On Friday, September 18, 2009, California State Senator John Benoit visited the City
of Banning. Senator Benoit met with Chief Purvis who was accompanied by some of
our awesome BPAL Kids and Directors. The meet-and-greet was held at the Elegant
Affair.
Also in September, BPAL teens, Nikole Gregg, Daniel Gomez, Brenden Burke and
other Banning High School students formed the new “BPAL TLC” club on campus.
BPAL TLC, which stands for “Teen Leader Club,” will extend the BPAL program to high
school students and allow them to participate in free sports and activities. 20 students
signed up for the BPAL TLC which meets at lunchtime every other Tuesday.
On Friday, September 18th, BPAL TLC held an on-campus fundraiser by selling fresh
fruit cups for $1. BPAL TLC was one of 15 clubs that participated in the “Club Rush”
event. Club Rush is held four times a year and is a way for campus clubs to promote
their clubs and raise money for youth activities. BPAL TLC raised $77 which will be
used for a future field trip.
Mrs. Tate and Ms. Riddle’s students enjoy the G.R.E.A.T. Program. Many of the
students participated in the Youth Art Café and decorated their own Starbucks cup
as an art project.
It’s Back-to-School time for the Banning Unified School District, and that means it’s going to be
another G.R.E.A.T. year for about 800 middle and elementary school students. For the fourth
consecutive year, the Banning Police Department has received federal grant funds from BJA (Bureau
of Justice Assistance) which allows the Banning Police Department to collaborate with the Banning
Unified School District and deliver the G.R.E.A.T. Program to students. The G.R.E.A.T. Middle and
Elementary School Program is designed for fourth through seventh grade students.
Detective Monte returned to Coombs Intermediate School in September and rekindled his relationship
with the incoming sixth-graders. This school year is unique, because this group of students were
Detective Monte’s G.R.E.A.T. students when they were in the fourth grade. At that time, Detective
Monte instructed them using the Elementary Curriculum, which consists of six lessons. The
Elementary School curriculum introduces students to the dangers of gangs, drugs and violence. The
Middle School curriculum consists of 13 lessons and although the objectives are the same, the level of
instruction is a bit more advanced.
The goal of G.R.E.A.T. is to help youth avoid gang membership, violence, delinquent behavior, resist
negative peer pressure, and develop a positive relationship with law enforcement. Life-skills are taught
in the classroom as students participate in small and large group discussions, brainstorming, roleplaying and other class activities. Detective Monte engages students with his personal insights
regarding the positive things they can get involved with and the pitfalls they are currently faced with.
The G.R.E.A.T. program meets students at their level and allows them to make the best decision
based on education, not feelings.
During the 13-lesson program, students learn the truth about gangs, drugs, violence, bullies, internet
safety and conflict resolution. Students enjoy the G.R.E.A.T. program as they meet the challenges of
today. The students are encouraged to be a positive part of their family, school and community. Many
of the students are already involved in positive programs such as school clubs, Boys & Girls Club,
B.P.A.L., city sports, martial arts, music, dance, arts, and other youth-centered activities.

SAN GORGONIO SPECIAL
OPERATIONS GANG TASK FORCE
Detective Brian Callahan
Graffiti located at Lyon’s Park during the month of September. During
August and September, the amount of gang graffiti has increased
dramatically due to the current hostility between the East Side Banning
Sapo’s and members of the 18th Street Latin Boyz.
On 09-03-09, two members of the East Side Banning Sapo’s
attempted to shoot two members of the 18th Street Latin Boyz in the
500 block of East Repplier Street. The 18th Street gang members
were not injured. The investigation is continuing.
On 09-08-09, members of the gang task force were called by the
Banning Police Department to assist in an attempted murder that
occurred in the 4500 block of Hillside Drive. The investigation is
ongoing and no suspects are in custody at this time.
On 09-11-09, members of the Coachella Valley Violent Crimes Gang
Task Force (Region I) assisted the gang task force by providing eight
additional officers to work in the City of Banning and Beaumont in
response to the heightened levels of hostility and confrontations
between East Side Banning Sapo and the 18th Street Latin Boyz.
On 09-25-09, members of the gang task force went to the City of
Coachella to assist with their gang suppression operation.
Approximately 60 officers were involved in the suppression which
consisted of probation/parole compliance checks and patrol
suppression. Seventeen arrests were made during the operation; 15
felony arrests and 2 misdemeanor arrests.
We are continuing to see posturing between 18th Street and Sapo’s,
which will undoubtedly result in more violence in our city and the
surrounding areas. September was the anniversary of the stabbing
death of Anthony Morales, who was stabbed by 18th street gang
members and subsequently died from his injuries during the PowWow at the Morongo Indian Reservation.

Over a four-day period, 9-21-09 to 9-24-09, night shift patrol teams held their
briefings in the Mobile Command Center at the Sun Lakes Country Club.
Briefings throughout the City give residents an opportunity to interact with our
officers and enables our department to be more visible in the community. Sun
Lakes residents enjoyed our presence and appreciated the tours they were able
to take of the Mobile Command Center.

Banning Station’s
Recycling Program
Banning Police Department’s new 2009 Chevrolet
Tahoe Hybrid is the first full-sized Hybrid SUV in
America and can operate in three ways- electric
power, engine power or both.
With an EPA rating of 14-15 MPG, the 1998
Ford Expedition was used by the department
prior to the new Tahoe Hybrid.
The Banning Police Department’s newest fleet vehicle was delivered in early September and is still
on its first tank of gas. Eventually, it will require a fill-up of gasoline, but thanks to the two-mode
Hybrid engine system, the Tahoe Hybrid is the most fuel-efficient full-sized SUV in its class. The
Tahoe Hybrid gets an EPA estimated 21 MPG/city and 22 MPG/highway. For comparison, the
Tahoe Hybrid gets the same MPG as a standard four-cylinder Toyota Camry which has an EPA
estimated 21 MPG/city.
The 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid is the first full-size SUV hybrid with a state-of-the-art hybrid
system using GM’s all-new Electrically Variable Transmission (EVT). GM’s advanced EVT is
combined with a 300-volt nickel-metal hydride Energy Storage System, which work in concert with
the standard 6.0-liter V8 Gen IV gasoline engine with Active Fuel Management and late intake valve
closing technology. The new hybrid system allows the Tahoe Hybrid to drive at up to 30 mph on
electricity alone and allows the engine to operate in its more economical V4 mode for longer
periods.
