MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVEDIRECTOR OF SAFETY

There is no greater mission for a mayor than to keepneighborhoods safe and vibrant. When I took ofce in 2011,I recognized there were parts of our community that feltdisconnected from the Denver Police Department. I knewthat repairing those relations and building trust betweenour community and the men and women who serve andprotect were key to our success.

Together with Chief Robert White, whom I appointed for hisproven track record of transforming police departments tobetter connect with the community and run more efciently,relations with the community have strengthened and thedepartment is working to prevent crime before it occurs byreforming, retraining and recalibrating.

Now, as a department-wide mission, ofcers create positiveinteractions with citizens and work closely with them tohelp prevent crime. Additionally, the department’s crimeprevention strategies have increased ofcer productivity,reduced violent crime and positively impacted calls forservice.

Thanks to funds made available through the community’soverwhelming support of 2A, more than 100 new ofcerswere hired in 2013 for the rst time in ve years, meaningmore ofcers patrolling Denver’s streets. We expect to addanother 100 ofcers to the force by the end of 2014.

Today’s Denver Police Department is innovative, efcient,and properly focused on crime prevention and communityrelations. I am extremely proud of the department’stransformation over the past few years, and I cannotexpress enough the profound gratitude we owe our ofcersfor selessly putting their lives on the line to keep us allsafe.

On behalf of the City and County of Denver, we thank youfor your service and God bless you.

Stephanie Y. O’MalleyEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF SAFETY

Michael B. HancockMAYOR OF DENVER



Violent crime is down in Denver, and so are calls for police service. Add to that the two-fold increase in ofcer productivity, ayou can understand why I am so proud of the members of this police department.

From my rst days in Denver, I repeatedly said that the single most important factor in preventing crime is a patrol ofcer. Ialso said that to be effective, those patrol ofcers needed good supervision by supervisors who understood the reason for

change and believed they were the impetus for change. There is no doubt in my mind that the successes we are seeing incrime reduction and increased productivity are a result of the great work being done by patrol ofcers and the leadership oftheir supervisors.

That is not the end of the incredible police work being done in Denver. Our detectives are clearing cases at signicantly highpercentages then they were in 2009, 2010, and 2011. These clearance rates are much higher than the data driven predictimodel would expect. Add to this a world-class crime lab, a fantastic cadre of civilian employees, and high-quality supportservices from all over the police department and you can understand why we are so excited for the future of the Denver PolicDepartment.

The Denver Police Department continues to evolve into an agency that will be a model for all law enforcement. This would nobe possible without the commitment and dedication of our employees.

My future commitment is that we will not rest on our laurels. We will continue to look for ways to improve, innovate and seekout and develop the best practices for crime reduction to enhance the lives of the people we serve.

Thanks to Denver voters, Measure 2A, which was passed in 2012,has allowed the Denver Police Department to purchase 46 newpatrol cars. With 30% of the eet past its useful life, this resultedin an operational cost savings due to the high maintenance costsassociated with an aging eet.

In addition, 2A allowed the department to hire a total of 110 policerecruits in 2013.

The Denver Police Department maintains two distinct budgets, one for operations and the second for administration. PoliceOperations, the larger of the two budgets, provides stafng and police services to the City and County of Denver. The Police

DENVER POLICE DEPARTMENT VALU



2013 ANNUAL REPORT

CHANGE

In 2012, Chief Robert C. White identied several critical components to the success of the Denver Police Department. Theseincluded; the attening of the command structure, the selection of the department’s six district commanders, civilianization,and a realignment process which required ofcers throughout the department to reapply for their appointed positions.The message was clear, the Denver Police Department was going to go through a major organizational change and wouldreemerge as a department that would put more ofcers on the street and create a force that was more responsive to thecommunity. Although, the initial changes began in 2012, it was in 2013 that the successes of the department’s endeavors

were realized.

DECENTRALIZATION

In 2012, a study was initiated to increase the number of resources to patrol districts with the ultimate purpose of crimeprevention and safety. Accident cars and detectives tasked with conducting investigative follow-up for narcotic investigationsstreet robberies and assaults were redeployed to the district level. Prior to implementing a decentralized approach to policinstafng at the patrol districts was at 48% of the Department’s total authorized strength. Today, stafng in the patrol districtsstands at 65%.

By shifting police resources from a centralized location and reallocating them to a patrol district, greater decision-makingauthority is afforded to the district commanders. Working in collaboration with crime analysts to identify crime patterns andresponding to citizen’s safety concerns; district commanders can more effectively direct preventative patrol measures in ordeto improve quality of life issues, increase community safety and respond to emerging crime trends.



CIVILIANIZATION

In 2013, the Denver Police Department implemented the rst phase of transitioning sworn ofcers out of non-enforcementpositions, replacing them with civilians. Following the path of many other municipalities, the department analyzed the needfor uniformed ofcers in desk jobs, and how non-uniformed expertise could be used to free up trained ofcers to return toassignments that require “a gun and a badge”.

Determining which positions could be lled by specially trained civilians was based on the following criteria: • whether or not the position required the exercise of law enforcement powers

• were the skills, training, or experience of a sworn ofcer required to fulll the duties of the position • was it important to keep sworn staff in the position for other reasons

Based on the criteria, positions throughout the department were identied for civilianization. The Civil Liability Unit replaceddetectives with paralegals and the Property Management Bureau civilianized the Property and Evidence Technician positionsThe organizational change had the greatest impact in the department’s Crime Laboratory; transitioning approximately 14civilians into the Crime Scene Investigator (CSI) and Latent Print Examiner positions.

By increasing civilianization, the department is expected to see an added benet of an annual cost savings of approximately$617,000. But most importantly, it allows the Denver Police Department to increase its uniformed ofcer presencethroughout the city and continue to ensure the safety of its residents.



2013 ANNUAL REPORT 1

RIGHT-SIZED APPOINTED POSITIONS (REALIGNMENT)

Beginning in April of 2012, all appointed positions for the ranks of detective, corporal and technician were revaluated andthe ofcers previously assigned to those positions were required to reapply. As part of the initial assessment, the duties andresponsibilities of the positions were claried to more closely align with the specic rank and job function. In order to facilitasuch a huge undertaking, open interviews were conducted with the affected command staff for each particular position toidentify and match the most qualied ofcer with the appointment. This process effectively allowed many ofcers who hadbeen waiting in the wings to come forward and identify their individual talents and demonstrate their leadership skills.

After nearly 2,000 interviews, command staff selected their compliment of ofcers to ll the appointed positions under their

authority. In total, 47% of technicians, 52% of corporals and 79% of detectives were retained. Identifying the appropriateaptitude within the department not only increased the personal motivation of the employee, but also resulted in a higher leveof production in service.



LEADERSHIP IN POLICE ORGANIZATIONSSM PROGRAM (LPOSM)

Leadership in Police OrganizationsSM (LPOSM) is a series of Peace Ofcer Standards and Training (POST) certied courses,

modeled after a similar program by the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Denver’s program is funded through the ColoraAssociation of Chiefs of Police (CACP), and with a grant from POST. The program is designed to reinforce the idea that “everyofcer is a leader” and, as such, leadership training should not be limited to those in leadership positions. Students arementored by senior instructors and engage in workshops and classroom instruction intended to teach people how to leadgroups and organizations. The classroom experience is punctuated by lecture, role-playing and discussion exercises, smallgroup interactions, journaling, and examination of case studies. Courses include such topics as leadership theory, practicalapplication of principles, process improvement, socialization, group interaction and cohesion, and conict management.

The Denver Police Department has been actively involved in LPOSM since 2009; however, signicantly more classes wereoffered, and taken, in 2013 than in any prior year. As a result, over 250 ofcers of different ranks have beneted from theinstruction. Moving forward, the Department hopes to continue integrating LPOSM into ofcer training, in a continued effort tomake leaders of every ofcer on the force.




FLATTENING OF THE COMMAND STRUCTURE / SELECTION PROCESS

The attening of any command structure addresses several major objectives: it increases the autonomy, individual authorityand personal accountability of the remaining positions. The attening of the command structure within the Denver PoliceDepartment meant that the rank of division chief would be eliminated altogether and the rank of commander would beexpanded. Under this new command structure, commanders manage their resources, identify the problems in their area ofresponsibility and are held accountable in their effectiveness in addressing those issues.

In order to ensure the best candidates were identied, input was sought from the Denver community in order to identify thesix district commanders. Community input was deemed a necessary requirement due to the level of involvement the district

commanders must have with Denver’s neighborhoods, along with understanding the importance of making the connectionsbetween ofcers and the community.

NEW DIVISION: PLANNING, RESEARCH AND SUPPORT DIVISION

In January 2013, the Planning, Research and Support Division went into operation. The division is comprised of civilian andsworn staff, providing direct support to the Chief of Police and senior staff.

Among its numerous responsibilities the division is tasked with providing research and analytical services to supportinnovative policing operations and public safety practices, provide research assistance to operational and administrativecomponents of the department concerning a wide range of criminal justice and management issues, feasibility studies,

project/program evaluations, and the drafting and maintenance of agency-level policy and procedural manuals.One of the primary projects handled in 2013 was the development of a new Performance Evaluation System for sworn ofceThe development of the project included input from the department’s senior staff, as well as researching the evaluationsystems of other law enforcement agencies. The project resulted in an evaluation system customized to each individualofcer’s assignment and responsibilities, connecting the department’s overall strategic plan to the specic strategic plan ineach division. The Performance Evaluation System went into effect January 1, 2014.

Other signicant projects included the research supporting the civilianization of Crime Scene Investigators (CSI) andresearching Civilian Report Technician (CRT) programs across the nation. The rst CRTs were hired in 2014, and the programis fully operational. In 2013, the Denver Police Department hired its rst academy recruit class since 2008. The PlanningDivision ensured the accuracy of, and updated the Operations Manual for the academy curriculum. One of the major projectunderway is the rewrite/update of the department’s Operations Manual; an on-going project through mid 2015.

As the Denver Police Department moves toward the future, the Planning, Research & Support Division will continue tohave a signicant role in supporting the department’s efforts, mission and goals as a leading law enforcement agency, andpartnership with the communities of Denver.



UNIFIED SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT (US&C)

In 2009, the City of Denver invested in an infrastructure that streamlines the electronic ow of information between citycriminal justice systems, including the City Attorney’s Ofce, the District Attorney’s Ofce, the Denver Sheriff Department, thecourts, and the Denver Police Department. Over the course of the subsequent three years, these agencies worked togetherto create an electronic workow for the exchange of information related to criminal justice records and this infrastructure hasbecome to be known as the Unied Summons and Complaint (US&C) system.

The US&C system was designed to automate and streamline the submission and maintenance of arrestee criminal justicerecords initiated by Denver police ofcers. The US&C effectively consolidates nine different paper forms and has integrated

ve criminal justice systems throughout the city. The US&C consolidated nine different reports, integrating ve criminal justicsystems throughout the city. Establishing the electronic workow lessened the chance of error by eliminating repeated manuentry, potential for lost lings and the associated delays.

At the completion of a pilot program taking place in District 2 in late 2012, results showed that efciency was improved anddata integrity was maintained. To date, approximately 900 street ofcers have been trained in the US&C system which hasreduced the paper footprint generated by the department, increased the efciency of accurately reporting arrest and crimedata information, and allows the department to provide real time information to its criminal justice system partners throughothe city.




LEADSONLINE: The Nation’s Largest Online Investigation System

LeadsOnline is an online technology service helping law enforcement catch criminals, while helping businesses reduce the

hassles of reporting. When property is purchased at pawnshops or at a second-hand retail location throughout Denver, lawrequires that the operator maintain an accurate record of every transaction. Information documented for every transactionincludes the property serial number, ownership of the property and can also include the owner’s ngerprint. Prior toLeadsOnline, the Denver Police Department’s Property Recovery Unit would conduct periodic checks to verify and ensurecompliance.

LeadsOnline streamlines the record keeping process by allowing the pawnshop/second-hand operator to send the transactioinformation to local law enforcement electronically where at that point the serial numbers are compared against criminal

justice records in order to solve crimes. Information contained within LeadsOnline is available to all law enforcementparticipants nationwide. The Denver Police Department’s Property Recovery Unit recovered $69,695 in property fromLeadsOnline hits alone in the rst quarter of 2013. Currently, ve of the eleven Denver pawnshops participate in LeadsOnlinand the goal is to get all pawnshops within Denver to register with and use LeadsOnline.

PATROL DISTRICTS

The Denver Police Department geographically divides the city into six decentralized district commands. Each district iscomprised of patrol and investigative personnel that report to a single stand-alone station within each district, and are taskedwith round-the-clock police coverage

CRIME STATISTICS

The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Uniform Crime Report (UCR) is a summary reporting system that tracks statisticssubmitted by police agencies. Developed in the 1920s as a tool to compare national crime statistics, the UCR programdistinguishes crimes by Part I, including the eight more serious crimes: homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglarylarceny, auto theft and arson and Part II, which encompasses all other crime. UCR works on a hierarchy based method ofcounting crime. Only the highest crime committed during an incident per the hierarchy, is counted. To compare crime trendsto other jurisdictions using UCR data, please visit the FBI website at www.fbi.gov/ucr/ucr.htm.

* In May 2013, the Denver Police Department implemented the Unied Summons and Complaint (US&C) process. This process unies multiple types of paper citations, excluding trafc tickets, into an electronic process. Thatinformation is transmitted to the Denver Sheriff, County Court, City Attorney and District Attorney through a data exchange platform as needed. As a result of this process, a reported offense is generated which was previously not

captured. For comparison purposes, crimes which were captured due to the US&C process were excluded from the data when comparing 2012 to 2013. An additional column has been added to the table to reect the actual

number of crimes.

** Includes both petty and grand larceny, however excludes theft from motor vehicle



Excludes trafc accidents, trafc moving violations and other trafc offenses.

“ WHEN DUTY CALLED, THERE WAS NO THOUGHT BUT ANSWER;

NO QUESTION, BUT THE TASK THAT MUST BE DONE.

THOUGH DEATH THEIR FINAL PAYMENT FOR THE VICTORY,

FOR HONOR WAS THE BATTLE FOUGHT, AND WON.

NO MONUMENT STANDS HIGHER THAN THEIR VALOR;

NO WORDS REPLACE THE LOSS OF HEROES, SLAIN.

BUT IF THEIR NAMES, REMEMBERED, GIVE US COURAGE,

THEIR SACRIFICE SHALL NOT HAVE BEEN IN VAIN.”

JULIAN R. LEWIS
