Dear Wayne County Citizens: Over the past 16 years, four terms, I have had the distinct privilege of serving as your Wayne County Sheriff. This being said, I submit my final annual report to you. I am pleased to share with you some topics we faced during 2011. This past year came in with tragedy and left with relative calmness. Our jobs are sometimes explosive one day and catching up work the next. Our work never truly takes a break. On January 7th, we were called to check on a married couple in the Mt. Eaton area. Upon our check, we discovered a gruesome double homicide had been committed. Through excellent work, within a 12-hour time frame, we were able to arrest the deceased parents’ son in West Virginia for Murder. Throughout 2011, many criminal cases were reported and many arrests were made, all with a very dedicated group of men and women working the roadways. Our jail is always full. In 2011, we incarcerated 2,938 prisoners. The average number of days spent in jail was 21, up 3 days from 2010. The ratio of prisoners by courts is: Municipal Court 58%, Common Pleas Court 39%, and Juvenile Court 3%. Since the State of Ohio’s new sentencing mandates, we are realizing the impact of more felony prisoners to our local county jail. We are forced to deal with a more violent offender on a daily basis. The Civil Division continues to work hard in the service of writs, protection orders, subpoenas, and foreclosures. None of this work is decreasing. A few years ago we decided to stop the DARE Program in our county schools due to the lack of funding from the state and decreased number of road deputies because of layoffs. We combined resources with the Tri-County Schools and established a very successful “Anti-Bullying” program, Owleus, in all county school systems. This began two years ago and all participants, from teachers to parents to students, feel “it is a great investment for all”. Our secretarial staff has increasing duties and responsibilities. Because of loss from allocated funds, we have transitioned from five full-time to two-full time and one part- time staff. The work has not slowed, nor the constant phone calls. But this staff maintains the high level of work which is expected.

The Sheriff’s Reserves have performed admirably throughout the year - whether it was responding to a scene for assistance, transporting prisoners during a drug raid or out of county back to our jail, or taking charge in coordination with Corrections’ weekly visitation to the inmate jail population. Sometimes those numbers are in the hundreds. This office could not function as it does without the support of these fine men and women who “help this community” in so many ways. We budget constantly and chart our months ahead to be as successful as possible. The Sheriff’s Office is marking 2012 as a celebration of its 200th year in service to the citizens of Wayne County. I have stood side by side with the hard working men and women of this office as they perform their difficult jobs because it is they who make this Sheriff’s Office outstanding. Sincerely,

Thomas G. Maurer Wayne County Sheriff

SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION The E-SORN (Electronic Sex Offender Registration and Notification System) was developed in response to Megan's Law, passed in 1994, which prompted the passage of 'The Jacob Wetterling Act', in addition to the Federal Crime Act. This legal addition to existing law required all states to pass a sex offender registration and notification law. To date, all 50 states have a sex offender registration law. The Ohio version of Megan's Law is called the Electronic Sex Offender Registration and Notification (ESORN) law. Ohio's law requires that all sex offenders, including those already incarcerated, be classified by their sentencing judges into one of the below classifications, each of which dictates the registration and notification requirements to which the offender is subject. From January 1997, all convicted sex offenders have been, and continue to be, subject to the registration requirements of the law. This law was revised on July 31, 2003, with the passage of Senate Bill 5, which developed new classifications of offenders and strengthened the current SORN Laws in Ohio. Any person convicted of certain sex offense violations of the Ohio Revised Code or similar laws of another state may be determined by the court to be required to register as a sex offender. The latest revision, Senate Bill 10, went into effect January 1, 2008. Passage of this law ensures Ohio is in compliance with the recently enacted federal law called the Adam Walsh Act (AWA). The major change in the law requires the Ohio Attorney General to reclassify every current offender under the Tier system and also change the reporting requirements for each offender. Classifications under the Tier system are based solely on the specific crime the offender was convicted of. Sex offenders are classified as: 1) Tier 1 Offenders, 2) Tier 2 Offenders, and 3) Tier 3 Offenders. Offender Requirements:

1. All registered sex offenders must report at the scheduled intervals based on their classifications. In addition, they must report any change in address within three days to the Sheriff of the county in which they reside.

2. All registered sex offenders must report to the county Sheriff immediately upon entering the

county to attend school. 3. All registered sex offenders must register with the county Sheriff where the offender has

been employed in the county for more than 14 days or for a total of 30 days or more in a calendar year, regardless of where the offender lives.

4. All registered sex offenders must report to the county Sheriff all vehicles registered to them. 5. All registered sex offenders must report to the county Sheriff any internet or e-mail addresses

to which they have access. 6. All registered sex offenders must report to the county Sheriff any location where they serve

as a volunteer.

Page 10: 2011 Annual Report – Wayne County Sheriff

Current Classifications:

1. Tier 1 Offender A Tier 1 offender is subject to the registration/verification requirements annually for a period of 15 years following their initial registration. These offenders are not subject to neighborhood/community notification. A $25 fee per registration may be collected by the Sheriff for a maximum of $25 per year.

2. Tier 2 Offender A Tier 2 offender is subject to registration/verification requirements every 180 days (six months) for a period of 25 years following their initial registration. These offenders are not subject to neighborhood/community notification. A $25 fee per registration may be collected by the Sheriff for a maximum of $50 per year.

3. Tier 3 Offender Offenders designated as a Tier 3 Offender are subject to registration/verification requirements every 90 days for life. Tier 3 offenders are subject to the neighbor/community notification provision, which includes all residents within a 1,000 feet radius of where the offender is residing. A $25 fee per registration may be collected by the Sheriff for a maximum of $100 per year

Tier 3 Juvenile Offenders are now eligible to be placed on the public web site only if the Juvenile Court where the offender was classified orders that the juvenile be considered “Public Qualified”. In addition, the Court must also determine if “Community Notification” is to be made on Tier 3 juvenile offenders.

Due to the recent law changes, several legal challenges have been filed questioning the requirements and constitutionality of the new law. In June of 2010, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled in the Ohio v Bodyke case. This required us to work with the Ohio Attorney General to return those offenders previously classified under the old law to their early classification. Those offenders convicted and classified since the latest revision went into effect were not changed. In late 2011 the Ohio Supreme Court also ruled on the Ohio v Williams case. This required the Ohio Attorney General to also list some offenders as “Pre AWA” (Offense occurred prior to the Adam Walsh Act going into effect).

All sex offenders were previously classified in the following classifications prior to the new law taking effect:

1. Sexual Predator – Requires community notification and must register every 90 days for life.

2. Habitual Sex Offender – Only allows community notification if specifically ordered by the sentencing court and must register once a year for 20 years.

3. Sexually Oriented Offender – Does not permit community notification and must register once a year for 10 years.

4. Child-Victim Oriented Offender – Does not permit community notification and must register once a year for 10 years.

5. Habitual Child-Victim Offender – Only allows community notification if specifically ordered by the sentencing court and must register once a year for 20 years.

6. Child-Victim Predator – Requires community notification and must register every 90 days for life.

7. Pre-AWA – Requires the offender to register once a year for 10 years. Not subject to community notification.

CARRY CONCEALED HANDGUN LICENSE The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office began issuing carry concealed handgun licenses during the second quarter of 2004. Requirements for the license are that the applicant must show proof of having completed an approved training program of 12 hours by an accredited instructor and pass the criminal background check. Background checks are completed using the National WebCheck System, the Law Enforcement Automated Data System, and court records of the applicant. National WebCheck utilizes criminal records held by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation, as well as the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Applications are processed five days of the week during normal business hours. If the applicant meets the requirements, they are issued an Ohio Carry Conceal License, permitting them to carry a concealed handgun with various restrictions. In October 2009, the cost of the license increased to $67 and is valid for five (5) years. Several significant changes in the law took effect in September 2008. All instructors are NRA or OPOTA certified. At the end of the 4th quarter in 2011, there were 59,302 new carry conceal licenses issued in Ohio since its inception in 2004. Those issued in 2006 began renewals in 2010. Ohio maintains reciprocal agreements with 31 other states concerning carry conceal. Additional information can be found on the web sites of the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office, the Ohio Attorney General, and various others concerning Ohio Carry Conceal.

NATIONAL WEBCHECK &

FINGERPRINTING

Biometric Web Based Criminal Background Investigations The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office uses National WebCheck©, which electronically captures and submits fingerprints for background investigations. Federal and State laws require fingerprinting and background checks for various occupations with emphasis on those who work with the elderly or children. Additionally, numerous government agencies and private-sector businesses in compliance with Homeland Security regulations use this service. New laws going into effect and others pending in both Federal and Ohio legislation will increase the use of this service in the future. This office currently provides this service to approximately 230 public and private agencies. National WebCheck© was developed solely for Ohio BCI&I and is a secure web-based application that allows only authorized agencies to electronically submit fingerprint-based searches against State and FBI criminal records databases on a fee-for-service basis. It is a practical, efficient and cost effective solution developed to address the deficiencies of the traditional background check. The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office also processes ink-rolled fingerprint cards for agencies requiring it. This service is generally required by those seeking U.S. military security clearances, security dealer’s licenses, and those seeking various licenses out of state. Depending on the type of background check required, the fees were increased in March 2009 to $35, $44, and $59, and are processed Monday through Friday during normal business hours.

CIVIL DIVISION

The Civil Division of the Sheriff’s Office is responsible for serving court related documents from the Wayne County Common Pleas Court and also assisting the Wayne County Municipal Court in the service of court orders. Lieutenant Wally Szentpetery and Deputy Bill Bobbitt were responsible for the service of all papers that are processed through the Civil Division. Lieutenant Szentpetery retired from the sheriff’s office in September, and Deputy Bobbitt then took over all of the duties in the Civil Division. Foreclosure sales actually decreased in 2011. Properties are sold every Wednesday in the lobby of the Justice Center. Notices of foreclosure sales are published in The Daily Record and are on our web site for citizens to view. In 2011, 304 foreclosure sales were ordered by the courts. Of those 304 sales, 107 were later cancelled by the court and a total of 197 properties were sold. The total costs collected and dispersed for these sales was $13,879,983. There were 13 executions ordered and completed to seize items and conduct a sale of those items to settle a financial obligation of a court order. These executions contained $280,242.34 in total judgments. The chart below shows a comparison of 2010 to 2011 for Civil Division activities.

JOB AND FAMILY SERVICES DEPARTMENT

We have had a full-time deputy assigned under contract to work with the Benefit Recovery Unit (B.R.U.) at the Wayne County Job and Family Services to assist in investigating and reducing loss of funds from the county, state, and government programs in Wayne County since 1996. Deputy James Troyer worked with the unit until his retirement in July. In September, Deputy Tom Holmes took over the position and continued throughout the remainder of the year. The goal of this unit is to recover money that was received by clients through agency error or intentional criminal acts involving the agency. These are monies paid by taxpayers that are being falsely used by clients of the Wayne County Job and Family Services. Deputies assisted the BRU by doing field investigations and interviews, collect evidence in various ways, and testify in court as needed. They also make home visits to confirm that the subjects live in Wayne County and those persons on the client’s “case” actually live at the residence and are eligible for assistance. Deputies also act as a liaison for local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies when needed. They have access to programs that the agency would not be able to utilize without his assistance. In conjunction with BRU investigations, the officers assist Metropolitan Housing, Wayne County Child Support Agency, Wayne County Children’s Services, Adult Protective Services, and others as needed. Director Owens continues to be proactive in collecting taxpayers’ dollars. In 2011, the Unit worked 975 cases. They collected over $233,640 in cash, which saved taxpayers money by preventing the issuance of benefits to those not eligible.

In September 2008, we contracted with Canteen Correctional Services Division, which is a branch of Compass Group USA, Inc. Their responsibility is to provide meals – breakfast, lunch, and dinner – for the inmates at the Wayne County Jail. The sheriff’s office’s responsibility is to provide an adequate kitchen, equipment in the kitchen, and trusties to help. We have two cooks who were hired through Canteen Correctional Services – Gloria Miller, the food service manager, and William Basinger.

In 2011, there were 31 inmates who participated in the Work Release Program.

Referral and consultation All inmates housed in the facility are eligible for mental health services. They may be referred by jail staff, medical staff, or by personal request. These services are available Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Mental health emergencies that occur during hours not covered by the jail’s mental health staff are handled by the crisis team of the Counseling Center of Wayne and Holmes Counties at no cost to the jail. During 2011 our mental health coordinator completed the following services:

An AA meeting for women is held every Saturday at 1:00 p.m. and the men have an AA meeting

on Sundays at 6:30 p.m. These meetings are facilitated by people in the community who are

dedicated to helping others recover from alcoholism. A total of 117 inmates participated in this

(65 males and 52 females).

.

MRT (Moral Reconation Therapy) is for inmates who have been court ordered to take it, or who

want to take it and are eligible. The class is facilitated by two municipal court probation officers

MEDICAL STAFF Our medical staff consists of Dr. Amy Jolliff, jail physician; Beth Gift, LPN; and Michael French, LPN, who replaced Roger Hess, LPN, who resigned in June. The medical department has annually received accreditation from the National Commission on Correctional Health Care since 1981. The nurses attend annual training to complete their required continuing education hours. In 2011, a total of 605 inmates were seen by the physician during sick calls and 538 physicals completed. In the latter part of 2008, we contracted with Premier Health Care Services. Premier has contracted with Dr. Amy Jolliff to be the Wayne County Jail’s Medical Director. We have retained Nurse Beth Gift as a county employee. Nurse Roger Hess resigned in June, and he was not replaced until late November. Some of the unseen savings by contracting with Premier is assistance to ensure we are being billed at Medicaid rates, development of medical policy and procedures, help in maintaining accreditation through the National Commission on Correctional Health Care, and training. We also are reducing medical costs by developing a formulary, establishing a policy for no narcotics and no comfort medications being distributed.

COURTHOUSE SECURITY The Wayne County Courthouse security falls under the responsibility of the Corrections Division of the Sheriff’s Office. Deputy Mike Porter and Deputy Greg Odenkirk were again assigned to this position in 2011. The officers presently utilize a walk-thru metal detector and a digital security camera system to monitor activity in the Courthouse. One deputy operates the security desk, manning the walk-through metal detector and monitoring the security camera system. There were 76,800 visitors to the Wayne County Courthouse in 2011. The second deputy assists in seven courtrooms. The deputies also assist Juvenile Probation, Adult Probation, Probate Court, Clerk of Courts and 3rd floor Mediations. The total courtroom assists in 2011 was 986. In July, we assigned Deputy Mark Porter to do prisoner transports. He transports prisoners from our jail to court hearings and to other correctional facilities, as well as picking up prisoners at other facilities to bring back to Wayne County for hearings and/or service of their time in the Wayne County Jail. During 2011, court security officers handled 185 of those transports to/from Corrections and the Linda Martin Attention Center. In 2011, the following items were taken from visitors for safekeeping while at the Courthouse for business:

# ITEMS TAKEN FOR SAFEKEEPING 17 Knives 4 Chemical agents 4 Handcuff keys 16 Other items – razor scrapers, box cutters, scissors, multi tools, etc.

The number of contraband items taken was low this year mainly due to the officers insisting that the items be returned to a person’s vehicle and only accepting items that were voluntarily surrendered for disposal. The Courthouse officers took 100 persons into custody through warrant arrests or other circumstances, as well as made 7 incident reports for violations that occurred.

CORRECTIONS DIVISION JAIL MINISTRY PROGRAM

“Then He will say to those at His left hand, Be gone from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels! For I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink; I was a stranger and you did not welcome Me and entertain Me; I was naked and you

did not clothe Me; I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me with help and ministering care. Then they also in their turn will answer, Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You? And He will reply to them,” Solemnly I declare to you, in

so far as you failed to do it for the least of these in the estimation of men you failed to do it for Me.” Matthew 25:41-45

The Wayne County Jail has a chaplaincy ministry that is overseen by Reverend Lee Anderson and covers many different areas in the jail and community. This ministry coordinates all the religious services within the jail, handles all indigent supplies for the inmates; sets up Bible studies; provides spiritual guidance to the inmates; and acts as a go-between with the inmates and their families, friends, churches, community services, courts and other functions. The Chaplain’s position is funded by the Wayne United Chaplain Ministries with funding coming from the United Way of Wooster and Orrville, private citizens and the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office.

God can work in impossible situations, but ours must be more than a theoretical faith. There is a

tendency among too many Christians to accept our Christianity without personal involvement. We want to experience Christian love, but we do not care to love our brethren. We want to be

men of faith, but we seem unwilling to manifest this faith in difficult life situations.

LAW ENFORCEMENT DIVISION OFFICER OF THE YEAR

Deputy Paul Brumme was selected as the 2011 Officer of the Year in the Law Enforcement Division. Paul is an 11-year veteran of the sheriff’s office, having started employment in December 2000. He has completed numerous training courses related to his job duties since then. He has worked in Corrections, road patrol, Chippewa Township officer, and was our DARE officer. His peers and supervisors noted that Paul always produces a high number of investigations, presentations for prosecution in court, written reports, traffic stops, and high work attendance. It is said that “Deputy Brumme always comes to work, to work”. Paul is the liaison to Medway Drug Enforcement Agency, is a crisis intervention specialist, and has received multiple life saving awards. Deputy Brumme and his family reside in the Wooster area.

Page 37: 2011 Annual Report – Wayne County Sheriff

LAW ENFORCEMENT DIVISION

The Law Enforcement or Patrol Division is one of three divisions of the Sheriff’s Office. This division is comprised of uniformed patrol deputies who patrol the county and respond to various calls for service. The patrol deputies are responsible for providing full service law enforcement to areas of the county that are not served by a local police department. The Office of Sheriff is unique due to the fact it is not the only law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction in all 555 square miles of Wayne County. The deputies assigned to the Patrol Division conduct criminal investigations, make arrests, enforce traffic laws, investigate accidents, serve warrants, and testify in court. In 2011, we saw an increase in our total calls for service as well as the total crimes reported. We investigated a total of four homicide cases and each investigation resulted in charges being filed against the suspects. Staffing of the division continued to be difficult as we saw the retirement of two deputies who had over 25 years of service. A third deputy with over 20 years resigned due to a medical disability. We also experienced several deputies who were unable to work for long periods of time due to illness or injury. Loosing over 70 years of experience in one year is difficult to overcome, but we will continue to move forward in 2012.

LITTER CREW The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office continues to receive funding for litter enforcement and clean-up from our Solid Waste District. The litter program again was overseen by Deputy Adam Chellis. He directed two civilian employees, Jim Davis and Jeff Hatten, who in turn oversee the litter crews. Jim Davis’ crew only worked from May 2 to May 20, 2011; and Jeff Hatten’s crew worked September 22, to October 28, 2011. In past years, both crews worked from April through October; however, state funding decreased dramatically for 2011. The litter crew consists of individuals who have been unable to pay court ordered fines or have been ordered to perform community service as part of a court sentence. During 2011, 25 crew members, working 1,295 hours, collected the following along 250 miles of Wayne County roadways: 1,428 bags of trash 303 car/truck tires 12,613 pounds recyclable trash 35,700 pounds of other trash We coordinate with the Wayne County Environmental Services for the Wayne County Adopt- a- Road program. In this program, businesses, civic groups, or even families “adopt a roadway” and are provided with trash bags. Once trash is picked up by the volunteers, arrangements are made with the litter crews to remove the trash from the area.

WAYNE COUNTY SHERIFF’S RESERVES

OFFICER OF THE YEAR

Reserve Deputy John Conlon was selected by the members of the Wayne County Sheriff’s Reserves as Reserve Officer of the Year for 2011. John began his “return volunteer service” with the Sheriff’s Office in July 2003, having been a former member. Serving as the unit’s Chaplain, he brings energy and a sense of duty to the unit. Deputy Conlon is a devoted member of the organization, working over 2,255 hours since 2003. He spends many Sundays assisting with inmate visitations. He also is dedicated in attending fallen officer ceremonies throughout Ohio in honor of officers killed in the line of duty. All of these qualities are why Deputy Conlon was chosen by his peers for 2011. Deputy Conlon resides in the Creston area with his wife.

Page 49: 2011 Annual Report – Wayne County Sheriff

WAYNE COUNTY SHERIFF’S RESERVES

The Wayne County Sheriff's Reserve is an organization of volunteer law enforcement officers that has existed for the past 37 years in support of the Wayne County Sheriff's Office. The unit supplies supplemental manpower to the Sheriff's Office for various activities and operations throughout the year. The unit presently consists of 18 officers, 8 of which are certified Ohio peace officers. At present, the Reserve Division has two deputies in the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy. In 2011, Reserve officers donated over 4,148 hours to the citizens of Wayne County. The Reserve Unit is divided into two divisions - Corrections and Law Enforcement. The largest is the Corrections Division. Corrections Division officers oversee the weekly inmate jail visitation program, make prisoner transports to and from out of county agencies, and work in various capacities inside the jail. In 2011, the Reserve Corrections Division provided 930 hours to the inmate visitation program and spent 161 hours transporting prisoners. The ability to provide this service to the Sheriff's Office saves the citizens of Wayne County a tremendous amount of funds. The Sheriff's Office would have to assign their full time deputies to provide visitation if the Reserve officers were not able to provide this assistance. The Law Enforcement Division officers spend many hours patrolling the county's roads, both alone and with full time patrol officers. They participate in major operations, such as drug raids and searches. During 2011, the Reserve Law Enforcement Division officers spent 65 hours on patrol and contributed many hours riding, making patrol cars two man units. The amount of hours worked by this division was up by almost 50%. All Reserve officers participate in security functions at special events, such as the Wayne County Fair, Kidron Mennonite Relief Sale, Election Board, extra Halloween patrols, farm tours, and village homecomings and parades. The Reserves were represented in good numbers at functions that required many officers. Reserve officers worked over 15 yearly functions as well as other special functions. At the Wayne County Fair, the Reserves worked over 722 hours. At other festivals and details, they worked 1,171 hours. The demand to have Reserves participate in various details during 2011 was about the same as the previous year; however, in 2009 the demand was higher. The Reserve Unit completed 298 hours of training from November 1, 2010 through October 31, 2011. The Sheriff's Reserve lost one member during the year due to various reasons, but we were able to also take on one new member. As a Reserve unit, we are always looking for qualified new applicants.

Page 50: 2011 Annual Report – Wayne County Sheriff

The Sheriff's Reserves’ main source of income for equipment and operating expenses comes from our annual Country Music Spectacular in mid July. In 2011, the income returned to levels of about two years ago. By having these funds available, we can now take on more new members as they make themselves available. Having these funds also allows us to make needed purchases of equipment that has not been replaced for some time. The Reserves will need the same income over the next two years in order to be back to normal levels of income. The cost of taking on a new member is in excess of $4,000 in most cases. Wayne County can be very proud of the Wayne County Sheriff's Reserve. The membership of the Reserves is a very caring and dedicated people from all walks of life. The Reserves demonstrate on a daily basis their professionalism and can-do attitude. These members prove time and time again that they truly care for Wayne County and all of its citizens.
