REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 5/6/2024 Item No.: 7.d. Department Approval City Manager Approval Item Description: Consider Approval of Rosedale Center Commercial Police Officer Agreement for 2024-2027 1 2 Background 3 The Roseville Police Department proposes to establish an agreement with the Rosedale Center to fund 4 and assign two Commercial Patrol Police Officers to Rosedale Center, located at 1595 Highway 36. This 5 arrangement aims to fulfill Rosedale's need for licensed peace officers. By providing professional 6 services to the Rosedale Center, we aim to establish a mutually beneficial framework for both the mall 7 and law enforcement to achieve shared objectives. Over the past five years, Rosedale Center and its 8 affiliated stores have generated an average of 1,843 calls per year. An estimated 5% of all Roseville 9 calls in 2023 (between the hours of 0900-2000) took place at Rosedale, significantly impacting police 10 resources. This partnership seeks to enhance safety for Rosedale's 10 million annual visitors while 11 diminishing the demand for traditional patrol officers to respond to mall-related incidents. This 12 reallocation of resources will enable us to concentrate additional attention and proactive efforts on local 13 neighborhoods and smaller businesses. 14 15 As part of the agreement, Rosedale Center has committed to constructing a police substation. Roseville 16 Officers assigned to the Commercial Patrol will operate exclusively within the mall and exterior lots 17 during their shifts and will be equipped with all necessary tools to fulfill their law enforcement duties 18 effectively. 19 20 The duties of Roseville Police Department Commercial Patrol Officers encompass the following: 21 Providing a visible presence to deter crime, ensuring a safe environment, and offering real-time 22 assistance to the mall's 10 million annual visitors. 23 Responding to all calls for service within the mall premises and its exterior areas. 24 Conducting follow-up investigations related to retail crime occurring within the mall. 25 Establishing and nurturing relationships while serving as the police department's liaison with the 26 mall's administrative staff. 27 Offering guidance and educating Rosedale's retail partners on safety and crime prevention 28 measures. 29 Collaborating with Rosedale administration to implement procedures aimed at enhancing the 30 safety and security of the building and its surroundings. 31 32 These duties and the contract have been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. 33 34 Entering into the agreement with Rosedale Center would increase RPDs authorized strength by two 35 police officers, both funded by Rosedale Center. RPD anticipates assigning two experienced officers 36 and filling the two vacant positions through an officer eligibility list. Over the three-year agreement, it is 37 our hope the dedicated retail officers will prove a valuable resource to Rosedale Center and the Page 1 of 3 Qbhf!31:!pg!494
