In our second year of participation with the Hennepin County Joint Community Police Partnership, we engaged our immigrant community in several events and provided - cultural and language training for our officers. JCPP also received international recognitian from the International Association of Chiefs of Police. I was pleased to represent Hopkins at the annual International Chiefs of Police Association conference where the ]CPP program received the 2009 IACP Civil Rights Award. The International Chiefs of Police Association represents over 20,000 senior law enfarcement executives from 80 countries. It was a great honqr to be recognized. Officer Stacy Lakotas was recognized as Police Officer of the Month by the National Police Memorial Association. In addition to their work with the Nationat Police Memorial, the association recognizes 12 officers from around the country for their • individual work efforts and aid to the community. Officer Lakotas received national ' attention for this irnpressive award. We continued working v�ith neighboring cities to combat graffiti and increased enforcement and investigative efforts of vandals involved in defacing public and - private property. Through these efforts we have seen a dramatic decrease in the number of reports of graffiti in Hopkins over the past two years, Throughout the year we worked with property owners, other government units, and the public to identify and reduce calls to repeat locations. . Z009 statistics show a decrease In both violent and property crimes. Overall calls for service remain ste�dy. it is my pleasure to produce t�is report of activity for 2Q09.

The ortlinance also establishes a fine schedule for false alarms and fines for failure to register the alarm. The number of alarm calls received in 2009 totaled 409; a 26% decrease. There were seven (7) actual alarms that resulted in a burglary. Compliance with registration and careful operation of the alarms has shown a.decrease in false alarm calls. The number of residential and commercial properties with registeretl alarms totaled 437. False alarm penalty fees and failure to register fines billed in 2009 totaled $8,075.00. Nuisance property enforcement continues to be a focus of the police department and the city. The city of Hopkins rental ordinance requires rental property owners/managers to conduct a criminal background check on all prospective tenants as well as use of the Crime-free, Drug-free lease addendum which is a key component in the Crime-free Multi-housing program. The ordinance aiso includes a section regarding "disorderfy behavio�'. The city notifies property owners via fetter, after one disorderly conduct incident on rentaf property has occurred. The ordinance �� allows for three notification letters to be sent, each within three months of the previous letter. If a third notification is sent, the city has the authority to shut the rental property down until action is taken on the part of the owner, to correct the probfem. fn 2009 Police and Ci Ins ectors investi ated 104 nuisance property cases. Of those cases, , �Y P 9 fifteen resulted in a 2nd instance of nuisance property which required meetings and written remedy plans submitted to the city building official. Afso, five cases went on to a third instance of nuisance property where eviction actions took place just prior to councif action. Crime-free Multi Housing (CFMH) program for rental property continues to be an active and useful program. To become a certified CFMH property, the rental property needs to meet specific criteria set out in the program and city ordinance. Requirements indude the use of the Crime-free Drug-free {ease addendum, criminal background checks on prospective tenants, annual property inspections, participation in �{eighborhood Watch , physical security measurements (locks, iighting, signage), mandatory one day training for managers, and an active management to enforce the requirements.

Calls for assistance due to some type of inental health issue rose 14.8% in 2009. Hopkins Fire Rescue, responded to 554 medical calls for service during daytime hours, Monday • through Friday. This assistance to the police department is critical in allowing the on duty police officers sufficient time to handle other calls for service during the day. Many of the requests for assistance require two certified First Responders. In addition to all officers being trained First Responders, Hopkins Police Public Service Officers and a number of experienced Police Reserve Officers have been certified for emergency medical response. ; � 1yl,: �z �: �� .::. � : ' � ��" Motor Vehicle Crashes Motor vehicle property damage, hit and run property damage and personal injury crashes showed an overall decrease of 20% in 2009.

Captain Tony Hanlin, the Operations Commander, oversees the investigation of complaints made against officers. Connie Kurfz, Administrative Services Director, oversees the investigation of complaints against communications center personnel or administrative staff. If the complaint received is minor in nature it is normally referred to the employee's direct supervisor. The Operations Commander handles� complaints that allege an excessive use of force or criminal activity or, the Chief may refer the investigation to an outside agency. By policy, any o�cer involved shooting or unintentional death investigation will be automatically referred to another agency for investigation. Upon completion of the investigation, the results are forwarded to the Chief of Police for review. Complaint results may be listed in different categories: Sustained: complaint is support by evidence. Policy or criminal violations are present. Not Sustained: investigation failed to disclose sufficient evidence of policy or criminal violations. Exonerated: evidence establishes the acts were justified, lawful and proper or that the facts of the • complaint were materially false. Informal Action: the complaint does not allege policy or criminal violations and/or the complainant specifically requests that no formal action be taken. Employees are always informed when they are the subject of an investigation. Results and findings of the investigation are always reported to the original complainant whenever practicable. 2009 Internal Affairs Investigations — Three complaints were received and investigated. One complaint was Not Sustained following the investigation. The complainant failed to retum calls in a timely manner and did not respond to the request for an in-person interview. Two complaints were Exonerafed. The complainants did not provide proof or evidence of wrongdoing on the officers' part. _ • Ser�ice to the Cc�r�r��n�ty r��rith �1��es�y, t�tegrity arid R�s�ect � • � � � : T@8/fl Pf O �@CtS � � Each year the four patrol teams are assigned a one year project. These projects allow the patrol teams to involve neighborhoods and business areas in the search for solutions to long-tefm quality of life issues they are concerned about, While the unpredictable level of calls for service on any day may prevent team members from active work in their project area, it has been found that the one year time period allows for project work during slow periods and the extended time frame helps impact long-term solutions. Each of the night teams (6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.) worked on neighborhood concerns for their team projects. Sergeant Kristine Smith's team focused on four city parks: Bumes Park, Cottageville Park, Oakes Park and Valley Park. OfFcers notetl an increase in suspicion cafls related to loitering, � noise, and drug and gang activity in the parks. The project objectives were to decrease calls for ; service in the areas around the parks by increasing patrol time and police presence in an attempt � to deter negative activity. Officers held community meetings in each park to discuss citizen concems and explain the team project and objectives. Attendance ranged from three people to over seventy. All project contacts in the parks were documented. A"no tolerance" policy was implemented regarding disturbances, ordinance and noise violations. The result of the project was I a dramatic increase in positive police contacts with residents and park users, and a decrease in ,;:. � suspicion calls related to criminal activity. Feedback from residents and park users was extremely � � positive. By decreasing the criminal element in and around the targeted parks, residents and park users felt safer, which promoted positive use of the pa�CS. � Sergeant Darin HiIPs team addressed ongoing problems with the gang culture within the city. During the past year, officers worked to identify gang members and their associates that either live in or frequent the city of Hopkins. Through proactive patrol and increased contacts, the team discouraged gang members and their associates from congregating in several of the apartment complexes and parks. The team also identified several "nuisance properties" that were either rented or frequented by gang members on an ongoing basis. They worked with the landlords and city employees to correct various problems. These efforts improved the quality of life in Hopkins. In addition, information gathered by the team for this project assisted Investigators with several cases involving gang members and increased officer safety by providing up to date information on gang ' activity. � . � Ser�rice �o �f�e Go,�rnc�r��f�� wi�#� �o��s��, lrate�r�6t�� rtd Respecf , _ ; _ . _ , - - _ -- • � � r Traffic Projecfs and Enforcemenf Sergeant Darin Hill is the Traffic Sergeant antl coordinates traffic enforcement requests from citizens as well as special DWI enforcement. - Each of the day teams (6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) were assigned projects with an emphasis on traffic issues. Sergeant Mike Glassberg's team focused on excessive speed and failure to yield to pedeskrianslcrosswalk violations in the area of 11� Avenue South between Excelsior Boulevard and Smetana Road. The team's goal was to educate motorists about traffic laws and safety. To that end, many of their contacts resulted in wamings. However, 37 of the 88 traffic sfops conducted during the project resulted in citations as well as misdemeanor and fefony arrests. Statistically, the number of motor vehicle crashes that occurretl during the project period stayed virtually the same. In an informal survey conducted near the entl of the project, the team received positive comments and appreciation from area residents and businesses. Sergeant Gordy Klingbeil's team focused on school bus stop arm violations. The department had received several reports regarding motorists failing to stop for school bus stop arms during loading and unloading of students. These reports came from schoof employees, school patroi as weii as • school bus drivers. The team advised the Hopkins School District Transportation Director of the project and obtained school bus stop schedules. During the project, officers followed buses and parked near school bus stops to observe traffc for possible violations. Based solely on the actual number of violations reported by bus drivers, 40 in 2008 and 27 in 2009, there was a 33% reduction in stop arm violations. The project was successful in reducing the number of violations. Additionally, several bus drivers mentioned they observed increased stop arm compliance during the project ° Enforcement The Hopkins Police Depar�ment participates in Operation Nightcap, a DWI enforcement project funded by the State of Minnesota. The department received $ 3,685.00 in grant money to cover overtime cosfs for the special DWI enforcement. Officers working the Nightcap detal stopped 293 vehicles, arrested 22 impaired drivers and�issued 933 traffic citations. Due to the hard work and di(igence of officers, the amount of the Nightcap grant for 2010 was increased to $5,445.00. Traffic enforcement continues to be a focus for the department. Officers initiated 2,698 traffic stops resulting in 924 citations, and 1,684 wammgs.
