Executive Summary2009 Edmond Police Department Annual Report
The Edmond Police Department is again pleased to present its
Annual Report to our City and its Leaders. The Police Department, and
as a result the City, enjoyed a very successful year in 2009 with regard
to crime and safety. We continue our goal of delivering Trustworthy
Service to the Community by working to keep our crime rates low.
Below are some highlights:
Crime Ranking
The Edmond Police Department’s 2009 Report again shows •
why Edmond, Oklahoma is one of the premier communities
in the country. The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports released in
2009 – for calendar year 2008 – indicates that Edmond is the
10th Safest City in the United States for cities above 75,000 in
population. This number was derived by comparing the Violent
Crime Rates of other cities throughout the United States. This
year (2009) Edmond saw an increase in Violent Crimes – from
80 to 95 - which will cause an uptick in our Violent Crime Rate,
but our Property Crimes showed a decrease of one crime when
compared with 2008. The net increase in total Part One Crimes
for 2009 will be .75%, which is statistically insignificant.

Calls for Service and Contacts with the Public
For 2009 we had a total of 30,176 Calls for Service, and there were 5,499 Officer Initiated Calls, •
as well as 26,084 Traffic Stops. These total 61,759 Officer responses or 169 calls/contacts per
day. It should be noted that our total Calls/Contacts were 191 per day in 2008, but for most
of this year we were down 10 Officer positions.
Strength
The current authorized strength of the Department is 116 sworn and 30 non-sworn personnel. •
We have had no increase in authorized sworn positions for two years. We currently have three
vacant Officer positions, but we do not intend to fill these and other vacancies during the year
due to budgeting constraints. We were able to put on our first Edmond Police Department
Basic Academy on July 20, 2009. This Academy was highly successful and graduated nine
Officers to fill then existing vacancies. In addition we were able to form the Office of Budget
and Professional Responsibilitiy to improve greatly the effectiveness and efficiency of the
Department.
This year will go down as another successful year for the Edmond Police Department. This
success is attributed to the professionalism of the men and women of the Edmond Police
Department combined with the great support that we receive from our community.

[BUDGET & PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY]
[CAPTAIN LARRY CAMPBELL]
The Office of Budget and Professional
Responsibility was created in June of 2009.
The primary tasks of this office are to provide
oversight for the Police Department’s budget,
administrative investigations and internal
audits. This position works out of the Office
of the Chief and also oversees Crime Analysis,
Planning and Research and Uniform Crime
Reporting for the Department. These functions
were previously performed out of the Special
Services Division but were brought under the
Office of the Chief to improve efficiency.
This also allows us to prepare for Commission
on Accreditation for Law Enforcement
Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) accreditation once
we attain accreditation through the Oklahoma
Association of Chiefs of Police.
Budget
The funding for the Police Department is
defined by the City of Edmond Public Safety
Sales Tax Ordinance of 2000. The section of
that ordinance which details revenue sources for
Police Department operation is cited below:“Future funding for the Police Department shall, at a minimum, be set at an amount equal to the projected revenues generated by the tax established by this Ordinance ( 1/8 of 1%), plus the baseline funding equal to 36.8% of the General Fund revenues. General Fund revenues are those which currently come from the following sources: taxes, licenses and permits, fines and forfeitures, charges for services, interest and miscellaneous revenues. Expenditures will not be charged against the public safety tax revenues until said 36.8% General Fund revenues have first been used or encumbered.”
The Edmond Police Department budget is
divided between the Special Services Division,
Patrol Division, Criminal Investigations
Division and the Animal Welfare Unit. This was
done to allow better tracking and forecasting of
expenses for the various operations within the
Department. The Edmond Police Department
9
budget for FY 09/10, as adopted in June of
2009, was $17,341,142. This is separated into
five different budget categories. These include:
Personnel Services, Materials and Supplies,
Other Services and Charges, Capital Outlay
and Transfers.
The Personnel Services portion of the
Police Department FY 09/10 budget was
$13,100,188. This accounts for 75.54% of the
total budget. This pays the salaries and benefits
for all Department employees, both uniformed
and civilian.
The Materials and Supplies portion of
the Police Department FY 09/10 budget was
$721,425. This accounts for 4.16% of the
total budget. Out of this we pay for fuel for
Department vehicles, ammunition, uniforms,
body armor, technical investigation supplies
and all the other materials needed to allow the
Police Department to operate.
The Other Services and Charges portion of
the Police Department FY 09/10 budget was
$529,810. This accounts for 3.06% of the total
budget. With this money we pay the utilities
for the five Police Department buildings,
maintenance and repair of the buildings
and equipment, consulting and professional
services, contract services and other services
and charges incurred during the operation of
the Department.
The Capital Outlay portion of the Police
Department FY 09/10 budget was $67,300.
This accounts for .39% of the total budget.
This pays for capital equipment needed by
the Police Department. Capital Equipment is
defined as those assets with a value of over
$5,000 and a life expectancy of over two years.
Capital purchases were limited this year because
of concerns over declining revenue.
The Transfers portion of the Department FY
09/10 budget was $2,922,419. This accounts
for 16.85% of the total budget. These are the
allocations from other city departments which
provide services to the Police Department. The
largest portion, $1,854,697, of these allocations
goes to Administrative Support. This covers
the Police Department portion of the cost for
Dispatch, Human Resources, Finance, Facility
Maintenance and other city departments. The
Police Department Insurance Assessment,
$376,255, is also paid out of the transfers. The
other two areas of the Transfers cover the cost
10
to maintain and replace our vehicle fleet. The
vehicle maintenance portion of the Transfers
was $335,500 and the Fleet Lease Assessment
was $355,967.
Although our budget is $17,341,142 we have
direct control on a much smaller portion. Our
Personnel Services expenses and allocations
together total $16,022,607 and accounts for
92.4% of the total budget. This leaves us with
$1,318,535, 7.6% of the total budget, to buy
the necessary supplies and services to operate
the Department and provide law enforcement
services to the residents of Edmond.
EJustice
One of the major projects completed this
year has been the upgrade of the Department’s
record management system - EJustice. This
project was started in 2008, and the upgrade
took place in July of 2009. This was a major
upgrade, from version 7.0 to 9.2, and many
hours of work went into it to ensure as few
problems as possible. With the help and
patience of many individuals throughout the
Department, the upgrade was completed and
most of the problems were resolved within the
first week.
Crime Analysis
The Crime Analysis
and Intelligence Section
responds to internal
information requests as
well as from external
sources, such as City
Council Members, various city departments and
others. Officer safety and intelligence bulletins
are distributed to assist Officers in performing
their duties. New crime analysis software was
installed, and personnel began familiarizing
themselves with its capabilities.
11
Planning and Research
The Planning and Research Section
worked throughout the year researching new
equipment for the SWAT team, Dive Team,
Patrol Division, Special Services Division and
others. One major project was the locating and
evaluating of a contractor who could outfit
new patrol cars with the emergency equipment
needed to make them operational. The city
garage had been taking about a week for each
vehicle at a labor cost of about $3,000 per
vehicle. A vendor was located which could
prepare one car every day at a cost of $650 per
vehicle. We started utilizing that vendor in the
fall of 2009.
Uniform Crime Reporting
The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)
clerk for the Police Department filed the
monthly reports of both offenses reported and
clearances. With the upgrade of the EJustice
Records Management system this year, we
moved the responsibility for the completion of
the UCR data on all incident reports from the
officers to the supervisors. This has increased
the accuracy and consistency of the data being
collected and reported on the Department’s
monthly UCR report.
12
[CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS][CAPTAIN THERESA PFEIFFER]
The Criminal Investigations Division
(CID) is responsible for follow-up investigation
of criminal incidents reported to the Edmond
Police Department. These investigations cover
a wide range of crimes from simple property
crimes to homicides, rapes and other major
crimes. CID Investigators are specially trained
in interviews and interrogations. They receive
advanced investigations training in white-
collar crime, cyber crime, sex crimes, crimes
against children, auto theft and narcotics.
CID Technical Investigators (T.I.) are
responsible for advanced forensic crime scene
investigation. T.I. Rockie Yardley and Christy
Meadows additionally operate our digital
imaging resources.
2009 brought many successes and
challenges. CID reviewed over 6,500
incident reports and assigned over 1,500
to investigators for further follow-up
investigation. These reports ranged from
homicides to petty thefts. CID investigated
two homicides in 2009, and in both cases
investigators were successful in filing
murder charges on the suspects involved.
CID maintained a clearance rate of 44% of
assigned Part One Crimes.
13
Investigations into crimes against
children and cybercrimes continued to be
successful. Cyber-fraud and white-collar
investigations continued with success in joint
investigations with Federal agencies in debit/
credit card fraud. CID has two investigators
assigned to Federal task forces involving the
DEA and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task
Force.
The Criminal Investigations Division
continued to update our vehicle fleet and the
Department procured a TOTAL GPS mapping
tool. CID and the Traffic Unit received
extensive training on its use. The TOTAL unit
allows detailed GPS mapping of crime scenes
with computer models. Detective Jeff Hancock
retired with 25 years of service and Detective
Chad Langley was promoted to Sergeant and
assigned to patrol. Officers Marion Cain and
Jason Stearns were promoted to Detective and
joined our Division. Detective Stearns was
voted Officer of the Year at the 2009 Citizens
Patrol Academy Association Annual banquet.
Detective Tony Newsom and Detective
Greg Hunt continued a focused effort,
working a full time assignment, in narcotics
investigation. The unit investigated 123 cases,
served 23 search warrants and made 83 arrests.
The investigations involved narcotics from
prescription drugs to mobile meth labs.
14
The Patrol Division is the largest, most
visible Division in the Department. Its primary
responsibility is to patrol the city limits of
Edmond, respond to calls for service, assist its
80,000 plus residents throughout the city and
to detect and deter criminal behavior within its
87.5 square miles.
Presently we have 84 officers assigned to
the Patrol Division: 1 Captain, 3 Lieutenants,
10 Sergeants and 70 Patrol Officers. Officers
are assigned to one of three patrol shifts or the
Traffic Unit, Lake Patrol or the Edmond Public
Schools. Of the 70 Patrol Officers – Nine are
“Recruit Officers” in training. That is, they are
currently assigned to a Field Training Officer
and will be released to solo duty in March,
2010.
Response Times:
One of our goals is to be able to respond
to emergency calls within 3 ½ minutes.
In 2009 our response times were:
Average Response Time to Emergency calls:
4 min. 03 sec.
Average Response Times to Non-Emergency
calls: 7 min. 01 sec.
CFS are considered Emergency calls where
there is a high potential for serious injury to
a person.
The response times to our emergency CFS
increased from 3:14 in 2008 to 4:03 in 2009.

[PATROL][CAPTAIN TIM DORSEY]
In addition to the dispatched CFS there were 5,499
officer initiated calls and 26,084 traffic stops.
15
The Traffic Unit has participated in
several campaigns receiving many awards and
recognitions. They have participated and
been recognized by the Oklahoma Highway
Safety Office and awarded with the Buckledown
Award; participated in a traffic enforcement
operation with the Oklahoma County Sheriff ’s
Department at Arcadia Lake; participated in the
National Drinking/Driving Enforcement campaign;
participated in Click It or Ticket campaign; and
conducted two Motorcycle Survival Safety
Courses.
Traffic:
As one can see from our CFS, traffic related
calls are one of our most common incident
types. In an effort to increase traffic safety, we
will continue our education and enforcement
efforts. We will also continue to utilize
unmarked vehicles for traffic enforcement.
These vehicles have been a valuable tool in
This is due to the fact that we had 10 less Patrol Officers working in 2009.

Traffic Accident Reduction Project (TARP)
TARP is a grant program from the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office (OHSO). The OHSO
TARP Grant pays for our officers to work overtime at designated areas throughout the city in
an effort to reduce traffic crashes. Officers monitor and enforce all traffic ordinances but pay
particular attention to seat belt, child restraint, DUI and speeding violations.

Alive at 25
Motor vehicle crashes are the #1 cause of
death for people in the 16-24 age groups. In
fact, 3 out of 4 deaths in this age group are
caused by traffic crashes.
The Edmond Police Department Traffic
Division, in partnership with the Oklahoma
Safety Council and the Edmond Municipal
Court, teaches the “Alive at 25” driver education
program. The course is delivered in a four hour
program which focuses on the behaviors and
decision-making young drivers and passengers
display behind the wheel. Instructors hold
candid conversations with students about what
can happen if they practice risky behavior or
make other poor decisions in an automobile.
Some of the areas they discuss are impaired
driving, underage drinking, speeding, peer
pressure, driver distractions, fatigue and the
fear of being caught. They are instructed on
decision making, taking control and personal
responsibility. These behaviors and their
implications are explored in-depth through
a combination of discussions and interactive
teaching tools. The course is a court-ordered
directive to drivers in this category who have
violated City of Edmond traffic ordinances.
2009 was our 2nd year to conduct Alive at 25
training. The number of classes our officers
taught dramatically increased over 2008.
In 2009 our instructors held 24 Alive at 25
classes, training 571 students. In 2008, 211
young drivers attended Alive at 25.
Motorcycle Survival Course - $150,000
Grant
In addition to the annual TARP grant
funded by the Oklahoma Highway Safety
Office, the Edmond Police Department has
been awarded a $150,000.00 grant to conduct
a state-wide Motorcycle Survival Course.
18
The purpose of the course is to educate and
train motorcycle riders from across the state,
providing them with skills to safely operate
a motorcycle on the streets and highways of
Oklahoma. The EPD Motorcycle Unit will
continue to host at least two Motorcycle Survival
Courses at the Edmond Fire Department
Driving Facility, as well as a course in the Tulsa
area and one in the Lawton area. The course
offers students classroom instruction and
an opportunity to improve their riding skills
while under the supervision of certified Police
Motorcycle Instructors.
The $150,000.00 funding will be used to
purchase a 2010 Dodge Ram 4x2 Quad Cab
Diesel truck, a 32-foot box trailer to be used
as a portable classroom and two 2010 Harley
Davidson Road King motorcycles. The
funding will also be used to purchase video
equipment, computers, tables, chairs, traffic
cones, and many other items necessary to
take the Motorcycle Survival Course on the
road, including salary reimbursement to the
Department for the instructing officers.
The Edmond Police Department
was awarded this grant over all other law
enforcement agencies in the state.
19
Edmond Public Schools, it has become more of
a priority to increase our presence at the schools.
Patrol Officers have dramatically increased their
presence in the middle and elementary schools.
Police Officers are patrolling both inside and
outside school areas more than ever before, and
they have been issued detailed maps and floor
plans of all Edmond Public Schools. In 2009
our officers made 2,630 interior and exterior
school visits.
We also work closely with the University
of Central Oklahoma Department of Public
Safety in hopes of continuing to provide a safe
environment on their campus.
Arcadia Lake:
There are 26 miles of shoreline around
Arcadia Lake, and in 2009 officers actively
patrolled the lake paying particular attention to
individuals swimming, with a special emphasis
on children. Officers issued 289 citations for
School Resource Officers (SRO) and
Officers Presence in Edmond Public
Schools:
SRO’s are provided additional education,
training and certification. Currently we have
six officers assigned to the Edmond Public
Schools on a full-time basis. Officers are
assigned to each of the high schools, one to
Boulevard Academy and two to the middle
schools.
As the country continues to see, and the
schools continue to experience school violence
incidents, we have taken a proactive approach
to make our schools a safe environment for
our children. By working with the staff of the

“Child Swimming without a Personal Flotation
Device” and 3 citations for “Child Swimming
Unsupervised”.
The 289 citations for “Child Swimming
without a Personal Flotation Device” was
nearly double of that issued in 2008 where 162
citations were issued.
The most positive statistic from Arcadia
Lake in 2009 is there were zero drownings,
compared to 2 drownings in 2008.
Enforcement on I-35:
Interstate 35 is known as a primary corridor
for illegal activity in the United States. In an
effort to reduce criminal activity and increase
the safety of those traveling on I - 35 through
our city, officers are assigned to work the I – 35
area as available.
Below are the 2009 Enforcement numbers on
I-35.
Hours worked: 1,184
Felony Arrests: 25
Misdemeanor Arrests: 50
Number of Traffic Stops: 1,457
Citations Issued: 177
Written Warnings Issued: 1,374
Assist Other Officer: 120
Assist Other Agency: 32
Motorist Assist: 277
Social Host Ordinance:
In an effort to reduce underage drinking,
the Social Host Ordinance was passed in 2007.
Edmond was the first city in the state to pass
such an ordinance, and since that time many
other cities in the state have passed a similar
21
law. In 2007 our officers issued 71 citations for violations of the Social Host Ordinance.
In 2008 we issued 42 citations for the year, and in 2009 our officers issued 39 Social Host
citations. These numbers reflect our officers’ enforcement efforts against underage drinking are
working, and we will continue to enforce aggressively the Social Host Ordinance in 2010. We
know continued education and enforcement of this ordinance will reduce underage drinking in
our city and promote a safer environment for our younger drivers.
Patrol Officer Involved Vehicle Crashes:
In 2009 our officers drove over 1,250,000 miles. We had 10 “At Fault” crashes with most of
these being minor in nature. Our goal is to reduce the number of Officer “At Fault” crashes in
2010. All officer involved crashes are reviewed for fault, and a directive is given. Also, officers
continue to receive annual training in Emergency Vehicle Operations. Pursuits are closely
monitored by on duty supervisors and reviewed by Lieutenants and Command Staff.

Patrol Personnel:
In 2009 the Patrol Division worked with fewer officers than previously. Ten Recruit Officers
were hired in July 2009, spending the remainder of the year in training. Nine of these officers
completed the Recruit Training and will complete Field Training in March 2010. These officers
will then be assigned to patrol shifts. The addition of these officers will increase our visibility,
22
improve response times and allow officers to conduct more preventive patrols. With these
additional officers, we will be able to fill two Motorcycle Officer positions that were vacated in
2009. The filling of these two positions will increase our traffic enforcement efforts.
Currently we have three vacancies in the Patrol Division. These vacancies are due to
officers retiring and their positions have not been filled. We also expect two or three more
Patrol Officers to retire by the end of 2010. We have not increased our authorized staffing levels
for the last two years.
Our primary goals in Patrol for 2009 were:
Reduce the number of Larcenies. We were successful in accomplishing this goal as 1.
larcenies dropped from 1,369 in 2008 to 1,321 in 2009.
Respond to Emergency Calls within 3 ½ minutes. We did not meet our goal in this area. 2.
Average response times to emergency calls in 2009 were: 4:03. Being down 10 officer
positions during the year had an adverse effect on our response time.
Reduce the number of fatality and injury collisions: The number of injury collisions 3.
declined in 2009 (431) and the number of fatality collisions (4) was the same as we had
in 2008.
Increase child safety: We increased our presence in the schools with six SROs, trained 571 4.
students through Alive at 25, Social Hosts violations decreased from 42 to 39, increased
swimming citations from 162 to 289 at the lake and had zero drownings at the lake.
Goals for 2010:
Respond to Emergency Calls for Service in 3:30 minutes or less.1.
Reduce the number of Officer “At Fault” crashes.2.
Increase the number of “School Visits”.3.
Reduce the number of Auto and Business Burglaries.4.
5. Increase DUI enforcement.

[SPECIAL SERVICES]
The Edmond Police Special Services
Division, consisting of the Training
Unit, the Animal Welfare Unit, Records
Management, Crime Prevention, Jail
Operations and Property/Evidence Control
experienced several significant successes
and opportunities during the 2009 calendar
year.
Probably the most significant success
for both the Division and the Edmond Police
Department in general was conducting our
very first Edmond Basic Police Academy. The
Academy consisted of 20 weeks of complex,
comprehensive and intensive training. Whereas
historically when recruits graduated from the
State’s basic police academy, they returned
untrained in many basic skills necessary for an
Edmond Police Officer to begin field training;
however, the nine new police recruits who
graduated from our inaugural Academy were
thoroughly prepared to begin their hands-on
training in the field. The 760 hours of training
the cadets received covered a broad spectrum
of police skills; not only did they receive in-
depth training in customary tactics such as
report writing, driving and shooting, but they
also studied less typical topics ranging from
immigration law and victimology to identity
theft and bloodstain analysis, producing
arguably the most highly trained group of police
recruits in the history of the Edmond Police
Department. Another great testament to the
[CAPTAIN NICKI SMITH]

In 2009, OSU veterinary medical students
began conducting on-site sterilization surgeries
for adoptable dogs and cats at our Animal
Welfare shelter. This is a tremendous benefit
to preparing animals for adoption as well as
providing the students with valuable training.
By the end of the year, 309 spay and neuter
surgeries had been performed at our facility.
Through various efforts such as the 2nd
annual Adopt-a-Thon and working with rescue
groups, the adoption rate held steady despite
the economic climate.
caliber of training the cadets received is that
the State’s police academy, CLEET (Council
on Law Enforcement Education and Training)
has adopted our curriculum model to revise
their course of instruction.
Other components of the Special
Services Division discovered avenues where
they could either improve upon existing
practices or offer new services. A powerful
new training program was launched entitled
QPR – Question, Persuade and Refer, which
deals with suicide prevention and intervention.
The fall 2009 Citizen’s Police Academy class
boasted the largest enrollment in the program’s
11 year history. Recruiting efforts for the
police officer positions generated almost 200
applicants – the largest applicant pool in the
last 13 years. These are just a few of the many
accomplishments of the Division in 2009.
As we begin a new year and a new
decade, the Special Services Division will
continue to seek opportunities to enhance
our services to both the community and
the Edmond Police Department. We look
forward to the opportunities that await us.
