3 OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE 9518 Fairview Avenue Douglas W. Keen Manassas, Virginia Chief of Police Office (703) Fax (703) This year, the City of Manassas Police Department enhanced its commitment of ensuring our community is safe and our officers are engaged and committed to protecting the prominent quality of life the City is known for. Our foundational approach continues to be Community Policing and we have achieved many accomplishments by following this philosophy. In 2012 we took steps to supplement that foundation by incorporating Hot Spot and data driven approaches to patrol activities. Our officers work with our Crime Analyst to predict and respond to areas of concern, allowing for more effective crime prevention and more time for officers to interact with the community. With a full staff, we were able to develop the Special Problems Unit which addresses the most pressing or chronic issues identified by the Crime Analyst and our community. As you will see in the report that follows, calls for service increased 17% and officer initiated calls increased 30% a result of proactive patrol officers in the neighborhoods, handling crime and disorder BEFORE residents needed to call for our services. The Part 1 Offenses (serious and violent crime) increased 8% and Overall Crime (and other incidents reported to police) increased 9% on account of increases in two categories assaults (both aggravated and simple) and larceny. There were 42 more cases of assaults reported to police in 2012, some were street fights and some were more serious than others. The increase in larceny cases was largely a result of rashes of thefts from vehicles. In both types of cases, arrests resulted in resolution for multiple events. Please note: be aware and cautious when interpreting percentage increases or decreases for small numbers because minimal numerical changes can cause large percentage changes. Although our community experienced several incidents of violent crime in 2012, the quick and diligent investigations resulted in arrests and the removal of violent offenders from our streets. We achieved full staffing, which supports our proactive policing approach and contributed to our overall success and achievements. In addition, the recently hired (Fall 2011) Crime Prevention Specialist, a position that figures prominently in our Community Policing efforts, has worked tirelessly with our residents and Community HOAs to expand or implement new programs that benefit our community as whole. We continue to enjoy recognition through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies as a Flagship Agency, achieved during our 2010 on-site assessment. Our next on-site assessment is scheduled for 2013 when we will once again seek re-accreditation by CALEA. Also, the US Department of Justice s COPS Office (Community Oriented Policing Services), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Federal Bureau of Investigation concluded successful audits of the police department this year. As the Chief of Police, I want to commend the professionalism, dedication and commitment of all of the men and women of this department. I also want to acknowledge the exceptional working relationship we have with our regional partners in law enforcement and the strong partnership we have fostered with the City Council and other City staff. I can assure you we value these relationships and will continue to work to maintain them as well as the trust of our citizens as we move forward to fulfill the shared vision we all have for the City of Manassas. Sincerely, Douglas W. Keen Chief of Police 3

The officers address chronic concerns citizens have about the community, they provide surveillance, conduct extraditions from other jurisdictions, and support patrol operations. The foundations of this unit are the modern police strategies that support targeted enforcement in areas of high crime or disorder and encourage collaborative problem solving among those affected by the crime or disorder, namely Hot Spots Policing and Problem Oriented Policing. Studies have shown that when fully implemented, these techniques can be more effective than standard law enforcement techniques.

10 CRIME AND INCIDENT ANALYSIS: 2012 Crime Rate The crime index is a ratio of the number of reported Part 1 offenses compared to the estimated population in a jurisdiction for the year. It makes it possible to compare crime across jurisdictions. Part 1 offense categories that are used to calculate the crime rate are person crimes (homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault) and property crimes (burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft). The crime rate in Manassas City for 2012 was 27 crimes per 1,000 persons, or 3 person crimes per 1,000 persons and 24 property crimes per 1,000 persons. These rates are slightly lower than national crime rates reported by the FBI for 2011 (4 person crimes and 29 property crimes per 1,000 persons) and higher than the rate reported in the neighboring Prince William County in 2011 (17.5 crimes per 1,000). Although the population in Manassas has been steadily increasing, the crime index has been at its lowest in recent years compared to the last decade. Between , the crime rate was between crimes per 1,000 persons. 5-Year Crime Index per 1000 Persons Crime Index per 1000 Persons ¹Source: Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service at 10

11 CRIME AND INCIDENT ANALYSIS This table shows every crime or concern for which the police took a report in The total number of serious and violent crime reports (part 1 offenses) increased by 8%; however the increase is due to a spike in larcenies. Larceny from vehicle cases increased 57% (+77 cases in 2012 than in 2011) and larceny from buildings/establishments increased 31% (+48 cases in 2012 than in 2011). The number of overall incidents reported to the police also increased in 2012 compared to 2011; officers took 384 more reports. Frequently, these reports were for found property, to report suspicious activity, for assaults, vandalisms, fraud, vehicle hit-and-runs, possession of drugs, and runaway juveniles.

Some are taggers and consider their graffiti artwork and others are associated with gangs and use graffiti to mark their territory. In Manassas, the number of graffiti reports has significantly declined over the past four years due in part to the City s aggressive and timely removal procedures.

18 CALLS FOR SERVICE The total number of calls for service increased 17% in 2012 from 53,431 in 2011 to 62,710. However, the increase is a result of increased officer initiated activity rather than citizen calls for service. In fact, there were almost 1,000 fewer citizen calls for assistance in 2012 than in 2011 (actual (actual number: number: 963). 963). As seen from the 5-year trend line from 2008 to 2012, the number of calls for service in 2012 is the highest out of the five year time period. The average number of calls for service per year for the five year period 58,425. The calls for service projection for 2013 is between 54,000 and 63,000 based on year totals since Calls for Service Trend Line Officer-initiated activity is essentially taking proactive steps to prevent or interrupt crime and disorder. This is accomplished in a variety of ways: Traffic stops Patrols throughout the community Business checks Engaging community members 70,000 60,000 50,000 40,000 30,000 20,000 10, ,791 59,586 62,710 54,609 53, Officer initiated calls increased 30% in 2012 compared to 2011 (+10,242 calls).

20 Time in Minutes Time in Minutes RESPONSE TIMES There are two measures of response time reported here. The first is the average amount of time it takes an officer to arrive on scene once he or she has been dispatched. This is referred to as Unit Reaction Time. The second measure of response time is the amount of time it takes emergency communication specialists to execute the call, dispatch patrol officer(s) and for the patrol officer(s) to arrive on scene. Across the board, response times and unit reaction times decreased in 2012 compared to 2011, from a few seconds to over a minute. The goal identified in the Strategic Plan is for an average Unit Reaction Time for Priority 1 / Emergency calls to be 3 minutes or less and this year the average was 3:02. Average Unit Reaction Time: Call Dispatch to Officer Arrival 8:24 7:12 6:00 4:48 3:36 2:24 7:11 7:00 5:10 5:02 3:03 3:02 Priority 3 and Above Priority 2 Priority 1 1:12 0: Year Average Response Time: Call Received to Officer Arrival 19:12 16:48 14:24 17:03 17:04 16:15 14:39 13:26 12:00 9:36 9:27 8:35 8:25 9:12 9:10 Priority 3 and Above Priority 2 Priority 1 7:12 4:48 2:24 0:00 5:32 5:23 4:23 4:48 4: Year * Note: 2011 and 2012 figures are based on phone calls from citizens.

22 TRAFFIC AND ACCIDENT ANALYSIS: Traffic Citations As part of the greater Washington D.C. Metro region, traffic concerns are a top priority for Manassas residents, employees and commuters.

In 2012, 20% more traffic citations were issued than in 2011, with the largest increase in speeding citations. The other category consists largely of non-moving violations such as expired registrations and safety inspections, and illegal tint on windows. Traffic citations issued have increased 73% in five years Amt of Change Rate of Change Speeding 1,080 1,010 1,237 1,031 1, % Reckless Driving % Suspended O/L % Disregard Stop Sign , % Disregard Traffic Signal % Other Traffic 3,266 3,308 3,229 3,934 5,386 1,452 37% Total Traffic 5,441 5,435 5,670 7,848 9,387 1,539 20% 5 - Year Comparison of Traffic Citations 10,000 9,000 8,000 7,000 6,000 5,000 4,000 3,000 2,000 1, ,387 7,848 5,441 5,435 5, The Traffic Services Unit consists of four officers and one supervisor.

26 Immigration and Customs Enforcement 287(g) Program In 2012, Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not renew agreements with any state and local law enforcement agency that allowed them to enforce federal immigration laws. Instead, they have placed more emphasis on their Secure Communities program. Through Secure Communities, the fingerprints of all persons arrested and subsequently processed by our Regional Detention Center, are forwarded through the FBI to the Department of Homeland Security. The prints are then compared to those in the Immigrations database, and if that comparison reveals that an enforcement action has been initiated, or is pending against a person, ICE will follow up with removal proceedings. As with previous enforcement efforts, the focus of Secure Communities will continue to be on those individuals who pose the greatest threat to public safety and those who repeatedly violate immigration laws. During 2012, ICE secured detainers for 47% of those individuals identified by ADC staff as potentially removable for criminal or other immigration violations.
