The mission statement for the City of Baytown's Police Department states, "Our mission is to enhance the quality of life in the City of Baytown by working cooperatively with the citizens within the framework of the U.S. Constitution. Our mission will be accomplished by enforcing laws, educating the public, preserving the peace, reducing citizen apprehension, and providing a safe environment for our community by vigorously eliminating the criminal element." The Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) will incorporate strategies designed to enhance public safety in Baytown. Item 1 —Ton (10) Police Officers The CCPD will provide additional resources through increased manpower that is to needed to target specific issues in the community. History has shown that a targeted response can be the most efficient use of these increased resources. The hot spots of crime issues (Northwood, Bergeron Park, Highway 146, Garth Road and IH-10 corridors, etc) call for a large quick reaction force that can address specific issues as they arise. CCPD funding will provide personnel for specific targeted responses to selected criminal activity. The additional personnel will be hired to create a patrol Targeted Response Team or "Hot Spot" group. Those officers will be used at different times and in different geographical areas of the city as "Hot Spots" occur. They will be used as a unit to saturate problems for quick resolution. Rather than responding to the results of criminal activity, the officers will be able to prevent or curtail the crimes and to quickly take the offenders into custody. The team may also be used to replace a complete Patrol shift for short periods of time to allow patrol officers to attend mandated training. Officers are required to attend 40 hours of training every two (2) years. Having the ability to pull entire shifts off of the street to attend training will insure that the mandated requirements are met without the need for additional overtime. Another need for additional personnel will be satisfied through these funds by providing additional manpower to the existing DOT unit. The additional manpower will allow for increased inspections of commercial vehicles traveling through our city. 81T A Item 2 —Vehicles Funding will be used to add additional vehicles to the department for these new personnel to use during the performance of their duties. Item 3— Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) Program CCPD funding would be used to replace the aging laptop computer system used in the patrol vehicles as Mobile Data Terminals (MDTs). The department has used MDTs since 2000 and currently operates 71 units. There is currently no program in place for funding of this in the Police Department budget. 41 The computers provide a means by which better communications can be provided to the officer in the field. Rapid communications and access to computer information makes for a better informed officer and a safer environment for the units in the field. • The method of annually evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of the individual crime control and crime prevention strategies. A key legislative requirement of a proposed Crime Control and Prevention District is the inclusion of a mandatory evaluation of the effectiveness and efficiency of each crime control and prevention strategy. This process builds accountability with the program, assuring voters that their funds are being expended both productively and competently. Performance Indicators will be monitored and reported quarterly to the CCPD Governing Board of Directors. The following performance measurements will be the basis of evaluating each strategy. Performance Measurement—Targeted Response "Hot Spot" Team 1. Adult Arrests versus same period in 2006 2. Aggravated Assault reported versus same period in 2006 3. Auto Theft reported versus same period in 2006 4. Burglary reported versus same period in 2006 Performance Measurement — DOT Personnel 1. Motor Carrier Violations versus same period in 2006 2.
