Welcome from Police Chief Oscar Dick The Manitowoc Police Department was created in 1876 and has been serving and protecting our community for almost 135 years. Our city has grown to almost 19 square miles of land consisting of over 15,200 living units and over 900 commercial buildings. We patrol the 188.16 miles of streets consisting of approximately 900 intersections of which 2/3’s are controlled by a sign or signal light. The latest population figures show us serving 34,800 people. In 2010 your police department employed 66 sworn officers, 10 full time and 1 part time non-sworn staff, and 11 part time crossing guards with a 2010 budget of 7.7 million dollars.

Chief Oscar Dick

The members of the police department rose to the many challenges they faced in 2010. As you read through this report, I am sure you will agree, the men and women of your police department have continued to provide a high level of professional service to our community and its citizens. During 2010, over 35,736 calls for service were received by the county dispatchers assigned to the City of Manitowoc work station. These calls for service generated over 17,461 police incident reports. The crime rate for the most serious of crimes went up compared to 2009. One example of this increase is auto thefts which rose 30%. When you break down the numbers auto thefts only went from 13 to 17 reports. As noted on page 40, the overall crime rate for our most serious of crimes is still down some 63% since crime prevention started to keep records back in 1979. As a department we have looked to the safety needs of the city and found alternative sources to fund programs and initiatives aimed at education and enforcement of laws and ordinances. Partnering with the State of Wisconsin Bureau of Transportation brought over $70,000 dollars to the City of Manitowoc for Bicycle, Speed, Drug, Alcohol and OWI enforcement, education and equipment. Federal grants received in 2009 allowed us to upgrade equipment and begin a new era of police work in 2010. Please look at Deputy Chief Brennan’s report on page 6. New projects such as the Chaplin Program and K-9 Program have helped Manitowoc’s Police Department keep pace with an ever changing work environment. The use of the city website at www.manitowoc.org allows citizens to sign up for alert notifications via text or e-mail for a variety of topics from sex offender releases to emergency parking restrictions or press releases. Each of these new additions will play a role in keeping both mind and body safe and sound for officers and citizens alike. More information on the K-9 Program can be found on page 57 and on page 59 for our Chaplain Program. In October of 2010 Forbes magazine ranked Manitowoc as one of the nations best cities to raise a family! With your help Manitowoc will continue earn accolades as a great place to live and work. Your help is important and may give us that one piece of the puzzle that solves a crime and promotes a successful prosecution. Please remember that we would rather be called and not needed than needed and not called. It is with the utmost respect, that I offer my thanks to all who have called with even the smallest bit of information in an effort to help the police solve or prevent community problems. Respectfully submitted, Oscar Dick Police Chief 5

Deputy Chief Bridget Brennan 2010 was a great year of progress and change for the Manitowoc Police Department. We had changes in personnel and the addition of K-9 Aik. I continue to work on our departments grants. We spent $92,199.95 from our 2009 grants. This included salary and benefits for one Metro Drug Investigator, the Dep. Chief Bridget Brennan cost of our K-9 Aik and his equipment and various forensic, safety and technology projects and equipment for the department. We have a balance of $108,069.46 left in our 2009 grants. New in 2010 is a Bureau of Justice Assistance –Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) in which we received $17,348. Of this total, $4,817 was given to the Manitowoc County Sheriffs Office as part of the grant contingency. We have $12,531 to be used towards our second K-9 Ully. We also obtained a matching grant of $30,000 from the West Foundation for our K-9 fund. Our department also received several State grants in 2010. Captain Zimney worked on an Alcohol grant worth $30,000. We had a local match of $7,500 which was achieved through officer time working the grant. Most of the grant paid for overtime for enforcement efforts, but we did obtain five (5) new PBT’s, two (2) new VieVu cameras with two (2) car kits and 4000 PBT straws. Lt. Eckley managed an Alcohol grant for $25,000. Funds were spent on overtime costs for enforcement, PBT’s VieVu cameras and Safety Vests. The 2010 Speed grant, managed by Captain Freiboth was for $20,000 and was utilized to purchase an upgrade to the computer in our speed trailer which included “slow sign” software, red and blue light software, and a tamper alarm system. We also were able to purchase a handheld LIDAR speed detection unit and 160 reflective traffic cones. Lt. Reimer was in charge of our $2,000 Bicycle grant that was used for overtime costs. Lt. Habeck managed the $2,000 Pedestrian grant which was also used for overtime for enforcement. Respectfully submitted,

Bridget Brennan Deputy Chief

Detective Bureau

Capt. Scott Luchterhand

The Manitowoc Police Department’s Detective Bureau consists of one Captain of Detectives, one Detective Sergeant and eight Detectives including one whose primary duty is working with the Metro Drug Unit. We are also very thankful to having received a grant, which allowed us to add an additional metro drug officer. This officer will allow us to try and create an even bigger impact on the tremendous drug problem facing our community. The detective bureau is staffed with both a first and second shift. Of course, as always, the detectives continue to make themselves available through cell phones to provide coverage 24 hours a day – 7 days a week.

The Bureau is primarily responsible for the investigation of major felony crimes such as homicide, sexual assault, burglary, robbery, forgery, and fraud. In addition to these investigations they are also responsible for the collection and preservation of evidence. The detectives assigned to these crimes have developed an advanced level of expertise by attending specialized training and through years of experience working on complex cases with colleagues at the federal, state and local levels. Investigating complex major crimes require the dedication, cooperation, and assistance of a variety of individuals and units. Detectives work closely with patrol personnel to identify witnesses, preserve major crime scenes, gather critical information, and develop leads. They also coordinate activities between the District Attorney’s Office, Department of Human Services, Probation and Parole, F.B.I., State of Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation, various Correctional Institutions, the Wisconsin State Crime Lab and many other organizations. Last year I mentioned that over the past several years we have had a dramatic increase of prescription drug overdose deaths involving young adults in our community. I also promised that we would do everything possible to hold those people accountable who contributed to the death of these victims by selling drugs in our community. With the assistance of our local District Attorney’s office and the State Department of Justice we were able to bring to justice three (3) individuals who have now been sentenced to extended prison terms for their involvement in contributing to the death of these victims. Unfortunately the drug problem in our community has continued to increase throughout the past year. Heroin use is at an all time high. Combine that with the continued use of Cocaine and prescription drugs such as Oxycontin, Fentanyl, Morphine, and Methadone and our community is facing a major hurdle which will be difficult to overcome. We as a department will continue to do everything we can to try and combat these drug problems. However, we cannot do it alone!! We need the assistance of our community to step forward and become leaders in an effort to make the necessary changes to prevent these drugs from getting into the hands of our citizens. Narcotic drug use is extremely addictive and creates a craving that is so overwhelming that the abuser will do anything to get these drugs. Unfortunately this creates more crime for our community as abusers break into residences/businesses, commit robberies and steal products to try and sell for money to supply their habits. The citizens of Manitowoc still remain our best asset. No matter how much training or technology we use, citizen involvement and awareness allow us to apprehend the unlawful. We can’t stress enough the importance of calling our department when you observe a crime being committed or see something 7

unusual going on. I have also said that I would much rather go on a call and find out that “nothing was really going on” than to find out in the morning that a crime had been committed and no one called. Our detectives are an extremely dedicated, hard working group of individuals. Through their investigations they make every effort to seek the truth, exonerate the innocent and gather information that will convict the guilty in the criminal justice system. The information gathered is then submitted to the District Attorney’s Office who ultimately makes the final charging decisions and conducts the prosecution of each case. However, our detective bureau cannot function by ourselves. That is why the Manitowoc Police Department’s Detective Bureau works closely with the Community Policing Division to help prevent the citizens of our community from becoming victims of crimes and to educate them on how to become better witnesses should they become involved in a crime. We are very grateful to the citizens of our community. Together we can make a difference!! The members of the Manitowoc Police Department’s Detective Bureau:

Patrol Division The Manitowoc Patrol Operations Division authorized to employ 46 law enforcement professionals to provide services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In 2010 the patrol division was divided among 3 shifts that employ staggered starting times to ensure a smooth transition between each shift. When fully staffed each shift consists of 1 Captain, 2 Lieutenants, and 12 or 13 patrolman. Our officers work well together, not only in a team effort with each other, but as well with other city departments and other law enforcement agencies. The department is fortunate to have creative, energetic, and devoted employees. Our most valuable assets are the men and women, both sworn and civilian, who help us fight crime and solve problems each and every day. Despite the many challenges at the national, state and local level, our staff fights hard to improve the quality of life in our community. Officers are encouraged to take a tough stance on crime with a renewed commitment to strategies that help prevent crime, reduce the fear of crime and improve the quality of life in neighborhoods. This requires an intimate knowledge of the community. The police and community must continue to work together to solve ongoing problems. The efficient and effective use of the talents and resources available within communities will help extend strained police resources. First shift is comprised of 12 Patrol Officers and work the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Command Staff includes Captain Rick Habeck, Lt. James Schweigl and Lt. Charles Boldt.

Officers are assigned to specific geographical areas throughout the city, handling all types of calls for service. Officers must also handle traffic control and security issues during special events through out the City of Manitowoc. Those special events would include: Memorial Day Parade Car Ferry Duty/Security Thunder on the Lakeshore 4th of July Picnic Salmon Derby Holiday Parade Hmong New Year Sputnik Fest

Lincoln High School Graduation Metro Jam Riverwalk City Firework Display Manitowoc County Fair Triathlon Lakeshore Weekend for Kids Oktoberfest

The Patrol and Detective divisions of the Manitowoc Police Department continue to do the best they can with the resources available. They handle a wide variety of calls for service which range from “routine” police work to those calls which truly test the officers’ nerves, fortitude and courage. Like most cites, Manitowoc is seeing an increasing amount of drug use and drug trafficking. This ever increasing scourge on our citizens and our city threatens to destroy the very fabric of our community and costs taxpayers untold thousands of dollars annually. Our patrol officers, with the assistance of information shared from members of the Manitowoc County Metro Drug Unit, made significant strides in 2010 to increase our awareness and interdiction towards those persons who both use and sell drugs within our community. This sharing of information on specific individuals involved in the drug trade has benefited the Metro Drug Unit and the Patrol Officers on the street. Our officers are on patrol 24/7, and have more opportunities then the Metro Officers to check specific areas or residences for people coming and going at all times of the day or night, specific vehicles at a residence or in a given area and other opportunities to gather intelligence for the Drug Unit Officers. Patrol has gathered some very specific information for the Drug Unit which has helped them to put the pieces in place in their investigations. The information shared by the Metro Drug Unit also keeps the patrol officers safer, as they have more upfront and specific information on individuals involved in illegal activity. Patrol officers, using this information and other information gathered have also made some significant drug arrests of their own, scoring some heavier weights on both marijuana and crack cocaine. There has also been better communication between shifts and the detectives on specific persons involved in illegal activity, resulting in a more coordinated effort to interdict this drug trade and other illegal activity. The patrol 11

officers of the Manitowoc Police Department continue to demonstrate exceptional teamwork in dealing with the issues which face our city and which require constant vigilance. Underage drinking continues to be a problem in Manitowoc. This past year, Patrol Officers were able to use the Social Host ordinance numerous times to cite individuals who allowed underage alcohol consumption on their properties. In the past, before that ordinance took effect, it was sometimes difficult to prove who provided an underage person with alcohol when responding to these types of calls, as the underage persons are usually reluctant to snitch on the person who had provided them with alcohol. With this ordinance however officers only have to prove who the property owner or person in charge of the property/drinking event is and that they knew this activity was taking place to be able to cite a person under this ordinance. And with a current fine amount of $1,311, this sends a strong message to these social hosts that the City does not take this issue lightly. Gang activity also continues to be an issue in Manitowoc as well. Although there have not been the major fight and shooting incidents as in past years, there is evidence that some of the known gang members are dealing in the sales of illegal drugs. New to the scene this year for Manitowoc gangs is the immergence of the Juggalos. Surrounding cities, especially in the Fox Valley area, have had issues with Juggalos and Juggalettes (the female version of these gang members) for years, so the fact that these types of gang members and their activity had come to Manitowoc was not unexpected. In June of 2010, we experienced our first real issue with several of these gang members, as they were found responsible for stealing a motorcycle, entering vehicles to steal items and numerous acts of vandalism resulting in hundreds of dollars in damage to property. Several Juggalo gang members have been identified in the City and patrol officers along with the officers involved in the Gang Task Force attempt to monitor their activity whenever possible. Cooperative efforts by members of the Two Rivers Police Department to also identify other Juggalos residing in their jurisdiction and the Mishicot area, and the sharing of this information between departments has also resulted in a better coordinated effort to meet this threat head on. Both police departments will be better prepared for to recognize further Juggalo activity which is likely to get worse as popularity of the Juggalos continues to grow in the Lakeshore area. What follows is a sampling of the calls which patrol officers handled in 2010. These calls run the gamut of going from extremely dangerous to totally bizarre, to tragic. Dealing with these types of calls and situations epitomize how the officers of the Manitowoc Police Department truly do risk their own safety for the protection of the public on a daily basis. The City of Manitowoc can be proud of the way officers handled these incidents. They are handled as safely as possible with professionalism and compassion for the victim(s). Domestic Situation: Officers investigated on February 7, 2010 a domestic situation where a male subject was bit twice- once in the face and once in the top of his head by his girlfriend. He was also beaten with a high heal shoe to his back. Suspicious Vehicle: On February 8, 2010, Officer Wallander stopped a vehicle driving suspiciously on Waldo Blvd. The vehicles contained four (4) male Asians and after all in the vehicle were identified, the front passenger was found to have two outstanding warrants from Outagamie County and Illinois. All were from the Wausau/Mosinee area. This person was locked up at MTSO. Officer Wallander later checked online data bases and discovered that two (2) of the four (4) were documented gang members of the Immortal Bloods and Oriental True Bloods gangs. More information on these persons is being obtained through contacts Capt. Zimney has with gang officers on the Wausau Police Department. It is unknown exactly what they were doing in Manitowoc, but the online data bases suggest they are involved with drug dealing. 12

Robbery: On February 16, 2010 a robbery occurred at the Check into Cash Store at 3011 Calumet Ave. and the suspect was located at a nearby apartment complex, Officer Kronforst was asked to process the suspects’ apartment for evidence of the robbery. He and Officer Delsman located several items relevant to the crime. Detective McCue had located the suspect’s jacket in a common clothes dryer in the building. Officer Kronforst was very observant to realize that the room where the clothes dryer was located had a drop ceiling. He observed that one of the ceiling tiles was not quite in place. He and Officer Delsman located a small plastic trash can to stand on and pushing up the tile, they located a plastic bag, which was one of the items used in the robbery. Inside this bag they located a .45 caliber handgun and a mask, believed to be used in the crime. Officer Kronforst processed this evidence. Weapons Violation: On February 21, 2010 Third shift Officers respond to the area of W. Albert Dr. and Hidden Hollow Road on a report that a person had been shot and then crashed his vehicle. Officers locate a male subject in a vehicle with a gun shot wound to his left leg. Investigation reveals the wound was most likely self inflicted although the suspect never admitted that. Officers went to the suspect’s trailer as he initially told officers he was shot in his trailer home. Officers located 9 spent 9mm casings and blood inside the trailer. It appears the suspect shot up his trailer and inadvertently shot himself in the leg in the process. Animal Bite: On March 5, 2010 att 1124 hrs., Officer Perronne responded to the Lincoln Park Zoo as two subjects had been bitten by the bear. An adult female had crossed the observation area and began feeding the bear through the fence. The bear then bit her fingers. Her friend (adult male) attempted to get the bear to release the bite and was also bitten. Both subjects were transported to the hospital for their injuries and both admitted to drinking prior to the incident. Detectives continued the investigation. Burglary: On March 8, 2010 Officer Wallander happened to be at the next door residence on an EMS call when a call came in from a person who called to report someone was trying to break into her home. Officer Wallander responded and upon making contact with the caller in her home, he smelled a strong odor of THC. He was able to gain consent from the caller to search her home and located about 13g of THC in a drawer in a bedroom. The caller’s male friend finally admitted to owning the THC. Three of the persons involved in this incident are known to be involved with drug activity in Manitowoc, and this information was forwarded to Metro Drug. Fight: On March 19, 2010 officers responded to Glenn’s Bar for a disturbance/fight. Four suspects were detained as they left the area on foot. One subject was found to have cocaine on his person, one had an MTSO commitment and one was cited for Disorderly Conduct, as he was in instigator of the problem. The fourth person was released with no charges. The instigator claimed he was with the gang Mexican Mafia and the persons he was having problems with were Nortenos gang members. Capt. Zimney interviewed the instigator at the PD. His claims of being with the Mexican Mafia appear to be fabricated, although he may have connections with the Surenos gang. Drugs: On April 16, 2010, Officer Koenig stopped a vehicle as he believed the registered owner of the vehicle was driving and that person had no valid DL. The driver turned out to be someone else but upon making contact with the occupants of the vehicle, Officer Koenig could smell a very strong odor of THC. Other officers arrived to assist at Officer Koenig’s request. A back seat passenger was observed to be trying to stuff an unknown object into his pants and Officer Koenig and Pusel removed him immediately from the vehicle and placed him in handcuffs for Officer Safety. Officer Pusel searched the subject and located a plastic grocery bag in the subjects’ pants / underwear. This bag contained 12 baggies which each contained approx. 5g of marijuana each. A total amount of 65.8g of marijuana removed from the subject, and one of the three subjects in the vehicle who was identified is believed to be a subject that Metro Officer Arps had been attempting to identify as a local drug dealer. The suspect 13

also had $687.00 cash in his pocket. The subject was charged with Possession of marijuana with Intent to deliver and his cash was seized. Warrants: On May 1, 2010 Officer Pusel was on patrol when he recognized a subject walking down the street. Officer Pusel was aware this person had numerous outstanding City commitments. Officer Pusel stopped and made contact with the person and the commitments were confirmed. The subject had 11 outstanding Manitowoc City commitments which totaled $6,332.20 or 121 days in jail. The subject was transported to MTSO jail. Suicidal Subject: On May 4, 2010 While Lt. Reimer was on patrol at about 0218 hours he observed a male subject standing on the Revere Viaduct Bridge facing east towards the Burger Boat plant. The subject was looking down. Lt. Reimer remained in the area for a short time and saw that the subject was not moving along. Thinking the subject’s behavior to be odd, Lt. Reimer made contact with the subject and found him to be crying, intoxicated and despondent. The subject stated he was “just thinking”. Lt. Reimer obtained the subjects information and learned through dispatch that a female with the subjects same last name had filed a TRO on him just days before. Lt. Reimer asked the subject if he was married or had children and the subject replied “Not anymore.” When Lt. Reimer asked the subject what he could do to help him he replied “Just shoot me.” The male would not admit that he was contemplating jumping from the bridge to the asphalt below but Lt. Reimer believed this to be the case. Lt. Reimer, with the assistance of Lt. Eckley, transported the male subject to HFMMC where he was evaluated and eventually transported to Nicolet Treatment Center in Green Bay for mental issues. Had the subject carried out what is believed to have been his thought of jumping from this area of the bridge, it most likely would have resulted in very serious injury or death. Assault: On May 8, 2010 Officer Koenig responded to a complainant’s home. He said he had been beaten up at Frank and Larry’s Tavern by a member of the Immortals Motorcycle Club. The subject had severe injuries. Officer Koenig and other officers went to the tavern where they located two members of the Immortals. Officers were aware of the male they were looking for by a physical description but he was not there. They received very little cooperation from other Immortals. The male subject responsible is said to hold the rank of Sgt. at Arms. This subject, with the help of the Detective Vorpahl, was later identified and charged. Suspicious Activity: On May 17, 2010 Officers Schuettpelz and Wallander were called to a southside residence in reference to suspicious activity. One of the occupants of the residence was bragging to roommates about having stolen some items from a garage at his place of employment. The suspect’s roommates also had found some information from a social networking site that the suspect was possibly growing marijuana in the attic. Officers Schuettpelz and Wallander made contact with the suspect who was on probation. The suspect allowed Officers consent to search his room. Items were located which seemed out of place and suspicious. Officer Wallander also located in the attic, which was only accessible from the suspects’ bedroom, what appeared to be a marijuana grow operation in the attic. The suspect at first denied any knowledge of what was happening in the attic and then admitted he was growing tomatoes up there. The suspect was found to have been drinking and he currently had a no drink as part of his probation. He was placed into custody on a PO Hold and transported to the jail. Officers Schuettpelz and Wallander were able to secure a telephonic search warrant from the on call DA and Judge Willis. Numerous items were removed from the attic including 12 small plants (about one inch high) growing in individual pots, a fan, a heater, florescent lights and a timer. These and other items were transported to the PD garage evidence area. The grow operation was reassembled and once the plants grew large enough, they were tested for THC and the tests were positive. 14

Assault: On May 30, 2010 officers dealt with a male subject who was highly intoxicated and had facial injuries. He had been located by a citizen near S. 8th and Quay Streets. He was transported to HFMMC and later to St. Vincent in Green Bay due to a minor brain bleed. During the investigation, he claimed he had been beaten up by up to 5 Aryan Boyz gang members. He self admitted to being a Surenos gang member. He had moved to Manitowoc from Kansas about 8 months ago. He claimed to be with the Surenos set of MCB – Master Criminal Boyz. He had two tattoos on each forearm – both the number 13. Fatal Accident: On June 6, 2010 Officers Block, Keil, Koenig, Krock and Denk responded to a one vehicle accident at near Ray Street and Rock Court. A vehicle containing three persons lost control and struck a tree. The officers on scene coordinated themselves to cover all tasks which needed immediate attention at the scene. Officers Block and Keil covered the accident scene. Officer Krock spoke to potential witnesses; Officer Koenig stayed with the driver of the vehicle and obtained a blood sample from him. Officer Denk went to the hospital and spoke to the only person (passenger) in the vehicle who was conscious and able to relate what had happened. The driver of the vehicle died the next day. The Wisconsin State Patrol was needed to reconstruct the accident. Theft: On June 23, 2010 at 0521 hours, Manitowoc Police responded to a report of two persons entering an occupied vehicle and stealing a purse from inside the vehicle in the 1300 block of Division St. The two suspects fled with the purse but the subject holding it later dropped it when he realized the subject in the vehicle knew him. Upon arrival by the initial responding officer, more information was obtained of the identity of the second suspect. This officer, familiar with the second suspect who lived nearby, directed other responding units to that residence about one block away. When the two other responding squads rolled up the residence on Columbus St., they observed five males (two of which were the original suspects in the theft of the purse) attempting to push a motorcycle into a residence. When the subjects observed the squads, they dropped the motorcycle and fled in different directions. One suspect, who lived at this residence, attempted to flee and was Tased by an officer. He was taken into custody. The motorcycle was found to have been stolen from a residence in the 1700 block of Columbus St. Two other suspects who fled came back to the residence a short time later. Both were taken into custody. The last two suspects were located and taken into custody in the 1800 block of Division St. a short time later. All suspects are from Manitowoc. The investigation revealed that the five suspects entered numerous unlocked vehicles and stole items from within them from about a five block surrounding area. They were also responsible for damage to other vehicles and other home owner’s property within this area. Two of the suspects also stole the motorcycle, rolling it back to the residence where officers located it. The five suspects all face felony charges for either theft of a motor vehicle or receiving stolen property, depending on each person’s roll in the theft. Each also faces numerous other charges ranging from misdemeanor theft from vehicles to obstructing and criminal damage to property. Four of the five suspects admitted to being Juggalos. Attempt to Locate: On July 3, 2010 Third shift officers had received information from TRPD that a “person of interest” in an attempted homicide should be taken into custody if located. This subject has a long history with MTPD and Officer Kronforst came into the PD to look up and distribute photos of this subject and his known friend he hung out with to other patrol officers. Officer Pusel let other officers know that he believed he had observed the two subjects about 20 minutes prior to the TTY information from TRPD coming out, in the downtown area. Officer Kronforst went out and within about 40 15

minutes, located the suspect TRPD was looking for. He was taken into custody on a PO Hold, however subsequent interviews by TRPD and MTPD detectives in the following days lead to a confession by the suspect in the attempted murder incident in their city. Interviews with the subject also revealed he claimed to be a Juggalo. Fight: July 5, 2010 at 0324 hours officers went to investigate a fight call at a S. 15th St. residence.

The operator was the lone occupant of the vehicle. Officer Koenig also noticed a package of cigars, and 2 air fresheners in the vehicle. Officer Koenig noticed that subject was very nervous and he was rubbing his hands on his legs back and forth numerous times. Officer Koenig called for the MTPD Canine to respond and Officer Weber and Aik arrived. The subject was asked to get out of the car and he began pacing back and forth and continued to look back at his car nervously. After the subject was informed that Aik would be searching his car he took off on foot running west. Officer Koenig, Officer Weber and Aik chased the subject. Officer Koenig captured the subject in the 900 block of Columbus St. and he was brought back to the traffic stop scene in handcuffs. While sniffing the vehicle, Aik “hit” on the center console.

Upon arrival, police located a tan colored van which was severely damaged and hung up on a headstone, unable to move any further. The operator was no longer at the scene. The van was registered to a female subject that Officers were familiar with and it was suspected she or her boyfriend had been driving the vehicle. Several officers converged into the area of the southside residence. One Officer made contact with the registered owner and she confirmed that her boyfriend was using the van. A short time later, Officer Jason Denk observed the 27 year old male suspect walking in the 2100 block of S. 22nd St. He was highly intoxicated and found to be on probation.

Fire: On October 26, 2010while on patrol at about 11:53 p.m., Officer Pusel observed a building on fire in the 2700 block of Calumet Ave. The building was determined to be an empty former residence which is now owned by Team Electronics and used primarily for storage of empty boxes by that company. The Manitowoc Fire Department arrived to the scene and extinguished the fire, but not before the building sustained major damage. No persons were injured in the incident. The fire was determined to be suspicious in nature and further investigation into the matter will continue. This is the second suspicious fire in that neighborhood in the last five (5) weeks. Shots Fired: On November 26, 2010 Third shift officers were called to the area of the 1000 block of S. 20th St. near a local tavern for a report of shots fired after an altercation took place between several black males and several Asian males. The altercation erupted outside the tavern and one of the Asian males was observed by witnesses to pull a handgun from his waist band and fire at least one shot in the direction of a vehicle which had left the scene with the black subjects in it. Officers did locate one shell casing at the scene. This investigation is continuing. Drugs: On November 30, 2010 at 0104 hours, Officer Erickson stopped a vehicle after it passed him on Custer St. Officer Erickson was familiar with the vehicle and knew the registered owner did not have a valid DL. Although he had been unable to tell who was operating the vehicle due to the speed and rainy conditions, he stopped the vehicle as it pulled into the driveway of the registered owner’s address on Dale St. Contact with the operator of the vehicle revealed that it was being driven by a male subject who was not the registered owner, but he also did not have a valid DL. Officer Koenig went to assist Officer Erickson on the stop, as Officer Koenig was familiar with the subject, having arrested him on drug and weapons possession charges in August. Officer Sohlden also assisted. Officer Koenig observed the subject to be very nervous and he also observed some marijuana shake and a small marijuana bud in the vehicle. Also in the vehicle officers could observe differing amounts of cash lying about along with other indicators of drug use. The subject was arrested for possession of marijuana.

The subjects took off on foot when Officer Pusel arrived on scene, leaving their truck behind which one of the subjects later tried to report as stolen. Investigation revealed that the owner of the vehicle left behind and his brother had been removing/attempting to remove spare tires from the underside of vehicles within the city. They removed five tires from vehicles and all tires were recovered in the back of their truck. All victims property was returned as one of the suspects later showed Officer Pusel which vehicles they had stolen the tire from. Both will be referred on five counts of theft and possibly an attempted theft, as the original caller later claimed it appeared they had tried to remove his front truck bumper. Fire: On December 11, 2010 at 2247 hours, Officers responded to 201 E. Waldo Blvd for a building on fire. Officer Krock checked the exterior of the building upon his arrival for any foot prints leading up to the building and found none. Conditions were cold and blowing snow at the time of the fire.

Officers had earlier contact with the subject at a south side residence over a verbal confrontation with a friend. The subject was intoxicated and given a ride home by officers. Later in the shift, dispatch received a call that the intoxicated subject was back at the south side residence. He had left the scene before officers arrived driving his vehicle. Officer Denk set up on the north side and intercepted the subject as he drove back to his home. This was a Felony OWI arrest on the subject as it was his 6th offense. Accident: On December 21, 2010 officers were dispatched to Peters Pantry for a Hit and Run accident where a vehicle had struck one of the overhead garage doors. Officer Sohlden attempted to follow the vehicles tracks in the fresh falling snow and observed that it appeared the vehicle had then struck the guardrail on the Revere Viaduct. He located vehicle parts and radioed to other officers his findings. Officer Weber was EB on Waldo Blvd and at that time observed a vehicle with a damaged front end which could possibly be the suspect vehicle. Officer Weber stopped the vehicle and the operator originally lied to him about how the damage had occurred on the vehicle. The operator was eventually arrested for OWI and two counts of hit and run based on the damage to both the Peters Pantry Building and the guardrail on the viaduct.

Records Division What makes an organization great is how it handles the day to day demands that seem to be endless. Those individuals who show up, who arrive day after day and give their full attention to all requests for service, understanding that even the low-end complaints can be a major deal to someone. The primary focus of the records division involves the processing of offense reports, fingerprint records, open records requests, warrants, sex offender Office Manager information, parking tickets, field warnings and endless ordinance and traffic citations. The record division also provides routine searches of Federal, State and local databases to assist officers with locating information that is pertinent to their cases and investigations. Without continuous dedication from them, officer would not be able to access the multiple layers of data that is inputted into the system in order to help them with their daily tasks and/or investigations. Thanks for doing a great job!!! Jeri Lynn Christensen

Currently with the ever increasing use of technology, the Records Department is processing both paper and electronic records from police personnel. TraCS is statewide software utilized by law enforcement personnel to electronically create traffic warnings, traffic citations, and ordinance citations by using computers in their squad cars or offices. Eventually officers at the Manitowoc Police Department will also be reporting their accident reports electronically to the state as well. This software saves an officer time and should improve the accuracy and completeness of paperwork through validations built into the software. We continue to try and reduce officer’s time on paperwork, thus increasing their availability for patrol. By having officers issue TraCS citations the information can be uploaded to our in-house records management system, along with the file being sent electronically to 20

the Municipal Court Clerk, the Clerk of Courts, Wisconsin Department of Transportation, and the District Attorney’s Office. It was vital that the Manitowoc Police Department implement the TraCS system, due to the fact that on January 1, 2011 all Wisconsin law enforcement officers are required to begin collecting and submitting data from traffic stops to determine whether the number of traffic stops between minorities and nonminorities is disproportionate and whether the number of traffic stop searches between minorities and non-minorities is disproportionate. Without submitting this data collected through the TraCs system and submitting it through the WIJIS Gateway web application, would be very time consuming for records personnel. For the year 2010, the Manitowoc Police Department received approximately 35,736 CALLS FOR SERVICE from the Joint Dispatch Center, which resulted in 17,461 INCIDENTS/COMPLAINTS being investigated by the department. This department received 4,159 more CALLS FOR SERVICE than last year, which resulted in an increase of 360 INCIDENT/COMPLAINTS over last year’s total. True and accurate reports and statistics regarding these incidents/complaints can be obtained further within this report. The Manitowoc Police Department takes pride in our high standards of providing public safety to our community, and within this report are some examples where this is making a difference.

Community Policing

Lt. Paul Schermetzler

Organizational Background In 1979-80, Manitowoc experienced extremely high rates of criminal activity. Reported burglaries totaled 442, reported theft totaled 1299, and vandalism totaled 1168. With the high rates of reported crime and especially for property crime, the City of Manitowoc passed a resolution to form a committee to assist the Manitowoc Police Department in the fight against crime. This committee, which began with 14 members, was responsible for the start of what became known as the Manitowoc Crime Prevention Program. Since 1980, crime has been reduced in part of this community crime prevention effort along with using the community policing philosophy. In 2010, burglary totaled - 77, an 82.58% reduction from 1979, reported theft - 585, 54.97% reduction and reported vandalism - 371, 68.24% reduction respectfully. In order for the police department and the Manitowoc community to see such a reduction in crime many community partnerships were established, and are governed by the now 23 member crime prevention committee. The following lists the crime prevention program and purpose: Crime Stoppers - The Manitowoc County Crime Stoppers was established in 1985, to assist local law enforcement agencies in solving crimes in their jurisdictions. Through the Crime Stopper program, citizens who have knowledge of a specific crime are encouraged, either for civic or monetary reasons to come forward with needed information to the police. The Manitowoc program is proud to announce that since 1985, citizen tip information has helped Manitowoc County law enforcement recover over one million dollars worth of property. In the programs 25 years, the Crime Stoppers program has paid out $51,923 in reward money, which equates to $22.04 of property recovered for every $1.00 of reward money paid. In 2010, the program registered 69 incoming tips, which solved 40 crimes and recovered property totaling $115,300. Fifty seven individuals were arrested based on those 69 tips. The Manitowoc County Crime Stoppers program is governed by a civilian board of directors, comprised of 20 citizen members who oversee the general operation of the program and administer the reward funds received through public donations. The law enforcement agencies that participate in the program 31

are: Manitowoc County Sheriffs Department, Manitowoc Police Department, Two Rivers Police Department, Kiel Police Department and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

School Resource Officer Program - The School Resource Officer program is a combination youth education and delinquency prevention program involving a trained police officer assigned to schools as a consultant on juvenile justice and crime prevention. The officer serves as a resource to school staff and students with unique responsibilities involving community resources, education, liaison, preventive patrol, investigation, constructive referral and community relations. Manitowoc has 3 school resources officers that work at Manitowoc Lincoln High School, Woodrow Wilson Jr. High School and Washington Jr. High School. These officers also serve the 6 elementary schools and the Manitowoc alternative school. The officers meet with their school administrators weekly to discuss crime trends and student behaviors. The emphasis on the discussion is both a reactive and a proactive approach to school crisis. The officers also patrol the surrounding neighborhood, which includes parks, retail stores and residences for any signs of student criminal behavior. Quick $50 Crime Stoppers - The Quick $50 Program is offered by the Manitowoc County Crime Stoppers to area colleges, high schools and elementary schools, their students, and citizens of Manitowoc County. It pays rewards for information of illegal weapons and drugs in schools according to the following guidelines: - $50.00 for information resulting in the confiscation of any weapon, including guns, knives. - $50.00 for information resulting in the confiscation of any drug, drug paraphernalia, or alcohol on school premises. Fleetwatch - Fleet Watch is a formal community service program sponsored by area utility companies, businesses and public agencies to assist law enforcement and the community. Company vehicles equipped with radios and cell phones are used to report suspicious events, crimes in progress or other emergency situations. The program was developed to help increase police effectiveness by increasing their number of “eyes and ears” on the street. The program utilizes company employees who are trained to identify emergencies and also become a link between the public and police, and as such, will become a deterrent to crime. Operators of radio-equipped vehicles observe crimes or other events they view as potential crimes, report to their dispatchers who, in turn, notify the appropriate law enforcement or assistance agency. Those vehicles are marked with Fleetwatch decals easily seen by the public and by other vehicle operators who may ask company employees to report or relay emergency messages, if no other communication means is available.

32

On the Right Track Program - The On the Right Track Program (OTRT) addresses the emotional and educational needs for the first-time offender youth and enables the youth to put his or her experience with the law into perspective. On the Right Track is an early intervention educational program designed to deter the first-time offender youth from repeating criminal activity. The major emphasis of On the Right Track is on educating the juvenile offenders about taking personal responsibility for their behavior generally, and for their “illegal” behavior, specifically. During class, participants must analyze their value systems with respect to law, personal relationships, and concerns for other persons and their property. A major focus of discussion is on the youths’ beliefs and attitudes about laws, education, future career plans and family values. This five hour, one-day program is conducted on a Saturday and is an intensive education and groupdiscussion program led by Criminal Justice Institute Educators, from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, division of Outreach and Continuing Education Program. Parents are now required to attend this program with their juvenile first-time offender, and the cost of the $70.00 is paid by the offender, thus eliminating any cost to the taxpayer. Project Youth - Project Youth is a resource for Manitowoc County youth and their families. Developed and funded through Lutheran Social Services, the program emphasis in helping families resolve troublesome issues before they become unmanageable problems. They help assist in establishing healthy patterns of communication in the family, and help the family members come to an understanding of what’s happening in their lives and guide them in developing a plan to overcome their problems. Project Youth services are free and confidential. They’re available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Pharmacy Crime Prevention Task Force - In September of 2005 a partnership between the Manitowoc County Pharmacies, the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department, and the Manitowoc Police Department was formed. This partnership became known as the Manitowoc County Pharmacy Crime Prevention Task Force. The goal of the Pharmacy Task Force is to provide a forum through which pharmacies can work together to prevent crimes involving prescription drugs. Prescription drug abuse has been on the rise as more and more people are becoming addicted to prescription drugs. The group has several drug collections during the fiscal year at various locations in Manitowoc County, along with permanent collection sites at the Manitowoc Police and Two Rivers Police departments. Below demonstrates the amount of collected items.

33

Manitowoc Crime Prevention Day - Each October Manitowoc celebrates Crime Prevention Month with a ceremony marking the event. Government dignitaries sign resolutions embarking on all citizens to become engaged in efforts to make Manitowoc crime resistant. On the fourth Saturday in the month of October, all the crime prevention and community organizations come together to display and exhibit crime prevention strategies, at an all day event. Child fingerprinting and child DNA collection is a major focus at the event.

Manitowoc Police Department Website - Another tool developed to assist the community in reporting crime is the police departments’ website. Through the website, Manitowoc citizens can receive alerts and news releases via text messages and e-mail notifications. The Report a Concern is also a popular function, where individuals can remain anonymous if they choose. Information received is in regards to traffic concerns, littering, graffiti, parking, drug activity and nuisance properties. Conclusion The Manitowoc Police Departments’ Crime PreventionPolice ProgramDepartment is a collection of many subManitowoc communities which include a variety of old and new crime prevention strategies. We use the police departments’ record management system and data analysis and mapping to inquire where and what crime trends are happening in the community. Using the Community Policing problem solving process (SARA) we examine and identify problem neighborhoods and then work with the citizens, media, public, private and non-profit enterprises to combat and stifle the issues at hand. All of these community programs and the fact that Manitowoc officers are constantly being trained in the use of modern technologies is the reason why Manitowoc has seen great reductions in crime, over the past 30 years.

Crime Prevention

Sgt. Bruce Jacobs

I was promoted to the Crime Prevention Sergeant position in October 2009 and truly believe in the crime prevention theory: The community are the police and the police are the community. We at the Police Department are only as strong as the community allows us to be. With that thought in mind, I am in charge of many different committees and programs that help keep the community involved and also educate them about crime prevention and not becoming a victim. I also give many presentations to service groups, parent groups, elderly groups and the general public on a number of topics. Listed below are some of the committees, programs and activities I have participated in throughout 2010. CRIME PREVENTION COMMITTEE This Committee meets once a month and consists of 23 positions with the purpose of establishment, promotion, involvement, and financing of Crime Prevention Activities and Programs. The Crime Prevention Committee takes an active role on many of the Crime Prevention Programs and Events in our Community. The Committee is a 501(3) (c) organization that handles the financial matters on Crime Prevention issues. The citizens that volunteer to fill those positions are community-minded and actionoriented individuals who are appointed through the Manitowoc City Council. There are monthly meetings held at the Police Department by the members to discuss and take action on many different events and or problems associated with the community. The members volunteer their time not only to be on the committee, but also to help out at many special community events through out the year. NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH The Neighborhood Watch has been a part of Manitowoc’s Crime Prevention Program since the beginning of the Program in 1980. The goal of the Neighborhood Watch is to unite neighbors in their efforts to protect themselves against crime. The details and specifics of how each Neighborhood Watch Program works is up to its members. The Police Department’s role is to facilitate the establishment of the group and to support each group with crime trend information, educational materials, and crime prevention training. The Neighborhood Watch Program at the national level is getting a new emphasis and a new name in the post 9-11 environment. Through the Department of Homeland Security, the Neighborhood Watch Program will now be under the name of USA ON WATCH. The idea behind this change is the premise that if each neighborhood is crime resistant, then each town is crime resistant, then each county and state is crime resistant, and in the 41

end all parts of the USA are crime resistant. Everyone watching out for each other makes our nation safer. At one point, there were over 200 Manitowoc Neighborhoods formally organized as Neighborhood Watch Groups. We had a number of people show interest in starting Neighborhood Watch Groups in their neighborhoods during the year. I was able to do several community presentations and five new neighbors are officially known as Neighborhood Watch Groups. The Neighborhood Watch Block Captains receive regular weekly e-mails with neighborhood crime locations listed. The block captains are encouraged to share what’s happening in their neighborhood with their area blocks. McGRUFF HOUSE A McGruff House is a temporary haven for children who find themselves in an emergency or frightening situation such as being bullied, followed, or harassed. A McGruff House provides a sense of security and a source of emergency aid for the young people of our community. We continue to strive to better utilize the powerful tool that the McGruff House Program is. We hope to find community organizations that will partner with us on this important project in 2011, and beyond. McGruff House Program’s citizen chairman is Kim Schweigert.

RETAIL CRIME PREVENTION TASK FORCE The Retail Crime Prevention Task Force met monthly to exchange information on a multitude of issues involving crimes against Retailers. The meetings are attended by a variety of business people from through out Manitowoc and Sheboygan Counties. The meeting environment is very relaxed and information is exchanged freely. Often time, photos and videos related to retail crime are shown during the meetings. All business owners and concerned community members are encouraged to attend these monthly meetings and to become members of this Retail Crime Prevention Task Force. The preliminary summary showed that there were 287 retail theft arrests in Manitowoc in 2010 totaling $16,673 in merchandise taken. This is up from 2009 numbers of 154 retail theft arrests totaling $15,036. FINANCIAL CRIME PREVENTION TASK FORCE The Financial Crime Prevention Task Force meets monthly combined with the Retail Crime Prevention Task Force. The purpose of the Task Force is to provide a forum through which financial institutions can work together to prevent financial crimes. This teamwork is very important as Identity Theft and Financial Scams and Schemes continues to be a major problem in the United States and in Manitowoc County. The goal is to have a multi-faceted approach to educate the public about protecting themselves from being victims of financial crimes.

TRAID COMMITTEE TRIAD means a three-way commitment among the police, sheriff’s and older or retired leaders. They agree to work together to reduce the criminal victimization of the elderly and enhance the delivery of law enforcement services to older persons. A major purpose of TRIAD is to develop, expand and start effective crime prevention programs for the older community members. Activities center on both pre-victimization (preventive) and post-victimization (victim/witness assistance) aspects. TRIAD works to improve the quality of life for seniors. By providing an opportunity for the exchange of information between law enforcement and older persons, TRIAD can also focus on reducing unwarranted fear of crime. The Manitowoc TRIAD has strongly influenced the Neighborhood Watch program. They conducted a telephone survey, questioning how active neighborhood watch groups are, and how many participating members remain in their neighborhood. TRIAD has also made the Neighborhood Watch Program their personal project, to ensure that Manitowoc remains a safe community. NATIONAL NIGHT OUT National Night Out is a nationwide program which is a community night our to stand against crime. The Manitowoc Crime Prevention Committee and TRAID committee sponsor the National Night Out. National Night Out is designed to: 1) Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; 2) generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime efforts; 3) strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and 4) send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. CITIZENS ACADEMY and CITIZENS ACADEMY ALUMNI The Citizens Academy is 10 week condensed Police recruit school and is sponsored by the The Citizens Academy Alumni Association. The program is publicly advertized and adult citizens apply for the academy. Twelve applicants are picked and going through the training, which is done strictly by sworn Officers of the Manitowoc Police Department. The lessons consist of the following. 1) introduction 2) use of force, defense and arrest tactics, pepper spray and Taser 3) Firearms 4) Investigation, Body Farm and Crime Scene 5) OWI, Drug Recognition 6) Traffic Stops 7) Drugs, K-9, Building Search 8) Gangs, School Resource Officer, DVO, CVSA 9) Internet Predators, Legal System, Courtroom Testimony.

43

YOUTH ACADEMY The Youth Academy is similar to the Citizens Academy except it is not as indepth. The goal of the academy is to provide students with a working knowledge of the Manitowoc Police Department and to strengthen community support and involvement with the department. The topics that are covered are: Police Department Operations, Traffic Stops, Report Writing and Being a Good Witness and Observer, Fingerprinting, Defense and Arrest Tactics, Crime Scene Investigation, Juvenile Laws and Ordinances, Alcohol and Drug Awareness, and Internet Safety.

D.A.R.E. PROGRAM

Drug Abuse Resistance Education; I have taken on the roll of DARE Coordinator for the Department. I was trained as a DARE instructor in 1994 and have been teaching ever since. The DARE Program is taught to 5th and 6th graders at all six public elementary schools and at Cabrini. In 2010 I was responsible for teaching three 5th grade and three 6th grade classes at five different schools. D.A.R.E. DANCE The Dance has been a tremendous success and has grown in popularity each year with last year’s total of 276 D.A.R.E. graduates in attendance. This event is a celebration of the D.A.R.E. graduates’ commitment to be drug free. It is also an example of a positive alternative activity. Funding for the D.A.R.E. Dance is solely from donations by the PTA/PTO’s and other local organizations/businesses. The location is alternated between the two Jr. Highs with the student council providing concessions and decorating for the Dance. Admission is FREE for D.A.R.E. Graduates.

School Resource Officers (SRO) WASHINGTON JR HIGH SCHOOL AND SOUTH SIDE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS (FRANKLIN, JEFFERSON & MONROE) 2010-2011 SCHOOL YEAR

Officer Richard Ladwig

2010 was a year of change for me. I began 2010 as a patrol officer working 1st shift, but on January 26, 2010 I was appointed as the School Resource Officer (SRO) at Washington Junior High, due to Robert Arps promotion to the Metro Drug Unit. Because I was new to Washington Junior High School I had great expectations of getting to know the students and staff and providing a safe environment for all. As the SRO for the last half of the 2009/2010 school year, the biggest problem I tried to target was Truancy. I had to learn the rules and guidelines that accompany this particular Ordinance since I had not had to deal with it in the past. I worked with Officer Bennett to obtain the necessary information to provide Washington Junior High School with the best possible solution to this issue. I started utilizing things like written warnings and Truancy Agreements with students. I implemented a set protocol to deal with the Truancy problem. First I issue a written warning identifying the issue with the student. I sit down with them to discuss their attendance issue. Once this has been completed I inform the students that the next step, if their attendance doesn’t improve, is the Truancy Agreement. This Agreement usually last 30 days and if they provide stellar attendance during this time frame no citation is issued. Another issue I tackled was technology for the SRO program. When I started the three (3) SRO’s had to share two computers to work on paperwork. These computers were connected to the schools computers using software (Logmein) which worked but only allowed two SRO’s to work at a time. This system was also slow and had issues letting us utilize all of our records at the Police Department. I was able to obtain a third computer so each SRO has their own. I was also able to work with MPU staff setting up a VPN and Remote Access for each of the SRO’s so that each SRO could log in and stay logged in all day long. The SRO’s were now able to stay connected to the Police Department as if we were sitting inside the Police Department while being at their schools. Besides this, I continued teaching D.A.R.E. at two (2) elementary schools in the Manitowoc Public School District, Jefferson and Monroe. I had three (3) 6th grade classes at each school totaling 42 hours of D.A.R.E. instruction, graduating them on November 23, 2010. As I write this I am also looking forward to starting teaching D.A.R.E. to the 5th graders at those schools as well. In 2010 there were the usual incidents, fights, petty thefts, and defiant students. We did have one incident with a fledgling gang problem to report. I had 480 total contacts for 2010. The majority of the incidents were Defiance, where I handled 108 incidents with Disorderly Conduct ranking second with 52 incidents. Third was Bullying with 45 incidents. Truancy ranked forth with 42 incidents.

I am looking forward to 2011 and the opportunities that lie ahead at Washington Junior High School with the students and staff. I am also looking forward to teaching DARE at Jefferson and Monroe. Respectfully Submitted;

WILSON JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL MCKINLEY ACADEMY AND NORTH SIDE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS (STANGEL, MADISON, JACKSON & RIVERVIEW) 2010-2011 SCHOOL YEAR Officer John Bennett

I started 2010 at Wilson Junior High School, after being transferred from Lincoln High School in October 2009, to replace Officer Jacobs who was promoted to Crime Prevention Sergeant. However, shortly after the year started, Officer Arps the SRO at Washington Junior High, was selected to be an investigator with the Metro Drug Unit, and for the first part of 2010, I split my time between both junior highs. With Officer Ladwig replacing Officer Arps at Washington Junior High, I returned to full-time duty at Wilson. I also started teaching my first DARE Classes at Jackson School and at Madison School. The DARE Officer Training I attended in October 2009 in Iowa truly prepared me for teaching the DARE Program. Any nerves I had before stepping before my first class quickly went away as the students’ excitement about the DARE program was evident. In March of 2010, due to a medical issue, Officer Jansen, the SRO at Lincoln High School was going to be out for several weeks, so I was temporarily re-assigned to Lincoln High School. Because of my recent assignment at Lincoln High School, and my background with working with those students, I was able to make this transition back quite easy. The only difficult part of this transition was that I was finally getting to know the students at Wilson and I was teaching DARE one afternoon a week. In order not to lose the connection with the students at Wilson, I spent four days a week at Lincoln High School and one day a week at Wilson Junior High during this time as well as one afternoon each week teaching DARE.. Upon Officer Jansen returning to duty, I returned to being at Wilson Junior High full-time. I also tried to start the ball rolling on trying to get Middle School DARE taught in the Junior High level and met with Principal Kristin Lee, from McKinley, who oversees the Health Program, which I figured would be the most logical place to put the program. Middle School DARE, which is called ‘Keeping it R.E.A.L.,’ was first introduced to me during my DARE Officer Training in Iowa. I felt that the curriculum of Middle School DARE would really connect with students at both Washington and Wilson. Also, studies conducted by DARE have shown that combining the Elementary DARE program with Middle School DARE has a much higher success rate. It is my sincere hope that even in these difficult budgetary times that the City of Manitowoc and the Manitowoc Public School District face, that this program get a serious look based on its merits and potential for success. For the year 2010, at Wilson JHS, the majority of the issued I dealt with were Bullying, Disorderly Conduct and Defiance, which accounted for 102 incidents. Truancy was next in terms of number of incidents. The vast majority of my Truancy incidents that required a citation being issued were at McKinley, although I handled 34 incidents of truancy between Wilson, McKinley, Riverview, and Stangel; many of the incidents at Wilson, Riverview and Stangel were of a preventative nature, with meetings with students and or parents to correct the problem before a citation was issued. 47

Cyberbullying has become almost equal in number to what is reported to me as bullying in the school. In October I had been asked to create a Cyberbullying presentation for the Freshman, Sophomores and Juniors at Roncalli High School. I then made some modifications to it and presented on Cyberbullying to the Parent Support Team at Wilson Junior High. In addition, there is a DARE Supplemental Lesson on Cyberbullying and internet safety that I gave to my DARE Students this year. The message I try to get across to students and parents is that Cyberbullying doesn’t end when the school day ends, or when the school year ends, it continues all the time and a child cannot escape from it. That is what makes Cyberbullying so dangerous. This was also the year I was able to graduate my first group of DARE Students. It was a very proud moment for me to see my first group successfully complete the DARE Program and to hear all the essays they wrote. Respectfully Submitted;

LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL RONCALLI HIGH SCHOOL AND MANITOWOC LUTHERAN HIGH SCHOOL Officer

2010-2011 SCHOOL YEAR

Officer Craig Jansen

2010-2011 has been an active school year for me thus far at Lincoln High School, but unfortunately, a computer crash of sorts caused me to lose records of my September incidents. Nonetheless, during the months of October through the first week of January, I have handled twenty-eight (28) truancy cases, thirty-one (31) incidents of harassment, twelve (12) petty thefts, six (6) minor acts of vandalism, two (2) drug offenses, four (4) cases of battery or abuse, two (2) episodes of students actively resisting arrest, and twenty-nine (29) incidents that I’ve lumped together into the categories of disorderly conduct, fighting, defiance, and threats or intimidation. Regardless of those numbers, every situation is dealt with promptly and accordingly, resulting in everything at Lincoln High School being completely under control as we march on to the end of the school year. Respectfully,

Officer C. Jansen School Resource Officer Lincoln High School

Training Division

Lt. Rob Barbier

You’ve all head the old sayings, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” or “You can pay me now or you can pay me later.” The first quote refers to it being much easier to take care of our bodies before we get sick, rather than to miss work and pay for doctor visits after we get sick. The latter quote is from an oil filter manufacturer referring to paying for an inexpensive oil change and filter on your car, or ignoring that minimal investment and possibly having to replace your cars engine after if fails from lack of maintenance.

Every week there are news headlines from across the country that read, “Police Training Programs Cut Due to Tight Budgets”, “Police Academy Shut Down-No Funds” or “Firearms Training Cut Due to Increased Cost of Ammunition”. Thankfully our Department Administrators and elected City Officials have the vision, foresight and courage to recognize the importance of proper police training and the foundation it builds in our department and our community. Regular in-service training sessions and specialized training classes are the relatively small investment of today, that help prevent the very costly lawsuits or officer injuries of tomorrow. The 2010 training calendar began the same as years past with our annual 3-day in-service training session. Day #1 started with our “60 minutes with the Chief “segment, followed by Deputy Chief Brennan reviewing the Standards of Conduct policy. Our Detective Bureau brought everyone up to speed on the latest changes to the rules governing evidence processing. The second half of the day, we learned about TraCs, the State of Wisconsin’s automated citation and written warning system that allows officers to print citations and warning slips in their squad cars, rather that write them out by hand. Day #2 started with a Legal update from District Attorney Mark Rohrer and Assistant City Attorney Kathleen McDaniel. Next, officers toured Lincoln High School in an effort to maintain their familiarity with the building layout, in the event of an emergency at the school. The Manitowoc Fire Department trainers provided CPR and AED re-certification training to our officers. We ended Day #2 with a presentation about the Police Departments response to a dangerous animal escape from the Lincoln Park Zoo. On day #3 we traveled to the City of Two Rivers for a full day of tactical training exercises utilizing the former Paragon Electric building. In the first segment we had a review and then practical exercises using O.C. (pepper spray) and also our Electronic Control Devices, (Tasers). We then took advantage of the vast office and hallway complex at Paragon by conducting tactical skills training on safely entering doorways, searching rooms, stairs and traveling hallways. We also spent time on Active Shooter Response. The day concluded with realistic scenarios that combined all of the skills officers learned earlier in the day, coupled with the added stress of live role players armed with Simunition guns and FX marking cartridges. Our Third Quarter Tactical training took place during the month of September. We were again outside utilizing our outdoor shooting range for an eight-hour block of training. Always trying to keep our training realistic, officers dress for the weather of the day. We work in the unpredictable Wisconsin weather, so that’s where we train. This training day included a classroom review of Deadly Force and then going outside the shooting range for numerous Pistol and Rifle Isolation Drills. We started the day focusing on basic shooting skills with the Glock .40 caliber handgun and the H&K G-36 .223 caliber rifle. After satisfactory completion of these stationary drills, we then added distance between officer and target, and after mastering that step, we added movement: forward, backward, and laterally.

50

In addition to the training provided “in-house” by our department instructors, the Manitowoc Police Department encourages officers to enrich their skills by attending specialized training courses offered outside our agency. Throughout 2010 Officers, Detectives and Supervisors attended training sessions around the state related to their prospective positions within the department. The training received during the year helps us fulfill the mission of the Police Department to work cooperatively with the community to prevent crime, maintain order, and provide a safe environment for everyone. Also the hiring of new officers for the Manitowoc Police Department is an extensive process. There are numerous steps involved in the hiring process and each candidate must receive a passing grade for each process. A candidate must do the following in order to be hired by the Manitowoc Police Department: ‰ Submit a written application to the Police Department ‰ Pass a written state examination ‰ Pass a physical agility assessment ‰ Pass a background investigation ‰ Pass two oral interviews, one with an internal panel and one with an external panel ‰ Receive a conditional offer of employment ‰ Pass a physical examination ‰ Pass a psychological examination

MOTORCYCLE PATROL UNIT The motorcycle unit ended the 8th year of existence for the Manitowoc Police Department. Officer Koenig was the newest addition to the motorcycle unit. Officer Koenig attended the motor officer school in Ashwaubenon, and successfully completed the course. Even with the addition of Officer Koenig, the unit stays at 9 officers. Resigning from the unit was Officer Leist. Lt. Charles Boldt

The motorcycle unit now consists of the following personnel: Officer Richard Ladwig Officer Brett Ver Velde Officer Lance Brux Officer Matthew Wallander Lt. Charles J. Boldt

Officer Jason Wilterdink Officer Paul Behrendt Officer Jason Koenig Lt. Mark Schroeder

Other than training for Officer Koenig there were no new expenses for the motorcycle unit. Officer Koenig was given equipment used by Officer Leist to round out his equipment need. There were 4 special events the motorcycle was used for this year. Officer Ladwig and Officer Wallander participated in the Special Olympics Torch Run. Lt. Boldt and Officer Ladwig lead the Memorial Day Parade. Lt. Boldt escorted the Manitowoc Human Society “Hogs and Dogs” Benefit. Officer Ver Velde did a presentation for the Manitowoc County Hog Chapter. 101 calls for service were responded to, 18 warning, and 6 citations were issued. Between the 2 motorcycles 1,655 miles were driven for patrol and special events. Respectfully submitted by,

BICYCLE PATROL UNIT There are many purposes for the bike patrol program. It allows officers to make numerous contacts with pedestrians and bicyclists. During these contacts officers educate the community about various laws and give safety tips. Bike officers also enforce ordinances and sometimes even do traffic stops. Using the bicycle to check area businesses for open doors/windows (security checks) is also frequently done by nightshift officers. The bicycles are also used for special events, to move quickly from one area of the event to another. The bike patrol program has added benefits that you cannot get with the standard patrol squad car or motorcycle. It costs nothing in gas and helps to maintain officer's good health by the exercise needed to operate the bicycles. There is very little cost in maintaining the bicycles. Officer Scott Keil continues to do an excellent job making sure the bikes are in excellent working condition and also making sure all the police equipment on the bikes are up to date and in working order. In 2010, Officer Monty Greene of the Two Rivers Police Department updated the current Manitowoc Police Department Bike Patrol Officers with annual training held at the Paragon building in Two Rivers. Also in 2010, we applied for and received a Bicycle Patrol Grant from the Bureau of Transportation and Safety. This grant was for $2,000. It was used to deploy extra bike patrol officers in the City of Manitowoc. We have applied for this same grant for 2011 and plan to use it in the same way.

In 2010, the Manitowoc Police Department deployed bicycle officers 43 different times. The total number of hours spent on bicycle patrol was 194.25 hours. During that time they issued 11 ordinance tickets, 63 written warnings, 99 verbal warnings, and 2 parking tickets. They found 17 open doors to local businesses. In addition they arrested 2 subjects for warrants and made 2 state charge arrests. 53

During that time they made more than 345 additional contacts other than warnings and citations. They also assisted other officers on 39 calls for a total of 19.75 hrs. In 2010, bicycle officers were often used to patrol the lighthouse, which had numerous acts of graffiti done to it on several occasions. At times bike officers were assigned to do building checks of the downtown area because of recent burglaries in that area. In addition, Bicycle officers made numerous checks of the city parks, Farmer’s Market, and Car Ferry. Currently, the bike patrol unit consists of the following personnel: 1st Shift Officer Larry Perronne Officer Brett VerVelde

2nd Shift Capt. Jason Freiboth Officer Yang Kue Officer Lance Brux

3rd Shift Capt. Larry Zimney Lt. Nick Reimer Officer Robert Bock Officer Matt Wallander Officer Scott Keil Officer Jeremy Kronforst

GANG UNIT

Capt. Larry Zimney Capt. Larry Zimney

The Manitowoc Police Department Gang Unit is coordinated by Capt. Jason Freiboth and Capt. Larry Zimney. Members of the Gang Unit include Officers Jen Kneeland, Jason Wilterdink, Matt Wallander, Bob Arps, and Detectives Mike Stone, Dave McCue, Andy Trilling, Jerod Lecher, Andy Trilling, John Bennette, Dave McCue, Mike Stone, Randy Vogel and Brian Swetlik.

Capt. Jason Freiboth

While the overall gang problem has subsided in 2010, there were still isolated gang related incidents that occurred in the City of Manitowoc. Because of these types of calls, we continue to identify and document gang related incidents. The Manitowoc PD Gang Unit continues to host bi-monthly gang meetings. Representatives from the Department of Human Services, Manitowoc Public Schools, Probation and Parole, and other Law Enforcement Agencies attend these meetings. We share gang related information to help us better monitor the movement and activity of known gang members. The following incidents are a brief summary of the some of the more serious problems that we encountered in 2010. January 2010 two (2) male subjects in their early 20’s spray painted graffiti on numerous commercial and public properties. Suspects were identified and numerous criminal charges were referred to the District Attorney’s Office. February 2010 three (3) junior high school students attempted to start a new street gang called Mafia Brotherhood. They began drawing their gang’s symbol and talked about tagging to get their name known but nothing further developed. May 2010 we had several Immortals Motorcycle Club members physical assault a bar patron. Motorcycle Club members were very uncooperative throughout the investigation. Ultimately the main suspect was charged with Substantial Battery. May 2010 during a Probation and Parole ROPE visit, officers discovered numerous White Supremacist jewelry and paraphernalia. June 2010 we continue to come in contact with more and more individuals who claim to be Juggalos and Juggalettes. The majority of subjects appear to be fans of the music group Insane Clown Posse, but Juggalos on the national level have been classified as an organized crime group with violent tendencies. Local Juggalos stole a motorcycle and entered unlocked vehicles stealing property. A Manitowoc resident physically assaulted a Two Rivers resident with a sword and claimed that an Insane Clown Posse song was repeatedly going through his mind during the attack. The number of persons associating with the ICP logos common to Juggalos and Juggalettes, continues to rise in the area and the Two Rivers PD has also identified persons claiming to be Juggalos from their city and from the Mishicot area. MTPD also assisted TRPD with a traffic stop near the city line where Juggalos from the Green Bay/De Pere area were arrested for Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Deliver. 55

July 2010 a local Asian Gang Member was sentenced to one year in prison and two years of extended supervision for his role in a shooting outside of Studio 8 nightclub. He also received 18 months of additional confinement for shooting a gun in the air during an altercation in Outagamie County. Respectfully submitted,

S.W.A.T. TEAM (Special Weapons and Tactics Team) The overall purpose of a SWAT team is to deal with situations that standard patrol officers can't handle due to the need for specialized equipment, number of officers needed to carry out a mission or due to special and unusual situations. Deploying SWAT teams can save officers', victims' and even suspects' lives. All SWAT officers are Police Officers and are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In order to become a SWAT member, you first have to put in an interest memo stating that you are interested in becoming a SWAT team member. In that memo, you have to put why you want to be a SWAT officer and your qualifications. When there is an opening, the Sheriff’s Department conducts testing for that position. The testing consists of oral board style interviews, physical fitness testing and a firearms qualification. The physical testing is strenuous, but is similar to what SWAT officers have to do for their duties. These duties include wearing 60 plus pounds of equipment and climbing into high places, running with equipment and carrying or dragging bodies as a few examples. When the SWAT team is called out, there is a supportive group that is called in with the SWAT team called negotiators. Although this is a supportive function of SWAT, negotiators play a very important role. Negotiators are Officers who are trained to talk to people who have taken hostages or want to hurt themselves. In most callouts, negotiators are deployed with the team and their training is just as complex as a SWAT team members. Currently, Manitowoc Police Department has two negotiators that work with the SWAT team. Currently there are three (3) Manitowoc Police Department SWAT Officers at the Manitowoc Police Department. This historically was not the case, but due to cooperation between Administration and the Manitowoc SWAT Officers in flexing schedules, more opportunity has been created by adding two positions at no extra cost to the Police Department. In 2010, Manitowoc Police Department SWAT Officers trained approximately 78.25 hours and participated in 8 SWAT call outs, in which 4 of the requests were made by the Manitowoc Police Department. This training included room clearing (deliberate and dynamic), firearms, field movement, use of night vision, active shooter response, team movement, shield use, smoke deployment, and chemical agents. The SWAT team also trained with the United States Coast Guard and Point Beach Nuclear Plant. The SWAT Team utilizes different locations for training including Washington School, Manitowoc County Court House, Manitowoc City Hall and other numerous unoccupied factories and houses. The following personnel from the Manitowoc Police Department are current SWAT or Negotiator Officers:

CANINE UNIT Deputy Chief Bridget Brennan was instrumental in obtaining money through various grants to help create the Manitowoc Police Departments first K9 unit. Captain Rick Habeck was tasked with doing the research on various kennels for training, equipment, and K9 breeds. The K9 unit is currently assigned to 3rd shift and is supervised by Captain Larry Zimney. In April, Officer Jeremy Weber was selected as the departments’ first K9 handler. Off Weber was sent to Stenig Tal Kennel in Campbellsport, WI where he was Officer Weber and Aik paired with K9 Aik (pronounced “Ike”), a 2-year old male German Shepard. Aik is a “dual purpose” K9, which means he his trained in apprehension, tracking, building and area searches, and drug detection. Officer Weber and Aik trained for 4 weeks at Stenig Tal Kennel before becoming certified for road work and began patrol duties in early May 2010. To save cost, a fully marked patrol car was converted from a normal patrol car, to a car capable of safely transporting Aik and equipping it with the necessary equipment needed for patrol duties. Since Officer Weber and Aik have started their patrols, Aik has been used to search 4 schools, 13 vehicles, and 1 home for drugs. Aik has also been used in tracking suspects 12 times, locating 6 of them, making 8 apprehensions and called to assist other agencies 9 times. Officer Weber and Aik logged 47.9 hours of training time while on duty, and Aik was deployed for 22 hours on various calls. The MTPD K9 unit has mutual aid agreements with all agencies in Manitowoc County, and also responds to assist Kewaunee, Calumet, and Door counties when requested. Officer Weber and Aik train frequently with both of the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Department K9 teams, as well as with other departments throughout the year. Officer Weber and Aik also get certified yearly at Stenig Tal Kennel, through Fox Valley Technical College in all patrol and drug disciplines. Aik is also assigned with Officer Weber as a member of the Manitowoc County Special Operations Squad. Respectfully submitted,

PAWS AND CLAUS POLICE K9 FUNDRAISER   On Friday, December 10, 2010, the first Paws and Claus police K9 fundraiser was held at Charcoal Grill and Rotisserie. The event was organized to raise donations for the Manitowoc Police Department’s second K9 Unit. Officers spoke with customers prior to their meals about the need for the second K9, how it will be used, and how the public can do their part to help with funding. Donations were received in the form of cash or check donations, event t-shirt sales, and Charcoal Grill contributed 10% of the evening’s sales. The requests for donations for the police K9 accounted for the “Paws” in the title and the “Claus” included the evening’s very special guest, Santa Claus. The event was an overwhelming success. Donations through cash or check totaled over $1500. Charcoal Grill donated $770 from the evening’s sales. Charcoal Grill Managers Ed Feller and Chris Foresta (pictured above) presented Manitowoc Police Chief Tony Dick and Police Officer Jason Koenig with the check. All donations will offset the $50,000 needed over the next 5 years to maintain both of the department’s police K9 Units. The Charcoal Grill management has already requested the return of the Manitowoc Police Department for the second annual Paws and Claus in 2011.

Manitowoc’s Chaplain Program The genesis of the Manitowoc Chaplain Program was in January 2009. The concept of the Chaplain Program came from Police Chief Tony Dick. Chief Dick was familiar with two (20 other Chaplain Programs and he believed that the public, the Police Department, and the City of Manitowoc, would benefit from the implementation of a Chaplain Program. Chief Dick asked Lt. Steve Eckley if he Lt. Steve Eckley would be willing to help establish the Manitowoc Chaplain Program. Lt. Eckley accepted the challenge and established contact with area churches in an effort to get clergy members to become volunteer Chaplains in the Program. After several organizational meetings, eight (8) local clergy members volunteered to become Chaplains for the Chaplain Program. The Chaplains are Pastor Roger Harrison of the Open Bible Baptist Church, Pastor Greg Howard of the New Beginnings Baptist Church, Pastor James Klein of the St. John’s United Church of Christ Church, Pastor Brett La Chappelle of the Hope Community Church, Pastor Nick Maglietto of the Immanuel Lutheran Church, Pastor Dick Runge of the First Reformed United Church of Christ Church, Pastor Matthew Sauer of the First Presbyterian Church, and Pastor Paul Schossow of the Immanuel Lutheran Church. The Chaplains created the following mission statement for the Chaplain Program: The Mission of the Manitowoc Chaplain Program is to work cooperatively with the Manitowoc Police Department and the Manitowoc Fire Department in order to enhance their Missions by giving timely support through spiritual comfort, hope, and wisdom. In 2010, the mission has been expanded to include the Chaplains working cooperatively with the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Department and the Manitowoc County Coroner’s Office. The Chaplains are a resource to our community members in their time of need. During times of crisis, the Chaplain/Clergy Team is available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, to aid our citizens or just to provide a Ministry of Presence. In February of 2010, the Chaplains participated in an eight-hour block of training with certified chaplain trainer Greg Young. This round of training Greg Young focused on compassionate death notifications, dealing with suicides, and what it takes to be a successful Chaplain. The plan is to have regular training sessions for the Chaplains. In 2010, presentations about the Chaplain Program were made to the Manitowoc Police and Fire Commission and to the Manitowoc City Council. Both of those entities endorsed the formal implementation of the Chaplain Program. The Officers and Office Staff of the Manitowoc Police Department were formally introduced to the Chaplain Program via a Power Point presentation and handouts. The Dispatchers at the Manitowoc County Joint Dispatch Center were also introduced to the Chaplain Program. The Chaplain Program formally began on August 1st, 2010. Since that start date, Chaplains were called out on six different occasions in 2010. All six incidents involved death notifications or investigations. Three of those call-outs were in the City of Manitowoc and three were in the rest of Manitowoc County. Over all we are please with the growth and maturation of the Chaplain Program in 2010. In 2011, we hope to continue those two processes to make the Manitowoc Chaplain Program an even more effective tool. Respectfully submitted, Lt. Steve Eckley Chaplain Coordinator 60

Noon Rotary – Citizen of the Year The Manitowoc Police Department received a phone call on February 19, 2009 from a woman who was trapped in her car on Johnston Dr. by a dog (a pit bull) that was circling the vehicle. When officers arrived they found the victim out of her vehicle and the dog a short distance away. The dog approached the officers and quickly went into attack mode. Denise Beyer

Prior to the officer’s arrival, Denise Beyer, a neighbor, saw what was happening and went outside to assist the victim. She took a rug for protective and yelled at the dog to go home. The dog turned and charged Beyer chasing her into her home, but giving the victim in the car enough time to get out and get into her home.
