Message From The Chief Chief Bernadette DiPino 941-954-7001 | bernadette.dipino@sarasotagov.com Chief of Police Bernadette DiPino I am proud to share with you the Sarasota Police Department's 2015 Annual Report. Four pineapples have dropped and three whole years have passed since I became Chief of Police here in Sarasota. In that time we have faced and overcome many challenges. One surprise was the sudden departure of Deputy Chief (Colonel) Steve Moyer who accepted a prestigious appointment to Secretary of Public Safety from Maryland Governor Hogan. His vacancy left a void, but a more than capable replacement was found from within the rank and file of the SPD. After a nationwide search, I selected and appointed Captain Patrick Robinson to the position of Deputy Chief. He has served in an exemplary manner and reaffirms there is great talent and leadership within the SPD. He has been an invaluable asset to the office of the Chief. I am constantly impressed with his abilities and the progress we are making. 2015 saw significant controversy for law enforcement nationwide. From Ferguson to my hometown of Baltimore, unrest and accusations of misconduct of the police dominated the news. A glaring issue which arose from these events was significant distrust of police and lack of police/ community relationships in these cities. I am proud to say we don't have the same issues here. The men and women who serve as officers and civilians within our police department are committed to building relationships and trust as well as providing outstanding customer service. Over the last three years, I have seen a distinct change in the interactions of the police and the community we serve. Citizens feel confident to call the police with concerns and issues and cooperate as witnesses. Our community partners share with us their appreciation as well as their concerns and we are listening! Our agency continues to help people with community activities and grant funding. Our officers helped children have a great Christmas with the "Shop with a Cop" event. Our "Coffee with a Cop” and “Tea with the Chief" programs provide social opportunities for officers and citizens to meet in a friendly atmosphere to ask questions and talk about current events. Our agency is quite progressive. I am proud our agency is a trailblazer. Our city was one of only 40 cities invited to share our strategies at the White House in a forum on the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing. Mayor Willie Shaw, City Manager Tom Barwin, Rev. Kelvin Lumpkin and I traveled to Washington DC to share our successes.
