MaryS;;~MARYSVILLE P<lLICE DEPARTMENT '..'.."'0')Richard L.Smith,ChiefofPQlicli;r J April 10,2012 To the Target &Blue Grant Application Review Team: 1 am writing you to inquire about the po.sibility of the Mary.ville Police Department receiving a donJltitm!grant consisting ofmerchandisethaHssoJd atTargetStores. The City of Marysville is located in Snohomish County,Wa.hington adjacent to the 1-$corridor north of the Snohomi.h River.Mary.ville has a population of 60,000 and covers approximately 21 .quare mile..It is the second large.t city in Snohomish County.Target store #2192 is loeated in NOlthwest Marysville in a developing area.. The Marysville Poliee Department is seeking a grant to replace old eamera equipment with new technology equipment and equipment that has greater capabilities.This grant would provide the Department with the camera equipment they would need for the next three year •.Without thi.grant, it i.pos>ible that the quality of the photographs collected for crimes again.t Marysville citizen.could be reduced and may be insufficient to provide succe»ful prosecutions of the perpetrators of the crimes.In addition,without the.e camera.the officers would nOt be able to take and provide the pictures that we u.e to educate the community and u.e in our crime prevention program. These camera.would be u.ed for a three prong policing approach.Our first focus is education, second would be crime prevention and then the prosecution piece.The Marysville Police Depa11ment combines education and crime prevention through our Neighborhood Watch Program. Every month on the fourth Thursday of the month citizens come to the Dep'artrrent and take part in an edueation meeting.Thi.meeting is staffed by a commissioned police officer and open to the public 10 come and a.k any questions about the city and criminal activity.At thi.meeting photos are displayed to make the community aware of the current crime trcnds,i.e,burglary,graffiti,or vandalism.We a).o have many photo.of the event.and meeting>that take place throughout the year which encourages the public to come and share their ideas with the police department. Our crime prevention piece relies on the tools provided by photographs for the more than 20 Marysville Volunteers that have been found eligible to take part in our Marysville Volunteer Program.They use a variety,of proactive community based programs and crime prevention techniques to reduce crime and instill a sense of safety for citizens.This is one of the more visible and effective programs.Crime prevention i.a responsibility .hared by everyone not just a job for police.They arc an extra set of eyes and ears for commissioned police officer>. Tl,e City of Marysville Prosecutors rely on the case repOrts and photographs associated to be provided to them in various formats so they can effectively prosecute offenders.The Marysville Police Department has seen a tremendous increase in the occurrence of residential theft and burglarie.recently.So,it is essential that the ollieers responding be able to capture the extent of the 1635 Grove Street,Marysville,Washington 98:270 360·363·83QO Mar"s~;~:0 MARYSVILLE POLICE DEPARTM.ENT Y Ricllard L.Smitll,Cbief Qf Police .'...." damage and the totality of the crime using their camera equipment.Without the documentation of the crime perpetrators may not be successfully prosecuted. Currently some of the patrol officers have old low quality cameras with a lew officers having newer cameras that were purchased last year.Marysville Police Department is requesting a grant comprised of cameras and camera equipment to provide each officer assigned to field duty with a new digital camera.First responders to the scene of a crime generally are able to collect the best photographic evidence because the crime sccne has had the least disturbance by anyone.Often the first responder ends up being the primary investigato!'of that crime. Last year Marysville Police responded to over 60,000 incidents and completed 8,900 case reports. Approximately 700 of those cases were major crimes that required additional follow-up and further investigations.Approximately 8,000 cases were handled by the first responder.Having effective and efficient camera equipment for the first responder enables them to capture in photographs the images of either the crime scene or the victims at the time that they were reported to the police. Marysville Police Department has thirty-one commissioned Police Officers working the field and one Community Service Orticer that handles the bulk of the animal complaints and crimes against animals.The need for a small,simple to operate camera that takes quality photographs is vital in tOday's criminal justice setting.Successful prosecution is becoming more reliant On the presence of digital images and other enhancements to basic investigations.To accomplish this officcrs need the proper tools and training.Marysville Police Department will provide training for the officers that receive the new cameras to ensure they are familiar with the cameras and their functions.Last year there was training provided to 24 employees to keep their.skills fresh with digital camera technology. The City of Marysville will be hosting another training session this year to reach even more attendees,outside our agency. The City of Marysville and the Marysville Police Department set forth the priority of partnering with our local community and businesses.These partnerships take many forms,such as neighborhood watch committees,crime prevention education speaking engagements,business security checks,and clear,open communication.It is the goal of the Marysville Police Department to decrease the fear of crime in the area and increase the livability of the city through proactive policing.Without the support of the citJzens of our community being watchful and aware of crime trends,the police could facc barriers and/or a breakdown of communication.That situation could reduce the ,effectiveness of our officer's ability to achieve the goals and vision of the Depatiment. Yearly,the City of Marysville hosts 'crime prevention events,such as National Night Out,The Homegrown Festival,along with the.Neighborhood Watch meetings.We organize these events to bring the community together to gather information from our employees,our officers,and our volunteers.We have establish booths that are staffed by our personnel who give out crime prevention information and educational resources.They make themselves available at these events so that they can reach as many people in the area as possible.The Marysville Police Department believes in transparency in business.By hosting and participating in these community events we can 1635 Grove Street,Marysville,Washington 9S:1.70 360-361-8300 Mar ~~;~~MARYSVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT",X ."I Richard L.Smith,Chief of Pulie,e reach many people that don't have access to the internet.or haven't interacted with our Department in many years.
