Training is an important part of organizational development so that we are providing the best service for our residents.

21 Records Section The Records Section is staffed Monday through Friday, 8: a.m. to 5: p.m. The Records Section staff is comprised of three full-time records assistants who report directly to the police services manager. They maintain communications with police officers, DU-COMM (our E provider), and other agencies via various computer systems, radios, and telephones. Records assistants maintain various certifications and complete in-house training offerings as well as outside training events. The Records Section is responsible for verifying all incident reports, arrest reports, accident reports, the storing and gathering of crime statistics, as well as overseeing all inquiries and requests for copies of records as well as any Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests made.

Crime Reports.com, a pro-active crime prevention tool, enables our residents to track incidents occurring in their neighborhood in near real-time is also part of the Records function. This is helping our residents to be more aware of what is happening near their homes, and this helps them help us by reporting something which may help solve one of these crimes. Residents can also sign up to be notified by of these events To assist them in maintaining the greatest efficiency for our customers, we use various technologies to provide cost-effective management of our records. Officers reports and tickets are submitted electronically for approval and ultimately Police Records Assistants feed into the DuPage County Records Management System (NetRMS) for final approval and storage as well as the Circuit Clerk of the Courts and local Adjudication records systems. All of the technology advances we enjoy have facilitated a reduction in paper costs, elimination of data entry duplication, and a significant decrease in storage requirements. Our promise is to embrace the Police Department s Mission and Values while serving the citizens of Roselle. Page 19

24 Volunteers in Police Service The Roselle Police Department Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) program was again active in 216. The purpose of VIPS is to provide support for various functions within the Roselle Police Department. Our volunteers are an important part of the organization and help to increase police responsiveness and service delivery. The Roselle Police Department has 16 volunteers. They have helped in many ways to include: data entry, traffic safety, Neighborhood Watch, crime prevention, special projects, and community events, carnival, Run for the Roses, Rose Parade, Fourth of July fireworks, Turkey Trot, Cocoa Crawl, and Shop with a Cop. Volunteers provide many intangible benefits that make it difficult to quantify the value of a volunteer. Independent sector calculates the dollar value of a volunteer in Illinois at about $25.95 an hour. This translates to $18,658.5 based on the number of volunteer hours for 216. The Roselle Police Department is fortunate to have these volunteers on staff. We are grateful for their dedication and service to the community.

The program offers hands-on training in fields related to law enforcement for those who are interested in a law enforcement career. Members are comprised of young men and women between the ages of 14 and 21 years. As part of the program, members have the opportunity to gain some insight in to the role of a police officer. Throughout this past year, several Explorers have come and gone as several new Explorers have applied and achieved the position of Roselle Police Explorer. Several former Roselle Police Explorers have been hired as police officers and community service officers throughout the area. Roselle Police Explorers meet at the Police Department twice a month on Mondays. Some of the topics the Explorers receive training in are: Traffic Stops/Felony Traffic Stops Criminal Law and Procedures CPR/AED Firearms Safety and Range Training Honor Guard Drill The Roselle Police Explorer Post is supervised by Sergeant Timothy Cook.

27 Part I Offenses Five-year Comparison The Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reporting System requires us to report eight Part I Offenses as a measure of crime trends. The crime rate is the number of Part I Crimes per 1, residents. The number of Part 1 Offenses in 216 increased from 215. The increase in Part I Offenses in 216 can be primarily attributed to the increase in burglary and theft reports. Part I Offenses continue to be relatively low in the Village of Roselle.

30 False Alarms Five-year Comparison Roselle village code requires all alarm holders to register their alarm system with the Village of Roselle. In 216, the Police Department responded to 438 alarms.

37 Overview Itasca/Roselle Peer Jury The Roselle/Itasca Peer Jury Program is used as an alternative solution to divert first-time juvenile offenders (under the age of 17) from formal court action. The program is designed to allow youth officers to take a more positive approach to holding teenage offenders accountable for their actions. Only misdemeanors and status offenses qualify for peer jury. Peer jury does not determine guilt or innocence. The peer jury is supervised by Officer Forrest and Officer Schwytzer of the Roselle Police Department and Officer Duda of the Itasca Police Department. Also, two facilitators, Renee Poulopoulos and Laura Maglio (Assistant State s Attorney for Kane County) volunteer their time to assist with the program. The Peer Jury Program is sanctioned by the DuPage County Juvenile Court system and State of Illinois. The Peer Jury Program Students under the age of 18 from Roselle and Itasca How It Works First, the juvenile must admit to having committed the offense. The juvenile and his/her parent then will agree to participate in the Peer Jury Program. The juvenile and his/her parent will be issued a date where they will appear before the panel of teenage jurors. An officer or facilitator will read the charges to the jury. The panel of jurors will then ask questions and discuss the charges with the offender. The jury will deliberate and agree on an appropriate disposition based on the severity of the crime and the attitude of the offender. The offender and his/her parent will return one month later to ensure successful completion of the requirements. Common requirements include drug counseling (provided by the high schools), reflection papers, letters of apologies, and chore logs. If the offender does not successfully complete the requirements, the offender is petitioned to the DuPage County Juvenile Court system. The Jury The jury is composed of high school-aged volunteers from Lake Park East and West campuses. Recruitment begins at the beginning of each school year. Students are required to complete an application and participate in a short oral interview. Students must demonstrate a high moral character and not have any disciplinary issues. Each student attends a mandatory training session and are held to a standard of confidentiality and professionalism. There were a total of 1 cases referred to Peer Jury in 216 (9 from Roselle and 1 from Itasca).
