AGENDA ITEM# 4E
SEPTEMBER 8, 2014
The inaugural Citizens Police Academy (CPA) concluded in May, with 26 citizens
graduating after attending 1 0 weeks of Thursday evening classes. With such positive
feedback and high interest in the program, we have already begun preparing for the 2nd
academy to start this August. The participants were given a survey at the end of the
program and the entire CPA received an overall ranking of 4.8 out of a possible 5.
We continue to have one full time officer dedicated to the COPS (Community Oriented
Policing) program. This officer spends much of his time interacting with citizens within
the community, building positive relationships. He spends most of his days visiting the
community centers, city parks, and conducting patrol on foot and bicycle. Additionally
the COPS officer contacts citizens in need of services to offer different resources. The
COPS officer attends monthly beaches citizen advisory board meetings for local youth
who are first time offenders. At a recent community meeting, several citizens made very
positive comments about Officer Cassidy and his impact on the Donner area community.
The Atlantic Beach Police Department has an exceptional emergency response time. The
average emergency response time this year thru June 2014 is 2 minutes 32 seconds, from
the time the first call is received to the first officer on scene.

The state wide semiannual Part I crime statistics (Murder, Rape, Robbery, Aggravated
Assault, Burglary, Larceny and Auto Theft) for 2014 have not yet been published.
