We made a total of 21 arrests through the Flock Safety Camera System. Ten stolen vehicles were located and recovered. Eight people were arrested from the stolen vehicles and 13 arrests were made through warrant notifications. Of all of the 23 vehicles located, only one was involved in a pursuit. In 2023, we will be addingten more throughout the city of Mansfield which will give usa total of 20.

Driving Pad

In May 2022, we started the construction of our new driving pad and burn tower. The driving pad was completed in August while the burn tower is still under construction. Our driving pad will be used for bike training, motor exercises, and the home of our new National Academy Professional Driving (NAPD) Training. In November, Mansfield Officers completed an 8-hour NAPD course which included defensive and police drivingskills.

New Police Building

The Mansfield Police Department is authorized by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) as a Training Provider. This designation allows the Mansfield Police Department to sponsor training approved by TCOLEand provide the licensing hours needed by police officers and telecommunicators to meet licensing requirements. The Mansfield Police Department is required to establish a Training Advisory Board.

The duty of the Training Advisory Board is to evaluate the department's training initiatives and programs and to make recommendations to the Chief of Police and Training Coordinator regarding contemporary training for police officers and dispatchers. The Training Advisory Board meets the "Best Practice" recommendations established by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement and servesasa ChiefsAdvisory Board.

The Advisory Board is made up of citizens appointed by the Chief of Police who come from a variety of backgrounds. Members of the Board Include: Dr. Jacquelyn Minor (Chairperson), Mayor Dr. Michael Evans, Alma Pressley, Dr. Kimberley Cantu, Dr. Thomas Petrowski, Jeremy McJimson,Dr. Joe Adams,and Michael Piece.

The Mansfield City Council approved the construction of a new police building. In December 2022, all of our police services were relocated before the demolishing of the existing building. It will take approximately 18-24 months to complete our police department's new home. This will allow all of our departments to be under one roof including dispatch services, jail facility, patrol, detectives, fleet, and command staff. Our goal with the design of the building is to have the 'WOW' factor when someone sees our new home. This building will have a very inviting feel, comprised of modern technology, and will maximize the functionality and efficiency of the building, parking lot, and South Support Building.

Property Crimes

In 2019, the Mansfield Police Department switched from a summary-based crime reporting system to the FBI's National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS). This system is an incident-based reporting system for crimesknown to the police. For each crime incident coming to the attention of law enforcement, a variety of data is collected about the incident. This data includes the nature and types of specific offenses in the incident, characteristics of the victim(s) and offender(s), types and value of property stolen and recovered, and characteristics of persons arrested in connection with a crime incident. The Part 1 Crimes are not all of the crimes that have occurred but they are the ones that are tracked and are required to be reported to the FBI. Incident based data provide an extremely large amount of information about crime. The information is also organized in complex ways, reflecting the many different aspectsof a crime incident.

2021 to 2022 Comparison Part 1 Crime

The Communications Division manages a 24-hour 9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and serves the cities of Mansfield and Kennedale.The total service area encompassesapproximately 45 square miles. The Communications Center handles calls for service and dispatches employees for police and fire departments in each city. This includes emergency calls, non-emergency calls, and administrative phone calls. The unit also ensures every call is routed to the appropriate service agency for response.

The division is responsible for fielding requests for service or assistance from other agencies, maintaining data entries into the Texas Crime Information Center (TCIC)/National Crime Information Center (NCIC),and relaying information to field personnel.

Our Dispatch Center implemented the Emergency Medical Dispatching (EMD) protocols with callers and patients in October 2017. Since that time, dispatchers have taken over 31,000 medical and injured person calls where they were able to provide pre-arrival instructions from CPR, to blood control, to delivering a baby, to basic patient care before medical assistance arrived. Through the efforts of the dispatchers and their EMD training, there have been nine Life-Saving Awards and two Stork Awards presented to dispatcherssince the use of EMD. Through the use of the EMD program, dispatchers were able to classify over 2,600 medical and injured person calls to a priority 3, which resulted in an ambulance only response without lights and sirens. The proper classification of a call to a priority 3 level recommending an ambulance only without lights and sirens reduces the safety risks to our first respondersand the community aswell asprovidescost savings on the overuse of our fire apparatus. Without a doubt, the EMD program has demonstrated success in saving lives and reducing safety risksfor our first responders.
