I am very proud of the members of the Davis Police

Department and the reputation they have earned for

contributing to the vibrancy and the quality of life that our

community enjoys. Our continuing commitment to the

delivery of professional, responsive, and fair police services

is our pledge as part of the entire City of Davis government

team's mission to provide sustainable neighborhoods and community.

Further, ours is a commitment to ensuring that everyone with a stake in keeping Davis

a safe and livable city has a voice in the process; both in the way we do business as

well as how we develop and grow as a department. We are always available to answer

your questions and address your concerns. If you have a compliment on something

you feel we did well, a complaint about something you don't think we did well, or a

suggestion regarding a service you'd like to see added or changed, please let us know.

Landy Black was sworn in as City of Davis Chief of Police on April 9, 2007

Under Chief Black’s direction during 2010, we:

Reorganized the Patrol and Investigations Divisions of Police Department.

Created better patrol coverage during periods of greater priority call demand.

Improved the supervision model and facilitated succession planning.

Created the Police Corporal rank and teamed Corporals with Sergeants for

cohesive supervisory teams.

Allowed for restoration of the Professional Standards Unit.

Facilitates maintaining professional best practices in law enforcement.

Bolsters high quality training and hiring.

Realigns citizen complaint investigations back to a high priority, where they

belong.

Installed an upgraded 9-1-1 system.

Replaced aging technologies with current/state-of-the-art.

Allows Davis PD Dispatch Center to directly handle many cellular 9-1-1 calls

placed from within our jurisdiction, rather than continue with the delays of

going through and transferring from CHP dispatch.

Workload Comparison


Sergeant John Wilson selected by his peers to be Officer of the Year for 2010. The Officer of the Year is traditionally selected amongst those officers who demonstrate exceptional performance throughout the awarded year and exemplify the Department’s policing philosophy. Sergeant Wilson’s nomination focused on his commitment and dedication to serving the youth of Davis.

Every couple of years Sergeant Wilson works with high school students and faculty groups to organize the ―Every 15 Minutes Program‖ at Davis Senior High School. It is a huge undertaking to organize this event and it requires he and the students work with the police department and various other community stakeholders. The event goes off like clockwork each time. It’s not just the effort involved, but the meaning behind bringing this event to the high school. The intent is to prevent another teenager from becoming a victim of a drunken driving accident/fatality. This year the event was very powerful and, even months after the assembly, teens were heard talking about the speaker, how great he was, and how the program impacted their lives. Additionally, for decades Sergeant Wilson has been instrumental in the on-going efforts to bring bike rodeos to the elementary school students. The rodeos are always well organized and executed. It is impressive how Sergeant Wilson interacts with the young students. His enthusiasm and love for the students is evident. He truly enjoys being around them and they easily gravitate towards him. Another vital area that Sergeant Wilson has never given up on is reducing truancy, which has been a complex problem in Davis. Sergeant Wilson has always participated in strategic problem solving for the issue. In recent years, Sergeant Wilson became very involved in the beginning stages of researching an altogether different approach from the Student Attendance Review Board, which had been tried in the past and failed. The new truancy reduction program, which Sergeant Wilson was instrumental in developing, is now successfully addressing the issues of truancy. Sergeant Wilson’s early efforts and input into developing the program have not gone unnoticed. Much of his work with the schools and students flies ―under the radar.‖ Sergeant Wilson never solicits recognition for the good that he does. He truly does have a gift when it comes to working with students and it is evident to anyone who has worked with him that his youth focused projects are truly making a difference in this community.

Officer of the Year


Public Safety Dispatcher Robyn Carter was selected by her peers to be Dispatcher of the Year for 2010. Robyn has only been a dispatcher for two years, but she has worked some of our craziest incidents in such a short time. Robyn is a great example of a "rookie" employee who developed "tenured" skills early in her career. Following is a small sample of incidents she has worked: A 211 Bank Robbery with a suspect arrested at the scene—Robyn was the

dispatcher. It was her first Bank Robbery incident and to have it result in an immediate arrest at the scene is a rarity.

Rape by taser—Robyn was the calltaker for this call and spoke to a very

traumatized victim. Robyn didn't miss a beat, was empathetic but direct, and worked the call to its fullest to get the best description of what was happening and who the suspect was.

Possible active shooter—Robyn was the calltaker when the family received reports

of their armed distraught son who wanted to commit suicide by cop. Robyn gathered the initial information and stayed with the family until officers arrived.

Robyn has learned a lot from each experience. She critiques herself and sometimes this is the best way to help refine skills. She is harder on herself than anyone. Robyn continues to learn and you can't ask for anything more as a supervisor.

Robyn is an easy going partner who gets along with everyone. She is a flexible and adaptable employee which is why she is a highly desirable person to work with. Her Night Shift Sergeant nicknamed her "Junior" - for mirroring the skills of her trainer. Night shift dispatchers and officers were very sad to see her leave nights for dayshift. Chief Black said that her selection was not a surprise and he was happy to endorse her selection. He noted that Robyn is an uplifting person to work with and around—inspiring enthusiasm in her co-workers and a feeling of well-being and relief for those traumatized by crime whom she deals with on the 9-1-1 lines.

Sergeant Ton Phan was acknowledged for receiving the 2009 MADD (Mother’s Against Drunk Driving) Award. Sergeant Phan worked diligently to develop the OTS AVOID program in Yolo County and maintained it for four years. Detective Steve Ramos received a Distinguished Service Medal which is awarded to employees who distinguish themselves by performing exceptional service. Detective Ramos not only prevented a person from committing suicide, but also prevented what could have been a fatal confrontation between the suspect and Sacramento Sheriff’s Deputies. Youth Intervention Specialist Trease Petersen received a Distinguished Service Medal for bringing the MADD Youth Visitation Program into the Yolo Juvenile Court, furthering the goals of the Truancy Program, organizing various youth education outreaches, and for working to create a Youth Mentorship program with our officers and students at risk. Dispatcher Karisa Contreras received a Meritorious Achievement Ribbon which is awarded for a noteworthy achievement. Due to the quick thinking of Dispatcher Karisa Contreras, during a stressful and rapidly evolving situation involving the potential loss of human life, the suspect is alive today. Officer Jesse Dacanay received a Bill D. Bartholomew Community Policing Ribbon for Outstanding Work in Community Policing and Problem Solving by developing an outreach bicycling program for the teens of Davis. Officer Pete Faeth received a Bill D. Bartholomew Community Policing Ribbon for his work as a Bike Officer and establishing a mobile police presence downtown that enforces traffic laws and deters crime. He also served as a liaison with downtown businesses and community, tackling issues such as vandalism, drug and alcohol use and dealing with the transient/homeless population in Davis. School Resource Officer Dan La Fond received a Bill D. Bartholomew Community Policing Ribbon for his work with school staff regarding truancy, at-risk students and campus issues which helped make the campus that much safer. Dan’s outreach efforts began as simple contacts with students on campus during breaks or during class visits. It evolved into various activities such as open gym, a soccer camp, a skateboard competition and the All Style Dance Competition. Officer Roxanne Owens received the Purple Heart due to a serious injury she suffered at the hands of a suspect while acting in the course of duty. Sergeant Scott Smith received the first Vic Mentink Distinguished Career Medal Scott Smith started working at the Davis Police Department on January 10, 1982 . He promoted to Police Sergeant in 1990. Scott's accomplishments during his career truly stand out.

Outstanding Work Recognized on June 2, 2010


Peace Officer of the Year — Thong Hy Huynh Award Recipient Winner: School Resource Officer Daniel La Fond Officer La Fond was the driving force behind many youth oriented events during 2009/10. He initiated open gym days for basketball and soccer during school vacations. He also partnered with businesses and organizations in Davis to sponsor a skateboard competition during the summer. He organized the All Styles High School Dance Competition in December by partnering with the Community Services Department and the Davis Police Department. This event brought participants and audience members from all over the Sacramento region. He used youth volunteers (some of them at-risk), from the high school to assist in making this event a huge success. The competition was a great outreach opportunity for us to provide youth in the community, who are often missed when it comes to traditional recreational activities, an outlet to showcase their skills. It earned recognition from the California Parks and Recreation Society for excellence in the Recreation and Community Program category. In addition to all he does at the schools to keep the campuses safe, Officer La Fond coaches youth baseball and basketball in his spare time. His dedication to the youth of this community and his concern for those kids who might fall through the cracks is obvious. He is not afraid to put himself ―out there‖ if it benefits kids and he will try anything to attract youth in positive ways. History of the Award

The Thong Hy Huynh Awards are named after Davis High School student Thong Hy Huynh, who was killed in 1983 in a racially-motivated stabbing while on campus. Every year, the city’s Human Relations Commission recommends recipients for the awards based on nominations from the community. Recipients in six categories are selected to receive Thong Hy Huynh awards recognizing significant contributions in addressing, improving and/or resolving civil and human rights issues in the city of Davis. The winners of the Thong Hy Huynh Awards are listed on the City’s Perpetual Plaque, which is kept in Community Chambers.

Patrol Division

Patrol is the backbone of the Davis Police Department. They respond to everything from burglaries in progress to noisy animals, family disturbances to traffic collisions. The Division is lead by Captain Darren Pytel. And during 2010 it consisted of 2 Lieutenants, 5 Sergeants, 28 Sworn Officers, 5 Reserve Police Officers, 3 Civilian Police Service Specialists, and 2 Community Services Officers. The Patrol Division utilizes five shifts of 3/12 and 4/10 work schedules to maximize a team policing effort. The Patrol Division handles an average of 4,600 calls for service per month including officer initiated activities. These include calls related to criminal investigations, traffic collisions and suspicious circumstances, domestic violence cases, driving under the influence of alcohol, alarms at residential and commercial buildings, medical aid calls and calls to assist other allied agencies such as the UC Davis Police Department. Officer initiated activity is also an important aspect of the Patrol Division function which includes traffic enforcement, parking enforcement, crime suppression and directed patrol of neighborhoods, apartments and business areas. In addition to routine patrol, officers work bicycle patrol in downtown Davis. Our Police Service Specialists assist Patrol Officers by taking cold crime and incident reports, towing vehicles, crime prevention, evidence collection, traffic control and other administrative details. The department had two Community Services Officers: one responsible for abandoned vehicles (eliminated during 2010 due to budget constraints) and one for fleet maintenance. You can view our Crimemapper web page at cityofdavis.org/police/crimemap.cfm for more information about the crimes occurring in your neighborhood. See our city map above to view our four beat configuration. If you would like to contact your beat officer, please visit our beat officer page at cityofdavis.org/police/patrol/contact.cfm We are committed to provide the best possible service to the citizens of Davis and are always looking for ways to improve our services. If you have suggestions, please feel free to write us at [email protected] or at 2600 Fifth Street, Davis, CA 95618.

The mission of the Davis Police Department’s Traffic Unit is to maintain and improve the safety of all pedestrians, bicyclist and motorists who utilize the roadways, sidewalks and bike paths in the City of Davis.

We achieve this through:

Partnership with the community.

Involvement in engineering, education and enforcement of all traffic related laws.

We maintain a parking infrastructure that allows for people to park as safely and efficiently as possible.

Through fair and consistent enforcement of parking rules and regulations, we ensure parking availability is increased in order to encourage visitors and patrons to enjoy the City of Davis.

Our Traffic Unit coordinated the Yolo County Avoid the 8 DUI Campaign and continuing intensive efforts to crackdown on impaired driving.

This year the Motors Unit transitioned to the Honda ST1300 P motorcycle from

the Harley Davidson Road King.

Traffic Unit Mission Statement


DUI Arrests by Year The aggregate data shows that DUI arrests reached their peak in 2008 and have decreased by roughly 55% since that time. This chart demonstrates that 2008 was an anomalous year for DUI arrests when compared to 2007, 2009, and 2010. Perhaps most noticeable is the sharp decline (↓52%) in DUI arrests in 2009. DUI arrests remained relatively steady in 2010, but failed to rise to the level observed in 2007. DUI Arrests by Day of Week With respect to arrests by day of week, the data is overwhelming consistent. Over time the data shows that arrests are always highest on Saturdays and tend to be very low on Mondays. There is a predictable shape to the graph overall, which shows a noticeable dip between Mondays and Wednesdays, in addition to a heavy left skew. For the most recent calendar year (2010), the data shows that arrests were higher on Thursdays. Of course, the endogeneity issue of staffing must be considered with respect to this data. While there is likely a higher population of potential offenders driving around between Thursdays and Saturdays, there may also be more Officers available to enforce DUI arrests between those days than during the rest of the week.

The Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT) is a multi-jurisdictional team comprised of Davis and West Sacramento police officers. The team is a part-time team, which means that their membership on the team is a collateral assignment, which is in addition to their primary duties, including patrol, investigations, or other specialized assignments. Currently, the Davis Police Department has nine members assigned to the team and one lieutenant who is the tactical commander; West Sacramento has devoted eight officers to the team. Being a member of the team requires hours of skills training in order to stay proficient in the tactical environment. In order to maintain these perishable skills, the team trains twenty hours a month, covering numerous disciplines, including building searches, hostage rescue, high risk warrant services, dignitary protection, and working collaboratively with other special disciplines such as Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) and Hostage Negotiations (HNT). During the year 2010, the SWAT team, which is one half of ALERT (Area Law Enforcement Response Team) for Yolo County, was activated 14 times. Of those 14 deployments, 10 were high risk search/arrest warrants involving violent felons. In addition, two were for barricaded and possibly armed suspects inside a residence while the last two were to assist with crowd control at large scale events. Of the twelve deployments involving violent felons or potential crimes in progress, the SWAT team assisted with taking thirteen suspects into custody, including a homicide suspect, an attempted homicide suspect, and a high ranking member of a Northern California prison gang.

Sergeant Frank Tenedora was assigned to reestablish a Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving Unit in March 2009. COPPS is a philosophy by which we conduct business and serve the City of Davis. It promotes having a strong sense of beat responsibility, problem solving, and working together with the community. Employees assigned to the COPPS Unit are a Sergeant, Crime Analyst, Crime Prevention/Volunteer Specialist, Youth Intervention Specialist, School Resource Officer, one full time and one part time Bike Officer, 25 Volunteers in Policing, and 20 Police Cadets. Besides working with the community to problem solve concerns, some of the outreach and public education programs the unit has initiated include a youth dance competition, soccer and batting events, drug and alcohol test kits, parent presentations, open gym, skating competition, pack the patrol car with school supplies, mountain biking for youth, crime prevention fliers, neighborhood watch programs, organizing youth mentorship programs, and work with the homeless population. Crime Prevention Specialist Michele Reynolds educated community members through Crime Alert campaigns to make citizens aware of crime prevention tactics in view of increasing residential burglaries. Following is an example of a crime alert distributed to the media, Neighborhood Watch groups, and posting in various apartment complexes and public places.

Community Oriented Policing & Problem Solving

CITY OF DAVIS POLICE DEPARTMENT

Date: August 12, 2010

Crime Alert

Residential Burglaries Over the past month we have seen an increase in residential burglaries in the City of Da-vis and there have been 33 reported incidents of residential burglaries throughout Davis in the past month. The area getting hit the hardest is Beat 1 (West Davis, starting west of Oak Avenue). Please see map below for areas getting hit. Suspect(s) are gaining entry through locked and unlocked patio and front doors and win-dows. Stolen items include jewelry, money, gaming systems, laptop computers, but the biggest item being stolen is prescription medication (mostly pain medications). These burglaries are happening during the day for the most part, while people are away from their home, as well as early evening and very early morning hours. We need all residents

of Davis on alert for suspicious people in your neighborhoods.


Report suspicious activity such as persons walking or driving up and down your street (might look like salesmen), checking for unlocked doors and/or looking in windows, backyards or vehicles. Vehicles “cruising” your neighborhood at very slow speeds or sitting in a vehicle for extended periods can also be signs of suspicious activity. Remember to always go with your “gut feeling”, if something does not feel or look right, it probably isn’t. Give as much descrip-tion of the person and any related vehicles to that person that you can to the dispatcher.

BE ALERT, BE AWARE, and be prepared to BE A GOOD WITNESS. CALL 911 from your home phone or 530-758-3600 from your cellular phone to report suspicious activities!!

If you’re going to be out of town for extended periods of time, please have a friend or family member check on your residence while you’re away. Leave interior/exterior lights on timers so your house looks occupied at night. Fill out a Vacation House Check form with the Davis Police Department, so we can provide extra patrol. You can find the Vacation House Check information and forms on-line at http://cityofdavis.org/police/forms/index.cfm.

Keep your doors and windows and side yard gates locked when you are away from home. Suspect(s) are utilizing the nice weather to gain entry into open windows and sliders.

Mark your valuables! As a last line of defense. We suggest inscribing/engraving a “personal identifier” on all valuables by using your driver’s license number. Record all serial numbers of all personal electronics, computers, cameras, gaming systems and any items of value and keep in a safe place, this can aid in recovery of property if found.

The red and blue dots indicate location of residential burglaries. Of the 33 break-in’s 8 of them had prescription medication taken. Our patrol officers are doing extra patrols in the hardest hit area. Please report any suspicious activity while it’s happening. Any questions, please contact Michele Reynolds at the Davis Police Department, 530-747-5411 or email [email protected].

On April 30, 2010, we held our annual Volunteer and Cadet awards and recognition dinner. The volunteers and cadets had put in a total of 2,764 hours of volunteer time for 2009. We rely on the volunteers greatly with day to day operations, as well as all major events. These individuals perform a valuable service to our community and we appreciate them. Volunteers provide many intangible benefits, sometimes making it difficult to always quantify a value of a program. Here at the Davis PD we don’t have that problem, we understand just how valuable the VIPs/Cadet programs really are. For 2009 the VIPs program put in 1817 hours of service and the cadet program 947 hours. Calculating an hourly value set for the state of California at $23.29 per hour, that calculates to $64,373.56. Not to mention $36,884 in parking fines and 348 vacation home checks, that’s almost 1 a day!!

Our Volunteer of the Year 2009 was awarded to Dottie Fenner.

Our Cadet of the Year 2009 was awarded to Jeff Boyce.

Both of these individual went over and beyond their regular duties to provide amazing service to the programs. We at the PD thank them for their dedication!!

During the year patrol officers organized several ―bike

rodeos‖ targeting Third and Fourth graders at Davis

Elementary schools. Officers preceded the rodeo with

a visit to the classroom, where they talked to students

about bicycle safety, including how to wear helmets,

obeying rules of the road, and riding defensively.

Several days later, students participated in the ―rodeo‖

where they rode their bikes on the playground through

an educational course set up by officers and designed

to teach riding skills such as signaling, avoiding

hazards, changing lanes safely, and developing the

ability to balance on the bike.

Bike Rodeos


radKIDS

RAD—Rape, Aggression, Defense for Women

The Rape Aggression Defense System is a program of realistic

self-defense tactics and techniques. The RAD program is a

comprehensive course for women that begins with awareness,

prevention risk reduction and avoidance, while progressing on

to the basics of hands-on defense training.

Throughout 2010, we provided four basic five-week sessions

for women and one advanced session. Davis Police

Department RAD courses are taught by our nationally certified

RAD Instructors: Colleen Turay, Debra Doroshov, Nadine

Sellers, Lorelee Cox and Edward Ellsworth.

The radKIDS Program provides children with hope, options, and practical

skills to RECOGNIZE, AVOID, and, if necessary, ESCAPE violence and

abuse. Certified Davis PD instructors, Sergeant Tenedora and Officer

Penrose taught two different session over the summer. There was a total

of four classes with approximately 25 kids ages 5—12 years in each.


The Investigations Unit does the following to help accomplish the mission of the Davis Police Department:

Review and investigate complex cases reported to the Davis Police Department.

Analyze investigations into identified crime trends which require special tactics and resources detectives can provide.

Work with the Yolo County District Attorney's Office to provide additional fact finding on criminal cases submitted by the Davis Police Department in order to prepare those matters for prosecution and resolve issues which may arise during the judicial process.

In 2010, 482 reports were referred to and handled by the Investigation Division. The following is a list of highlight cases solved by our detectives: EXTORTION FOLLOWING AN APARTMENT BURGLARY: On 1-20-10, The victim reported his house was burglarized and his computer was stolen. Several days after filing the burglary report the victim was approached by his roommates, Volodya and Harutyun Ghuskasyan. The roommates claimed they were the ones who stole the victim’s property and he would have to pay money to get his computer back. Officers set up a sting operation with the victim’s cooperation. The victim negotiated the return of his property in exchange for money. Voldya and Harutyun were arrested as they arrived to meet the victim and collect their cash. The suspects were in possession of the stolen items at the time of arrest. TARGET PHARMACY FRAUD: Patrol officers responded to multiple calls at the Target Pharmacy in Davis. The pharmacist reported multiple cases of prescription fraud perpetrated by the same individuals who used a local doctor's DEA number to procure prescription pain medication. Detectives conducted a month long investigation into these frauds and arrested Harmony Hendricks and Ernie Ortega of Woodland. TARGET ID THEFTS: In the summer of 2010 the community was impacted by a series of identity thefts. The suspects used credit and debit accounts stolen from Davis victims to purchase gift cards from Target Stores in Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area. Over a hundred thousand dollars funneled out of various accounts in this case through fraudulent charges against victims' credit card accounts. Detectives identified two suspects, served multiple search warrants in the East San Francisco Bay Area, and arrested Michael Tucker and Muntu WIlliams. This case was picked up by the US Attorney's Office and is currently being tried federal court. HOME INVASION ROBBERY AT on ANDERSON RD: On 5-31-2010, a resident on Anderson Road was robbed at gunpoint by several suspects. The suspects forced

entry through the front door and were armed with a handgun. They fled with multiple laptops and other electronic items. After an extensive investigation, detectives identified three suspects out of Richmond California and one UCD Student. Fernando Ochoa, Jesus Cruz, Joseph Hernandez, and Jose Elenes were subsequently arrested. Fernando Ochoa has pled guilty while the other three are still pending trial. HOME INVASION ROBBERY ON OLIVE DRIVE: On 9-4-10 two suspects burst into an apartment on Olive Drive which was occupied by the resident and several of his friends including Nicholas Crew. One of the suspects was wielding a machete. The suspects robbed the resident and fled with 800 dollars. The two suspects were never identified, but Nicholas Crew was arrested subsequent to an intensive investigation. The evidence suggested that Nicholas Crew helped plan this robbery and later pretended to be just one of the victims when the event took place. TESTERMAN: Detectives investigated allegations of a Davis Resident perpetrating lewd sexual acts against his own daughters. Carl Testerman, a father and high school teacher for the Travis School District, was accused of having sexual relations with his two teenage daughters. Following an intensive investigation, Testerman was arrested and convicted. CARETAKER COMMITS FINANCIAL ELDER ABUSE: On 8-3-2010 Davis Police Officers took a report of credit card fraud. The victims were a Davis couple in their late 80s. The investigation revealed their hired caretaker had stolen one of their credit cards and charged close to 9,000 dollars of merchandise. Detectives served a search warrant in Elk Grove and arrested Gennetta Balance on elder abuse and fraud charges. MARLO COMPTON: A woman named Marlo Compton befriended a Davis man named Richard Morrissey III who had two elderly parents living in Davis. Over a period of several years Marlo and Richard convinced the parents to contribute over one million dollars to Richard's education and healthcare. Marlo and Richard told his parents he was very sick and needed money for treatment. They also claimed that Richard needed money to complete a graduate degree in Michigan. The stories regarding Richard’s education and health care needs were later found to be lies. Marlo used the money to purchase a large home in Michigan and live a lavish lifestyle while financially devastating the Davis couple. Detectives conducted a thorough investigation into allegations of financial elder abuse. Davis Officers travelled to Michigan, served a search warrant on Compton's house, and arrested Compton on multiple felony charges.

The Investigations Division also:

Updated recording technology in interview/interrogation rooms.

Continued proactive tracking of sex registrants residing in Davis who may be high risk offenders.

Law Enforcement agencies report Part 1 Crime annually to the State and to the

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Traditional Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)

focuses on eight ―Index Crimes,‖ known also as Part 1 crimes. The UCR system

includes crimes that are most likely to be reported to the police and to occur with

sufficient frequency to provide an adequate basis for comparison.

This count is not a unique count of arrests (ex: if a juvenile was arrested for 10851 and 242, it was recorded in the table as 2 separate arrests). The total number of juvenile arrests for each year, without double counting particular offenses are: (8/06-7/07): 190; (8/07-7/08): 172; (8/08-7/09): 138; (8/09-7/10): 126. The total number of unique persons (juveniles) arrested for each year are: (8/06-7/07): 156; (8/07-7/08): 145; (8/08-7/09): 114; (8/09-7/10): 100.

Taken from Crime Analyst Machado’s report on Comparative Assessment of Juvenile Arrests

Comparative Assessment of Juvenile Arrests


Recidivism: Recidivism in this report is used in standard context by identifying juvenile offenders with a criminal history known to DPD. More specifically, a juvenile is considered a recidivist offender for 2009-2010 if said juvenile: o Has offended more than once during 2009-2010 or, o Has offended once in 2009-2010 and once or more during the prior year, 2008-2009. o Was arrested for at least one (or more) of the following: violent/alcohol/drug related crimes, 459, 10851, 488, 594, 490.5(A). Employing the aforementioned conditions, the data demonstrates that the 2009-2010 juvenile recidivism rate was 27%. Compared to the 2008-2009 rate of 18% and the 2007-2008 rate of 17%, the data suggests that juvenile recidivism has risen over time even though arrests of juveniles in general has appeared to decrease. Residents vs. Non-Residents: Exactly how many of our juvenile offenders are coming from places other than Davis? The data demonstrates that: o In 2006-2007, 28% (N=43) of juveniles arrested did not live in Davis. o In 2007-2008, 32% (N=35) of juveniles arrested did not live in Davis. o In 2008-2009, 25% (N=28) of juveniles arrested did not live in Davis. o In 2009-2010, 17% (N=17) of juveniles arrested did not live in Davis. Group Crime: A plethora of research demonstrates that human beings, particularly juveniles, are greatly influenced by social networks. Specifically, studies on ―group mentality‖ or ―mob mentality‖ suggest that individuals are more likely to engage in risky or criminal behavior if there are others willing to do the same. For this reason, the group crime5 statistic was pulled with the following results: o In 2006-2007, 28% (N=39) of cases included the arrest of two or more juveniles. o In 2007-2008, 19% (N=26) of cases included the arrest of two or more juveniles. o In 2008-2009, 18% (N=17) of cases included the arrest of two or more juveniles. o In 2009-2010, 14% (N=15) of cases included the arrest of two or more juveniles.

Our restored Professional Standards Unit facilitates maintaining professional, best practices in law enforcement, bolsters high quality training and hiring, and realigns citizen complaint investigations back to a high priority, where they belong. All police academies and departments in California fall under the Police Officer’s Standards and Training guidelines. About ten years ago POST responded to the perception of racial profiling and now mandates training on a cycle of every couple of years. Learning domains deal specifically with Racial Profiling, Diversity, Ethics, Interpersonal Communications, Law Enforcement and Homelessness, Awareness of Persons with Disabilities, Crisis Intervention, Mental Health Problems, etc. There are 42 learning domains in the academy. Each police instructor (including weapons and defensive tactics instructors) must go through training to incorporate these topics into their specific subject areas. Besides all mandated in-house training, our staff received the external training listed on the next page. We developed a succession plan to include: an annual promotional academy for all employees interested in promoting to a supervisory position; an annual leadership academy for line level employees who wish to develop leadership, mentoring, and coaching skills; and specialized training for supervisors on how to mentor/coach/develop employees they supervise. We also developed an internal survey instrument to better gauge employees’ thoughts and feelings towards the working environment.

Professional Standards and Training

The mission of the Davis Police Department is to attain

the highest quality of life and security for all who live,

work, learn, and visit in the City of Davis.

The 2009-11 Strategic Plan was created in 2008 from input gathered at six meetings with the community: two based on the current police beat system, one with the business community, one with the Davis Joint Unified School District faculty and staff, one with the UC Davis student government, and one internal to the Department. Our goal was to collect data on what were the public safety concerns facing our community. Using a modified nominal group technique, the solicited issues were prioritized by the participants.

Some of the issues we heard from the community were a continuation of those expressed in our 2004 outreach efforts. However, it was clear our problem solving during the 2005-2008 Strategic Planning period had an impact according to what we heard during these new community meetings. Many of the prior concerns were not even mentioned. On the other hand, while traffic worries still topped the list, youth issues (which we heard almost nothing about in 2004) were now frequently mentioned.

Planning allows an organization to concentrate its attention and resources on the most important issues. The problems brought out of these meetings were grouped into six broad categories:

1. Leadership and Ethics

2. Youth Issues

3. Technology

4. Crime Reduction

5. Traffic Safety

6. Public Education

We then created goal statements for each of the broad categories. Using the goal statements as a guide, each unit supervisor and manager facilitated one or more meetings within their unit with line employees to develop the specific strategies for accomplishing each goal statement, while focusing on the problem issues brought out by the community. All of the strategies developed at the line level were collated and, when possible, redundancy was eliminated. The strategies were then assigned to a unit manager for oversight/implementation. The unit manager then set down the timeline for completion of the strategy.

Our complete strategic plan, along with a status report, is posted on our website at:

Chief Black notes that through this collaborative effort, ―We at the Davis PD are able to know that the public safety and quality of life battles we fight in the interest of our citizens is fashioned by their needs, and not our own. Chiefs of Police who are able to gather this sort of intelligent and considerate cooperation from the communities for which they are responsible for are particularly blessed.‖

The Community Advisory Board, in conjunction with the City’s Police Ombudsman and Police Advisory Committee, serves to enhance Police/community dialog and facilitates transparency of Police policy, procedure and operations. It is instrumental in building community trust in its Police Department. The CAB Mission Statement is ―Using two way communications, improve relationships between the public and the police. To actively represent the community by articulating, advising and tracking community and police issues.‖ Community Advisory Board Members meet with Police administration on the second Wednesday of every month.
