Lee SUBJECT: Kent Police Department 2014 Annual Report DATE: February 9, 2015 On behalf of the members of the Kent Police Department, I am pleased to present you with the 2014 Annual Report. This report is intended to provide the Kent community with a greater insight of the programs, activities and accomplishments of their police department. The report also summarizes the crime and accident trends for Kent as well as clearance rates. Similar to year 2013, our department experienced significant fluctuations in staffing making it difficult for concerted and proactive efforts in crime prevention initiatives. Minimum staffing levels in all divisions hampered traditional patrol techniques and some community policing efforts. Progress in hiring and staff training was evident in the latter part of the year and should continue well into 2015. In spite of our staffing woes, we realized positive outcomes in many statistical related categories. There was a reduction in total vehicular accident complaints from last year and the lowest in four years. There was also increases in our calls for service, total arrests, traffic citations and parking tickets. Evaluating our 10 year crime index indicates a significant increase in reported assaults, a significant decrease (lowest in 10 years) in burglaries and the highest crime clearance rate in 10 years. It is difficult to predict or find causal factors for many statistical data fluctuations but the changing downtown climate, Kent State University collaborations and dedicated personnel addressing the issues surely have an influence. We continued to see improved relations with the Kent community in 2014. We held another successful Citizen Police Academy, were involved in numerous town/gown initiatives and experienced more community participation in groups such as our Safety Advisory Committee and KPCA (Kent Police Citizen Association) fundraisers. As many cities and departments across the nation experienced civil unrest based upon police mistrust and race related issues, we continued to work hard and proactively to build trust and cooperation with all community members. It is our mission to serve the Kent community with respect and dignity while providing the highest level of service possible. Respectfully submitted, Michelle A. Lee Chief of Police

Accomplishments WEBSITE The site is meant to assist the community in providing police department contact information, to answer “Frequently asked Questions” and present public relations materials. The site is informative, educational and an easy portal between the community and police department. Throughout the year we added new features/services for the community to utilize:

1. This year we added a new tab to our website, “New Police Building”. We are keeping the community current with progress in the design, development and construction of the new police building.

2. Also added was information and a downloadable form for Party Registrations.

3. An “Internships” tab was added for interested students to gain information on this program offered once again, after a lengthy hiatus, for criminal justice students.

K.P.C.A.

The KPCA is a non-profit organization whose mission is to enrich the Kent area community through police support. Over $1500.00 was given to various sports teams, organizations and other fund raising events throughout the year to benefit the Kent community. Annually, a scholarship of $500.00 is awarded to a deserving RHS graduating senior who is

involved in their community. KPCA, in partnership with Walgreen’s, conducted a prosperous “Fill-A-Cruiser” program to benefit local needy families. Multiple families and children were provided gifts and food. KPCA also sponsored “Bowl against Abuse” through the Children’s Advocacy Center. . PRESENTATIONS, DISCUSSION AND DEMONSTRATIONS The department is active in seeking out opportunities to interact with many community groups on a variety of topics, below are a few examples:

We were awarded a new 2014 vehicle from the Portage County Drug Task Force. Newer vehicles were purchased for each representative and participating department. The vehicles were purchased and awarded from forfeited funds and property throughout the year. We were awarded a JAG-LE competitive grant for $6,750.00. The funding was awarded to increase foot and bicycle patrols in our downtown. Crisis Intervention Team – The Mental Health and Recovery Board recognized two police employees this year. Patrolman Matthew Butcher received the CIT (Crisis Intervention Team) “Officer of the Year” award for utilizing his CIT training during mental health crises and making a difference. Jeffry Langstaff was also recognized by the MHRB by being awarded the first “Exemplary CIT Professional”. Langstaff, a licensed independent chemical dependency counselor and clinical supervisor, works with juveniles who are in trouble and their families. He has been the juvenile counselor at KPD since 1978. Mr. Langstaff has been a member of the Mental Health & Recovery Board of

Portage County for the past 7 years. He has provided direction on planning addiction disorder treatment, support and recovery as well as for mental health services. Party Registration Program A party registration program has been discussed and evaluated for several years during town/gown discussions with Kent State University Officials. This year we were able to provide this program where party hosts and attendees have the opportunity to receive a telephone warning in the case of excessive noise or other nuisance activities. Dispatch Augmented Duties Dispatchers were trained to provide dispatch aided CPR. When someone calls for an ambulance they have been trained to ask specific questions to determine if the situation warrants additional instructional help while the paramedics are on their way. Kent Dispatch now provides services to the Village of Brady Lake for Fire and EMS since Brady Lake Village disbanded their fire department.

Programs

NORTHERN OHIO VIOLENT FUGITIVE TASK FORCE (NOVFTF). Under the

direction of the U. S. Marshal’s Office, this multi-jurisdictional agency, represented by federal, state and

local law enforcement agencies, search for and

apprehend dangerous felons and fugitives who are

located in the jurisdictions of the participating agencies. Two officers are assigned part-time to this organization

which has been instrumental in the apprehension of

Kent area fugitives. This year the task force officers

arrested 45 subjects, 26 of the subjects were on KPD warrants. Officers worked 200 hours of operational time, 40 hours of training, searched for 128

targets, and checked 181 locations in the surrounding area.

TERRORISM LIASION OFFICER. Ohio Homeland Security has adopted a TLO

Program that establishes a baseline intelligence capability throughout the

State, utilizing existing law enforcement resources. The TLO serves as our county-wide point of contact in terrorism related information and intelligence.

The TLO serves as a liaison to all other law enforcement, Fire and EMS in

providing information and guidance to local officials and acts as the Point of

Contact (POC) for homeland security information. We have one officer dedicated to this program part-time. Our officer attended four meetings and

an annual conference to discuss Human Trafficking, behavior detection,

Northeast Ohio Regional Scrap Theft and regional crime trends. The officer

also initiated "Communities Against Terrorism Program", to provide any applicable business in Kent a poster regarding suspicious information to

report that may apply to their specific entity.

PORTAGE COUNTY DRUG TASK

FORCE. Under the direction of the

Portage County Sheriff, this multi-

jurisdictional agency investigates

and apprehends offenders involved

in the trafficking, distribution, and possession of illegal drugs within

the communities of participating

agencies. Membership includes the

Portage County Sheriff’s Office, the Portage County Prosecutor’s Office,

and the Kent, Aurora, Ravenna, Streetsboro, DEA and Garrettsville police

departments. Each agency has at least one (1) full time officer assigned to

the Task Force.

METRO SWAT. This highly trained, professional multi-jurisdictional special

weapons team responds to incidents within the jurisdictions of participating

members that require special weapons and tactics to deal with riotous

activity, large crowd control, barricaded suspects, the execution of drug warrants, arrest of dangerous felons, and the rescue of hostages or

endangered persons. The organization is comprised of 18 Summit and

Portage County law enforcement agencies. The Kent community needed

the assistance of Metro SWAT on two occasions in 2014. Metro SWAT is instrumental during Kent's Halloween event each year and with KSU related

spring parties.

K-9 PROGRAM The K-9 program greatly enhances uniformed patrol in the

detection and apprehension of criminal offenders, locating

missing persons and children, and provides better safety for officers in physical confrontations and dangerous

situations. We currently have two allocated K-9 positions

within the patrol division. K-9 teams are dedicated full

time to the program as the dogs are housed and cared for by the officer 24 hours a day. Last year we had a vacant

K-9 position that wasn’t filled until May. In 2014, our two

teams conducted a cumulative 6 tracks, 3 building

searches, 55 narcotics sniffs, 5 article/evidence search and 8 suspect apprehensions.

PHARMACEUTICAL DRUG COLLECTION BOX

This program was begun late 2012 in cooperation

from a grant through the Portage County Solid Waste Management (who provided the box) and

after application and permission from the DEA (Drug

Enforcement Agency). The program is designed to

provide a collection box for the Kent community to easily dispose of unwanted or expired medication for

safe disposal. A collection box is located at our

parking lot for easy drop off. The program is

managed by detective bureau personnel. In 2014, 173 pounds of pills were collected, along with other

miscellaneous medications, anonymously via the collection box. The

amount collected almost doubled in weight from the previous year.

JUVENILE UNIT’S DIVERSION PROGRAM. Under the direction of Juvenile

Counselor Jeffry Langstaff, the Diversion Program in 2014 processed 46

juveniles through the program. The program provides first time offenders with an alternative process from entering the county’s juvenile justice system

for a non-serious criminal offense.

The Juvenile Unit Diversion Program included the following activities in

2014:

41 Mediation/ Problem-Solving Contacts

30 Drug/ Alcohol Interventions

37 Parental/ Family Consultations

4 Juveniles providing community service through the Diversion program. Community service averaging 16-18 hours per juvenile.

43 Child/ Adolescent Mental Health Interventions

41 Adult Mental Health Interventions

12 Public Speaking Engagements

5 Internet Safety & Security Concern Issues

BICYCLE PATROL The bicycle patrol continues to be a tool used in community

policing efforts and in crime prevention. There are currently 15 Officers trained in the utilization of the Police Bicycle and are encouraged to ride

bicycles when staffing allows and are often an assigned position in CDBG

patrols. We have found that it is effective during civil demonstrations and

activities to include parades, Kent Heritage Festival, road races and public safety presentations. There are five Police Mountain Bicycles in this program.

DOG KENNEL The city Dog Kennel operates at 1220 Mogadore Road. The Kennel

is maintained by Kent Police personnel, but primarily the Animal Compliance Officer. The

new kennel has three secure indoor/outdoor

runs, heating, lighting, running water and

sanitary drainage. The kennel can accommodate up to 6 dogs at any given time.

In 2014, 72 dogs were impounded, 53 were

returned to their owner, 12 were adopted

back into the community and only 7 were

taken to the county dog pound. In 2014, KPD personnel responded to 365 animal complaints in total.

CITIZENS POLICE ACADEMY The fourth Citizens Police Academy was held in the

spring and consisted of a 12 week course involving an array of law

enforcement topics. Students were instructed in patrol tactics, investigation

techniques, police equipment and participated in a ride-along to name a few. 18 Kent area residents participated in the program meant to educate and

garner community relations and debunk common misperceptions about

police work. This program was well received and is slated for a fifth class in

2015.

Training Summary

Training is an integral part of establishing high professional standards within all

organizations. The Kent Police Department is committed to providing the highest level of training, within financial constraints, for all components of the organization.

This commitment is accomplished by using internal (in-service) and external training

resources to provide advanced training, career development opportunities, and

specialized training related to new law enforcement technology.

In-Service Training:

In-Service training was provided to all members of the department throughout the

year. Much of this training was conducted through daily Roll Call training. Areas of Roll Call training include: review of department rules, policies, procedures; changes

in state law and local ordinances; court rulings and decisions; community policing

techniques; homeland security; officer survival; investigation techniques; firearm

related issues; crime prevention concepts; and many other job-related subjects.

− The police department also provided formalized and structured in-service training to police personnel. These training sessions were presented by

state certified staff and department members in subject matters related to

their fields of expertise. The 2014 in-service training included: Firearm

training and certification for side arms, shotguns and patrol rifles.

− Less-than-lethal weapon training, use of force decision-making and

documentation.

− Breath alcohol testing certification; electronic speed measuring devices and

hazard communications

− Controlled marijuana burn, administration of medications, Ebola virus

training, SOLO Entry Response

External Training:

External or outside training needs are met by sending personnel to specialized

training academies, seminars, and workshops. These resources include both the

private and public sector. Training needs are reviewed and determined for all

components of the organization. The primary components are: administration, supervision/ management, investigations, records & dispatch, and patrol. The

following courses represent specialized training members attended outside of the

Department.

KENT POLICE - KENT STATE UNIVERSITY

PARTNERSHIPS

The Kent Police and the Kent State University enjoy a cooperative working

relationship which has proven to be mutually beneficial. Although this relationship has always existed, new initiatives and joint ventures are always investigated to

improve the quality of service to the Kent and Kent State University communities.

Special Events - There are several special events that require KSU PD's

assistance and cooperation to ensure a safe and tactically sound operation. The

end of KSU's spring semester sparks many college age residential area events such

as "Collegefest", "Drinkin' on Lincoln" and "Shermania". These unsanctioned block parties are advertised and attended by college age participants that often result in

riotous activities. A heavy police presence is needed to quell these events and

which KSUPD and KSU Administrators are heavily relied on for assistance.

Halloween has also proven to be an unsanctioned event that continues to swell and sprawl within the city. We have received continued support from KSUPD when

planning and staffing our police response.

Other special events include sanctioned parades and road races that involve dual

areas of responsibility and jurisdiction. Many of these events cater to the Kent State

student population such as the Homecoming Parade, Bowman Cup 5K Race, and The Black Squirrel 5K Race.

Training Opportunities - Our department and KSUPD have been training together

for years on various disciplines and enforcement tactics. This year we had the

Page 21: KENT POLICE DEPARTMENT · He has been the juvenile counselor at KPD since 1978. Mr. Langstaff has been a member of the Mental Health & Recovery Board of . 3 Portage County for the

16

opportunity to have our officers in Active Shooter scenarios and Self-Care/Buddy

Care.

Joint Patrol District - This department and the Kent State University PD have

mutual enforcement districts which are student populated areas within the city that

also incorporate University owned properties. These areas include the Crain to Main

triangle North of campus and the Lincoln, Summit, Depeyster, Main St. square to

the West of campus. An agreement allows KSUPD officers to patrol, initiate enforcement and report incidents in these areas without involving or initiating mutual

aid first. This initiative assists our department by allowing campus officers freedoms

within these districts thus infusing officers into these populated areas. It is mutually

beneficial to KSUPD to be responsive and responsible to their students and property directly.

City of Kent and Kent State University Community Meetings - Police

Administrators contribute to these Town/Gown meetings which are held monthly.

These meetings involving KSU and Kent City administrators are meant to ensure cooperative working relationships and to maintain and improve town and gown

relationships.

C.A.D. and R.M.S. (Computer Aided Dispatch and Records Management

System)

KPD and KSUPD collaborate in several ways in the areas of communications

infrastructure, dispatch services and records management. For over thirty years,

both departments have dispatched police services on a shared VHF radio

frequency. Each department owns and

maintains interconnected portions of the

same two-way radio system that provides

radio and emergency warning siren coverage over the entire city. Kent PD also

dispatches Kent FD for fire and EMS

services on campus as well. Since 2006,

Kent PD has also shared KSU PD’s computer-aided dispatch and records management platforms as well. This shared

software platform allows officers from both departments instant access to the activity

and databases of the other department via their dispatch centers, and desktop and

vehicle mounted computers. The shared platform also allows either dispatch center to serve as a fully capable emergency backup for the other, should one suffer a

catastrophic failure or natural disaster. These two shared systems have promoted

further collaborations which include KSUPD monitoring burglar and fire alarm

Internship Program - The Kent Police Department recognizes and provides

learning opportunities for persons studying in criminal justice and related fields through an internship program. Internships provide a valuable opportunity for
