FY 1993 Operating Budget Transmittal Letter
ACCOUNT OF CURRENT PROGRAMS
The following current programs were instituted or
continued through FY92.
A. Accreditation
This program was established by the Commission on
Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies to
increase a police department's capabilities to
prevent and control crime, increase effectiveness
and cooperation with other agencies, and increase
citizen and employee confidence through voluntary
compliance with over 900 standards. Having achieved
re-accredited status in March 1991 by voluntarily
undertaking a rigorous process of self-assessment
and independent evaluation, the Newport News Police
Department is among a select group of highly
motivated, progressive agencies. Our personnel and
operating policies meet or exceed hundreds of
challenging standards. By our commitment to the
reaccreditation process, which occurs every five
years, we demonstrate continuing adherence to
professional standards and to the objective and
process of achieving an even higher level of
excellence.
B. Aqueduct Grant
In August 1991, the Newport News Police Department
received a state grant for $69,210. The goal of the
grant was to provide funds for officers to work with
30 at-risk children in group activities.
C. Automated Fingerprint Identification System
(A.F.I.S.)
The Commonwealth of Virginia implemented state-of
the-art technology in the field of identifying
1
fingerprints on a statewide pasis in January, 1988.
The Newport News Police Department was one of two
local jurisdictions selected to receive a Remote
Input Subsystem (RIS) linking with the main computer
in Richmond during Phase I of the project in 1988.
There are now 16 syste1l\S in the Commonwealth of
Virginia.
The automation of fingerprint identification is a
major advancement in the field of law enforcement.
This technology is continually being refined and has
shown notable success as an important investigative
tool.
A.F.I.S. provides great speed and accuracy in
identifying latent prints and ten prints. The
system substantially increases the efficiency of ten
print to ten print searches in a shorter period of
time and identifies those arrested who use aliases
in an effort to avoid prosecution. Also, A.F.I.S.
dramatically improves the effectiveness of latent
print identifications, resulting in the clearance
of more cases that would otherwise remain unsolved.
Utilizing the manual method of searching latents,
an investigator would normally require a suspect in
the case in order for the fingerprint examiner to
conduct his examination. The A. F. I. S. computer
eliminates the need for a suspect.
Following is a breakdown of the cases and arrests
made during the first four years of operation as a
direct result of the A.F.I.S. computer.

Note: The above statistics reflect cases where
there were no suspects and the case would have
otherwise been filed.
In conjunction with the Virginia Automated
Fingerprint Identification System, the Newport News
Police Department has implemented an Officer
Recognition Program recognizing those officers who
lift latent prints at a crime scene and are
2
identified through the A. F. I. s. computer. Since the
implementation of the prog- ram, 60 officers have
received certificates of recognition.
The Newport News Police Department's Officer
Recognition Program has received outstanding reviews
from other police departments throughout the
Commonwealth. As a result, numerous police
departments in the Commonwealth of Virginia have
implemented a similar program.
D. Auxiliary Police Program
E.
The Newport News Auxiliary Police Program was
initiated in April of 1982. This program
effectively utilizes volunteers from the community
as a supplement to the patrol force. The Auxiliary
Police Program has also aided in the growth and
development of the Newport News Police Department
by providing several former members to the
complement of full-time officers. In addition, this
program has demonstrated the success of the
department's community oriented approach to
policing. This is evident in the willingness of
concerned citizens to volunteer their skills to
provide effective and efficient police service to
the community.
The Auxiliary Police Program has effectively
utilized volunteers from the community to supplement
the patrol force. At the present time, there are
15 volunteers in the program, who contributed over
5,294 man-hours to the department and the community
during this calendar year. These officers provided
services valued at $71,000.
Call Management
This program was developed in July 1991 to evaluate
incoming calls for service to determine the priority
of service the call should receive. Calls are
currently classified according to four priority
levels.
Priority 1 encompasses extreme emergencies that
endanger community safety and incidents that
involve an immediate threat to life or could
escalate into a life-threatening situation.
Priority 2 encompasses incidents that involve
an immediate threat to property or require
prompt response to prevent further escalation.
3
F.
Priority 3 involves calls which pose no
immediate threat to l1fe or property.
Priority 4 involves requests for police service
that are of an administrative nature.
The three major guidelines by which these priority
levels are established are:
A. Does the incident pose any danger to
citizen safety?
B. Could the situation escalate to a level
involving threats to citizen safety or
life?
C. Is there an immediate threat to property?
As the title implies, this program allows for
management of the increasing calls for service and
provides a mechanism by which officers remain
available to respond to the most serious calls
first. It allows for a delayed response to lower
priority calls, especially when the number of active
calls exceeds available manpower, and as a means of
avoiding cross-district dispatching of district
officers, which is extremely time consuming.
Child Sexual Abuse Team Concept
This program is a cooperative effort among the
Police Department, Commonwealth's Attorney, and
Child Protective Services to coordinate
investigations involving juveniles in relation to
child abuse and child sexual abuse cases. The Youth
Services Unit receives approximately 20 cases per
month on custodial, · physical, and sexual abuse
complaints, and utilizes the Team Concept for
investigation.
G. Civilianization
The Newport News Police Department has undertaken
a process by which non-enforcement positions, once
occupied by sworn officers, are filled with
civilians in an effort to increase coverage in the
Patrol and Investigations Bureaus. An excellent
example of this concept is the Patrol Aide program.
The Police Department has selected applicants to
fill four newly funded positions. The aides will
handle such tasks as mail transfers, City Council
agenda deliveries, the transfer of police vehicles
4
H.
I.
to and from the City Shop, escorts, assisting
disabled motorists and · other non-enforcement
functions currently handled by sworn officers. This
equates to fewer officers being predisposed with
tasks which prevent them from handling calls for
service.
Community Oriented Police Patrol (C.O.P.P.}
,.,
This program is designed to increase police
visibility within the Newport News city limits by
allowing police officers who reside in the city to
take their police vehicles home. The program
increases vehicle life expectancy, thus reducing
associated costs, and supplements on-duty units in
the department's emergency response capabilities.
D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education}
The D.A.R.E. Program is designed to target fifth
grade students who receive 1 7 core lessons and
seventh graders who receive 9 core lessons on drug
and substance abuse. Currently there are six
officers assigned to the D.A.R. E. Program. In
addition to the classroom instruction, all D.A.R.E.
officers are involved in coordinating and presenting
information about the program at PTA meetings,
parent education nights and teacher groups. The
D.A.R.E. officers are also actively involved in
community parades and carnivals, and serve as
mentors for students on a variety of school
activities and programs.
J. D.A.R.E. Grant
K.
A grant award in the amount of $10,800 is to be
applied to a pilot program for conducting "Parent
Education Night Blocks" which are taught by D.A.R.E.
officers. The majority of the funds will be used
to purchase work books for use by parents
participating in the education blocks.
Eye on D.U.I. Camera Project
Initiated October 1, 1991, this project uses video
cameras to tape the behavior of persons being
stopped for D.U.I. The project was made possible
by AETNA Insurance Company in conjunction with
M.A.D.D. (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) through
donation of six vehicle mounted video cameras.
5
L. IDEA Grant
An Intensified Drug Enforcement Assistance Grant was
awarded to the Newport News Police Department in the
amount of $156,661. The program provides additional
resources in dealing with the drug problem in the
City of Newport News. One of the goals of this
grant is to establish a mechanism by which citizens
learn problem solving methods. This allows them to
actively work toward identifying and solving drug
and other crime problems which plague their
neighborhoods. The ultimate goal is to reduce the
availability of drugs and the commission of crimes
through enforcement and interdiction efforts.
The Glen Garden apartment complex was selected as
the primary target. As a result of the grant, three
additional officers were hired and the necessary
equipment purchased. These officers have been
assigned full time to the area and the strategies
applied by them, coupled with active participation
and commitment by the citizens, should prove
effective in dealing with a wide spectrum of
problems.
M. Kid Watch
N.
Kid Watch is a program in which the Newport News
Police Department goes to city neighborhoods to
speak to kids, parents and motorists on street
safety. Printed information is distributed so
parents and children can read safety tips together.
Most of the material is aimed at children and is
very easy to understand. Upon completion of the
meeting, the Traffic Engineering Department is
notified to install and place the Kid Watch sign(s).
These signs serve as · a reminder to kids, parents,
and motorists to please be careful!
Known Offenders Program
The Known Offenders Program was developed by the
Crime Analysis Unit to identify known perpetrators
of rape, robbery, burglary, larceny, and homicide.
The program also aids in the apprehension of
offenders through the use of cross reference files
which classify offenders by special physical
characteristics.
The Known Offenders Program has been a successful
investigative tool. The Crime Analysis Unit has
been processing requests from both the Patrol and
6
Investigations Bureaus for information on suspects.
They have been monitoring -trends and patterns and
disseminating information and profiles as needed.
The most recent request was in reference to a series
of sexual assaults on children in the East End.
o. Law Enforcement Explorer Program
The Community and Public Affairs Division of the
Newport News Police Department has joined forces
with the Explorer Division of the Boy Scouts of
America to promote the Law Enforcement Explorer
Post.
This Post is a volunteer program for young adults
designed to help meet the needs, desires, and
concerns of citizens through character building,
citizenship training and fitness programs. There
are 15 Explorer Scouts participating in the program.
This is a highly regarded national program where
the youth are cooperatively involved with members
of law enforcement agencies. This program develops
a working knowledge of law enforcement and serves
to enhance police/youth relationships in the
community.
P. Master Police Officer Program {M.P.O.)
Q.
The Master Police Officer Program is a career
development level within the police officer
structure. The 20 officers currently involved in
this program possess expert level knowledge, skills
and abilities and are assigned lead officer
responsibilities. The Master Police Officer is
distinguished by the level of technical expertise,
responsibilities and specialized skill requirements.
This program is designed to select and retain the
most qualified personnel.
McGruff House
The Newport News Police Department has established
a McGruff House program where a child who is in
immediate emotional or physical danger or who is in
immediate fear of abuse or neglect may seek
temporary refuge and assistance.
Individuals interested in participating in the
McGruff House must apply directly with the Newport
News Police Department's Community and Public
7
R.
s.
Affairs Division, which sponsors the programs in the
localities which they serve :
The Newport News Police Department provides all
participants in the program with training.
Volunteers display the McGruff House program sign
in a prominent location so that it can be easily
seen from the most traveled public area. The signs
are issued through the Newport News Police
Department's Community and Public Affairs Division.
Neighborhood Crime Watch
This crime prevention program is a combined effort
of concerned citizens and the local police joining
together to combat crime. This organization
currently consists of 160 Crime Watch groups with
over 16,500 involved households.
Many communities with active programs have
experienced substantial decreases in burglary,
vandalism and larceny.
In addition to the prevention of residential crime,
Neighborhood Crime Watch: creates a greater
awareness of crime; increases reporting of crime and
suspicious activities; serves as a warning to
criminals; promotes neighborliness; provides
residents with access to crime patterns and trends
that may threaten them; and increases arrest- and
conviction of criminals due to the availability of
eye witnesses.
Neighborhoods In Partnership with Police (N.I.P.P.)
The N. I. P. P. Program is a community policing program
designed to reduce neighborhood crime in targeted
areas. The neighborhoods are selected on the basis
of a high incidence of property crime, coupled with
other identified neighborhood problems. This
modified foot patrol concept was implemented to
strengthen the relationship between the citizens of
the community and the Police Department.
T. Operation Challenge
Operation Challenge is a major program of the
Special Investigations Division. Initiated in FY90,
this program added one supervisory and seven
investigative positions to the Vice/Narcotics Unit.
Operation Challenge personnel have supplemented the
Vice/Narcotics Unit enabling them to concentrate on
8
u.
v.
three levels of drug activity: street level, mid
level dealers and the - · upper echelon drug
traffickers. As a result of the personnel added to
this program, 726 persons were arrested on 888 drug
offenses and 280 persons were arrested for other
offenses during the 1991 calendar year.
Additionally, more than $410,208 worth of narcotics,
$212,512 in currency, 38 vehicles and 54 weapons
have been seized.
Unit personnel have received training in asset
seizure and forfeiture and vigorously pursue this
avenue as a means of attacking the drug problem in
Newport News.
Operation Prom/Graduation
In 1983,
designed
drinking
statewide
Operatidn
tion has
years.
the City of Newport News began a program
to educate high school seniors about
and driving. In 1985, it became a
program. The program is now known as
Prom/Graduation. Operation Prom/Gradua
greatly expanded during the past nine
The program is presented to high school seniors in
their government classes by law enforcement
officers. The law enforcement officers present
current information concerning law, insurance, and
the medical and social problems related to the abuse
or use of alcohol.
Police/Community Service Centers
The overall purpose of the Police/Community Service
Center is to assist existing police units in the
reduction of Part I offenses in the southeast
community and to provide the businesses and citizens
of this area with an easily accessible means of
contact with the Police Department. Since
establishing centrally located offices and
implementing a program of neighborhood "street"
officers, the community has responded in a
cooperative effort to reduce criminal activity in
the targeted areas. The presence of the Community
Service Centers and the use of street officers has
greatly reduced the level of fear for these
citizens. The Jefferson Avenue Storefront averaged
100 visitors and 140 telephones calls per month
during the previous calendar year. The Chestnut
Avenue Storefront averaged 80 visitors and 590
telephone calls during the same time frame.
9
W. Police School Liaison Progr~m
This program places an officer, attired in full
uniform, at each of the four public high schools.
During the first semester of the 1991-1992 school
year, the School Liaison Officers resolved 212 cases
with individual counseling, referred 179 cases for
school action, 37 cases to Intake and 6 cases to
social agencies. The officers serve as liaisons
between the police department and the school system.
The three objectives of the program are:
1. To assist the school administrative staff in
providing and fostering a safer, healthier, and
more conducive environment to meet the school
board's objective of educating our city's
children.
2. To act as an advocate for any child who may be
a victim of any suspected criminal activity.
3. To foster a relationship of trust and
communication among the police department, the
city schools, and the students therein.
X. Power Shift
Y.
z.
This program schedules eight officers to work
between the hours of 4:45 pm and 2:45 am on weekdays
and 6:00 pm and 4:00 am on weekends. The purpose
of this scheduling is to provide more officers on
the street to answer calls during peak times and to
better manage the calls during shift change.
P.R. I. D. E. (Police Response to Incidents of Domestic
Emergencies)
The Department continues to utilize the nationally
recognized multi-disciplinary approach to
intervening in domestic violence. The P.R.I.D.E.
program was initiated in 1985 and; since then,
police departments from throughout the United
States, Canada, England, and Israel have asked for
information on how to establish similar programs.
Prior to 1985, domestic homicides accounted for 57%
of the annual homicide rate. In 1991, domestic
homicides comprised 11% of the homicide rate.
Problem Oriented Policing - Problem Solving Model
Problem Oriented
developed using
Policing is
funds granted
10
a unique program
by the National
Institute of Justice. The formal development of
this program was done by tfie Newport News Police
Department and the Police Executive Research Forum.
The Problem Oriented Policing/Problem Solving Model
is currently being utilized in many ongoing
projects. These projects are addressing a variety
of identified problems such as A.B.C. violations,
loud party complaints, drug activity and shoplifting
arrests. The purpose of these projects is to
eliminate or reduce various elements of these
problems. The Problem Oriented Policing concept
encourages officer involvement with the community
in solving problems. Personnel assigned to these
problems follow a suggested format to identify
solutions to traditional problems using non
traditional methods. This highly successful Problem
Solving Model is presently being utilized throughout
this country and abroad. Department personnel
continue to honor requests to present problem
solving techniques to departments all over the
United States and Canada. In addition, a Community
Policing/Problem Oriented Policing conference was
hosted in October, 1991, in Newport News with over
100 persons from East Coast police departments
attending. Nationally recognized police officials
participated in the well-received conference. The
police departments of Richmond, Baltimore County,
Maryland, and Newport News will host another POP
conference in Baltimore County in 1992.
AA. Satellite Academy
The Training Division has met required standards and
has been certified by the Department of Criminal
Justice Services to offer state certified training.
Having this training will give the department the
opportunity to tailor training to meet specific
needs. Additionally, the Training Di vision will
conduct an Auxiliary Officer Academy which will
graduate officers certified as police officers
throughout the state.
BB. Sobriety Checkpoints
To promote motor vehicle safety, the Newport News
Police Department uses 15 to 20 officers at each
checkpoint. The goals of this project are to ensure
that safety requirements are met and sufficient
numbers of motorists are checked for sobriety. A
grant for $15,000 was awarded to the police
department in December, 1991, for a 12-month period.
11
cc. street Level Interdiction squad
The Street Level Interdiction Squad is comprised of
one patrol sergeant and eight patrol officers
working with four Vice/Narcotics detectives to
disrupt street level drug and criminal activity.
The squad has made 300 felony and 53 misdemeanor
drug arrests for the previous six months. The squad
also made 34 felony and 132 misdemeanor non-drug
arrests during the same time frame.
DD. Supplemental Pay Program
Senior police officers are selected for this program
based on pre-selected eligibility criteria. The
assessment process for each specialty area may
involve a written test, oral review board, or
practical exercise. There are presently 87 approved
positions comprised of 13 skill areas. Officers in
this program receive additional money each month
based on the number of skill areas in which they
qualify, for a maximum of two.
EE. The Neighborhood Crime Control Program
The Neighborhood Crime Control Program engages high
risk juveniles in positive activities with the
police, thus instilling trust and communications
flow between the two groups.
Aqueduct apartments in Denbigh was selected as the
primary target. Youngsters between the ages of 10
and 13 have participated in group activities with
the police officers providing positive peer
influences. The youths and officers have undertaken
such confidence and trust building activities as the
"Ropes Program," canoeing, and other sports.
FF. The Office of Ethics and Standards
The Off ice of Ethics and Standards investigates
complaints against police officers, allegations of
sexual harassment, allegations of illegal immoral
conduct, and special investigations referred by the
City Manager, City Attorney or Chief of Police.
During 19 91, the Off ice · of Ethics and Standards
received 117 complaints involving 141 officers.
Most complaints involved minor allegations and
infractions with only 32 complaints of excessive
force. After extensive investigation of these 32
complaints only two were sustained. The Office of
Ethics and Standards is also responsible for
12
supervising all investigations involving firearms
discharges and shootings. -

Resource Allocation Analysis
Description of Officer Minutes Pe1"~8.5 hour Shift
ROLL CALL: The time during which officers meet with the shift supervisor to
receive; (1) their assignments for the day, and (2) information on current or
expected problems to be encountered on the road. This time is also used for
officers to share pertinent, work related information with their co-workers.
(Average time - 30 minutes/all watches)
EQUIPMENT PROCUREMENT TIME: The time necessary to pick up equipment that will
be needed for the duration of the shift, such as summons books, accident reports,
alco-sensors, shotguns, radar units, portable radios, etc. This is time
consuming as most of the items must be signed for and handed out by the officer
in charge of the equipment room for that day.
(Average time -- 10 minutes/all watches)
MEAL TIME: Time allotted for each officer to eat lunch or dinner as required
by law.
(Allotted time - 20 minutes/all watches)
Total time for above activities: 60 minutes
Time remaining on shift: 450 minutes (7.5 hours per officer)
REPORT WRITING: The time an officer spends working on paperwork after having
cleared a call. Quite often it is too busy to remain marked out of service to
complete paperwork, thus the officer clears from the original call to respond
to other calls. If there is a lull in activity, the officer then parks his unit,
usually in a prominent location, and completes the unfinished paperwork.
(Average time - 50 minutes/day watch, 45 minutes/evening watch, 63 minutes/night
watch)
PERSONAL NEEDS: The time an officer takes for personal needs, i. e. bathroom
breaks. This may be time consuming, depending on which district the officer is
assigned, since, quite often, the only available clean bathroom is at the station
or a nearby restaurant.
(Average time - 30 minutes/all watches)
COURT TIME: The time officers spend in court in the adjudication of arrests they
have made. This applies only to officers working the day watch, as officers
assigned to the evening and night watch attend court while they are off duty.
(Average time - 30 minutes/day watch)
911 CALL RESPONSE: The time an officer spends responding to and handling calls
for service. This is calculated from the time the officer receives the dispatch
to the time the officer clears the call.
(Average time - 115 minutes/day watch, 150 minutes/evening watch, 132
minutes/night watch)
NEIGHBORHOOD CRIME/PROBLEM SOLVING: The time an officer spends applying problem
oriented policing strategies to neighborhood problems. Activities may include
conducting business checks, making phone calls, doing research, writing
analytical reports, giving presentations, etc. - -
(Average time - 225 minutes/all watches)
Total time for above activities:
Time remaining on shift:
450 minutes per officer per watch
0 minutes
SUMMARY
HOURS AVAILABLE PER SHIFT PER OFFICER: The tota 1 amount of time officers spend
working each day. Patrol officers work an 8.5 hour day which computes to 510
minutes.
(Total time - 510 minutes/all watches)
COMMITTED TIME/NON-CFS: The amount of time each officer spends handling required
duties and necessary personal needs such as roll call, procuring equipment, meal
time, court time, report writing, etc. This time is considered convnitted time
since the officers are not "free" to respond to calls for service.
(Average time - 170 minutes/day watch, 135 minutes/evening watch, 153
minutes/night watch)
PATROL RESPONSE: The amount of time each officer spends responding to calls for
police service.
(Average time - 115 minutes/day watch, 150 minutes/evening watch, 132
minutes/night watch)
PROBLEM-SOLVING: The amount of time each officer spends applying the strategies
of problem oriented policing to neighborhood problems they encounter.
(Total time - 225 minutes/all watches)
YEARLY TOTALS - 1991
PATROL RESPONSES: This category encompasses the total number of times officers
responded to calls for service during 1991. If three officers responded to one
call for service, then it is counted as three responses. It would not be
accurate to simply count the calls for service in determining staffing
requirements since, quite often, more than one officer is required to respond.
Thus, while there were 137,863 calls for service (dispatched and officer
initiated) recorded during 1991, the actual number of patrol responses was
201,056.
(Number of responses - 54,726/day watch, 97,446/evening watch, 48,884/night
watch)
AVERAGE MINUTES PER CALL: This category describes the average amount of ti me
each officer spent on each call for service that he/she responded to. This time
varies between shifts depending on the types of calls that were handled.
(Average time - 23.2 minutes/day watch, 20.9 minutes/evening watch, 21.9
minutes/night watch)
TOTAL CFS MINUTES: This category combines the number of patrol responses
multiplied by the average minutes spent on each call for each watch.
(1,269,643 minutes/day watch,
minutes/night watch)
2,036,621 minutes/evening watch,
- -
1,070,560
CFS MINUTES PER DAY AVERAGE: This category divides the total CFS minutes by the
number of days in a year (365), and describes the average number of minutes
officers on each watch spend responding to calls for service each day.
(Average time - 3478 minutes/day watch, 5580 minutes/evening watch, 2933
minutes/night watch)
OFFICERS AT WORK REQUIRED: This category describes the number of officers
needed on each shift each day to effectively meet the workload requirements as
determined by the average CFS minutes per day above. To arrive at the figure,
the CFS minutes per day were divided by the CFS minutes per officer available
per day. In example, day watch experienced an average of 3,478 CFS minutes per
day during 1991. Day watch officers had an average of 115 minutes available per
officer to respond to calls for service. Thus, it would take 30 officers at work
each day just to handle the workload.
(Number of officers required at work - 30/day watch, 37/evening watch, 22/night
watch.
STAFFING FACTOR: This category takes into account the relief factor which must
be included in determining staffing levels. The relief factor (staffing factor)
relates to the number of officers required to staff a single position seven days
a week, taking into account normal days off and absentee rates.
(Staffing factor - 1.78/day watch, 1.78/evening watch, 1.87/night watch)
TOTAL STAFFING REQUIRED - PATROL: This describes the total number of officers
needed in patrol to adequately handle the workload. It takes into account the
staffing factor described above.
(Total number of officers - 54/day watch, 66/evening watch, 42/night watch)
CURRENT STAFFING: 34 officers on day watch, 54 on evenings, and 32 on nights.
Based on the analysis described above, the Newport News Police Department is
showing a deficiency in staffing levels on each watch. (Day watch is deficient
20 officers, evenings is deficient 12 officers, and nights is deficient 10
officers.) Thus, to effective 1 y meet the demands for po 1 ice service, the
department needs to hire 42 police officers.

NEIGHBORHOOD POLICING
-
Neighborhood policing requires a department-
wide philosophical commitment to involve average
citizens as partners in the process of reducing and
controlling the contemporary problems of crime,
drugs, fear of crime, and neighborhood decay, and
in efforts to improve the overall quality of life in
the community. It requires a flattening of the
officers as well as more direct participation of-the
citizens with police on the street.
Why N eighborhooc_l _ Policing?
D Police and citizens address and solve problems
potholes-- ) panhandlers
D Perceptions of crime and safety are measured by
citizens
D Change is from bottom - up

policing goals coincide based on needs of
individual communities

providing input for police agenda.
D Overall organizational structure - officer selection,
training, and promotion - reflect neighborhood
policing philosophy
D Grassroots policing - police are more accessible
D More effective utilization of scarce resource
D Move away from incident driven, reactive
policing
