We saw the completion of our new police facility in July and the demolition of the old building many of us called home for our entire careers. Our new facility is packed with state-of-the-art technology and provides a modern work environment designed to meet the demanding needs of law enforcement personnel both today and into the future. Some highlights include individual olficer work stations, large meeting spaces, fftness and training rooms and underground parking. As training continues to be a top priority, the new facility was purposely constructed to meet those needs. Many of the new training mandates in de-escalation and impartial policing can be accom- plished within our own facility. We are also in a better position to host such events for area departments. 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. Community Services continued to provide a variety of programs including Crime Free Multi-Housing, DARE, Defensive Driving, crime reports, Safety Camp and National Night Out. The designated Tralfic Olficer continues to bring awareness and education and conducted several multi-agency projects in New Hope. Our School Resource Olficer program at Cooper High School continues to be a valuable tool, not only providing safety and security, but to briding the gap between police and youth in our community. In 2019, the department’s calls for service rose by 13%. That said, Part I Crimes (homicide, rape, rob- bery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny/theft, auto theft and arson) decreased 10% and 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) decreased 6% from 2018. 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 4 Mission and Vision Statements Mission The mission of the New Hope Police Department is to provide quality professional services to all residents, organizations, and visitors by ensuring a safe and secure urban environment.

Patrol Captain Scott Crocker 7 Department Divisions Overseen by Captain Scott Slawson, the division investigated more than 500 criminal cases ranging from major felonies to misdemeanor level crimes in 2019. Detectives also maintained outstanding working relationships with outside agencies. These relationships are crucial when investigating sensitive cases. In addition, detectives attended various training to improve their working knowledge of crime trends and technology. Included in the Investigation Division are three detectives, two school resource olficers, a drug task force olficer, crime prevention and clerical staff. Investigations Captain Scott Slawson 8 Support Services The Crime Analyst position was created in 2017. Crime Ana- lyst Katelyn Crouteau supports 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. Katelyn works not only with the NHPD patrol division, but with many other state-wide law en- forcement agencies in order to recognize trends and patterns and develop strategies to reduce criminal activities and prevent crime from taking place in New Hope. In addition to her crime analysis, Katelyn also manages our New Hope Police Department Facebook page. (Below are examples of Katelyn’s intelligence bulletins) Crime Analyst Katelyn Croteau 9 Clerical Staff Jeana Allen-Hatcher Lorilee Stafford Brandi Hearn Rhonda Peske The Support Services Division is divided into two areas: Clerical and Police Administrative Support. Jeana Allen-Hatcher and her full-time staff (Lorilee Stafford, Brandi Hearn and Rhonda Peske) along with several part-time employees, provide a variety of technical, clerical and information technology services. Other duties of this division include customer service, records management, retention, processing and dissemination of police reports, data practices, and state compliance requirements. Lorilee Stafford and Rhonda Peske processes and track all permits to purchase ffrearm requests. All permit requests results are signed off by the Chief of Police. Below are permit statistics from 2015-2019. 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 records management. 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 offers support and ongoing training in their ever changing ffeld. YEAR APPS ISSUED DENIED 2015 199 188 11 2016 178 161 17 2017 158 153 5 2018 131 126 5 2019 128 119 9 Support Services 10 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 Olficers In 2019, the unit investigated more than 500 cases as criminal complaints. Reports are submitted from a va- riety 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 Olficers Cooper High School 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 Depart- ment. Totaling 21 olficers, the division includes six Sergeants, two K-9 Olficers, and a Tralfic Olficer. The Patrol Division has a range of duties in addition to responding to 911 and other non-emergency calls for service. Patrol Olficers are actively involved with the pub- lic through business checks, mall walks and appearances at city events. In 2019 patrol olficers responded to 23,004 calls for service and made 590 arrests for misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor and felony level crimes. Olficers also made 497 adult arrests, 93 juvenile arrests and issued 8,838 tralfic citations. 11 K-9 K-9 Kody K-9 Dex Productivity The New Hope Police Department K-9 unit was involved in a wide variety of calls for service in 2019, and recognized for several awards by the United States Police Canine Association (USPCA). The two K-9 teams are comprised of Olficer Robles and Kody, and Olficer Dyer and Dex. The two teams were the responding olficers for 1,337 of the total calls for service for the department. They generated 254 total K-9 related calls for service. There were several dozen arrests directly attribut- ed to the K-9 unit as well as numerous weapons found on tracks, and in vehicles. There were 37 narcotic related searches performed by the two K-9 teams. They completed 41 tracks for New Hope and surrounding agencies, with several ffnds. This clearance rate helped agencies clear criminal activity and ffnd lost/missing persons. It should also be noted that there were several incidents when New Hope’s K-9 utilized psychological de- terrence (loud barking and acting aggressive) on leash. This tool helped keep unruly crowds un- der control while allowing olficers not to resort to use of force. Several suspects also gave them- selves up for arrest before the K-9’s were released for apprehension. Public Demonstrations The unit once again performed or were directly involved with numerous canine presentations throughout the year. These included Safety Camp, mini-Safety Camp, and National Night Out to name a few. Training/Certification Olficer Robles and his K-9 partner Kody successfully completed Regional PD1 Certiffcation and Narcotic Certiffcation in 2019. Olficer Dyer and his K-9 partner Dex successfully completed Regional PD1 Certiffcation and Nar- cotic Certiffcation in 2019. Sergeant Hoyt continued monitoring with the DEA Diversion Program, allowing the K-9 program to get the controlled substances used for training through the DEA in Quantico, Virginia. Ser- geant Hoyt completed all required annual testing and weighing of narcotics to continue utilization of the program. 12 K-9 13 Reserves and Explorers Police Reserves The New Hope Police Reserve unit is a volunteer organization of the New Hope Police Department. The Reserve “mission statement” reads: To provide services for the New Hope Police Department that are compatible with the charter and bylaws of the Reserve Unit. In addition, provide services to the City of New Hope, School District 281 and other community organiza- tions…when the requests do not conflict with the commitments to the Police Department. Reserve Olficers ffll essential roles in both police operations and crime preven- tion related activities. Working weekend evenings, they assist sworn patrol olficers on calls for service, parking enforcement, animal calls and medical emergencies. Reserve olficers are trained in emergency and defensive driving, allowing them to respond to emergency calls when required. In addition to the various city events and police related duties, New Hope Reserves also provide assistance to surrounding agencies. All New Hope Reserve Olficers are re- quired to attend a 10-week course in reserve training at the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Department. The unit is overseen by a Patrol Sergeant and provides for its own command structure including a Captain, Sergeants, and Patrol Olficers. Due to the willingness of reserve members to participate in various festivals and local activities, the reserve unit assisted nearby cities for eight city festi- vals and twelve other community events in 2019, including Whiz Bang and Crystal Frolics. The amount of time spent assisting other communities (71 hours) is almost identical to 2018, at 70 hours. The Reserve hours incurred for the New Hope city events (176) only decreased by 3% over the prior year. De- spite our response to the requests of other communities, 71% of our civic hours were for activities associated with the city of New Hope, and, of these hours, 61% were spent for the Duk-Duk Daze festival. The unit spent 15.5 hours on four emergency call-out events, compared with 27 hours on two call-out events in 2018. The number of call-outs ifuctuates considerably each year. 14 Reserves and Explorers Police Explorers Under the direction of Olficer Advisors Kaitlyn Baker, Britni Austin, and Jason Ryan with assistance by previous CSO Andrew Nickelson and overseen by Sergeant Marty Williams. The Explorer group meets every Monday evening for two to three hours depending on the lesson. Guest speakers join the group to teach the practical exercises that they specialize in. The New Hope Police Explorer Post 915 is a career interest program for young men and women between the ages of 14 and 21. Exploring provides training and skill development related to a career in law enforcement and allows a close-up view of what police olficers do on a daily basis. Explorers are encouraged to ride along with Olficers and help with police sponsored events such as Duk Duk Daze, Shop with a Cop, Bike Rodeo, Car Seat Clinics, Night to Unite and Safety Camp. Meetings focus on training for the types of calls to which police olficers regularly respond. The Explorer group meets September to April each year. Each year the Explorers have an opportunity to attend the annual state conference, currently held in Rochester, and a fall conference held in Cloquet, MN where they compete against other Explorers from around the state in various scenarios. The Explorers have an opportunity to participate in a pistol shoot competition at the state conference. Several weekend trainings are attended for additional training and education and are judged by outside agencies. A ffrearms instructor trains the explorers throughout the year in gun safety, weapon handling and precision shooting. The North Metro Range in Maple Grove is used for training in live ffre and use of the Firearms Training Simulator (F.A.T.S) machine. The Explorer program is an excellent opportunity to improve personal communication skills, build conffdence, become more comfortable speaking in public and other skills required for a fu- ture career in any ffeld. In 2019, the New Hope Explorer Post had four explorers competing in the competition. They earned a second place trophy in Bomb Scene Search and a second place trophy in Impaired Driving. 15 Animal Control Animal Control Olficer Tom Mahan works for both the New Hope and Crystal Police Departments. In 2019, he encountered or responded to 251 (205 in 2018) animal-related incidents, of which 223 or 89% were citizen complaints and 28 or 11% were olficer initiate . Of the 223 citizen complaints, 57 (26%) concerned dogs at large, resulting in two citations, seven written warnings and eight impounds. Overall, citizen complaints included 123 concerning dogs, resulting in three citations, 14 written warnings and 12 impounds. There were nine dog bites (seven in 2018), three passed through PUPS quarantine without signs of illness, one was home quarantined with no signs of illness, one was euthanized and tested negative for rabies, one occurred in Stearn’s County, one was unffnished since the owner ifed the scene and two had no puncture wounds to the victims. One of the quarantined dogs was declared dangerous due to the injuries on the victim. There were four reports of aggressive dogs, three were dog-to-dog aggression and one the owner ifed the scene. Two dogs were declared potentially dangerous. There were 38 citizen complaints concerning cats, 27 were cats at large. These calls resulted in one written warning and seven im- pounds. There was one cat bite in which the cat completed quarantine with no signs of illness. A trap was loaned to one residence to catch a stray cat. There were 62 citizen complaints con- cerning other animals with no enforcement needed. The 28 olficer initiated incidents included 27 involving dogs (21 involved dog licenses), resulting in four citations and 19 written warnings. There were no olficer-initiated incidents involving cats. There was one olficer-initiated incident involving other animals with no enforcement needed. ACO Mahan was also involved in 43 non-animal related calls for service. These included: docu- ment deliveries tralfic control at accidents and ffre calls, motorist assists, medical assists, utility checks, found bicycles, assists at warrant and crime scenes and vehicle and residential lock outs. ACO Mahan also continues to represent New Hope and Crystal at PUPS board meetings in Ma- ple Grove. He assisted in training new Community Service Olficers in both cities and also trained new Patrol Olficers in animal-related procedures. Animal Control Olficer Mahan contin- ues to serve as Chair of the Executive Committee of the Minnesota Animal Disaster Coalition. ACO Tom Mahan 16 Training Active Shooter One of the most comprehensive training sessions continues to focus on multi -city active shooter drills to en- hance the response and tactics of olficers who may become involved in such a large-scale event. New Hope, Crystal, Robbinsdale, Golden Valley, Plymouth, Maple Grove, Corcoran, Medina, and area ffre departments continue to come together to collectively train. Modeled after training established in the south metro, repre- sentatives from each department assisted in researching, 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 olficers so they may effec- tively deal with people in crisis. In 2019, all New Hope olficers attended a minimum of eight hours of train- ing in de-escalation training and in 2020, this will be expanded to mort than 16 as olficers are able to access new online classes through their individual work stations. Implicit Bias Police olficers are likely to be just as susceptible to implicit bias as any other professional group, perhaps more so, given the nature of their work which often focuses on negative aspects of human behavior. It is critical that olficers make decisions based on legally deffned criminal behavior and policy and not be inifu- enced by individual traits that (by themselves) do not dictate criminal behavior. In response to this, New Hope olficers attend regular training each year and will be completing additional training online. This train- ing will be expanded as more becomes available. The New Hope Police Department completed more than 60 hours of training in 2019 that included in-service, defensive tac- tics, range and medical recertiffcation. Range and defensive tactics training takes place at the Maple Grove Law Enforcement Training Facility. Olficers attend eight-hour sessions and perfect their skills through multiple drills and scenario-based exercises. Olficers also attended driving training in St. Cloud, focusing on high speed pursuit and Pursuit Intervention Techniques (P.I.T.). 17 SWAT 18 Special Enforcement The New Hope Tralfic Olficer continued to partner with approximately a dozen other law enforcement agencies in Hennepin County in 2019 to conduct monthly high visibility enforcement details throughout the year in participating communities. Studies have proven that high visibility tralfic enforcement helps reduce crashes, crime issues and increases public awareness about tralfic safety. The agencies work together to identify tralfic patterns, crash data and crime trends to allocate resources most beneffcial to each city. Participating agencies include Bloomington, Corcoran, Crystal, Edina, Golden Valley, Hopkins, Maple Grove, Medina, Minneapolis, Minnetonka, New Hope, Plymouth, Richffeld, Robbinsdale, Hennepin County Sheriff’s Department and Minnesota State Patrol. There were eight events held in 2019 resulting in 282 vehicle stops, 226 cita- tions, 22 arrests, nine commercial vehi- cle inspections, and four rolling domes- tic cases. Traffic & DWI Enforcement The New Hope Police Department participated in the Towards Zero Deaths (TZD) grant in 2019, funded by the State of Minnesota. TZD is the state’s cornerstone tralfic safety program utiliz- ing an enforcement and educational approach to lowering the number of tralfic 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 tralfic volume and vehicle speeds. The data derived allows the department to more effectively place patrol olficers for en- forcement and education. Hennepin County Traffic Enforcement Group 19 Special Enforcement New Hope Traffic Unit The Tralfic Unit is responsible for increased tralfic contacts, investigating tralfic related complaints, enforcing commercial vehicle laws and drug interdiction. Over the last year, Olficer Kaitlyn Baker issued 1,848 citations for a variety of tralfic violations. 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 tralfic-related crashes.  421 Speed citations/warnings  133 Driver’s license violations  51 Stop sign violations  19 Inattentive driving violations  112 Equipment violations  163 Insurance violations  320 Total calls (non-traffic)  1,471 Overall contacts  1,848 Total violations 2019 Traffic Stats Breakdown 20 Community Services In 2019, the New Hope Police Department continued to proactively engage with the community through various programs and partnerships. Olficer Nichole Korth and her group of dedicated civilian volunteers are responsible for all of the department’s community outreach and prevention programs in- cluding Neighborhood Watch, National Night to Unite, D.A.R.E., Child Seat Safety, Bike Rodeo, and Safety Camp. More than 35 presentations were conducted in 2019. This included safety presentations at apartment communities, speaking at senior living facilities and presentations to elementary-aged children. Oiffcer Nicole Korth 21 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 certiffed CFMH property the rental property must meet these speciffc 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 decertiffcation 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 continu- ously cause nuisance issues to neighboring tenants or properties. The ordinance speciffcally addresses the following:  Drug Activity/Paraphenalia  Disorderly Conduct  Obstruct Legal Process  Acts or Threats of Violence  Public Nuisance  Prohibited Noise  Alcohol Violations The city notiffes 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, revoca- tion or non-renewal of the rental license.
