That's what we do best and 2004 performance is proof positive of our continued commitment to our mission. Sincerely, 2 Wyoming Police Department Annual Report WYPD 2003 Introduction Each year the Wyoming Police Department prepares an annual report of crime statistics for the City of Wyoming, the Michigan Incident Crime Reporting (MICR) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Report (UCR). This data is compiled from offenses reported to the WYPD, monthly police reports and individual crime incident reports. The primary objective of this annual report is to provide a reliable set of criminal justice statistics for police administration, operation, and management. The localized study of crime data enables personnel to assess the influence of crime on districts, neighborhoods, and people. Similarly, crime statistics permit analysis among neighboring jurisdictions, and with those of similar populations and other characteristics. A broad examination of the crime data allows individuals to view the nature and movement of crime, underlying changes, and fluctuations throughout the City of Wyoming, the State of Michigan, and the United States. The WYPD is committed to improving the reliability and validity of our crime reporting data. We are attempting to achieve this goal by study and analysis of major crime indexes, and understanding the impact of classification revisions mandated by the State. As a result, some offense categories have decreased, while others increased. Our efforts are providing a reporting system that will be more accurate, valid, reliable, and compatible with State and Federal standards. 3 Wyoming Police Department Annual Report WYPD 2004 2004 Budget Reductions Due to declining State shared revenues, the Wyoming Police Department was forced to make significant budget reductions in 2004.The force of 101 sworn was reduced to 88 while Civilian staff was reduced to 27.

Homminga The WYPD Pawn Shop Unit serves as the clearinghouse for monitoring pawn shop activity throughout Wes Michigan to insure that Pawn Shops comply with local ordinances. The RSVP volunteers Harry Havelhorst and Bill Homminga assigned to the Unit work closely with agencies throughout West Michigan to disseminate information, share resources, and enhance communications. Community Probation Model Community probation is a unique and non-traditional way of providing decentralized and personalized court supervision to juveniles and their families that reside in a specific sector of the city and/or county. The goals of community probation are to reduce further delinquency in a targeted population, develop cooperative and coordinated relationships with the law enforcement community, and to develop services and treatment plans that enhance the balanced and restorative justice concept. The Court introduced the Community Probation concept in 1999 with the help of grant funding, and as a result total restructuring of probation services has taken place over the last 5 years. Presently the Court has 22 probation officers and 22 surveillance officers assigned to the Community Probation program and an additional 4 probation officers assigned to out-county locations. The City of Wyoming was included in the Community Probation Model in 2001. The city is divided into 6 sectors, with an additional sector including Wyoming residents that live within the Grandville Public School District. There are 4 full-time Community Probation Officers assigned to the City of Wyoming (not including the CPO assigned to Grandville) and 5 fulltime surveillance staff working the Wyoming, Kentwood, Grandville areas. Probation officers are assigned to certain neighborhoods and have an established community office at the Wyoming Police Dept. Probation Officers are required to work closely with community police officers assigned to the neighborhoods. Restorative and balanced justice is the concept that drives the work with youthful offenders on Community Probation. Each treatment plan developed for all youth, along with the court order, includes key components such as community safety, competency development, and accountability. Safety concerns are addressed in several ways: intensive probation officer, surveillance officer contacts, drug screens, school checks, sharing of information with the police, schools, and neighborhood crime prevention staff, and as needed placement in detention or out-of home placements. Competency development includes components such as substance abuse treatment, anger management classes, CMH assessments, mentoring and tutoring programs, parenting classes, and court supported schools. Accountability includes an emphasis on making the victim and community whole primarily by the use of restitution and community service. Many services provided to the youth and their families are offered within the City of Wyoming. Some services such as anger management classes and community service are facilitated by the Wyoming Community Probation Officers and are held at the Wyoming Police Dept. There were 633 cases assigned to probation officers in 2004. Of these assignments, 85 youth were placed on Community Probation within the City of Wyoming. 31 Wyoming Police Department Annual Report WYPD 2004 WYPD Chaplain Corps Chaplain Jeff Lines Oriole Baptist Church Serving Since 1999 Chaplain Darryl Andrzejewski New Hope Lutheran Church Serving Since 2001 A police chaplain is a clergy person with an passionate interest in, and the specialized training for pastoral care in the dangerous world of law enforcement.

W.Y.N.E.T. Since 1995, the Wyoming Police Department had shifted its resources toward a community policing philosophy. The community policing approach to law enforcement seeks to address the causes of crime and reduce the fear of crime and social disorder through problem-solving strategies and police-community partnerships. A fundamental shift from traditional reactive policing, community policing strives to prevent crime before it occurs. Unfortunately, budget reductions forced the collapse of both units. The unit statistics represent the final nine months of their operation. The collapse of both of these highly successful programs greatly limits our street-level enforcement and problemsolving operations.

Wyoming Police Department Annual Report WYPD 2004 School Liaison Program Annual Summary School Resource Activities Sgt. Kirt Zuiderveen is the supervisor of the School Resource Officer Program (SOR). The School Resource Officer program is a nationally accepted program involving the placement of a law enforcement officer within the educational environment. The officer, while in school, is involved in a variety of functions aimed at prevention. Besides being an active high profile law enforcement officer, the SRO is a resource for students, parents, teachers and administration regarding law issues. Another duty for the SRO is being a link to other service agencies which provide preventive and counseling services within the school district. Working hand in hand with the Principal in each school, the SRO assists with finding solutions to problems affecting school age children. During 2004, the SRO program was eliminated because of budget reduction measures. However, the program was able to continue for the 2004/2005 school year due to the generosity of the Godfrey-Lee, Godwin, and Wyoming Public Schools. The districts are providing the funding for three officers for the school year. Special Events: The School Liaison Officers presented two hundred sixty-nine lectures in the area schools. • • 3 Neighborhood Watch lectures were given this past year, involving over one hundred citizens of Wyoming. • New Neighborhood Watch groups in the City of Wyoming include the streets of Jean, Illinois, and Golfbury. • In 2004, three Child Watch training sessions were conducted. As a result, there are twenty-five more Child Watch Volunteers in the City of Wyoming.
