cityof CINCINNATI Interdepartmental Correspondence Sheet Date: May 13, 2014 To: Jeffrey Blackwell, Police Chief From: Captain GaryW. Lee, Patrol Administration Commander Copies to: Subject: Patrol Bureau Police Visibility Overtime: First 60 Days Usage Analysis In March, 2014, the Cincinnati Police Department received additional funding, which was designated to facilitate extra police patrols throughout the city. This funding stream was identified as Police Visibility Overtime (PVC). Within the Patrol Bureau, the PVC funding was distributed to each of the five police districts, the Central Business Section, and the Special Services Section, which includes the Traffic Unit and the Safe Streets Unit. Utilization of the PVC funding began on March 08, 2014. The purpose of this report is two-fold; the first being to identify how PVC funding has been utilized during the first 60 days of its application. The second purpose is to determine what effect the PVC funding has had on crime and disorder throughout the city. District and Section commanders were directed to apply the PVC funding to specific needs as identified and prioritized by the commanders. Application of the PVC funding was established to fulfill tactical and strategic needs, as well as funding problem solving projects and responding to areas plagued by general disorder and quality of life issues. These projects, needs, and issues were identified by the commanders after; (1) careful analysis of crime data to identify criminal hot spots and violent crime street segments, (2) integrating placed based problem solving projects, and (3) identifying and responding to quality of life issues and general disorder concerns as identified by community members. Police Visibility Overtime has been utilized based upon the following projects, needs, and issues. Tactical Needs: Tactical needs are unexpected demands on police assets based on an actual or anticipated criminal event. These occurrences can be either spontaneous or rapidly emerging. Examples of such incidents would include a major criminal event (such as a homicide), that strains existing police resources. Other examples might include responding to rumors of a large fight scheduled to take place after school, or responding to an area where retaliatory violence is expected to occur. In these instances, police supervision is able to divert the existing PVO funded officers to respond to these unexpected tactical needs. Police Visibility Overtime Analysis First 60 Days May 13, 2014 Page 2 Strategic Needs: Strategic needs are longer-termed, pre-planned police responses. Strategic needs are usually place based in nature, and designed to address specific criminal activity such as violent crime, thefts from autos, burglaries, etc. A strategic response is usually driven by analyzing existing crime data. Through this analysis, district and section commanders can allocate PVC funding to patrol specific locations, on specific days, and at specific times, consistent with current crime trend s. Problem Solving Projects: Problem Solving Projects are also long term, and are a “place based” police response. In this case, a specific location, such as a convenience store, apartment building, or street corner is identified as a “crime attractor.” This means that there are specific qualities about the location that creates an environment that is conducive for criminal activity. Problem Solving Projects are generally complex and require the participation of multiple police resources including; patrol personnel, Neighborhood Liaison Officers, Quality of Life Enhancement Team Officers, Youth Services Section Officers, and Vice Officers, to name a few. General Disorder and Quality of Life Issues: General disorder and quality of life issues are circumstances identified primarily by feedback from community groups and the general citizenry. This feedback can come in the form of information gathered at community meetings, Town Hall meetings, or the individual comments from a concerned citizen. Some of the most common complaints regarding disorder and quality of life issues include; juvenile disorder, prostitution activity, panhandling, traffic congestion, loitering, littering, and graffiti. District and Section PVO Overview Following is a representation of how district and section commanders have utilized PVC funding during the first 60 days of implementation. In general, the reviewer will see how police response will fall within one of the four previously defined projects, needs and issues. The following representation is not all inclusive of every instance of how PVC funding is being utilized, but will provide relevant examples of how well the funding is being applied, and what early successes have been realized. Central Business Section Police Visibility Overtime was used in the Central Business Section as a problem solving effort to reduce juvenile related thefts in retail stores, such as Macy’s, which is located at 5th and Vine Streets. Historically, 80% of juvenile retail thefts in the Central Business Section occur during the school year (September through May). Additionally, shoplifting at Macy’s accounted for more than 20% of the Part I Crime in the Central Business Section for the month of March, 2014. The Central Business Section adopted a project, which included a goal of reducing juvenile related thefts by 20% over the next month. The strategy included juvenile truancy enforcement in the Central Business Section on school days and during school hours. Police Visibility Overtime Analysis First 60 Days May 13, 2014 Page 3 In addition to police enforcement efforts, department personnel met with Macy’s to help identify some long term, sustainable crime prevention strategies (target hardening), which included increased uniform store security, prohibiting unsupervised juveniles inside the store during school hours, and better methods of securing items highly sought after by shoplifters. Central Business Section officers used PVC funding to facilitate the following strategies to address the theft problem in and around the Macy’s store. 1. 2. 3. Increased visibility of uniformed police officers in and around key locations such as Government Square, Fountain Square, and key retail locations in the Central Business Section. Increased truancy enforcement in these key Central Business Section locations. Increased patrols on inbound Metro buses in the Central Business Section to identify truants and return them to school before any criminal behavior or juvenile disorder could occur. As a result of this PVC funded truancy initiative, 10 truancy arrests have occurred thus far. During the month of March, there were 18 juvenile related theft offenses at Macy’s. During the month of April, (after the implementation of the PVC juvenile initiative), there were only 4 juvenile related theft offenses at Macy’s; a reduction of -78%! District One Thus far, District One has utilized their PVC funding to primarily address violent crime in the Northeast Quadrant of Over-the-Rhine (Back and Hamer Streets), and the Southeast Quadrant of Over-the-Rhine (12tl~ and Clay Streets). The following illustrations identify how these two areas were selected, based on the 2013 violent crime experience. During the first 30 days of PVC deployment, District One experienced the highest number of violent crimes in the high activity areas during times when PVC officers were not deployed. During the second 30 days of PVC deployment, District One adjusted the PVC deployment times. The end result was that violent crime was reduced in the high activity areas from 10 crimes during the first 30 day period down to only 3 violent crimes during the time frames when PVC officers were deployed. More significantly, from April 6 to May 3, there has been only one violent crime occur in the target area during active PVO deployment. Additionally, District One has utilized a small percentage of its PVO to help launch the long-term Prostitution Initiative in the West McMicken Street Corridor. Police Visibility Overtime Analysis First 60 Days May 13, 2014 Page 4 Prostitution activity in this area has been the subject of many complaints by neighborhood residents, business people, and citizens who commute through the area.

These communities are Evanston, Madisonville and Kennedy Heights! Pleasant Ridge communities. PVC funds were utilized to assign covert officers for surveillance and drug investigations and uniform officers assigned to high visibility foot, bicycle or Segway patrols. The primary hours occurring between 1600-0000 hours. PVC funds were utilized to supplement community events, i.e. H3 Hoops Program at the Evanston Recreation Center following homicides in Walnut Hills and intelligence information indicating potential retaliatory violence at the Recreation Center. PVC funding was also used to facilitate critical Community Problem Criented Policing Projects in these identified neighborhoods. In addition to addressing neighborhood violence, and problem solving projects, PVC funds were allocated to accommodate more community based contacts in the business districts in District Two; specifically: Segway and walking patrols in Hyde Park, Oakley and C’Bryonville. Personnel were instructed to interact with business owners and patrons to build community trust, partnerships, and to address environmental issues which provide opportunities for crime. i.e. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. Neighborhood Statistics: Use of PVO funding resulted in decreases in Part One crimes in four of the five identified communities (see attached maps). Specifically: Columbia Tusculum: Evanston: Kennedy Heights: Pleasant Ridge: -23% -24% -44% -26% decrease decrease decrease decrease in in in in Part Part Part Part One One One One Madisonville: +3% increase (from 34 to 35 instances of Part One Crime PVO Specific Statistics: District Two PVO resources have resulted in the following: • 100 Responses to radio runs • 13 Adult felony arrests • 38 Adult misdemeanor arrests • 7 Juvenile felony arrests • 23 Juvenile misdemeanor arrests • 30 Truancy arrests • 16 Vice arrests Crime Crime Crime Crime PVO Specific Statistics (Continued): • • • Police Visibility Overtime Analysis First 60 Days May 13, 2014 Page 6 10 OVI arrests 4 Gun seizures 306 Additional business contacts. Significant Arrests & Success Stories Burglaries / Breaking and Entering: 1) On April 16, 2014, District Two Police Officers were assigned PVC to address a spike in burglaries in the Columbia Tusculum/East End/Linwood Communities. The officers observed Robert Poff, and Kenneth Young in possession of bicycles at 2326 Riverside Drive. The suspects are known offenders in the area. The officers attempted a consensual stop and both suspects discarded the property and fled on foot. Following their apprehension, the suspects confessed to multiple burglaries in the area including the $8000 and $5000 racing bicycles in their possession. 2) On March 19, 2014. District Two Police Officers observed Lorin Cook in the area of 1833 Clarion Street. Mr. Cook was observed making multiple attempts to purchase narcotics from area street dealers. The officers initiated a traffic stop after observed violations. Subsequent to the stop, multiple LEADS hits for firearm offenses and burglaries were discovered. The search of the vehicle incidental to his arrest resulted in the recovery of criminal tools, masks, police scanners, and gloves. The subsequent interviews by Kentucky Law Enforcement officers resulted in the closure of ten burglary offense in the Tn-State region. Felonious Assault I Robbery: 1) On March 18. 2014, District Two Violent Crimes Squad personnel witnessed an Aggravated Robbery / Felonious Assault committed by Quinton Young. Mr. Young is an Evanston CIRV member and was the focus of an ongoing investigation. During the offense multiple shots were fired at another person. The officers were able to apprehend Mr. Young without incident, recovered the involved firearm, and vehicle used in the offense without incident. District Two demonstrates that the use of the PVC funding, in conjunction with Community Problem Oriented Policing Projects, Cincinnati Initiative to Reduce Violence Efforts and Relief/Investigative efforts, have resulted in a 21% overall reduction in violent crime and a 13% reduction in total Part One Crimes during 2014.

Crime analysts have closely monitored the activity in these targeted areas, noting that police response has had the desired effect of disrupting and fragmenting the criminal activity, moving it into other adjoining areas. Because of this vigilant monitoring of criminal activity, District Three has been able to adjust PVC usage by both time and location to continue their pursuit of this criminal shift. These original areas, and areas of shifting criminal activity are illustrated on the following attachments. As a result of PVC funding, District Three has experienced a 21% decrease in violent crime, and a 6% decrease in total Part One crime. Cf additional importance is the fact that there has been a decrease of 700 calls for service in the District year-to-date. This is a -9% decrease in calls for service when compared to the previous 10 year average. PVO funded production includes the following: • • • • • • • • 95 102 12 162 13 110 4 8 Traffic stops Traffic citations issued Pedestrian citations issued Warrants served Adult Felony arrests Adult Misdemeanor arrests Curfew arrests Vice arrests Please refer to the attached illustrations for further detail.

The first incident was a homicide on William Howard Taft Road involving a 14 year old victim. The necessity for managing a large crime scene, including numerous bystanders, strained not only existing District Four resources, but additional resources from the surrounding districts as well. PVC funding was used to allow for additional resources to remain on scene past normal duty hours, which not only facilitated crime scene and crowd control needs, but also enhanced investigative capabilities in locating and questioning potential witnesses. Later in the month, another 14 year old was killed at 3522 Reading Road. PVC was also beneficial at this location in much the same ways. The apartment complex at 3522 Reading Road has been, and will continue to be the subject of a police problem solving project, including significant strategic responses funded by PVC resources. These strategies include walking patrols in and around the apartment complex as part of the Department’s “right of entry” privilege agreed to by the property owners. Police presence here is focusing on drug trafficking and drug abuse activities, trespassers, and general issues of disorder. These efforts, funded by Police Visibility Overtime, have resulted in the fact that for the first time in several years, 3522 Reading Road was not identified as a “Chronic Nuisance.”1 District Four PVC activities have primarily focused on the neighborhoods of Avondale, Walnut Hills, Bond Hill, and Roselawn. Efforts in these neighborhoods have resulted in the following: • • • • • 84 151 153 -9% -23% Blight abatement locations Traffic enforcement citations Criminal arrests (resulting in 323 criminal charges) Reduction in robberies Reduction in Felonious Assaults Please refer to the attached illustrations for further detail. 1 A chronic Nuisance location is identified by the large number of calls for Service to that location within a 30 day period.

Airy. PVO enabled the use of additional plain clothes and uniformed patrols in the CUE area, with an emphasis on investigating suspicious activity and persons, in an effort to reduce robberies. The end result of the first 60 days emphasis is a 35% decrease in robberies as compared to the previous 110 day period. In Mt. Airy, PVO patrols focused on the areas of Hawaiian Terrace and Bahama Terrace. These street segments were selected due to the large numbers of street violence, drug complaints, and calls for service received in 2013. Increased foot patrols in these areas, funded by PVO, resulted in: • • • -11% Decrease in Calls for Service -38% Decrease in Burglaries -100% Decrease in Robberies In Northside, PVO funded foot patrols were responsible for an -18% decrease in robberies during the first 60 days implementation.

Police Visibility Overtime is also facilitating additional enforcement in such critical areas as juvenile truancy and curfew violations, which are a frequent source of juvenile disorder complaints. PVO is also facilitating adult prostitution investigations and prostitution project problem solving. It has also been responsible for an overall increase in both adult and juvenile arrests of offenders that would have otherwise gone unrecognized. Increased Vice related arrests have also resulted in addition to more drug, gun, vehicle, and currency seizures. Police Visibility Overtime is also helping make our City streets safer through increased enforcement of vehicle and pedestrian violations. Additionally, Police Visibility Overtime is helping to facilitate positive public contacts through the increased presence of police officers in the business and entertainment districts of our City during critical times. This presence translates into positive citizen and business engagement, and an increased perception of safety. Police Visibility Overtime has enabled the Police Department to effectively respond to unexpected tactical needs, plan strategic responses to locations plagued by chronic crime and general disorder, as well as facilitating long-term problem solving projects. Police Visibility Overtime has also enabled our Department to better respond to the citizen’s quality of life concerns and other complaints of general disorder. Based on the current success realized during the application of the initial 60 days of Police Visibility Overtime, Patrol Administration recommends the continued use of this valuable resource in the same manner as originally implemented.
