Citizens of Washington County

P a g e | 1

To the Citizens of Washington County,

Following is a brief “Executive Summary” type report of the Sheriff’s Office activities in 2016. Staffing

vacancies in the later part of the year led to a prioritization of workload and a much less

comprehensive annual report document.

Staffing

Similar to the past two years, the Sheriff’s Office continued to experience staff turnover in all areas of

the department. Over 50 years of public safety dispatching experience was lost with the retirement of

two Communications Officers. The retirement of a 32 year veteran Deputy and resignation of a 20

year veteran Detective were also significant. Following the loss of 18 staff in 2014, and 22 in 2015,

the department lost 23 full time staff in 2016. The reasons for the turnover in staff are varied. They

include retirements, performance related resignations, opportunities in the private sector and

opportunities at other law enforcement agencies. There was also the unexpected passing of two staff

members. Anecdotally, the difficulties of retaining and recruiting staff experienced by the Sheriff’s

Office, is not uncommon across Wisconsin and the country.

A Captain position was added to the staffing plan in 2016. The Jail Captain duties remained the

same, with Captain Lehman serving as the Jail Administrator. The other responsibilities were divided

with Captain Theusch overseeing the Operations area, essentially sworn personnel operations, and

Captain Schulteis supervising the Communications, Radio, and Administrative areas. This structure

has proved very valuable in operating the department on a daily basis as the span of control is much

more realistic. This command structure allows each Captain to be more focused on ensuring their

staff is actually delivering quality services to the public.

Jail Operations

After a slight rise to 250 in 2015, the average daily in-house adult inmate population dropped to 205.

The juvenile average remained fairly constant at 11. Jail staff was able to maintain seven inmates on

electronic monitoring in 2016, compared to only three in 2015.

Operations

Deputies handled more calls for service (47,479) and cases (4735) in 2016 than the prior year. This

included 187 more cases which are generally more involved and time consuming. The types of cases

continue to cover a wide variety of offenses and service to the public. Deputies continue to find

heroin/opiates and related paraphernalia on an almost daily basis. Deputies were trained in

administering Narcan for opiate overdoses in February of 2015. Through the end of 2016, they

administered and “saved” six subjects.

Total Operating While Intoxicated arrests for 2016 were 216, with 22 of those being for drug

intoxication.

Deputies investigated 1139 total motor vehicles crashes in 2016, with 9 fatalities and 49 being OWI

related.

Detective Bureau

A small but important staff re-organization was made in 2016. Rather than having a Detective in

charge of the evidence room and an investigative case load, one Deputy Investigator was put in

charge of the evidence room and evidence gathering at larger crime scenes. He was also trained in

forensic data gathering from cell phones. This allowed the Detective to take on a full investigation

case load. This was a good efficiency recommended by command staff. (See more information on

the Detective Bureau activities later in this document).

Multi-Jurisdictional Drug Enforcement Group

This unit is led by a Sheriff’s Lieutenant and consists of two Sheriff’s Detectives, a Deputy, a

Germantown Police Officer and two West Bend Police Officers. They focus their efforts on

investigating drug sellers as opposed to users. They charged 80 individuals with drug crimes in 2016,

including 32 for delivery of heroin. They also work closely with surrounding agencies and the WI-DOJ

as part of a more regional effort to investigate illegal drug sales. (See more information on the

Detective Bureau activities later in this document).

Budget

The Sheriff’s Office budgeted levy was $16,639,074 in 2016. The actual year end was $18,610,854

in expenses, $2,220,051 in revenue for a levy used of $16,390,802. $248,271 was returned to county

general fund.

Projects

700 MHz Radio System Enhancement Research and preparation for new squad vehicle platform, Ford Interceptor SUV Lexipol policy development and implementation Closing Comments

For the Sheriff’s Office to provide meaningful services to the public, it must be a comprehensive and

capable organization. This requires quality staff and adequate funding. Although we have seen staff

turnover, and experience has contracted some, the quality and expectations of staff have remained

high. No one wants to work at a superficial level of service. The staff want to be contributors to the

Sheriff’s mission of serving the public at a meaningful level. The Sheriff’s Office meets the quality

staff criteria.

In 2016, and again in 2017, the County Board has provided adequate funding in the Sheriff’s budget

so that it can remain a comprehensive and capable organization. The department can operate a safe

and secure Jail, provide emergency and non-emergency communications services to multiple

agencies, serve the public and other customers through its administrative staff, provide court security

and patrol/detective response to emergencies and criminal investigations, all at a professional level.

The Sheriff’s Office budget also meets the funding criteria.

From the Administrative staff through Communications, Corrections and Operations, the department

is positioned to meet its responsibilities of serving the public safety needs in Washington County.

Sheriff Dale K. Schmidt

The Sheriff’s Office staff would like to recognize our friends and coworkers that we lost unexpectedly

in 2016. Tim and Jenny were both good people and the department is a lesser place without them.

Rest in peace.

Timothy F. Kraft, age 60, died being a badass, riding his motorcycle on Tuesday, September 13, 2016. He was born on September 10, 1956 to Frank and Kaye (nee Forde) in Devil’s Lake, North Dakota. He played softball and hockey all of his life. He was the oldest of five children. Tim graduated Park High in 1974 and decided to join the US Army and was eventually stationed in Fairbanks, AL. He married Kathleen (nee Bardell) Kraft on May 2, 1996 with a beautiful ceremony in Disneyworld, FL. He enjoyed working for the Washington County Sherriff’s Department as a Corrections Officer. Tim was very proud of finding his sobriety on December 16, 1992. He treasured this and was always happy and willing to help those who wanted it.

Tim is survived by his wife, Kathe (nee Bardell); daughters Colie, Samantha and Cassandra Kraft; son Nic Bardell; mother Kaye; brother Greg (Shannon) Kraft, sister Nancy (John) Huseby; brother Jayme Kraft; parents-in-law Ken and Endie Bardell; sister-in-law Debi (Kip) Kusick; nephew Joel (Tay) Kraft and nieces Maddie and Carly Kusick. He is further survived by other relatives and

A Funeral Service will be at 5:00PM on Monday, September 19, 2016 at the Phillip Funeral Home Chapel (1420 W. Paradise Dr. West Bend, WI 53095). Visitation will be at the funeral home from 3:00PM until the time of the service with Military Honors to follow. Memorials appreciated to the family for a charity at a later date.

Jennifer R. Rindt (nee Roell), age 42 years of West Bend, passed away on Friday, December 30, 2016. Jennifer was born on April 4, 1974 in West Bend to Bruce and Sharon (nee Hawig) Roell where she graduated from West Bend East High School in 1992. She married Steven Rindt on October 16, 1999 at St. Mary’s Immaculate Conception Church.

Jennifer worked for the Washington County Sheriff’s Department as an accounting supervisor. She loved shopping, reading, traveling, and enjoyed cooking and baking. Her handmade Christmas gifts were very special.

She is survived by her husband Steven, parents Bruce and Sharon Roell, sister Pam (Todd) Gnacinski, brother Ryan (Kimberly) Roell. She is further survived by her in-laws Jim and Diane Rindt, brothers-in-law Jeff (special friend Jenny) Rindt, Mike (Michelle) Rindt, Scott (Bonnie) Rindt, nieces and nephews Ava and Oliver Roell, Bradley and Elizabeth Rindt, Caden and Carsen Rindt, other relatives and friends. Preceded in death by her grandparents.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be at 6:00 pm on Friday, January 6, 2017 at St. Mary’s Immaculate Conception Catholic Church (406 Jefferson St., West Bend, 53090) with Father Nathan Reesman presiding. Interment will take place at 10:30 am on Saturday, January 7 at Washington Co. Memorial Park. Visitation will be at the CHURCH ONLY on Friday, January 6 from 3:00 pm until time of Mass (6:00 pm).

JUVENILE DETENTION

In 2016, Juvenile Detention recorded 318 bookings and 3006 days of billed detention. Washington County Juvenile Detention acts as a regional detention facility, housing juveniles from Kenosha, Ozaukee, Dodge, Waukesha and occasionally Jefferson Counties. **There were also instances where we housed other counties due to the location of the juvenile at the time, or their usual detention facility was full.

OPERATIONS DIVISION ACTIVITY To best understand the annual activity of the Operations Division, activity has been divided into two main categories: Calls > Case Reports Calls represent the widest range of activity engaged in by Deputies. When any call is received by the Sheriff’s Office that requires a response from a Deputy, the information about the call is entered into our computer system. This data entry is called a “Call”. Calls can be created when a dispatcher enters the information into our computer system, or when they are entered by a Deputy into a squad computer when he/she initiates activity in the field. A call can be everything from a serious criminal investigation to a traffic stop and most every activity in between. Case Report is a written police report that is filed by a Deputy. Case reports always start as a call. If a Deputy responds to a call and a written police report is required, a case report is started. For example, all criminal cases are recorded in a case report. The Deputy dictates the narrative portion of the case report, a program assistant types the report and the report is filed in the front office. In 2015 the Sheriff’s Office handled 46,875 calls for service and 4,548 cases. In 2016, there were 47,479 calls and 4,735 cases.

2016 DETECTIVE BUREAU INFORMATION

In 2016, after the retirement of a 25 year veteran, The Detective Bureau had a change in personnel. A Deputy Sheriff was promoted to Detective, and an Evidence Custodian position was incorporated. The Evidence Custodian is responsible for all of the evidence handling responsibilities, (logging evidence into the evidence vault, taking and maintaining track of evidence that goes to the Wisconsin State Crime Lab, returning evidence to the rightful owners, disposing of evidence no longer needed for cases, returning or disposing of vehicles that were seized or required for investigations). This person was also trained in forensic downloads of cell phones and other electronic devices. This reorganization allows a detective to maintain a full case load while these duties are handled solely by the Evidence Custodian. In 2016, two of our forensically trained personnel conducted 106 cell phone downloads using the CELLEBRITE device, (a device used to forensically extract data from cellphones and other electronic devices). Additionally, the bureau welcomed a deputy sheriff into the Investigator role. This position is where a Deputy Sheriff is chosen to work in the Detective Bureau for a minimum of 2 years. This Deputy Sheriff Investigator is provided additional training and experience in this position during the time they are in that Investigator role. At the end of their assignment in that position, the Deputy Sheriff Investigator returns to patrol and utilizes that training and experience to become a better Deputy Sheriff. They are able to share the valuable training and experience with other deputies. Another Deputy Sheriff is then selected to assume that Investigator role. In 2016 the detective bureau worked on approximately 368 cases, most of which were Felony level cases. This included responding to 60 death investigations. Many of those death investigations included overdose death/homicide cases. We also assisted in an investigation of an officer involved shooting in the City of Hartford. We responded and assisted another Sheriff’s Office with a death investigation that involved a suicide that was witnessed by deputies from their agency. The assistance to other Law Enforcement agencies in these types of high profile cases is essential to provide transparency in Law Enforcement. In 2016, the bureau investigated several significant cases including: sexual assault & sexual assault of children; child abuse cases that caused great bodily harm; child pornography cases; burglaries; armed robberies; as well as fraud cases.

2016 MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL DRUG ENFORCEMENT GROUP The Washington County Multi-Jurisdictional Drug Enforcement Group (Drug Unit) had a very active and productive year in 2016. 306 charges were developed from Drug Unit activity against 80 individual suspects. 69% of these charges were for felony offenses. There were 32 charged instances of delivery of heroin. The primary drug threat in Washington County remains heroin due to overdoses, deaths, and numerous crimes resulting from addiction. Closely associated are narcotic pharmaceuticals. Considering the tiny amount of .1 gram normally constituting a dose of heroin, the 34.63 grams of heroin the drug unit seized in 2016 represents a significant quantity. 7.56 grams of Crack Cocaine seized represents an up-tick in crack’s presence here, often used in conjunction with heroin. 107 oxycodone pills, 143 amphetamines, 277 alprazolams, and other pharmaceuticals were seized by the Drug Unit in 2016. Almost 8 pounds of marijuana, 223 indoor grown marijuana plants, approximately 20 grams of MDMA (ecstasy), and approximately 20 grams of psilocybin mushrooms were seized, along with small amounts of LSD, Suboxone, Fentanyl, and other drugs. In addition to primary duties the Drug Unit assisted local PDs with K-9 school searches, assisted with highway interdiction working with both K-9 and commercial motor vehicle inspectors, and provided 14 drug education presentations to the community.

COMMUNICATIONS

In addition to assisting the public via answering calls and dispatching resources, Officers in the Communications Center spend a significant amount of time working with data entry related to warrants, restraining orders and injunctions. Many of these entries are time sensitive. In the past year, 1,098 warrants originating from six agencies were entered into the TIME system:

* These totals lower than actual. Multiple warrants being entered at the same time may only be counted as one entry.

In addition, 213 restraining orders and 97 injunctions were entered into various data systems by Officers in 2016. Each month, up to 100 warrant and injunction entries need to be validated with the Crime Information Bureau. Data entry is an area that may require a dedicated position in the future.
