WICKLIFFE POLICE DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT

To provide the public with effective and professional law enforcement while treating all people with dignity and respect.

WICKLIFFE POLICE DEPARTMENT 2012 Annual Report

LETTER OF INTRODUCTION Randy E. Ice, Chief of Police I respectfully submit this volume of reports and activities transacted by the police department for the calendar year 2012. The statistical reports, graphs, and charts contained in this annual report show the patterns of crime, incidents, and other activities responded to by the police department this year. The police department tracks fourteen categories of serious crime from year to year. This year two categories remained the same while six saw an increase and six saw a decrease in activity. The only category that had a noteworthy increase was narcotics arrests with an increase of twenty-eight percent. Significant crimes worked on in 2012 include three robberies and three rape/sex crimes. In April, a home invasion robbery occurred on Rickey Lane where a seventy-three year old victim was kidnapped and assaulted by three suspects. All three suspects, two men and one woman have been arrested and are under indictment through the Lake County Common Pleas Court. At the conclusion of this investigation one of the suspects was found to be an acquaintance of the victim which proved to be pivotal in solving this crime. In May, Chase Bank on Euclid Avenue was robbed by a male who was addicted to heroin. After searching for the suspect for a week he was located and arrested and has pled guilty to robbery and is now serving an eight year prison term. In December, the Subway restaurant on Euclid Avenue was robbed by a male and female, both with heroin addictions. They were arrested by Wickliffe Detectives and are now awaiting trial. It should be noted that these two suspects were also implicated in two robberies in the City of Willoughby and one in Highland Heights. Throughout the year our department investigated three rape/sex offenses which resulted in prison terms in two of the cases with the third case awaiting trial. Lastly, a seven-year old burglary was solved through DNA evidence in 2012. The police department received a burglary complaint on Craneing Road in 2005 which initially went unsolved. As part of the crime scene processing we recovered the suspect’s blood from a piece of broken glass which was broken during the break-in. The Lake County Crime Lab was able to create a DNA profile from the blood we submitted and they stored that information into a DNA database for future comparison in the event we developed a suspect. This past fall a male was arrested in the City of Euclid for felony theft and in compliance with new Ohio law his DNA was collected and entered into a DNA database. That DNA sample was automatically compared against other DNA profiles stored in the database which resulted in a hit confirmation of the sample we submitted in 2005. The suspect was arrested by our department based on the DNA hit and he has subsequently confessed to the seven-year old burglary and sentenced to prison time.

Disp. Donald Stein congratulates retiring Ptl. Donald Johnson

The police department experienced changes in fulltime and auxiliary staffing as well as special assignments in 2012. Patrolman Donald Johnson retired in May after serving the community for twenty-five years. Auxiliary Patrolman James Kane retired in August after serving for more than thirtythree years. Jim’s longevity is especially noteworthy as many of his hours worked were done as a volunteer. With Patrolman Johnson’s retirement and the retirement of Detective Walsh in November of 2011 the Wickliffe Civil Service Commission held a patrol entrance examination in April. The result of that test provided for the newest hires in the police department, Patrolmen Kevin Ankuda and James Smith; both have completed the field training program and are working in solo patrol.

WICKLIFFE POLICE DEPARTMENT 2012 Annual Report K-9 Officer Steve Shum and his canine partner Rex have worked together as a team helping to combat illegal narcotics within our city for nine years. On December 31, 2012, after a long and productive career, Rex was retired and Patrolman Shum will maintain ownership of Rex in his retirement. Special assignments were updated in three different areas; emergency response team, hostage negotiation team, and the detective bureau. Patrolman Robert Kuhse was assigned as a tactical officer to the Western Lake County Emergency Response Team replacing Patrolman Steve Shum who stepped down from the team. Sergeant Manus McCaffery, Patrolmen Mark Sopko and Brett Peeples were assigned as hostage negotiators on the emergency response team and Patrolman Daniel Moreland has been assigned to the detective bureau replacing Jamie Walsh. Congratulations to all of these officers for accepting additional responsibilities in their efforts to keep Wickliffe safe. Unfortunately, this past June one of our sergeants suffered a heart attack and other health issues that have prevented him from working; he remains off-duty convalescing in hopes of returning to full duty. Sergeant Bush has been temporarily moved out of the detective bureau to cover the platoon supervisor vacancy created by the sergeant on sick leave. The capital improvement fund maintained by the city assists the police department with maintaining upto-date modern equipment for our police officers as we serve the community. This year as in past years the city administration provided those needed funds for police equipment. This year the police department purchased two replacement marked zone cars, both are the new design police interceptors to replace the older out of production Ford Crown Victoria. Other equipment purchased through capital funds included; body armor, computer upgrades, detective bureau surveillance equipment, ERT equipment, lunch room renovations, jail improvements, mobile data terminals, police/city hall cameras and eight new replacement patrol rifles. Additional equipment was purchased through the police department Law Enforcement Trust Fund which included one marked police interceptor SUV, K-9 maintenance, fitness equipment, and narcotics investigation money. All the money generated through the Law Enforcement Trust Fund is done through forfeitures from narcotics and OVI enforcement activities and not through any form of taxation. In conclusion I want to thank Mayor Margalis and City Council for their continued support of the police department. The men and women of the police department are motivated by this support and are prepared to provide professional law enforcement to our community now and into the future.

WICKLIFFE POLICE DEPARTMENT 2012 Annual Report

DETECTIVE BUREAU REPORT Patrick Hengst, Detective Lieutenant The Wickliffe Police Department Detective Bureau is responsible for follow-up investigations of felonies and certain misdemeanors. We are assigned to various shifts, Monday through Friday, and are on call at all other times. Detectives are responsible for the investigation of felony criminal offenses, maintenance of the warrant validation files, and the management of NCIC fingerprint files and FBI/BCI criminal identification files. We maintain complete daily records of liquor permits, authorized gambling events, and criminal case disposition records. Other duties include: processing crime scenes, securing evidence (processing or facilitating the processing by forwarding it to the Lake County Crime lab), managing the property room and evidence room, and completing record expungements. I have been assigned as the officer in charge of the detective bureau since January of 2008. Detective Don Dondrea is assigned to the unit and is responsible for conducting investigations into general felony offenses. Detective Sergeant Jon Bush is also assigned to the unit, and he focuses on narcotics cases while assisting in the management of the detective bureau and with general investigations. Secretary/Specialist Sandra Aker continues as a part of the unit, handling fingerprint and BCI files, as well as preparing documentation and paperwork to assist in the prosecution of Wickliffe PD cases. Sandy is also an accomplished sketch artist; a skill she uses to assist in Wickliffe police cases, as well as cases for other police agencies throughout northeast Ohio. In September of 2012, Sandy generated a sketch of a suspect who sexually assaulted a teenage girl at one of the Cleveland Metroparks. A Cuyahoga County Prosecutor saw the sketch and realized that the man in the drawing was a suspect that had been prosecuted for a prior sex offense. As a direct result of the sketch and identification, the suspect was arrested. In September of 2012 Detective Sgt. Bush was temporarily re-assigned to the road patrol division and assumed the duties of managing a patrol shift. This was in response to the shortage of a patrol supervisor as a result of sick leave and retirements. In October of 2012 Patrol Officer Dan Moreland was selected as a new detective to replace Det. Jamie Walsh who retired in 2011. Det. Moreland is a welcome addition to the bureau and is off to a good start, conducting several noteworthy investigations. Worthy of special mention, Detectives Moreland and Dondrea arrested a man and a woman for committing armed robberies at the Subway Store in Wickliffe, a Zeppe’s Pizza Shop in Highland Heights, and at TNT Tanning and Tye Dye Sky, both in Willoughby. Each suspect is facing numerous charges related to the four robberies; and the charges are a direct result of the hard work and determination of Detectives Moreland and Dondrea.

Detective Dondrea performs Computer Voice Stress Analysis testing for the police department. The CVSA is similar to a polygraph, and we use this technology in both criminal investigations and to perform background checks on police and fire department applicants. In 2012, the detective bureau performed several CVSA tests in criminal investigations, as well as numerous tests to assist in the hiring of two fulltime police officers, and several part-time firefighters. - 15 -

WICKLIFFE POLICE DEPARTMENT 2012 Annual Report

The detective bureau investigated 85 significant cases in 2012, down from 107 cases in 2011. Part of the reason for the decrease in investigations was manpower shortages as the department went through the process of testing, selecting, and training two new patrol officers. As a result, the detective bureau was forced to work short-staffed for most of the year, and patrol officers were forced to increase the amount of follow up investigations that they normally conduct. Detectives also had to prioritize cases worked, focusing largely on reactive investigations. Of the 85 cases investigated, 43 were cleared by arrest (with 1 arrest pending), and 17 were cleared by exceptional means. In total, 61 of 85 cases have been cleared, giving the detective bureau a clearance rate of 71.76%, which is above the national average. Noteworthy investigations for 2012 include the arrest of three suspects involved with a home-invasion armed robbery that occurred on Rickey Lane in April. In that case, a female friend of the homeowner allegedly set up the crime and then staged her own kidnapping. Numerous charges are currently pending against the suspects involved. Also, John Caputo was arrested and convicted for robbing the Chase Bank in Wickliffe, as well as robberies at four other area banks. This investigation spanned several weeks and involved the teamwork of the Wickliffe, Willoughby, Willowick, Eastlake, Cleveland, and East Cleveland Police departments. In closing, I would like to thank the members of the detective bureau for their thoroughness, hard work, and dedication; Chief Ice for his leadership and support; and Mayor Margalis and City Council for their continued support of the investigative efforts and technologies that we provide to the citizens of this community.

WICKLIFFE POLICE DEPARTMENT 2012 Annual Report

JAIL REPORT Manus McCaffery, Sergeant The Wickliffe City Jail is a twelve day facility that consists of eight jail cells. Four of these cells are designated for male prisoners and two cells are designated for female prisoners. Two cells are designated for those prisoners who are under the influence of alcohol or narcotics, suicidal, security risks or require an increase in surveillance. The jail does not hold arrested juveniles. During the year of 2012, the jail held 542 prisoners who were held on bond, waiting for arraignment or court appearances, or serving court ordered sentences. 63 of the prisoners were held on various felony charges and 479 prisoners were held on misdemeanor charges. Prisoners spent an average of 12.1 hours in the jail and the average daily population of the jail was 1.4 prisoners. 388 males and 154 females were housed in the jail during this period. Per Wickliffe Policy, a jail officer is responsible for checking on the welfare of each prisoner every hour and provides for their needs. Prisoners are fed three times a day and can receive snacks between meals. Meals are purchased by BJ Wholesale Club and US Foodservice, a provider of meals to other jail institutions and hospitals. Meals are prepared in the jail kitchen. A video arraignment system is in place whereby prisoners “appear” before a Willoughby Court Judge from the jail office via a computerized teleconferencing system. A confinement expense reimbursement program has been instituted. Those prisoners able to pay can be ordered by the court to pay up to $65.00 per day for their stay in the city jail. In 2012, Wickliffe received $6,704.40 in jail confinement reimbursement fees collected by the Willoughby Municipal Court.

WICKLIFFE POLICE DEPARTMENT 2012 Annual Report

SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER REPORT Isaac Petric and Brian Lako, Patrolmen/SRO In 2012, the Wickliffe Police Department continued its coordination efforts with the Lake County Juvenile Court, Prosecutor’s Office, and the Wickliffe City Schools (both public and private). Supervision of the program is handled by Ptl. Petric’s and Ptl. Lako’s platoon sergeants. Ptl. Petric and Ptl. Lako handled numerous types of calls for service ranging from assaults and harassment to traffic control for the elementary school Halloween parade. The SRO program is best summed up as follows. If the courts, schools, and police form a triangle, then the SRO is at the center of the triangle. The SRO’s purpose is to facilitate communication between these three groups. The following are some examples of how the relationship benefits all three organizations in the triangle. If an administrative investigation reveals criminal activity in the school, that principal contacts the SRO. The SRO can then access police resources to conduct the investigation. The SRO knows the standard required to prosecute a juvenile criminally and can advise the principal if such conditions are met. Another example is if an investigation starts off of school grounds, it may lead to the discovery of inappropriate activity that had occurred in one of the schools. In some instances, school administrators are better equipped to handle such problems that do not require police action. The SRO’s are an effective tool in preventing crime in and around the schools by making unscheduled visits to the schools and maintaining patrols in and around the school properties during the day, as well as at night. Another aspect of the SRO program is working closely with our Community Policing Officer, Ptl. Randy Veri. The CPO and SRO programs will continue to cooperatively serve our schools, residents and businesses. Ptl. Petric and Ptl. Lako would like to show our appreciation to Mayor Margalis, City Council and the school’s administrators, teachers, staff, and students.

WICKLIFFE POLICE DEPARTMENT 2012 Annual Report

EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM Patrick B. Hengst, Detective Lieutenant The WESTERN LAKE COUNTY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM (ERT) is comprised of police officers from the cities of Wickliffe, Eastlake, Willoughby, Willoughby Hills, Willowick, Waite Hill, and Kirtland. Assigned officers are volunteers who perform the duties of the team in addition to their regular assignments. Representing the City of Wickliffe on the team are Lt. Pat Hengst, Sgt. Jon Bush, Det. Don Dondrea, Ptl. Jim Coolick, and Ptl. Bob Kuhse. There were a few changes to the ERT in 2012, as Ptl. Steve Shum retired from the team after 19 years of service, and Ptl. Bob Kuhse was selected as his replacement. (left to right) Tactical: Ptl. Robert Kuhse Negotiators: Sgt. Manus McCaffery Ptl. Mark Sopko Ptl. Brett Peeples

The primary duties of the team involve serving high-risk search and arrest warrants, handling barricaded subjects and hostage situations, and handling any other high risk situations that require a tactical resolution. In addition to the tactical component of the team, there are several negotiators who specialize in finding peaceful solutions to stressful and sometimes violent situations. Representing the City of Wickliffe as negotiators are Lt. Joe Matteo and Sgt. Mike Kuyasa. In 2012, three additional Wickliffe officers were selected as negotiators for the team; Sgt. Manus McCaffery, Ptl. Mark Sopko, and Ptl. Brett Peeples. The ERT was utilized six times in 2012. Two of the incidents involved search warrants, both in the city of Wickliffe. The two warrants were in connection with a marijuana trafficking case, and resulted in significant seizures of marijuana, cocaine, and money. In March of 2012, the ERT was called to a Willowick home after an intoxicated male fired 25 shots from two different handguns in his backyard. SWAT officers eventually made entry into the house and found the male passed out in a bedroom. He was arrested without further incident. The ERT assisted the Mentor Police SWAT Team on two occasions in the summer of 2012. The first incident involved a man with a gun who ran from police and hid under the porch of a home. Western Lake County ERT officers were in the process of relieving Mentor SWAT officers, who had been on scene for some time, when the suspect surrendered. The second Mentor incident involved an armed suspect who fired several shots from a rifle and refused to exit his home. Western Lake County ERT members assisted Mentor by providing OC and CS gas rounds which were fired into the home by the Mentor SWAT team. The suspect eventually exited the house and was arrested. Finally, the ERT was called to assist the Willoughby Police in October of 2012 after a resident of an apartment complex threatened suicide with a handgun. The male eventually surrendered to ERT officers without incident. The ERT team continues to strive for a high level of training so that dangerous incidents may be handled in the safest manner possible. The team conducts regular monthly training days, as well as a week-long session of firearms training conducted in October at the Camp Perry, Ohio National Guard Base in Port Clinton. In the fall of 2012, the ERT team took delivery of a robot capable of searching the interior of houses and other structures. The robot allows officers to get “eyes and ears” inside a structure, without putting officers at risk. This key piece of equipment was purchased for the team by the Willoughby Hills Police Department, using forfeited drug money. In closing, I would like to thank Mayor Margalis, Wickliffe City Council, and Chief Randy Ice for their continued support, which allows members of the ERT to provide the community with the best possible services. - 28 -

WICKLIFFE POLICE DEPARTMENT 2012 Annual Report

CANINE (K-9) UNIT SUMMARY Stephen J. Shum, Patrolman and K9 Rex In 2012, the Wickliffe K9 Unit was deployed at least twenty-four times for narcotics searches. Rex alerted seventeen of the twenty-four times. Of the seventeen alerts, some type of narcotic was located. Most alerts resulted in an arrest for marijuana, but commonly abused prescription medication, heroin and syringes were also located during the subsequent searches. Rex assisted Mentor Police Department in seizing over $13,000 in drug money. Rex retired from his patrol duties December 31, 2012 after 9 years of service to the City. I wish to thank Mayor Margalis, the Wickliffe City Council, Chief Ice and all the members of the Wickliffe Police Department for their support for this program.

WICKLIFFE POLICE DEPARTMENT 2012 Annual Report

POLICE MOTORCYCLE Robert P. Valko, Lieutenant The Motorcycle Unit is used for traffic enforcement, community policing/relations, service. Each summer, the police department receives a number of citizen complaints regarding driving violations and loud radios from vehicles throughout the city, particularly on side streets. The motorcycle is an excellent tool in these situations. The Unit also pays particular attention to areas within the city where a majority of the traffic crashes tend to occur and works toward changing driving behavior through traffic law enforcement. Personnel assigned to the Motorcycle Unit are Lieutenant Robert Valko, Sergeant Joseph Thompson, and Patrolmen Leonard Nosse, Brian Lako, and Anthony Regnier. The Wickliffe Police use a 2010 Harley-Davidson FLHP Road King motorcycle (MC-1).

Ptl. Anthony Regnier at the Memorial Day Parade

Traffic law enforcement is the primary focus of the Unit. Officers issue citations which cover a wide variety of violations. In 2012, the top 5 violations, in order, were: Speeding, Improper/Illegal Vehicle Licensing, Making Illegal Turns, Operating an Unsafe Vehicle, and Reckless Operation. Criminal code violations were also enforced by the Motorcycle Unit. These included arrests for Possession of Dangerous Drugs, Possession of an Open Container in a Motor Vehicle, and Contempt of Court (Warrant). The Unit and MC-1 participated in six noteworthy community events in 2012. The first was the annual Sgt. Joseph Thompson at the annual bike rodeo Greater Cleveland Peace Officers Memorial Parade in May. The second, also in May, was the annual Law Days community policing event at the Great Lakes Mall. The third was Wickliffe’s annual Memorial Day Parade. The fourth was the Wickliffe PD Bike Rodeo in June, a community policing event to promote bicycle safety, licensing, and fun. The fifth, in August, was the Doc’s Deepwood Bike Run, a charitable, fund-raising event for Deepwood Center in Mentor. The last event was the Wickliffe High School homecoming parade in October. The Unit also participated in three adjacent-community funeral processions: In June, for former Willoughby Hills Police Chief Robert Goodwin; in August, for United States Army Sergeant Louis Torres; and, in September, for Willoughby and Cleveland Clinic Patrolman Jason Gresko. In 2013, the Unit will continue its mission to be proactive in traffic enforcement, to maintain a more visible presence in the City parks, to be responsive to calls for service, and to assist with community events as needed. I would like to thank the Motorcycle Unit members for their hard work and dedication to our mission, and Chief Ice, Mayor Margalis, and City Council for their continued support of the Motorcycle Unit. - 30 -

WICKLIFFE POLICE DEPARTMENT 2012 Annual Report

POLICE BICYCLE PATROL Manus McCaffery, Sergeant The Bicycle Patrol Unit gives the Wickliffe Police Department the ability to patrol neighborhoods, parks and other areas with its unique capabilities. The Bicycle Patrol Unit uses these unique abilities to protect the city parks, city property and other areas from vandalism and to keep the parks safer for citizens to use during the summer months. The unit also assists with community policing details. The Bicycle Patrol Unit can also assist with city ceremonies, parades and special activities. The Bicycle Patrol Unit assists with crowd control and traffic control during these events. During 2013, the Bicycle Patrol Unit assisted with crowd control and traffic safety during the 4th of July celebrations and fireworks. On Memorial Day, the unit assisted the city parade with crowd control, traffic safety and escorted the Honor Guard. Also, the bicycle unit assisted during the Bike Rodeo.

WICKLIFFE POLICE DEPARTMENT 2012 Annual Report

COMMUNITY POLICING Randy J. Veri, Patrolman During the year of 2012, along with my regular patrol duties, I performed the following duties as the Wickliffe Police Community Policing/Crime Prevention Officer. Karen Smith conducts OVI intervention classes for people that are arrested and have to spend 3 days in her program. I was contacted by Karen to speak to 12 adults about the importance of OVI arrests and why police make them. Also numerous questions regarding field sobriety testing and other arrests that have been made in the past were answered. Throughout the 2012 school year, I went to the elementary schools and spent time in the lunchrooms with the younger children and handed out toys, pencils, McGruff at the Memorial Day Parade erasers, etc. I completed the 3rd grade seatbelt program for Mater Dei, Wickliffe Elementary and All Saints schools. Money for each student that was taught the program was given to the city by ODPS. I will continue to do the 3rd grade seatbelt program in the years to come due to the positive response received from the parents and school faculty members. During the spring of 2012, a 5K charity event was held in the city. We closed down several streets that morning and had over 300 runners complete the 5K without any problems. The Law Days event was held at Great Lakes Mall, and we had officers man the booth set up for people to stop by and get pamphlets and ask questions about our department. The police motorcycle was also on display for people to look at during the event. We received a lot of positive feedback from patrons at the mall on that day, and the children loved sitting on the motorcycle while their parents took pictures. Throughout the summer months, I attended most of the events that were held by the city and the summer camps. I taught kids at the Coulby day camp about “Stranger Danger, attended the fishing derby at Coulby pond, and completed a safety program at both of the Safety Town classes at Wickliffe Elementary School. The annual Bike Rodeo was held at the Wickliffe Recreation Center, and the children had a lot of fun. This event is one of the “favorites” for the children in our city and each year it ends with a cookout with prizes to give away. The community policing office participates in many City activities such as movie nights, holiday parties, as well as block watch meetings held at the police department throughout the year. It is very important for the police department to be represented at these positive events and it could not be possible without the support and assistance of the men and women of the police department. Thank you to Chief Randy Ice, Mayor Margalis and Council for their continued support of the Community Policing Office.

WICKLIFFE POLICE DEPARTMENT 2012 Annual Report

TRAINING Robert P. Valko, Lieutenant Training highlights for the 2012 season include: Ptl. Daniel Sabruno and Ptl. James Coolick completing a 40-hour course to become the Department’s newest field-training officers. These officers will be responsible for training and coaching any newly-hired police officers; Sgt. Manus McCaffery completing an American Red Cross course to become the department’s next CPR/First Aid/AED instructor; Ptl. Robert Kuhse completing a 40-hour Basic SWAT course after becoming the newest member of the Western Lake County Emergency Response Team; Sgt. Manus McCaffery, Ptl. Mark Sopko, and Ptl. Brett Peeples beginning hostage negotiation training after becoming the newest members of the Western Lake County Crisis Negotiation Team; Crash investigators Ptl. Daniel Rosen and Ptl. Isaac Petric completing an advanced, 40-hour course in Vehicle Dynamics; and, Bomb Technician Ptl. Anthony Regnier attending a 6-week Hazardous Devices School Basic Course. This last course was provided cost-free through local and federal Homeland Security funding Within the patrol division, we complete a core of courses essential to the patrol function. This core includes: The Reid Technique of Interview and Interrogation; Emergency Vehicle Pursuit and Response Training; Street Survival; Firearms, Arrest, and Survival Tactics (F.A.S.T.); and, Radar/Laser Certification. Additional, elective training courses are attended based on department needs and officer specialization. Within the communications division, we maintain a core of updated training and techniques essential to the dispatching function. It includes: Law Enforcement Dispatch, Fire Service Dispatch, Emergency Medical Dispatch, Hazardous Materials Response, Suicide Intervention, Domestic Violence Intervention, and 9-1-1 Liability. We have incorporated computer-based training for biennial re-certifications in Law Enforcement, Fire Service, and Emergency Medical dispatch. This has proven to be cost-effective and less disruptive to manpower scheduling, while still providing the most up-to-date training material available. A new law, House Bill 262, was signed by Governor Kasich on June 27, 2012. This legislation requires that all peace officers in the state receive training on 1) recognizing human trafficking victims and offenses; 2) collaborating with victim service providers; 3) providing safety for and protecting the rights of trafficking victims; and 4) prosecuting violations of Trafficking in Persons. All Wickliffe police officers completed this mandated training by the end of the year.   During 2012, 28 full-time police officers, 2 part-time police officers, 8 full-time dispatchers, and 1 administrative secretary attended training schools or seminars to update or enhance their skills and knowledge in various disciplines. Fifty-six (56) schools or seminars were completed, covering twelve months of the year. In addition, through in-service training, all police department employees completed the biennial recertification in CPR/First Aid/AED. A chronological listing of all schools attended follows. On behalf of the Wickliffe Police Department, I would like to thank Chief Ice, Mayor Margalis, and City Council for their recognition of the importance of training and for their continued support in allocating the funds necessary to maintain a well-trained and professional police organization.

WICKLIFFE POLICE DEPARTMENT 2012 Annual Report

CORE VALUES Honesty Honesty is demonstrated over time and in a variety of situations. It is a series of behaviors that the officer has demonstrated over time that has gained the trust of others through establishing himself/herself as straightforward and sincere. This credibility has been developed through the absence of such counterproductive behaviors as: rationalizations, forgetfulness, and shading the truth. The officer is willing to admit fault and correct mistakes as quickly as possible. Sense of Urgency The officer assertively approaches tasks or situations with immediate action. A sense of urgency is demonstrated most obviously by the officer’s prompt response to all calls for service. Officers should possess a sense of urgency about completing investigations, conducting follow-ups, returning phone calls, responding to pages, etc. The officer approaches all aspects of the job in an eager manner. Attention to Detail Attention to detail is demonstrated by a constant awareness to the myriad of variables that come into play due to the nature of the job. This attention to detail not only serves as a defense mechanism (e.g., recognition of the 10 deadly errors) but also drives the officer to strive for perfection in each task the officer performs. This attention to detail ensures that all tasks are completed correctly the first time; including filling out and completing forms and reports. Team Oriented A team-oriented individual realizes that each officer contributes to the group effort; however, it is the collective efforts of the members that assures the overall goals of the Wickliffe Police Department are achieved. The officer works with others as a team member and strives not for individual recognition but for the recognition of the group. Team players demonstrate this value by providing back-up and offering assistance to others without being told or asked. Professionalism The officer who exhibits professionalism does so by performing his/her duties in an exemplary manner for others to follow. By possessing this skill and experience, he/she has made a commitment to excellence. Specific traits that the professional officer demonstrates include punctuality, courtesy, politeness, compassion, respect for others, and projects a well-groomed and able image.

Adaptability The adaptable officer can quickly adjust and perform job duties in extreme, unknown, and ever-changing conditions. This officer anticipates change and promptly adapts. Adaptability is characteristic of officers who are able to prioritize and handle many tasks simultaneously through the use of divided attention skills. The officer is able to compromise and follow through to the successful completion of a task. Self Discipline The self-disciplined officer has an internal control system that allows him/her to function independently without constant supervision. This officer is accountable for his/her actions. The focused officer recognizes the job that needs to be done and does it well, regardless of how “unpleasant” it may be. He/she is not unduly influenced by outside factors which may be a detriment to job responsibilities. Selfdiscipline allows the officer to project the positive image of and respect for the department at all times. Performance Driven The officer is driven to work hard as evidenced by the quantity and quality of services provided to the public. The officer strives to stay busy throughout his/her shift; continually looking for ways to support the objectives of the department. The performance driven officer effectively uses traffic enforcement and criminal arrests to save lives and to protect the public. Officer Safety The safety conscious officer demonstrates a high level of awareness in every situation. Through this awareness the officer realizes the potential risks associated with the job (e.g., recognition of the 10 deadly errors). He/she is proactive so as to guard himself/herself, as well as others, from potential dangers. He/she is physically fit enabling the officer to meet the demands of the job. Officer safety is predicated on the willingness of an individual to improve his/her skills through training. Leadership A leader is someone who consistently exhibits the core values of this organization and is willing to take command of situations, when appropriate. Although leadership is expected of supervisors, every officer can demonstrate leadership by selflessly taking the responsibility to lead in difficult situations. Leadership is also the ability to stand up for what is right, alone if necessary, even when the decision is not “popular”.
