3 rd Quarter 2013
AGENDA ITEM# SC
JANUARY 13, 2014
The police department completed the last of three "Yield to Life; Look All-Ways" pedestrian
and bicyclist safety campaigns this quarter; focusing on selected areas based upon crash data.
The campaign raised a lot of awareness and was highly visible not only in Atlantic Beach but
also on media outlets throughout Jacksonville. Over 750 T -shirts in total were given out
during the campaigns while speaking with bicyclists and pedestrians traveling in the area; as
well as over 12,000 educational brochures distributed to local residents, pedestrians, drivers of
vehicles, and patrons of Atlantic Beach businesses.
One full time officer remains dedicated to the COPS (Community Oriented Policing)
program. This officer spends much of his time interacting with citizens within the
community, building positive relationships, patrolling on a bicycle to allow more citizen
interaction, and visiting the community centers and city parks on a daily basis. He contacts
local transients and people in need to offer resources, and is a familiar face to most local
business owners. The COPS officer works closely with other city departments on a regular
basis such as code enforcement and the park rangers. The salary of the COPS position
remains predominantly grant funded. Grant funding towards this position in the 2014 fiscal
year has been secured in the amount of$39,205.
The Atlantic Beach Police Depmiment continues to have an exceptional emergency response
time. The average emergency response this year is 3 minutes and 1 second.
The police depmiment conducted a citizen satisfaction survey. The survey was mailed to 500
residents, which was comprised of a cross section of the entire city. They were asked to
answer mm1y questions regarding the quality of life, police service, interactions with police
and their level of satisfaction. On a scale of 1 to 4 with 4 being the highest, the overall score
was 3.4. We received 111 completed surveys from citizens.
Crime
The state wide semiannual Pmi I (Murder, Rape, Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Burglary,
Larceny and Auto Theft) crime statistics has recently been published. Atlantic Beach
experienced 177 part one crimes during the first half of the year. Including the third qumier,
Atlantic Beach has had 300 reported part one crimes. That is 3% more than the same time
frame in 2012 (291 ), but still down significantly from 2009 -2011. Atlantic Beach continues
to have the lowest per capita crime rate in the county and as compared to the State average.

We continue to track crime and crime trends in the Maypmi Corridor. Of the 300 Part I
crimes reported city wide through the third qumier, 81% or 243 occurred in the Mayport
Corridor. There were 29 violent crimes (Aggravated Assault, Robbery and Rape) in the
corridor so far this year as compared to 25 at the same time in 2012. That is still a 47%
reduction (54 vs. 29) from 2011. Last year the city experienced a very dramatic drop in all
crime that correlated with an entire multifmnily housing ownership change with a complete
renovation during which time the complex had no residents. It was reported throughout 2012
that the police department did not anticipate those decreases being maintained after the units
becmne occupied.
Year to date, traffic accidents were up slightly from the smne time frmne in 2012; from 188 to
205 reported accidents. At the end of the third qumier this year we had 20 reported accidents
involving pedestrians/bicyclists as compared to 21 last year.
Productivity
The Police Depmiment had 17,198 calls for service through the third quarter of 2013, a 4%
increase from the same time frame in 2012. There were 588 arrests through the third qumier.
The crime suppression unit has worked with staff shortages for a pmiion of the year; however
they have still been responsible for 36 arrests and have conducted monthly alcohol
compliance checks to ensure that retailers are not selling alcohol to minors.
Personnel
Currently the Police Depmiment has one Emergency Communications Dispatcher position
opening and two police officer vacancies. Applicants are currently being processed and
selected for all of these openings.
Training
The Department is deeply committed to providing quality training to all its employees. In the
third quarter of2013, employees have attended training in the following topics:
• Alcohol and Drug Impaired Driving
• Police Bicycle Operator Course
• FDLE Forensic Training
• Roadside Interview Techniques and Detecting Deception

Advanced training keeps employees current and on the cutting edge of Public Safety
techniques, trends and strategies. The Department believes a better trained employee results in
the delivery of a higher quality of service. The above list does not include classes taken by the
employees who are enrolled in various college degree programs.
