2016 CHIEF S MESSAGE It is my pleasure to present our 2016 annual report. The men and women of the Rochester Police Department are committed to the principals of providing the best possible service to all who live work and visit the City of Rochester. The highlight of this year was the addition of our new K-9 Team. Officer Michael Knight was selected to be the handler. Officer Knight met his K-9 partner at the Oakland Community College K-9 Academy. They completed an intensive 5 week training program with high praise from their instructors. Officer Michael Knight took a page from the 1980 s TV show Knight Rider to name his K-9 Kitt. Michael Knight was the main character on the show and Kitt was the name given to the automated car that was also one of the stars. Kitt is trained in narcotics detection, searching for persons or articles as well as handler protection. Kitt has already had some good narcotics finds. Officer Knight and Kitt have proven to be a good team who are constantly training to hone their skills. The department was also able to add an additional ordinance officer this year. This additional position will assist us in providing improved service to our residents. We will now have an ordinance officer avaiaible in the evening hours and on weekends. Our two full time ordinance officers are responsible for parking enforcement, responding to animal control issues as well as fleet maintenance duties. They are the original jack of all trades who help out in a variety of areas. The annual Police Open House and Bike Safety Rodeo was again a big success. This was again a great opportunity to open the Police Station to our residents. We also enjoyed having the Custom and Border Patrol helicopter fly in for the day. With the help of the Rochester Masonic Lodge, we had over 100 children participate in the Child Identification program. It was great to see the smiles on the kids of all ages who participated in all the activities including many hands-on experiences. The bike safety rodeo allowed kids to learn the rules of the road while out on the various bike safety courses. We also made sure they had bike helmets that fit properly. We provided 341 helmets to participants who needed them. The Police Department continues to have a presence on Facebook and Twitter. We look forward to continuing to provide information that educates, informs and will hopefully bring a smile to your face from time to time. Sergeant Mark Lyon graduated this year from the prestigious Police School of Staff and Command. This is a very exclusive training for upper level command officers. With Sergeant Lyon s graduation all out command officers have now completed this training. 2
The Police Department instituted an E-Commerce Exchange Safety Zone in front of the police station. This is a great spot to complete E-Bay or Craig s list transactions. This area is safe, public and under video surveillance. We have noticed citizens using this area every day. The men and women of the Rochester Police Department believe we can only be effective when we work in partnership with the community we serve. We encourage you to stop into the station, call our dispatch center, or talk with our officers at any time. You can also email me at sschettenhelm@rochestermi.org. On behalf of the men and women of the department I would like to thank the City Council and the residents of Rochester for their continued support. The members of the Rochester Police Department will work every day to continue to earn that support. Respectfully submitted, Steven J. Schettenhelm Chief of Police 3
