A Message From The Chief Police Chief Tom Bergamine

First and foremost, I want to thank each and everyone of you for the hard work, dedication and the professionalism that all of you displayed in 2011. This past year we have benefited from many successes. We added eight new initiatives to our Community Wellness Plan (Business Watch Groups; Veterans Court; Juvenile Repeat Offenders; Burglary Task Force; Risk Based Analysis; Radio Show with FSU; Homelessness initiative; and Smart Start). In addition, we will be celebrating the grand opening of the Family Justice Center on February 9, 2012.

We were successful in another year of reduction in violent crime.

When tragedy struck our community on April 16, 2011 in the form of devastating tornadoes, this entire department mobilized to work as one to assist our citizens who were in need. This was the first time in my tenure that I can remember the entire department being called out for a single event.

Normally, I state specific goals in my vision message. As you know, I will be retiring on July 1, 2012. With that being the case, I will not outline specific programs or initiatives in this year's vision memorandum. However, I do have two important messages that I would like to share.

First important message: now more than ever it is of the utmost importance that this Police Department stay committed to "Community Policing." As budgets become more restrictive, it is very important to engage our community. We will continue to have challenges, to include, but not limited to: mental health issues, I.D.L.E. narcotic and alcohol abuse, unemployment, poorly funded I Drive the Limit education systems, and a criminal justice system Everywhere that works on overload. Community Policing is truly important. As strategies and initiatives are added to the Community Wellness Plan, it is imperative that we remember our guiding principles: Operational Efficiency; Intelligence Led Policing; Community Partnerships; and Crime Prevention. These four guiding principles will assist us in the planning, not only for up-to-date police practices, but also cutting edge community policing strategies.

Pace Car Program

Second important message deals with "leadership." Each and every one of you, by being a member of this organization, is a leader. DO NOT be one that reacts to the moment in decision making based on political security, personal advantage, and/or relief from the current pressure point. Lead by example; be responsible and accountable; and be vigilant.

Fayetteville was created by combining two early trading settlements: Cross Creek and Campbellton. Cross Creek was located approximately one mile west of the Cape Fear River. Although Cross Creek was an important trading center by the late 1750s, it was never chartered. In 1762, the colonial assembly established and chartered Campbellton, which was located on the Cape Fear River, about one mile east of Cross Creek. In 1778, the neighboring towns of Cross Creek and Campbellton were united to become “Upper and Lower Campbellton.” In 1783, the North Carolina General Assembly approved the town’s official renaming to Fayetteville, in honor of the Marquis de LaFayette, the French nobleman who served as a General in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War

Mission/Core Values Fayetteville Police Department

Mission Statement

Problem-Oriented Policing

Core Values

We are committed to leading the community problemsolving efforts that improve the quality of life for all citizens of Fayetteville.

We will work assertively with the community to address the underlying conditions that lead to crime and disorder.

Problem-Oriented Policing is a philosophy of police work based on the realization that the majority of police time is spent answering similar calls at the same locations. Officers analyze crime to determine the underlying cause of repeat calls for service, officers then use available resources, internal or external, to prevent, solve or better control the problem.

We, the Mayor, City Council, managers, supervisors and employees serve with

F.O.C.U.S.

to safeguard and enhance the public trust in City government.

Fayetteville District Policing Team Fayetteville District Policing Team is a system of providing police services, in partnership with the community, in order to identify neighborhood quality of life issues and provide appropriate response to those issues by police and other service providers.

2011 Annual Report | Fayetteville Police Department

Focusing on Community Using Statistics (FOCUS) is a community problem solving process that serves as an accountability tool for operational commanders.

Communications Division

Upgrades and New Procedures Enhance Service Delivery By: Asst. Chief Brad Chandler The Fayetteville Police Department’s Communications Division upgraded their Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) in 2010 to meet current technology needs for receiving calls and dispatching public safety units in the field. The Communications Division also enhanced its call-taking procedures by certifying all personnel on a new program that incorporates disciplines of Emergency Police Dispatch, Emergency Fire Dispatch and Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD). The disciplines of Emergency Police Dispatch and Emergency Fire Dispatch were the first two protocols that all personnel were trained and certified to operate.

The third protocol, EMD, was the last discipline all personnel became certified in. In order to become Emergency Medical Dispatch certified, personnel had to be certified in CPR and attend a 24-hour course through the National Academy of Dispatch. In order to function as an EMD in the state of North Carolina, staff must also submit to a background investigation for the North Carolina Office of Emergency Services to issue North Carolina recognition. Emergency Medical

Dispatchers must complete 24 hours of continuing education and pass a 100 question exam to be recertified every two years.

The Fayetteville Police Department’s Communications Division dispatches for police, fire and first responder medical service for the community. Previously, all medical calls were transferred to the Cumberland County Emergency Operations Center for the medical call to be processed through Emergency Medical Dispatch. The Communications Division was authorized to start performing Emergency Medical Dispatch on June 1, 2011. From June 1, 2011 until Dec. 31, 2011, the Division processed an average of 75 medical calls a day using Emergency Medical Dispatch.

Implementing Emergency Medical Dispatch has drastically improved the emergency response time for medical calls. Callers no longer have to wait to be transferred to Cumberland County to assess their medical emergency.

Personnel in the Communications Division are able to quickly assess the nature and severity of the medical call, notify the first responders as needed and notify the Cumberland County Emergency Operations Center electronically if an ambulance is needed. Division personnel also stay in contact with the caller in order to provide important pre-arrival instructions for the patient.

The Communications Division continues to research and evaluate programs and technology that will improve their ability to quickly receive calls for assistance and to effectively deliver the proper public safety assistance needed.

Cops with Cameras in Cars An Expensive But Very Worthwhile Investment Cops with Cameras in Cars

By: Capt. Lars Paul

An expensive, but very worthwhile investment By: Capt. Lars Paul

In-car camera systems are not anything new for the Fayetteville Police Department, however, getting a high ticket item in challenging budget times is. Due to complaints of biased policing in the community, City Council made purchasing cameras a priority, providing a mutually beneficial solution for both the department and the community. For many years, the department has utilized in-car cameras as a tool for reviewing complaints, vehicle pursuits and other law enforcement responses and actions.

In 2010, the in-car camera vendor that provided both the cameras and the back-end system support for downloading video, went out of business, leaving the department with camera systems that could not be repaired and video that could not be downloaded. In July 2010, the Fayetteville Police Department began purchasing a new in-car video system from Panasonic. This system, called the Arbitrator 360, is the next generation of mobile digital video. This new system has many purposes that are mutually beneficial to both law enforcement officers and the community.

Fayetteville Police Department Reaccredited 

A Commitment to Excellence By: Police Planner Vanessa Davidson

The Fayetteville Police Department was initially accredited in November of 1989, and was the fourth agency in North Carolina and the 122nd agency overall to be internationally accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA).

The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies was formed in 1979 by four major police organizations who envisioned establishing a national set of standards for ensuring professional business practices within the law enforcement community. The founding agencies were the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), the National Sheriff’s Association (NSA) and the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF).

2011 Annual Report | Fayetteville Police Department



The Fayetteville Police Department was able to purchase and install 126 of these systems in police vehicles used for patrol and traffic enforcement purposes in 2011.

In 2011, the Fayetteville Police Department received its seventh re-accreditation award from CALEA. Following three years of self-assessment, an on-site assessment was conducted Aug. 27-30. A team of two CALEA certified assessors inspected the department’s facilities, equipment, policies and procedures. The assessors interviewed several community leaders and citizens and conducted a thorough review of 478 files for proofs of compliance with CALEA standards.

Chief Bergamine and the department’s accreditation team attended the CALEA conference in Colorado Springs, Colo. in November 2011. A panel of CALEA commissioners reviewed the assessment team’s final report and the panel recommended the FPD be awarded Meritorious Accreditation by the full

On Sept. 5, 2011, Fayetteville police received a report from a victim whose debit card had been used to make purchases at local businesses.

Police Department Employees Give Forward Fun Ideas for United Way Fundraising By: Capt. Jay DeVane and Capt. Robert Spatorico

In 2011, the Fayetteville Police Department once again teamed up to assist the United Way of Cumberland County with their annual campaign goals. The City of Fayetteville has participated and supported United Way for over 25 years. Police Capt.

Spatorico, Capt. DeVane and Officer Stacy Saunders volunteered to coordinate the fundraising campaign within the Police Department. Department personnel have been extremely generous and supportive of United Way because they are aware of how United Way gives back to the community. Many of the community organizations supported by United Way are extremely important to the Police Department and include: the Salvation Army, Red Cross, Rape Crisis Volunteers of Cumberland County (RCVCC), Retired Senior Volunteer Program, Better Health, Boy Scouts of America, Boys and Girls Clubs of Cumberland County, Catholic Charities, Cumberland County Communicare, Cumberland County Coordinating Council on Older Adults, Fayetteville Urban Ministry, Girl Scouts, Habitat for Humanity, Myrover-Reese Fellowship Home and Vision Resource to name a few. Last year, United Way of Cumberland County programs provided 2011 Annual Report | Fayetteville Police Department

assistance to over 159,000 individuals and families.

Fundraising events provide an opportunity for police employees to participate and contribute and make the process fun for all.

The second annual dunking booth and hot dog sale was the first fundraiser for the year.

It provided employees the opportunity to hone their pitching skills and sink department heads and supervisors in a dunking booth, raising approximately $776.34.

Partnering with the Finance Department, the FPD sponsored the first “RUN United 5k.” Thanks to the generosity of community sponsors, event organizers were able to offset most of the costs of the event and raised $1,800. The run took place on a brisk November morning and was a great success with 53 runners and 20 volunteers participating. Based on feedback from those who participated, as well as the success experienced with the event, it has been agreed that this will become an annual event for the department.

A chili cookoff always makes for a fun time and was open to all employees of the City who wished to participate and reap the

rewards of voting on the best chili. Seven employees entered the competition, and to make things a little more interesting, a raffle for a $500 tattoo was held due to a generous gift certificate contribution from Hot Rod Tattoos. Between raffle tickets being pre-sold and chili taster contributions, this event helped to raise over $300 for United Way. In addition to fundraisers that serve to heighten awareness among employees, the department raised the largest amount of money through the thoughtfulness and generosity of monetary commitments from both sworn and non-sworn employees. In all, employees made a commitment to donate over $23,000. Combined with the fundraising activities, the department was able to meet their contribution goal of $25,000, exceeding last year’s total donation by $3,000. The entire process was an excellent example of the generosity of the department’s personnel, not only in the giving of their money, but of their time to help the less fortunate in our community.
