Submitted By: ___________________________ Recorder Page 1 of 3 MEMORANDUM DATE:

August 4, 2016 TO: ELECTED OFFICIALS FROM: Chief Nick Gailius SUBJECT: POLICE DEPARTMENT

– MONTHLY REPORT FOR JULY 2016 AGENDA TOPICS: The Department is working on the following

that need to be discussed at the upcoming Law Enforcement Committee meeting. We

would like action or input from Committee on these issues: ? Crime Free Rental Housing

Ordinance: The City began a Crime Free Rental housing program in 2008. This highly

successful program trains and equips landlords and property managers to improve

safety and reduce crime on their premises. The program includes training seminars,

licensing requirements, and requirements for the landlords and property managers

to include crime free lease addenda to their rental and lease agreements. This is

handled by a part time Crime Free Housing Coordinator who works through the police

department. The police department, the Clerk’s office, and the City Attorney’s office

worked closely on improving the ordinance regarding this program, as there are some

changes needed to the ordinance supporting the program. These changes fall, generally,

into three categories: o Administrative changes regarding licensing and registration

through the Clerk’s office; o Recommended changes based on issues encountered in

the years we have conducted the program. o Changes necessary because of new state

laws concerning housing, specifically to special victims of certain crimes. The

Crime Free Housing Coordinator will be at the meeting and prepared to discuss the

proposed changes. Staff requests an ordinance to amend the current crime free housing

ordinance and replace it with the proposed new ordinance. ? Nuisance Parties and

Social Gatherings: As reported at last month’s Law Enforcement Committee meeting,

a very large gathering occurred at a residential property on the 4th of July this

year. Following complaints from neighbors regarding this party, staff has examined

options for better regulating large parties or social gatherings that become nuisances.

Two ordinances are 2 currently recommended and attached, hereto, for your consideration.

The first proposed ordinance regulates nuisance parties and social gatherings. The

second proposed ordinance regulates mass gatherings, and would be added to the current

Liquor Code. Both are attached for your review. Staff requests each proposed ordinance

be motioned to the City Council for consideration. The following is a synopsis of

police activity for July 2016. CRIME – (Through July 31, 2016) (Note: This data

is based upon unofficial statistics from the Department’s Computer Aided Dispatch

(CAD) system. It is meant to give a snapshot of crime). ? There have been 18,253

CAD activities YTD, up 4.92% from last YTD. ? On May 17th, a homicide occurred on

Ashley Drive. The Major Case Squad investigated and murder charges were filed against

two men. ? On June 28th, a stabbing occurred on Union Hill Road. The suspect has

been formally charged with Attempted Murder. ? There has been one robbery this year,

compared to six (6) last YTD. o On July 31st, a pizza delivery driver made a delivery

to an address on Toulon. Upon arriving at the address, two suspects approached the

driver and took his money and pizzas. No one was injured. This case remains under

investigation. ? There have been 448 thefts, compared to 508 last year (down 11.8%

YTD). However, there has been a 12.7% increase in business-related theft reports.

? There have 38 burglaries, compared to 33 in 2015 and 67 car burglaries (up 39.6%

from 48 in 2015). ? There have been 14 stolen vehicles, compared to 15 last year.

? There have been 32 Batteries (non-domestic), compared to 28 in 2015 YTD. ? There

have been 7,301 self-initiated police activities year-to-date, including 123 DUI

arrests (up 10% YTD), 210 fugitives, 73 cannabis possession arrests, 10 weapons

arrests, 31 drug paraphernalia arrests, and 32 possession of controlled substances

arrests. UPDATES: ? 9-1-1 Consolidation: The consolidation efforts between Fairview

Heights and O’Fallon are moving along well. A proposed governance agreement between

us has been drafted by our City Attorney, and appears near ready to be presented

to Council for consideration. Technical aspects continue to be put into place to

enable technology to be moved to OPD from FHPD. Labor concerns are near resolution.

It is our goal to be prepared to make a presentation and be prepared to present

resolutions and ordinances at the September Law Enforcement Committee for Council’s

consideration. ? Citizens Police Academy: The Police Department’s annual Citizens

Police Academy will be held again starting in early September. Citizens meet one

night a week from 6 to 9 p.m. for ten weeks to learn about modern policing issues

and techniques, specifically how their own police 3 department does business. Each

of you is invited to participate in this eye opening experience. Also, please help

spread the word on this fantastic opportunity for our residents. It is free. But,

a refundable spot reservation fee is required. ? Premise Alert Program: The Police

Department offers a Premise Alert program for Citizens who have a disability or

a special need. Through this program, an individual and/or address can be put into

the Computer Aided Dispatch system so that emergency responders have critical information

that may aid in a better response. See the attached flyer and form. ? New Equipment

Trailer: The Police Department has purchased a trailer in order to transport equipment

they may be needed in special or unusual events. This will improve our ability to

respond to both planned events and critical incidents that may come up throughout

the year. Equipment to be carried includes barricades, signs, civil unrest gear,

DUI processing equipment, portable booking equipment, and other such items. The

trailer cost about $5,100 and was paid for with department escrow funds. ? FFAMLE

Picnic: The annual FFAMLE picnic to honor police officers and firefighters is set

for Wednesday September 28th at 6:30 p.m. at Moody Park. I hope you are able to

attend. END OF REPORT BY: NICHOLAS J. GAILIUS Police Chief PREMISE ALERT What is

the Premise Alert Program? The Illinois Premise Alert Program (Public Act 96-0788

or 430 ILCS/132) allows people with special needs to provide information to police,

fire, and EMS personnel to be stored in a database for use in an emergency situation.

The information can then be provided to responders dealing with situations involving

the special needs individuals. How does it aid those with special needs or disabilities?

The program requires public safety agencies which utilize a Computer Aided Dispatch

(CAD) system to maintain a database of those citizens with special needs. The personnel

manning the Fairview Heights Police Department Communications Center will have access

to the special needs of a given individual and will transmit that information to

first responders (police, fire, ambulance). The knowledge provided to the first

responders will aid them in assisting you based on your situation or needs in an

emergency situation or call for service. Individuals must understand that the information

provided to the Premise Alert Program will not result in any type of preferential

treatment to the individual. How do I get involved in the program? Complete the

Premise Alert Program Enrollment Form. You can access the form by clicking here

or the form may be picked up at the Fairview Heights Police Department, Fairview

Heights Fire Department, French Village Fire Department or at the Fairview Heights

Municipal Complex. Once the information is verified, the individual can be entered

into the database. The information provided will be kept confidential and used only

to provide police, fire, and EMS personnel with the information needed to deal with

situations or emergencies involving a special needs person. Who is eligible? For

the purposes of the Premise Alert program “disability” and “special needs individual”

are defined as: – “Disability” means an individual’s physical or mental impairment

substantially limits one or more of the major life activities; a record of such

impairment; or when the individual is regarded as having such impairment. – “Special

needs individuals” means those individuals who have or are at increased risk for

a chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition and who also

require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by

individuals generally. Fairview Heights Police Department 10027 Bunkum Road Fairview
