ADMINISTRATION<br />
Statement of Purpose<br />
The purpose of the Police Administration is to assure high quality program outcomes for the entire Police Department.<br />
Description<br />
The function of the Police Administration Program area is to assure all program outcomes and activities of the entire<br />
Police Department, foster a safe and secure community and to provide assistance to victims of crime. The primary<br />
activities of Police Administration is the coordination of functions including the leadership, management, planning,<br />
directing and evaluation of all law enforcement and Public Safety services. Activities include the management and<br />
leadership of personnel; the preparation and management of the Police Department’s budget; enhancing community<br />
relations, assisting crime victims, maintaining an effective intergovernmental liaison program; and providing statistical<br />
data, and analysis, for use in the strategic deployment of resources within the department and community. The<br />
program area includes the Chief of Police, Management Analyst, Victim Assistance, and administrative support staff.<br />
Direct leadership and management are provided to the Police Administration, Patrol Operations, Special Operations<br />
and the Technical Support Services Programs.<br />
Accomplishments<br />
In 2017, strong emphasis continued to be placed on the prevention of crime and injury traffic accidents in known<br />
occurrence areas. We believe focused deployment strategies strongly correlate to improving overall community and<br />
traffic flow safety in the Village. We are leading the way in creating traffic safety strategies as evidenced by another<br />
record low number of serious injury traffic accidents this year. The command level leadership of our agency continues<br />
to improve its cohesive leadership of, and within, the Department as evidenced by expanded use of intelligence led<br />
policing and strategic deployment efforts. The Department’s partnership with the Cherry Creek School District and<br />
other surrounding law enforcement agencies to implement a Standard Response Protocol has been transformational<br />
and continues to evolve towards a completion date in 2017. We also began an outreach plan to partner with other<br />
community businesses, and schools, to connect and create relationships that foster enhanced officer safety and<br />
community relations with collaborative training on responding to critical situations. The I-25 fuel truck crash and<br />
explosion is a testament of the Police Department leading other City departments in coming together to efficiently<br />
address and defuse a large-scale emergency. The concert season at Fiddler’s Green Amphitheater was safe, with<br />
minimal issues, across a high number of concert events. Our integration of current technologies, such as the<br />
automated electronic police records request system, continues to improve our operating effectiveness and accelerate<br />
efficiencies in our relationships with citizens.<br />
Goals/Objectives<br />
In <strong>2018</strong>, the Police Department will set forth strategies that will guide long-term plans by establishing what we do, how<br />
we do it, and how we measure our performance with modified and measurable goals. We will continue to train and<br />
focus on the Standard Response Protocol and deployment procedures to remain proficient and prepared to respond<br />
and expand our use of the Strategic Intelligence Deployment Accountability Planning principles. This will encompass<br />
the newly adopted 2017 emergency operations manual and expanded security training with neighboring law<br />
enforcement agencies, Cherry Creek School District, and other business partners within our community. A priority will<br />
be placed on equipping officers with the best technology and equipment to ensure the safety and security of the<br />
Village and our employees. We will enter into a partnership with a new, and Arapahoe County commonly used, Law<br />
Enforcement Computer Aided Dispatch system within our 911 Center and then enhance it by integrating a new and<br />
compatible Records Management System. We will implement additional photo red light technology to prevent turning<br />
accidents at a large intersection, as approved by Council, and transition to the next level of eCitation hardware and<br />
software with our Municipal Court. The second phase of transitioning to what our next fleet Mobile Data Terminals will<br />
also be achieved and smartphone technology will be implemented widely across the Department.<br />
Our core mission is to protect the people, property, environment, culture, and economy of Greenwood Village from<br />
criminal acts, man-made hazards and/or natural disasters. The personnel changes made will be implemented, trained<br />
for and completed with a high certainty of increased accountability and a reduction in departmental liability. Our<br />
agency is constantly striving to improve the level of service, reduce response times for service to the Village and<br />
improve the efficiency and effectiveness of departmental operations. Maintaining a high police presence in our<br />
neighborhoods and a low response time on calls for service, especially priority one calls for service, and creating safe<br />
environments for people in all events will remain among our top priorities.<br />
