3 March 30, 2016 Village Administrator Steve Fahlgren Village President Judd Blau Village Board Trustees and Citizens of DeForest: Ladies and Gentlemen: On behalf of the men and women of the DeForest Police Department, I welcome you to review our 2015 Annual Report. I trust you will find it both interesting and helpful. The 2015 Annual Report will show the activity levels through the various types of calls for service. The quality of staffing levels and quality of equipment has allowed us to be proactive and manage the crime in our community. We maintain a good level of presence to provide comfort for our citizens and discomfort for the people who choose to try to take away from our quality of life. It is the philosophy of this department to maintain a safe environment so our community can continue enjoying the amenities the Village provides. Challenges for our community and other communities state and nationwide are drugs and mental health. There is more specific information about the drug area later in the annual report. There is no magic formula to curb the supply and demand for drugs. We will continue to manage this through education, treatment and enforcement. The mental health calls for service will continue to be a challenge for us as well as others. All ages are affected by this illness. These calls have a significant time commitment for law enforcement with extending the time for emergency detentions and transporting. The Madison facility for emergency detentions was closed in 2012 requiring transporting these individuals to Winnebago Mental Health in Oshkosh. When a transport is needed, this will take a patrol officer(s) out of service for an additional three to four hours. There are times when it is necessary to have two officers for the transport. These individuals ride in the back of a squad, handcuffed, behind a cage, sitting on hard plastic seats for about 1.5 hours. The gradual but sure lack of funding is the cause for this disproportionate shift of transports to law enforcement. There was a time when there were mobile crisis intervention teams available to respond with police to address people in crisis. A paradigm shift is vitally needed for a major over haul of this system shifting statutory and liability responsibilities to proper social and mental health resources to provide imminent care and a more humane means of transportation. In closing, I want to thank all of you for being supportive for public safety. I am very proud of the officers who serve and protect us to provide the high level of quality of services which in turn provides us with the high quality of life to live, work and play. Sincerely, Robert K. Henze Chief of Police ~ 2 ~

9 SUPPORT STAFF SUMMARY This section of the annual report is to share with you the responsibilities of the Office Manager and the Administrative Assistants and their activity levels. The support staff consists of two Administrative Assistants and one Executive Assistant/Office Manager. The office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday. The Administrative Assistant position is responsible for providing customer service to citizens, support for the command staff and officers, and assisting with projects as assigned. Some of the daily tasks are records management, dictation, mailings, collection of money, taking open records requests, answering the phones, and monitoring the front lobby window. One of the most important responsibilities is customer service. The Administrative Assistants are also dispatchers responsible for gathering necessary complaint information for the officers and keeping track of where and when the officers are on a call. The Administrative Staff primarily dispatches for nonemergency calls that come through our agency. Some examples of the types of calls are noise complaints, parking complaints, barking dogs, thefts, missing juveniles, disorderly conduct and batteries. Although rare, the Administrative Staff does answer emergency calls that are transferred to the 911 center. Data entry is a very significant part of the Administrative Assistant s day. This can range from entering officer daily activity reports, traffic warnings, citations, the transcribing of reports, and entering the reports into our Law Enforcement Record Management System (LERMS). There are certain investigations that require more transcription and data entry time such as sexual assaults, batteries, and operating while intoxicated to name just a few. The Administrative Staff is the quality control mechanism responsible for ensuring that correct and accurate information is entered into our RMS. This information is an important investigative tool which leads to finding suspects, linking cases together, and solving cases. In 2015, approximately 1859 reports were typed. Besides the day to day responsibilities, each of the Administrative Assistants have joint and individual tasks they are responsible for. These vary from preparing pre-trials, court, scanning, filing, verification of incidents in LERMS, tracking overtime and monitoring payment/nonpayment in our parking program. The Administrative Assistants report to the Executive Assistant/Office Manager. The Office Manager is in charge of the day to day operations and overseeing the running of the office. The Office Manager is responsible for the Incident Based Reporting (IBR), which is done monthly. State Statute requires all agencies in the State of Wisconsin to report their crime statistics to the Office of Justice Assistance (OJA). The Office Manager is responsible for all open records requests which are very time consuming. Each report must be read to have confidential information redacted. Generally the request will be fulfilled within seven to ten days. Another major job task is the Time Agency Coordinator (TAC), Train Administrator, and Validation Officer. The Time System is a tool used for law enforcement agencies to access confidential records such as driving records, criminal histories, and wanted person files. The TAC is responsible to ensure that all of the terminal operators, which would be approximately 20 people consisting of our command staff, officers, and support staff are properly trained, certified, and ~ 8 ~

10 re-certified. The Train Administrator is responsible for registering personnel for training. The Validation Officer is responsible for validating records, which can consist of stolen/lost/found property, missing persons, and would include warrants for the agencies that issue warrants, in the TIME/NCIC System. The Office Manager also takes on the roll as the Public Safety Secretary, which meets the first Wednesday of every month. This entails performing background checks on liquor/operator license applicants, putting together and posting the agenda and the materials, which is then distributed to the committee members. The Office Manager takes the minutes at the meetings, which are then transcribed and presented to the committee at the next meeting for their approval. Once they are approved they are made available to the public. Respectfully Submitted, Sandy Bowers Executive Assistant/Office Manager ~ 9 ~

11 FIELD SERVICES 2015 The patrol division consists of ten patrol officers and two patrol sergeants and is the backbone of any police agency. The unit is overseen by the Lieutenant and Chief of Police. Patrol officers respond to calls for service and engage in proactive police activities which include traffic enforcement and community security checks. The patrol officers handle the majority of the calls for service and investigations from start to finish. Cases that need further investigation or expertise are forwarded to the detective division. The department received 7,779 calls for service in 2015 which increased by 454 calls from While calls for service rose in 2015, time spent investigating these calls actually decreased by 384 hours from Calls for Service & Investigative Time (Three Year Comparison) Calls for Service 2014 Calls for Service 2013 Calls for Service Calls for Service Investigative Time (in hours) by Patrol Officers (Investigative time depicted in the above graph does not include investigative time completed by command staff, the investigative division, or the school resource officer) The total number of calls for service increases to over 12,000 police related contacts when including other proactive activities such as business checks, residence checks, school checks, and park checks. Because of a retirement in 2014, the department was short staffed until April when Officer Kyle Mueller completed field training and began solo patrol duties. ~ 10 ~

12 TRAFFIC CONTACTS: In 2015, the total number of traffic stops for the department was 3,055 traffic stops compared to 2,601 traffic stops in The amount of traffic citations issued in 2015 is 1,483 compared to 987 in The total number of traffic warnings given in 2015 was 2,508 compared to 2,424 in Traffic Contacts (Three Year Comparison) Traffic Contacts 2014 Traffic Contacts 2013 Traffic Contacts Traffic Stops Traffic Citations Traffic Warnings MUNICIPAL ORDINANCE OFFENSES: Officers issued 345 citations for violations of a municipal ordinance in 2015 compared to 336 citations in These citations include 64 citations for possession of marijuana, 56 citations for possession of drug paraphernalia, 16 citations for underage alcohol consumption, and 38 disorderly conduct citations. TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS: The department saw a decrease in traffic accidents during The decrease may be attributed to the completion of the Highway 51 project which eliminated a number of intersections which contributed to injury and property damage accidents in previous years. Officers responded to 122 traffic accidents in 2015 compared to 193 in Officers responded to 8 personal injury accidents in 2015 which is down from 20 personal injury accidents in Officers took 8 reports of hit and run accidents this year compared to 22 last year. Of the 122 accidents in 2015, alcohol was identified as a contributing factor in 1 injury accident and 5 property damage accidents. ~ 11 ~

13 Traffic Accidents (Three Year Comparison) Accidents Accidents 2013 Accidents Injury Property Damage Hit and Run PROPERTY AND PERSON CHECKS: Patrol officers responded to 139 alarms in 2015 which is down from 163 alarms in Officers continue to routinely check businesses and properties throughout the year. Officers conducted 3094 business checks in 2015 and found 98 unsecured doors. Officers also conducted 198 residential vacation checks and contacted 481 suspicious persons or suspicious vehicles. Respectfully Submitted, Sergeant Eric McGlynn Sergeant Chris Riedel ~ 12 ~

14 CRISIS INTERVENTION & MENTAL HEALTH In 2015 we examined the link between the decades old trend toward deinstitutionalization of persons with serious mental illnesses and policing. Findings are noted below in the impact statement. The police department is continuing to track data on calls and services that involve mental illness. It is still vitally important to consider the complexities of identifying how mental illness may drive or relate to calls for service. The estimated time we have spent providing services for mental illness is limited to those that have a clear connection and it is reasonable to assume the actual number of calls for service is somewhat greater. The following is an overview of general mental health information changes the police department has made in The Impact of Mental Health Calls On Public Safety Services: Last year s annual report underscored the unpredictable nature of dealing with persons experiencing a mental health crisis. Some research on policing mental health needs highlights the trend to keep citizens in their own homes and communities as much as possible. What this means to law enforcement is we are often tasked with assessing and reacting to a mental health crisis when a person experiences a significant event, is no longer taking medications, or using available services. Some of the impairments triggering law enforcement responses can range from a lack of self-awareness, inability to cope with stress or care for themselves. In other instances it is necessary for officers to take people, who represent a danger to themselves, into protective custody. Officers must obtain a medical clearance at a local hospital and then officers transport the detainee out of the county to an approved facility with available space. In 2015 the most probable destination for a mental health commitment is still Winnebago Mental Health Institute near Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It is a significant undertaking to complete an emergency detention, medical clearance, and trip to Winnebago Mental Health in Oshkosh Wisconsin. Most contacts do not need an involuntary commitment; meaning custody and possible institutionalization by the courts. Although, a trip to the hospital to transfer custody of a person to the care of the hospital takes an officer out of service for several hours and often require EMS to respond as well. In other instances, officers calm and resolve an emergent crisis by talking with the individual, family members, care providers, and case workers. The DeForest Police Department has taken steps to make mental health related calls as efficient and effective as possible, by collaborating with Dane County Mental Health Workers, Dane County Detoxification Center and area health care providers. Supplementary Mental Health Training: In 2015 Sgt McGlynn and Officer Larson attended Youth Mental Health First Aid training, which taught techniques for identifying at risk juveniles and selecting ways to effectively illicit productive communication and intervention strategies. Youth Mental Health First Aid training teaches officers to assess a situation and work with a person in crisis to start a plan of action for a wide range of needs. This particular training offers strategies to officers called in response to mental health, substance abuse, behavioral conditions and eating disorders involving adolescents. The department also incorporated a broad overview of serious forms of mental illness, as well as dementia for all sworn staff. This interactive session conveyed some of the key tenets of Crisis Intervention Training as well as Youth Mental Health First Aid training. In-service ~ 13 ~

15 included videos meant to give the officers a visual and audial perspective of a delusional state. Officers also participated in discussions after viewing video clips of people in crisis. Our goal is to inform, enlighten and sharpen critical thinking skills so officers are more prepared to identify and deescalate unpredictable mental health emergencies. Mental Health Calls for Service: This year uniformed officers spent hours or 1.34 percent of patrol time working with people with mental health needs, suicidal behaviors, self-harming behaviors, or dementia and completing and filing the necessary paperwork. This estimate is down about a half a percent from last year and does not include administrative time or report writing. In the previous report we noted how two percent of patrol time on mental health needs did not appear statistically significant and the same qualifier applies this year. The DeForest Police Department responded to approximately 99 mental health related calls and out of those, six required transport to Winnebago Mental Health Institute. Records show officers average 3.5 hours per event. Transports to Winnebago ranged from 5 to 12 hours; however it is important to note average transport to Winnebago is calculated at 8.5 hours. The quantity and severity of mental health crises the department will respond to is unpredictable. The DeForest Police Department s past experiences have shown when the need arises these calls often represent a significant commitment of time and resources to stabilize. In 2016 the DeForest Police Department will continue to track and refine our training and allocation of time to optimize our response to mental health needs.

16 2015 OWI REPORT The DeForest Police Department puts a heavy emphasis on traffic safety as well as Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) enforcement. DeForest has been the lead agency in a multi-agency approach to combating drunk and impaired drivers for the fourth year in a row. The Capital Area OWI Task Force was formed with partner communities including Stoughton, Town of Madison, Maple Bluff, Monona, City of Madison, Sun Prairie, McFarland, Verona, Shorewood Hills, Oregon, Capital Police, UW Police, and the Wisconsin State Patrol. Utilizing a grant from the Bureau of Traffic Safety and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, our communities have all agreed that more needs to be done to stop the problem of drunk and impaired drivers in our county. In a rotating schedule, each established community hosts a highly visible patrol with assistance from the others. The visibility, along with enforcement and education, brings awareness to a deadly problem. In 2015, we conducted eleven patrols between each community. Officers made approximately 1190 traffic stops resulting in 384 citations including 44 OWI arrests. Other citations were for violations including seatbelts, child restraints, speeding, open intoxicants, vehicle insurance, and vehicle registration violations. There were also 44 drug related arrests as well as fourteen warrant arrests including ten felony warrants. Task force aside, the DeForest Police Department focuses heavily on day to day traffic safety. Traffic complaints have been reduced every year, even though traffic volumes and populations have increased. Traffic enforcement has proven to reduce other crimes in communities by driving out drug, gang, and other quality of life problems. Drunk driving is a nationwide problem, but enforcement takes place at the local level. Our officers understand the importance of effective OWI enforcement as well as education. As a result, there were 76 OWI arrests in 2015, down slightly from 80 the year before, and below the 10 year average of 94. Other statistics: Offense #: 1 st : 49 (64%) 2 nd : 15 3 rd : 3 4 th : 3 5 th. 1 7 th : 1 There were 5 drugged driving arrests, down from 12 in The average age was 32.

18 SELF-INITIATED FIELD ACTIVITY The DeForest Police Department strives to engage in community policing efforts to ensure that residents and visitors to the village receive quality services and have a safe community in which to live and play. It is no secret that many crimes are crimes of opportunity. The opportunity could be presented as an unsecured business, an unlocked vehicle, or an open garage door. Many criminals only look for that small opportunity to make someone a victim. To deter these threats, our officers proactively seek out crime and nuisance issues in the community. The staffing levels at the police department have enabled our department to be proactive opposed to reactive. A community looking to see low crime rates should see these staffing levels as positive and beneficial since officers have the ability to be proactive in their crime deterrence activities instead of only having time to handle calls after they are called into the police department. During the year, officers consistently check closed businesses to ensure they are secure, walk into open businesses such as banks and pharmacies to see if there are any issues, and walk through village parks to speak with families. Officers also check the security of homes while homeowners are on vacation, walk through schools to speak with students and staff, and make time to talk with citizens or hand out safety information or football cards. The department documents these self initiated activities that officers engage in during their shift. These activities can be separated into different categories which all have the same general purpose: prevent and solve crime, increase citizen safety, and encourage officer/citizen interaction. In 2015, DeForest officers made 7,811 self-initiated contacts. This averages out to 651 selfinitiated contacts per month and 781 self-initiated contacts per patrol officer per year. Patrol officers made 2,167 self-initiated traffic contacts and 3,094 self-initiated business checks or walk-ins. These two activities made up the greatest percentage of our department s self initiated efforts. During these contacts, officers made 151 arrests for offenses that officers observed while on patrol. These arrests include operating while intoxicated arrests, warrant arrests, probation violation arrests, and ordinance violations. Officers also completed 422 village park checks, 144 tavern checks, 79 school security checks, 299 foot patrol and 244 public relations contacts. The response to officer s proactive activity from local businesses and individuals has been positive. Officers place a notice on secure businesses to notify business owners that their business was checked by officers and found to be secure. Officers have reported that business owners are appreciative of officers checking their property during the night time hours. While the department and school district fund one school resource officer position, school staff has also been appreciative of additional patrol officers who make time to check the security of local schools and engage in positive contacts with students and staff.

20 MUNICIPAL CITATIONS Below is a list of issued tickets for violation of a municipal ordinance. A citation is the means by which law enforcement notifies a subject of a charge, including a description of the alleged violation and the date and time the subject may appear in court to contest the charge. Village police officers issue two types of citations that end up being adjudicated in the Village s municipal court. The first type of citation issued by officers is the uniform traffic citation, which is issued for violations of the state traffic laws. The second type of citation issued by officers is the uniform municipal court citation. Municipal citations are issued for violations of the Village s Municipal Code. These offenses include some offenses that are prohibited under state law, such as disorderly conduct and possession of marijuana, as well as ordinances that are specific to the Village, such as the Village s ordinances concerning zoning, park hours, and curfew, to give some examples.

This is an incident based reporting system used by the U.S. law enforcement agencies to report data relating to crimes. The NIBRS is also used to collect data on crimes. ~ 23 ~

25 Based on the information above, the following is an explanation of the NIBRS crimes that were reported in 2015 for the Village of DeForest: Battery/Aggravated Twenty-five incidents of battery were investigated by the DeForest Police Department in Of the twenty-five cases, thirteen were domestic abuse related where charges were filed with the Dane County District Attorney s Office. The remaining cases were also forwarded to the Dane County District Attorney s Office or the suspects received municipal citations. In all cases the suspect was known to the victim. A battery is charged whenever a suspect inflicts any type of injury to a victim to include but not limited to striking the victim, bruising the victim, breaking bones, teeth, or noses per state statute. Child Abuse/Neglect A joint investigation comprised of Dane County Human Services and the DeForest Police Department concluded both cases to be validated. Charges in both cases were referred to the Dane County District Attorney s Office. Domestic/Family Trouble The State of Wisconsin domestic abuse law require a mandatory arrest when criteria between the suspect and victim are meet such as but not limited to having children in common or reside together as adults. All domestic abuse cases are referred to the Dane County District Attorney s Office for charging considerations. Fraud Fraud cases range anywhere from identity theft to the use of stolen credit cards, credit card numbers, or some sort of internet/phone scam. In most instances dealing with credit card numbers and internet/phone scams, the case cannot be solved as it generally links to countries outside the United States. In cases where a suspect can be identified, the case is forwarded to the Dane County District Attorney s Office. Non-Res Burglary A non-residential burglary is a burglary that occurred in a building or other location that is not occupied by people, i.e. a business or storage units. The one non-residential burglary that occurred in the village in 2015 occurred at local businesses. In most of these cases monetary goods or money is stolen, usually by an employee. In most cases businesses burglarized do not have any type of alarm of camera system in place to protect their business. Residential Burglary In 2015 five residential burglaries occurred. One incident was solved and two suspects and charges were referred to the Dane County District Attorney s Office. Two cases were burglaries where forced entry was made through a window and money or items were taken. In both cases there were little to no suspect information of physical evidence to aid in the investigation. The two remaining incidents were reported, but there were suspicious circumstances surrounding the complaint i.e. no forced entry made or no explanation as to how a suspect gained entry to pilfer items. Retail Theft Eight retail theft cases were investigated in the Village of DeForest in In all of the cases arrests were made or suspects were identified. Sexual Assault In these situations the offenders were known to the victim. These cases were forwarded to the Dane County District Attorney s Office and the suspects were prosecuted. ~ 24 ~

26 Sexual Assault of a Child DeForest Police investigated one allegation of sexual assault to a child in This case was investigated with charges referred to the Dane County District Attorney s Office. The suspect was known to the victim and the suspect was an acquaintance. Theft Sixty-eight cases of theft were reported in 2015 to the DeForest Police Department. The majority of the time a suspect is not known to the victim. When a theft crime is committed and the victim is not known to the suspect, it is usually a crime of opportunity, i.e. leaving a vehicle unlocked with valuables inside, a cell phone on a locker room bench, or bicycle unsecured or in the front yard overnight. In instances where a suspect is known, the case is typically closed with some sort of enforcement action. Theft of Auto Three stolen auto cases were investigated by DeForest Police in After lengthy investigations, two cases were substantiated and the suspects were arrested and the vehicles were returned without incident. In both of these cases, the suspect was known to the victim. In the third case, a DeForest Officer on patrol located a vehicle parked on the street that was reported out of the City of Madison as stolen. The vehicle was impounded and turned over to Madison Police. Weapons Offense Two weapons offense incidents were investigated by DeForest Police in Both of these cases were investigated by the DeForest Police School Resource Office (SRO). In these incidents it was discovered that a student had brought a knife or edge weapon to school. One incident resulted in the suspect receiving a municipal citation. Both cases were referred to the DeForest Area School District where the students were reprimanded per school policy. Worthless Checks One case of worthless checks was investigated by DeForest Police in It was reported that the suspect passed a number of worthless checks at a local business. The suspect was identified and charges were referred to the Dane County District Attorney s Office. Respectfully Submitted, Sergeant Robert Berg ~ 25 ~

27 DANE COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY OFFICE REPORT FOR 2015 When crimes are committed in DeForest which violate State and/or Federal statute, the Dane County District Attorney s Office is the deciding factor in charging any and all cases. In 2015, 179 criminal cases were forwarded by the DeForest Police Department and presented to the Dane County District Attorney s Office for charging consideration. Of these 179 cases, 118 physical arrests of suspects were made by the DeForest Police Department where a suspect was booked into the Dane County Jail. The illustrations below show the prosecuting decisions for the Village of DeForest cases and the comparables of cases from other agencies in the Dane County area. The chart below illustrates the result, or how a case referred to the Dane County District Attorney s Office was adjuticated by their office. As you can see the majoirty of cases, or 27%, remained held open at the time of this report. This could be for any number of reasons to include but not limited to, the case was currently procceeding through the District Attorney approval process, motions had been filed and the case was not yet resolved, or a pending plea offer was in process at the the time of this report. What is notable by this chart is that 28% of cases that were referred by the DeForest Police Department and charged by the Dane County District Attorney s Office resulted in some form of conviction imposed by the court ranging from a fine to prison time. Charge Dispositions for DeForest PD's 2015 Referrals Prison 6 Extended Supervision 6 Probation 22 Jail 27 Imposed and Stayed 4 License Revoked 13 Fort/Fine/Costs 67 Filed/Open 108 **NOTE** There may be duplicative counts here as charges can have more than one disposition type. ~ 26 ~

28 Based on the information received from the Dane County District Attorney s Office, the light orange area illustrates the number of top level charge, or most severe charge, which each agency forwarded. For example, the DeForest Police Department forwarded 65 non-domestic felony charges to the Dane County District Attorney s Office. Of those 65 charges, 46 felony charges were issued, 11 charges were re-issued as a misdemeanor, 4 charges were declined, 4 charges went directly to Deferred Prosecution, 1 charge was pending, and 2 charges were read in. The above illustration shows that of the 179 top level charge, most sever charge, that the DeForest Police Department forwarded to the Dane County District Attorney s Office, approximately 74.8% of the cases were prosecuted. ~ 27 ~

It should also be noted that the second table reflects the number of ALL charges referred and not just the most severe charge as displayed in the first table. ~ 28 ~

30 The above illustration represents the total number of charges that the DeForest Police Department forwarded to the Dane County District Attorney s Office in It is important to point out that one defendant can be charged with multiple crimes stemming from one incident. For instances, if a defendant is arrested for Domestic Battery and is on bail for another crime, they are charged with Domestic Battery and Bail Jumping. This situation would result in 2 charges reported on the above illustration. In this illustration you will note that 651 charges were referred to the District Attorney in As noted at the bottom of the illustration, 371 charges were filed stemming from 31 cases for the same 6 defendants in Subtracting these charges you will find that 280 charges were referred in 2015 which is about average compared to same size agencies in Dane County. Definitions Issued These are cases where charges were pursued by the Dane County District Attorney s Office. Amended In these cases the District Attorney s Office reviewed the case and changed the referred criminal charge to another for suitable charge. Consolidated In these cases the suspect had another case pending and the two cases were joined together to be prosecuted. Direct Referral (DPP) These are cases in which the DA s office makes a deal with the suspect and holds their charges in abeyance for a specified period of time. The suspect is later charged if the suspect commits more crimes or charges are dismissed if the suspect complies with plans agreed upon by the DA and suspect. No Prosecution These cases were declined to be prosecuted by the Dane County District Attorney s Office. This could be for various reasons to include but not limited to lack of physical evidence i.e. a suspect s refusal for a blood draw in a criminal OWI case, the victim withdrawing their complaint, the DA did not feel they could prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, or lack of resources in the DA s office. Pending These are cases that are charged and currently going through the court process. Read In These charges or cases are in situations where the suspect pleads to a greater or lesser charge and the accompanying charge is stated in open court as record, but the suspect is not charged as part of a plea agreement. Special Prosecution In these cases there were circumstances where there was a conflict of interest in prosecuting the case and the case was prosecuted by another district attorney s office. ~ 29 ~

31 Subsumed These charges were joined with other more serious cases. Imposed/Stayed - In these situations a judge will order that a defendant is subject to prison time, but will not order the defendant into prison, but make a deal that if a defendant completes a certain amount of probation time; they do not have to serve time in actual prison. Charge Dismissed but Read In In these instances a specific charge is brought forward in court, but usually due to the defendant pleading to a more severe charge. Example: a defendant is charged with Battery and Bail Jumping. The defendant enters into a plea deal where the defendant pleads guilty to the Battery charge, and the DA agrees to have the charge of Bail Jumping acknowledged in court, but dismiss the charge.

33 TRAINING The DeForest Police Department strives to provide effective, top notch training for its employees. Our officers are well trained as each officer receives a minimum of 40 hours of interdepartmental in-service training per year. Officers also attend different specialized trainings and on average, each officer receives between hours of in-service and specialized training per year. This greatly exceeds the state s minimum requirement of 24 hours of training per officer per year. February/March In Service Taser Recertification and Weapons Qualification This in service consisted of Taser recertification where officers received classroom instruction and scenario based situations which tested officer s decision making ability and use of the Taser. Officers took part in a handgun qualification course and other firearms courses at the Madison Training Academy.

34 April/ May In Service Firearms, Mental Health, and Fingerprinting Officers took part in handgun and rifle courses at the Dane County Training Center. Officers received training in mental health contacts and also received refresher training in fingerprinting. Instructor Wahl with Investigator Schaefer and Officer Ritzema during Firearms Training July In-Service Active Shooter Training Active Shooter training took place at the DeForest High School in This training allows officers to become familiar with the different schools and their layout. This training is possible because of the strong working relationship between our department and the DeForest Area School District. This training consisted of tactical responses with anywhere from two to four officer teams. Officers used the department tactical helmets and tactical vests which are currently carried in each squad car. Officers also continued to use the department s airsoft guns to make training as realistic as possible. Department officers were tasked with identifying active shooters and moving towards them, asked to engage multiple adversaries, received room clearing training, and worked on tactical team formation and movement. We also had many volunteers who served as teachers and students to make training as realistic as possible. DeForest Fire and EMS participated in training this year as we implemented training on warm zones and tactical medical care. September/ October In Service Firearms and Fair and Impartial Policing Officers received training on handgun and rifle courses which continued to focus on moving while shooting at the Dane County Training Center. Officers also received training on Fair and Impartial Policing after the department certified one of our officers in this topic. ~ 33 ~

35 Officer Hughes teaches department staff about Fair and Impartial Policing November In Service Firearms and Less Lethal Officers took part in handgun courses which continue to focus on shooting and moving at the Madison Training Center. Officers were re-certified in the use of our less lethal shotguns and also received scenario based training in deployments of this tool. Investigator Schaefer and Officer Hughes taking part in a less lethal shotgun training scenario ~ 34 ~

36 Officers receive instruction during a firearms training course Blueboard Online Training Throughout 2015, department staff also received monthly instruction on numerous topics using Blueboard. Blueboard is an online site which allows for instruction similar to taking online classes at a university. The benefit to this method of training is that training staff can create assignments and staff is able to view training and complete tests when they have available time during their shifts. The topics covered during the year included Department Policy Review, Use of Force Review, Less Lethal Review, Taser Review, Concealed Carry Training, Emergency Vehicle Operation Training, and Pursuit Policy Review.

41 ANNUAL FLEET REPORT 2015 The DeForest Police Department maintains nine vehicles, which includes five marked squads used by officers on five shifts, twenty four hours per day as well as a squad for the SRO (School Resource Officer) during the day. This vehicle also serves as a back-up vehicle when one of the primary patrol vehicles is receiving maintenance or repairs. The patrol sergeants now operate a marked patrol vehicle that will be rotated in with the patrol units to maintain consistent mileage. The investigations unit operates an unmarked vehicle. The Lieutenant and Chief each have an assigned unmarked vehicle for administrative purposes as well as to respond to afterhour emergencies from home, in addition to situations were additional vehicles are needed such as traffic grants, special events, and traffic control. The police department also has a couple special use vehicles including an all-electric neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV) that is used for special events, public relations, and park trail patrol. The department also has a surveillance vehicle for investigations. In addition, the department operates one police mountain bike for public interaction events and bike safety presentations. The DeForest Police Department has moved to the Ford Police Interceptor Utility model as its primary patrol vehicles. This vehicle has become the most popular police vehicle in the United States due to its safety, performance, room, and all-wheel drive. The department now consists of five Ford Utilities that have a graphics package designed with heavy input from the officers for visibility, department recognition, and village promotion. The village logo is proudly displayed on all of our new squads. Uniformity of the patrol fleet is desired as it can give the appearance of more presence in the community when all the squads look the same. We will be phasing in the Ford Police Utilities over the next few years for all of our patrol vehicles for uniformity as well as having an outstanding warranty of 100,000 miles versus 36,000. The marked patrol vehicles averaged 77 miles a day for the year, with an average mileage of 28,100 per year; a reduction from last year. This could be attributed to patrol patterns as well as more calls for service that are taking more officer time. Past years: 2014: 79 miles a day / 28,670 annual miles 2013: 96 miles a day / 36,600 annual miles 2012: 88 miles a day/ 32,300 annual miles 2011: 83 miles a day/ 30,300 annual miles With fuel prices always an ever prevalent issue, patrol miles are closely monitored. Changes to patrol practices have been implemented to attempt to save fuel such as more stationary patrol, breaking the village into beats when more than one officer was working and setting a soft ceiling of 50 miles of patrol per officer per shift to try and reduce fuel use was the first full year of this operation and we may be seeing the results of that. In addition, with additional staffing, officers are not covering a larger area by themselves. However, we are always trying ~ 40 ~

42 to balance costs of patrol due to fuel use with the needs of a highly visible patrol fleet to deter crime and promote traffic safety. In 2015, we used 10,278 gallons of fuel at a yearlong average pump cost of $2.36 a gallon. Our total fuel cost for the year was $22,442 after government discounts. Past year s comparisons: 2014: 10,971 gallons, at an average cost of $3.33 a gallon. $34,600 total 2013: 10,850 gallons, at an average cost of $3.48 a gallon. $37,800 total 2012: 12,562 gallons, at an average cost of $3.59 a gallon. $42,777 total 2011: 12,719 gallons, at an average cost of $3.51 a gallon. $42,519 total Normal maintenance costs totaled $12,850. This includes oil changes, tires, brakes, batteries, and miscellaneous repairs. A considerable amount of time is spent maintaining the fleet from not only normal vehicle maintenance and repairs, but also keeping the ever-growing complex internal technologies running in proper order. A police vehicle has become a very complex piece of equipment with a laptop computer that not only operates a Computer Aided Dispatch system that must be interfaced with an aircard modem, but web based DOT interfaces for running people and vehicles as well as a citation issuing system. In addition, there is a squad video system, radar units, 2-way police radios, emergency lighting, and numerous other pieces of necessary equipment that must be in perfect working order for efficiency and safety purposes. Respectfully submitted, Lieutenant Daniel Furseth ~ 41 ~

43 GENERAL INVESTIGATIONS The DeForest Police Department investigation division is comprised of one full-time Detective Sergeant, one appointed Investigator, and one part time Detective. The Detective Sergeant oversees the investigation unit and reports directly to the Lieutenant of Police. The main responsibility of the investigation unit is to investigate violations of Municipal, State, and Federal ordinances/laws. Some of the other duties of the unit include, but are not limited to, the maintenance of the department s evidence room and court officer responsibilities. It is the Sergeant s responsibility that the unit continues to stay up to date with ever changing case laws and current investigative tools and techniques. The investigation unit is also responsible for maintaining partnerships with all Federal, State, and local law enforcement and prosecuting agencies. In 2015 the Village of DeForest Police Department became affiliated with the State of Wisconsin Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force. The task force is monitored and controlled by the Office of Juvenile and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) within the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). The Village of DeForest Police Department investigates child internet cases with the assistance and direction of the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation s ICAC Unit. The mission of the National ICAC Program and its affiliates is: The Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Program (ICAC) helps state and local law enforcement agencies develop an effective response to technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and Internet crimes against children. This support encompasses forensic and investigative components, training and technical assistance, victim services, prevention and community education. The Internet Crimes Against Children Program (ICAC) is a national network of 61 coordinated task forces representing more than 3,500 federal, state, and local law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies. These agencies are engaged in both proactive and reactive investigations, forensic examinations, and criminal prosecutions. By helping state and local agencies develop effective, sustainable responses to online child victimization including responses to child sexual abuse images. The ICAC Program has increased law enforcement s capacity to combat technology facilitated crimes against children at every level. The ICAC Program was developed in response to the increasing number of children and teenagers using the internet and other technology, the proliferation of child sexual abuse images available electronically, and the heightened online activity by predators seeking unsupervised contact with potential underage victims. Because ICAC Members understand that arrests alone cannot resolve the problem of technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation, the ICAC Program is also dedicated to training law enforcement officers and prosecutors, as well as educating parents and youth about the potential dangers of online activity. Below are examples of general investigations that the DeForest Police Department and its officers investigated in ~ 42 ~

44 In April 2015 the DeForest Police Department was made aware that several students from the DeForest Area High School were possibly involved in maintaining, sharing, and selling nude images of underage females. Due to the magnitude of the investigation, the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) division was contacted and the DeForest Police Department assisted with the investigation. At the time of this report the case was still being actively investigated. In August of 2015 a physician with UW Children s Hospital Child Protection Program contacted the DeForest Police Department and indicated that an infant child had reported to their emergency room with a suspicious injuries to their collar bone. Investigators conducted several interviews with assistance of UW Children s Hospital Child Protection Program doctors and Dane County Child Protective Services. It was determined through interviews that the child s father potentially had broken the child s collar bone out of frustration while changing the child. Charges were filed with the Dane County District Attorney s Office for Child Abuse-Recklessly Cause Great Bodily Harm and are pending court proceedings. In August 2015 the DeForest Police were made aware that two juvenile suspects were potentially planning an attack on a DeForest Area School. It was learned that the suspects had potentially purchased items to construct improvised explosive devices and that the items were possibly housed at one suspect s residence in Dane County. The Dane County Sheriff s Office was contacted and the Village of DeForest Police assisted with the investigation. It was also learned during the investigation that the subjects intended on conducting the attack during the first week of school, therefore the DeForest Area School District was contacted and school sessions were suspended for a short time so that the schools could be checked for safety reasons. A search warrant was conducted on one suspect s residence, where potential improvised explosive device materials were located. Charges were filed with the Dane County District Attorney s Office for Felony Possession of Improvised Explosive Devices. The suspects pleaded guilty to the charge and were placed on the Juvenile Diversion Program. In September of 2015 investigators were dispatched to St. Mary s Hospital by doctors with UW Children s Hospital Child Protection Program reporting that a toddler had been examined with suspicious bruising to his body. Investigators conducted several interviews with the assistance of UW Children s Hospital Child Protection Program doctors and Dane County Child Protective Services. It was determined that the child s father had struck the child leaving the injuries. Charges of Physical Abuse of Child were filed with the Dane County District Attorney s Office. The father was placed in the First Offenders Program. In November of 2015 the DeForest Police Department were dispatched to a report of a strong armed robbery that occurred at a local gas station. It was reported that a male subject wearing a mask approached the cashier, made an inference to having a weapon, and demanded money from the register. The suspect fled the scene with an undetermined amount of money. No one was injured during this incident. At the time of this report this case was still under investigation. ~ 43 ~

45 In November of 2015 it was reported to investigators that a female physical therapist had possibly been sexually assaulted by a patient at a local clinic. Investigators conducted several interviews and it was also learned that second optional victim was identified as possibly being sexually assaulted by the same male. Charges were filed with the Dane County District Attorney s Office and a warrant was issued for the suspect s arrest for charges of 2 counts of 4 th Degree Sexual Assault. At the time of this report the suspect was still at large. Over the course of 2015, investigators investigated ten death investigations. Of the ten death investigations completed in 2015, seven were ruled as natural causes, one was ruled accidental due to huffing, and two were drug related. (See drug section of Annual report) Respectfully Submitted, Sergeant Robert Berg ~ 44 ~

46 DRUG INVESTIGATION OVERVIEW The DeForest Police Department continues to aggressively pursue investigations into individuals involved in the trafficking of illegal drugs throughout our community. Large scale drug trafficking investigations are often conducted with the assistance of the Dane County Narcotics and Gangs Task Force, State, and/ or Federal authorities as multi-jurisdictional investigations. This approach has been both fiscally and logistically advantageous for a department of our size as the cost to properly investigate these cases can become immense and logistically prohibitive. The smaller scale drug investigations in our community are most often investigated independent of outside assistance. The Dane County Narcotics and Gang Task Force (DCNAG) is a multi-jurisdictional unit that is comprised primarily of Dane County Sherriff s Office and City of Madison Police Department detectives. Each area municipal police department assigns a police officer or a detective as a liaison to the unit. Currently Sgt. Robert Berg is the assigned liaison to the DCNAG Task Force and Investigator Shawn Schaefer is the designated alternate. As the liaison officers to the unit, it is their responsibility to attend quarterly meetings and training seminars to stay current with Dane County s current methods for combating drug use and the distribution of them. It is also their responsibility to remain current on legal decisions that affect these issues such as search and seizure issues. They are also responsible for managing vital information obtained through the use of informants, surveillance, and citizens concerning DeForest area drug use and trafficking. This information is used to develop an investigative outline that considers the legal, logistic, and safety aspects of the investigation that may conclude to a successful prosecution of offenders. In 2015 the DeForest Police Department continued to see drug overdoses and drug related investigations. DeForest Police investigated two drug overdose deaths in 2015, both of which were caused by heroin. In 2015 came change in legislature that allowed police officers to carry and administer nasal Naloxone or NARCAN. Every officer with the DeForest Police Department was trained on the administration and use of NARCAN in the field. Naloxone Hydrochloride Injection is indicated for the complete or partial reversal of opioid depression, including respiratory depression, induced by natural and synthetic opioids including propoxyphene, methadone, and certain mixed agonist-antagonist analgesics: nalbuphine, pentazocine, butorphanol and cyclazocine. DeForest Police Department NARCAN: ~ 45 ~

47 The DeForest Police Department aggressively investigates overdoses and attempts to hold the suspects accountable for delivering the controlled substance that caused the overdose. These types of investigations are very difficult and time consuming and generally require large amounts of circumstantial evidence to be gathered to attempt to prove who provided the drug to the victim. In 2015 the DeForest Police Department continued to see evidence that heroin was present in our community and appears to remain stagnant from previous years. Heroin is rarely found in a person s possession at the user level. Users typically purchase small amounts of heroin and use it very quickly. Anytime heroin is taken off the streets it is a small victory for law enforcement. The DeForest Police Department continues their participation in the national fight against heroin. The following are some examples of the past year s drug investigations that the DeForest Police Department investigated. Over the course of 2015 the DeForest Police Department received an abundance of theft complaints. It was learned through the course of all these investigations that the same two suspects, brothers and heroin addicts, were stealing items and pawning them at area pawn shops. Investigators learned that the suspects were using the proceeds to possibly purchase illegal narcotics. A majority of the items were recovered and returned to the rightful owners. Multiple charges of Identity Theft and Theft were filed with the Dane County District Attorney s Office for both suspects and warrants were issued for their arrest. Both suspects were undergoing the court process for these charges at the time of this report. In July of 2015 the DeForest Police Department was dispatched for a pulseless non-breathing subject. Life saving measures were ended at the scene and the subject was pronounced deceased. Evidence collected at the scene suggested that the subject overdosed on heroin and this was later confirmed by an autopsy conducted by the Dane County Medical Examiner s Office. At the time of this report this case was still under investigation with several suspects identified. In November of 2015 the DeForest Police Department was dispatched for a pulseless nonbreathing subject. Upon arriving on scene it was determined that the subject had been deceased for a period time. After conducting a search of the residence, illegal narcotics were located and later confirmed by the Wisconsin Crime Lab to be heroin. At the time of this report this was still being actively investigated. In 2015 the Village of DeForest Police Department investigated a total of 78 drug related offenses. Of these 78 cases, 13 cases were referred to the Dane County District Attorney s Office for charging considerations. In many drug related cases, the Village of DeForest has municipal ordinances for violations such as possession of drug paraphernalia or possession of small amounts of marijuana. In these cases the subject is generally issued a municipal citation and is subject to local court proceedings. In the event a subject is found to be in possession of a drug, prescription, or other drug that is governed under the Federal Drug Schedule in State ~ 46 ~

48 Statute 961, these cases are referred for criminal charging considerations and subject to the criminal court process. Educating our youth and community of the dangers and prevalence of drugs, specifically prescription pills and heroin, remained a vital tool in our opiate suppression efforts throughout The DeForest Police Department continues to provide presentations on opiate abuse to schools and community groups. In 2015 the DeForest Police Department continued its participation in the prescription drug take back initiative. The program is designed to provide citizens with a safe disposal method of unwanted or unused prescription medication in an attempt to avoid dangerous drugs from being diverted to users who weren t prescribed the medications.

49 SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER K-12 SUMMARY The DeForest Police Department, in partnership with the DeForest Area School District, staffs a School Resource Officer (SRO) who divides their time between the DeForest High School, DeForest Middle School, Yahara Elementary and Eagle Point Elementary. I have been in this role since the fall of 2013 and currently in the middle serving my third year. My responsibilities as the SRO include but are not limited to handling issues involving school safety, incident response, case investigation, student education, community presentations and relationship building. During the school years, the transition from relationship building to assisting as an educational influence has increased. From the elementary level to the high school age students, the SRO has been increasing their presence and connection in the classroom settings. This opportunity has been heavily supported by the educators, counselors and administration of each building. From speaking in health classes about the dangers of drugs and alcohol to digital communications where we talk about safe actions online, the opportunity to provide a positive influence in the school community has been well received. Parents have also been given the opportunity to learn about some of the social influences their kids are being exposed to. In December 2015 an Internet Safety Presentation was put on at the DeForest High School s Performing Arts Center. From the participants in the audience to the people watching the event online, the content and information was presented resulting in a positive response. That event has culminated into more open discussion with parents and the creation of a parent round table group where parents can openly communicate about the things they are experiencing with their kids. Following the completion of my second year as the SRO I have seen an increase in the need for more education in the community for parents and students who are involved the digital world. As the older generations takes a slower approach to technology, the youth today are jumping right in and being exposed to dangerous and inappropriate content without the appropriate training of filters. With technology taking over every aspect of our lives I have been focused on making sure parents and students are getting introduced at a similar pace and educated about safe actions online. I look forward to continue to serve as the SRO for the DeForest Police Department /DeForest Area School District. I will maintain my focus on building positive relationships with the students, staff and community as a liaison between our youth and law enforcement while maintaining my focus on safety. Respectfully Submitted; Brian Johnson School Resource Officer (SRO) Statistics: Case Numbers: 59 Citations: 39 Arrests/Emergency Detentions: 5 ~ 48 ~

52 CRIME PREVENTION / COMMUNITY POLICING 2015 The DeForest Police Department s goal is to provide a safe and crime free community. To be crime free is a very high benchmark to reach in our current world. However, by being an active partner with our residents when it comes to crime prevention and crime reporting, we all make DeForest the safe community that it is. Forming these partnerships takes time and trust. The community must know that its police are an extension of themselves. We are your friends, co-workers, neighbors, and allies. We take our kids to the same schools, shop at the same store, play in the same parks, and want the best for our families and for our community. In return for that trust from the community, our department must work to be open, honest, and ethical. By following our department Code of Conduct and the Law Enforcement Oath of Office, we know that our community will work with us, shoulder to shoulder, to fight crime and make DeForest a great place to live and work. Law enforcement across the country has been the subject of much discussion over the last year and has been under great scrutiny in certain communities. Some community activists have even called for no law enforcement presence in their neighborhoods. One can only imagine the chaos that would result without law and order. Fortunately, those demands are often the exception to the desires of the rest of a community. The DeForest Police Department works hard to prevent crime from happening in the first place. Prevention is the absolute most cost effective way to reduce crime. The criminal justice system is stressed to the max at all levels. With that stress, criminals may not get the punishment that we often feel they deserve. The fact is it takes many rounds of contact with various levels of the justice system before most suspects are ever incarcerated for anything other than major felonies. Protect and Serve. These two words are usually synonymous with the image of the lone police officer on patrol late at night keeping watch on his community. However, reality is that no officer can be everywhere at once to protect a community. The responsibility to make a community safe is shared between the police and its citizens. One cannot exist without the other. Citizens are the key to making a community safe, as they are also the eyes and ears to report crime. Even though officers are trained to spot trouble, they are not on every street at the same time. They do however respond quickly to calls to help and to suspicious and criminal activity. However, that can only happen when residents notify us. Prevention comes from education and the department tries to reach out to as many people as possible to try to prevent problems from happening. Numerous talks to different community groups are given each year by the police department as to how to prevent crimes. The department gladly speaks to PTO organizations, local business groups, financial institutions, or even individual residents who want to learn more about how to make themselves or their homes safer. Drugs are a huge problem for any community. The heroin and opiate problem that has plagued our area has seemed to have leveled off a bit, but is still a major issue. Enforcement is only one element, but even law enforcement knows that the key is prevention through education. The more young people we can reach to show how drugs can ruin their lives, the more we can ~ 51 ~

53 prevent the damage done later in life. By reaching out to our schools with educational programs on the dangers of drug use, we can try to prevent young people from even experimenting with drugs and alcohol. Another prevention measure to try to keep the growing abuse of prescription drugs is through Drug-Take Back programs. In 2015, the DeForest Police Department collected over 80 pounds of unused medications during the National Drug Take-Back day, held twice a year. Numerous pills of very dangerous drugs were safely collected and destroyed, thus preventing their abuse and or improper disposal that can affect the environment. The DeForest Police Department works very hard to promote community policing and goes above and beyond other communities to provide services our residents expect. Examples include performing numerous business and residential checks. After hours, business doors are checked to make sure that they are locked and that the business is in order. Officers performed over 3094 business checks in 2015 resulting in 98 unlocked doors or other irregularities being discovered. Residents appreciate the level of service that they get in keeping their homes safe. The children of our community are our greatest asset. Keeping them safe is everyone s responsibility. Every year, members of the department give numerous presentations on child safety to parents. These presentations give parents the truth about how to keep their kids safe, while also allowing children to have fun and be trusting of adults while still allowing them to be kids. Topics covered include checking out daycare providers, strangers, what to do if kids get lost, internet safety, bike safety, sexual abuse prevention, and communication to name a few. In addition to everyday activities, our department also promoted several other special details to help promote safety and cooperation, including: CSI DeForest in the Park For several years now, the DeForest Police Department in cooperation with DeForest Parks and Recreation Department, host a summer program called CSI DeForest after the popular Crime Scene Investigations TV series. Young detectives get to dust and collect fingerprints, do a field search, collect fake blood for DNA, cast footwear impressions, photograph evidence, and package it all up for court. Over 20 kids signed up for this great program. The feedback from kids and parents has made this summer program extremely popular. The partnership with DeForest Parks and Recreation is second to none and continues to demonstrate that DeForest is all about cooperation and COMMUNITY! ~ 52 ~

54 Coffee with a Cop In later 2013, we began a new program called Coffee with a Cop. Hosted at the DeForest Family Restaurant, officers do two things; pour coffee and talk to people. This hugely successful program gives officers another venue to meet and chat with our residents in a friendly and stress free environment with no agendas or speeches. Officers get to know the residents that they serve and the residents get to know the officers who patrol their communities. Feedback was very positive with people thanking us for taking the time to listen as well as answering questions that they always wanted to ask an officer. Family Fun Night 2015 was the 6th year of our popular Public Safety Family Fun Night. This event at Firemen s Park is free to families with prizes, food, and drinks. Families get to have fun with representatives from several police agencies, fire departments, EMS, and Med-Flight to name a few. It is stress free for parents as they can leave their wallets at home and just have fun with their kids while learning about how to stay safe through community policing and crime prevention while getting to meet the officers. ~ 53 ~

55 Mock Crash The DeForest Police Department continues to spearhead the mock crash that takes place prior to high school graduation. The event shows the dangers of the three leading causes of fatal crashes, impaired driving, speeding, and failure to wear seatbelts. The mock crash features not only a lifelike re-enactment of a fatal crash, but also thought provoking speeches from not only victims and survivors of fatal OWI crashes, but even those who have killed another from drunk driving. Every year, the event gets more intense, with the most realistic crash seen even by veteran public safety officials. The amount of work and planning is daunting, but in the end, we believe that we have saved numerous lives because young drivers walk away with the message; that they have a choice to drive safely. ~ 54 ~

57 CITIZEN S POLICE ACADEMY 2015 The DeForest Police Department held its 2 nd annual citizen s police academy in The academy provided 12 members of the DeForest community a hands-on look at services the Village of DeForest Police Department provides the community. The academy is designed to increase relationships and understanding between citizens and police officers through education. With a better understanding of these tasks, it becomes easier for police and citizens to find realistic solutions to neighborhood problems. The academy was a ten-week course and took place on Monday evenings from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The academy offered attendees instruction on topics such as patrol operations, criminal investigations, drugs, community programs, defense and arrest tactics, fire department equipment and demo, and use of force. Every member of the Academy also had a chance to ride-along with an officer for four hours. We were lucky enough to have attendee Jeff Unger write a weekly article in the DeForest Times Tribune chronicling the student s adventures each week. Graduates of the 2015 Citizen s Police Academy pictured below with Chief Henze and Lt. Furseth: (Front Row L to R)- Carol Rowe, Cindy Grinde, Sue Whooley, Myra Josephson, Jeanne Natysin (Back Row L to R)- Pam Walker, Rob Kratoska, Tayler Seeley, Kay Preston, Dave Norby, Jessica Ruplinger, and Jeff Unger. ~ 56 ~

59 VOLUNTEERS IN POLICING The Volunteers in Policing (VIP) program acknowledges and facilitates the important contribution of volunteers to the delivery of police services to the community and the efforts they make to ensure a safer place to live. The Volunteers in Policing (VIP) program is a huge asset for our community. The VIP performs tasks that do not necessarily need a sworn officer to perform, allowing officers to direct more time to other more pressing duties. Larry and Barb patrol the parks in the marked police electric vehicle. They provide the visual presence representing the police department for providing safety and awareness. Larry and Barb also assist with removal of illegal signs and shuffling department squads for vehicle maintenance. They continue helping to educate the residents on the usage of the pedestrian flashing lights. We are glad Larry and Barb joined our team and enjoy working with them. We are always looking to expand the participation in this program. Barbara Atkinson Larry Atkinson ~ 58 ~
