FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 It is with gratitude that I present the 2020 Flagstaff Police Department Annual Report. This past year has been a challenging one for most of us, including the Flagstaff Police Department. We saw many changes at the police department, some related to the global pandemic and others related to seeing several retirements of our leadership team. I am proud that our personnel worked through COVID pandemic and continue to do so as essential personnel. Because of the pandemic new dispatch protocols were put in place to gather additional information so first responders could don appropriate personal protective equipment when responding to calls. The Department was able to write and secure a couple grants in the amount of $65,000 and $21,000 to assist with the purchase of equipment to keep our personnel safe. We had to limit in-house volunteer work, citizen ride-alongs, and many face to face community policing events as well to protect the community and our personnel. Despite being limited due to the pandemic, our Community Volunteer program was responsible for donating 736 hours which included assistance in the armory, the Better Bucks program, the Citizen’s Academy and other programs. In 2020, our personnel worked several first amendment assemblies and protests. Thankfully they resulted in little violence and property damage. Members of the Department were able to take part in 393 community support meetings, an increase of 13.3% from 2019. Community Relations and other staff completed 1,518 public speaking presentations, as well as media releases which included radio and television interviews. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, virtual tours and presentations were provided to the community during Red Ribbon Week and other popular community events. We still conducted two Citizen’s Police Academies with social distancing and mask requirements. Classes met weekly on Wednesday nights/ and several Saturdays. We advertised and promoted several traffic initiatives including pedestrian safety awareness, and child safety seat enforcement. This was undertaken after an educational component in collaboration with the Coconino County Safe Kids organization. Crime prevention information was provided at two drug drop and shred a thons. The Northern Arizona Law Enforcement Toy Drive delivered toys to hundreds of children throughout Northern Arizona, to include the Navajo Nation. This was possible due to the $11,000 in donations our community gave towards the toy drive. Officers continued to work with Nancy Lieberman Charities to host community youth programming at the Dream Court, located at the Boys and Girls Club in Flagstaff. Our inaugural youth basketball clinic was held and attended by 20 youth participants, with a local travel basketball coach leading the clinic. High school students participated in a two-day law enforcement career day hosted by the department, in conjunction with the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office.

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Our training section was responsible for providing and documenting 16,958 hours of training, which translates to approximately 150 hours of training per certified officer. (This includes recruit academy training as well as advanced officer training and field training). Officers continued to attend various block watch meetings mostly virtual throughout the community and participated in dozens of Boards and Commissions to support our many partners. Our Department maintained a strong social media presence throughout the year, updating our Facebook page and website often with helpful information for the public, and perhaps most importantly, continued our use of the Flagstaff PD Transparency.com website to post police reports, policies and body camera video immediately following critical incidents in our community. The Flagstaff Police Department works closely with all law enforcement agencies in the region. There is no finer example of this collaboration than the Northern Arizona Street Crimes Task Force. This is a multi- agency, street crimes and narcotics task force that has been in existence for over thirty years. The Flagstaff Police Department supports this initiative by providing office space, and employing an administrative assistant, unit Sergeant, two officers/agents and a Lieutenant who oversees the operation. Over the course of the year several thousands of dollars- worth of illegal drugs were removed from our community. To best allocate our limited resources, the Flagstaff Police Department employs the CompStat program. This program entails an in-depth study of crime trends every month, with a supervisory meeting monthly to discuss crime and hot spots in the community. Goals for numbers of arrests are replaced with crime reduction goals and operations and projects are formulated using data that reflects where crime is occurring, who is committing it and the root problem of the criminal activity. These tactics resulted in the Department achieving many of its goals in reducing criminal activity in 2020. The community benefitted from reductions in aggravated assaults, burglaries, larceny theft, shoplifting and collisions last year. Property crime fell 18% in Flagstaff in 2020, with a 15% reduction in crime overall. We also conferred 10 Lifesaving awards (a historical first), on officers who provided emergency medical care to those suffering from life ending conditions. The Department is monitoring a couple of concerning trends. The community experienced an increase in sexual assaults in 2020 (12 more cases representing a 34% increase). Some of these cases were late reported (the incident happened in previous years), but it is a trend we are monitoring carefully, and will continue to work with our partners (NAU, Northern Arizona Care and Services after Assault-NACASA, Victim Witness and others) as we enter 2021. We also monitored an increase in reported domestic violence cases throughout 2020. The year ended with a 5.7% increase in domestic violence incidents. With the influx of student housing in Flagstaff, it is important to note that per statute, the domestic violence classification is placed on all incidents involving roommates living under the same roof. We will once again work closely with our partners to continue to monitor and address this trend. Page 4

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 We were successful in reforming a few of our policies to better align with community expectations. We were able to put a dozen officers through an advanced crisis intervention training to give them more tools to help on calls with those suffering from mental illness. We partnered with the Crisis Response Network and Terros Mobile Response so they could respond to non-emergent mental health calls when available in lieu of Police Officers. In closing, 2020 was a challenging year for the Flagstaff Police Department in terms of hiring and retaining qualified personnel. In 2020, we conducted 61 background investigations and hired 11 officers and eight (8) dispatchers. We conducted 60 background investigations on prospective applicants. I am very proud of the hard work and dedication of the men and women of the Flagstaff Police Department. With the achievements made in 2020 and the anticipation of even more progress in 2021, we look forward to the future secure in the knowledge the City we serve is supportive of our efforts to keep Flagstaff safe, and will continue to partner with us in keeping it that way.

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 2020 FOP Officer of the Year Officer John Castaneda

Officer John Castaneda was selected as this year’s FOP Officer of the Year. Castaneda was hired by the Flagstaff Police Department in April 2018 and graduated from the Arizona Law Enforcement Academy in September of 2018. Upon completion of Field Training, Officer Castaneda was assigned to David Squad. Once on patrol, Castaneda quickly demonstrated his ability and motivation in wanting to succeed. Castaneda focused on the Department’s Mission statement “to protect and preserve life” and found his niche in Impaired Driving Detection and drug related investigations and never looked back. During 2019, Officer Castaneda had 43 DUI related arrests, which led the entire department and 75 felony arrests which is approximately 1/3 rd of his squad’s total felony arrests. Castaneda’s hard work and exceptional work ethic was quickly recognized by our Criminal Investigation’s department and METRO Narcotics Department. His thorough investigations and detailed reports have been acknowledged on numerous occasions by Detectives, his dedication in drug related investigations earned him an invitation to the Arizona Narcotic Officers Association Conference. In September of 2019, Castaneda assisted with a drive by shooting investigation and recognized the suspect vehicle and registered owner from prior law enforcement contacts. Castaneda was able to provide detailed information regarding the prior contacts with the suspect and suspect vehicle which ultimately led to an arrest and seizure of 3.5 ounces of methamphetamine, a firearm, and approximately $2000 cash. Castaneda’s knowledge and alertness to this incident helped keep a violent drug offender off the streets. In October of 2019, Castaneda received a commendation for his actions regarding a combative subject with a deadly weapon at the Grey Hound Bus Station. Castaneda showed great restraint while deescalating the situation as opposed to using deadly force. Castaneda’s actions were a great demonstration of preserving life, in support of our mission. Page 18

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Castaneda is often approached by his squad mates for advice. He is never concerned about working long hours and often conducts self-initiated investigations up to the last minute of his shift, to properly serve crime victims. His ability to speak Spanish fluently has not only been an asset for the Flagstaff Police Department, but his skills have often been requested by surrounding agencies to assist with investigations. Castaneda has also built a great rapport within the Spanish speaking community within Flagstaff. He conducts himself in a manner consistent of a leader and works selflessly to develop others, so they may also be successful in their career with the Flagstaff Police Department.

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 2020 VFW Officer of the Year Officer Adam Williams

Adam Williams was hired with the Flagstaff Police Department in April of 2018. He lateralled to our department from Pima County, where he served admirably for several years, leaving as a detective. Adam served in the Air Force prior to his law enforcement career. As a new officer to our agency he hit the ground running. He immediately became the top producer of field activity on his squad and took on two Block watch programs. These included the Downtown Business Alliance, and the Bicycle Education and Diversion program. He supported the Downtown Business Alliance by conducting walking beat details, bicycle patrol, and working several protests related to social justice issues. Under the Bicycle education and Diversion program, he attends the bicycle advisory committee meetings and is the lead instructor for the bicycle diversion program, which allows those who have received a citation on their bicycle to take an educational class in order to have the citation dismissed. Recently Adam volunteered to assist with training all staff on our new records management system. This new system was delayed several years due to not being user ready. Needless to say, navigating the system remains a challenge for most officers, even those with strong computer skills. Adam has made himself available after work hours to help trouble shoot issues and assist officers in getting the proper information inputted into the system. Most recently Adam completed the motor academy and is awaiting an opening on the traffic squad so he can ride the motorcycle. Adam is one of our field training officers, and has trained several of our new officers, allowing them to learn from his past experiences. Adam also serves as a firearms instructor, and defensive tactics instructor. Adam is nominated for this award, because he is always volunteering to increase the safety and expertise of his fellow officers and holds himself to the highest traditions of the police profession and Mission of the Flagstaff Police Department and service to our community.

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 2020 Meritorious Service Officer Nick Oliver

On January 16th, 2020, Officer John Oliver was on patrol and responded to North Third Street regarding a an intoxicated father who as suicidal and armed with a knife. The call indicated the father still had possession of the knife and was outside of the residence with his daughter. When Officer Oliver arrived at the residence, the suicidal father was holding a large fixed-blade knife to his neck and sitting on a retaining wall next to his daughter. Officer Oliver responded appropriately and drew his firearm and gave the father commands to drop the knife in front of a crowd of his family. Instead of complying with commands, the suicidal man stood up with the knife in his right hand and began walking toward Oliver who was approximately twelve feet from him. The man held the knife up in an aggressive manner at his chest level. Oliver tactically backed away from the suicidal man, and continued to give him commands to drop the knife. The man continued to walk toward Oliver with the knife. Oliver’s backup officer was about to arrive to the scene, but the suicidal man’s actions put Officer Oliver’s life in imminent jeopardy requiring him to take immediate action. Officer Oliver drew his less-lethal taser device with his left hand, and he was able to successfully deploy it, advance, and kick the knife away. Oliver was justified in using deadly force against the suicidal father in front of his family, but he took extraordinary measures that are outside of the regular training methods of our officers to save the man. Officer Oliver upheld the department’s mission and value statements to protect and preserve life to the highest degree, and he put his own safety in jeopardy to do so. Officer Oliver calmly consoled the man afterward and was told his brother had passed away the same day. Officer Oliver remained calm during the entire event and treated the suicidal man with dignity and respect despite just being attacked by him with a knife. Officer Oliver ensured the man received the appropriate first aid and mental health treatment afterward. Officer Oliver’s actions are in line with our highest value of protecting and preserving life. He is hereby awarded the Meritorious Service Award.

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Lifesaving Award Officer Angel Arzola Ortega

On January 16th, 2020, Officer Angel Arzola initiated an emergency response to a heart attack in progress at the Aqua Plex. Upon his arrival he ran inside the building and found an unresponsive male on the floor on the second level. The subject had collapsed while running on the treadmill. Aqua-plex staff had hooked the subject up to an Automatic Electronic Defibrillator, and indicted they were not getting a response. Arzola immediately started Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Arzola was able to get a slight pulse, as medics showed up and took over working the subject. According to medics, the subject coded and was shocked several more times on the way to the hospital. Ultimately the subject survived and walked out of the hospital several days later. Emergency personnel credited Arzola with starting the chain (CPR) which ultimately kept the subject alive. For these reasons Officer Angel Arzola is honored with the Flagstaff Police Department Lifesaving Award.

Lifesaving Award Officers Christopher Wesley and Anthony Cordes On March 7th, 2020, at 0132 hours, Officers Chris Wesley and Anthony Cordes responded to call for service in East Flagstaff. The unknown caller told dispatch that a 21-year-old female had fainted and was not breathing. The caller further reported the female was turning blue, had a very faint pulse and it may be an overdose on pain medications. Upon arrival Wesley and Cordes assessed the situation. They assessed the female patient and recognized that she no longer had a pulse and was not breathing. They realized she needed immediate medical assistance and CPR was started. Additionally, they recognized the signs/symptoms of a narcotic overdose and brought their Naloxone (Narcan) from their vehicle. They worked together and administered two separate doses of Naloxone to reverse a narcotic overdose.

On 05-12-20, Officers Jason Blair and Tanner Johnston responded to Motel 6 located on Woodland Village for a priority call of a male subject who was not breathing. The officers responded in PPE due to COVID. Upon Officer Johnston’s arrival, a female was conducting CPR. Johnston relieved her and began chest compressions. After approximately 50 compressions, Officer Blair arrived, and Johnston announced the male was vomiting what appeared to be blood or bile. Blair assisted in placing the subject on his side. Blair observed the position of the subject’s eyes and knew from his training and experience it was a sign of an overdose. Blair asked the female if the subject had taken any illegal drugs. The female stated the subject had taken M-30 pills, but she did not know how many but believed the subject had taken all of them. Blair knew the pills to be Fentanyl. Blair ran to his vehicle and returned to the room with NARCAN. He administered the first dose of NARCAN and announced this to Dispatch. He attempted to get a response from the male and checked for a pulse. He administered the second dose of NARCAN. The subject slowly responded to the NARCAN and had a slight pulse. Medics arrived and the officers informed the medics what the subject had taken and 2 doses of NARCAN had been administered. Medics began transport and the subject was responding to the medics.

Ofc Syers was around the corner from the call on an unrelated matter when he heard the call come out. Ofc Syers arrived on scene and located the reporting party in the front yard, who was a friend of the victim who was inside. The reporting party was gaming online with the victim, when he noticed the victim did not appear to be breathing. Ofc Syers looked through the front window and could see the victim slumped over in a chair. The victim did not respond to Ofc Syers knocking or verbal commands. The front door was locked and Ofc Syers without hesitation understood he needed to enter the apartment to render immediate life-saving medical aid. Ofc Syers forced entry through the front door and requested the reporting party enter the residence to assist him by removing the victim from the chair. Ofc Syers noticed the victim was very pale and was not breathing. Ofc Syers administered chest compressions and only after approximately 20 seconds, the victim became somewhat alert. The victim appeared dazed and was unaware of his surroundings at the moment he came around. Ofc Syers questioned him about any medical conditions followed by any recreational drug use.

Lifesaving Award Officers Siearra Padilla

On 05/30/2020 at approximately 0213 hours, Officer Siearra Padilla responded to a call for service for a 25-year-old subject who was not breathing and possibly choking. Officer Padilla was first on scene and located the subject inside a hotel room laying on his back and barely breathing; The breathing then stopped. Officer Padilla began chest compressions and continued for approximately 60 seconds until she heard shallow breathing again. During this time Officer Padilla was calm and worked on collecting medical information that could assist the still responding medics. After another 60 seconds, the subject stopped breathing again and was found to have no pulse. Officer Padilla re-started chest compressions for an extended period until medics arrived. Padilla observed a white powdery substance next to a partially crushed pill lying next to the subject. The substance was later found to be Fentanyl. Medics administered Naloxone to reverse the narcotic overdose, and the subject regained his pulse/breathing and was transported to the Flagstaff Medical Center for observation. Upon further investigating, it was confirmed the subject took Fentanyl, guised as Percocet, prior to losing all signs of life. Fentanyl has been the cause of multiple overdose deaths in Flagstaff and all over the nation. It was apparent that due to Officer Padilla’s approximate 4 minutes and 33 seconds of chest compressions, she prevented this subject from dying prior to medic arrival. Officer Padilla’s actions in saving a life, bring honor to her and our agency in support of our mission of protecting and preserving life. She is hereby awarded the lifesaving award.

COMPSTAT PROGRAM This year marks the thirteenth full year of the department’s use of the CompStat Policing Model. CompStat calls for a multifaceted, dynamic approach to crime reduction and resource allocation. Data is collected, disseminated and analyzed on a regular basis so effective strategies and tactics can be developed to prevent or solve crimes. Using these strategies, the Flagstaff Police Department and its resources are rapidly deployed to most effectively reduce crime and protect property. The final principle of CompStat is relentless follow-up and assessment to ensure results are achieved. One of the many benefits to CompStat is through constant assessment, follow-up and intelligence gathering we can define specific crime trends and deploy resources to prevent crime before it occurs. Police Sergeants and Corporals are responsible for analyzing data, developing and implementing crime reduction strategies for specific geographic areas or specific times of the day based on the CompStat report. Weekly crime bulletins provided by the Crime Analyst and monthly CompStat meetings allow the Chief of Police and his Command Staff to collaborate with the Sergeants and other supervisors to review and refine these strategies and hold each member of the Police Department team accountable for effective results. We have also instituted leadership training once every quarter to include training on police professionalism, liability issues, current events, new policies and to increase employee engagement with the leaders of our department.

Page 41

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 ACCOMPLISHMENTS The mission of the Police Division is to protect and preserve life, property, the rights of the individual and public order. This is accomplished through a process of collaboration and teamwork with individuals and organizations in our community. We believe protecting life and property, preserving the peace, and upholding the rights of individuals are among our highest priorities. We accomplish our mission using community policing programs, data-driven decision making, intelligence-led policing and other proactive tactics to suppress crime, apprehend criminal offenders and help hold them accountable. The uniformed patrol division, criminal investigations division and various special assignments and task force operations comprise the operational units of the Flagstaff Police Department. We revised CompStat by introducing a strategic management system to allow for more timely information sharing and pre-emptive policing to help prevent crime. Using monthly CompStat meetings to share timely information about highrisk traffic areas allowed patrol supervisors to direct their officers to proactively address unsafe driving behavior through enforcement. We continued to improve and enhance the Body Worn Camera program as we recently introduced the second generation of Axon Body Worn Camera, known as the Flex-2. The use of body cameras increases transparency and enhances effective prosecution. The cameras assist with citizen complaint investigations and the review of the use of force incidents, and/or misconduct and provide training to officers. All uniformed officers on the Flagstaff Police Department are equipped with body cameras. We conducted 393 community support meetings in addition to neighborhood related Block Watch meetings. Educational items included information on immigration enforcement, search and seizure, suicide prevention, identity theft, medical marijuana, and property crime, etc. We modified and streamlined our background and fingerprinting process by incorporating electronic scheduling; this helped reduce the number of indiduals in our lobby and serves as one example of the efforts taken to help minimize the spread of COVID-19. We continued to purchase all-wheel drive patrol vehicles, so staff time is not lost putting chains on rear wheel drive cars, and response times are less impacted by winter weather. This year we were able to rotate out additional rear wheel drive cars with the purchase of two (2) Ford Police Interceptor Hybrid AWD Utility vehicles. We increased the skill and confidence level of our officers by providing training. In 2020, we provided 5,106 hours of advanced officer training. We strengthened the Department’s informal and formal counseling abilities through the expansion of additional training for the CISM (Crisis Incident Stress Management) teams and the Departments Peer Mentoring Program. We continued scheduling appointments for the Police Awareness Support Services Program also known as PASS. This program is helped to break the stigma of getting help for our officers and civilian employees and families. One recent initiative created was bringing in house a licensed counselor to be available to staff one a month. These appointments have been booked every time the counselor is on site. We plan to continue to grow this program into 2021 and continue to help our employees with mental and physical health. Page 42

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020

TRAFFIC SQUAD Maintaining safe roadways for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians is a high priority for the Flagstaff Police Department. Patrol officers are directed to conduct traffic enforcement for the causal factors of collisions at the locations where crashes occur most frequently. There were 2,199 total collisions in 2020; of those 1,928 were non-injury collisions, representing a decrease of 21% from the previous year. In 2020, there were 271 injury collisions and three (3) collisions which resulted in fatalities. Injury collisions were down 33% and fatalities decreased 25% when compared to the 2019 totals. In 2020, officers issued 3,937 citations for traffic related offenses such as speeding and red-light violations. This is a decrease of 35% from the number of traffic citations issued in 2019. Our department issued 6,973 warnings in 2020, which is a decrease of 18% from the year prior. In 2020, our department arrested 473 impaired drivers. This is a 3% decrease from the year prior. Total traffic stops were down by 28%, from 17,343 stops in 2019 to 12,403 stops in 2020. The members of the Traffic Unit were responsible for issuing 33% of the department's citation total in 2020. Members of the Traffic Unit are Sergeant Jeff James, Officer Kevin Rueb, Officer Mike Priest, Officer Ryan Priest and Officer Adam Williams. All members of the Traffic Unit are certified Police Motorcycle Officers. Officers utilize police motorcycles as weather and staffing permits. The motorcycle units are most effective providing enforcement in congested areas where patrol cars are ineffective. Our department continues to conduct traffic safety campaigns. Each campaign is several months long and includes a public education component followed by an emphasis on enforcement for a specific violation. All officers at the department participate and they receive training prior to the start of each safety campaign. The Traffic Unit receives input from citizens regarding specific traffic problems and aggressively works these citizen complaint zones. Citizens can report traffic complaints either by calling the police department or utilizing the online traffic complaint form. All online traffic complaint forms are forwarded to the Traffic Unit. A Traffic Officer is assigned to work each traffic complaint. The online collision form was introduced by the Traffic Unit in 2017. This service is offered to citizens that want to file their crash report on-line in lieu of having an officer respond to the scene. Officers will still respond to a scene anytime a citizen requests it. Use of the online form keeps officers available for other calls for service as well as it decreases police response time. All online collision reports are forwarded to the Traffic Unit. As a result, the Traffic Unit is assigned a large number of collision investigations. Traffic officers investigated 34% of the total collisions which occurred in our city during 2020. Traffic officers have duties and assignments other than traffic enforcement and collision investigation. Traffic Officers also provide traffic control, conduct funeral escorts, assist with disabled vehicles and roadway obstructions, and act as back up for our patrol officers. The Traffic Unit is also assigned to work special events, like parades and community functions. Members of the Traffic Unit were often called upon to assist with the numerous citizen protests that happened in 2020.

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Collision Reconstruction Team The Flagstaff Police Department Collision Reconstruction Team (CRT) is composed of officers from varying divisions of the Police Department. These officers have received advanced training in collision investigations to include crash reconstruction, scene preservation and evidence collection, vehicle and pedestrian dynamics, and other advanced topics. The CRT team is supervised by Detective Joe Gilbert. The rest of the team members are Sergeant Ryan Turley, Detective Shawn Knott, Detective Jared Wotasik, Officer Matt Schmidt, and Detective Michael Hansen. These team members are responsible for reconstructing fatal and serious injury collisions and complete follow-up interviews, detailed case reports, and diagrams of these collisions. All team members meet on a regular basis to review past and present investigations and conduct training on topics related to collision investigations and equipment use. The CRT utilizes the Leica RTC360 scanning equipment, which is shared with other Northern Arizona agencies and was obtained with drug seizure funds for use in crash reconstruction and serious crime scenes. In 2020, the team conducted six (6) collision reconstruction investigations, with two (2) of those investigations being fatal collisions. In addition, numerous team members responded to assist detectives with the 3D mapping of homicide scenes and other serious crime scenes, as well as assisting other agency partners such as the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office and Northern Arizona University Police Department.

Police Aides In 2019, the Flagstaff Police Department hired Police Aides for the first time. Each of the Aides went through a training academy. That academy was conducted at the Flagstaff Police Department over the course of two weeks. Training included physical conditioning, defensive tactics, and classroom education. All Police Aides then successfully completed a four week on-the-job training under the individual supervision of a Traffic Officer. Police Aides provide supportive services which frees up time for our patrol officers. Police Aides handle a variety of calls. These calls include, but are not limited to: found property, lost property, public assists, subpoena service, parking problems, funeral escorts, disabled vehicles, traffic control, and vehicle tows. Police Aides also assist the Traffic Squad with the aforementioned list of special events

TACTICAL OPERATIONS (SWAT) The Emergency Services Response Team, comprised of officers with primary assignments in various sections of the department, handles the containment and apprehension of armed barricaded persons, hostage incidents, found explosives and other potentially volatile situations. The Emergency Services Response Team consists of three units, the Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT), Negotiations, and the Bomb Squad. Officers take great pride in their equipment, training, and professionalism during crisis incidents. The SWAT Team, with membership in the National Tactical Officers Association, consists of officers from the Flagstaff Police Department, the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office, and seven Flagstaff Firefighters who serve as team medics. In addition to receiving training, SWAT officers bring training back to their individual squads to better equip fellow officers with their daily duties. In 2019, SWAT officers received national level training in the areas of basic SWAT tactics and movement and Long-Range Precision Marksmanship. SWAT Officers continued to train in Active Shooter Preparedness, Zone-Based Movement, Open Field Movement and Nighttime operations using Night Vision devices and Firearms.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS SWAT Officers deployed as a team to eight callouts this year. Several of the call outs involved armed or suspected to be armed barricaded subjects. In January, SWAT was called out for a subject barricaded in his vehicle in Williams at the Safeway grocery store. The subject was wanted in connection to a kidnapping and was armed with a handgun. The suspect tried to flee the scene and the Tactical Operations Rescue Vehicle was used to ram the vehicle and prevent his escape. Negotiations were initiated and during that time the suspect shot himself in the leg, exited the vehicle and was taken into custody without further incident. In June, SWAT responded to a remote area near Ashfork regarding a fight between two males that resulted in shots being fired. Upon arrival SWAT aided in securing the area and secured both individuals, resulting in no further violent activity. In August, SWAT responded to an Officer involved shooting in the Parks area. A subject had fired shots at neighbors and Deputies and had barricaded in his home. Upon arrival SWAT arrested the suspect in the street and cleared the residence. In September, SWAT responded to a call of an armed suspect barricaded in a Conex box located behind a local restaurant. SWAT set a perimeter and during negotiations the suspect fired rounds at officers and was wounded with return fire and taken into custody. In October, SWAT responded to a subject who was barricaded inside an 18-wheeler on I-40 who had been involved in a lengthy pursuit with DPS. The suspect had driven the wrong way on the freeway and lethal force had been used to stop the semi. SWAT arrived and provided armed support as the suspect was taken into custody. Throughout the year, SWAT Officers assisted the Flagstaff METRO Narcotics Squad by covering undercover buys, executing buy/busts and other dynamic types of arrests.

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020

CRISIS NEGOTIATIONS TEAM Incidents involving barricaded subjects, hostage takers, or persons threatening suicide are stressful moments for law enforcement personnel who respond to them. Officers responding to these scenes quickly assess the totality of the situation, secure the area, gauge the threat to hostages or bystanders, and request additional resources, as appropriate. Crisis negotiators must establish contact with subjects; identify their demands and work to resolve these tense and volatile standoffs without loss of life. The five members of the Crisis Negotiations Team are on call to diffuse volatile situations through verbal communications with suspects. Officers assigned to this team are trained to work closely with the Tactical Operations Team and with the Coconino County Sheriff’s Department Crisis Response Team.

Accomplishments The Crisis Negotiations Team responded to four calls in 2020. The first call occurred in January 2020, when the team responded to a suspect barricaded in the residence at a residence in Kachina Village. Negotiators made contact,THE suspect claimed to not be inside house, refused to talk with us as well as lied and said he was not the suspect. Ultimately the suspect was not inside and he was located at a later date and taken into custody. In October of 2020, a law enfrorcemet officer from Clarkdale, who was wanted for questioning in a domestic violence strangulation incident was located inside his apartment on S. Milton. The CNT attempted to make contact with the suspect, but was unsuccessful; when contact could not be made, the SWAT Team started to execute their plan; as they began their movement towards the apartment, the suspect walked outside and was taken into custody. In December 2020, a domestic violence suspect had taken his girlfriend hostage while driving around in the area of Blue Ridge. Negotiators made contact but the suspect would not provide his location and claimed to be driving home to the valley. He was later located in Holbrook and taken into custody without any parties injured. Also in December 2020, Negotiations was called to assist DPS with a barricade after a pursuit on I-40. Negotiations was on scene as the suspect came out and was taken into custody without injury. Page 60

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020

BOMB SQUAD The primary mission of the Bomb Squad is to ensure the safety and well-being of residents in the City as well as the safety of all public safety personnel who may be first responders to an explosive-related incident. The Flagstaff Police Department Bomb Squad has been serving the residents of Flagstaff since 1970. The team is comprised of five highly trained bomb technicians who are responsible for handling, transportation and rendering safe all explosive items located within the City and Coconino County. This responsibility extends to the proper handling of abandoned explosives and chemicals that have outlived their life expectancy. The team also assists other local agencies with explosives and the SWAT and Hostage Negotiations Teams with barricaded suspects.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS In 2020, The Flagstaff Police Department Bomb Squad responded to approximately fifteen calls for service both inside and outside the City. These included suspicious packages calls, found explosives or devices, hoax devices, protective sweeps, threat calls, and assisting SWAT. In addition, members of the team conducted numerous explosive destructions and inspections, security assignments and dignitary protection details.

In 2020 COVID-19 greatly reduced the amount and number of in-person events that the Bomb Team normally participate in. Annual events such as the Citizen’s Police Academies, Touch-a-Truck, National Night Out, and Flagstaff Leadership Program were not held. The Police Academy training in explosives safety was conducted. The members of the Bomb Squad are required to complete 16 hours a month of proficiency training, one 40-hour class a year and recertify every three years to maintain their certification.

Detective Wotasik was unable to complete his scheduled 6 week Hazardous Device Certification Course in Huntsville, AL, due to COVID-19. He was placed on a waiting list, and scheduled for early 2021. Detective Murray and Sergeant Hernandez attended the week long ADETS (Advanced Demolition and Explosives Symposium) class in Glendale. During COVID, numerous virtual trainings were attended by team members. These trainings were conducted by the Hazardous Devices School (HDS), the FBI, and the BATFE.

The men and women of the Criminal Investigations Division combat crime by conducting prompt, efficient and diligent investigations. Detectives use all available technological resources and traditional investigative methods to solve crimes, identify and apprehend suspects, locate missing persons and recover stolen property. By adhering to a community policing philosophy, members of the division form a partnership with crime victims and law-abiding citizens to improve the quality of life in our community and interdict crime and disorder. The Criminal Investigations Division comprised of a Lieutenant, two Sergeants, and 12 Detectives is responsible for investigating felony crimes, deaths and missing persons. The department also has a Crime Analyst assigned to the section. The Crime Analyst tracks crime trends within the City and produces a weekly Intelligence Bulletin showing these trends. This assists the Department in allocating resources to these affected areas to combat and reduce crime. Detectives were assigned 3,455 cases in 2020 which is a 3.6% increase from last year. The Criminal Investigation Section had an overall clearance rate of 56.9% in 2020 which is down 11.7% from the previous year. The National Clearance Benchmark rate is 48.1%. Reducing the number of pending cases, while maintaining quality customer service, continued to be an important focus for the Criminal Investigations Division.

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 DETECTIVE MAJOR CRIME CASES Homicides Detectives were called to a local apartment for a child that had stopped breathing. Investigation showed that a five year old and his brother had been kept in a closet and had been starved for several months. The children’s guardians were all interviewed and it was learned that both of the children had been abused and starved resulting in the death. The apartment was processed for evidence and photos. All three adult relatives were charged with first-degree murder. Detectives were called to a victim that had been partially buried by placing rocks over his body. Investigation showed that the victim was strangled and buried by a subject he had been drinking with at a local motel. The suspect was traveling through Flagstaff and was booked for homicide after admitting to the altercation and strangulation and attempted concealment of the victim’s body. Detectives were called to an apartment community after shots fired in the parking lot. Several witnesses reported a male subject had shot a female resident next to a car and fled the scene in the vehicle. The female was transported but died from her wounds at the hospital. Investigation discovered that the victim was visiting family and a domestic violence altercation resulted in her boyfriend shooting her and fleeing to the reservation. The suspect was located by tribal police on the reservation and after another shooting he was arrested for homicide as well as several other charges. Detectives were called to a south side neighborhood for a male who was deceased from a gunshot wound to the head. The scene had been staged to appear like a suicide but it was quickly discovered the victim’s brother in law was found passed out behind the residence and there was evidence he had shot the victim. He admitted to an altercation after a night of heavy drinking that resulted in him shooting his brother in law in the head and staging the suicide. Suspect is in custody on second-degree murder. Detectives were called to a downtown park for a victim who had been stabbed in the back and was transported for immediate medical care. The victim was pronounced deceased at the hospital and a neighborhood canvass turned up several leads.

Page 65

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Aggravated Assault Detectives were called to the scene of a report of a victim who had been shot outside of a local apartment. Interviews were completed and it was reported that the victim was shot twice in the leg after a physical altercation broke out between two party goers. The suspect was identified and arrested later and is charged with aggravated assault. Kidnapping An attempted Kidnapping of an infant was reported at a local grocery store. Detectives found that the child was in a shopping cart in a car seat when a man tried to wheel the cart out of the store while the child’s mother was checking out. The mother was able to retrieve the child and the male suspect fled. From the video surveillance and interviews a detective remembered a distinctive vehicle parked in a trailer park. The suspect was located and arrested for attempted kidnapping. Armed Robbery Detectives were called to the area under the Country Club overpass for three subjects assaulting a victim in the area. The suspects were all interviewed and a passerby identified them and said they were assaulting the victim with a knife and a pipe and stealing his property. From the victim’s statements and evidence collected three suspects were booked and are charged with Armed Robbery. Detectives were called to a robbery at a local hotel on Lucky Lane. The clerk had been sprayed with pepper spray and items were stolen from the area behind the counter. The female suspect was apprehended by patrol officers who were quickly on scene. She was located with the stolen property along with drug paraphernalia. The suspect was charged with robbery, aggravated assault, and burglary. Train fatalities Detectives were called to several different locations along the train crossings in Flagstaff for subjects hit by the train. In one of the cases two subjects were struck by the passing train when they disregarded the safety measures and tried to cross. Detectives found one of the two subjects was deceased from the blunt force of the train on scene. The other subject had been able to walk away to a nearby landscaping area where he was found the next day also deceased from the collision. In a separate incident at a location near Fanning drive a subject was struck and killed by the train when he crossed under the crossing arms and was hit by the train. All of the train fatalities had alcohol intoxication as a contributing factor. Vehicle fatalities Detectives investigated several vehicle/ pedestrian collisions resulting in fatalities in 2020. One subject was found deceased after being hit in the area of Fourth Street and Dortha. The driver initially fled the scene but was later located and arrested attempting to fix the damage to his vehicle. He faces felony hit and run charges. In a separate incident a subject was struck as he crossed North Highway 89. The driver stopped and remained at the scene. This driver was found not to be impaired and his actions did not contribute to the collision. Page 66

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS Detectives continue to use CompStat methods to assist in crime mapping and conduct proactive property crime investigations. Detectives started and maintained monthly community meetings, which are called FRAPA (Flagstaff Retail Asset Protection Association). During these meetings, approximately 15 loss prevention agents and store managers from local retail stores share information with detectives to identify and apprehend frequent suspects in shoplifting cases. Through this partnership, we can reduce property crimes that occur at local retail shops and through collaborative efforts several arrests have been made. Currently, one detective and one detective sergeant are assigned to the department’s SWAT Team and one detective is assigned to the Negotiations Team. Four detectives are assigned to the departmental Collision Reconstruction Team and two are assigned to the department’s Bomb Squad. Three detectives participate in the Coconino County Coordinated Community Response Team for Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault. Three detectives are also phlebotomists for the Department. Detectives taught at the Citizen’s Police Academy and continue to participate in the “Challenge Program” at the two local high schools. Several detectives are involved in a pool to provide educational presentations on a variety of topics at monthly community meetings. As a result, several presentations were given through the city on several topics including internet safety, identity theft, and crime scene investigations.

TRAINING Detectives have received training in interview and interrogation, police-involved shootings, suicide awareness prevention, computer forensics, death investigation, and intelligence gathering. Several detectives also received numerous hours of instruction in child abductions and how to respond to them.

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020

The Flagstaff Police Department has partnered with other local law enforcement agencies to form the Northern Arizona Street Crimes Task Force Metro unit, commonly known as Metro. The unit has been in place since 1987 and is housed in the Flagstaff Police Department. The primary objectives of the task force are to investigate, arrest and prosecute narcotic traffickers in and around Northern Arizona. Metro Narcotics is comprised Fentanyl disguised as Oxycodone of three Detectives and a Sergeant that work for the Flagstaff Police Department and the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office. They work with ATF, FBI, HSI, DEA, GIITEM, Navajo County Sheriff’s Office and the US Marshalls on a regular basis and completed over 200 controlled purchases of drugs and firearms in 2019. They work drug crimes and dangerous felony warrants on the Navajo and Hopi Reservations in Northern Arizona with the FBI as part of the FBI Safe Streets Task Force. All the Metro detectives are FBI Task Force Officers. During the early stage of the past year, Metro Narcotics targeted street level and large level Methamphetamine, Heroin, Cocaine, and M30 Fentanyl pill dealers as well as other known career criminals in the Flagstaff area. During the multiple undercover operations, Metro Narcotics purchased drugs from more than 42 of Flagstaff’s local criminals. Some large quantity dealers from the Phoenix Metro area were also targeted as they supplied drugs to Flagstaff. Metro purchased 642.936 grams of Methamphetamine, 291.98 grams of Cocaine, 17.35 grams of Heroin, 414 M30 Fentanyl pills, 20 Xanax bars, and 5 Ecstasy tablets. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the courts are concentrating on dangerous and violent offenders. Counterfeit Oxycodone pills that contain Fentanyl are an epidemic across our community and the country. In 2020 there have been more than 14 overdoses in Coconino County alone. Metro detectives directed much of their efforts in 2020 to buying the counterfeit Fentanyl pills and getting dealers off the streets in an effort to prevent more overdoses. Metro Detectives opened 24 cases involving Fentanyl Sales from 14 individuals.

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 While conducting these investigations in the greater Flagstaff area, Metro and FBI conducted simultaneous investigations. Metro was able to get in to a mid-level dealer that was well known by the unit. This dealer has cartel and gang relations. Utilizing a confidential and reliable informant, several large quantity cocaine purchases were made. Metro was able to obtain a warrant for a tracker on the suspect’s vehicle. A multi-agency operation was set up and the dealer was stopped during a drug run with three quarters of a pound of cocaine and an ounce and a half of marijuana. On top of the charges picked up in the bust, charges are pending for sales of narcotics in Maricopa, Yavapai, and Coconino county. An investigation was opened on patched mafia member who had control of the illicit substance market in Holbrook and on the Northern Arizona Reservation. A confidential and reliable informant purchased methamphetamine, M30 fentanyl pills, and heroin from the dealer. A trash rip was conducted on his residence and multiple items of drug paraphernalia were located among the refuse. A search warrant was granted, and Agents located 216 M30 fentanyl pills, 400 grams of methamphetamine, multiple items of drug paraphernalia, a gun, and $1,680 in cash.

Special Enforcement Squad The special enforcement squad is designed to increase departmental flexibility by assigning officers to special events, incidents, or targeted criminal activity. Squad members provide walking patrols in the downtown area, bicycle patrols, and unmarked patrols of high crime areas. They are also responsible for providing security at Pulliam Airport. In 2020, 579 repeat offender arrests were made by the special enforcement squad. A total of 96 camps were contacted on Woods Watch patrols during the fire season within the Flagstaff City Limits; over 20 of these were deemed abandoned and cleaned up by Officers. The selective enforcement squad also participated in several aerial patrols of the Flagstaff city limits in partnership with DPS Ranger to locate camps and illegal camp fires. Throughout the year the selective enforcement squad was assigned to multiple special events including over 20 protest events in various locations throughout the city. Officers were dispatched to the locations of these protests to provide security and traffic control as protestors marched throughout the city, and held their rallies. The Department continued the Sunnyside Initiative in 2020, working to improve quality of life for residents and reduce crime through partnerships with community stakeholders and other law enforcement agencies. The Flagstaff Police Department assigned a Sergeant and officer (when available) specifically to the Sunnyside area. The officers used proactive patrol efforts and citizen tips to gather intelligence on criminal activity and to enforce the law. The officers used bicycle patrols to enhance their presence in the Sunnyside neighborhood and surrounding parks. They attended monthly Sunnyside Neighborhood Association meetings in which issues and problems were addressed with the community. The officers helped open the Sunnyside Substation on Fourth Street in 2009 and continue to utilize it in their daily operations. Officers attended and provided security for several community gatherings and conducted crime prevention outreach.

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 COMMUNITY RELATIONS

The Community Relations Office includes one Sergeant, a Housing Authority Officer, a Training Coordinator, and two School Resource Officers. The Community Relations Office is dedicated to the Flagstaff Police Department’s Mission of Community Policing by promoting positive community relations and providing excellent customer service through community engagement activities throughout the year. The Community Relations Sergeant serves as the Flagstaff Police Department’s Public Information Officer. This assignment entails addressing the immediate need to facilitate and provide accurate information for release to the press and regulates our social media outlets. This effort includes timely and accurate dissemination of information on criminal activity and public safety through a cooperative partnership with local, state and national news outlets. In 2020, 1,518 public speaking presentations, media releases, radio, and television interviews were completed. Additionally, the Public Information Officer is responsible for the Police Department’s use of social media primarily using Facebook, Instagram, and Next Door while collaborating with other support staff to effectively use the Department’s website to disseminate information and communicate with the public. The Housing Officer works directly with the City of Flagstaff Housing Authority which includes Siler, Brannen, and Clark Homes. This directed effort was established to maintain healthy relationships and improve the quality of life by working with a variety of families in these areas. This assignment is responsible for assisting the property managers in providing a safe and healthy environment for the tenants and to provide a direct means of communication from the tenants to the Police Department for areas of information including crime trends, social services, and general assistance. Our Training Coordinator is responsible for maintaining and facilitating the continuing education requirements for all sworn and civilian personnel within the Department. The Training Coordinator also facilitates and supervises the Department’s Volunteer Program. The School Resource Officers (2) provide a cadre of services to the youth of our community, beginning with presenting the “Project Alert” program to the Middle and High School age youth in our city. The “Project Alert” program aims to reduce the risks of drug and alcohol abuse of our adolescents by providing them with knowledge and skills needed to make healthy decisions. The School Resource Officers present information to our community’s youth on topics like bullying, peer pressure, honesty, gun safety, domestic violence, and the proper use of 911. The School Resource Officers are regularly available to handle school calls for service and work with families they have built relationships with who are often at risk. This work with schools and families helps reduce juvenile referrals into the court system; positively impacting the students, their family, and the school by correcting behavior without court action.

COVID-19 COMMUNITY OUTREACH EFFORTS In the spring of 2020, Covid-19 changed the manner in which we accomplished our community outreach and youth engagement. Most of our community events were put on hold and limited due to the unknown results of the virus exposures. During this time, our Community Relations office partnered with the patrol officers and conducted youth outreach, in a safe masked manner, by conducting “birthday drive-bys” and holding our very first Dream Court basketball event. These were limited and dependent upon the availability of the officers as well as the precautions necessary. We were happy to hand out basketballs and various gifts to the youth during their special day and sent the kids home from events with lots of goodies made available by the Dream Court and Nancy Lieberman Charities. This was not a conventional year; however, we were successful in maintaining and forging relationships with the community and youth.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT MEETINGS The Community Relations Office tracked the Police Department’s community support meetings involving outreach efforts with partnering organization and groups in the community. The Flagstaff Police Department conducted 393 community outreach and support meetings in 2020. Most of these meetings were held virtually via Zoom or another meeting platform. Despite the meetings being held remotely, we only saw a reduction of 2.1 % from the previous year. Our commitment to work with the community remained strong.

Page 80

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 CITIZEN’S POLICE ACADEMY The Community Relations Office conducted one and a half Citizen’s Police Academy classes, teaching residents on various topics in and around policing. The spring class was stopped due to Covid-19, having 18 students in attendance. In the fall, approximately 11 people attended the academy in 2020. During these classes, many individuals learned about the criminal justice system and participated in many tours and events such as an explosives and firearms demonstration and tours of the County Jail and the DPS Crime Lab. This class was smaller due to safety precautions as a result of Covid-19.

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER PROGRAM As competition for city funding becomes more intense, the Police Department is becoming more dependent on volunteers to assist both sworn and civilian staff. Community volunteers donated 736 hours in 2020, providing pawn tracking, evidence/ property services, records, public relations, sex offender notifications, and assisting the Criminal Investigations Division. Volunteers were essential in the success of the Northern Arizona Law Enforcement Toy Drive which provides families, shelters, and community centers with toys. Due to Covid-19, our volunteer staff and hours were cut nearly in half due to precautions and other considerations regarding the health and safety of our valuable volunteer staff. Special Olympics The Flagstaff Police Department has historically been a strong supporter of the Special Olympics programs in Northern Arizona. In 2020, the Special Olympics related programs were not conducted as a result of Covid-19. Virtual Polar Plunge participants and fundraising occurred on behalf of the Flagstaff Police Department and our Special Olympics partners.

DREAM COURT INAUGURAL EVENT The Dream Court was completed and opened in April 2019. The Flagstaff Police Department partnered with the Boys and Girls Club Flagstaff, and the Nancy Lieberman Foundation to bring a Dream Court programming to Flagstaff. Our inaugural skills event was held in which youth were provided skills and instruction from a local travel basketball coach, partnering with the Flagstaff Police Department. We provided leather basketballs etched with the Flagstaff Police Department patch logo to the youth and the Boys and Girls Club of Flagstaff, along with water bottles provided by Nancy Lieberman Charities grant funding.

2020 LAW ENFORCEMENT TOY DRIVE Despite Covid-19 precautions forcing us to forego the Toy Drive booth historically placed at the Wal-Mart store, we were able to collect toys and we received $11,790 dollars to purchase toys from our business community partners. We participated in the Candy Cane Lane event held at Flagstaff Subaru on Marketplace in conjunction with our partners at the Shadows Foundation. As a result of the community and business partner's generosity, our toy drive services over 500 children by providing them with gifts, gift cards, and food vouchers at local grocery stores. In addition, we served children in Flagstaff, Williams, and on the neighboring Reservations including Havasupai Falls. We were fortunate to partner with the Shadows Foundation to ensure our community toy drive was able to continue despite the Covid-19 pandemic.

TRAINING The Community Relations Office Training division was responsible for providing and documenting 16,146 total training hours which translates to approximately 148 hours of training per certified police officer.

HOUSING The Housing Officer has assisted in the foot and vehicular patrols in designated areas such as Siler Homes, Brannen Homes, and Clark Homes as well as 20 + properties assigned through the City’s Housing program. This position is also responsible for supporting patrol in addressing crimes and calls for service in these areas, as well as providing a liaison-type relationship with property managers and tenants. The Housing Officer regularly patrols each of the Flagstaff Housing Authority neighborhoods and is familiar with the off-site properties as well. The Housing Officer works closely with the Section 8 program and provides information to the Housing Authority. The Housing Officer also attends monthly meetings and provides a link of information to the board of directors regarding community policing initiatives.

PROJECT ALERT Project Alert and the School Resource Officer (SRO’s) programs were suspended in 2020 due to the pandemic and Covid19 related school closures. The program was not deliverable via zoom or virtual platforms. Our SRO personnel were delegated to patrol functions in 2020.

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020

Members of the Consolidated City and County 911 Communications Center provide law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical dispatch to an immense geographic area. By combining quality people with modern technology, the Flagstaff 911 Communications Center maintains a consistently high level of service. The Intergraph Public Safety Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system combines mapping and agency unit identification in a dispatching format that enhances public safety agency response types and times. This new generation of CAD also allows dispatchers to "see" via computer where police and fire units are in the field. Staff access state and national computerized databases for law enforcement purposes. The Center is a model for state-of-the-art technology and interagency cooperation, so we host numerous tours and site visits from local groups and outside agencies interested in our consolidation model and technological solutions.

Page 85

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 ACCOMPLISHMENTS In 2020, the Communications Center hired ten and continued training eleven Emergency Communications Specialists (ECS). Staff answered a total of 282,267 calls from the public. This included 69,496 calls that were received via 911 and 212,774 non-emergency incoming calls. Staff dispatched 69,493 calls for service to law enforcement and fire units. Personnel were able to keep fire response time from receipt of call to dispatch at or under one minute, (0.24 seconds) a National Fire Protection Agency best practice. Additionally, the Center maintained a 12-month average patrol response time of 3.94, from receipt of call to arrival of the first unit on the scene of priority one calls, better than the national benchmark and in line with our goal of under five minutes. City and County staff continued to work with our on-site Geographic Information Systems (GIS) employees on regular updates of the CAD and Vela maps. These maps are utilized to assist communications personnel to direct public safety responders who respond to 911 and all other call activity as they travel to the location of an incident. Map enhancement is an ongoing priority to maintain maximum efficiency and accuracy of call responses. On medical calls, while emergency services are physically responding, communications personnel perform Emergency Medical Dispatching (EMD). An emergency medical dispatcher is a certified telecommunicator, tasked with the gathering of information related to medical emergencies, and offering assistance and pre-arrival medical instructions by voice prior to the arrival of Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The term Emergency Medical Dispatcher is also a certification level and a professional designation, certified through the National Academies of Emergency Dispatch. In 2020, 16,990 Emergency Medical calls were received by the Flagstaff 911 Communications Center and EMD was attempted or performed 82% of the time where EMD was possible. In 2020, all Emergency Communications Specialists completed monthly training from Police Legal Services, an online training tool used to strengthen the professional skills of Emergency Communication Specialists by reinforcing classroom training and supplementing agency-specific practices. The hiring process was updated in 2014 using the CritiCall screening program. “CritiCall”, a pre-employment multi-tasking testing program assists in identifying candidates who have the multi-tasking skills to be outstanding team members in an emergency communications center. Staff from each 911 Center in Coconino County, the Arizona State 911 Office, and City and County GIS groups met regularly in 2020 for information sharing, planning and problem-solving. The Flagstaff Police Department in conjunction with the Flagstaff Fire Department, members of Coconino County, Coconino County Sheriff’s Office and the City of Flagstaff’s GIS teams, continue to work on a Route Based Dispatching project. This is a Global Positioning System (GPS) program within the CAD system that will recommend the closest fire apparatus and the safest route for the Flagstaff Fire Department to respond to fire and medical emergencies. The Communications Center is also responsible for the dispatching of fire and EMS incidents for Pinewood, Blue Ridge, Forest Lakes, Highlands, and Summit Fire Departments. Page 86

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 The Flagstaff 9-1-1 Communications continues to process and respond to wireless 9-1-1 calls using Wireless 911 Phase II. The enhancement provides the latitude/longitude of either the wireless tower (Phase I) and/or the wireless caller’s approximate location (Phase II) depending on the service. Also, Phase II provides the telephone number of the caller. The program is maintained by the 911 Coordinator who works under the Flagstaff 911 Communications Manager and in conjunction with the Communications Managers from Grand Canyon, Page, and Williams Police Departments. In 2020, the 911 Communications Center received 57,301 wireless calls. The Communications Center continues to utilize a program called RapidSoS. The program gives each dispatcher access to accurate and additional information from a smartphone when it calls 911. It provides accurate GPS information, medical alert information, and information from Uber. It can also show if a 911 caller is moving providing historical GPS data. The State 911 Office is in the process of upgrading statewide Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) to the next generation 911 (NG911) platform. Implementing NG911 Network services will enable our PSAP to migrate to NG9-1-1 ready callhandling systems and a full feature Emergency Services IP Network. This will open the door to future possibilities of text to 9-1-1, pictures, and video capabilities. The Flagstaff, Grand Canyon, Page and Williams PSAP’s have moved forward with the upgrade and implemented Text to 911 in February 2021. The radio system and logging recorder was upgraded in 2019 with new software and hardware. The upgade of the new 800 MHz P25 digital public safety and city operations radio system that occurred in 2019 continues to be very beneficial. The current four tower antenna array has built-in redundancy which makes it highly resistant to weather-related disruptions in service. The radio system has dual band capability in the VHF spectrum so that public safety employees in Police and Fire Divisions can communicate directly with Sheriff’s Deputies as well as personnel from outlying Fire Departments. The 800 MHz system has assured secure and dependable emergency communications among all public safety personnel including Flagstaff and the surrounding vicinity. The Coconino County Sheriff’s Office updated the Flagstaff and Sedona Districts to a simulcast “channel two” microwave/UHF/VHF radio system. The radio repeater at the Sedona Airport was changed to the simulcast channel two from channel one and has improved the radio communication between the Flagstaff 911 Communications Center and deputies working in the Flagstaff, Sedona, and Oak Creek Canyon vicinities.

The old analog radio repeaters at Fisher Point and Jacob’s Lake radio sites were changed to digital P25 compatible radio repeaters which improve radio communications in the Page and the Grand Canyon North Rim vicinities. In 2019, the Communications Center was approved funds for a CAD upgrade. The project was started in late 2020 and is expected to be completed in September 2021.

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020

RECORDS SECTION The Consolidated Flagstaff Police Department/Coconino County Sheriff’s Department Records Division is an essential component of the Police Department. The section is staffed by 10 Administrative Records Specialists and one Records Supervisor. It continues to be the central repository where all City Police, Coconino County Sheriff and Coconino Detention Facility reports are received, stored, and disseminated in both paper and electronic formats. Information is entered into the Hexagon OnCall Records Management System and hard copy documents electronically scanned and attached to allow both on and off-site criminal justice staff to view or reproduce reports from their local workstations. Detailed electronic information is now available on over 3,596,296 Calls for service, over 605,113 Incident and crime reports, 418,794 Vehicles, 324,349 Arrests, and 247,399 Jail Bookings. The Records Staff continues to become more familiar with updated technology and more accustomed to managing electronic documents. Records staff reviews and conducts the final approval process for all incidents, arrests and citations electronically submitted by officers through the Records Management System. Our Records Management System (RMS) software is shared with numerous Northern Arizona law enforcement agencies, including Northern Arizona University Police Department, Coconino County Sheriff’s Department and Coconino County Detention Facility. Having a shared RMS has assisted our agencies, as well as other criminal justice counterparts, to have access to regional, instead of strictly city criminal justice contacts. This has benefitted agencies like Flagstaff City Court and Prosecutor, Coconino County Adult Probation, Arizona Department of Public Safety Gang Intelligence and Team Enforcement Mission (GITEM), FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Records staff produce monthly statistical reports for agency staff, private citizens and FBI crime reporting. The Support Services Manager is responsible to submit monthly crime statistics to the Arizona Department of Public Safety which then transfer data to the FBI. The Flagstaff Police Department is committed to ensuring that the source data we submit for the Central State Repository and for FBI National Incident Based Crime Reporting is accurate and comprehensive.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS The Flagstaff Police Department implemented Hexagon’s Web-based Records Management System, known as OnCall Records, in August 2020. OnCall RMS stores and retrieves information on incidents, arrests, warrants, property, case management, field interviews, and many other types of information required to manage a public safety agency. This system possesses enhancements which include both physical and virtual servers which helps make the application run faster and be more efficient. The ability to associate property and evidence to an accident record, the ability for calls for service records to be attached to multiple incidents and accidents, and expanded abilities to transfer data from one module to another, such as from accidents to citations, from arrests to citations and from citations to arrests is beneficial. Additionally, officers in the field are able to access Hexagon’s Records Management website, report incidents, and accidents, and transfer queries and responses using wireless technology. This promotes more efficient use of time by enabling officers to complete reporting tasks in the field instead of at the station.

Page 90

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 TraCS The Flagstaff Police Department also implemented a system called TraCS in conjunction with the Arizona Department of Transportation. This system allows officers in the field to complete accident reports, traffic citations and vehicle warnings electronically by using bar codes on individuals’ drivers’ licenses to enter the driver information. Records Staff performs quality assurance on these documents to ensure the data transferred correctly and completely.

DATA SHARING In an effort to streamline procedures, the department implemented a shared drive with the Flagstaff Municipal Court where Records staff deposit citations and reports for the court. The City Attorney’s Office has also begun using this shared drive to retrieve reports they need for prosecution. Hours of service for Records were changed to bring the section more into line with operating schedules of other departments around the state. The section is now open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed to the public on Saturday and Sunday except for vehicle releases and those picking up property from the safekeeping room. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Records staff began setting appointments for fingerprint, background check and report pick up services in order to minimize the number of people in the lobby at one time. Records handled 22,387 Police and Sheriff’s reports and 8,442 Jail booking records in 2020. Over 24,000 Reports were entered into the computer database and approximately 26,087 copies of reports were disseminated to the public and criminal justice agencies.

CRIME REPORTS CrimeReports.com is an internet-based service which is free to the public and allows citizens to access a website and view crime locations and general crime trends within their community. CrimeReports.com publishes incident-level crime data provided by the Flagstaff Police Department and makes that information searchable by area, date, and crime type. The service also includes a basic analytics component, giving both law enforcement agencies and the public an easy-to-read snapshot of crime at the neighborhood level. Users may sign up to receive e-mail alerts on specific crime types within a certain geographic area.

ONLINE SERVICES Formerly, the Flagstaff Police Department utilized outside vendors to provide services for customers to purchase reports online and to file simple police reports online. In 2017, the department created its own online portal, through the City of Flagstaff website, from which citizens can request police reports and background checks and apply to participate in a ridealong with an officer. Requests for police reports also continue to be requested by fax and mail as well as in person at the Records Section. Private property hit and run accidents and other simple reports can also be reported online through the police department portal. Another new enhancement added to the department is the acceptance of credit card payments in addition to accepting cash and checks for payment of services and products. Customers can use their credit/debit card to pay in person or online through the Point and Pay system implemented throughout the City of Flagstaff.

Page 91

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 LIVESCAN FINGERPRINT MACHINE The Flagstaff Police Department utilizes the Live Scan ID 500 fingerprint system, eliminating the need to do fingerprints manually by rolling a person’s fingertips on an ink pad. Quality checks within the equipment provide immediate feedback to the user regarding the quality of the fingerprints eliminating rejections when the fingerprints are sent to the FBI or the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The equipment sits on a desktop in conjunction with a laptop computer. The system automatically senses the placement of the finger, capturing the image only if it meets predetermined quality criteria, all without manual intervention and additional steps or keystrokes. Records Section personnel are available to provide fingerprinting services by appointment Tuesday through Friday.

SPECIAL SERVICES EVIDENCE In 2020, the Evidence Section received and processed 10,760 pieces of evidence, which were logged in by officers, agents, and detectives for case investigation and prosecution. In addition to items of evidence, our technicians handle individual’s property, retained for safekeeping and processed a total of 243 bicycles, which were abandoned, stolen or a combination of the two. A total of 997 items were returned to owners and 10,634 items were destroyed. There were 974 articles of evidence that met the criteria to be submitted to the Arizona Department of Public Safety (Northern Arizona Crime Laboratory) for scientific analysis. This section continues to house and manage over 100,000 items of evidence.

PARKING CONTROL The Flagstaff Police Department works in conjunction with ParkFlag to help support the mission and vision of the City of Flagstaff and its community members. Officers continue to remain vigilant enforcing parking violations, primarily outside of the downtown area. Officers also continue to identify and remove junk or abandoned vehicles. In 2020, the department received 340 calls for service regarding abandoned or junked vehicles, of which, 116 were tagged and reported as such. Ultimately, over 42 of these identified vehicles remained in violation of the city ordinance and required removal via tow. We are excited to continue our work with ParkFlag to promote safe and lawful parking throughout Flagstaff! Page 92

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020

PROPERTY CONTROL The Flagstaff Police Department employs one Property Control Coordinator. This non-sworn employee actively supports and upholds the City’s stated mission and values. They also perform non-commissioned police support duties associated with the maintenance of over 90 police, administrative and specialty vehicles. This includes scheduling and coordinating the service and repairs of these vehicles to ensure fleet preparedness. Additionally, they manage and stock necessary equipment and specialty components to keep the Department functioning at its highest level.

ANIMAL CONTROL The Community Relations Office has two Animal Control Officers for the City of Flagstaff in 2019. ACO Bigler and ACO Marciniak work diligently to ensure public health was managed through their animal enforcement activity as well as proactive presentations. These officers were responsible for impounding 673 animals, issuing 48 citations, and participating in 25 educational outreach events throughout the year. Officer Marciniak participated at the High-Country Humane outreach event and the Coconino County Fair.
