Productive Year For<strong>Chandler</strong>’s TrafficTeamBy Sgt. Dean LavergneThe Traffic Team began the <strong>2008</strong> calendar yearwith an overall strategic goal of reducing the totalnumber of traffic accidents in the City of <strong>Chandler</strong>by 5.00% and reducing Driving Under the Influence(DUI) related crashes by 0.50% compared to 2007.The major methodology adopted towards thisend utilized day shift traffic teams for “directedenforcement” details at high accident areas and theuse of regular patrol teams utilizing uncommittedtime for traffic violation detection and enforcement.Photo enforcement played a significant role in thisplan as well and by the end of <strong>2008</strong>, there were nineintersections being enforced.The overall accident reduction achievement for <strong>2008</strong> was 15.26%.Although higher fuel costs and the poor economy may have been a factorin this reduction, the program was highly successful.Lower fuel costs and a stabilizing economy may attribute to more vehicleFleet <strong>Report</strong>The <strong>Chandler</strong> <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Department</strong> patrol fleet is comprised of Ford Crown Victoria <strong>Police</strong>Interceptors (CVPI), Chevrolet Tahoes and Dodge Chargers. In both the United Statesand Canada, the CVPI is one of the most widely used automobiles in law enforcementagencies and comprises the bulk of the <strong>Chandler</strong>’s patrol fleet. The attributes often citedare power, large interior and more trunk space. The Chevrolet Tahoes are assigned tosupervisors and K-9 units, providing more cargo room for K-9s and specialty equipment.Patrol officers use Tahoes as well. Dodge Chargers have recently entered the police patrolsedan market and there are a few 2006 models in the <strong>Chandler</strong>’s patrol fleet. The attributesoften cited are handling and acceleration.14


traffic in the current year. The <strong>2009</strong> traffic goals are to furtherreduce the present accident rate per 1,000 population. The majoremphasis for <strong>2009</strong> is a reduction of DUI related crashes, from5.90% to 5.75%. Another emphasis is to increase the detectionrate of DUI drivers, from 1,460 to 1,500. This DUI detectioneffort includes continuing an enhanced Drug Recognition Expert(DRE) emphasis to address the trend of more drivers beingimpaired by drugs, to include prescription medications.Traffic Team Completes Its Transition toHonda MotorcyclesBy Ofc. John AllisonIn March 2006, the <strong>Chandler</strong> <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Department</strong> receivedits first fleet of six Honda ST1300 police motorcycles,transitioning from the Kawasaki KZ1000 after themanufacturer announced the model’s discontinuation. As ofJune <strong>2009</strong>, the entire Traffic Section uses Hondas. Thesemotorcycles are equipped with an integrated front and rearanti-lock braking system, which enables the rider, in a hardbraking situation, to steer around hazards in the roadway.The front and rear suspension system provides smoothnessand comfort for the rider during long periods of enforcementactivity. The Honda is also equipped with an adjustablefront windshield that allows the rider to adjust the airflowand protection during inclement weather. The motorcycle’sspacious saddlebags allow the officer to carry necessaryequipment. Emergency lights mounted on the front, rear,and on each sideprovide an elementof officer safety asthe lights projectfrom various anglesto approachingmotor vehicletraffic.DUI Vehicle Offers ManyBenefitsby Sgt. Charles CoteThe <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Department</strong> acquired a new vehicle this yearto be used as a command post for traffic enforcement andserious injury and fatal crash investigations. The 35-foot<strong>2008</strong> Freightliner was built by LDV Inc. and is used atimpaired driver saturation patrols throughout the city. Itallows officers to utilize a self-contained command postfor processing arrestees and reducing the time and costsassociated with transporting suspects to the police station.The vehicle is also used at scenes of fatal and seriousinjury crashes so that the specialized traffic investigatorshave access to phones, computers and overhead mappingimages of the area being investigated. The vehicle, whichcan serve as a shelter from the elements during lengthyinvestigations, contains two blood draw stations, officerworkstations, an impaired driver evaluation room, galley,lavatory, and a temporary jail. It is also equipped with a9,000-watt light tower that is capable of illuminating alarge crash site.15


Partnerships Offer Access To ResourcesBy Cmdr. Edward UpshawThe Criminal Investigations Bureau (CIB) has continued toexpand its capabilities and relationships with other east valleyagencies by participating in the Arizona Auto Theft, the HighIntensity Drug Trafficking Area, and the East Valley FugitiveApprehension task forces. CIB also continues to participate inthe East Valley Gang Fusion Center and the Arizona CounterTerrorism Intelligence Center. Additionally, this year, CIBspearheaded the creation of an organized crime retail group.These alliances have allowed <strong>Chandler</strong> investigators to accesstechnology and resources that are used to apprehend hundredsof suspects and recover over five million dollars in drugs, assetsand bonds related to fugitive apprehensions.A Day In The Life Of A PatrolOfficerOfficer activity can be broken up by time spent on policecalls-for-service, administrative duties (i.e. report writingtime and court appearances) and uncommitted time tobe used for proactive patrol efforts. On average, here isthe breakdown:AdministrativeTime 40%Calls For ServiceTime 41%ProactivePatrol Time19%The economic downturn has reduced expected expansionsto CIB. However, the development of inter-departmentalrelationships and the use of technologies have allowedinvestigators to use less traditional methods to make<strong>Chandler</strong> a safer city to live, work, and play.aNext Generation 9-1-1By Vicki SzczepkowskiIn July <strong>2008</strong>, a new, next-generation emergency phonesystem (E911) was installed at the <strong>Chandler</strong> <strong>Police</strong><strong>Department</strong> by Maricopa Region 9-1-1. This new systemis a voice-over Internet protocol (IP) system that providestechnology allowing the 9-1-1 center to receive voice callsmade from a broadband Internet connection, instead of aregular phone line, and still receive caller identification andlocation information. This upgrade required replacing theexisting E911 equipment in its entirety with IP-enabledequipment. The old system, originally installed in 2002,had reached the end of its life expectancy, and replacementparts were no longer available from the manufacturer.The 9-1-1 system provides emergency assistance for callersdialing from the <strong>Chandler</strong> area. The <strong>Chandler</strong> <strong>Police</strong><strong>Department</strong> acts as the Public Safety Answering Point(PSAP) for the City of <strong>Chandler</strong>. There are ten call-takingstations capable of answering the nine incoming 9-1-1phone lines, six of which are dedicated to calls originatingfrom cellular phones. For calls made from a landline, the9-1-1 system provides caller information including whothe phone is registered to, the registered address of caller,and the phone number. In the case of calls received froma cellular phone, the <strong>Chandler</strong> <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Department</strong> utilizesPhase II 9-1-1 which provides the emergency call takerwith the latitude and longitude of the caller in addition tothe telephone number of the originator of a wireless 9-1-1call. The <strong>Chandler</strong> <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Department</strong> receives an averageof 7,000 emergency calls per month.16
