2000 Salina Police Department Accomplishment Report
February 6, 2001
Please find listed below the Salina Police Department's most significant accomplishments
during calendar year 2000.
Especially noteworthy accompiishments include (1) the department's re-accreditation by
the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc., and (2) the
decrease in serious crime experienced in Salina, not only in 2000,but also over the past
three years.
LAW ENFORCEMENT RE-ACCREDITATION - Please find attached hereto a copy of the
"On-Site Assessment Report for the Salina Police Department," a 20-page document
setting forth the findings of December's four day, top-to-bottom inspection of the police
department's operation. A team of three assessors, representing the Commission on
Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc., critically reviewed the policies,
procedures, and overall management and operation of the police department. The report
was very positive. According to the report's summary, written by Assessment Team
Leader John Grannan, "This is a very well operated and professional police department.
It is the unanimous recommendation of the on-site team that the Salina Police Department
be reviewed for re-accreditation by the Commission at its next regularly scheduled
meeting." This report is essentially a "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval" which will
lead to the department's formal re-accreditation by the Commission at their March meeting
in Greensboro, North Carolina.
PART I CRIME DECREASES - The quality of life for Salina's residential and business
residents, and our visitors, i~ greatly affected by our crime rates. There is a Clear
connection between our maintenance of low crime rates and the high priority placed on
public safety by the City Manager and City Commission. This emphasis on and investment
in public safety has resulted in a significant decrease in serious crime for the third straight
year.
During calendar year 2000, Part I crime (Murder, Rape, Robbery, Aggravated Assault,
Burglary, Larceny and Auto Theft) decreased 5% when compared to 1999. In addition, for
the second year in a row, I am pleased to report that there were no homicides recorded in
the city. Our contention that Salina is a very safe city in which to live is certainly supported
by the data.

February 6, 2001
The abuse of methamphetamine - a potent psychostimulant - is an extremely serious and
growing problem in our city. 11351170 Drug Task Force members seized 62 meth labs last
. year, which amounts to 50 more labs than were seized in all of 1999. Methamphetamine
continues to be the hard drug of choice, and it is so plentiful in our city that the wholesale
price has fallen to as low as $8,000 per pound. Because of a lack of qualified applicants,
we have been .unable to assign the two additional officers to the drug task force that were
authorized in the police department's budget last year. When staffing levels permit, this
addition should enable us to magnify our counter-drug effectiveness.
Nevertheless, our emphasis on drug education and enforcement continues to have a
profound impact on crime in our city. The nexus between drug abuse and crime is
unquestionable: during 2000, drug arrests in Salina increased 13%, while Part I crime fell
5%. It is indisputable that a causal relationship exists .between the use of drugs and the
commission of crime. Simply put; if we can reduce the number of people who abuse drugs
in our community (through education, enforcement, and treatment, when available), there
will be a reduction in the commission of certain types of crime.
TRAFFIC SAFETY - Traffic accidents remain the leading threat to the health and safety
of our citizens and th~ many people who visit our city each year. Sustained traffic safety
efforts by the City of Salina and its police department, not only during 2000 but also over
the years, have served to make our roadways the safest of any large city in the state.
Our 2000 traffic safety efforts continued to save lives, prevent personal injuries, and reduce
the emotional and financial toll caused by motor vehicle crashes. Overall, traffic crashes
in Salina were down 2% when compared to 1999: property damage and personal injury
accidents each decreased 2%, while fatalities (four traffic deaths each year) remained the
same.
Reducing the incidence of D.U.1. and' removing those who choose to drive while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs from Salina's roadways remains a law enforcement priority.
Alcohol-related crashes (ARCs) last year increased 3% (from 67 to 69) when compared
to 1999. While still an unacceptable number, 2000's total of 69 ARCs reflect a decrease
of 43% when compared to 1992's record setting 121 ARCs. Taking into consideration the
increase in the number of vehicles ~nd the number of miles driven, it is evident that our
emphasis on education and enforcement over the years is producing the desired effect;
fewer citizens are driving while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF THE WORK PRODUCT - The quantity and quality of the
work product remained extremely high in 2000, as evidenced by (1) a 5% decrease
. in Part I crime, (2) no lawsuits filed against the department and city, which is remarkable
considering that officers effected 4,759 arrests, and (3) our Part I crime clearance rates
when compared to the national average. Please find attached hereto (1) the department's
year-end statistical report for 2000, and (2) a graph comparing the department's clearance
rates for Part I crimes to the latest national clearance rates, as published in the FBI's 1999
Uniform Crime Report, released October 15, 2000.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT - Recognizing that human resource management
is one of the biggest challenges facing our agency, we have developed and refined a
process to attract, test and hire a diverse group of recruits in order to bring to the city's
police service the best and brightest people available. However, because we refuse to
lower our standards (we are currently five officers under authorized strength), recruiting the
type of person suitable for employment with the Salina Police Department is becoming
increasingly more difficult. In today's extremely tight labor market, no opportunity can be
overlooked, any we must redouble our efforts and explore new methods of advertising and
recruiting. We continue to recruit at military installations, colleges and universities,
shopping malls, job fairs, and at any suitable event which may gamer qualified applicants.
We have also abandoned our traditional semi-annual testing in favor of monthly testing,
and implemented flex testing, where we will make arrangements to accommodate those
candidates whom, for whatever reason, cannot test on the regularly scheduled test date
each month. This month, we will start testing on Saturday rather than Friday, which will
. hopefully make it more convenient for applicants who are currently employed.
We are pleased to report that our department is becoming more representative of the
community. Our sworn strength as of this report includes three African-American officers,
and another African-American applicant is currently in our selection process.
CRIME PREVENTION/COMMUNITY RELATIONS:"" We are committed to developing
partnerships and resources within the community which (1) build problem-solving
coalitions, (2) instill a sense of mutual responsibility for enhancing public safety, (3)
increase the community's awareness to resolve issues related to crime and disorder, and
(4) promote confidence in law enforcement. To fulfill our commitment and keep our
collective thumbs on the pulse of the community, department members presented many
crime prevention/community relations programs during 2000, and.were actively involved
with the membership of numerous. community organizations. For further information
relative to the scope and variety of department involvement, please see the "Crime
Prevention/Community' Relations Annual Report" appended hereto.
CONCLUSION
We would like to thank the Board of Commissioners for their continued public safety
support, and all members of the City's Executive Staff. The daily cooperation and
assistance among departments is reflected in a synergy that provides our citizens with the
finest municipal public service found anywhere. A special "thank you" is extended to City
Manager Dennis Kissinger, Deputy City Manager Mike Morgan, Assistant City Manager
Jason Gage, and Assistant to the City Manager Rocky Bumgarner,. for without your
collective support and assistance, none of the aforementioned accomplishments would
have been possible. We look forward to working with you and other members of the city
team as we face the opportunities and challenges that year 2001 and beyond present.

citizens according to a recent estimate by cjty planners. Estimates project that
Salina's population will increase to 50, 800 by 2010. The city has experienced
some increase in racial diversity over the years. The white population fell from
about 95% in 1970 to about 93% in 1990, and the black population from about
4% to about 3.5% according to 1990 Census figures. The increases were shown
in Hispanics, who now make up about 2; 7% of Salirians,and other ethnic
populations, including Asians, Pacific Islanders and Native Americans, at about
3%. The city stretches over 13,314 acres, approximately 22 square miles, and is
served by 242 miles of street,s and major highways, including 1-70, 1-135 and U.S.
81.
Salina operates under a Commission-City Manager form of government. The
economy was heavily reliant on flour milling until the 1960's when a change in
freight rates by the Interstate Commerce COmhlis$ion caused the mills to leave.
After 1964, when the Defense Department closed the military base, the city
rebounded as they brought 'lew industry to the former military site. The city as
enticed a mixture of educational, aeronautic and industrial uses to the site,
including relocating its municipal airport from the knoll east of the city to the 2.5
mile long runway built by the military.
The city's policing was initially formed as a marshal system and retained until
Salina became a first class city in 1920. It was then that the city's law
enforcement agency became officially known as the Salina Police Department.
Records show that the department had a chief, a chief of detectives and 7
officers. Today the Salina Police Department is.comprised of 78 sworn and 29
civilian members under the direction of Chief James D. Hill. Reporting directly to
Chief Hill are Deputy Chief Barry Plunkett, Commander of the Operations
Division, and Deputy Chief D.ave Dunstan, Commander of the Administrative
"Division.
Chief Hill told the team that bringing the department up to its authorized strength
was a major issue facing the agency. The Salina Police Department is currently
4 officers below count. Because of the high standards set by the department,
Chief Hill felt that this was his top priority. A second issue discussed by the Chief
was his feeling that wages paid to agency personnel must rise to keep in step
with the department's high standards and the wages of surrounding agencies.

The Salina Police Department is continually striving to recruit and select
candidates for the position qf Police Officer representing the make-up of the
community. They utilize newspaper advertisements, local cable television
access, community groups, and area college and university job fairs in their
efforts to attract the highest caliber individuals to their agency. Indicative of their
efforts is the revision of their testing cycle. In the past, the testing was given
once a year. It was then modified to twice a year. It is now conducted once a
month. The department will make special arrangements with potential
candidate(s) if their schedules conflict with the scheduled testing period.
The relatively small minority population is a factor in their recruiting efforts. The
minority workforce population limits the number of potential candidates to recruit.
The Assessment Team was impressed with the efforts of the agency to attract all
types of candidates. The department has an impressive list of resources with
which it works to get the word out that they are looking for quality individuals.
The team was assured that every effort is being made to attract women and
minority candidates for the position of Police Officer with the Salina Police
Department.
F. Mock Assessment and Pre-assessment Plannin~:
The Salina Police Department conducted a Mock Assessment in early October.
Three officers from outside the agency with assessor experience came in and
conducted a very thorough file review. The primary lesson learned from the
mock assessment was they needed to inClude additional proofs of compliance in
their file folders.
The mock assessment confirmed to the department that their written SOP's were
well written and quite complete. No areas of major concern were identified by
the mock assessment. The.agency considered the mock assessment to be very
worthwhile and very beneficial. All recommendations had been implemented
prior to the arrival of the CALEA On-Site Assessment Team.
G. On-Site Assessment Summary:
The team arrived at the Salina, Kansas Municipal Airport late on Saturday
afternoon, December 9,2000.. The team members were met by Deputy Chief
Dave Dunstan, Accreditation Manager, and Lt. Bill Gerry, Assistant Accreditation
Manager, and transported to the hoteL... A rental vehicle was provided by the
agency for use by the assessment team during their stay in Salina. The team
met later that evening for dinner to introduce ourselves and get to know one
another. Team Leader Grannan conducted a brief orientation followed by a
training session before ending our day. We agreed to meet in the hotel lobby the
following morning.

On Sunday morning, December 10at 8:00 a.m., the agency Accreditation
Manager Deputy Chief Dave Dunstan and Assistant Accreditation Manager Lt.
Bill Gerry, met the team at the hotel and escorted us to the Kansas National
Guard Armory, 2910 Arnold Street, for the agency Static Display. Although not
required ota reaccreditation on-site, the display was extremely helpful and
informative. Many standards were verified by observation as a result of this
effort.
At 9:00 a.m., the team was taken to the Salina "Law Enforcement Center",
located at 255 North 10th Street. The Salina Police Department jointly occupies
this facility with the Saline County Sheriffs Office. It houses all functions of the
agency. The team was given a comprehensive tour of the Police Department's
facility that included key individuals being present in each area. The team
. agreed that the number of Command and Management level personnel present
during the tour, including Chief James Hill, was a very positive sign ofsupport
and commitment to the accreditation process by the entire agency.
After the tour,the team was takento their work area, located on the second floor
of the agency in the Training Room. The work area was of comfortable size, well
lighted and supplied. At 11 :00 a.m. the team began its review of written proofs of
compliance with applicable Commission standards. The team encountered no
difficulties during our initial standard review period. The staff was very
cooperative and ready to assist. File review continued until approximately 5:00
p.m.
On Monday morning, December 11, the assessment team arrived at the Salina
Police Department at 7:55 a.m. to begin file review. At 8:30 a.m. the team was
invited to attend the Chiefs daily staff briefing. The staff members each shared
information and brought the others up to date concerning agency business and
activities in their areas as they affected the department. This meeting served as
the introductory meeting with the Chief. We also had the opportunity of
introducing ourselves and speaking with the Chief the previous morning during
the static display. The team returned to its work area and continued file review.
At 9:30 a.m., Assessor Whitaker had the opportunity of attending the daily media
briefing conducted by Lt. Mike Sweeney, who handles the agency's Public
Information function. Throughout the day the Assessment Team had the
opportunity of visiting and speaking with personnel assigned to various functions
of the agency.
The public call in session was scheduled between the hours of 1 :00 p.m. and
5:00 p.m. The assessment team took nine telephone calls, the majority of which
were in support of the agency. Two additional calls in support of the agency were
received the following afternoon.

members of the Salina Police Department, attended the hearing. Seven (7)
individuals signed in to speak. One of the individuals, Mr. Earle Bess, also
provided written comments. The comments were very complimentary as they
related to the agency and Chief James Hill. One person stated that she was
there because the agency seemed to be targeting her son for traffic violations
and involvement in a motor vehicle accident. Deputy Chief Dunstan invited her
to come to the department a~d speak with him regarding her concerns. After all
individuals were given an opportunity to speak, Assessor Grannan declared the
Public Hearing closed at approximately 7:32 p.m. Ms. Kara Rhodes, a reporter
for the Salina Journal, approached team Leader Grannan. An interview was
given for the following morning's newspaper. Mr. Randy Picking of KSAL Radio
also interviewed Grannan.f"l1e Public Hearing was video taped by the
department and a copy was given to the Assessment Team.
At approximately 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, December 12, 2000, the Assessment
Team arrived at the Salina P,olice Department to continue their file review and
conduct other on-site activities. Throughout the morning the team had the
opportunity of meeting and speaking with other agency personnel and functions
fofthe purpose verifying compliance with required standards.
In the early afternoon, Assessor Brockman took advantage of an opportunity to
ride-along with Officer Chris McFadden, and Assessor Whitaker went on a ride-
. along with Officer Shawn Moreland. Team Leader Grannan accepted an
invitation from Saline County Sheriff Glen Kochanowski to visit with him. Sheriff
Kochanowski retired from the Salina Police Department and was elected County
Sheriff. He expressed his admiration of the Salina Police Department and its
Chief, Command Staff, and officers of the agency. He particularly highlighted the
shared cooperation of the two agencies. Team Leader Grannan met with Chief
James Hill. Chief Hill shared some of his thoughts concerning future issues he
feels will be affecting his agency. The Assessment Team was able to complete
its review ofthe department's accreditation files and verify compliance with all
applicable standards.
A severe winter storm was being forecast for the following day, so Chief Hill was
gracious enough to schedule the final interview for Tuesday evening. This
allowed the Assessment Team the opportunity of rescheduling travel
arrangements in an attempt to return home prior to the weather affecting travel.
The final interview was held at 7:00 p:m. It was attended by the Assessment
Team, Chief James Hill, Deputy Chief Dave Dunstan, Deputy Chief Barry

J. Performance Activities:
The on-site assessment team specifically looked at time sensitive reports and
analyses required of proscribed standards. With the one (1) exception described
in Section K beiow, the teamfound them all to be present and timely. The
information provided shows toat the agency continually looks inside itself and
critique the work and services they perform and provide.
Several unique relationships exist between the Salina Police Department, outside
agencies, and other entities that are worthy of note.
Ms. Cora Williams, President of Salina's Local Chapter of the NAACP,
spoke very favorably of the agency and its relationship with the minority
community during the Public Hearing. She said that any time an issue
arises, or may arise, she has had the opportunity of dealing directly with
Chief Hill. Many potential problems have been avoided by heading off
problems before they have a chance to develop. Her expressions of
support were encouraging and genuine, Mr. J. Q. Rodrigue spoke
privately to Assessor Whitaker prior to the Public Hearing. He spoke very
highly of the agency. In particular, he noted that the department is very
sensitive and attentive, to the needs of his community. He said that Chief
Hill is available any time of the day or night for assistance.
Salifle County Sheriff Glen Kochanowski contacted Assessor Grannan
and told him that the Salina Police Department is very forthcoming with its
assistance and cooperation with other agencies. Although the agency
took the mutual aid standard as a 20%, the cooperation is there,
unconditional, and unlimited.
Media representatives 'approached team members and told then of the
excellent relationship the agency and media enjoy. The agency is very
open in its release of information and cooperative when additional
information is needed. In return, the media is sensitive to the department
and its needs and makes every attempt to accommodate their requests
when needed.
The Salina Police Department's Communications Department provides all
dispatching services countywide. They dispatch city and county police, city and
county fire, rural fire, medical services, and other city and county services. It was
quite obvious that this area is'very well run, managed, and staffed.

4. Media Interest
At the conclusion of Monday's Public Hearing, Ms. Kara Rhodes, a reporter for
the Salina Journal, interviewed Assessor Grannan for an article that was printed
in the following morning's newspaper. Mr. Randy Picking of KSAL Radio also
interviewed Assessor Grannan for his station's news broadcast.
5. Public Information Material
The public information material provided was very good as was the effort to.get
the word out concerning the on-site. The Public Notice and all press releases
went out well in advance of the scheduled on-site and were picked up by the
local media. A number of recent news stories are evident of a well planned and
thought out public information plan. Notices of the on-site ran continuously on
Salina's local cable public access channel.
The on-site team conducted no follow-up of public information comments or
complaints. All notes relating to comments received by the team were given to
the agency staff.
Q. Exemplary Policies/Proiects/Procedures:
Not applicable. The agency did not offer, nor did the AssessQrs identify, any
policies, projects, or procedures applicable to this category~
R. Quality of Law Enforcement Service:
Chapter 1 Law Enforcement Role and Authority
The Salina Police Department's directives relating to the role of the agency and
limits of authority are very comprehensive and easily understood. They leave no
doubt about what is allowable and what is not. They effectively eliminate any
confusion from the equation. Directives relating to search and seizure were very .
well written and the files contained several pieces of documentation for each
standard.
Chapter 2 Agency Jurisdiction and Mutual Aid
The agency has sole jurisdiction within the city limits for municipal code
violations. The Kansas Highway Patrol, the Saline County Sheriff's Office, and
the Salina Police Department have jurisdiction relating to state statute matters. A
unique relationship exists between the Salina Police Department and the Saline
County Sheriffs Office. The Saline County Sheriff has deputized all Salina
Police Officers so they may assist the county when needed. This is another
example of the excellent cooperation practiced throughout the Salina Police
Department and Saline County.

Chapter 3 ContractualA~reements
The Salina Police Department has contractual agreements with both the Saline
County Jail, to receive and house "City Prisoners" in return for compensation,
and with the Salina Unified School District No. 305, for the provision of two (2)
officers to act as School Resource Officers. This is provided without
compensation.
Chapter 11 Or~anization and Administration
The department is very strong in its enforcement of "Authority" and
"Responsibility" concepts. It holds both supervisory and line personnel to a high
standard. This was highlighted by an Internal Affairs case detailing the discipline
of a Lieutenant for failing to supe,rvise. Its listing of required periodic reports also
make it easier for others to see the need and value of the reports:
The Planning and Research section appeared weak in that their were good
examples of required reports for the past 2-3 years but somewhat less than up to
standard for the year or two after their initial accreditation in 1996. The
documentation showed they completed the required reports but only to the basic
minimum required by standards.
Chapter 12 Direction
This chapter was very well written and documented. Each-training bulletin and
general order, new or revised, is provided to each officer who, in turn, is required
to sign for it. Each type of document is also placed in a manual with at least one
located in each Divisi<?n of the agency and accessible to all personnel.
Chapter 15 Crime Analysis
This chapter and its required reports had been somewhat neglected prior to
January 1999. The current employee handling these duties is the fifth one since
1996. With the development of a new computer-tracking program with an
enhanced format, past problems appear to have been resolved. Theteam felt
that the agency has re-dedicated itself to producing the crime analysis reports
required by this chapter.
Chapter 16 Allocation and Distribution of Personnel
The Salina Police Department does a thorough and concise job in the allocation
and distribution of its personnel. This is made evident when considering that
their normal complement of officers is not supplemented with a Reserve Officer
contingent. They appear to function quite efficiently with the sworn personnel
they have.

Chapter 17 Fiscal Management
The agency's fiscal management practices are very sound. Regular inventories
are completed and reported. Audits of monies are quite complete and occur
regularly. An outside Certified Public Accounting firm contracted by the city
completes annual department audits.'
Chapter 21 Classification and'Delineation of Duties and Responsibilities
The City's Department of Human Resources is responsible forthe classification
of all employees. They are categorized as either sworn or civilian. The agency,
in return, is responsible for maintaining and updating individual job descriptions.
All appeared to be well written and are available to all agency personnel in
manuals located throughout the building.
Chapter 22 Compensation, Benefits, and Conditions of Work
Compensation and benefits are determined and governed by the City for all of its
employees. If the benefit program is not governed by an outside entity (Le.,
State of Kansas for retirement), the City takes the responsibility of administering
the benefit for all of its employees.
Chapter 24 Collective Bargaining
Not applicable. The agency does not have collective bargaining or operate under
any labor agreements.
Chapter 25 Grievance Pro~edures
The agency has had only two (2) grievances filed over the past five (5) year
period. One was successfully handled internally while the other had to be taken
to the highest level (Director of Human Resources). The department follows
grievance procedure guidelines set down by the City's Department of Human-
Resources. They appear to work quite well.
Chapter 26 Disciplinary Procedures
The agency has a very well written and easy to understand disciplinary policy. It
is accessible to all employees in manuals located throughout the building.
Information included in the files showed a compassionate yetprofessional
approach in dealing with disciplinary matters. Due process was given in all
examples provided. Other than reprimands, which are not subject to appeal, a
good appeals process is in place.

from the department's central files. Confidential funds are available and
accounted for in a very detailed and secure manner. Written procedures are in

trained in the use of weapons and strategic tactics. The policy also outlines a
very well documented response to bomb threats.
Chapter 51Criminallntelli~ence
The collection of criminal intelligence information permeates the entire agency.
This is very well demonstrated by this agency. Files are stored in a secure area
with limited access. The policy describes a very good procedure for purging
outdated and incorrect information.
Chapter 52 I,nternal Affairs

of complaints made against the agency/agency empl,oyees. All internal affairs
matters are conducted very efficient and timely manner. The Internal Affairs

The public information function of this agency is certainly unique. The
department meets on a daily basis with the news media to discuss various
incidents that had taken place within the city. According to the Chief of Police,
this is done for the good of the public. This is a longstanding practice and
relationship and a plus with respect to police/media relations.

used to direct traffic enforcement duties within the city.
Chapter 71 Prisoner Transport
The safety and security of prisoners is a core task in law enforcement. The
Salina Police Department clearly understands this function and outlines it with
strict guidelines. This is very evident in the department's general order on the

thorough searches of the detainee.

CRIME PREVENTION/ COMMUNITY RELATIONS
ANNUAL REPORT
2000
To: Chief Hill
Deputy Chief Plunkett
Lt. Mansfield
The goal and commitment of the Salina Police Department is to develop partnerships and
resources within the community to build problem-solving coalitions, instill a sense of mutual
responsibility for enhancing public safety, to increase the community's awareness to resolve
issues related to crime, and to promote public confidence in law enforcement.
During the year of 2000, Officers of the Salina Police Department had numerous contacts with
the. citizens of Salina who voiced their concerns in several different areas. These concerns
ranged from suspicious activity in the neighborhoods, personal safety issues, inhalants, and
methamphetamine awareness. In an effort to resolve these issues the Salina Police Department
participated in a variety of programs to enhance public awareness and safety. These programs
and there effectiveness are listed below.
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
The Neighborhood Watch program targets problems in the neighborhoods, making the
community aware of what is considered suspicious activity, what to do and who to call in various
situations. During the year 2000, law enforcement officers gave three neighborhood watch
presentations, the same as in 1999.
BICYCLE PATROL
. Using the bicycle patrol officers during special events and in high complaint areas has been very
helpful. The officers are able to interact with the public and handle the various types of
complaints in a positive and efficient manner. During special events while targeting complaint
areas for the year 2000, the bicycle patrql officers spent 275.50 hours on patrol. During this time
37 cases were initiated, 39 airests were made, and 57 tickets were issued.
HEARTLAND PROGRAM
Officers are able to enter into the schools, and interact positively with the pre-school age students
by reading to them, participating in recess and other activities. During the summer officers
participated in a Heartland Summer School Lunch Program at several of the public grade
schools. This has given the students, parents and citizens a different view of law enforcement
officers.

D.A.R.E. is a collaborative effort by DARE certified law enforcement officers, educators,
students, parents, and the community to offer this educational program into the classroom to
prevent or reduce drug abuse, violence, and gang involvement among the children and youth.
During the 1999-2000 year, the DARE officers taught both a seventeen-week curriculum and a
K-4 program to 725 students. At the end of each school year, the Salina Police Department
conducts a D.A.R.E. camp for the students that graduated from the program. This program, over
the. last several years, has grown from forty-five to one hundred and thirty five students.
SAFETY
Officers participated in twenty-six safety lectures, seven Dill procedure lectures, five bicycle
rodeos, eleven methamphetamine awareness presentations, four inhalant awareness lectures, and
six-child safety seat checks during the 2000-year. Topics included personal safety, bicycle
safety, and child safety seat checks. .
SAFE KIDS
Being involved in this organization is proving to be a great program towards the enhancement of
public awareness towards the safety of children. Safe Kids, the Salina Police Department, Red
Cross, and other organizations have teamed together to participate in child safety seat check
lanes and bicycle safety checks to raise public awareness. During the year 2000, we participated
in six child safety seat checks and conducted five-bicycle safety rodeos.
KIDS CARE PROGRAM
During the year 2000, Officers conducted four child identification sites.in which 825 children
were fingerprinted. This program allows the Salina Police Department to interact with citizens,
businesses, and other law enforcement agencies.
SECURITY SURVEYS
Officers participated in nine business ancl home security surveys throughout the year. Working
in a cooperative manner, we are able to talk with the business and homeowners, find a solution
for a safer home, and work environment.
CITIZENS ACADEMY
The Salina Police Department and the Saline County Sheriff s Department conducts a series of
seminars that acquaint the citizens with the Departments, police training and other issues
involving the citizens of Salina and law enforcement. This is helping to increase the
community's awareness, resolves crime related issues, and to build confidence in law
enforcement.

COMMUNITY GROUPS
Officers are involved in various commuriity organizations such as the United Way, Big Brothers
and Big Sisters, March of Dimes, and National Night Out to name a few. Besides having an
impact on the officers, this involvement is having a positive influence with the public, as they are
able to see the officers in a different perspective. Many officers are active in their local churches
in different roles with the youth and the elderly. Salina Police Department Employees donated
over $3300.00 in 2000 to Project Salina to help feed the poor. They participated in several other
community projects during the 2000 year, including the Shop with a Cop program, Salvation
Army Bell Ringing (where the officers raised approximately $1327.00), and adopted three
families over Christmas.
V ACA TION HOME CHECKS
This is a great service that the Salina Police Department is providing for the citizens of Salina.
As you are aware, .we receive many cards and letters fr.om citizens thanking us for this service.
Over the 2000 year, the Salina Police Department has been actively involved in Crime
Prevention and Community Relations. This has been a giant step in building the publics
confidence and giving them a different perspective of law enforcement. The programs listed are
excellent, programs and should be continued by the Salina Police Department, as they are
meeting the concerns of the public and the goals and commitment of the Salina Police
Department. We need to generate more interest in the Neighborhood Watch program, possibly
getting the news media involved. Getting more officer participation can be nothing but a plus for
the citizens of Salina and law enforcement.
