RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Office of the Sheriff, or designee, to accept the transfer, authorized by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES), of a Beechcraft King Air A200 fixed wing aircraft from the San Bernardino County Office of the Sheriff.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No cost to obtain the aircraft (1978 Beechcraft King Air A200 est. value $700,000). Approximately $70,000/year for operating costs, hangar rental and insurance. Maintenance costs of approximately $125.00/hour. Operating costs will be offset by projected saving of approximately $57,000 for costs associated with extradition missions.

BACKGROUND:

The San Bernardino Sheriff's Office recently purchased a new King Air aircraft and CalOES has authorized the transfer of this asset to the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff. Additionally San Bernardino County completed all required maintenance and service on the King Air A200 and it is fully certified.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This aircraft will augment the existing Sheriff's Air Support Unit. This fixed wing aircraft will enhance airborne law enforcement support capabilities. For example, it's use will improve deployment of search and rescue personnel, allow movement of detectives and other personnel to locations throughout the State for a variety of purposes including interviewing witnesses, victims and suspects, and allow for the transfer of emergency supplies where necessary. This aircraft will also allow for extradition missions (pickup of criminal from other jurisdictions for pending charges in Contra Costa County) without necessitating less secure commercial transportation, which would result in travel costs associated with extradition missions.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Negative action will result in the Sheriff's Office not obtaining this fixed-wing aircraft.
