Police Department
3rd Quarter Report 2008
Highlights
The Police Department, along with all City Departments, has prioritized its efforts
towazds the Mayport Corridor Improvement Plan. There are 2 Police Officers that make
up the Community Oriented Policing unit assigned full-time to the Mayport Corridor.
The unit has been operational since mid August. The officers spend the majority of time
doing bike and foot patrols making contact with residents and businesses in the corridor.
Within just the first 2 months, these officers have participated in the Mayport community
meetings, Neighborhood Watch meetings and attended special events such as Movie in
the Park and the Fall Festival. Although enforcement is not the primary focus of the unit,
in the first 1 %i months there were 8 arrests made and 41 citations issued. Both officers
have become certified in police bicycle operations and one has completed a class in
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (OPTED).
The officers make daily visits to the Donner and Jordan Pazk Community Centers to work
with the local youth and provide a positive influence in their lives. The unit also works
with the homeless population informing them of services available and encouraging them
to work towazds getting off the street. They identified sites where transient camps had
been setup and then worked with property owners to cleaz and clean the area. COPs
officers closely monitor any known prostitutes and will "shadow" them if necessary
which eliminates any possibility of them conducting any illegal activity.
The Atlantic Beach Police Department continues to have an exceptional emergency
response time. The average for the 3rd quarter of 2008 is 2 minutes 42 seconds.
Crime
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement recently released the 2008 semi-annual
crime stats (Note: the 2008 numbers in the table below are only for 6 months of the yeaz).
Atlantic Beach continues to have the lowest per capita crime rate in Duval County and is
also below the state average.

Furthermore, Atlantic Beach has had the largest drop in crime (16.3%) for all of the cities
in the county for the first half of the year. This occurred while the Duval county average
was an increase of 4.9% and statewide there was a 1.6% increase.

Part 1 -16.3% -6.1% +3.7% +5.4% +1.6%

half 2008
This trend continued in the 3`d quarter where Atlantic Beach's crime rate has dropped
19.4% year to date (through the 3`d quarter). There were decreases in virtually every
category of part 1 crimes. There has been a 28.9% decrease in the amount of property
stolen year to date in 2008, which was over $180,000.
Productivity
The department continues to experience a high volume of calls for service. Although the
numbers for 2008 are down from 2007, there were still significant increases from prior
years. Traffic citations are also down from 2007, which is probably most attributable to
staff shortages. Arrests continue to be high albeit 5% down from 2007. This is, in part,
correlated to the decrease in the number of part 1 crimes. However, the decrease in crime
was nearly 4 times that of the decrease in arrests.
While the amount of stolen property decreased in 2008, recovery of stolen property is
over 39%, which is an increase of over 7.8% from 2007. 'This is also well above the state
average of 24%.
The Crime Suppression Unit (CSU} continues to be very productive with 52 arrests in the
3rd quarter alone. They are aggressively conducting alcohol compliance checks and have
charged eleven individuals with violations during this reporting period. Prostitution
arrests for the 3`d quarter were on par with the preceding year, but yeaz to date aze down
35%. 'This is indicative of a reduction of illegal activity due to past aggressive
enforcement of violations and employing continued tactics of deterrence.
Animal Control reported increases in activity from the prior year. They have experienced
an increase in all reported categories and have had a 26% increase year to date in the
number of citations issued.
Personnel
Currently the Police Department has 4 vacancies for police officers. Recruitment efforts
have been aggressive, however the challenge in selecting qualified applicants from a
AGENDA ITEM # 4A
NOVEMBER 24, 2008
shrinking pool of candidates has been extremely difficult. The department has not been
fully staffed at any point during this year. Recruitment efforts have been dramatically
expanded to attract all qualified candidates including out of town/state applicants
interested in relocating. Two out-of--state applicants have been successfully hired; one is
working in patrol and the other is currently in the final stages of the Field Training
Program.
There are also 2 civilian positions currently open. The Property and Evidence position
has been vacant for a number of months while a suitable replacement is being sought.
Due to the sensitive nature of the assignment, thorough background checks have to be
completed on the applicants who pass the initial testing and are deemed qualified. There
is also an Emergency Communication Operator vacancy due to the retirement of a 20
year employee.
Training
The Department is deeply committed to providing quality training to all of its employees.
In the Std quarter of 200$, employees attended over 450 hours of academy based, job
related training. Employees attended training in the following topics:
• Leadership/Supervision
• Recruitment and Background Investigations
• DUI Enforcement
• Field Sobriety Testing Instruction
• Criminal Investigative Techniques
• Safe and Legal Traffic Stops
• Criminal Patrol
• Verbal Judo
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 degree programs. The
department currently has two people who will be completing their Masters Degrees
shortly after the first of the year and a number of others enrolled in undergraduate
programs.
