5 Dear Residents: 2016 was a busy year and I am proud of the efforts made by the police department staff. One of the great challenges for the Police Department this past year was complying with a state law which required consolidating dispatch services by July 1, The Village of Kenilworth along with the Villages of Glencoe, Northfield and Winnetka researched ways to comply with the law while still keeping the quality of our dispatch services very high. In the end, all four municipalities agreed that utilizing the Village of Glenview s Consolidated Dispatch Center for police dispatching was in the best interest of our residents and first responders. A transition team has been working on all of the technological and administrative needs to transition to this new dispatch environment in July of Kenilworth residents have come to expect a high level of service when they call the Police Department and it will be our goal in 2017 to make this change as seamless for our residents as possible. The heavy construction activity in the walking routes to the Joseph Sears School presented challenges for the Police Department this past year. Each morning we conducted a survey of what kind of construction activity was taking place and where, so that officers could be deployed to address safety and traffic concerns. I am proud of our efforts to provide parents and school officials with confidence that we were out in force to keep the children safe and keep necessary travel routes to the school flowing as best as possible. The Village Board and tax payers in every community expect government entities to operate efficiently. Each year, every line item in the budget is carefully managed. The Police Department strictly managed our expenses and finished 2016 under budget. Another expectation among tax payers is that their community will be safe. Kenilworth is one of the safest communities in the state. There was a 25% reduction in crime in Kenilworth in 2016 when compared to the average of the previous four years, despite a significant crime pattern present on the north shore. Crime in Kenilworth decreased for both the more serious Part I crimes and the less serious Part II crimes. In 2016, the Police Department developed a written emergency facility evacuation plan for the Village Hall, based on foreseeable types of emergencies. Additionally, the Police Department instituted a traffic incident management program which provides first responders with a best practices model that improves their safety at traffic incident scenes. Also, the Police Department formalized our work performance documentation process by developing a behavior observation program. Supervisors utilize checklists for several identified high risk job activities to ensure department policies are being followed correctly is sure to present new challenges for the Police Department. We will continue to do our best to anticipate and identify challenges in advance and be proactive in our efforts to keep the Police Department moving forward in the most effective and efficient means possible. The Kenilworth Police Department strives to always improve the level of service we provide to our residents and look forward to working with residents to identify new ways to improve police services in All the best, David Miller Chief of Police 3

Research from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Geological Survey revealed that there are detectable antibiotics and steroidal hormones in rivers, lakes, and wells caused by people flushing their medications down the toilet or putting them down the sink. Additionally, sharps can cause needle-sticks and health issues if thrown away in the garbage or put in the water system. Residents are asked to leave their medications in the original containers, to black out their personal information, and to place the containers in a sealed plastic bag. Sharps should be placed in a sealed container such as an empty coffee can. Sharps containers are available at the Police Station free of charge as part of the program. Every year the Kenilworth Police Department collects hundreds of bottles of prescription medication and sharps, keeping this material out of our water supplies and landfills. 16

Cooperating Communities: Glencoe* Glenview Golf Kenilworth* Combined Dispatch Lincolnwood Morton Grove Niles Northbrook Northfield* Skokie Wilmette* Winnetka* *Network 24b agencies Dispatch Consolidation: On June 30, 2015 the Governor signed a law which mandates that by July 1, 2017, any 911 authority serving a population of less than 25,000 shall be consolidated. Since the Act became effective, the Village Manager and Chief of Police have worked with our neighboring communities of Glencoe, Winnetka, and Northfield, who were also impacted by this legislation. A Committee of the Whole meeting was held on Aug. 9th 2016 where the trustees supported the Village moving forward with the recommendations of an independent consultant and authorized the Village Managers to begin contract negotiations with the Village of Glenview for dispatch services. A transition team has been established, including administrative and IT personnel from each police agency and the Village of Glenview, and has been working towards the transition to Glenview dispatch. Kenilworth is on pace to transition to Glenview dispatch by the State mandated deadline of July 1, NIRCL Northeastern Illinois Regional Crime Laboratory (Established 1967) The Northeastern Illinois Regional Crime Laboratory (NIRCL) is a nationally accredited forensic laboratory that serves over 35 local and county police agencies. Services supporting criminal investigation and law enforcement efforts include chemistry, toxicology, serology and fingerprint identification; as well as the examination of questioned documents, firearms and DNA evidence. The NIRCL reports significantly faster turn-around times compared to other area crime laboratories. Rapid forensic response not only provides information on suspects, but can also eliminate persons of interest who were not involved in a crime. The lab also provides expert court testimony, evidence technician training classes for our personnel and destruction services for contraband, ammunition and firearms. All costs are determined using a base fee and formula factoring community population. 24

27 NIPAS The Northern Illinois Police Alarm System (Established 1983) The Northern Illinois Police Alarm System (NIPAS) is a system of mutual-aid for suburban municipal police departments in the Chicago metropolitan area in times of natural disasters. There are currently 68 member agencies participating in the Emergency Services Team and 90 agencies participating in Mobile Field Force. This membership provides for its member agencies a professional, efficient, and cost effective method for responding to crisis situations. Member agencies pay a flat annual fee to participate. Emergency Services Team: The E.S.T. is designed to handle high risk incidents such as barricaded suspects, snipers, and hostage situations using specially trained officers from member agencies. Response is administered by a coordinator and 7 individual teams (Tactical Command, Entry, Perimeter, Marksman/Observer, Negotiations, Support Services, and the Tactical Emergency Medical Support). Current Kenilworth Participation: Sergeant Oscar Padilla (Joined July 2012) In 2016 the Emergency Services Team responded to 22 high risk incidents. Mobile Field Force: The M.F.F. is designed to provide a rapid, organized and disciplined response to civil disturbances, public demonstrations, union conflicts and other events involving large or disorderly crowds. The Mobile Field Force consists of a Field Force Leader, an Executive Officer, Chemical Agent Specialists, Canine Teams, Mounted Police Units, and 6 Squads consisting of a Squad Leader and 7 Officers. There are 90 officers assigned from various agencies in the greater Chicago Metropolitan area. Current Kenilworth Participation: Officer Mark LaBeau (Joined July 2012) In 2016 the Mobile Field Force responded to 5 incidents and was put on standby for 13 incidents. ILEAS Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System (Established 2002) When ILEAS was formed in 2002, it expanded the NIPAS model statewide. Participating agencies execute a signed mutual aid agreement which clearly spell out the risks, liability, authority and cost distribution. This moves the responsibility of calling individual agencies for help from the stricken agency to ILEAS and provides an established platform for potential reimbursement of costs if a state or federal disaster is declared. Member agencies pay a set annual fee to participate. Mutual Aid Car Plan: The ILEAS car plan enables a member community to summon up to 50 additional uniformed police officers and offers foreign language interpretation services, planning and traffic control assistance for dignitary visits and critical incident response training. 25
