letter from the chief LARRY GOODWIN Chief of Police Town of Collierville Chief Larry Goodwin came to the Collierville Police Department in 1996 after a 26 year career with the Memphis Police Department. He was named Chief of Police in 1999, after serving as a Captain in the Staff Services Division. He is a graduate of the FBI National Academy, Session #167. I am pleased to report that your Collierville Police Department proved to be up to the challenges we faced as a community during 2011. While society continues to face uncertain economic times and the threat of crime remains ever-present throughout our region, the citizens of Collierville should be proud of the accomplishments achieved during this past year. Through the use of partnerships fostered throughout the community and the efforts put forth by the agency members, it is apparent that our crime fighting and prevention efforts continue to be effective. Our TIBRS (Tennessee Incident Based Reporting System) statistics, contained within this report, clearly demonstrate a stellar crime clearance rate that surpasses virtually every agency in the state. Through the use of high visibility patrols, crime analysis, and thorough investigations, we continue to bolster our reputation as a proactive, professional agency with the ultimate goal of reducing crime and apprehending criminals. Other highlights from 2011 include a very successful CALEA Re-Accreditation on-site assessment in November, the completion of the building construction / renovation project, and the deployment of police personnel and services in the recently annexed territories that now call Collierville home. In closing, as we enter 2012, our attention will turn to the future as we prepare for the challenges associated with issues such as school consolidation, communication systems improvements, and the implementation of emerging technology within the department s infrastructure. Our employees remain motivated and driven to provide the level of service the citizens of Collierville enjoy and have come to expect from their Police Department. We will continue to be visionary in our approach to crime fighting, affording every citizen with the opportunity to participate through vigilance, information sharing, and collaboration with the men and women of the Collierville Police Department.

UNIFORM PATROL The Uniform Patrol Division, commanded by Captain Sean Williams, is the largest division of sworn officers within the Collierville Police Department. The primary functions of this division include, but are not limited to, preventative patrol; crime prevention; response to calls for service; traffic control, direction and enforcement; crisis intervention; and community relationship development. The Uniform Patrol Division also contains several specialized units, such as the Canine Unit (K9), Crime Scene Unit (CSU), Crisis Intervention Team (CIT), Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT), Strategic Tracking and Recovery (STAR) Team, and the Traffic Unit. The men and women of the Uniform Patrol Division are the first line of defense against crime in our community. CANINE UNIT (K9) The Collierville Police Department employs full-time canine handler, Officer Matt Bialy, and his dog Leno for dual-purpose patrol duties. This highly trained team regularly responds to situations such as building searches, area searches, tracking, evidence recovery, suspect apprehension, and narcotic searches. They work closely with both the SWAT and STAR teams. CRIME SCENE UNIT (CSU) The Collierville Police Crime Scene Unit is made up of twelve patrolmen that have received specialized training as crime scene technicians. In addition to regular patrol duties, these officers are utilized on crime scenes such as burglaries, assaults, robberies, and thefts. Duties may include: crime scene documentation, photography, seizing evidence, and latent print collection. CRISIS INTERVENTION TEAM (CIT) CIT officers have received specialized training which enables them to more effectively understand and assist those affected by mental illness. These officers respond to any call involving a person with a diagnosed mental illness, suicidal, or where information on mental illness is requested. CIT officers also play an integral part in community sponsorship of the annual National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) 5K Run. In 2011, this event raised approximately $20,000 for NAMI. RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT The office of Research and Development supports operational components with the use of available technologies. This officer is responsible for the development and maintainance of internal databases, management of social media campaigns, representation during multi-jurisdictional technology projects, grant research, and research of current technology trends in law enforcement. 16 COLLIERVILLE POLICE ANNUAL REPORT 2011

CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS The Criminal Investigations Division, led by Captain Chris Locke, provides the Town of Collierville with professional and skilled investigators, available around the clock. This division handles all criminal investigations and interrogations, crime scene investigations, personnel background checks, internal affairs complaints, victim/witness assistance, and domestic violence programs. Proper investigation and follow up of criminal cases requires these detectives to operate two shifts, daytime and evenings, with on-call after-hour personnel. Included within the Criminal Investigations Division is the Specialized Enforcement Unit (SEU), dedicated to the fight against illegal narcotic activity. In addition to Collierville, some of our detectives also serve the Mid-South community by assignment to specialized task forces, such as the Secret Service Task Force, West Tennessee Drug Task Force, and the DEA Task Force. CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION Generally, it is the responsibility of the Uniform Patrol Officer to conduct all preliminary investigations on offenses they receive as calls for service; however, there are many situations that require a substantial amount of time and expertise to bring incidents to a successful conclusion. Detectives within the Criminal Investigation Division develop followup information; conduct interviews and interrogations; perform surveillance; recover stolen property; and routinely collect, preserve, and process physical evidence to solve these cases. CRIME ANALYSIS & INTELLIGENCE Crime analysis is a scientific process utilizing collected information on reported crimes and criminals to prevent and suppress crime and to apprehend criminal offenders. CID Detectives regularly collect and use this data to try to determine, for predictive purposes, the frequency with which events occur and the extent to which they are associated with other events. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE UNIT Tennessee criminal law has established the seriousness of domestic abuse as a crime and assures a victim of domestic abuse enhanced protection from violent behavior. The intent of the law is that the official response shall communicate the attitude that violent behavior is not excused or tolerated. The Domestic Violence Investigator investigates domestic violence crimes and assists victims through the court process and locates help for those in need. 18 COLLIERVILLE POLICE ANNUAL REPORT 2011
EVIDENCE & PROPERTY MANAGEMENT In addition to property owned and/or used by the police department, law enforcement agencies are responsible for property in the custody of the agency and property acquired by the agency as found, recovered, or evidentiary. Collierville Police Detectives are held accountable for the control of all property and evidence stored in the department s property rooms. They are liable for checking property and evidence in and out of the property rooms, as well as ensuring that all property is properly labeled and recorded. NARCOTIC INVESTIGATIONS Officers assigned to the Specialized Enforcement Unit, those on area task forces, and other Detectives within the Criminal Investigation Division are dedicated to continual and thorough investigations of narcotic violations, organized crime, and vice. Currently, there are CPD Detectives assigned to both the West Tennessee Drug Task Force and federal Drug Enforcement Agency Task Force. VICTIM & WITNESS COORDINATION The Collierville Police Department recognizes its role in victim/witness assistance and commits its efforts to fair, compassionate assistance. All personnel, sworn and nonsworn, make every effort to treat each victim and witness with proper respect, concern, and dignity. The Victim/Witness Coordinator is located within the Criminal Investigations Division and is responsible for the administration of all facets of the Collierville Police Victim/Witness Assistance Program.
