Improvement Packaae Summary
1 of 2
This improvement package request seeks funding for upgrade to a smart phone for the Staff Services
Captain, and a smart phone for the DARE Program Coordinator.
The Staff Captain is the main contact person for all ancillary DLEC systems including radios,
computers, vehicle cameras and body worn cameras. The Captain works in tandem with Information
Systems Staff in the event of network or telephone issues at the law enforcement center, is the primary
point of contact for special events throughout the year and is expected to be available 24/7 in this
capacity. Aflip phone is currently budgeted at the maintenance level for this activity. Upgrading this
existing telephone line to smart phone technology impacts operations by increased availability to city
staff and ease of communication with minimal interruption to DLEC operations. Requested funds for
Staff Services reflects the difference between the current operations budget and the requested
upgrade.
The DARE Coordinator is a police officer responsible for the annual DARE education curriculum and is
immersed in the school system daily, having constant contact with the students in our schools, much
like our current School Resource Officers (SRO's). With a coming position transition, the DARE position
is transitioning to take on additional SRO duties in addition to the DARE curriculum. SRO's were
recently upgraded to smart phones to be more accessible to students and school staff as well to have
access to external sources like social media for investigations involving school based complaints.
Currently the DARE officer has no department issued phone, so any communication takes place on a
personal phone. If funded, this request impacts operations by restricting evidence related texts, photos
or other information gathered during the course of the SRO's duties to a department issued telephone,
as well as allow the DARE Officer to function in many of the same ways as an SRO by being more
-39-
accessible to students and school staff. Requests for funds in the DARE program reflects an additional
phone line, cellular phone and accessories.
This request supports the Sustainable Principles of Reasonable Mobility and Community Health &
Safety and supports the department goal of being a financially responsible and high performance
organization.

This improvement package request seeks funding to replace batteries and components for use with the
portable speed indicator signs. The Dubuque Police Department originally purchased a "speed trailer"
circa 2000 for use throughout the city as a speed deterrent. In approximately 2010, the equipment
needed major repairs that exceeded the cost of the device. After researching, the department decided
to switch to the portable speed shields to take advantage of technological advances, and the fact that
the City Engineering Department also successfully utilized them. These devices monitor and display
motorists' speed and retain speed data for analytical use. The shields are deployed throughout the city
in areas of concern. Each shield is powered by a rechargeable battery and is mounted via a removable
bracket.
Up until this point grant funding has been used to purchase additional batteries and mounting brackets
to allow the shields to be continually deployed between locations without the need to change mounts
and/or wait for batteries to charge. Grant restrictions prohibit us from requesting funding for
replacements as a request of this type would be considered supplanting.
The batteries are purchased in sets of two at a cost of approximately $800, and over time their ability to
retain a full charge lessens to the point where they are no longer usable. Brackets and mounting
hardware are exposed to the elements and need to be replaced periodically.
We are requesting recurring funding of $1,500 be added to our equipment budget annually to allow for
replacement of batteries and brackets due to wear/use. Funding will allow full utilization of equipment
that has shown to be a speed deterrent.
This request supports the Sustainable Principles of Reasonable Mobility and Community Health &
Safety and supports the department goal of being a financially responsible and high performance
organization.

Highlights of the Past Year
• The Dubuque Police Department partners annually with the local chapter of Boy Scouts
of America to provide a Police Explorer Program; this community program provides a
safe activity for youths aged 14 to 20 and hopefully guides some towards a career in
law enforcement. 2016 marks the 7th year for the Explorers.
• In October 2016, the Dubuque Police Department and its partner agencies in public
safety launched Police to Citizen (P2C) public portal. P2C offer citizens the opportunity
to review police calls for service, arrests, and accidents among some of the features,
and see all of these items on a map. P2C provides citizens the opportunity to view the
data and get a better understanding on crime in their neighborhoods and the
department's efforts.

DUBUQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT
• In response to elevated numbers of `shots fired' and other acts of violence, in 2012 the
Dubuque Police Department reassigned two Patrol officers, with an additional two
officers reassigned 2015, to form a Neighborhood Response Team (NRT) which focuses
on neighborhoods seeing an increase in this activity. NRT allows for directed patrol in
these areas and extra time and investigative resources, thus freeing other Patrol staff to
stay in service.
• 21s1 Century Policing Strategies: The Dubuque Police Department has adopted the
President's Task Force on 21s1 Century Policing as a guide to establish 'best practices'

recommendations and action items suggested for local, state and federal agencies to
pursue. The department has reviewed and identified strategies, programs, and policies
already in place and will work on implementing others.

and 14 shooting incidents.

Cedar Rapids Gazette — Nov. 25, 2015

Guest Columnist: Violence in Cedar Rapids is a public health issue
Cedar Rapids Gazette – April 25, 2016
Our entire city is affected by these deaths. Not one thing happens in our community that does not impact
who we are and how we go about our daily living. The gun violence is not just an area of Cedar Rapids
problem.
As our police chief has said, Cedar Rapids is not going to be able to "arrest its way out" of the problem of
violence involving our young people and firearms — meaning the violence in Cedar Rapids is not only a law
enforcement issue, but also the symptom of much larger social issues that must be addressed broadly and
over the long term.
Advocates urge Cedar Rapids to get more help solving gun violence

During a meeting of the Safe, Equitable and Thriving (SET) Communities Task Force on Thursday, Police
Chief Wayne Jerman said he has exchanged emails this week with Dr. Corinne Peek -Asa, the Associate

Jerman's comments came in response to a community organization, 1 Strong, asking the Cedar Rapids City
Council to consider asking the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to investigate violence in
the city as an epidemic.
... Cedar Rapids had only 29 incidents where someone was actually shot in 2015. Cedar Rapids' population
is approximately 130,000.

Shots fired, violent crime in Cedar Rapids up in first half of 2016
Cedar Rapids Gazette — July 16, 2016
Indeed, gun violence remains a prominent issue in Cedar Rapids. According to crime statistics from the
Cedar Rapids Police Department, there were more shots fired incidents during the first half of 2016 than the
first six months of any previous year.
Overall, the number of violent crimes in Cedar Rapids is up 6.5 percent, with 180 incidents reported in the
first six months of this year, compared with 169 incidents during the same time last year.
According to police data, there have been 50 shots fired incidents during the first six months of 2016. The
first half of 2015 saw 41 shots fired calls and there were 46 such incidents through June of 2014.
That leaves Cedar Rapids on pace to hit 100 shots fired incidents for the second year in a row.
There have been three homicides in the first half of 2016, one more than in the first six months of 2015.

Cedar Rapids Gazette – Sept. 12, 2016

man injured.

Cedar Rapids. No other arrests have been made, but Diersen said the victim — who was shot in the upper,

Juvenile faces involuntary manslaughter charges in death of girl, 13
Cedar Rapids Gazette – Sept. 28, 2016
Six teenagers sat in a car on the southeast side of Cedar Rapids Tuesday morning when a gun somehow
fired, the bullet striking Ireshia Parks, 13, in the head.
Parks later died at Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids and a 13 -year-old male suspect now faces a
charge of involuntary manslaughter.
"There was no dispute or argument among them in the car, said Cedar Rapids Police Chief Wayne Jerman.
"We're still trying to determine what happened inside the car."
Witnesses told officers there were male suspects at the scene of the incident who were running in the alley
between 15th and 16th streets SE. Officers, including K-9 units, apprehended two suspects in the 1500
block of Bever Avenue SE and a third suspect in the 1500 block of Washington Avenue SE, Buelow said,
adding the three suspects were in custody within 10 minutes of police receiving the call.
In addition to the involuntary manslaughter charge, the 13 -year-old male suspect is charged with carrying
weapons and interference with official acts. He is accused of unintentionally discharging the handgun and is
in juvenile custody, Jerman said.

News Track: Linn County Public Health to lead gun violence study
Cedar Rapids Gazette – Nov. 26, 2016
In May, Cedar Rapids Police Chief Wayne Jerman told members of the Safe, Equitable and Thriving
Communities Task Force — a committee charged with exploring gun violence in the community — that he
was exploring partnerships with other organizations to conduct a study on violence in Cedar Rapids. He
indicated to the task force that he had exchanged emails with members of the University of Iowa College of
Public Health.
Jerman's efforts were in response to a request from a community organization, 1 Strong, asking the City
Council to consider asking the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to investigate gun violence
in the city as an epidemic. The CDC had done such a study in Wilmington, Delaware.
What's happened since: Linn County Public Health will lead a study on gun violence in the city, Jerman said.
But first it needs data, a task that will take some time, Jerman said.
Gun violence drops in Cedar Rapids
Chief credits police department's focus on community outreach
Cedar Rapids Gazette – January 22, 2017
The fight against violent crime in Cedar Rapids last year did not get off to a promising start .. .
...But then something changed.
The incidents of shots being fired in the city dropped off dramatically, reaching double digits in a month —
10 in August — only once for the rest of the year.
Despite the brutal start, Cedar Rapids in 2016 saw its first drop of shots -fired incidents in three years.
Overall, there were 86 such incidents last year, a 14 percent decrease from 2015's total of 100.
"I am very pleased with how 2016 went," said Cedar Rapids Police Chief Wayne Jerman, who has made
countering gun violence a priority since joining the city in 2013. " ..."We're not going to let up. We're going to
keep moving to keep those numbers on the decline."
Importantly, homicides also were down in 2016: four compared with six in 2015 and eight in 2014. Two of
those killed in 2016 died in accidental shootings.
Jerman credits the decrease in shots being fired to a department emphasis on community outreach and
relationship building, and identifying and arresting those responsible for gun violence.
