Police Department

POLICE DEPARTMENT
MISSION STATEMENT: To provide the highest level of service and protection to the community and to cooperatively enhance public safety as the department progresses into the future.

The department has a proud history of service to the community. The largest division within the City, the police department has an authorized 2005 full-time workforce of 122 sworn officers and 48 civilians. In addition, there are about 55 part-time positions including reserve officers, crossing guards and clerical staff. The department also utilizes volunteer programs, which are a very important part of the overall public safety effort.

Although focused on front-line law enforcement, the department is also engaged in important community partnerships with schools, businesses and citizen organizations. Before "Community Policing" became a dominant standard in law enforcement, the department conducted successful community-oriented programs, including a sign-language child safety program and an educational program in elementary school. The department has garnered outside awards honoring our SHOP senior volunteer program, domestic violence victim advocate, numerous sworn officers, and our overall excellence in community policing.

The men and women of the department strive to provide the highest level of service and protection for the community. To that end, the department is divided into the three major divisions below.

PATROL DIVISION: About two-thirds of all sworn officers work in this division, which focuses on patrolling city streets, answering calls for service, and identifying potential crime problems. This division includes a Special Weapons and Tactics (S.W.A.T.) response unit (a specialized enforcement unit to handle high-risk situations), reserve officers, and award-winning SHOP senior volunteers, who perform non-hazardous duties to free up sworn officers. Under the Community Service Area Policing program, four dedicated lieutenants and their crews are assigned a specific quadrant of the City and tasked with resolving public safety concerns for residents, neighborhoods, and businesses. This division also incorporates two subdivisions:

Traffic Unit: This unit provides enforcement of traffic laws, targeted enforcement at school and other sites, parking enforcement, crossing guard services, and traffic investigations.

Simulator Program: This provides West Covina police officers (and outside agency clients) with cost-efficient Driving and Use-of-Force training, and brings in POST training revenue.

INVESTIGATIVE & SUPPORT SERVICES DIVISION: This division is responsible for the investigation of all major crimes and providing follow-up services. For almost any crime victim to obtain justice in our courts (i.e., for a suspect to be convicted), the detectives in this division have to conduct intensive follow-up and prepare cases for the district attorney. Certain officers are involved in specialized interagency task forces, and the department's award-winning domestic violence victim advocate is assigned here. This division also incorporates a subdivision:

Special Enforcement Team (SET): Comprised of personnel who focus on parolee monitoring, gang enforcement, narcotics, the Crime Free Multi Housing Program, and intelligence, the Special Enforcement Team (SET) works an irregular schedule to quickly mobilize and tackle neighborhood crime problems raised by community members or police officer observation. SET is the street enforcement arm of the investigative division.

ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISION: This division oversees the centralized administrative functions of the police department, and includes the records department, the Professional Standards and Training (PS&T) section, the Property and Evidence (P&E) unit, all School Resource Officers (SRO) and community education staff, and the Chief of Police and support staff. This division also incorporates two subdivisions:

Jail Operations: This unit processes all arrests, oversees all prisoners, and coordinates all jail operations.

West Covina Service Group (WCSG): The West Covina Service Group supplies Computer Aided Dispatch and Records Management System (CAD/RMS) service to West Covina and client agencies, as a revenue generating enterprise.

FY 2004-2005 ACCOMPLISHMENTS

The department continued to focus on front-line law enforcement and crime prevention activities to improve public safety. West Covina police officers work efficiently and effectively, actively responding to over 200 calls a day, and ranking among the busiest in Los Angeles County. The department's per capita cost of providing police services remains among the lowest in Los Angeles County, among similar sized departments.

West Covina police officers tailor operations to meet the need of the City. Police officers implemented special patrol and traffic services at key shopping locations during holidays, and also continued successful parolee monitoring efforts designed to reduce crimes committed by repeat offenders. As traffic issues were of special concern, the department created and instituted Neighborhood Parking Protection Zones (NPPZ) to target problematic areas of violations and congestion, and also increased parking citation fees. Municipal code sections concerning traffic ordinance involving juveniles, traffic signals, and commercial trucks were amended to improve enforcement.

Certified police personnel expanded the nationally-praised GREAT anti-gang program, which has proven popular with local schools. The department's award-winning SHOP (Seniors Helping Our Police) program continued to keep costs down by channeling the efforts of dedicated senior volunteers to perform non-hazardous public safety duties that would otherwise burden field officers. The department's victim advocate was honored by Congresswoman Hilda Solis for assisting domestic violence victims and their families. The department also obtained new grants to further traffic enforcement, domestic preparedness, and to meet safety equipment needs.

Further information is detailed in the Performance Measures section.

FY 2005-2006 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The department's operational goals and the specific objectives they encompass are all geared toward the City Council's goal of maintaining public safety.

Continue to focus on the core mission of providing front-line law enforcement services to the community in 2005, while minimizing the impact of local and state budget issues.

Maintain staffing levels of front-line officers.
Explore opportunities to add officers while minimizing General Fund costs.

Work to reduce crime by a percentage greater than the state and regional average for similar sized communities in 2005.

Maintain front-line police programs and required skills/training.
Avoid fads and trendy programs unless their crime reduction or public safety value has been clearly demonstrated.

Continue aggressive monitoring efforts led by the Special Enforcement Team.
Provide training in this area to make certain that the individual rights of citizens are carefully observed.

Improve traffic enforcement in problematic intersections, and citywide, in 2005.

Achieve a measurable reduction in collisions at problematic intersections.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

BUDGET COMMENTS

Responding to City directives, the department's budget is now split into three divisions and several sub-divisions/units.

Many single-purpose, restricted grants have concluded or will conclude shortly, as the state and federal governments redistribute funding based on their new priorities. Despite funding cuts at the federal and state levels, the department continues to aggressively pursue grant opportunities.

BUDGET ISSUES

Police department staffing is still a serious issue. Despite having added sworn positions through grant funds and technical civilian positions to work on the WCSG CAD/RMS expansion, the police department still ranks toward the bottom ranking in both the ratio of officers to citizens, and the ratio of civilians to citizens, in southern California. In 2003, West Covina was still 22 officers behind the Los Angeles County median ratio. Having been reduced by two sworn and one civilian positions, West Covina is now farther behind. In soliciting federal funding requests on February 18, 2003 (City Council Agenda Item B-3c), the City cited the need to add at least five police officers and three community service officers.

Installing digital video cameras in patrol cars would benefit West Covina. As utilized by many police departments across the nation, these cameras capture true accounts of what actually occurs during traffic stops, pursuits, etc., to counter any allegations of misconduct. Additionally, cameras would witness and record actions of specific interest to the courts, as well as any officer-involved uses of force.

AUTHORIZED POSITIONS

1 Three officer positions were created under the COPS Universal Hiring Program (UHP) Grant, with the mandatory cash match coming from state SLESF grant funds, as previously budgeted and then approved by the City Council on October 15, 2002 (Item C-4e).
2 As detailed in the WCSG Business Plan (approved by the City Council on January 21, 2003), the expansion of the WCSG allows for up to 9 positions in any combination. In 2003, a sworn Corporal was replaced by a civilian position.
3 One sworn position was added under the ABC alcohol enforcement grant on July 1, 2003. As approved by the City Council, the position was automatically eliminated at the end of the grant.
4 As detailed in the WCSG Business Plan (approved by the City Council on January 21, 2003), the expansion of the WCSG allows for up to 9 positions in any combination. In FY 2003-04, an additional senior software developer was added.
5 The adopted FY 2004-05 budget approved the elimination of 1 corporal and addition of 1 sergeant, who will then reduce overtime expenditures by providing coverage on regular time for the sergeant and lieutenant ranks.
6 The adopted FY 2004-05 budget eliminated two SRO previously assigned to crime prevention and youth education programs at local schools.
7 The adopted FY 2004-05 budget eliminated the criminal justice research analyst.
8 On December 7, the City Council authorized the addition of one computer services technician to WCSG.
9 The part-time victim advocate was created and funded under a state grant which concluded in June 2002, after when the position was budgeted and retained using local funds (General Fund and CDBG).

* Full-time vacancies at the beginning of this fiscal year were five sworn positions and three civilian positions.
** FTE vacancies at the beginning of this fiscal year were six reserve officers, and two parking enforcement officers.
