Law enforcement took off to a dramatic start when the City of Davis was incorporated on March 28, 1917, with a population of 979 inhabitants. The first Board of Trustees enacted 16 city ordinances, ranging from banishing all livestock from city streets and sidewalks, to prohibiting the littering of streets with such things as paper, filth, and sweepings from stores. The first known police facility was an old “plank jail” located adjacent to the courtroom of the Justice of the Peace on the east side of Oak Street, somewhere south of the old Police Station & Historic City Hall on F Street. Prior to that, most people who ran afoul of the law were placed in the American Hotel at the southwest corner of Olive and 2nd Streets, presently known as 3rd and G Streets. The first city marshal was appointed sometime in 1917 by the Board of Trustees. An early Davisville resident, Jesus Pena, assumed those responsibilities, including enforcing the newly-enacted city ordinances, as well as the job of wetting down the streets of Davis with a horse-drawn water wagon during the hot and dusty summer months. The first recorded Justices of the Peace in Davisville were William H. Marden in the South Putah Township, with Charles E. Green holding the same office in the north area. Davis’ first justice of the peace was William H. Scott, who held the office from 1899, where he was reported to have held court in a barbershop on Main Street, until 1942. Davis’ first full-time, paid police officer, Floyd Gattrell, was hired in June 1927. He was hired as a traffic officer and patrolled the streets on an early-model motorcycle. On December 15, 1927, with the population of Davis swelling to approximately 1,000

inhabitants, the Board of Trustees appointed Gattrell as Davis’ first police chief. Through the years, the police chiefs have been:

Floyd Gattrell – 1927 to 1946

Frank Hamilton – 1946 to 1960

Arthur Lukeman – 1960 to 1961

B.D. Bartholomew – 1961 to 1980

Victor W. Mentink – 1980 to 1988

Phillip Coleman – 1989 to 1996

Jerry A. Gonzales – 1996 to 2000

Martin C. Ruiz – 2000-2002

Jim Hyde - 2003-2006

Landy Black—2007 to present

Today, with over 66,000 inhabitants, in addition to the police chief, the Davis Police Department has almost 100 employees, including 62 sworn officers, 33 full time and 4 part time civilian personnel.

Officer of the Year 2012 Stephen Ramos

During 2012, as in previous years, Detective Ramos was assigned several large burglary cases, each part of what was believed to be a string of similar or related cases. Through intensive investigative efforts, Detective Ramos was responsible for resolving at least 3 large property crime conspiracies. As anyone in law enforcement will tell you,

unwinding a complex conspiracy is no easy task. And, being able to formulate a prosecutable case takes painstaking effort. But, Detective Ramos has repeatedly demonstrated his investigative competency by doing just that. Detective Ramos is well known in the Department for being a resource in surveillance and tracking. He makes himself available, with little or no advance notice, to take on cases, or help others when they need it. He is reliable and dedicated to service. Detective Ramos serves as an Assistant Team Leader on the SWAT Team. He also serves as a firearms instructor and a defensive tactics instructor. He is well known for his teaching efforts and dedication to teaching officer safety and survival skills. Detective Ramos also serves as a speaker for the Mothers Against Drunk Driving - DUI Offender Victim Impact Panel. As a speaker, he shares how a DUI offender was responsible for a personal family tragedy in an effort to prevent further drunk or impaired driving. Detective Ramos has numerous commendations from supervisors and citizens, has been previously selected as officer of the quarter in 2011, has received two Chief’s Citations, the MADD DUI Award, the CHP 10851 Vehicle Theft Recovery Pin, and the Distinguished Service Medal.

Dispatcher of the Year 2012 Jack Chen

During 2012, Jack has continually demonstrated good communication and coordination skills, as well as a calm demeanor. He is attentive to his job and has a good teamwork ethic with his peers. He works well with his co-workers and is always willing to pull his share of overtime, flex his schedule to accommodate others, and always comes in to work these extra hours with a smile. Department staff continually feel that Jack has their safety as a top priority. Jack is consistently courteous, professional and knowledgeable. When presented with question, staff are confident that Jack will find an appropriate answer or solution in a timely manner. There are several examples of Jack’s outstanding work. Jack was the primary fire dispatcher during Former President Clinton’s visit to the UC Davis campus on October 9, 2012. Jack had to deal with multiple ICS related obstacles and coordination between allied agencies. He was also the call taker during an in progress burglary on July 24, 2012. The call continued with a vehicle theft, chase and subsequent arrest. Jack was commended for his good call-taking skills with the multiple callers. He was also recognized recently by Fire Department staff for his outstanding work, competence and professional manner in assisting on a 3rd Alarm call. The Dispatcher of the Year Award is traditionally awarded to those Public Safety Dispatchers who demonstrate exceptional performance throughout the awarded year and exemplify the Department’s customer service philosophy. Clearly, Public Safety Dispatcher Jack Chen exemplifies that philosophy.

Special Honors


Sample Highlights from 2012

Discharge of a Weapon On February 27, Investigators were called out to assist Patrol Officers with a case in the 1000 block of 3rd St. It was determined through the investigation that the resident had destroyed his own property, including exterior windows, and had also discharged firearms within the residence that penetrated the interior and exterior walls of the house. At the conclusion of the investigation, the resident was charged with four felony counts, including the Discharge of a firearm and Possession of an illegal weapon. In addition, sixteen weapons were seized from the residence.

Stolen Vehicle On January 6, 2012, a Patrol Officer, while working the 1800 block of Cowell Blvd., observed an Acura. The Officer checked the license number which revealed the vehicle was stolen out of Oakland. When the officer attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver accelerated in order to escape. A chase pursued through Davis, and the Officer eventually chased the suspect into a dead-end street where he tried to block the suspects escape route with his patrol car. The suspect rammed the patrol vehicle with the stolen vehicle, eventually managing to get out of the cul-de-sac. The suspect subse-quently ditched the stolen Acura, but was eventually found hiding in a backyard ,where he was taken into custody. He was charged with Vehicle Theft, Evading Police Officers, Assault with a deadly weapon, and Possession/Transportation of a Controlled Substance.

Bank Robbery On January 3, 2012, a man in his twenties walked into a downtown bank in Davis and handed the teller a note saying he had a gun, and demanded cash. The teller complied with his request, and the man walked out of the bank with the cash in hand. An employee of the bank followed him, taking note of the vehicle’ s description, and then called in the robbery to the Police Department. A patrol officer, who happened to be in the area, spotted the vehicle, and called for back up. The Officer continued to follow the suspects vehicle as it left Davis and got on the freeway driving towards West Sacramento. Once back up Officers caught up with the Patrol Officer and the suspects vehicle, the suspect was eventually pulled over as he exited the freeway towards West Sacramento. He was taken into custody without incident. The Police Department praised the bank employee’s work in being able to get a good description of the suspects vehicle, which enabled Officers to locate the suspect and eventually arrest him.



Residential Burglaries In March of 2012, the community experienced a rash of residential burglaries where the suspect became bolder by entering occupied residences. Investigators were mobilized to assist patrol with stepped up patrols and saturation in the impacted areas. On March 29, the suspect was caught fleeing a residence that he had just burglarized. During the course of the investigation, the suspect admitted to investigators that he had burglarized the home. In addition, investigators tied him to four other residential burglaries.

Commercial Burglary On March 20, 2012, a business in downtown Davis was victimized by a burglar that had forced entry into the building and removed a safe, a computer, and other miscellaneous property. The loss totaled over $5,000. The business had possibly identified the suspect from the video surveillance system as an employee of the business. Investigators assisted patrol with this case and ultimately obtained a confession from the suspect. The suspect was charged and convicted of commercial burglary.

Commercial Burglary On September 9, 2012, an auto dealership on Chiles Rd. was burglarized where more than $140,000 had been stolen; this included miscellaneous equipment and a vehicle. Investigators immediately picked up this case and began to work multiple leads, including the recovery of the. During the course of the investigation, the investigator wrote and served sixteen search warrants which included phones and residences. As the case progressed, search warrants were served in Elk Grove and Sacramento, which resulted in the arrest of three suspects.



Carjacking On October 8, an officer on patrol was checking the parking lot of a business on Chiles Rd. when he noticed a suspicious subject. The subject fled from the officer and ultimately carjacked a female at an adjacent business. The suspect then led officer on a vehicle pursuit that was terminated in the Yolo Wildlife area due to dangerous conditions. Investigators were called to secure the area where the suspect had been seen leaving and to look for a female who was in the company of the male. While conducting surveillance, investigators contacted and ultimately arrested the female companion of the male. A search warrant was executed on the room of the suspect where narcotics and paraphernalia was located along with several dozen identification cards from identify theft victims from the Mid-West and California. The male was ultimately arrested on the county and charged with three felonies to include carjacking, stealing a motor vehicle, and evading arrest as well as two misdemeanor crimes. The female was arrested on an outstanding

warrant from Kentucky. Drug Arrests On October 11, 2012, a Patrol Officer spotted a suspicious vehicle and made contact with the occupant. Through the contact, it was discovered that the driver was in possession of an illegal weapon. Upon further investigation, it was deter-mined that the occupant was in possession of illegal narcotics and narcotics paraphernalia. The occupant of the vehicle was arrested and lodged at the Monroe Detention Center for illegal narcotics and possession of an illegal weapon. At approximately the same time as the above incident, Davis Police Officers were called to a Pharmacy in North Davis, were a female attempted to obtain prescription narcotics with a forged prescription. The suspect eventually admitted that she had forged the prescription, and Officers eventually arrested her. She was charged with three felonies; fraudulently obtain-ing a controlled substance, burglary, and forgery.


A Few Words of Commendation in 2012

RE: Officer D. Martin “On behalf of the University Retirement Community, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude for your continuous efforts to serve and protect our Davis community members. On, Sunday, May 20th, one of our residents left URC for a morning bike ride. By the end of the day, when he had not returned, his wife grew worrisome. We contacted the Davis Police Department, and within minutes, three squad cars arrived to assist in locating the missing gentleman. Officer Martin, in particular, did an excellent job at managing the situation. His superb leadership helped calm those who were worried and he developed a plan to trace our missing resident. We are grateful to him for his professionalism, compassion for the sensitivity of the situation. The resident eventually returned to URC later that afternoon, after going for a longer bike ride than usual. Even though he is safe, we know that the Davis Police Department is there for us, as always, we the need arises.”

RE: Officer M. Yu “I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to officers who responded to a very traumatic incident that I was involved in. I would especially like to thank Officer Yu for his professionalism and compassion. His actions that night helped ease what was a very traumatic incident, as well as give me the courage to leave an abusive relationship.”

RE: Officer Dacanay “This letter is in reference to a traffic stop that occurred on Covell Blvd. The fact of the matter is that I was speeding and your officer acted completely appropriately in stopping me. This letter is not a complaint but rather a letter of commendation. Your traffic officer was courteous and professional. His conduct reflects well on your department and the City of Davis.”

RE: Officer L. Cox “This letter is to thank you for your exemplary service and compassion the night my mother passed away. You were thoughtful to tell me what to expect at each moment, and stayed with me until the mortuary representatives arrived. I appreciate your time and your generosity.”

RE: Corporal Edens, Officer Torres, and Officer Talaveras “My husband and I were coming home from the hospital. My husband was driving a little erratic from being sick, and we were stopped by Officer Torres. Officer Torres gave my husband the Field Sobriety Test. His administration of the test was exemplary . He was clear, concise, and unbiased. All three officers were professional, and all showed respect and care while performing their duties. They did a great job!”

Here at the Davis Police Department, we are pleased when

employees receive words of commendation from community members. A copy of any note of commendation is given to the employee, their

immediate supervisor, the Division Commanders; and a copy is placed in the employees personnel file.

Here is a sampling of those received in 2012.


A Few Words of Commendation

RE: Lieutenant P. Doroshov, Officer L. Hatfield, Officer A. Pineda “I am writing to let you know about certain members of your force. Las week we had a traumatic experience of a missing persons report, which was filed by our son’s housemate in Davis. Officer Hatfield, who went to the house, was calm, professional, and sensitive. He was very easy to work with, and very patient. That said, the next morning, we received the same exceptional service from Lt. Doroshov, as well as Officer Pineda. You have exceptional staff.”

RE: Officer Muscardini, Records Specialists Henning and Hurtado “I was getting out of my vehicle, when I opened the door and accidently hit a bicyclist who was riding by. The gentleman fell off the bike, but said he was fine, and did not want to file a police report. I called the Police Department to file a report, and spoke to Officer Muscardini, as well as Records Specialists Hurtado and Henning. All three were kind, professional, and pleasant, in assisting me file the report.”

RE: Officers D. Beckwith, E. Ellsworth, L. Hatfield, Sergeant M. Munoz “I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the officers of the Davis Police Department who responded to our call for assistance, when our son wandered away from home. We were very concerned because our son has incomplete safety awareness and was vulnerable to putting himself into dangerous traffic situations. The Officers responded very quickly, and explained the search strategy . Within a short period of time, the officers were able to locate my son, and return him safely to our care. We extend our thanks to all of the officers who were so efficient and caring in the discharge of their duties.”

RE: Officers L. Hatfield, D. Beckwith, M. Arimboanga “We commend and thank the three officers who provided us with excellent service one evening this past May. We had called Animal Control, who then contacted the Davis Police Department regarding a serious dog fight involving two pit bulls in our neighborhood. When the Davis Police Officers arrived, we had the two dogs separated, but needed help keeping them separated, and getting care for one of the dogs who was seriously injured. The officers demonstrated excellent dog handling skills and real concern and kindness for the dogs, and were wonderful with us in our agitated state. We are grateful for the professional, kind and expert help we received from your team.”

RE: Public Safety Dispatcher J. Rasmussen “I am writing to commend Dispatcher Jennifer Rasmussen. My nephew suffered an unknown brain malfunction which cause him to pass out. He was transported to the hospital, where we discovered he had suffered a stroke. In all the confusion, his car was left at the scene. Two days later, I called the Police Department, and spoke to Dispatcher Rasmussen about the location of the car. She was able to contact a nearby business and confirm the car was still there, not stripped, etc. I was so awesome to deal with someone who was professional, kind, and helpful. Her actions reflect on the Davis Police Department as being top notch.”


Patrol Division 2012

Patrol is the backbone of the Davis Police Department. They respond to everything from burglaries in progress to noisy animals, family disturbances to traffic collisions. The Division is led by Lieutenant Ton Phan and Lieutenant Paul Doroshov. During 2012 it was staffed with 7 Sergeants, 5 Corporals, 30 Sworn Officers, 5 Reserve Police Officers, 4 Civilian Police Service Specialists, 1 Crime Analyst, 1 part time Bike Officer, and 3 Police Services Specialist Officers.

These include calls related to criminal investigations, traffic collisions and suspicious circumstances, domestic violence cases, driving under the influence of alcohol, alarms at residential and commercial buildings, medical aid calls and calls to assist other allied agencies such as the UC Davis Police Department. Officer initiated activity is also an important aspect of the Patrol Division function which includes traffic enforcement, parking enforcement, crime suppression and directed patrol of neighborhoods, apartments and business areas. In addition to routine patrol, officers work bicycle and motorcycle patrol around Davis. Our Police Service Specialists assist Patrol Officers by taking cold crime and incident reports, towing vehicles, crime prevention, evidence collection, traffic control and other administrative details.

The beginning of the academic year at UCD brings a rise in excessive drinking and/or underage drinking, large parties, a rise in the number of people who visit Davis to attend parties and drink at local bars, increased vandalism in the core area and assaults and other violent crimes which often accompany alcohol consumption. The Patrol division coordinated a Fall Patrol Plan with the objectives of managing the issues surrounding alcohol consumption through increased patrols, prevention, and directed training/education. They coordinated efforts with UCD staff and students to: Educate students on how to socialize safely and have

smaller controlled gatherings or parties. Create an enjoyable atmosphere in the core area by

reducing violent crime and the amount of property damaged by vandalism.

Work in partnership with the bar managers to reduce the number of alcohol-related crimes that take place in their establishments and assist them in developing bar staff so that their methods of operation are effective and within the law.

Supplement patrol in managing alcohol-related issues so that officers can focus on other crimes occurring in their beats.

Patrol staff set up meetings with local bar managers to discuss bar related issues. We coordinated with the UCD Health Center/Safe Party Initiative to assist with student outreach, education, and to provide “Safe Party” literature and packs to be distributed in known problem area. Staff also coordinated training by field officers in operations such as refreshers on legal issues in party response, responding to bar problems, and ABC procedures. Staff also handled referrals to UCD Student Judicial Affairs and coordinated enforcement activities with ABC.

Picnic Day Enforcement Statistics - April 20 & 21, 2012

The annual Picnic Day event is centered around the U.C.D. Open House and includes a Saturday morning parade through downtown Davis. There are generally numerous parties at private residences and fraternities/sororities occurring Friday evening through early Sunday morning. In addition, the areas in and around downtown, especially the restaurants and bars, are busy and boisterous. The mission of the Davis Police Department is to facilitate the celebration activities while maintaining public safety and order. City of Davis Police Officers, with the help of Officers from other Yolo County and State law enforcement agencies worked to keep Picnic Day 2012 safe. Officers from the California Highway Patrol, the Yolo County Sheriff's Department; the Woodland, West Sacramento, and Winters Police Departments; University of California Police Departments; California Department of Fish and Game; and the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control all worked together to maintain order; enforcing laws and city ordinances. Officers focused attention on downtown Davis and neighborhoods traditionally hosting large house-parties by patrolling on foot, bike, and in patrol cars. The California Highway Patrol and an "Avoid the 8" Team (an OTS grant funded, county-wide DUI enforcement team) were out looking for those who chose to drive drunk. California Beverage Control Agents were in town enforcing violations associated with alcohol consumption and the sales of alcohol. While the record of our enforcement actions may provide a sense of the types and volume of activity in which enforcement activity was taken, the police department’s overall perception of things is that there were fewer crimes of violence (reported and not reported) than during Picnic Day 2011. While there was a significant amount of alcohol-driven disorder, the Davis downtown area seemed a safer place. The following are the Picnic Day enforcement statistics where 53 physical arrests were made:

33 arrests for Public Intoxication (all on Saturday, Picnic Day) 1 arrest for Public Intoxication where the suspect resisted arrest 1 arrest for Public Intoxication, Possession of a False ID, and Resisting Arrest. 6 arrests for DUI 1 arrest for Bicycling Under the Influence. 1 arrest for Minor DUI (under 21 w/BAC of .01+ or .05+) on Friday. 1 arrest for Open Container and Resisting arrest 1 arrest for Possession of a Dirk/Dagger and Resisting (Felony) (juvenile) 1 arrest for Resisting and Assault on an Officer 1 arrest for Public Intoxications, Resisting, and Assault on an Officer 1 arrest for Resisting 1 arrest for Providing False Information to an Officer 1 arrest for Possession of Methamphetamine (Felony) 1 arrest for Possession of a Dirk/Dagger (Felony) 1 arrest for Indecent Exposure


Picnic Day Enforcement Statistics - April 20 & 21, 2012

The following are the Picnic Day enforcement statistics where 150 citations were issued: 101 of the 150 citations issued were within the safety Enhancement Zone (SEZ)

91 citations for Open Container of Alcohol in a Public Place (all on Saturday, April 21st) 88 in the SEZ (includes 7 in the expanded portions of the SEZ)

Motors Officers Sergeant Rod Rifredi

Officer Jesse Dacanay Officer Nick Doane

The Motors Unit consists of two motorcycle officers and a traffic sergeant. Motorcycles are often used for traffic enforcement because they allow officers easier accessibility to traffic related problems. The traffic enforcement officers are primarily responsible for enforcing the California Vehicle Code, local traffic ordinances, and investigating vehicle collisions. The purpose of the traffic unit is to create safer roadways for motorist, cyclists and pedestrians. This is accomplished through enforcing traffic laws, educating citizens and helping to identify roadway engineering issues. The traffic officers respond to community complaints regarding traffic safety issues and provide dedicated enforcement at high collision intersections.

Davis K-9 Team Statistics 2012

Officer Lee Hatfield with

K-9 Partner Hurricane

“Cane”

The value of K-9 units in law enforcement has long been recognized as a significant and effective tool in locating, detaining and apprehending suspects, locating missing persons, and assisting with crowd control, as well as helping to “de-escalate” tense situations involving crowds. The Davis Police Department has employed K-9 teams since August, 2003.

Officer Hatfield and K-9 Hurricane have responded to several calls over the past year. On March 11, 2012, they responded to a call where a suspect had fled on foot after being pulled over for a traffic stop by a Patrol Officer. After fleeing into the Davis Waste Removal Yard, K-9 Hurricane found the suspect hiding in of a tree. The suspect eventually came down from the tree and was arrested on suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle, of being previously convicted of a felony and in possession of an firearm, driving with a suspended license, and resisting a police officer. Without K-9 Hurricane’s assistance, Officers would have had a hard time spotting the suspect in top of the tree. On October 8, 2012, Davis Police Officers responded to a call of a man suspected of a carjacking at the Taco Bell, on Chiles Road in Davis. Officers soon spotted the stolen car and began pursuit. The suspect drove into the Yolo Bypass and south on Levee Road. Due to poor road conditions, the Officer slowed down the pursuit and unfortunately lost sight of the suspect. The stolen vehicle was eventually located but the suspect was missing. Several outside agencies were called in to assist in the search of the suspect, and after several hours, he was located hiding in a cornfield. After being asked to surrender, and refusing, K-9 Hurricane was sent in to apprehend him, and the suspect was arrested.

The Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT) is a multi-jurisdictional team comprised of Davis and West Sacramento police officers. The team is a part-time team, which means that their membership on the team is a collateral assignment, in addition to their primary duties. During 2012, the Davis Police Department had nine members assigned to the team and one lieutenant who was the tactical commander. West Sacramento devoted eight officers to the team. In order to stay proficient in the tactical environment, the team trains roughly twenty hours a month, covering numerous disciplines, including building searches, hostage rescue, high risk warrant services, dignitary protection, and working collaboratively with other special disciplines such as Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) and Hostage Negotiations (HNT). During 2012, The SWAT team was activated 8 times; 3 warrant services (five residences served) , one field search for a suspect wanted for assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder of a peace officer, three barricaded subject incidents, and one barricaded hostage incident. In all, The SWAT team assisted with arresting 8 subjects wanted on various felony charges including narcotics violations as well as weapons violations. In addition, aside from specialized training, the team participated in over 200 hours of training, which included rappelling, hostage rescue, field searching, dignitary protection, and SWAT and K-9 Interaction training, to name a few.

Youth - Part of Our Strategic Plan

Strategic Plan Goal Statement - The Davis Police Department is dedicated to promoting and ensuring the safety,

education, and welfare of all young people throughout the city. We are committed to encouraging young people to

avoid drugs and gangs, stay in school, and contribute positively to society.

We believe if we reach out to our youth at an early age, they can develop strong, positive

attitudes and trust towards police officers along with respect for the law in their journey

through life toward the goal of maturity and good citizenship. The Davis Police

Department continues to seek opportunities to interact with our young community

members through non enforcement activities. We do this through outreach programs that

educate and foster positive relationships between our youth and our officers. We evaluate

our processes periodically to ensure our goals and objectives in this area meet the needs

of the community.

It is our firmest belief that every young person has a right to the opportunity to succeed.

Our youth are our best investment in the future. We look forward to the challenges ahead,

the partnership with the community, and the community’s support for our efforts in

providing opportunities and building relationships.

The Youth Intervention Specialist serves as a liaison between the Police Department, school officials, and the community at large. The Youth Intervention Specialist oversees an in-house diversion program for first time juvenile offenders, coordinates truancy outreach days, and investigates some runaway juvenile cases. The Youth Intervention Specialist also works with students at school sites and with families in crisis. Meetings are arranged with the juveniles and their parents to discuss their case. If the juvenile meets certain criteria, he or she may be placed on a contract for a 6-month period. This may include being assigned to complete a certain amount of community service hours, to attend school on a regular basis, essays, etc. Diversion:

Nearly 100 juvenile cases were handled informally and

diverted from the juvenile court system.

Juvenile arrest data shows the recidivism rate for juvenile

offenders is approximately 19%, down from 23% in 2011.

The Davis Police Department has an active crime prevention program. The goal of the Crime Prevention Unit is to educate the public and keep open the lines of communication between the community members and the Police Department. The Crime Prevention Unit also oversees the Neighborhood Watch program. Neighborhood Watch is a crime opportunity reduction program where citizens band together and work with local law enforcement to combat and prevent crime in their neighborhoods, while at the same time enhancing the sense of safety and security, developing environments where crime cannot flourish. The Crime Prevention specialist coordinated the following during 2012: 35 Neighborhood Watch/Crime Free Multi-Housing meetings. Utilized the social media program, Nextdoor.com to communicate with and disseminate information directly to the city of

Davis residents. Promoted the Davis Police Department at Celebrate Davis in May of 2012, National Night Out at Target in August, and

Davis Neighbors Night Out in October. Hosted another successful Youth Police

Academy in June, with the assistance of several Officers in the department. Three new cadets were recruited from this year’s academy.

Crime Prevention


Volunteers in Police Services Program The Volunteers in Police Services (VIPS) Program provides a valuable resource to our law enforcement officers and support personnel that enable them to focus on policing and enforcement responsibilities. The volunteers are a group of adults who pool their talents, knowledge, and abilities; donating their time to help the Police Department pro-vide a higher level of service to the citizens in our community. The Davis Police Depart-ment is fortunate to have over 25 VIPS working with us who fill critical gaps in program support, and enhance services, enabling law enforcement personnel to respond more effectively to enforcement and policing priorities. In turn, our volunteers contribute in a meaningful way to the safety of their community. Cadet Program The principal goal of the cadet program are to train young men and woman on the various aspects of police work while they work within and for their community. The Cadets have many responsibilities and duties that support the City of Davis Police Department. A Police Cadet will often be called upon to assist in various divisions within the organization. The cadets are trained in areas such as: radio codes, first Aid & CPR, physical training, penal codes and vehicle code laws, building searches, felony car stops, Narcot-ics, K-9, suspect descriptions, officer safety, defensive tactics, booking evidence, and most importantly, they are exposed to the in-famous “paperwork” the police officers have to do. They attend meetings once a month on the third Thursday of each month. Police Cadets are exposed to law enforcement by riding along with Police Officers during their regular shifts and experiencing the day-to-day operations. Both the Volunteers in Police Services and the Cadets provide valuable services to the Davis Police Department and surrounding community. During 2012, Volunteers and Cadets put in a total of 2300 hours performing duties which included: Assisted with Parking issues—writing citations Clerical assistance Park and Greenbelt Patrol Crime Prevention Downtown and business area crime prevention

and patrol Graffiti Abatement Assisted with Traffic Control Performed Vacation House Checks Provided special event and parade detail Provided emergency call-out support Assisted with DUI check points

Statement is “Using two way

communications, improve

relationships between the public

and the police. To actively

represent the community by

articulating, advising and tracking

community and police issues.”
