Lisa K. Harrison Chief of Police

What the Board and Citizens Want Obstacles to What is Desired Drugs Heroin Meth Cocaine Violence Against Officers Citizens bad guy v. bad guy Property crime increases (burglary, stealing, auto theft) Persons crime increases (rape, robbery, homicide) Gangs Safe neighborhoods/ parks/ shopping areas Good businesses Low crime rates Good schools Efficient and effective spending of tax dollars Justification for Expenditure

Officers Assaulted

Leaner and easier budgeting process (1 budget, not 3) Passage of several new ordinances and agreements False alarms $ School District Federal Agencies $ Establishing triggers for automatic increases in the police force so we don’t get behind Chief’s Authority needs to be expanded: Re-organization based on operational need without changing the budget document (allot # of employees per category, let Chief place them as needed) Promotions, transfers, Suspensions, etc. ZERO Cost Initiatives (some revenue generating)

IT needs-With the Board’s prior blessing on 4/28/12 and thankfully with Director Hillin’s savings from other competitive bids the IT needs are mostly being covered including: Vehicle Computers and Rack Accessories Officer Cameras (replace dashboard cameras) Interview Room Video and Audio System Security ID System Upgrade – Elliott Data Evidence Bar Code Scanner/Reader/label printer Trunk repairs-$2K 2 Patrol Rifles (cut last year) $1100 ea + $300 ea rack PERSONNEL!!!! -training time 6-9 months from posting (new officer) -saving the best for last Improvements Recommended- Immediate (one time costs)

New or replacement officer uniform/equipment allocation must be increased (currently ZERO as it is absorbed in replacement cost, must be allotted at $10k) Officer uniform/equipment replacement costs must be increased (from $575 ea to $800) Building/grounds maintenance fund increase (building is a money pit) 4 wheel drive vehicles- have no vehicles to patrol in snow or in the construction areas (parks) (price depends on state contract) Molded back seats $2K and safer cages $2k- will prevent lawsuits and keep officers safer Return to Motorcycle trade in program Restraint Chair $1500 Master Comm’s must replace ($325 ea. Need 10) Patrol Rifles- 2 per year ($1100 ea) with rack ($300 ea) Shot gun racks $300 ea (need 15) Radios (new county system walkies- $5K ea. In car $8k ea)-most included I the upgrade Tasers (company phasing out old, must replace due to no repairs for old ones) $900 ea K-9 Unit ($35K to start $20K maintenance thereafter) Move to Caprice from Impala-initial cost is slightly more, maintenance much less MoPCA Certification ($5k) Improvements Recommended- to be included in budgeting process

Liability reduction through creating a professional standards unit to prevent negligent hiring, training, retention. Proper handling of internal investigations (training, grants, IA, PIO, future accreditation, off duty assignments, community relations, Field Training) Liability reduction by adding first line supervision and reducing mid-level management SEVEN officers scheduled on patrol at a given time with a minimum manpower of FOUR 143 neighborhoods 566 businesses 168 miles of streets 30,000 residents Rising crime stats RED LIGHT CAMERA PHASE OUT- accidents will increase Assistance with Administration with addition of a command officer Why do we need more officers?
