2016 ANNUAL REPORT

FROM THE CHIEF Welcome to our 2016 Annual Report.

In these pages you will get a glimpse of our department’s activities and special events from the last year. You will get to review statistics, crime trends, staffing and budgeting for your police department. We have tried to create not only an annual report but also a sort of yearbook for the department that highlights the outstanding work our employees do for our community each year.

Last year was my first full year as your police chief and I am increasingly proud to serve this community and lead the fine employees of the Lodi Police Department. In the 2015 annual report, we talked about how technology was going to shape the Lodi Police Department going forward. Staffing has not increased for the department in over 20 years, so we have looked for other ways to bring effective law enforcement to Lodi. Technology, equipment and our social media presence have really driven how we provide police services in our community.

In 2016, we equipped every officer with a body camera; purchased automated license plate readers; increased our social media presence; purchased new patrol rifles for every officer; and purchased a new I-Cor mini caliber robot for use in tactical situations and explosive ordinance disposal.

This equipment allows our department to be at the forefront of technological advances in law enforcement. It also allows us to perform our job in a safer way while being transparent in our activities. These are the concerns of our community and I want to make sure you have complete faith and trust in our department. Much of this equipment was purchased with grant money and with the help of our Lodi Police Foundation. The Foundation is a non-profit organization that raises money in our community to support the police department and its needs.

In 2017, we will bring additional focus on technology and equipment that can make our officers more efficient while keeping them safe. We plan to replace each officer’s handgun; install dash cameras in our patrol cars; enable “Text to 911” services; replace our deteriorating radio consoles and 9-1-1 answering system; implement a reverse 9-1-1 calling system; improve our website; and determine if aerial drones have a place in our department. We also want to continue our efforts at connecting with our community through social media, our citizen’s academy and events such as National Night Out, Coffee with a Cop, our annual Open House, Meet the Beat gatherings, and virtual ride-a-longs.

While all of this equipment and technology is important, it is the support of our community that allows us to be the police force we are. Thank you for all of your support and please stop by and see us this year.

THIS APPROACH BUILDS ON BASIC POLICING PRACTICES AND EMPHASIZES PREVENTION. THE CITY IS DIVIDED INTO THREE DISTRICTS THAT ENCOMPASS FIVE PATROL BEATS. THIS ALLOWS POLICE OFFICERS ASSIGNED TO A PARTICULAR DISTRICT, THE ABILITY TO GET TO KNOW THE CITIZENS LIVING THERE AND ADDRESS CRIME-RELATED PROBLEMS BY THE USE OF PREVENTATIVE MEASURES.

“Police officers take risks and secure the safety of fellow citizens, and they endure such risks and tolerate such inconveniences on behalf of strangers. Consequently, police work is one of the more noble and selfless occupations in society. Making a difference in the quality of life is an opportunity that policing provides and few other professions can offer.”

TIPS FOR NOT BEING A VICTIM OF AN AUTO THEFT •

THE BEST PREVENTION AGAINST AUTO THEFT IS AN ALARM WITH A STARTER DISCONNECT.

•

DON’T LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE RUNNING AND UNATTENDED.

•

LOCK THE DOORS OF YOUR VEHICLE.

•

DO NOT LEAVE VALUABLES VISIBLE IN YOUR VEHICLE.

•

IF YOU PARK YOUR VEHICLE ON THE STREET OR IN YOUR DRIVEWAY, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR GARAGE DOOR OPENER IN YOUR VEHICLE. IN SEVERAL INSTANCES, AFTER THE THIEF HAS BROKEN INTO THE VEHICLE, THE SUSPECT WILL USE THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE GARAGE INTERIOR TO STEAL ADDITIONAL PROPERTY.

GANGS IN 2011, THE LODI POLICE DEPARTMENT TOOK AN AGGRESSIVE AND SURGICAL APPROACH TO DEALING WITH RISING GANG CRIME IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE LOOKED AT WAYS WE COULD PREVENT OUR YOUTH FROM JOINING GANGS BY PROVIDING THEM WITH OTHER OPTIONS AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. WE ALSO LOOKED AT OPTIONS FOR DISMANTLING THE GANGS THAT WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR AN INCREASED LEVEL OF VIOLENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE APPLIED FOR AND WERE GRANTED A $250,000 GANG REDUCTION AND INTERVENTION PROGRAM GRANT FROM THE BUREAU OF STATE AND COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS. OVER THE COURSE OF THE TWO GRANT CYCLES WE WERE ABLE TO REDUCE GANG RELATED INCIDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY BY 68%.

IN 2015, THE GRANT ENDED. SINCE THEN, POLICE CHIEF TOD PATTERSON AND THE CITY HAVE BEEN WORKING TO SOLICIT FUNDS TO CONTINUE A NEW PROGRAM. CURRENTLY, THE LODI POLICE DEPARTMENT USES A SET - SPECIAL ENFORCEMENT TEAM. THIS INCLUDES TEAMS OF FOUR OFFICERS FOCUSING ON GANGS, NARCOTICS AND QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES. THE GOAL IS MORE FREQUENT ENFORCEMENT TO LIMIT THE OUTBREAKS OF VIOLENCE AND DRUGS.

THE PROPERTY ROOM IS OPEN FOR PROPERTY RELEASE FROM 8 A.M. TO 11 A.M. AND 1 P.M. TO 4 P.M. MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, PLEASE CALL 333.6800 EXT. 2513.

FREQUENTLY ASKED PROPERTY QUESTIONS HOW MANY ITEMS ARE STORED IN THE PROPERTY ROOM? IT IS ESTIMATED THAT OVER 20,000 ITEMS ARE MAINTAINED IN PROPERTY.

WHY IS AN APPOINTMENT REQUIRED TO PICK-UP MY PROPERTY? THERE ARE LAWS THAT GOVERN THE RELEASE OF PROPERTY AND EVIDENCE ITEMS. THE PROPERTY AND EVIDENCE TECHNICIAN IS REQUIRED TO RESEARCH THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE SEIZURE OF THE PROPERTY AND ANY CONNECTING COURT CASES INVOLVING THE ITEMS. OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY MUST BE DETERMINED BEFORE ANY ITEM CAN BE RELEASED. HAVING AN APPOINTMENT ALLOWS THE PROPERTY AND EVIDENCE TECHNICIAN TIME TO CONDUCT THE INVESTIGATION.

I HAVE BEEN SENTENCED FOR MY CRIME. WHEN DO I GET MY PROPERTY BACK? THERE IS A WAITING PERIOD REQUIRED BY LAW AFTER SENTENCING BEFORE PROPERTY CAN BE RELEASED. IF YOU ARE SENTENCED FOR A FELONY, THE WAITING PERIOD IS 60 DAYS. IF YOU ARE SENTENCED FOR A MISDEMEANOR, THE WAITING PERIOD IS 30 DAYS.

WHAT IS EVIDENCE? EVIDENCE IS AN ITEM THAT IS USED IN THE COMMISSION OF A CRIME, OR AN OBJECT THAT CAN IMPLICATE ONE’S GUILT OR INNOCENCE. THESE ITEMS ARE NOT USUALLY RETURNED, UNLESS THE ITEMS ARE RECOVERED STOLEN PROPERTY. THE COURT MAKES THIS DETERMINATION.

WHAT IS “SAFEKEEPING” PROPERTY? LPD HOLDS “SAFEKEEPING” PROPERTY FOR PERSONS THAT ARE ARRESTED. SAFEKEEPING PROPERTY CAN ALSO BE WEAPONS CONFISCATED AFTER A FIGHT OR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE INCIDENT THAT WERE NOT ACTUALLY USED IN THE CONFLICT. THE WEAPONS ARE HELD TO PREVENT THE INVOLVED PARTIES FROM USING THEM TO HARM ANOTHER PERSON. OWNERSHIP IS RESEARCHED BEFORE RELEASE OF THE SAFEKEEPING ITEMS. IN THE CASE OF FIREARMS, APPLICABLE LAWS WILL BE RESEARCHED CONCERNING LEGAL POSSESSION OF WEAPONS BEFORE THEY ARE RELEASED. LODI POLICE DEPARTMENT

CRIME DATA: WHAT IS UCR DATA? UNIFORM CRIME REPORTS (UCR) DATA IT IS IMPORTANT FOR USERS OF UCR DATA TO REMEMBER THAT THE FBI’S PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS TO GENERATE A RELIABLE SET OF CRIME STATISTICS FOR USE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION, OPERATION, AND MANAGEMENT. THE FBI DOES NOT PROVIDE A RANKING OF AGENCIES BUT MERELY ALPHABETICAL TABULATIONS OF STATES, METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREAS, CITIES, METROPOLITAN AND NONMETROPOLITAN COUNTIES, COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, AND STATE, TRIBAL, AND OTHER AGENCIES. LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS USE THIS INFORMATION FOR THEIR DESIGNED PURPOSES. ADDITIONALLY, THE AMERICAN PUBLIC RELIES ON THESE DATA SETS FOR INFORMATION ON THE FLUCTUATIONS IN THE LEVEL OF CRIME FROM YEAR TO YEAR, AND CRIMINOLOGISTS, SOCIOLOGISTS, LEGISLATORS, CITY PLANNERS, THE MEDIA, AND OTHER STUDENTS OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE USE THEM FOR A VARIETY OF RESEARCH AND PLANNING PURPOSES. SINCE CRIME IS A SOCIOLOGICAL PHENOMENON INFLUENCED BY A VARIETY OF FACTORS, THE FBI DISCOURAGES RANKING THE AGENCIES AND USING THE DATA AS A MEASUREMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT EFFECTIVENESS. TO ENSURE THESE DATA ARE UNIFORMLY REPORTED, THE FBI PROVIDES CONTRIBUTING LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WITH A HANDBOOK THAT EXPLAINS HOW TO CLASSIFY AND SCORE OFFENSES AND PROVIDES UNIFORM CRIME OFFENSE DEFINITIONS. ACKNOWLEDGING THAT OFFENSE DEFINITIONS MAY VARY FROM STATE TO STATE, THE FBI CAUTIONS AGENCIES TO REPORT OFFENSES NOT ACCORDING TO LOCAL OR STATE STATUTES BUT ACCORDING TO THOSE GUIDELINES PROVIDED IN THE HANDBOOK. MOST AGENCIES MAKE A GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO COMPLY WITH ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES. FINALLY, IN A GIVEN YEAR, MORE THAN 18,000 AGENCIES CONTRIBUTE DATA TO THE FBI; HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF COMPUTER PROBLEMS, CHANGES IN RECORDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, PERSONNEL SHORTAGES, OR A NUMBER OF OTHER REASONS, SOME AGENCIES CANNOT PROVIDE DATA FOR PUBLICATION. THE FBI APPRECIATES THE CONSCIENTIOUS EFFORTS MADE BY LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL THROUGHOUT THE NATION TO REPORT ACCURATE AND RELIABLE CRIME DATA. THEIR EFFORTS MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THE FBI TO PROVIDE ASSESSMENTS OF THE NATURE AND TYPE OF CRIME IN THE UNITED STATES.

CRIME STATISTICS ONE OF THE MOST MEANINGFUL CRIME STATISTICS USED IN THE UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING (UCR) IS THE CRIME RATE. THIS RATE IS THE NUMBER OF OFFENSES PER 100,000 RESIDENTS. THIS RATE CAN BE CALCULATED REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS IN A CITY. WE WILL USE PER 1,000 RESIDENTS IN OUR CALCULATIONS (A COMMON CRIME RATE MEASURE). TYPICALLY, THE CRIME RATE IS CALCULATED BY THE AGENCY. CRIME INDEX IS A BASIC INDICATOR OF THE FREQUENCY OF A KNOWN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. CRIME INDEX DOES NOT REPRESENT THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF CRIMES COMMITTED; RATHER, IT REPRESENTS THE NUMBER OF REPORTED OFFENSES.
