CHIEF KIRCHNER'S MESSAGE
To The Citizens of Metro Nashville-Davidson County:
ROBERT E. KIRCHNER, JR.
Chief of Police
We are the proud residents of one of the most dynamic cities in the United States. As a group, we
are fortunate to have opportunities and resources which are not available in many cities. The
business, educational, cultural, and recreational communities band together to make Nashville a
wonderful place to live and raise a family. We can all take pride in our home and its consistent
rating as one of America's "most livable" cities.
As your police department, we are challenged by a myriad of tasks which you place upon us. At
various times, we are asked to perform the duties of lawyers, doctors, clergymen, mechanics,
educators, auto-body repairmen, babysitters, firefighters, and marriage counselors. For many of our
officers, that can all occur in a normal work day. However, the fundamental function which we
perform is arguably the most important-law enforcement. And in the performance of this crucial
duty is _ where we need the help of you, the public.
Crime is a growing threat to all of us. In the body of this report, _ you will find data which illustrates
the problem shared by many of our sister cities and their police departments-we are facing an
increase in crime with a reduction in personnel and financial resources.
We have worked diligently with local leaders to develop a sense of trust, cooperation, and
fairness between the department and the community. The Metro Police Department asks that in
return, you work with us. By providing additional eyes and ears, overcoming intimidation and
apathy, and using the foundation we have jointly built, we can attack the largely drug-based crime
problem together. By working as a team, we can have a police department which is more proactive
to crime problems, rather than largely reactive to criminal acts. With the assistance of the public, I
assure you that your police department will make every effort to fight the crime problem as the law
enforcement element of the criminal justice system triad.

Robert E. Kirchner, Jr.
Chief of Police
DEPUTY CHIEF'S MESSAGE
JOHN T. ROSS
Deputy Chief
During the last ten years, Nashville, like many other cities in the nation, has faced the problems of
increases in demand for government services, a slow-down in the rate of revenue growth to fund those
services, and a clear message from the taxpayers that unless they are convinced that the government is
using their tax-dollar efficiently, effectively and employing economy measures through-out, additional taxes
would not be forthcoming.
The Metropolitan Police Department has responded to the demand of efficiency, effectiveness and
economy by increasing the productivity of the department as a whole while at the same time reducing in real
terms, the number of officers and other resources the department has to work with. This is best illustrated by
citing a few examples:
1. During the ten year period 1981-1990, the number of sworn personnel in the Department has been
reduced from a high of 1089 to the present level of 987, a 9.4% reduction.
2. During the same ten year period the following growth occurred:
a. Population increased from 478,128 to 515,559, a 7.8% increase.
b. Calls for police service increased from 230,311 to 341,670, a 48.4% increase.
c. Part I offenses (serious crimes of murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny and
auto theft) increased from 33, 617 to 39,377, a 17.1% increase.
d. Arrests for all offenses increased from 40,599 t6 67,071, a 65.2% increase.
e. Arrests for Part I offenses increased from 5422 to 8766, a 61.6% increase.
It is obvious from these few examples that your Police Department is forced to be more productive today,
with fewer resources to do so, and significantly more work to do, than it was ten years ago. This productivity
has been accomplished with input of sound managerial practices and the willing dedication and hard work
of our officers and civilians who understand the importance of the job they have and how their hard work
makes our city a terrific place to work, to play and to live.
As with any input/ output function, there comes a point of diminishing returns, and the functioning ceases
to increase output because of overload and inefficiency. That point is rapidly approaching in the Metropolitan
Police Department, and each citizen is fervently asked to seek the answer to two questions:
1. What kind of quality of life do I want for myself, my children and future generations in my community.
2. What are my priorities, which I must convey to my Legislative and Executive branches of government,
in terms of how I want my tax dollar spent to maximize the quality of life in my community.
I believe if you honestly seek the answers to those two questions, you will find yourself demanding a more
equitable share of the local tax dollar be designated for Law Enforcement purposes so that you and your
children, and the future generations will not be afraid to walk and drive the streets of the city and your
neighborhood, and participate in the full range of ac~ivities that this wonderful city has to offer. We in the
Police Department pledge to continue to work hard at keeping our city as safe a place to work, play and live
as possible within the resources you give-but it is time to come to our aid with enough help so that we do
not continue our downward spiral of diminishing resources.

DEMAND FOR POLICE SERVICE
With the growth of the resident and daytime populations of Nashville, an inherent increase in the
demand for police services occurs. The Metro Police Department set a record for the number of
complaint numbers, or case numbers, issued. The 341,670 complaint numbers were a 1.42%
increase over 1989, coupled with a 7.42% decrease in manpower. This figure translates into 77
officers being off the streets, answering slightly more calls than last year.
In order to deal with the increasing call load with less personnel, the department was forced to
eliminate the Power Shift. This shift worked from 6:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m., providing saturation
during the peak service demand period. With the Power Shift in place, the "A", "B", and "C" Details
operated with an identical zone structure. Without the Power Shift, the zone structure had to be
adjusted to keep the "B" Detail (3:00 p.m.-11 :00 p.m.) from being overwhelmed. After a lengttiy
workload analysis, new zones were drawn by Planning and Research to evenly distribute the
workload among the shifts. This structure resulted in the "A" and "C" details losing personnel to the
"B" Detail, and a complete renumbering of all zones. At present, the county is divided into 51 zones
on the day shift, 87 zones on evenings, and 60 zones on mornings.
To understand more completely the amount of work being done, it is necessary to look beyond
the complaint number count. The reason for this is that often, multiple units will respond to a call. A
minor "fender-bender" receives a complaint number just like a major felony case. The difference is
that one unit will respond to the minor accident, but many will investigate the major case.
The following chart counts all units which were clocked out by the Computer Aided Dispatch
System. It includes units which were dispatched to a call as a primary or secondary unit, as well as
those which initiated field activity themselves.
It shows that the "B" Detail had 46.17% of the radio and field activity, and that July was the
busiest month with 9.24% of the year's activity.

CRIME IN NASHVILLE
The caseload on the investigative elements of the police department has increased through the
years. At the same time, staffing has been reduced. In order to efficiently manage more work with
fewer investigators, the Investigative Services Bureau has adopted a new system to assign cases
for follow-up. By assigning a point value to the solvability factors of each case, the cases earn a
"score." Only those cases which have a high score (which translates into a high chance of being
solved) are assigned to an investigtor. The remainder of the cases are held until further information
develops, or are eventually filed. This system permits supervisors to concentrate tneir limited
personnel resources on those cases which have the best chances of being solved or cleared by
arrest.
The chart included here depicts the case assignments of the Criminal Investigations Division.

UNDERSTANDING CRIME STATISTICS
Crime statistics are a direct result of crime having been reported. Approximately half of all violent
crimes and even fewer property crimes or lesser personal crimes are reported. Generally, the
reason for reporting is "to keep it from happening again" or to "recover my property."
Many variables influence crime and the resulting statistics to such a degree that it is exceedingly
difficult to compare two different areas, much less two different jurisdictions. What we can do
effectively is compare the reported crime in an area to the crime in that same area for a previous
time period. We do this on a large scale by examining the seven Part I offenses that comprise the
Uniform Crime Reports (U.C.R.).
When comparing crime statistics in this manner, other factors need to be considered before
arriving at a conclusion:
* residential/working population
* drug use and sales in area and drug law
enforcement
* pedestrian traffic
* unemployment rate of an area
* number and frequency of prison releases/
parolees
* per capita police protection
24
* police response time
* seasonality, day of week, time of day
* weather
* sentencing practices and court committment
to state prisons
* differences in local laws and reporting
procedures

The Crime Analysis Section maintains a harmonious relationship with all other elements of the
department, allied agencies, and the public.
Burglary, robbery, and sex offenses are plotted on maps to identify problem areas by geographic
areas. Further analysis is conducted and the results disseminated to the appropriate section.
The Crime Analysis Section maintains current files on known offenders, prison parolees, nick
names, scars, marks, and tatoos, and has the capability to search for suspects on this information
as well as on physical descriptors.
Lastly, the unit handles special requests from the mayor, council, business people, citizen groups,
and individual citizens. Neighborhood watch groups call for suspect descriptions, and business
owners and homeowners call regarding the suitability and stability of an area.

NASHVILLE'S TRAFFIC PROBLEMS - AN ANALYSIS
The Metropolitan Police Department Patrols all of the roadways in Davidson County. There are
2580.44 miles of public roadways in the county, of which 85.36 are interstate highways.
Due to the convergence of three interstate highways, being a popular vacation area, and being
the metropolitan hub of a primarily rural Middle Tennessee, Nashyille has a great deal of vehicular
traffic for its resident population. Consequently, we have quite a strain on the traffic-related
elements of the department. But, working with fewer personnel than in years past, the accident
statistics reflect decreases from 1989. This is a tribute to all street officers and also to our
companion law enforcement agencies-Tennessee Highway Patrol, Motor Vehicle Enforcement,
Public Service Commission, and the satellite cities.
Included in this section are graphs and charts illustrating the performance of the department in
traffic-related matters.

POLICE DEPARTMENT FUNDING
The Metro Police Department, like all Metro services, was a victim of difficult economic times in
the fiscal year 1990-91 budget.
The police appropriation has traditionally been approximately 7.3% of the total Metro budget.
However, the FY 90-91 budget was particularly difficult as not only did we experience a real dollar
cut of $388,145, we got a lower percentage of the total budget. (see accompanying graphs and
charts.) In other words, 7.3% of the total in FY 89-90 came to the Police Department - but only 7.0%
in FY 90-91. Although this .3% does not initially appear to be a great cut, consider that its real dollar
value equates to $2,108,618.00. Obviously, had we continued at the 7.3% of total level, we would
have had an increase over FY 89-90 of $1,510,989. Instead, at the 7.0% level, we experienced the
real-dollar cut described above.
The department's response to the budget cut was to generally count on attrition to bear the
brunt-basically, not filling vacant positions. Also, other money-saving procedures instituted by
Business Manager Ken Sanders included: streamlining the purchasing procedures, changing the
fiscal arrangements for acquiring unmarked police cars, utilizing available state and federal grants
for programs and equipment, relying on the drug and felony forfeiture funds, etc.
The graphs and charts display information relative to the police funding figures.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS
I LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCREDITATION I
Accreditation demonstrates to the community that we possess the professionalism they want and
deserve.
Accreditation is a term that is becoming more and more commonplace in the law enforcement
profession. Although relatively new in this field, accreditation has its roots in the field of education
and dates as far back as the 1780's.
In 1979, the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration provided $1.5 million for research for the
development of standards for law enforcement. With funds from LE.A.A., over 900 standards were
developed by four professional organizations:
International Association of Chiefs of Police
National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives
National Sheriffs Association
Police Executive Research Forum
The Commission of Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (GALEA), was established to
manage the accreditation process. it is an independent organization-not directly related to any
federal, state, or local government.
ACCREDITATION PROCESS
There are five general phases in the accreditation process. They are:
(1) Application
(2) Agency Questionnaire
(3) Self-Assessment
(4) On-site Assessment
(5) Commission Review
The Metropolitan Nshville Police Department is at phase three-self-assessment. The Department
has approached this phase with the objective of meeting all of the standards identified by the
Commission for a department of its size. During self-assessment, new policies and procedures are
being developed and implemented. A great deal of research and review is necessary, as well as
training for personnel effected by any changes.
BENEFITS OF ACCREDITATION
The Police Department has already benefited from this process in the following ways:
(1) $164,000 in grant money was awarded to the Department by the Governor's Highway Safety
Program. This money will be spent to supply state-of-the-art equipment and training for both
patrol and traffic officers. Our Department was chosen due to the progressive traffic investiga
tion standards required by accreditation.
(2) Updated written directives have been distributed. These directives cover various liability
issues.
(3) Accreditation requires an in-depth review of every aspect of the Department's organizational
structure, operations, and administration, including:
• Establishment of departmental goals and objectives, with provisions for periodic review
and updating.
• Reevaluation of whether departmental resources are being utilized in accord with the
goals and objectives.
• Correction of deficiencies before they develop into major problems.
30
(4) Accreditation has provided a continuing flow of information regarding exemplary policies,
procedure, and projects.
(5) It provides international recognition that this Department's managerial and operational policies
and procedures are in accord with a body of professional standards and that we have made a
concerted effort to attain professional status.
(6) Accreditation promotes relationships with neighboring law enforcement agencies as well as
prosecutors, courts, correctional agencies, and state and local government officials.
(7) It promotes standardization of operational policies and procedures, thereby increasing effic
iency in handling calls for assistance, referrals, and joint investigations.
(8) Accreditation demonstrates to the citizens of Nashville and Davidson County that the Police
Department possesses the expertise they want and deserve.
LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCREDITATION COALITION OF TENNESSEE (LEACT)
In 1989, the Accreditation Manager brought all of the Tennessee law enforcement agencies
involved in accreditation together for a coalition-(LEACT). This group meets every two months to
disuss critical issues and to share information. There are currently 20 member agencies. Captain
Faulkner serves as President of LEACT.
ACCREDITATION-THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE
Accreditation is for a five year period. To maintain ·accreditation during this period, agencies must
remain in compliance with those standards under which accreditation was awarded.
The accreditation standards far exceed traditional policing. They represent a level that the law
abiding public should be able to expect on a regular basis. The on-site assessment is tentatively
anticipated for 1992. The members of the Metropolitan Police Department are anxious to receive
the international recognition they so rightly deserve.
I CRIME STOPPERS
Crime Stoppers is an organization which pays money for information leading to convictions in
criminal cases. Callers are assigned a secret code number, and their identity remains unknown.
This organization is comprised of business and community leaders who contribute funds or other
resources. The program is administered by the Crime Stoppers Unit of C.I.D., which in 1990
compiled the following statistics: 284 cases were solved as a result of information gathered by this
unit, including 8 homicides, 14 robberies, 212 fugitives, and 50 other cases. This unit also assisted
in the recovery of over $250,000.00 in stolen property and narcotics.
I THE HUNDRED CLUB
The Hundred Club is an organization which provides financial assistance to the surviving family
of any public safety professional of the Metro Government who is killed in the line of duty. This
organization will pay the debts of police officers, firefighters, and EMS workers who make the
ultimate sacrifice. Thankfully, this organization has not paid any claims since 1982. The Hundred
Club is funded by individual and corporate donations. The Metro Police family sincerely appreciates
the work of the leaders of this fine organization, as well as the generosity and concern of all
members.
I POLICE SUPPORT SERVICES DIVISION I
This division provides counseling and referral services to employees and their families. Law
Enforcement is a very high-stress profession, and the pressures created sometimes take their toll
on peoples' lives. Marriage and family, substance abuse, financial, and crisis counseling are among
the many services provided by the staff of mental health professionals.

investigations.
Sergeant Hunter received Investigator of the Year for his work in solving a triple homicide. By
working diligently, and using the most advanced technical systems available, Sergeant Hunter was
able to locate a bloody handprint on a bedsheet. This evidence contributed greatly to the conviction
of the defendant, who was sentenced to death by electrocution in the sentencing phase of the trial.
Several community service organizations recognize a police officer of the year for accomplish
ments above the call of duty.
Nashville Chamber of Commerce Police Officer of the Year
Officer Chris Vick, of the East Sector, was awarded this honor for his actions to save the life of a
wrecker driver onto whom a vehicle had accidentally fallen at a traffic accident. Officer Vick was
also recognized for his numerous felony and drug related arrests, which were accomplished
through excellent police skills and observance.
Bellevue Exchange Club Police Officer of the Year
Officer Mike Moss, of the West Sector Directed Patrol Unit, was awarded this honor for his
actions and skill used to apprehend a bank robber. Officer Moss confronted the suspect as the
robber was fleeing in a vehicle. Officer Moss was able to hang onto the getaway vehicle in the
parking lot of the bank and attempted to physically subdue the robber, who was reaching for a
handgun in his waistband. An alert citizen was able to block the getaway vehicle's path, at which
point Officer Moss was able to secure the robber without injury.
Donelson - Hermitage Exchange Club Officer of the Year
Detective Ricky Roll, of the Armed Robbery Unit, was awarded this honor for his investigative
skills and perseverance in clearing a series of violent bank and drugstore robberies.
