1 West Sacramento Police Department Making West Sacramento a Premier City in which to live, work, and play 2016 Annual Report

2 Chief s Message I speak on behalf of all the men and women of the West Sacramento Police Department when I say that you deserve professional, ethical and capable police services. We are committed to developing steadfast partnerships that make West Sacramento a premier city in which to live, work, and play. So it is with integrity and diligence that we work to protect and improve the quality of life in West Sacramento. I am truly honored to lead these talented and dedicated professionals as they valiantly perform their duties as peacekeepers and community service providers. In general, we monitor two significant areas of activity as a measure of effectiveness of the West Sacramento Police Department (WSPD): 1. The extent to which the WSPD impacts criminality in our community, and 2. The quality of services provided by the men and women of the department. Over and above our effectiveness, it is important for us to remember that we must enforce the law consistent with the tenets as set forth by the U.S. and California Constitution. We must comport ourselves in an unbiased manner and act reasonably, appropriately, and compassionately. Ultimately it s about customer service. It s important that we offer a valued service and that our customers- all of our customers- are treated appropriately. Chief Thomas McDonald

6 Constitutional Policing Division The Constitutional Policing Division is Commanded by the Office of the Chief and managed by a Lieutenant whose primary responsibility is to provide general management, direction, and control for the Community Relations Unit, the Professional Standards Sergeant, and the Accreditation Program. Community Relations Unit The Community Relations Unit (CRU) consists of a Sergeant, 6 Senior Lead Officers, a Homeless Outreach Coordinator, and a Police Services Coordinator. One of the responsibilities of the CRU is to disseminate information to the public such as crime information, special events announcements and other Police Department matters. Much of their information is posted on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Nextdoor. The Sergeant of this Unit acts as the Department s Public Information Officer (PIO). The PIO disseminates information to the general public, media, and outside agencies. The PIO is on-call 24 hours a day, and responds to the scene of significant incidents to handle media inquiries. The Police Services coordinator is an integral part of the Community Relations Unit and performs a variety of duties including coordinating crime prevention activities, volunteer programs, community groups, neighborhood watch meetings and other special events. In 2016 the CRU facilitated seven Neighborhood Watch Events, 19 community events, 10 Community meetings and 28 youth outreach events Community Relations Unit Events Summer Night Lights In collaboration with Collings Teen Center, West Sacramento Department of Parks and Recreation, West Sacramento Fire Department, Washington Unified School District, and Yolo County Children s Alliance, the department hosted seven Summer Night Lights Events. The goal of these events was to provide activities for teens and their families to gather together and play games, eat and socialize with friends, neighbors, and police officers. The kids participated in soccer, basketball and baseball games as well as activities like face painting, arts and crafts and a bounce house. The events culminated with a trip to a River Cats Game.

7 2016 Community Relations Unit Events Coffee with a Cop In 2016 the Community Relations Unit hosted six Coffee with a Cop events, which provided an opportunity for the community to come out and get to know the Officers working in their neighborhoods. Police Officers as well as Records Technicians and Volunteers came out to meet the members of the community and answer any questions that they may have. Cops and Clergy The Community Relations Unit formed a Cops and Clergy program in 2016 and two quarterly meetings were held with local faith leaders. This brings together the faith based community with the Police Department to foster relationships and grow community trust. School Visits CRU Officers visited elementary schools throughout the city in 2016 speaking on topics such as bicycle safety and anti-bullying.

8 2016 Community Relations Unit Events Sacramento Kings Camp The CRU also hosted a mini camp for more than 75 West Sacramento youth in conjunction with the Sacramento Kings. National Night Out National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our city a safer, better place to live. The Department visited 15 block parties with 24 Police Department participants. Holiday Festivities The holiday season brought many opportunities for the department to engage with the community. WSPD hosted the annual toy drive, collecting, wrapping, and delivering toys to more than 300 underprivileged children within the city. The Department also hosted its first Shop with a Cop event, taking 20 underprivileged youth on a Christmas shopping spree while paired with an officer.

9 Senior Lead Officers Senior Lead Officers (SLOs) liaise with uniformed patrol officers, community members, business owners, and other stakeholders to identify community issues and solve problems. The goal of every Senior Lead Officer is to create effective and lasting relationships with community members in order to identify problems, prevent crime and create an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect. To facilitate positive interactions, three Senior Lead Officers are permanently assigned a specific geographical area including one for Broderick and Bryte, one for West Capitol Avenue and the State Streets and one for the Southport area. These officers have the responsibility of conducting community outreach to address areas of concern and enhance customer service within their designated areas. Two SLOs are tasked with identifying and addressing issues related to homelessness in partnership with the Homeless Outreach Coordinator. Beat 1 Officer Monterrosa Beat 2 Officer Lombardo Beat 3 Officer Estrada Homelessness Officer Angle Park Watch West Capitol Project Officer Mahaffey Traffic Officer Lang The Senior Lead Officers began a program called Park Watch which is similar to Neighborhood Watch in that it involves partnering with the community to be the eyes and ears with regards to issues in the parks. A Park Watch Captain was identified and a group of citizens coordinated their efforts in monitoring and reporting problematic activities. Based on statistical analysis and community contacts, the project has made a significant impact on crime reduction in the area.

10 West Capitol Avenue Active and Secure The Senior Lead Officers developed strategies to mitigate issues in this target area using a collaborative approach with the Homeless Services Coordinator, City Code Enforcement, the Yolo County District Attorney s Office, Yolo County Mental Health Services, the West Sacramento Chamber of Commerce, local business owners, and various non-profit organizations. This initiative became known as West Capitol Active and Secure. As part of the program, the Police Department began increasing routine foot, bike, and vehicle patrols and special attention was directed towards individuals associated with multiple calls for service. City Code Enforcement increased the number of motel inspections at problematic establishments where blight and criminal activity were present. The SLOs also began regular abandoned shopping cat removal operations. To achieve the community partnership strategy, the SLOs building relationships with and educating business owners about ways to deter undesirable activities at their establishments. Recommendations were made for changes such as improved constructional designs, better lighting, security cameras, graffiti removal, and repairs to fencing. As a result of these efforts, crime has decreased in the target areas. Together Everyone Achieve More (TEAM) In partnership with California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), the Senior Lead Officers launched a program called Together Everyone Achieves More (TEAM). The SLOs and their ABC partners visited establishments to confirm compliance with ABC regulations and discuss ways in which the Police Department can help them mitigate the issues occurring on or near their businesses. The strategies that were developed included increased police presence, educating owners and employees about responsible alcohol sales, and addressing blight and safety issues associated with their properties. The businesses were given sign to display that advertised their participation in the TEAM program. This ongoing relationship building has resulted in a reduction of alcohol related activities at those locations.

11 Illegal Camping Site Clean-Up In 2016 the SLOs took part in a collaborative effort to clean the area of homeless camps and garbage behind the Walmart/IKEA shopping center. A task force was assembled which consisted of members from both department stores, Water Reclamation District 537 (RD537), the Police Services Coordinator and the West Sacramento Chamber of Commerce. The group coordinated cleanup operations in the area south of the business district along the railroad tracks where the area was riddled with tons of garbage and illegal encampments. Besides the blight to the community and damage to the environment, crime had started to rise in the area. Vehicle burglaries, theft from the stores, loitering and trespassing had increased and were attributed to the traffic coming and going from the illegal camps. Personnel from the West Sacramento Police Department, accompanied by Yolo County Mental Health Services and ELICA (a non-profit mental health organization), contacted the illegal campers and offered social service resources. After giving notices to vacate the area, RD537 used their resources along with help from the California Conservation Corps to clean up the camps and trim back the foliage to prevent illegal camps from embedding in this area again. Since then, it has been an area of focus for Police Patrol. The cleaning up of the over grown foliage took place and that has made a significant impact to the crime reduction in the area.

12 Mental Health Clinician The Mental Health Clinician also educates law enforcement professionals to recognize signs of mental illness, intervening preemptively where possible, and connecting individuals with needed social services as follow-up to police response or interaction. Homeless Outreach and Services Coordinator The Homeless Outreach and Service Coordinator is responsible for working with the City s homeless population to help align them with public service and non-profit providers such as the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency. The goal is to secure permanent housing and access to other benefit programs. The Homeless Coordinator also partners with the Mental Health Clinician and together they collaborate with members of the Police Department and community partners to facilitate the delivery of mental health services to those facing a mental health crisis. Homeless Outreach Senior Lead Officers and the Homeless Outreach and Services Coordinator were part of a multi-agency motel taskforce in 2016 to problem solve and address crime on the West Capitol corridor. During this project the SLOs visited the 1000 motel rooms within the city to inspect for code violations and to assist transient individuals in obtaining social services. As a result, twenty-two individuals were permanently housed, 13 children and nine adults. The SLOs also coordinated 23 homeless camp outreaches and 4 multi-agency homeless count events to clean-up illegal encampments within the city and connect the homeless population with social services. In 2016 the Police Department s Homeless Outreach and Services Coordinator and four Police Officers, in partnership with various Yolo County agencies, provided collaboration and security for the National Homeless Count. This effort was done to obtain a census of homeless individuals in the city and the county. These numbers and data were then reported to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which will aid in providing resources to the homeless population.

13 Volunteers in Policing The West Sacramento Police Department Volunteers in Policing Program (V.I.P.S.) is comprised of citizen volunteers over 18 of age. By matching skills with Department needs, the volunteer program is a resource that can improve the Department s effectiveness and efficiency and increase the level of service we can provide to the community. The Department draws on time, talents and experience of its volunteers to allow Officers to better perform their core duties. We attempt to match volunteers to jobs according to their strengths and abilities. Volunteers need no prior experience. Most importantly, VIPs build community relations by giving the public the opportunity to become involved in the day to day activities of their police department. In VIPs perform a variety of duties and assist in various functions of the Police Department including: Providing extra patrol services by vehicle and in bicycle teams at city parks, schools, and businesses. VIPs observe and report hazardous situations, suspicious persons, vehicles and activities, and public nuisances. Assisting with community events and special events sponsored by the Department.

Complaints are presented to the Chief of Police for a final fair and appropriate adjudication and/or sanction, with consideration given to the complainant, the Department, the individual employee, and the public trust. Accreditation Accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) is achieved through independent review by a commission of public safety practitioners and it is considered to be an elite accomplishment. The West Sacramento Police Department has voluntarily elected to participate in a CALEA accreditation process to strengthen crime prevention and control capabilities, establish fair and nondiscriminatory personnel practices, and increase community and staff confidence in our agency. It also helps ensure the Department is adhering to up-to date laws and regulations as well as best practices in law enforcement to achieve professional excellence. The Department will be evaluated against 484 law enforcement standards demonstrated through policies and proofs of compliance. CALEA assessors will have sessions for public comment both in a call-in and live format and those dates will be announced through the Department s public information dissemination processes. The Department participated in a mock on-site inspection in October 2016 and a mock assessment in February The inspection and mock assessment feedback was positive and the formal on-site comprehensive assessment will be conducted in July A follow up panel will occur in November 2017, at the CALEA Conference in Jacksonville Florida and the status of the agency accreditation will be determined at that time.

20 Special Weapons and Tactics (S.W.A.T.) SWAT Teams are specifically trained and equipped to handle situations that are beyond the regular duties of patrol officers, detectives, and investigators. Typically, they respond to high-risk calls, such as serving arrest warrants involving potentially violent suspects, executing search warrants in significant drug trafficking cases, engaging in hostage rescues, and extricating barricaded suspects. SWAT officers from the West Sacramento Police Department are integrated with members of the Davis Police Department to establish one of the two SWAT teams in Yolo County. The position of SWAT team member is a collateral duty which the officers only perform as the need arises. The team trains on high risk tactics every month as mandated to hone their expertise in such areas as marksmanship, dynamic entry techniques, chemical agent deployments, "less than lethal" weapons applications, active shooter responses, night operations, land navigation, and rappelling. Yolo County Bomb Squad (EOD) Bomb disposal is the process by which hazardous explosive devices are rendered safe. The EOD Unit maintains several pieces of specialized equipment, including robots, to render safe potential explosive devices. The Yolo County Bomb Squad is multi-agency entity responsible for all explosives related concerns and calls for service within the cities and unincorporated areas of Yolo County. The Yolo County Bomb Squad consists of three officers from the West Sacramento and Davis Police Departments. The Yolo County Bomb Squad often works closely with the Department s SWAT team.

21 Boating Team The West Sacramento Police Boating Officers conduct boating patrols as an ancillary function to their primary position. They enforce boating safety laws, investigate boating accidents, provide boater safety education, deter criminal activity on and near West Sacramento s waterways, and provide counter- terrorism security for the Port of Sacramento.

New safety equipment was also included in the grant. During the summer of 2016, the Boating Officers issued 12 citations and 16 warnings, provided 7 boating assists, and conducted 26 boat inspections.

22 Community Service Officers Community Service Officers (CSO) report on and investigate violations of laws and ordinances. They respond to calls for service involving burglaries, theft, missing persons, vandalism, and abandoned vehicles. The CSO s obtain statements from victims and witnesses, take photographs and collect physical evidence at crime scenes. This effectually frees up Patrol Officers and Crime Scene Investigators for priority calls for service throughout the City. In 2016 the Department s two Community Service Officers (CSO) responded to 1,500 calls for service. Fleet and Facilities After more than 20 years as a patrol vehicle, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, the Crown Vic, was being discontinued by Ford.

The collaborative efforts of intra department resources along with outside agency alliance brought another serious criminal offender to justice. Y.O.N.E.T The Yolo Narcotic Enforcement Team (YONET) is a specialty unit utilized to combat illicit drug sales in the Yolo County area. The team is comprised of officers from the Woodland, Davis and West Sacramento Police Departments; Yolo Sheriff s Department; California Highway Patrol; and the District Attorney s Office. The mission of this regional task force is to significantly diminish the availability and use of illegal drugs in the city and county boundaries designated by each participating agency s involvement and apprehend the responsible offenders.

25 Special Investigations Unit The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) includes one Sergeant, three Detectives, a Yolo County Probation Officer and a limited term Investigative Analyst. SIU provides specialized investigative support to promote the mission, goals and objectives of the West Sacramento Police Department and the City of West Sacramento. SIU areas of responsibilities include, but are not limited to: crime control/suppression, Probation/Parole Compliance, criminal street gang enforcement, organized crime investigations, prostitution/vice operations, human trafficking investigations, warrant service, street level narcotic enforcement, and issues which require resources beyond the capabilities of a normal department response. SIU works collaboratively with several specialized units and task forces to target violent crime and organized crime in` the city including: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), Yolo County Narcotic Enforcement Team (YONET), Davis Police Department Sexual Assault and Felony Enforcement Team (SAFE), US Marshal s Task Force, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Safe Streets Task Force and the Yolo County Gang Task Force. SIU has worked extensively to expand the department s technical operations capabilities with the deployment of several cutting edge technology-related tools. In 2016 a limited- term Investigative Analyst was assigned to SIU help to implement some of these tools and develop the department s abilities to investigate technology related crime. In 2016, the SIU and ATF completed the remaining investigations and arrests related to an 18 month undercover operation targeting illegal firearms and assault weapons sales. With the assistance of outside agencies, the SIU completed a six month undercover operation targeting street level narcotic sales along the West Capitol Corridor. The operation resulted in 22 arrests. In 2016, there was a significant increase in human trafficking investigations in Yolo County and in West Sacramento. Working collaboratively with the Yolo County District Attorney s Office and other Yolo County agencies, a working group was established to address human trafficking. Agencies conducted six human trafficking operations with four in West Sacramento, one in Davis and one in Woodland. As a result of those operations, six traffickers were arrested and seven victims recovered. In 2017, the SIU plans to continue its efforts to lead the work group in partnership with the District Attorney s Office and further develop our county s response to human trafficking.

26 Crime Analysis The role of the Department s Crime Analyst is to provide timely and accurate analysis in support of the agency s goals of crime reduction and community safety. The Crime Analyst disseminates information used to assist operations personnel in identifying specific and immediate crime trends, patterns, series, sprees and hotspots, providing investigative leads, and clearing cases. Analysis includes associating criminal activity by method of the crime, time, date, location, suspect, vehicle, and other associated factors. COMPSTAT The Police Department utilizes a smart policing model referred to as COMPSTAT (Computerized Statistics), which is a data driven model of policing designed to manage and deploy resources more effectively. It is used to identify trends, develop objectives and employ strategies for the purpose of crime reduction and organizational efficiency. This strategy shifts focus from only reviewing what has already occurred to predicting what will happen. Key principles include; accurate and timely information, rapid deployment, effective tactics, and relentless follow-up and assessment. Through the COMPSTAT model, statistical reports are generated overviewing each week's crime complaints, arrest activity, written reports, crime patterns and hotspots, as well as other pertinent police activities. These reports are reviewed in weekly crime control strategy meetings, increasing the timely information flow between the agency's operational units. The configuration of participants fosters a team approach to problem solving, and ensures that crime and quality of life issues are immediately identified and quickly addressed. Innovative and comprehensive solutions are developed and assigned to the appropriate work units and individuals for implementation. The crime totals are discussed and analyzed by the COMPSTAT Team to determine what actions could be taken by various entities within the department to target the specific problems that are identified each week. In 2016, 66 tasks were assigned to various personnel and groups within the department as a result of the weekly COMPSTAT meetings. Several of the tasks involved public outreach efforts including distribution of fliers to the public in shopping center parking lots, on the Police Department s social media websites and at community neighborhood watch meetings. The focused information shared through COMPSTAT has allowed the department to reverse the upward trend of crimes in many reportable areas including an overall reduction of Part 1 crimes by 15% compared to The chart totals are related to COMPSTAT directed officer productivity.

27 Crime Scene Investigation r court and provide expert testimony. Two full time Crime Scene Investigators (CSI s) and one part time CSI support the Investigations Unit. They examine and photograph crime scenes to collect, process and analyze physical evidence. They perform tests to identify and analyze various types of narcotic and toxic substances; enter latent fingerprint impressions into the computer; make fingerprint comparisons, prepare evidence for analysis by the Department of Justice, such as DNA and trace evidence. They also prepare exhibits and reports f o In 2016 the CSI Team assisted in the investigation of several felony cases involving burglary assault, domestic violence and human trafficking. The CSI Team assisted with processing of twenty five vehicles that were towed for evidentiary analysis. They also responded to ten fatal vehicle accidents for the purpose of collecting and preserving evidence and to document the scene. In several of these cases, they located key evidence that played a major part in the prosecution of the cases. In addition to processing major crime scenes, both Crime Scene Investigators participate in crime scene education for Police Officers, Community Service Officers, and students in the community.

28 Property and Evidence The Property and Evidence Unit consists of one fulltime and one part-time Property and Evidence Technician. The Property and Evidence Technician is responsible for handling all evidence, found property, property for safekeeping and property booked for destruction that comes into the Police Department. The Property and Evidence Technician is also responsible for maintaining the property warehouse and property related data systems. In 2016 the Property and Evidence Unit booked in 3,341 items, catalogued 20,461 digital photos, purged 3,431 items per regulation, and returned 513 items to their rightful owners. Fifty three bicycles were donated to (NCCT) Northern California Construction Training and the Property and Evidence team successfully completed a 100% audit of the property warehouse. Juvenile Unit The Juvenile Unit includes one Youth Diversion Counselor and two School Resource Officers. Prevention of juvenile crime and delinquency is an important goal for the Police Department. The Juvenile Unit works to provide the youth of the city with guidance, support, security and sometimes corrective discipline. They are an integral part of both the educational system and the juvenile justice system and work in partnership with the Washington Unified School District and Yolo County Juvenile Probation.

29 School Resource Officers The primary function of the School Resource Officers (SRO) is the safety and security of the schools within the Washington Unified School District. The Department s two SROs are primarily assigned to River City High and Yolo Continuation High School and respond to the other schools as needed. They are assigned distinctly marked vehicles to conduct patrol activities and have permanent office locations within the primary schools they serve. This allows the SROs to more directly interact with the staff and students. In 2016 they generated ninety one reports related to schoolsite investigations. They also work school sponsored events such as athletic games and activities. As part of their outreach efforts, they instruct students on topics such as safe bicycle safety and safe ways to walk to and from school. They provide education through the Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.) program, focusing on resisting gang influence and making smart life choices. The SRO s are very personally invested in their goal of helping students, with one SRO taking a position as a high school baseball coach at River City High School. Youth Diversion One of the primary objectives of the Juvenile Diversion Counselor is to deter at-risk youth from furthering the negative behaviors that have resulted in intervention from law enforcement. The program targets youth that have committed less serious crimes and show the potential to be rehabilitated through alternative methods of correction. Our Juvenile Diversion Counselor provides guidance and support while offering alternative methods of accountability such as writing an essay or participating in community clean-up efforts. The counselor advocates for the juveniles in the program who are struggling in their environment and with their education by working with the parents and teachers to assess the issues and arrange appropriate resources. In 2016 the Juvenile Diversion Counselor was assigned 69 cases for diversion, 31 of which were missing juvenile cases.

42 Professional Standards Unit The following information presented is part of the Internal Affairs Annual Report to the Chief of Police and Management Staff of the West Sacramento Police Department. The Annual Report is a review and comparison of the incidents occurring in the 2016 calendar year. Use of Force Administrative reviews are conducted on all use of force incidents with the exception of control holds and the suspect has no complaint of pain. These reviews are completed regardless of a citizen complaint. The reviews are scrutinized at both the Sergeant and Lieutenant s level before being sent to the Professional Standards unit for final review. In the event a potential policy/law violation exists, the review process is transferred to a formal Internal Affairs investigation. In some cases more than one use of force is applied for a single event. It is not uncommon for Officers to start at the lowest level of force and progress to a higher force application to effect an arrest. For the purpose of this report only the highest level of force was used. A review of the data compiled within the 2016 Use of Force Chart indicates that the WSPD has exercised use of force in a manner that is in line with constitutional, statutory and policy guidelines as of the time of this report. No citizen complaints or concerns were generated through the use of force by officers in Use of Force 2014 Type of Force Taser Physical Force Firearm Beanbag Gun Carotid Restraint Canine MM Baton Pepperball OC Spray Use of Force In Policy Out of Policy Total Incidents

43 Vehicle Pursuits Administrative reviews are conducted on all vehicle pursuits regardless of a complaint. Sergeants and pursuing Officers are responsible for discontinuing the pursuit when public risk outweighs the need to apprehend the suspect. Often times more than one Officer will be involved in the pursuit (depending on circumstances). All Officers involved in the pursuit fall within the review process. During the 2016 year, six (6) of the fourteen (14) pursuits were terminated by the pursuing Officers and one (1) was terminated by the on-duty Sergeant. The two (2) pursuits that were found to be out of policy consisted of unsafe passing and failing to utilize a siren. All 2016 vehicle pursuits were initiated by officers assigned to patrol driving marked police vehicles. All pursuits were reviewed through the WSPD s Administrative Review Process. All but two instances or incidents were within statutory or department policies. The two pursuits that were found to be out of policy consisted of unsafe passing and failure to utilize a siren.

45 Personnel Early Warning System (PEWS) The Personnel Early Warning System was implemented in The parameters of the system were established at that time. No modifications were made to the system since its inception. A threshold of three (3) incidents of a single performance indicator will trigger an alert; but a combination of any five (5) Performance indicators in a twelve-month period will also trigger an alert. In the 2016 period, the PEWS system identified 22 employees who triggered the performance indicator thresholds. These alerts were both reviewed at the Professional Standards level, along with the employee s operational commander. None of these alerts showed a pattern or practice of concern. EMPLOYEE GRIEVANCES Employee Grievances There was one (1) employee grievance during the 2016 calendar year. The grievance concerned the placement of a Sergeant on the salary range when promoted. The grievance was denied and was not appealed. Internal Affairs Investigations Internal affairs investigations can be generated in several different ways. This is the highest level of investigation at the administrative level that requires interviewing officers and providing peace officer bill of rights, per gov. Code Internal affairs investigations are required when discipline is anticipated. Complaints can be generated externally from the public when the accusations are policy or law violations. Complaints can also be generated internally when an officer is observed acting out of policy or law. These complaints can be generated from line level personnel up to the chief of police. In 2016 a total of eight (8) Internal Affairs complaints were investigated. Of these eight (8) complaints five (5) were generated internally and three (3) were external. Two (2) of the eight (8) complaints were sustained for low level policy violations. Internal Affairs Internal External (Citizen Complaints) Total

48 2016 Annual Awards Ceremony MERITORIOUS SERVICE AWARD The Meritorious Service ribbon is awarded to an employee for courageous, outstanding or unusual performance of duty. The following overviews the event for which two officers were awarded this award: On August 20, 2016, Officers Chris Cobb and Cody Coulter were dispatched to a domestic disturbance.

During the struggle, Officer Cobb sustained a dislocated ankle and broken leg, yet he continued to restrain the suspect until other officers arrived on scene and took the suspect into custody. Officers Coulter and Cobb s appropriate level of force and exceptional decision making prevented the use of deadly force and saved the life of the suspect.
