The first Board of Trustees enacted 16 city ordinances, ranging from banishing all livestock from city streets and sidewalks, to prohibiting the littering of streets with such things as paper, filth, and sweepings from stores. The first known police facility was an old “plank jail” located adjacent to the courtroom of the Justice of the Peace on the east side of Oak Street, somewhere south of the old Police Station & Historic City Hall on F Street. Prior to that, most people who ran afoul of the law were placed in the American Hotel at the southwest corner of Olive and 2nd Streets, presently known as 3rd and G Streets. In August of 2001, after outgrowing the F street location, the Department moved to a new modern facility located on Fifth Street, in South Davis. The first city marshal was appointed sometime in 1917 by the Board of Trustees. An early Davisville resident, Jesus Pena, assumed those responsibilities, including enforcing the newly-enacted city ordinances, as well as the job of wetting down the streets of Davis with a horse-drawn water wagon during the hot and dusty summer months. The first recorded Justices of the Peace in Davisville were William H. Marden in the South Putah Township, with Charles E. Green holding the same office in the north area. Davis’ first justice of the peace was William H. Scott, who held the office from 1899, where he was reported to have held court in a barbershop on Main Street, until 1942. Davis’ first full-time, paid police officer, Floyd Gattrell, was hired in June 1927. He was hired as a traffic officer and patrolled the streets on an early-model motorcycle. On December 15, 1927, with the population of Davis swelling to approximately 1,000 inhabitants, the Board of Trustees appointed Gattrell as Davis’ first police chief. Since that time, the Department has seen nine other Police Chiefs, including Landy Black, who has served as Police Chief since 2007. 2014 Annual Report 7 Administrative Staff Landy Black, Police Chief Davis PD: April 9, 2007 Seattle PD: 1983 – 2007 U.S. Army Military Police/CID: 1976 – 2006 University of Washington B.A. in Business Administration Troy University Master of Public Administration/Justice Administration FBI National Academy graduate Darren Pytel, Assistant Police Chief Davis PD – August 25, 1987 California State University, Sacramento B.A. Criminal Justice Lincoln Law School Juris Doctorate International Association of Chiefs of Police’s Center for Police Leadership graduate Thomas Waltz, Police Lieutenant Professional Standards Unit Davis PD – August 15, 1990 California State, Sacramento B.A. in History California State, Long Beach Masters in Emergency Services Administration 2014 Annual Report 8 Administrative Staff Paul Doroshov, Police Lieutenant Special Assignments and Focused Enforcement (SAFE) Davis PD – September 2, 1991 University of California, Davis B.A. in Sociology Sherman Block Supervisory Leadership Institute graduate International Association of Chiefs of Police's Center for Police Leadership graduate Ton Phan, Police Lieutenant Patrol Davis PD – February 5, 2001 California State, Long Beach B.S. in Occupational Studies—Vocational Arts International Association of Chiefs of Police's Center for Police Leadership graduate Glenn Glasgow, Police Lieutenant Investigations Davis PD – December 9, 2002 San Carlos PD—1996 - 2002 University of California, Davis, B.A. in Sociology University of Nevada, Reno, M.A. in Justice Management International Association of Chiefs of Police's Center for Police Leadership graduate 2014 Annual Report 9 Administrative Staff Jim Ivler, Public Safety Financial Analyst Davis PD – April 18, 1994 Oxnard PD – 1985 – 1994 California State University, Los Angeles B.A. Liberal Studies California State University, Los Angeles Teaching Credential Jean Lyon, Records and Communications Manager Davis PD – May 2001 YECA – 1999 – 2001 Cypress PD/West-Communications– 1993-1998 California State University, Sacramento B.S.

Officer Derek Russell has demonstrated such exceptional performance, and was nominated by his peers as Officer of the Year for 2014. Officer Russell has been with the Davis Police Department for 4 years, coming from the Oakland Police Department where he worked as a patrol officer for 3 years. Since his arrival here, Officer Russell has maintained the highest level of commitment to the Davis Police Department, and the law enforcement profession as a whole. In 2013, the Department adopted an Intelligence Led Policing (ILP) philosophy, which simply means we use crime data and information to focus our prevention and policing strategies towards those people and areas that create the largest crime problems in the City and/or region. Information largely comes from patrol officers, like Derek, who are routinely contacting people and sharing the information they glean with others in the Department. In late 2013, while facing a significant increase in property crimes, the Department created the Special Assignments and Focused Enforcement (SAFE) Team. Their mission was to use the information provided by others and take steps to prevent and reduce crime. Although Derek applied for a position on the team, and was not selected, he has become one of the leading sources of information for furthering our ILP efforts. According to SAFE Team members, Derek has led the Department in providing intelligence information, largely because Derek leads the Department in arrests, including felony arrests, and constantly makes contacts with people while patrolling his beat, so he often knows who is up to what. An example of his work includes, after seeing a rise in heroin related incidents, Derek provided intelligence information to the SAFE Team and, as a result, the SAFE Team was able to serve a search warrant in West Sacramento and shut down a heroin sales network. Derek was also recently selected to be a Department Use of Force instructor (Firearms and Defensive Tactics). Part of the reason he was selected was because of past sound decision making and his status as a respected informal leader by his peers. The Department is confident that Derek will pass on his knowledge, skills, and excellent work ethic to others. Finally, a nominating supervisor wrote, “Police Officers like Derek Russell reflect greatly on the City of Davis, the Davis Police Department, and the law enforcement community as a whole. There is not an officer in this Department who would not want Officer Russell as their back up; nor is there a citizen in this community who would not want an officer like Derek Russell responding to their aid when they dial 911.” 2014 Annual Report 18 Special Honors Public Safety Dispatcher Of The Year—2014 Public Safety Dispatcher Tanya Baumeister was nominated by her peers as Dispatcher of the Year for 2014. Tanya, who has been with the Department since 2006, was nominated for this award because of her excellent radio and call-taking skills, which she displays on a continuous basis, but especially during a few stand-out events. In particular, on March 7, 2014, Tanya was working fire dispatch when she received a call where an expectant mother was giving birth in a vehicle that didn’t quite make it to the hospital in time. Despite dealing with a dropped transfer of the 911 call, and in progress birth, Tanya did a great job with directing the caller and getting Fire and AMR dispatched. On May 22, 2014, as the Fire Dispatcher, Tanya handled the dispatch responsibilities when over 100 residents of a convalescent home had to be evacuated following an electrical fire. Tanya had to coordinate transportation for numerous adults who were wheelchair-bound. This was no easy task. On July 17, 2014, Tanya, along with her shift, dealt with a missing, at-risk adult. The department utilized all resources, including police and fire volunteers. Tanya did a great job coordinating as the whole room worked together to meet the multiple requests coming in to dispatch. Tanya has worked the Wednesday through Saturday night shift for a number of years. This shift consistently has the highest number of phone calls and in progress emergency incidents. Tanya has mastered the work-load and handles the busiest shift with ease. Tanya has been very responsive with last minute sick calls and staffing shortages that include modifying her schedule to meet the needs of the department. Her response to sick calls has been exceptional. Shift partners and officers have also expressed their pleasure with her being on their team. Tanya has been a Communications Training Officer for several years. This last year she took on the additional collateral assignments of Tactical Dispatcher and was recently selected for the Hostage Negotiations Team. She is extremely enthusiastic about these assignments, as well as serving exceptionally in her primary assignment as a Public Safety Dispatcher. 2014 Annual Report 19 Sample Highlights from 2014 On January 27, 2014, Officers were called to the 2400 block of Moore Boulevard in Davis, after receiving a report of two suspicious people looking into vehicles. When Officers arrived, they observed a vehicle leaving the complex. Officers stopped the vehicle and made contact with the two occupants. During their investigation, officers determined that the driver of the vehicle, was driving under the influence of alcohol. A subsequent search of the vehicle revealed property that had been taken from a vehicle burglary in the 2400 block of Moore Boulevard. Both the driver and passenger were arrested on burglary, conspiracy, and possession of stolen property. The driver had an additional charge of driving under the influence. Both were taken to the Yolo County jail. On February 9, 2014, the Department received a report of a vehicle stolen from the 1200 block of Halifax. As Officers were responding to the area, they located the stolen vehicle traveling on W. Covell Boulevard. The vehicle traveled north, toward Woodland, and was eventually stopped by Officers. Officers detained and eventually arrested two 16 year old juveniles from Woodland. Additional property belonging to another victim of theft was located inside the stolen vehicle. The driver was arrested for possessing a stolen vehicle and driving without a license. The second juvenile was arrested for possessing a stolen vehicle and petty theft. The driver was booked into the Yolo County Juvenile Hall, while the passenger was cited and released to an adult. On April 23, 2014, Officers arrested three people in connection with a robbery that occurred on March 6, 2014, in the 1800 block of Cowell Boulevard, in Davis. The arrests followed a month and a half long investigation into the armed robbery, where a victim was confronted by two suspects who brandished a handgun and demanded the victim’s property. The victim, who was not hurt, complied and the suspects fled the area. Two adults and one juvenile were arrested. The adults were booked into the Yolo County jail on robbery charges. The juvenile was also arrested on robbery charges and was booked into the Yolo County Juvenile Hall. 2014 Annual Report 20 Sample Highlights from 2014 In May of 2014, the Davis Police Department began to investigate allegations into the sexual abuse of a 17 year old female. During the course of the investigation, it was determined that the suspect, a 45 year old priest with a Catholic Church in Davis had befriended the minor and had been having a sexual relationship with the minor for some time. Officers served search warrants at multiple locations and subsequently arrested the suspect on charges of statutory rape and oral copulation with a minor. On September 24, 2014, Officers from the Davis Police Department, the Yolo County Narcotics Enforcement Team, the Davis Police Department S.A.F.E (Special Assignments and Focused Enforcement) Team, and several allied agencies, served search warrants on five residences in the Royal Oak trailer park in Davis. Officers recovered 168 marijuana plants, 3 pounds of marijuana, and a concentrated cannabis lab. Also recovered in the search were multiple firearms, ammunition, 2 assault rifles, and tools/parts used to manufacture assault weapons. One residence was condemned as being uninhabitable, two children were placed into protective custody, and 5 adults were taken into custody. The search warrants and subsequent arrests were the result of a 4 month investigation into narcotics dealing in that neighborhood. On November 21, 2014, Officers from the Special Assignments and Focused Enforcement (S.A.F.E.) team, along with Detectives from our Investigations Division, served search warrants at a residence on L. Street in Davis, as well as a residence on Reddick Road, in Dixon. Investigating Officers recovered methamphetamine and loaded firearms. The Officers arrested a Davis resident, and charged him as a felon in possession of a firearm, possession of methamphetamine, armed in the commission of a felony, and child endangerment. The subject was booked at the Yolo County Jail. On December 17, 2014, Davis Police Officers responded to an area of Chiles Road, just east of La Vida, for a report of a vehicle collision with injuries. Upon arrival, Officers made contact with the victim, who was riding a motorcycle on Chiles Road, when a vehicle crossed over the centerline and stuck him. The driver stopped and spoke to the motorcyclist, but then left the scene without exchanging information. The motorcyclist suffered serious injuries in the collision. After a month of investigating and following up on tips received, Officers were able to obtain a warrant for the arrest of the driver of the vehicle. Officers arrested the Davis resident, and booked him in the Yolo County jail. 2014 Annual Report 21 Community Commendations—2014 Here at the Davis Police Department, we are pleased when employees receive words of commendation form Community members. Here is a sampling of those received in 2014 RE: Officer Talavera “I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the actions of Officer Talavera, who interviewed our daughter, after an assault by her exhusband. Officer Talavera was respectful, patent, and honest with our daughter. She was able to process many of her feelings and fears, right there in the Police Station, and left feeling safe, empowered, and much better able to move on with her life. We appreciate Officer Talavera’s assistance he has provided our family, at a time when it was needed most.” RE: Officers Mares and La Fond “I have disabling PTSD, and recently experienced an intense episode of depression. I called 911, and Officers Mares and La Fond soon arrived at my apartment. Officer Mares demeanor communicated intelligence and good training. He spoke to me calmly, and with respect. Officer La Fond arrived communicated uncanny empathy for PTSD, and profound cultural competence for my Mormon faith. His demeanor was calm and assertive, which made me feel safe. Officer La Fond guided me through chaotic emotions until I was calm. I wish Officers Mares and La Fond peace, safety, and good health in the New Year. “ 2014 Annual Report RE: Officer Holck “Earlier this year, I was unable to locate my car after parking and shopping in downtown Davis. I called the Police Department, and they said they would send someone right away. Within minutes, Officer Holck arrived. He was extremely kind, and insisted I wait in the shade while he searched for my car. Officer Holck eventually located my car which was parked several streets away. I am very pleased with the service I received from Officer Holck, and the Davis Police Department.” RE: Members of the Davis Police Department “With all the bad press lately surrounding Police Officers, I wanted you to know how much I appreciate all that you do. Putting your life on the line every day and keeping citizens safe, is no small task. I am tired of all the negative reactions to people who are doing their jobs. Keep up the good work and let all the criticism slide off your backs!” RE: Detective Trn and Police Services Specialist Chaney “I wanted to send a special thank you to Detective Trn and PSS Chaney for coming to our facility to conduct Crime Prevention training to our staff. We now have a Quality Improvement Team in place, who will be following up on your tips and suggestions. We appreciate your support!” 22 Community Commendations—2014 RE: Officer Dias and PSS Gojkovich “I would like to take a moment to submit a letter of appreciation for the assistance provided by Officer Dias. While traveling through the Central Valley on Amtrak, my iPad went missing from my luggage, and I instantly suspected it stolen because it’s location was being reported remotely as coming from Davis. After reporting the property stolen to the Amtrak PD, Davis Police Officer Dias contacted me within a short period of time, and was able to physically recover my iPad from a parked vehicle, using its GPS location. Officer Dias quickly understood my position and was more than willing to investigate the matter, securing my property, for which I am very grateful. I would also like to express my appreciation for PSS Gojkovich who interfaced with me to return the IPad.” RE: Officer Metcalf “ I want to thank the entire Department for their assistance over the last few years, in which I was involved in a very difficult situation. The entire Department has been very kind and responsive. I would like to send a special thank you to Officer Metcalf for his exceptional patience, professionalism, as well as his amazing kindness towards both myself and my granddaughter, during an incident that occurred early this year. Officer Metcalf assisted in making an extremely difficult situation go as smooth as possible.” 2014 Annual Report RE: Officer Helton “I needed help with a client who had become psychotic and needed to be hospitalized, so I called the Davis Police Department. Officer Helton returned my call, and proceeded to get some information on my client before contacting them. Officer Helton interacted with the client in a sensitive, non-threatening manner, and was able to persuade the client to go with him to the hospital voluntarily. Officer Helton was very supportive and helpful to me during what was a very difficult experience. Without his skills, the situation might have had a much worse outcome.” RE: Police Services Specialist Sheri Kolb “I recently called to Police Department to report a purse that I had lost. PSS Kolb responded to my call, and quickly located my purse, and returned it to me. I am thankful for her quick response, and am relieved to have my purse back!” RE: Members of the Davis Police Department “I wanted to thank all of you at the Davis Police Department for the courteous, professional manner in which I was treated after having my car stolen. Your officers truly rock. They were so friendly and helpful. Words cannot express the appreciation I feel for all of your hard work. I wanted to let all of you know how wonderful you are.” 23 Administration Division — 2014 The Administrative Division provides overall management, planning, coordination and evaluation of department functions.

The mission of the Davis Police Department is to facilitate the celebration activities while maintaining public safety and order. Officers from the California Highway Patrol; the Yolo County Sheriff's Department; the Woodland, West Sacramento, and Winters Police Departments; University of California Police Department; California Department of Fish and Wildlife; and the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control all work together to maintain order; enforcing laws and city ordinances. Officers focus attention on downtown Davis and neighborhoods hosting large house-parties by patrolling on foot, bike, and in patrol cars. The California Highway Patrol and an "Avoid the 8" Team (an OTS grant funded, county-wide DUI enforcement team) conduct enforcement activities directed toward those who chose to drive drunk. California Beverage Control Agents come to town to enforce violations associated with alcohol consumption and the sales of alcohol. While the record of our enforcement actions may provide a sense of the types and volume of activity in which enforcement activity was taken, the police department’s overall perception of the 2014 event, is that there were fewer crimes of violence (reported and not reported) than during the last several Picnic Day events. While there was a significant amount of alcohol-driven disorder, the Davis downtown area seemed a safer place. The following are the Picnic Day enforcement statistics where 42 physical arrests were made: 24 arrests for Public Intoxication 3 arrests for Disorderly Conduct 1 arrest for Furnishing Alcohol to a Minor 3 arrests for Drunk & Disorderly/Resisting Arrest 3 arrests for DUI—Adult 4 arrests for Fighting 3 arrests for Possession and Sales of Narcotics (Felony) 1 arrest for Domestic Violence The following are the Picnic Day enforcement statistics where 112 citations were issued: ( 38 of the 112 citations issued were within the Safety Enhancement Zone — SEZ) 2 citations for Open Container in a Motor Vehicle 13 citations for Minor in Possession of Alcohol 1 citation for Possession of Marijuana 55 citations for Traffic Violations 24 citations issued for Open Container (all in the SEZ) 10 citations for Urinating in Public (all in the SEZ) 7 citations for Noise Ordinance violations (all in the SEZ) 2014 Annual Report 26 “AVOID THE 8” Office of Traffic Safety Grant The Yolo County “AVOID THE 8” regional law enforcement program was conducted on an overtime basis with teams from all participating agencies working as a coordinated task force during operational periods. Law enforcement officials organized and implemented all planned DUI operations in areas with histories of high numbers of DUI related collisions and or arrests. During the checkpoint operations, officers distributed traffic safety educational materials to drivers regarding the impact of drunk drivers. In addition to the DUI efforts, media campaigns were conducted during each of the AVOID Holiday weekends and NHTSA Mobilization campaigns. Media efforts focused on the toll drunk drivers have on families; causing loss of life or life changing injuries.

One court sting was conducted. One driver was arrested for driving from the court after her driving privileges were suspended by the judge. Upon further inspection of her driving record, it was discovered that she had multiple suspensions on her driving privileges prior to her court appearance. 70 Traffic Safety Cones were purchased for use at DUI/DL Check Points. Heaters and Lighting equipment were purchased for use during DUI Check Points. 2014 Annual Report 27 Traffic & Parking The Traffic Unit consists of two motorcycle officers and a traffic sergeant. Motorcycles are often used for traffic enforcement because they allow officers easier access to traffic related problems. Traffic enforcement officers are primarily responsible for enforcing the California Vehicle Code, local traffic ordinances, and investigating vehicle collisions. The purpose of the traffic unit is to create safer roadways for motorist, cyclists and pedestrians. This is accomplished through enforcing traffic laws, educating citizens and helping to identify roadway engineering issues. The traffic officers respond to community complaints regarding traffic safety issues and provide dedicated enforcement at high collision intersections.

The Unit typically issues around13,000—18,000 parking citations per year. They also assist with traffic control during special events and major incidents. 2014 Annual Report 28 Code Enforcement It is the goal of the City and its citizens that all property owners and tenants maintain their property’s appearance and value. Our City Municipal Code has been established to help maintain a standard in our community for all to enjoy. The observance of these codes by property owners and their tenants, in turn, motivates other property owners to maintain their properties to these standards. The Code Enforcement Officer enforces the City of Davis Municipal Code. The Code Compliance Program is a citizen-based program that inspects and investigates complaints from citizens of the City of Davis. Upon receipt of a complaint, the Code Enforcement Officer will conduct a site visit to investigate the reported violation. After confirmation of the violation, the Code Enforcement Officer will take necessary steps to gain compliance with City Codes. In 2014, the Davis Police Department handled over 420 cases involving Code Compliance issues. 6 cases were for barking dog violations, 154 were for nuisance abatement, 46 were for visual blight in the view of the public right of way, and 214 cases were for loud parties and music at residences and businesses. These numbers do not include the countless telephone/email inquires that are followed up with and handled without a case being opened. Also during 2014, there were numerous homeless camps that were visited and abated by Code Enforcement. The Department’s Code Enforcement Officer, along with Police Officers worked with the Public Works Department in order to organize trash removal at these sites. Code Enforcement worked with department VIPS (Volunteers in Police Services) to educate the community with the correct placement and disposing of green waste in bicycle lanes. This became an issue in Davis, as the green waste piles were causing a traffic hazard to bicyclists and forcing them to ride into the vehicle lane of traffic in order to avoid the waste piles. Code Enforcement and VIPS worked together to enforce the municipal code, aimed at ridding bicycle lanes of green waste piles, which resulted in an increase in voluntary compliance. 2014 Annual Report 29 K-9 Team Statistics for 2014 Hurricane Calls it a Career Davis Police Department K-9 Hurricane “Cane”, retired on March 13, 2014, due to lingering back issues, culminating a career that spanned over seven years, and numerous achievements. “Hurricane is an enthusiastic dog that loved every aspect of being a police K-9. He was a consistent, reliable partner, and a great ambassador for the K9 Unit and the Department”, said his handler, Officer Hatfield. “Cain” was always friendly and social when meeting members of the community and fearless and tenacious when working. As of his last day, K-9 Hurricane had logged over 185 General Assists, 185 Drug Searches, 112 Drug finds, and 90 Surrenders. He also participated in several Police Canine Trials, earning 1st place in several categories, and bringing home various awards over the years. He also participated in numerous public demonstrations, and actually became a Facebook celebrity in 2013, when he was one of the most “reached” and “liked” members of the Foothills K9 Association. Cane saw his fair share of action over the past seven years. Some of the calls that stand out include one in which the suspect fled on foot after being pulled over for a traffic stop by a Patrol Officer. After fleeing on foot, into the Davis Waste Removal yard, K-9 Hurricane found the suspect hiding in a tree. The suspect eventually came down from the tree and was arrested on suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle, of being previously convicted of a felony, possession of an firearm, driving with a suspended license, and resisting a police officer. Without Hurricane’s assistance, Officers would have had a hard time locating the suspect in the tree. Another incident was one in which the DPD received a call regarding a man suspected of a carjacking at a local fast food restaurant. Officers responded, and soon spotted the stolen car, and began pursuit. The suspect drove into the Yolo Bypass and south on Levee Road. Due to poor road conditions, the Officer slowed down the pursuit and unfortunately lost sight of the suspect. The stolen vehicle was eventually located but the suspect was missing. Several outside agencies were called in to assist in the search of the suspect, and after several hours, he was located hiding in a cornfield. After being asked to surrender, and refusing, K-9 Hurricane was sent in to apprehend him, and the suspect was arrested. Officer Lee Hatfield and K-9 Partner Hurricane “Cane” 2014 Annual Report 30 K-9 Team Statistics for 2014 Meet our New K-9, Dexter Dexter officially began his patrol training in January of 2014. Dexter is a German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix born in May of 2012 in Poland. We call him a Shepinois. He was purchased from the Vohne Liche Kennel in southern CA. Prior to training with the Davis Police Department, Dexter had no official training. He is now trained for all patrol dog functions, including catching violent or dangerous people running, hiding, or fighting with police, as well as narcotics detection. He is trained to locate and passively alert on the odor of cocaine, methamphetamines, and heroin. Dexter assisted with 41 apprehensions of violent and dangerous subjects in 2014. Officers conducted a narcotics search along with the West Sacramento SIU team, in which the teams were searching a garage. The garage was searched by several officers but nothing was found. Officers had Dexter search the garage again and he continued to alert in the same spot. Officers checked an industrial fridge in a corner of the garage. Hidden in the motor area on top of the fridge, Officers located ¾ of a pound of crystal methamphetamines, which would not have been found without Dexter’s alert. Officers responded to a report of a subject brandishing a handgun at a group of UCD students at the corner of Russell Boulevard and Miller Lane, in Davis. The subject was apprehended by Officers, but was not in possession of the handgun. Dexter did an evidence search of the front yards from where the suspect was detained, to where the crime occurred. In the thick ivy of a yard close to Russell Boulevard, Dexter alerted on a loaded revolver which was later identified by the victim’s as the gun brandished by the suspect. 9 Month Incident Stats for Dexter & Hatfield Alarm 13 Apprehension 3 Area Search 4 General Assist 25 Investigations Assist 12 Outside Agency Assist 2 Attempt to Locate 3 Building Search Public Demonstration 19 3 Drug Find 14 Drug Search 37 Evidence Search 3 Surrender 45 Warrant 10 Team Total 2014 Annual Report 193 31 Special Weapons & Tactics The Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT) is a multi-jurisdictional team comprised of Davis and West Sacramento police officers. The team is a part-time team, which means that their membership on the team is a collateral assignment; in addition to their primary duties patrol, investigations, or other specialized assignments. Currently, the Davis Police Department has nine team members assigned to the team and one lieutenant who is one of the two tactical commanders. West Sacramento has devoted eight officers, and the other tactical commander to the team. Being a member of the team requires hours of training to stay proficient in the tactical environment. To maintain these perishable skills the team trains twenty hours a month, covering numerous disciplines, including building searches, hostage rescue, high risk warrant services, dignitary protection, and working collaboratively with other special disciplines such as Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) and Hostage Negotiations (HNT). During 2014, the SWAT team, which is one half of ALERT (Area Law Enforcement Response Team) for Yolo County, was activated 5 times. Of those 5 deployments, 4 were high risk search/arrest warrants and one involved a barricaded subject inside a residence. One of those deployments resulted in the arrest of 6 suspects and the seizure of 8 firearms, three of which were high-powered rifles. During 2014, the team participating in over 200 hours of training which included active shooter scenarios, building entry and clearing techniques, rappelling, hostage rescue, search warrant executions, and working with K9 teams. 2014 Annual Report Davis PD SWAT Team Members in 2014 Executive Officer—Lt.

The Team provides the Department with the ability to quickly address emerging crime trends and problem areas, and allows the Department to direct trained investigators to a specific problem. The overriding philosophy of the SAFE Unit is that crime can be deterred through highly proactive enforcement and through directed intelligence led enforcement using creative problem oriented policing and investigative strategies. The goals of the SAFE Team are as follows: Manage or assist in the supervision of those on probation, parole, or Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS). Conduct undercover, special investigative, or special enforcement operations. Gather information relating to criminal behavior by analyzing reported crimes, managing informant assets, gathering feedback from community members, and interviewing offenders. Analyze information and turn it into usable intelligence. Identify either loose knit or organized criminal networks that may be operating in our jurisdiction. Design and implement solutions or effective management and investigative plans aimed at reducing or controlling criminal behavior. The Unit is managed by Lieutenant Doroshov, and includes one Sergeant, and three Detectives, one Crime Analyst, and a Police Services Specialist. Lieutenant Doroshov is responsible for assuring the accomplishment of the SAFE Team goals through directing, developing, and evaluating personnel assigned to the team, and by taking the lead on the Intelligence Lead Policing program for the Department.

We are committed to encouraging young people to avoid drugs and gangs, stay in school, and contribute positively to society. We believe if we reach out to our youth at an early age, they can develop strong, positive attitudes and trust towards police officers, as well as respect for the law during their journey through life toward the goal of maturity and good citizenship. The Davis Police Department continues to seek opportunities to interact with our youthful community members through nonenforcement activities. We do this through outreach programs that educate and foster positive relationships between our youth and our officers. We evaluate our processes periodically to ensure our goals and objectives in this area meet the needs of the community. It is our firmest belief that every young person has a right to the opportunity to succeed. Our youth are our best investment in the future. We look forward to the challenges ahead, the partnership with the community, and the community’s support for our efforts in providing opportunities and building relationships. 2014 Annual Report Youth Academy—Summer 2014 Under the coordination of Police Services Specialist Supervisor Michele Sharitz, the Davis Police Department offers an exciting 2 week Youth Academy.

Juveniles enter into a 6 month diversion contract with the department’s Youth Intervention Specialist and are required to do community service hours at a local non-profit, write an essay relative to their offense, maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0, generate no unexcused absences at school, submit to drug screening, and meet with the Youth Intervention Specialist once a month. f needed, referrals are made to substance abuse programs, counseling services, anger management, etc. In addition to meeting with juveniles on diversion, the Youth Intervention Specialist fields calls and meets with parents who are struggling with adolescent teen issues such as drug/alcohol use, negative behaviors in the home, parenting issues, and other family crises. In 2014, there were 98 juvenile arrests. The department’s Youth Intervention Specialist held 222 meetings with juveniles and their families. This translates to approximately 18 meetings per month with juveniles who are currently on diversion. Truancy A total of five truancy outreach visits were held at Davis Senior High in 2014, and 65 students were met with regarding their truancy. After meeting with the initial 65 students, 23 students were then forwarded to Yolo County District Attorney for a Truancy Mediation Hearing due to continued truancy. Despite outreach resources, 14 of the 23 students were ultimately referred to truancy court. Truancy outreach days were also held at King High and at the junior high school level. These truancy cases were mediated and handled informally or through other juvenile court proceedings. School and Community Throughout 2014, the Youth Intervention Specialist facilitated ten Child Abuse Mandated Reporter training sessions for City of Davis employees and volunteers. In August 2014, the DPD held its 10th annual “Pack the Patrol Car” fundraiser, which resulted in over 200 backpacks filled with school supplies being delivered to needy students at schools in Davis. In October 2014, the Youth Intervention Specialist, organized and presented a community forum presentation entitled, “Be Smart, Don’t Start,” in response to the increase in heroin related cases investigated by Davis PD. Several officers and detectives from Davis PD spoke to the community to familiarize them with the heroin epidemic as well as other drugs and illegal activity being seen in Davis. In December 2014, along with School Resource Officer Briesenick, the Youth Intervention Specialist presented an alcohol/drug awareness class to Parents of the organization, “Parent Project”. Parents were provided information on current drug trends and suggestions on how to keep their children drug free. 2014 Annual Report 38 School Resource Officer School Resource Officer Keirith Briesenick splits her time amongst 4 high school campuses in Davis — Davis Senior High School, Da Vinci Charter Academy, King High School and Davis School for Independent Study (DSIS). Officer Briesenick also assists in criminal investigations at the 3 junior high schools in Davis – Holmes, Emerson and Harper Junior High Schools. She has also participated in Red Ribbon week at several elementary schools in Davis, and has provided assistance in truancy and safety to elementary schools as needed. At the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year, seeing the need for better communication between school crisis counseling staff and the Davis Police Department, SRO Briesenick and DJUSD Crisis staff set up a regular bimonthly meetings. This “Crisis Debrief” covers students in crisis or students suffering from mental health conditions that could lead to law enforcement action. SRO Briesenick has also participated in threat assessments outlined by the crisis team that allow law enforcement to give feedback on incidents involving students in crisis or students that may engage in threatening behavior. Some of the other activities SRO Briesenick has been involved in this year include: In September 2014, SRO Briesenick participated in the Sexual Assault Awareness Campaign (SAAC). This campaign is designed to bring sexual assault awareness and education to high school students and their parents. With partner Empower Yolo, the SAAC has already provided high school seniors with a presentation educating them about the sexual assaults. Empower Yolo is also running a course for junior high students at Emerson Junior High. An upcoming PSA video contest and poster contest will launch at all high school sites in March of 2015. In October 2014, SRO Briesenick, along with other department staff, participated in a community forum on drug and alcohol use, in an effort to address the increasing heroin use at the high school level, and to keep parents informed. In 2014, SRO Briesenick also attended the Davis Joint Unified School District monthly Climate and Safety meetings at the District office. At these meetings, SRO Briesenick provided school administrators with education and awareness on issues involving domestic violence, sexual assault, and gangs. SRO Briesenick also assists the department’s Youth Intervention Specialist with truancy issues, advises on future safety planning for the school district, and coaches the Davis High School girls varsity softball team. 2014 Annual Report 39 R.A.D. (Rape Aggression Defense) The Rape Aggression Defense System (RAD) is a program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques. The RAD program is a comprehensive course for women that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction, and avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training. During 2014 we provided one five-week RAD course for women. Davis Police Department RAD courses are taught by our nationally certified RAD Instructors: Janell Bestpitch, Kimberly Walker, and Eddie Ellsworth. For more information about upcoming classes, email: rad@davispd.org. radKIDS The radKIDS Program provides children with hope, options, and practical skills to RECOGNIZE, AVOID, and, if necessary, ESCAPE violence and abuse. Certified Davis PD instructors, Officer Penrose and Officer Ellsworth taught one summer session this past year, which included four classes with approximately 25 kids ages 5—12 years in each. 2014 Annual Report 40 Crime Prevention The Davis Police Department has an active Crime Prevention Unit, which oversees Neighborhood Watch, Crime Free Multi-Housing, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) assessments, and vacation house checks. The primary goal of the Crime Prevention Unit is to use the community as a force multiplier in crime reduction. Davis PD’s Neighborhood Watch program is a crime reduction program where citizens work together with law enforcement to combat and prevent crime in their neighborhoods. Currently, Davis PD works with 155 Neighborhood Watch groups. These groups exist in all parts of Davis, with a typical group size consisting of 17 homes. The Davis Crime Free Multi-Housing Program is designed to help residents, owners, and managers associated with rental properties keep narcotics and other illegal activity out of their respective communities. Davis PD provides tools and annual training to all multi-housing stakeholders in an effort to assist them in crime issues that are unique to shared properties. To date, Davis PD has 41 Crime Free Multi-Housing participants. Throughout 2014, the Crime Prevention Unit participated in Celebrate Davis, National Night Out, Davis Neighbor’s Night Out, Adopt-A-Park, Fall Patrol and various safety presentations. In addition to the activities listed above, Police Services Specialist Janet Chaney, who is currently assigned to the Crime Prevention Unit, attended CPTED training. During the course of 2014, PSS Chaney conducted assessments of personal residences, apartments, and commercial properties. In July 2014, PSS Chaney was awarded the Excellence and Innovation in Policing Ribbon for her investigative work as part of the Special Assignments and Focused Enforcement (SAFE) Team. Her continuous efforts in, and commitment to, educating the community regarding crime trends and crime prevention have raised community awareness, and helped make Davis a safe place to live! 2014 Annual Report 41 Crime Prevention The Davis Police Department encourages all members of the community to join proactively in the fight against crime. The first step community members can take in the crime prevention effort is to incorporate basic crime prevention techniques into their daily habits. A second and equally important step is to report all criminal and suspicious activity in a timely manner. Aware and involved community members exponentially increase the Police Department’s “eyes” and “ears” throughout the city. These added resources can have a significant impact on the reduction of crime and the apprehension of criminals. TIPS AND REMINDERS: Keep all doors, windows, sliders, gates, garages, etc. closed and locked when not in use. Increase outdoor lighting and light up vulnerable areas Motion sensors lights can also serve as an alert system All doors to the outside should have a solid core and deadbolt locks Windows/Sliders must have strong and working locks Also consider “window stops” or dowels/rods in the tracks. Prune and maintain overgrown bushes and trees to eliminate potential hiding places Display visible alarm and Neighborhood Watch signage and stickers Other deterrents that can be used: Alarms, Camera Systems, Dogs Report all suspicious activity as soon as it is witnessed. Timely reporting greatly increase the chances that officers can respond, make contact, and investigate an incident. Go with your gut—if it doesn’t look or feel right, the it probably isn’t. Call it in! GETTING INVOLVED AND STAYING ACTIVE: Take steps to engage in the community and your neighborhood. Join a Neighborhood Watch Program. Call our Crime Prevention Specialist, Janet Chaney, at 530-747-5472 for more information. A Neighborhood Watch group facilitates interaction and opens up communication within a neighborhood and with the police department. It creates an environment in which neighbors agree to look out for each other. It informs criminals through signs and stickers that your neighborhood is active, aware, and reports all suspicious activity directly to the police department. 2014 Annual Report 42 Volunteers in Police Services and Cadet Program Volunteers in Police Services Program The Volunteers in Police Services (VIPS) Program provides a valuable resource to our law enforcement officers and support personnel, enabling them to focus on policing and enforcement responsibilities. The volunteers are a group of adults who pool their talents, knowledge, and abilities; donating their time to help the Police Department provide a higher level of service to the citizens in our community. The Davis Police Department is fortunate to have over 60 VIPS working with us who fill critical gaps in program support and enhance services, enabling law enforcement personnel to respond more effectively to enforcement and policing priorities. In turn, our volunteers contribute in a meaningful way to the safety of their community. Cadet Program The principal goal of the cadet program is to train youth on the various aspects of police work while they work within and for their community. The Cadets have many responsibilities and duties that support the City of Davis Police Department. A Police Cadet will often be called upon to assist in various divisions within the organization. The cadets are trained in areas such as: radio codes, First Aid & CPR, physical training, penal codes and vehicle code laws, building searches, felony car stops, Narcotics, K-9, suspect descriptions, officer safety, defensive tactics, booking evidence, and most importantly, they are exposed to the infamous “paperwork” the police officers have to do. They attend meetings once a month; on the third Thursday of each month. Police Cadets are exposed to law enforcement by riding along with Police Officers during their regular shifts and experiencing the day-to-day operations. Davis Downtown Host Program The Davis Police Department launched the Davis Downtown Host program in November, 2013, which has been very successful to date. Currently a team of 14 hosts patrol the Downtown Core on foot acting as a resource for downtown businesses, customers, and visitors, as well as a crime deterrent. For more information on our Volunteer Program, or how you can become a Volunteer, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Kellie Vitaich at 530-747-5419. 2014 Annual Report 43 Volunteers in Police Services and Cadet Program Both the Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) and Cadets provide valuable services to the Davis Police Department and surrounding community.
