPROACH
This study to be defensible and usable needs to be based on a number of
principles:
• Extensive input from local managers and elected officials.
• Reaching out to citizens on law enforcement services and alternatives.
• Be extensively and thoroughly fact based.
• Be subject to extensive reviews with a project committee.
• The final report needs not only to recap this but to start implementation.
The table, below, graphically displays the steps and tentative schedule to
conduct the Police Services JPA Feasibility Study. As can be seen from the chart, we
are proposing that the study be completed in 20 weeks (five months).

Matrix Consulting Group Page 5
3. APPROACH TO SCOPE OF WORK
The section, which follows, presents a detailed description of the analytical tasks
we will complete to achieve the study objectives of this Police Services JPA Feasibility
Study. This study would be conducted in three phases – the first phase encompassing
fact finding, issues identification, analysis and recommendations; then implementation
assistance. The task plan, which follows, describes how this study would be conducted
in Phase 1 only.
1. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING.
This study is designed to evaluate the feasibility of creating a Police Services
Joint Powers Authority (JPA) to manage the services of 11 cities – Canyon Lake,
Calimesa, Coachella, Jurupa Valley, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Moreno Valley, Perris, San
Jacinto, and Temecula. The initial analysis, the first of three phases, is designed to be
a comprehensive feasibility study of the police services needs and costs of a JPA and
will include:
• Determining the potential of a JPA to manage police services consistent with the
level currently provided by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.
• Identifying the advantages and disadvantages of creating a JPA as compared to
the current services.
• A detailed review of existing police management and operations.
• Establishing a recommended organizational structure for the JPA as compared to
the existing organization and staffing levels of each participating agency.
• Defining the services and method of service delivery under the JPA for all
necessary functions of the police organization.
• Defining and determining cost factors for the administration, capital purchases,
and start-up of the JPA structure.
• Determining how the JPA would have access and use of necessary Riverside
County Sheriff’s Office regional law enforcement services.
• A comprehensive salary and benefit survey with recommended compensation
ranges for each job classification, including pension options.
• Potential areas of financial savings in the immediate and long term compared to
current costs.

• A proposed implementation schedule, considering that Phase 2 (how to execute
implementation) and Phase 3 (full implementation) will follow subsequently.
This is expected to be an empirical study – based on data reflecting the needs
and uses of law enforcement services by all governmental entities participating, but
also predicated on intensive input from staff within the these agencies.
(1) Current Contract Services
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office currently provides police services for
seventeen (17) cities and one (1) Indian Reservation through individual contracts.
Those cities include:
• Calimesa ** • Moreno Valley**
• Canyon Lake** • Morongo Indian Reservation
• Coachella** • Norco
• Eastvale • Palm Desert
• Indian Wells • Perris**
• Jurupa Valley** • Rancho Mirage
• Lake Elsinore ** • San Jacinto **
• La Quinta • Temecula**
• Menifee** • Wildomar
** Cities interested in a feasibility study for a JPA as of release of this proposal
(2) Contract Costs:
The principal motivation for this study are increases in contract costs. Cities pay
a set rate for the number of patrol hours they need to provide adequate police coverage,
plus more for additional services. The cost per hour is adjusted annually and, while the
Great Recession slowed the rate of increase, they are increasing again and
cumulatively have been great over time. The rates for the past eight fiscal years, along
with the increase over the previous year, are as follows:
2007-08: $111.80 (up 5.03%)
2008-09: $117.30 (up 4.84%)
2009-10: $121.97 (up 3.98%)
2010-11: $125.37 (up 2.79%)
2011-12: $126.74 (up 1.09%)
2012-13: $132.69 (up 4.69%)
2013-14: $139.29 (up 4.97%)
2014-15: $149.09 (up 7.04%)
Cumulative Change: 33.4%

Matrix Consulting Group Page 7
Trends in these contract cost per hour changes are shown graphically below:
The cities participating in this study together paid almost $120 million for contract
law enforcement services to Riverside County in 2015 (not including the Morongo Indian
Reservation). Contract costs for participating cities in this study are shown in the
following table along with the range of costs per capita for each city.
• Depending on size and services contracted for the costs per community range
from $1.4 million for Calimesa (and $1.5 million for Canyon Lake) to $33.4 million
for Moreno Valley.
• On a cost per capita, the costs range greatly – from $122 for Menifee to $203 for
Temecula, a variation of 65%.
In conclusion, due to the increase in cost annually averaging more than 4% for
the first seven years and more than 7% over the previous year, cities are looking at
having to make choices between current service levels and the ability to pay the

predicted costs for police services. The Sheriff’s Office is expecting to increase costs
by 7% for the next several years due to its own projected budget shortfall. This is a
primary reason for the commissioning of this study.
(3) Crime
As demonstrated in the following tables, the number of violent crimes and
property crimes for the cities (and not including the Reservation) covered in this study
vary considerably.
Violent Crimes
2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
Calimesa 18 10 13 14 17
Canyon Lake 10 21 11 3 13

San Jacinto 1371 1462 1479 1805 1875
Temecula 2351 2406 2440 2848 2535
As with costs, it is valuable to adjust for community size and examine crime
rates. These figures are shown in the following table.
Crime Rates 2015
Violent Crimes/1,000 pop Property Crimes/1,000 pop
Calimesa 1.60 24.83

While most communities are satisfied with the Sheriff’s Office’s handling of and
response to crime and service needs, examining joint service alternatives is ‘due
diligence’ on these contract services. These issues underscore the cities’ interest in this
study. For this study, however, there is an important test that is the focus of much of
the analysis – is the JPA cost effective yet still provides proper police services for all
entities involved as compared to current levels of service.
The overall structure of this evaluation is envisioned to be comprise three phases
– this feasibility evaluation and subsequent implementation phases (2). The next
section of the proposal describes in detail how the Matrix Consulting Group would
evaluate the feasibility in Phase 1.
2. TASK PLAN
The task plan, which follows, provides a detailed description of the steps that the
project team would take to conduct and complete this study for the agencies
participating in this study (‘agency’, including the participating cities and the Morongo
Indian Reservation).
Task 1 Initiate the Project and Document Law Enforcement Trends and
Issues Which Led to This Study.
The purpose of this first task is to develop a thorough understanding of issues
and expectations of all parties to the study. Completion of this task will include:
• Interview the City Managers and, if desired, representative elected officials from
each of the participating agencies. During the course of these interviews, the
project team will explore the following:
– Attitudes toward current service levels and service responsiveness of the
Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.
– Views toward any unmet law enforcement related needs.
– An understanding of cost of service trends and issues.
– Identification and views toward any viable alternatives.
– Identification of issues regarding regional service delivery issues.
• Interview key representatives of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office (RCSO),
including each local contract police chief. These interviews would review and
discuss such issues as the following:
– How the RCSO currently serves each agency and surrounding areas.
CITY OF SAN JACINTO, CALIFORNIA
Proposal to Conduct a Police Services JPA Feasibility Study (RFP 2015-019)
Matrix Consulting Group Page 10
– Methods by which the RCSO communicates with officials and citizens.
– Trends and issues that have arisen over the past few years.
– Budget and resource allocation issues facing the RCSO that could further
impact contract service operations.
The project team would also collect budgets, recent service and performance
reports provided and demographic information / projections for each agency.
Task Result: The result of this task would be a final project work plan reflecting
the project team’s improved understanding of the interest of each agency in
participating in this project. We would present this project plan to the project
committee.
Task 2 Document and Compare Law Enforcement Services, Staffing,
Workloads and Service Levels in Each Jurisdiction.
To establish a basis for structuring and comprehensively evaluating the law
enforcement organization alternatives, we will develop a portrait of staffing, workloads
and service levels. We will gather and analyze detailed information about staffing,
deployment, crime and service workloads, and service levels from the RCSO. In order
to understand the system of law enforcement service delivery and the basis for
organizational alternatives, we will document the following:
• Contract service requirements.
• Community-generated calls for service (CFS) workloads by time of day and day
of week; similarly, document deputy-initiated workloads. Develop long term trend
data on calls for service and deputy-initiated activities.
• Part I and Part II crime rates and arrests in each jurisdiction (by type) over 10
years.
• Field deployment levels by the RCSO in each jurisdiction and surrounding areas.
• Response times by priority or urgency of call.
• Document the types of deputy-initiated activities currently accomplished by field
patrol personnel. Develop an understanding of the ways in which these activities
are planned and staff help accountable.
• Other workloads of patrol (as well as other personnel) such as court
appearances, public education, etc.
CITY OF SAN JACINTO, CALIFORNIA
Proposal to Conduct a Police Services JPA Feasibility Study (RFP 2015-019)
Matrix Consulting Group Page 11
• Number of cases forwarded to investigative staff for follow-up as well as the
results of these cases.
• Traffic enforcement workloads and traffic enforcement activities.
• Nature and scope of crime prevention programs currently provided.
• Document how the contract ‘works’ from the perspective of generating base and
supplemental costs to each of the participating agencies.
In developing this database of information the project team would document
workloads and service levels in each jurisdiction and across jurisdictions, deployments
of staff in the jurisdiction and in surrounding areas, and costs.
Task Result: A summary of the contract and how it compares to actual service
delivery would also be developed. The project team would summarize this
information in a narrative and statistical descriptive profile. This document would
be reviewed with the project committee as well as with the Riverside Sheriff’s
Office.
Task 3 Understand Community Views About Law Enforcement Services.
It is critical for the project team to attempt to develop some input regarding
current law enforcement services as well as viable alternatives from the communities
served. To provide a major avenue for input at the outset of the project, we plan to
conduct a citizen online survey to gauge views toward current services and regional
alternatives.
We would conduct an electronic survey that could be completed by any member
of the public in all of the jurisdictions to provide additional feedback and input to the
project team regarding law enforcement services. Information regarding the perceptions
of the law enforcement services provided and the current satisfaction with these
services will provide unique insight. Attitudes toward some of the following questions
would be sought:
Document attitudes toward the types, levels and quality of law enforcement services provided.
Document attitudes toward responsiveness of RCSO personnel.
Document perceptions regarding key management issues.
Identify service gaps and new programmatic and service needs.
Questionnaires would be confidential and completed via an online survey
instrument (SurveyMonkey). This is a cost effective method to obtain community input
into the study. We would work with each jurisdiction to develop mechanisms to inform
and promote this survey to their citizens.
CITY OF SAN JACINTO, CALIFORNIA
Proposal to Conduct a Police Services JPA Feasibility Study (RFP 2015-019)
Matrix Consulting Group Page 12
Task Result: Summaries of the findings from the survey identifying major
themes, comments received and suggestions for change by agency.
Task 4 Develop Assumptions for Use in the Analysis of Alternatives.
The project team will evaluate the feasibility of consolidation of law enforcement
among contract agencies in Riverside County. The feasibility of these alternatives will
be compared, in terms of service and cost effectiveness, with the existing approaches of
independent police agencies.
The project team will review the results of the first three tasks and develop an
issues list and a set of service level objectives that can be employed as a basis for
structuring and costing JPA and other shared service alternative approaches to
providing law enforcement services. Issue areas could include:
• Field deployment levels.
• Use of civilian personnel.
• Response time targets.
• Scope of prevention and community programming.
• Level of investigative services in each jurisdiction and shared.
• How support services should be handled and the degree to which communities
could cooperatively provide some or all of these services.
• Which services best lend themselves to functional consolidation or increased
shared services?
• Which services make sense to continue to be provided through the County (e.g.,
communications or detention system facilities and systems).
• How shared service alternatives would be organized, governed and costs
allocated.
Task Result: Once these issues have been formulated, we will review them with
the project committee at a progress meeting. Based on the guidance provided by
the committee, these objectives would be adjusted as appropriate, and will
provide the basis for structuring consolidation alternatives.
CITY OF SAN JACINTO, CALIFORNIA

Matrix Consulting Group Page 13
Task 5 Conduct a Comparative Compensation Survey.
The project team would develop a comprehensive salary and benefit survey for
the participating agencies as a way to gauge comparative costs within the current
contract and to set the stage for the analysis of JPA alternatives.
Working with the project committee, as well as with human resource
representatives in the cities, we would develop a preliminary list of surveyed cities,
develop a comparative assessment tool and decide which agencies to include. We
would contact each of the agencies and obtain information on:
• Salary levels and ranges for relevant law enforcement positions.
• Fringe benefit descriptions and costs for all benefits and each fringe benefit.
• Explore the extent to which alternative benefit programs have been established
or are being evaluated (e.g., defined contribution retirement plans, ACA, etc.).
The project team would develop a comprehensive comparative document which
documents the results of the survey and implications for the JPA feasibility assessment.
Task Result: The results of the compensation survey would be reviewed with the
project committee, together an assessment of the impacts of this data on the
development of assumptions relating to the feasibility analysis.
Task 6 Identify the Resources Needed for JPA or Other Alternatives.
In this task, the project team will evaluate the feasibility of consolidating law
enforcement services or increasingly sharing services involving the participating
agencies. In developing the analysis in this task, we will explore:
• The number of full time and part time sworn staff required to handle each
function based on workloads, service level targets and geography.
– Patrol
– Investigations
– Administrative services
– Support services
– Command staffing
• The project team would analyze deployments for the participating agencies. This
is critical for contiguous agencies because of the potential to share resources in
a regional effort rather than assuming that each agency stands alone in field
services. The Matrix Consulting Group has an innovative approach to evaluating
deployments as evidenced by the sample map on the next page. Additional
information can be found on our web site at www.matrixcg.net/beats
CITY OF SAN JACINTO, CALIFORNIA
Proposal to Conduct a Police Services JPA Feasibility Study (RFP 2015-019)
Matrix Consulting Group Page 15
• What is the best use of civilians in the agency, including in core service areas
currently provided by sworn personnel (for example in the response to low
priority / risk crime and service calls).
• Opportunities to share staff and/or programs among groups of agencies. These
could include:
– Management
– Administrative services
– Emergency communications
– Investigations of major crimes
– Crime prevention
– Special services (such as SWAT, K9, accident investigations, forensics)
– Support services (such as fleet and facility maintenance)
• Opportunities to share certain infrastructure (e.g., administrative facilities,
detention facilities and/or equipment) among groups of agencies.
Alternatives explored would include organizational as well as functional
consolidation alternatives (i.e., by function).
Task Result: The product of this work task will be a detailed analysis of the
staffing and organizational needs for public safety in consolidated service
delivery alternative(s). This analysis will be reviewed with the project steering
committee.
Task 7 Identify Approaches for Organizing Law Enforcement Services to
Participating Agencies in a Joint Powers Agreement.
Once staff requirements have been determined, the project team will structure an
organizational approach for delivering police services, including both organizational and
functional consolidation. The organizational approaches would be analyzed in terms of
the following:
• How each would be structured legally – inter-local agreement or separate
authority or, if there are fewer participants, contracts for service.
• How each would be governed.
• How each would be impacted by any current or potential labor agreements.
• How each would impact other municipal services.
• The advantages and disadvantages each alternative approach.
CITY OF SAN JACINTO, CALIFORNIA
Proposal to Conduct a Police Services JPA Feasibility Study (RFP 2015-019)
Matrix Consulting Group Page 16
Task Result: The project team will develop analyses of the organizational
alternative and review these with the project committee.
Task 8 Develop Analyses of the Operating Costs for the Consolidated Police
Service Alternative.
We feel it is important to develop and evaluate the consolidated police agency
alternatives at a level of detail sufficient for the communities to pursue the choice(s) with
a level of confidence. As a result, we will structure and estimate the cost of
consolidation as follows:
• Summarize the number of line staff required, by position type; evaluate part time
staff availability and use options.
• Develop plans of administrative, command, and support staffing necessary to
support operations.
• Once the consolidated organizational structures have been defined, estimate the
competitive labor costs associated with the staffing plan. Base the analysis on
the following:
– Prepare a likely compensation schedule, by position, for the staffing plan
based on existing compensation in the three communities or in the region.
– Convert the staffing plans to estimated salary costs.
– Estimate fringe benefit costs based on competitive local benefit packages.
• Then, develop detailed operating expense budgets by cost component for the
service delivery alternative.
• Identify the ‘indirect’ costs associated with assuming a large new service such as
law enforcement. This will include such costs as vehicles, technologies, facilities,
and the provision of support services (e.g., HR, IT, etc.).
• Alternative cost allocation approaches would be identified, costed and evaluated.
• Project costs for ten (10) years and compare these costs to potential increases in

1. INTRODUCTION TO THE MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP
The Matrix Consulting Group was formed by senior consultants who created it in
order to pursue a service in which the senior people actually do the work in a low
overhead environment. Our only business focus is the provision of organization and
management analytical services to local government. Our firm’s history and composition
are summarized below:
• We were founded in 2002. However, the principals and senior staff of our firm
have worked together in this and other consulting organizations as one team for
between 10 and 30 years.
• Our only market and service focus is management, staffing and operations
analysis of local government.
• While we provide a variety of services to local government our most significant
service area is public safety. The Matrix Consulting Group project team has
conducted studies of more than 300 police and sheriff’s departments in California
and throughout the United States. This experience includes both operational
studies and alternative service delivery studies.
• Our firm maintains offices in California (where we are incorporated domestically),
Massachusetts, Illinois, Washington and Texas. We currently have 15 full-time
and 5 part-time staff.
• Our proposed project team would be led and largely staffed from our California
Headquarters office.
We are proud of our track record in providing analytical assistance to local
governments in general, and to police departments specifically. This track record is
bolstered by our rate of successful implementation, which exceeds 80% of
recommendations made.

2. REFERENCES
We are providing in this section of the proposal, references for selected analytical
projects that have been performed by the firm in the past 10 years. The RFP asks for
comprehensive reference information for all project conducted for California agencies in
the past 10 years. However, as the previous section demonstrates this is a list too long
for purposes of a proposal in addition to the fact that many referees move on to other
jobs or retire. The references provided projects include law enforcement feasibility
studies as well as police management studies.

Laguna Hills,
California
Police Services Study
2013
$50,000
Laguna Hills had received law enforcement
services from the Orange County Sheriff’s
Department since incorporation in the early
1990’s. In spite of demonstrated high service
levels and support from the community problems
surfaced – costs had escalated during the last
recession as personnel costs, especially pension
costs, rose faster than inflation; assigned
deputies were out of the City a large amount of
time, often on lower priority responses; and the
service lost a level of proactivity that is critical.
Key recommendations included changing policies
to restrict out of City responses, additional
compensation from neighboring Laguna Woods
for the provision of all late night services, and
sharing the cost of the Administrative Sergeant
with another contract city (savings of $122,000).

La Quinta, California
Police Services Study
2014
$50,000
Based in extensive public input and support to
the process this project evaluated the contract for
service from the Riverside County Sheriff’s
Office. Principal recommendations included –
modify the contract to allow the Chief the
discretion to allow patrol staffing levels to fall
below the contracted level up to 15%; the City
should work with the Sheriff’s Office and
management from gated communities to evaluate
the options available to facilitate quick entry of
police officers; Expand the regular duty hours of
the Traffic Unit to provide coverage from 0600 –
1900 or 2000 hours on weekdays but increase
their productivity; reduce the number of daily
Patrol Officer hours from 150 daily to 140 hours
daily; this results in an annual savings –
estimated at $581,965 in FY 2015-16.

Law Enforcement
Services Alternative
Study
2008
$50,000
This study provided analysis of a wide range of
alternatives for these three Contra Costa County
communities, including improvements in the exist
sheriff’s office contract, contracting with a
different external service provider – Walnut Creek
or San Ramon, consolidation and contracting
opportunities in various grouping of these three
communities and a fourth in one alternative
(Moraga). The project team’s financial analysis
supported one of the consolidation alternatives.
The communities, however, have elected to
pursue improvements in the existing sheriff’s
office contracts.

Management and
Staffing Study of the
Police Department
2010-13
$90,000
In this two-phased study the project team
recommended a redeployment of patrol
resources to better match field workloads and
proactive enforcement objectives, a beat
redesign, implementation of a differential police
response system, and ultimately an increase to
the size of the patrol force because of its inability
to come close to appropriate response time and
proactivity targets. We have just completed the
Phase 2 study which examined non-field
functions. In this portion of the project we
recommended re-funding several key internal
support functions which were eliminated during
the last recession relating to training and
administrative support; we also recommended
conversion of report transcriptionists to quality
control and completely implement field reporting.

Berkeley, California
Beat Structure Project
2014
$44,000
In this study the Matrix Consulting Group
developed a patrol redistricting plan for the
Berkeley Department. While the study developed
extensive analytics which evaluated calls for
service, major crime, total workloads and other
beat design issues, the project would not have
successfully transitioned the Department from a
30 year old 18 beat structure to a more workable
14 beat one which allows for the deployment of a
flex team without the active involvement of line
patrol personnel, management and the
community (including a citizen survey and 7 ‘town
hall’ meetings). The team created detailed maps
of beat alternatives.

Beat Redesign Project
2015
$55,000
In this just completed study the Matrix Consulting
Group developed a plan to redesign an old beat
structure now for this 450,000+ city and plan for a
growing city to be 800,000 within the next 20
years. The beat inequities were great in this old
beat structure, some beats had workloads 75%
over and under the average. Suggestions to
reassemble beats within Districts were also
made. The project team also made several
recommendations regarding shift management –
clarifying the roles of watch commanders, district
captains, shift lieutenants and sergeants. The
structure and roles of community policing units
was also addressed. These recommendations
are being implemented by the Department.

Police Department
Staffing Study
2014
$145,000
In this project Matrix worked with the outgoing
and new Chief of Police and command staff to
develop a plan for the Police Department which
addressed the needs of an effective community
policing organization in an environment in which
organizational culture transformation needed to
be supported. The study resulted in
redeployment of patrol staff, additional school
resources officers, the reorganization of
organized crime investigations and the
development of a performance management
system which supported managers while better
informing the Mayor and Commission as well as
the public.
