From the Chief of Police Mr. Steven E. Sheiffer, City Manager City of Janesville Janesville, Wisconsin The 2005 Janesville Police Department Annual Report reflects the dedication of the sworn and non-sworn employees that provide the front line services for our citizens. This year was productive in terms of addressing neighborhood concerns of safety and peace. Problem solving projects using teams of officers and citizens were addressed by using cooperation, information sharing, and diligence. July 23, 2005 the new Janesville Police Department was dedicated with hundreds of citizens enjoying tours and explanations of the state of art police facility. We sincerely appreciate the efforts of our citizens, City Council, and staff that completed this needed project. The Part 1 Crime Index for Janesville rose slightly from 2,914 to 3,150 index crimes representing an 8% increase. The violent crime index that includes homicide, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault increased 37% from 2004. The percentage increase was primarily due to a higher number of robberies, 31 in 2004 to 64 in 2005. Most of the increase in robberies is related to drug addictions. Although the percentage increase appears significant, the actual number increase was 46 more indexed violent crimes than 2004. Using the designated budget of $10,431,519 officers were involved in 68,290 police activities; 11,625 hours of training; 5,964 traffic citations; and 7,658 arrests for Part I or Part II crimes. The citizens of Janesville can be proud of a highly engaged police department focused on partnering with neighborhoods to make our city safe, attractive, and a highly desired place to live. Neil Mahan Chief of Police

• Unfounded: Investigation indicates that the allegations are false. • Not Sustained: Insufficient evidence to either prove or disprove the allegations. • Sustained: The allegations are supported by sufficient evidence to conclude they
are true. • Exonerated: Investigation indicates that the incident occurred, but was justified,
lawful, and proper under the circumstances. • Policy Failure: The investigation reveals that the allegations are true; however,
the employee was acting in accordance with established department policy.

PATROL OPERATIONS The Janesville Police Department Patrol Division operates with three shifts per day. Patrol officers work a rotating work schedule of five days on, two days off, five days on, and three days off. There are three groups of officers per shift, each supervised by a sergeant. Each patrol shift is commanded by one Lieutenant.

The city is divided into eight patrol areas. The areas are equalized based upon history of calls for service, while taking into consideration geographical features and natural neighborhood boundaries. Officers are assigned to patrol areas for six-month durations, which provide an opportunity to become familiar with the area and its unique problems. A map showing the patrol area boundaries is included on page 21. Officers assigned to the patrol division provide a wide range of basic police services to the community. In addition to patrolling assigned areas, officers investigate criminal and civil offenses; investigate traffic crashes and offenses; enforce traffic laws, state statutes, and city ordinances; sto a wide variety of calls for service. In 2005 there was a slightly greater than 1% increase in police activity from the previous year. See pages 28-30 for a breakdown of activities, and the comparison to previous years.

Patrol Areas
21
A Shift: While the officers on all three shifts perform the same types of duties, each shift has its unique concerns and problems. A Shift officers work 6:30 A.M. to 3:00 P.M., and in addition to normal calls for service deal with the morning commute; before-school traffic and parking issues; school-related calls throughout the shift; traffic enforcement; team problem-solving efforts; special events; civil paper service; follow-up investigations; and coordination of repair and maintenance of patrol equipment. B Shift: B Shift officers are on duty from 2:30 P.M. until 11:00 P.M. This shift has the highest activity level and the largest number of officers assigned. These officers remain busy throughout their shift, beginning with the afternoon commute and after-school traffic issues, a wide variety of calls for service throughout the afternoon and evening, and disturbances and other alcohol-related incidents later in the shift. B Shift officers are very active within specific neighborhoods working on specialized projects which require directed responses. Several of these projects have turned out to be real success stories for the officers and the residents within the affected neighborhoods. Officers work hard to establish effective communication with neighborhood residents so that perceived problems are reported and addressed promptly.
22
The officers working these hours also deal with a seasonal problem, namely the traffic issues presented by circuit riders on the Milton Avenue corridor. The problems encountered include traffic, parking, alcohol issues, loitering, and trespassing. A directed force of officers rigidly enforces violations in this area. The summer months also produce high activity levels in and around city parks. B Shift has a cadre of bicycle officers that patrol the parks and bike trails throughout the city. C Shift: The officers working C Shift are on duty from 10:30 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. These officers are busiest in the earlier part of their shift with late-night disturbance calls, many of which occur at alcohol establishments. Officers are proactive and work cooperatively with alcohol establishment owners to reduce calls for service in and around taverns. C Shift officers are very aggressive on traffic enforcement. These officers are also very diligent on checking the security of business establishments, and are alert for suspicious activity in the early morning hours throughout the city.
23
Problem-solving Efforts: In 2005 the patrol division worked to refine its efforts when ealing with chronic community problems identified by citizens, officers, or statistical nalysis. This was accomplished by forming problem-solving teams, consisting of a anaging supervisor and an assigned group of patrol officers, one of which is esignated as the team leader. The primary focus of this effort is improving ommunication with citizens and bringing all available and appropriate resources to ear in a coordinated effort to solve the problem.
ourteen problem-solving efforts were undertaken in 2005, with the most noticeable being the elimination of a nuisance residence at 12 South Academy Street, and the broader-based Look West Neighborhood Project. Patrol officers, supervisors, specialists, other city departments, and other agencies all worked together to make these projects successful. Special Events: The patrol division also provides assistance for a number of special events held each year throughout the city. The Janesville Police Department received 64 approved permits for special events during 2005. Events held on any public property require approval by Leisure Services. Once approved, the police department determines whether there is a need to assign officers to that event. Factors considered when making the assignment include expected crowd size, traffic flow concerns, and the potential for disturbances. Officers are used to assist with security, crowd control, traffic direction, and law enforcement. The goal is to ensure that each event is as safe as possible for participants and spectators.

Alcohol Establishments: Another significant project by the patrol division in 2005 was a focused effort involving licensed alcohol establishments. Late in 2004 and early in 2005, the city experienced an increase in violent incidents in and around some local alcohol establishments. As a result, the police department conducted an in-depth review of activities as these locations. The study showed there were high levels of police activity at five taverns, three of which were located in the central business district. The report, along with a plan of action, was presented to the Alcohol License Advisory Committee should sanctions on license holders become necessary.
24
A comprehensive strategy was implemented with assistance from the police department’s Community Services section. The plan included formal training on conflict resolution for bar staff, coupled with an increase in bar checks and saturation patrols by uniformed officers on B and C Shifts. A series of meetings both one-on-one and by group with the bar owners were conducted by the Chief of Police and the lieutenant assigned to the project. Changes in music, atmosphere, drink distribution, and occupancy regulations were discussed and implemented as a strategy to reduce onfrontation between patrons. c
As a result of this comprehensive approach, the city experienced a reduction of violent incidents in or near these locations, with no reports of substantial battery in 2005, and a 26% reduction in simple battery/assaults being reported from the previous year. These efforts continue and will be modified as situations change. Additional efforts with alcohol establishments included the first-ever alcohol sale

Range Training: The Janesville Police Department maintains a firearms training cadre that is staffed by three patrol officers and one sergeant. Firearms instructors are responsible for training other officers in the care and use of department firearms, which include handguns, shotguns, and patrol rifles.

Emergency Response Team The Janesville Police Department’s Emergency Response Team provides the department with specially trained and equipped officers and supervisors who respond to incidents that require a high degree of tactical capability, negotiation skills, personal protective equipment, or firepower. The ERT handles barricaded suspects, hostage situations, high risk arrest or search warrants, protective details and civil disturbances. In 2005 the ERT was activated four times. In each case, officers responded to a report of an armed barricaded subject inside a residence, three of which were suicidal. In two of the incidents the subjects were successfully negotiated out of the
sidence and taken into custody by ERT officers. In one incident officers made entry

reinto the residence and took a suicidal subject into custody without injury. In another incident several people from inside the residence surrendered, however officers made entry into the residence to take an additional suspect into custody. All four of the incidents resulted in no injuries to the subjects. Training is an important aspect of this high risk assignment. ERT members received approximately 1,000 hours of training in 2005. Training ranged from firearms proficiency, to scenarios with negotiators and snipers, to chemical deployments and many types of vehicle, residential, and business assaults.

Honor Guard The Janesville Police Departme ents th police department, and
unity by prov at significant events, such as funerals, parades, and memorial ceremonies to name a few. The Honor Guard is a 14 member unit, consisting of Janesville police officers from all 3 shifts. The Honor Guard received training from members of the Law Enforcement Memorial Association in 2000 and in 2001. The Janesville Police Department Honor Guard is trained in U.S. Army “Old Guard” methods, the same unit that performs burials in Arlington National Cemetery, and guards the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, as well as a host of other high profile duties. The year 2005 was a busy one for the Honor Guard. They were asked to perform several funerals for retired police officers. Unfortunately retired Officer David Burke, Captain James Edmundson, and Chief Ray Voelker all passed away in 2005. Additionally, they gave tribute to the passing of long-time civilian employee Veronica McBride. The Honor Guard was asked to raise the United States Flag at the dedication of the new Janesville Police Services Building in July of 2005. A large public audience had assembled for this ceremony, including retired police officers, retired and current police chiefs, city council members, and members of the public. It was a very special day for members of the department, past and present. The Janesville Police Department Honor Guard Unit proudly represents their fellow police officers, and as importantly, their profession.

Identification Section In 2005, the ID Section responded to several major crime scenes including robberies, burglaries, sexual assaults, shooting incidents, death investigations, and bank robberies, to process the crime scenes for evidence. Some of the evidence collected at these scenes proved useful in identifying suspects; such as DNA evidence collected at a rape which occurred at the Janesville Mall. In addition to processing crime scenes, the ID Section processed 1,392 prisoners in 2005. Prior to the move to the new police station in the summer of 2005, the

Both officers attended annual training through the WAI, and also received their certification as Level B Haz-Mat responders.
Officer Sheridan previously received training in Forensic Facial Imaging through the FBI in Quantico, Virginia. In 2005, Officer Sheridan attended training in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany on computeritechniques.

Street Crimes Unit In January 2005, the Janesville Police Department established a Street Crimes Unit (SCU). The purpose of the SCU is to conduct investigations related to drug, gang or other criminal activities and to assist department officers and other law enforcement agencies with criminal investigations. The unit is composed of one sergeant and six officers who applied and were selected for the team. Typical duties of an SCU officer include conducting
vestigations, assisting the patrol and investigative divisions or monitoring intelligence. Other examples of their work include preparing and executing search warrants. Serving arrest warrants, investigating tips from citizens and providing presentations to schools or community groups. The diverse capabilities of the SCU have been essential in providing needed resources on serious crimes that occurred in our community. During 2005, the SCU assisted in the investigations of a series of related sexual assaults, a serious of convenience store robberies, and a daytime sexual assault that occurred at a retail center. These crimes are a priority for the Janesville Police Department and are time sensitive. The SCU was able to provide extensive and immediate resources for these matters that threaten the safety of
ur citizens.
