Message from the Sheriff Last year, in my message for the Annual Report, I vowed that drastic budget cuts would not prevent us from decreasing crime. It seemed an ambitious goal at the time; doing more with less is never easy. I am proud to say that the men and women of the LVMPD have once again risen to the occasion. Despite unprecedented budget cuts in operations and employee benefits, the LVMPD saw a six percent decrease (-6%) in its overall crime index from 2009-2010. Impressively, that annual decrease is part of a five year trend that has yielded some noteworthy statistics:

Auto Theft Homicide Robbery Assaults w/ Firearms Traffic Fatalities

2005 19,759 152 4,191 1,206 184

2010 7,076 115 3,450 770 85

Change -64.19% -24.34% -17.68% -36.15% -55.98%

These are extraordinary numbers! I am incredibly proud of, and grateful for, the fine Department members who made this achievement possible. In the face of economic decline and wide-spread government layoffs the Metro family stayed strong, stayed together, and prevailed. Well done. So where do we go from here? The vision of the LVMPD remains to make Las Vegas the safest community in America. While crime is down categorically, we have not yet fulfilled that vision. One area where we have seen a rise in crime is sexual assaults (5 year 16% increase). In the next year I expect that number to be reduced. Additionally, I want to see another decrease in our overall crime index and a continuation of our impressive trend. Unfortunately, we will once again be asked to accomplish our large goals with a small budget. Tax revenues are expected to decline, and many local agencies will be forced to downsize. Nevertheless, I remain committed to no Metro layoffs. We have served the community well with our current staffing levels, and I will fight for a continuance of the existing roster. With on-going prudence and creativity we should be able to move forward with all of the members of our law enforcement family. Thank you, Metro, for your dedication and service. You have worked well in the community you serve, and I am proud to be your Sheriff.

Sincerely,

Sheriff Douglas C. Gillespie

LVMPD: We Are Our People In the tough economy facing our nation over the past couple of years we could not have a better suited Chief Financial Officer at the helm of our agency than Karen Keller. The success that we have continued to experience in these hard times can largely be attributed to Karen and her team in the Office of Finance. Karen’s staff consists of a dedicated team, committed to accomplishing the task at hand and meeting the budget. Karen and her team have had to make many unpopular decisions. They are a team that works closely together, accomplishing tough challenges by openly participating in round table discussions and being creative and innovative in developing new, more efficient means of accomplishing the department mission. Karen attributes our agency’s success in meeting Sheriff Gillespie’s mission of no layoffs to Metro’s quick responsiveness and being on the forefront of adapting to the required reductions. It was Karen and her team’s foresight three or four years ago that lead to Metro’s belttightening before it became critical. With the responsiveness of the entire department, we have been able to continue to provide our community the same level of service that we have consistently provided prior to the economic downturn. In fact, crime has gone down when one might have expected it to increase. Karen began her career at Metro as the Department’s Accounting Director in February 1998. In October 2001, she was named the head of the Office of Finance as the Chief Financial Officer. When asked what significant changes she has witnessed in her tenure on the Department, she cited the obvious growth, but also the culture change that has taken place within the organization. In the lucrative times, when our community was experiencing exponential growth, it was full speed ahead. Bureau’s within the organization were able to obtain the supplies and equipment that they wanted, rather than scrutinizing those purchases and limiting them to only those essential in the performance of our jobs. This philosophy shift became possible through educating all department members. The annual budget hearing workshops were especially critical in getting the support and buy-in of department bureau heads agency wide. Prior to joining the Metro team, Karen worked for seven and a half years at the City of Las Vegas as the Division Director of Accounting. She worked as a Financial Analyst for CitiBank for seven and a half years. Prior to embarking on her career, Karen graduated with her Bachelor’s degree in Accounting Finance in 1982, from the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Apart from her time at Metro, Karen enjoys spending her time with her granddaughter and the rest of her family. She enjoys reading, as well as being outdoors gardening. When time permits, Karen enjoys traveling. We are fortunate to have Karen as a valuable asset to our team!

Profile: Captain John “Jack” Donahue

DSD, North Tower Bureau

As with all large law enforcement agencies, the Las Vegas Police Department has an intricately balanced working relationship between our police and corrections sides of the department. Both sides have different, complimentary functions within our law enforcement family. Both sides work hand-in-hand in dealing with the same clientele and face similar difficulties. Detention Services North Tower Bureau Captain Jack Donahue defines the balance between the two intertwined sides of the house. Jack became the first Corrections Captain in the department’s history to have the opportunity to apply his supervisory expertise, obtained from his experience in corrections, to the police side. Fresh out of high school, Donahue joined the U.S. Air Force as a Military Police Officer stationed at Nellis Air Force Base. In August 1986, Captain Donahue hired onto the Department as a Corrections Recruit. Upon successful completion of the academy, Jack hit the decks of the jail. After completing probation, he became a Field Training Officer. It was here that Donahue started cultivating his forte for training. At the inception of the Special Emergency Response Team (SERT), Jack became part of the team and progressed to a team leader. In August 1993, Donahue promoted and once again hit the decks of the jail, this time as a graveyard Sergeant. While working in this capacity, he became the first Corrections’ Internal Affairs Liaison. Donahue retained his regular duties as a Platoon Sergeant, while assuming the additional responsibilities of performing internal investigations. In June 1996, Donahue transferred back to Training as the Corrections Academy Sergeant. For two and a half years he was responsible for preparing the newly hired correction recruits from six academies to safely perform their job of maintaining order

in our detention center. In December 1998, Donahue promoted to Lieutenant, once again bringing him back to the decks. After six months he became the Ancillary Lieutenant, overseeing outside operations at the Stewart Center and the Laughlin Jail. From here he became the Administrative Lieutenant, acting as the bureau commander in his commander’s absence. Jack promoted to Captain of Staff Operations in October 2005. It was in this capacity that Jack fostered the partnership, between Metro and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) referred to as 287g. This partnership permits specially trained corrections officers to determine the documentation status of foreign-born inmates. When a concern arises about the inmate’s

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department   |   11

documentation status, a hold is placed on the subject pending the adjudication of local charges. Today, Metro’s 287g Program is considered one of the premier operations in the country. In September 2009, Jack made the unprecedented move from the Clark County Detention Center to the Personnel Bureau as the Bureau Commander. While in Personnel, he supervised the Budget Reduction Task Force, compiled to identify potential cost savings, in efforts to reduce the Department’s overall budget. Eight months later, following the downsizing of the Personnel Bureau, Jack returned to CCDC where he now oversees the six year, $120 million remodeling of the North Tower infrastructure. The accumulation of Jack’s experience and expertise has afforded him the opportunity to share his knowledge on a national level. Recently, Jack instructed at POST in Carson City, before newly elected Nevada Sheriffs, about establishing Standard Operating Procedures at their local county jails. He has also taught at the National Institute of Justice, the American Jails Association, and the American Corrections Association of Prisons on Detention related subjects. Jack’s interests outside of Metro revolve around his family. He and his family enjoy getting away to unwind at their mountain property in Duck Creek Village, Utah. Jack is the proud father of three children. His oldest daughter recently married and currently resides in Texas. He has an eighteen year old son who is a senior in high school and keeps both he and his wife busy attending baseball games. Jack’s youngest daughter is a junior in high school and entertains the family as a member of her school’s marching band. The Metro family has been blessed to have Jack as a leader on both the Corrections and Police sides of the agency.

22   |   2010 Annual Report - Success in Hard Times

Facilities The Range Project: This was a 6 month project which significantly enhanced firearms training, and improved the capacity to accommodate our growing police force. Additional on-site parking added 94 paved parking spaces. Restrooms were added to eliminate the need for port-apotties. Along with new restrooms, basic utilities like city water and sewer was added eliminating the need for water pumps and septic tanks. In addition, the Range received a new targeting system that enhances training, and allows for preprogrammed training scenarios. Finally, this project included a bullet trap and recovery system which allows for easy retrieval of lead bullets making the Range a better and safer training environment. Northeast Area Command: The new NEAC was re-located to 3750 Cecile Ave. This 12 month project was completed in February 2010 creating a new and modern 22,764 sq.ft. facility with enhanced public access including a public meeting room. The facility significantly improved briefing room capability, provided space for property crimes, PSU and COP detectives, larger secure parking for employees and police vehicles, and added an emergency power generator which can maintain the entire building during any power outage. Air Support Project: This project was our hallmark accomplishment this year opening in January 2010 at 3600 Thunderbird Field Rd., NLV Airport. This project created a new 10,000 sq.ft. administrative area and over 30,000 sq.ft. of fixed wing and helicopter hanger space, allowing parking of all of the aircraft and Search and Rescue (SAR) fleet that was before stored on an unsecured airport ramp (subject to the weather extremes, vandalism, on-lookers, etc.). The new facility has a dedicated maintenance service area, complete with an overhead jib crane, drastically increasing safety, efficiency and convenience. The storage space also increased significantly, allowing rescue equipment to be stored out of sight but quickly accessible as SAR events dictate. Office, site security, parking, shower, training, workstation and locker space was either dramatically increased or now exists where it had not before. The complex has a state of the art fire suppression system to include smoke, heat and flame sensors which are capable of activating either a water dousing and/or high expansion foam in literally seconds in case of an indoor aircraft/fuel fire. This essential facility also received an emergency power generator to ensure 24 hour operation during power outages. A new SAR climbing/rappel/fast rope tower was constructed, also increasing both training safety and high angle rope rescue skills. LVMPD Headquarters (Campus): This project is the cornerstone of our future and creates, for the first time, a home for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. This three building administrative complex is located at 400 S. Martin L. King Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89106. The campus will sit on 13.76 acres of land and will feature 370,500 sq.ft. of leasable space and over 2,100 parking spaces, a five level parking garage located behind the administrative buildings. The location of the campus was important and is within close proximity to the Courts, Detention Center and other Government agencies. The Headquarters campus will provide space for approximately 1,200 LVMPD employees currently located throughout the valley. By consolidating administrative and investigative services into one location, we will be better able to provide services to the community and be more efficient and effective in continuing to provide a safe community. In addition, it will create a much improved customer service environment for our citizens seeking information, police records, or employment. The project is on track to be completed in June 2011 and personnel will begin moving in July 2011.
