Letter from the Chief
On behalf of the City of New Hope, I am pleased to present the Police
Department’s 2018 Annual Report.
2018 was certainly an exciting year with ongoing construction of the
new police facility and our continuing preparations toward a 2019
move. Training continues to be a top priority as we not only discover
more innovative ways to deliver quality police services, but also
increase the intensity at which we prepare ourselves for large scale
events. Our relationship with area agencies has never been stronger
as the consortium continues to grow in its ability to offer multi-agency
training and disaster preparation.
The department again worked within budget and where possible,
reduced costs and shared services with neighboring agencies to combat crime. Our participation in
federal and state grants also provided a way to reimburse overtime and other related costs. The
designated Traiffc Car continues to bring awareness and education and conducted several multi-
agency projects in New Hope. Our School Resource Oiffcer program at Cooper High School
continues to be a valuable tool to not only provide safety and security but to bridge the gap between
police and youth in our community. In 2018 we also utilized an “at large” oiffcer who primarily
worked to foster positive relationships at all of our grade schools. This has been especially helpful
to staff in light of recent school related tragedies throughout our nation.
In 2018, the department’s calls for service remained relatively consistent from previous years. That
said, for a second year in a row Part I Crimes (homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary,
larceny/theft, auto theft and arson) were up almost 15%.Part II Crimes (other assaults, forgery,
fraud, embezzlement, stolen property, property damage, weapons violations, prostitution, other sex
offenses, narcotics, gambling, family offenses, DWI, liquor laws, and disorderly conduct) were also
up 13% from 2017. This was due primarily to drug offenses and vandalism. These statistical
increases mirror similar rises county wide.
I am thankful for the support offered to the police department and its personnel by the Mayor, City
Council, City Administration and other employees. I am also grateful for the outstanding work by
our dedicated personnel who put their lives on the line each day to improve the City of New Hope’s
overall safety and security.
Sincerely,
Timothy Fournier
Chief of Police

Below are permit statistics from 2015-2018.
The majority of the denials were due to prior felonies or mental
health commitments.
The police department continues to use LETG (Law Enforcement
Technology Group) for a records management system. Clerical
personnel receive regular updates and training on the system.
All full-time clerical personnel are members of the Professional
Law Enforcement Administrative Assistants (PLEAA), which

Support Services
Crime Analyst
The Crime Analyst positon was created in 2017 to support policing and
crime prevention activities by applying statistical modeling and
quantitative analysis to crime data in order to provide insights on crime
patterns and prevalence. These bulletins are produced on a weekly/as
needed basis. Katelyn not only works with the NHPD patrol and inves-
tigative divisions and but with many other state wide law enforcement
agencies in order to recognize trends and patterns, develop strategies to
reduce criminal activities, and prevent crime from taking place in New
Hope. In 2018, Katelyn produced over 40 crime alerts.
In addition to her crime analysis, Katelyn also manages our New Hope
Police Department Facebook page.
Below are examples of Katelyn’s intelligence bulletins.

Patrol and Investigations
Investigations
The New Hope Police Investigation Unit includes:
Three full-time Criminal Investigators
One Narcotics Investigator assigned to the Northwest Metro Drug Task Force
Two School Resource Oiffcers
In 2018, the unit investigated over 363 cases as criminal complaints. Reports are submitted from a variety
of sources including patrol personnel, Hennepin County Adult and Child Protection, and other sources
including information from citizens and informants.
Investigators are also tasked with conducting background investigations on prospective employees and city
applicants for liquor store and massage practice licenses.
Two School Resource Oiffcers (two at Cooper and two at North Education Center) handled their own
internal investigations with regard to low-level-school-related issues.
The Patrol Division represents
the largest portion of the New Hope Police
Department. Totaling 21 oiffcers, the
division Includes 6 Sergeants, 2 K-9 Oiffcers,
Traiffc Oiffcer, and an At Large Oiffcer.
The Patrol Division has a range of duties in
addition to responding to 911 and other
non-emergency calls for service. Patrol
Oiffcers are actively involved with the pub-
lic through business checks, mall walks, and
appearances at city events.
In 2018, patrol oiffcers responded to 20,104
calls for service and made 580 arrests for
misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, and
felony level crimes.
Oiffcers also made 492 adult arrests, 88
juvenile arrests, and issued 8,848 traiffc
citations.
11
K-9
The New Hope Police K-9 Unit consists of two teams and is supervised by Sergeant Tim Hoyt. The first team is
Oiffcer Miguel Robles and K-9 Kody. Kody is a five-year-old German Shepherd and is also currently USPCA
narcotics and tracking certified. The second team is Oiffcer Erick Dyer and K-9 Dex. Dex is a four year old
Malinois Shepherd and also narcotics and tracking certified.
Productivity
In 2018 both teams were involved in a wide variety of calls for service, and they were recognized for that ser-
vice. They generated 269 total K-9 related calls for service. There were 67 narcotics related searches performed,
38 tracks for New Hope and surrounding agencies with a remarkable 14 finds. This clearance rate helped agen-
cies clear criminal activity and find lost/missing persons.
Public Demonstration
The unit once again performed or were directly involved with numerous canine presentations throughout the
year. These include Safety Camp, Mini Safety Camp, National Night Out, Duk Duk Daze, and the New Hope
Crystal Vehicle Fair.
Training/Certification
Oiffcer Robles and Kody successfully completed Regional PD1 Certification and Narcotics Certification.
Oiffcer Dyer and Dex also completed PD1 and Narcotics Certification.
Sergeant Hoyt started the police department’s first DEA Diversion Program, which allows the K-9 program to
acquire controlled substances for training directly from the DEA in Quantico, Virginia. By utilizing such real
substances during training, the K-9s and their handlers become even more proficient in the detection of illegal
narcotics. Sergeant Hoyt completes regular audits with the DEA in order to stay compliant.

K-9
Both the K-9s and their handlers are credited for lowering the number of times
oiffcers have had to enter and search buildings; saving both time possible injury to oiffcers.
Oiffcer Lamers and Oiffcer Robles are well known throughout the metro and are respected
among their peers for their dedication and training.
See the chart below for a breakdown of K-9 calls-for-service (CFS) in 2018.

Reserves and Explorers
Police Reserves
Police Reserves are an all-volunteer unit dedicated to the safety and well-being of New Hope
residents. They fill essential roles in both police operations and crime prevention related ac-
tivities. Working weekend evenings, they assist sworn patrol oiffcers on calls for service,
parking enforcement, animal calls, and medical emergencies. Reserve oiffcers are trained in
emergency and defensive driving, allowing them to respond to emergency calls when re-
quired. In addition to the various City events and police related duties, New Hope Reserves
also provide assistance to surrounding agencies. All New Hope Reserve Oiffcers are required
to attend a 10-week course in reserve training at the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Department.
The unit is overseen by Sergeant Chris Swaja and provides for its own command structure
including a Captain, Sergeants, and Patrol Oiffcers. Though the number of oiffcers decreased
from 11 to 8, the unit remained busy.
In 2018, the New Hope Reserve Unit donated over 1,758 hours of volunteer service to the City
of New Hope. They also donated 63 hours to neighboring communities for various festival
and other related events.
Police Explorers
Under the direction of New Hope Police Oiffcer Advisors (Oiffcer Kaitlyn Baker, Oiffcer Britni Austin,
Oiffcer Jason Ryan and Sgt. Marty Williams) Explorers meet every Monday and are instructed on a variety
of topics including burglary response, traiffc stops, crime prevention, hostage negotiations, domestic crisis
intervention, and other police scenarios. Explorers regularly compete in state competitions and assist with
city and certain police events.
In 2018, the Explorers took second place in Bomb Scene Search and Impaired Driving Academic at the
Explorer State Conference in Rochester!
14
Animal Control
Animal Control Oiffcer Tom Mahan works for both the New Hope and
Crystal Police Departments.
In 2018, ACO Mahan responded to 205 complaints and initiated over 18. Of
the 205 citizen complaints, 54 concerned dogs at large resulting in 1 cita-
tions, 8 written warnings, and 6 impounds. There were 7 dog bites with
none needing euthanasia and two declared potentially dangerous. There
were no cat bites reported. There were 526 licensed pets in 2018, 19 of these
generated by the owner receiving an Animal Control written warning.
ACO Mahan was also involved in 23 non-animal related calls for service. These included docu-
ment deliveries to court, city attorney, Council and Commission members, North Suburban
Towing and Dept. of Vehicle Services; parking complaints; traiffc control at accidents and fire
calls; motorist assists; medical assists; utility checks; found bicycles; assists at warrant and crime
scenes; and vehicle and residential lock outs.
ACO Mahan also encountered or responded to a total of 303 animal-related incidents in the City
of Crystal. When both cities are combined, Mahan encountered or responded to a total of 508
animal-involved incidents in 2018.
In 2018, ACO Mahan continued efforts to decrease the number of Canada geese (and thereby de-
crease the number of complaints about goose feces) in both New Hope and Crystal. The process
of addling goose eggs is sanctioned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Minnesota De-
partment of Natural Resources. Mahan spent over 9 hours locating 7 nests containing 35 eggs in
and around Northwood Park in New Hope and Bassett Creek Park in Crystal.
Mahan also continues to represent New Hope and Crystal at PUPS board meetings in Maple
Grove. He assisted in training new Community Service Oiffcers in both cities and also trained
new Patrol Oiffcers in animal-related procedures. Animal Control Oiffcer Mahan continues to
serve as Chair of the Executive Committee of the Minnesota Animal Disaster Coalition.

Training
Active Shooter
One of the most comprehensive training sessions continues to focus on multi-city active shooter
drills to enhance the response and tactics of oiffcers who may become involved in such a large-
scale event. New Hope, Crystal, Robbinsdale, Golden Valley, Plymouth, Maple Grove, Corcoran,
Medina, and area fire departments continue to come together to collectively train. Modeled after
training established in the south metro, representatives from each department assisted in research-
ing, developing, and implementing a shared strategy for these events and developed a Regional
Response to Active Shooter best practices model.
Dealing with People in Crisis
Over the past few years, there has been a growing need for continued training for oiffcers so they
may effectively deal with people in crisis. In 2018, all New Hope oiffcers attended a minimum of 8
hours of training in de-escalation techniques, and more will be added in future years.
The New Hope Police Department
completed over 60 hours of training in 2018
that included in-service, defensive tactics,
range, and medical recertification.
Range and defensive tactics training takes
place at the Maple Grove Law Enforcement
Training Facility. Oiffcers attend eight-hour
sessions and perfect their skills through
multiple drills and scenario-based exercises.
Oiffcers also attended driving training in St.
Cloud, focusing on high speed pursuit and
Pursuit Intervention Techniques (P.I.T.).

Special Enforcement
The New Hope Traiffc Oiffcer continued
to partner with approximately a dozen
other law enforcement agencies in
Hennepin County in 2018 to conduct
monthly high visibility enforcement
details throughout the year in
participating communities.
Studies have proven that high visibility
traiffc enforcement helps reduce
crashes, crime issues, and increase
public awareness about traiffc safety.
The agencies work together to identify
traiffc patterns, crash data, and crime
trends to allocate resources most
beneficial to each city.
Participating agencies include:
Bloomington, Corcoran, Crystal, Edina,
Golden Valley, Hopkins, Maple Grove,
Medina, Minneapolis, Minnetonka,
New Hope, Plymouth, Richfield,
Robbinsdale, Hennepin County Sheriff’s
Department, and Minnesota State Pa-
trol.
There were 8 events held in 2018 result-
ing in 262 vehicle stops, 212 citations, 12
arrests, 8 commercial vehicle inspec-
tions, and 3 rolling domestic cases.
Traffic & DWI Enforcement
The New Hope Police Department again partic-
ipated in the Towards Zero Deaths (TZD) grant
in 2018, funded by the State of Minnesota.
TZD is the state’s cornerstone traiffc safety pro-
gram utilizing an enforcement and educational
approach to lowering the number of traiffc
crashes, injuries, and deaths in Minnesota.
The city also utilizes a speed trailer, which not
only deters drivers but acts as a data collection
device—monitoring traiffc volume and vehicle
speeds. The data derived allows the department
to more effectively place patrol oiffcers for en-
forcement and education.

Special Enforcement
New Hope Traffic Unit
The Traiffc Unit is responsible for increased traiffc contacts, investigating traiffc related complaints,
enforcing commercial vehicle laws, and drug interdiction. Over the last year, Oiffcer Kaitlyn Baker made
more than 1,600 traiffc stops and issued 939 citations for a variety of offenses. The goal is to educate the
public and reduce the number of crashes in New Hope.
The high visibility of enforcement has proven to be the most effective method in reducing property
damage, injuries, and death from traiffc-related crashes.
Due to staiffng issues, the Traiffc Unit was not in operation between mid-June-July.

Community Services / Community Engagement
In 2018, the New Hope Police Department continued to proactively engage with the
community through various programs and partnerships. Oiffcer Nichole Korth and
her group of dedicated civilian volunteers are responsible for all of the department’s
community outreach and prevention programs including Neighborhood Watch, Na-
tional Night to Unite, D.A.R.E., Child Seat Safety, Bike Rodeo, and Safety Camp.
Over 35 presentations were conducted in 2018. This included safety presentations at
apartment communities, speaking at senior living facilities, and presentations to ele-
mentary-aged children.
The department also participated again in the Special Olympics Torch Run, Shop
with a Cop, Cop on Top, Toys for Tots, and the Cooper football team’s annual Kick
Ball Tournament. Oiffcer Nicole Korth

Community Services
The Crime Free Multi-Housing program (designed for rental property) continues to be a valuable tool for
cities and property owners alike. To become a certified CFMH property the rental property must meet
these specific criteria:
One-day training for managers
The use of the Crime Free, Drug Free lease addendum
Criminal background checks on prospective tenants
Annual property inspection
Participation in Neighborhood Watch
Physical security measurements (locks, lighting, signage)
An active management to enforce the requirements
Failure to meet these requirements annually will result in decertification of the property.
Crime Free Multi-Housing
Disorderly Behavior Ordinance
Nuisance and disorderly property enforcement continues to be a focus of the police department and the
City of New Hope. The City’s Disorderly Behavior Ordinance deals directly with those properties that con-
tinuously cause nuisance issues to neighboring tenants or properties. The ordinance specifically addresses
the following:
Drug Activity/Paraphenalia
Disorderly Conduct
Obstruct Legal Process
Acts or Threats of Violence
Public Nuisance
Prohibited Noise
Alcohol Violations
The City notifies property owners after one disorderly conduct incident has occurred on rental property. If
a second instance occurs at the property, the owner must provide the City a written action plan to abate the
behavior. If there is a third instance within a 12-month period, City ordinance allows for suspension, revo-
cation, or non-renewal of the rental license.
This partnership between rental property owners, manager, inspectors, and police is working to increase
the quality of life throughout the community.

Website and facebook
In 2018, the New Hope Police Department launched its new website and facebook
page. The goal for both is to offer more innovative ways to not only communicate
information, but to add another tool in our efforts to become more involved in the
community and bridge that gap between citizens and the department.
