Atlantic Beach
Police Department
3 rd Quarter 2011
Highlights
The Police Department has maintained a high level of resources in the Mayport Corridor
and Royal Palms areas. The Police Department continued to have two full time COPS
Officers dedicated to the Mayport area. Although Justice Assistance Grant funding for
these positions has decreased in the FY 2012, the service levels have remained essentially
the same.
They COPS officers have daily contact with the businesses and residents in the
community, interact with the kids at the Community Centers, and attend Special Events.
During the 3rd quarter the COPS officers attended a number of community events such as
Movie Night, Campout Under the Stars, Community Helpers Day at Donner Park and the
Fall Festival.
Our Patrol Officers spend much of their time providing a uniformed presence in the
corridor and our Crime Suppression Detectives have a heavy concentration there as well.
The Crime Suppression Unit responded to a complaint of drug sales near one the
Community Centers. Their investigation resulted in 5 arrests, including the arrest of an
escaped prisoner and several charges for the sale of narcotics.
The Atlantic Beach Police Department continues to have an exceptional emergency
response time. The average emergency response time for the year through the third
quarter was 1 minute 54 seconds.

The P quarter year to date crime rate continues to be very low and has dropped below
the 2010 levels for the same period. The total number of Part I Crimes in 2011 is down
4% from the same period in 2010. Property crimes such as burglary and larceny are the
largest category of crimes and all types have decreased this year. It is important to note
that 2010 represented the lowest crime rates in Atlantic Beach in more than a decade.
Auto accidents have increased over 2010 levels, but are directly in line with the 2009
statistics.
Crime in the Mayport Corridor for the first three quarters of 2011 was up slightly from
the same time period in 2010. Total part I crimes in the first 9 months of 2010 was 171
and there were 177 in 2011. Crime decreased 25% between 2008 and 2009 and that
decrease was maintained in 2010. It is possible that the initial decrease may be
maintained in 2011, but the 4` quarter crime stats will need to be very low.
Productivity
Calls for service in the first half of 2011 were down slightly, from 23,159 in 2010 to
20,183 in 2011. Arrests were up during the first 9 months this year by 1 I%, having made
671 arrests compared to 603 in 2010. DUI arrests are down slightly from last year, but
2010 was a record breaking year in the number of DUI arrests.
The Crime Suppression Unit (CSU) continues to be very roductive. They have made 49
felony arrests and 26 misdemeanor arrests through the 3 quarter of 2011. They have
also made 5 alcohol deployment arrests during this time. Compliance rates with alcohol
sales laws have generally been very high due to the continued checks that have been
conducted.
Animal Control had 1711 calls during the first three quarters, which is down slightly
from last year (1975). The ACO's conduct beach surveys every month to measure leash
law compliance. The average year to date compliance rate for 2011 is 88 %.

Currently the Police Department has one vacancy for police officer. Applicants for this
position have completed the testing portion of the selection process. Successful
candidates are being interviewed and the background investigations are underway. All
other Divisions in the Department are fully staffed.
