KENNEWICK POLICE DEPARTMENT “Committed to Your Safety” ---PAGE BREAK--- Page 4 About Kennewick—Our Demographics Kennewick is the largest community of the Tri-Cities (Kennewick, Pasco, Richland) covering more than 25 square miles, and is one of the fastest growing cities in Washington. Kennewick is the retail hub of south- eastern Washington and northeastern Oregon. In ad- dition to the many outdoor activities, Kennewick is home to the indoor football team Tri-Cities Fever, the Western Hockey League Tri-City Americans, and Southridge Sports and Events Complex a 52 acre multiuse development and state of the art sports com- plex. The complex is also home to the 9/11 Memorial, which displays a 30ft. steel beam recovered from the World Trade Center Twin Towers. Kennewick (Kin-i- wak) is a native word meaning “Winter Paradise” and “Grassy Place.” Kennewick Police Department 211 W. 6th Avenue P.O. Box 6108 Kennewick, WA 99336 (509) 585-4208 Incorporated in 1904 Population: 75,160 Sales Tax: 8.3% Business licenses: 4,557 Full-Time KPD Employees: 107 93 Commissioned 14 Civilian Southridge Sports Complex Construction of Kennewick General Hospital ---PAGE BREAK--- Page 5 The City of Kennewick increased to over 75,000 residents in 2012. Our community remains the retail hub for southeastern Washington bringing our daytime population to a much higher service population. This past year we continued implementing many changes in the police department and with our Federal partners to meet the growing demand for service. Our City Council authorized three additional police officers in the 2013 budget to balance out our four patrol squads. Our Administrative Assistant Linda Spier moved over to City Hall as the City Clerk for the City of Kennewick. While Linda will be greatly missed, we were fortunate to have Blanca Reyna transfer over from the Fire Department and fill our Administrative Assistant position. The Pasco Police Department added a Detective to the FBI’s Violent Gang Task Force which is housed in the Kennewick Police Depart- ment. The addition by Pasco is another resource both in manpower and intelligence. We have de- veloped a closer collaboration with the Drug Enforcement Administration with our Metro Drug Task Force which should produce greater results in 2013. With the passage of Initiative 502 (marijuana law) and the continued violence surrounding drugs and criminal gang activity we have evaluated our current K-9 program with the retirement of one of our police dogs. In 2013 we are looking at obtaining a fully certified narcotics canine in order to be successful at drug interdiction and curbing the associated violence. With the increase in population over the last year and the ongoing challenge of dealing with criminal gang activity our major crime was reduced from 38.9 crimes per thousand in 2011 to 35.6 crimes per thousand in 2012. Each year since 1994 our crime rate has continued to decline bringing our crime rate down to the lowest level in over three decades. Our success can be attributed several things: Most important is our partnerships and collaboration with our citizens Our support from our City Council, City Manager, and the other Departments in the City of Kennewick The strong local law enforcement support for each other throughout the Tri-Cities Our State and Federal partnerships and relations the we have fostered The relentless dedication by the men and women of the Kennewick Police Department who continue to live up to our motto of “Committed to Your Safety” Our 2012 annual report is dedicated to Councilman Bob Olson who has served the Citizens of Ken- newick for over 25 years as a Councilmember. Mr. Olson is also responsible for facilitating the funding for the Kennewick Police Station which was built in 2008 and allowed us to develop numer- ous partnerships with the FBI, Department of Corrections, and Child Protective Services along with many others. Thank you to Mr. Olson for having the foresight to bring a core tool to the Police De- partment. Chief Ken Hohenberg 34 Years of Service ---PAGE BREAK--- Organizational Chart Page 6 ---PAGE BREAK--- Page 7 The Administrative Services Divi- sion is comprised of several units which include Youth Services, Crime Resistant Community Living, the Evidence Unit, Crime Stoppers, Crime Prevention, Citizens Helping in Police Services (CHIPS), Pro- fessional Standards/Internal Af- fairs, Support Services, Training/ Quartermaster and the Animal Control Authority. Sergeant Mark Weber oversees internal affairs follow-up, employment background investigations and administers polygraph tests. Our Department was originally Accredited in 2004. Accreditation recognizes best practices in polic- ing. Accreditation is an on-going process and we are scheduled for re-accreditation in 2014.

The CRCL program is designed as a partnership among law enforcement, property owners/managers and residents to help keep drugs and other criminal activity out of residen- tial property, thereby maintaining the quality of our communities and neighborhoods. Several years ago Kennewick Police partnered with Richland Police Department in hosting two Landlord Training Seminars. In 2012, 62 property owners/managers graduated from the CRCL program bringing the total graduates since 1999 to over 850. During 2012 we held Community Watch Meetings at various Kennewick properties. It is evident that the properties that participate are more likely to notify police when there are problems at a residen- tial complex. Kennewick Police keep landlords aware of problems allowing them to address issues with problem tenants. Homes, Highlander Apartments, Clearwater Bay, and Clearwater Square Apartments are just a few of our participating properties. This past year 4,177 incident notifi- cations cards were sent to landlords in order to keep them informed of police activity at their proper- ties. Anytime a Level 2 or Level 3 Sex Offender registers at a Kennewick address we hold an informa- tional meeting at the Kennewick Police Station. We partner with the Support Advocacy & Resource Center (SARC) at these meetings. We maintain open communication with other regional law en- forcement agencies to assist in monitoring offenders to keep citizens informed. Throughout the year we verify the address of level 3 offenders quarterly. We also verify level 2 of- fenders at least twice a year and level 1 annually. As a result of monitoring these offenders 14 cases were investigated for failing to register with 13 of those cases resulting in criminal prosecution. Level 1 Offenders: 177 Level 2: 14 Level 3: 9 Level 1: considered least likely to reoffend Level 2: considered somewhat likely to reoffend Level 3: considered most likely to reoffend Registered Sex Offender Monitoring Playground at the Souridge Sports Complex 2010 2011 2012 3,328 4,484 4,177 Incident Notification Cards 2010 2011 2012 58 41 38 Notices of Drug Activity ---PAGE BREAK--- Page 9 Crime Prevention and Crime Stoppers 2012 was another busy year for Crime Prevention. We continue to work toward partnering with the com- munity in many ways to create a safer community. Our collaboration with community and business or- ganizations allow us to emphase that preventing crime is everyone’s responsibility. In 2012 we introduced a new method of delivering our “Kennewick Police Briefing” through a free ser- vice provided by “Nixle”. You can sign up for this on our city website. Working with the Parks and Recreation staff we hosted the first combined National Night Out and City Night at the Southridge Sports Complex. This event is an opportunity for residents to come to- gether. Other Activities: Completed Chauffer and Alarm Dealers guide for City Hall Customer Services and Police Support Specialists. Assisted Southridge Sports Complex with camera system project. Created a Robbery Prevention and Survival Program for newly privatized liquor stores. Established new fund raising program for Tri Cities Crime Stoppers “Cars for Crime Stop- pers” raising over $10, 000 and removing old vehicles. Updated “Alterative Reporting of Shoplifters” program.

The officers work with school staff and students to provide a safe and secure learning environment. In addition to investigating incidents with school security personnel, the SRO’s are instrumental in traffic emphasis patrols and as well as going into the classrooms to help instruct and educate students on dif- ferent aspects of law enforcement and community relations. A key program offered by the Youth Services Unit is the Drug Abuse Resistance Education, or “DARE” program. This is a 10- week course of instruction for 5th grade students in not only the public schools but several private schools in Kennewick. Approximately 1,500 students are taught about the perils of substance abuse as well as how to be good citizens. With the partnership formed between Kennewick Police, Goodwill Industries of the Columbia and the Kennewick School District a Family Great curriculum was offered to several families within our com- munity. This is a violence prevention program for students and their families teaching positive life skills. In 2012 members of the Youth Services Unit were involved with, Every-15-Minutes, DARE, the School Patrol Picnic, Take 25, in addition to numerous community presentations.

The Police Support Specialist are generally the first line of contact when calling or coming into the Police Station. The division consists of nine Police Support Specialist who staff the Department on a 24/7 rotation. The division is responsible for many of the clerical, administrative and procedural issues as they relate to records and property management. The Specialists handle and process all reports and paperwork generated by commissioned personnel, including citations, warrants, and court or- ders. The Specialists also receive and process requests for case re- ports, records checks, Concealed Pistol Licenses (CPL’s), VISA letters, and speaker/tour requests. The Police Support Specialists continue to work hard to utilize technology advancements and how they manage reports and information for the Kennewick Police Department. The use of document imaging, electronic storage of photos, reports, video, etc., has made the Kennewick Police Depart- ment more effective and efficient in their daily operations. In addition to managing Kennewick’s criminal records they also work closely with the courts, attorneys, insurance companies, and citizens to get information and reports. The Unit also supports the City Attorney’s office and the Prosecutor’s office by producing thousands of report copies for their use in the review of cases. Fingerprinting, work related background checks, and child adoptions are also completed by the Records Unit. In 2012, the Staff Ser- vices Unit fulfilled 3,287 public records requests; a 142% increase from 2011, processed 942 WA State Concealed Pistol Licenses (up from 752 in 2011) and proc- essed 1,353 gun pur- chases and 4,953 war- rants. Currently, the Unit maintains over 3,600 active warrants.

In addition to this they are also called upon to assist officers in the field processing crime scenes by collecting evidence, taking pho- tos and documenting crime scene conditions. They work closely with the officers, courts and prose- cutors to ensure the integrity of all evidence as well as the disposal in a timely manner at the conclu- sion of a case. They also assist in Special Investigations Unit cases as well as oversee asset/ forfeiture hearings related to property seized by officers during investigations. As needed, they pro- vide marijuana testing, testify in court and provide guest speaker engagements to local schools. In 2012, the division took in 5,466 new pieces of property and evidence while re- turning or disposing of 8,231 pieces. Also in 2012, a full inventory was conducted of the Kennewick Police Department evi- dence storage rooms. 17,135 items were identified in the system database, with every item having been physically touched and/or identified. At completion, an estimated 10,000 items were either disposed or cleared up within the system.

It is the largest division within the police department and responsible for providing the bulk of services to our citizens. The division has four squads consisting of eleven officers including two supervi- sors. In addition, each squad has officers who receive special training related to special operations, media relations and serve as gang intelligence liaison officers. In addition, we have a seven officer Traffic Unit who provide edu- cation and enforcement services related to traffic safety. We also have one K-9 unit who is attached to the graveyard patrol shifts who assists with fugitive apprehension. Finally, we have a six officer reserve unit that supplements our patrol squads with special event details and calls for service. In 2012, Commander Child transitioned from the SWAT Team Commander and is now the SWAT Incident Commander responsible for the successful resolution of all tactical situations within the Kennewick jurisdiction. He also continually works with Sergeant Lattin to provide a safe environment for special events that occur within our city. This includes the River of Fire fireworks show, Water Follies, Benton/Franklin County Fair, Columbia Park Events, Southridge Complex Events, Traffic Safety emphasis and many other special events and community gatherings that occur year round. Each patrol squad now has a dedicated gang officer, firearms instructor, SWAT officer, public infor- mation officer and others who are specialists in a variety of disciplines. Supervisory changes include Sergeant Walters from investigations to patrol and Sergeant Guerrero from patrol to investigations. In addition we have hired and trained several new officers during this reporting period. Staffing lev- els have increased from ten to eleven officers assigned per shift. We transition to a new uniform for all sworn personnel. In addition, we implemented in-service training for all patrol officers and a new performance evaluation process. All of our officers met or exceeded the State of Washington training standards. The Traffic Unit participated in the North American Motor Officers Association competition/ conference. We addressed a ballistic vest National Institute of Justice issue and successfully replaced all of the deficient patrol vests. We fully implemented electronic control devises (TASERS) for all sworn per- sonnel, thanks to a gracious donation by the Community Enrichment Foundation compromised of HAPO Community Credit Union and Windermere Tri-Cities. Criminal activity in Downtown Kenne- wick was addressed by partnering with Liquor Control and local businesses. We obtained grant funds to train instructors and purchase equipment related to crowd management. Finally we were able to secure Traffic Safety Funds to purchase new radar units for our traffic offi- cers. Commander Scott Child 16 Years of Service ---PAGE BREAK--- Page 16 Patrol Division Yearly Activity Patrol Division Community Outreach The Patrol Division’s greatest outreach opportunity is related to our involvement and planning for safety and security for our special events, Water Follies, Benton-Franklin County Fair and the Tri- City Regional Chamber River of Fire event on the 4th of July. We had another successful year work- ing together with our partners in providing a family safe environment for all to enjoy. We conducted over one hundred community presentations related to gang awareness, sexual predators, bullying, suicide awareness, driving safety, domestic violence, along with other request. We also distributed almost eleven thousand crime prevention referrals to local residences and busi- nesses. Patrol also provided one hundred citizen ride-alongs to members of our community who wanted to see firsthand how the police department operates. Finally, our Traffic Unit took the lead as a liaison between local agencies and the Washington Traffic Safety Commission to provide training, education and enforcement efforts related to impaired driv- ing, seatbelt enforcement and aggressive driving.

The individual teams are: Criminal Apprehension Team (CAT), Property Crimes, Persons Crimes, Metro Drug Task Force, FBI Violent Gang Task Force, US Marshals’ Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force, Internet Crimes against Children (ICAC), Special Investiga- tions Unit and Crime Analysis. The Crimes against Property and Crimes against Persons teams are responsible for crimes requiring investigation beyond the initial patrol officer response. The Criminal Apprehension Team focuses on criminal gang activity and street level narcotics. The Metro Drug Task Force investigates mid-level criminal organizations linked to narcotics and illegal weapons trafficking. The FBI’s Vio- lent Gang Task Force investigates top level criminal organizations linked to the illegal distribution of narcotics and weapons as well as issues related to Homeland Security. The US Marshal’s Pacific Northwest Violent Offenders Task Force tracks and arrests violent offenders hiding in eastern Wash- ington. The Criminal Investigation Division holds offenders accountable by diligently investigating all major crimes that occur in Kennewick. Those crimes include but aren’t limited to: homicides, assaults, kid- nappings, sex crimes, robberies, arsons, burglaries, auto thefts, identity theft and criminal gang ac- tivity. Crime analysis works with each team within the division providing insight into crime trends, facilitating clear communication between local law enforcement agencies and developing strategies to combat criminal activity in our region. Frequently complex criminal investigations cross jurisdictional boundaries requiring the Kennewick Police Department to work effectively with other local, state and federal agencies committed to pub- lic safety. The Kennewick Police Department appreciates its active working relationships with all law enforcement agencies, as well as non-law enforcement entities, committed to public safety. Page 19 Highlights and Accomplishments The Kennewick Police department investigated one homicide in 2012 resulting in the arrest and life- time confinement of the suspect. On June 5th and 6th The US Marshals organized Operation Scattergun II. The operation includes of- ficers from all the surrounding areas and is focused on apprehending dangerous wanted criminals southeast Washington. For the third year in a row the Tri-city area produced the highest number of arrests. A lot of pre-planning is involved with an operation of this magnitude to make it successful. Several teams within KPD participated in the event to make sure Kennewick sent a clear message to criminals that their behavior wouldn’t be tolerated. Undoubtedly the quality of Tri-City Law En- forcement and cooperation amongst the different agencies fosters significant success. Commander Trevor White 17 Years of Service CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS DIVISIOIN ---PAGE BREAK--- Page 20 Criminal Investigations Division Community Outreach Kennewick Police Department Detectives provided over fifty hours of community training. This train- ing included presentations on local and regional gangs to members of our school district, civic groups and faith based originations. We also partnered with the Kennewick School District to pro- vide bilingual gang awareness presentations to parents of students whose children have engaged in criminal gang activity. Additional community training included presentations related to computer safety and identity theft. In 2012 the Kennewick Police Department again partnered with the Drug Enforcement Administra- tion (DEA) to provide two National Pharmaceutical Drug Take Back events at the Kennewick Police Station. These events continue to receive public support and the end result was large quantities of dangerous pharmaceutical narcotics removed from the street. Kennewick Police Detectives maintain collaborative partnerships with several community agencies such Support Advocacy and Resource Center, Child Protection Services, Department of Corrections and the Washington State Attorney General’s Office. ---PAGE BREAK--- Page 21 Mission Statement The Tri-City Metro Drug Task Force is dedicated to the disruption of narcotic trafficking, illegal gun sales and gang activity in the region. Goals To intercept, dismantle and disrupt criminal organizations and gangs who are trafficking nar cot- ics and guns in Benton and Franklin counties. Thus, reducing their criminal impact on the re- gion and making our community a safer place. Support local law enforcement efforts to remove street dealers by providing intelligence, support, equipment and training.

Our officers, staff, and volunteers were collectively re- sponsible for raising more than $100,000. Every dollar raised directly benefits more than 1000 athletes of Special Olympics Washington who reside in the Tri Cities region. Our suc- cess came through events including the 6th Annual Polar Plunge, the 1st Annual Run from the Cops Midnight 5K Fun Run, Red Robin Tip A Cop, Applebees Tip A Cop, and the Torch Run Relay. Our Polar Plunge this year was the largest Plunge of any of the seven Plunges in Washington, both in number of Plungers, and total funds raised. Chief Ken Hohenberg was named Chief of the Year by Special Olympics Washington for his on-going leadership and commitment to the mission of Special Olympics as well as the Law Enforcement Torch Run effort. Sergeant Randy Maynard was also recognized as Police Officer of the Year. A special thank you to our volunteers (CHIPS) that continue to make this a successful event.
