2012 Annual Report - City of Eau Claire

2012 Annual Report
welcome CHIEF JERRY MATYSIK
Welcome to the 2012 Eau Claire Police Department Annual report.
All organiza ons are constantly striving to manage change. The Eau
Claire Police Department is no excep on. Numerous re rements
occurred in 2011, which had a significant impact on our ability to staff
appropriately. Despite the shortage, we have managed to hire quality employees and are now at full staff.
During 2012 we hired 11 new police officers, two telecommunicators, and four Community Service Officers.
In addi on, we re‐evaluated our current workflow and transferred a Law Enforcement Support Assistant
posi on to a second Property Technician posi on. This helped balance our work needs.
We are now involved in changing the physical structure of the department. We are in the beginning stages
of a remodeling project within the Law Enforcement Center. Throughout 2013 we will be transi oning
toward co‐loca ng the Police Department with the Eau Claire County Sheriff’s Office in a remodeled space
within the Courthouse building complex. This change will improve our ability to accomplish our
Department’s mission and improve coordina on between these two agencies.
Substance abuse con nues to be a major challenge for our community and contributes to crime and
disorder. Although we experienced a higher than average number of homicides in 2012, we were able to
clear these crimes through arrests. Despite these incidents, I am pleased to note that overall crime is
trending lower, and the 2012 crime sta s cs for the City of Eau Claire were the third lowest when
compared over the past 34 years (the lowest reported crime sta s cs occurred in 2009). In fact, most of the
lowest annual crime sta s cs over the past 34 years have occurred since 2005. I strongly believe that this
good news is a result of u lizing progressive evidence‐based crime preven on strategies.
Crime preven on requires healthy partnerships between the police and the community. The Eau Claire
Police Department strives to build community‐based rela onships which further our mission. The Eau Claire
Police Department mission statement reads as follows:
“The mission of the Eau Claire Police Department is to enhance the quality of life in Eau Claire by
partnering with the community to solve problems, reduce crime and disorder, safeguard individual
rights, and improve public safety.”
Finally, I would like to thank the City Manager, the City Council, and the Police and Fire Commission for
their con nued support.

On October 6, 2012 current and former members of the
Eau Claire Police Department gathered to honor Officer
Robert P. Bolton on the thir eth anniversary of his death.
Officer Bolton was a four year veteran of the Eau Claire
Police Department when he was killed in the line of duty
at age 28 on October 6, 1982 while responding to a
domes c abuse incident.
A commemora on ceremony was led by Chief Jerry
Matysik and former Eau Claire Police Lieutenant and re red University of Wisconsin—Eau Claire Police Chief
David Backstrom. During the commemora on ceremony, a carved eagle sculpture was presented to Officer
Bolton’s family. This sculpture was carved from a tree that had been planted on the University of
Wisconsin—Eau Claire campus. The tree was ul mately removed in order to allow for construc on of the
new W.R. Davies Center.
During the ceremony, Chief Jerry Matysik awarded the
Chief’s Gold Coin to Officer Robert P. Bolton
posthumously, for acts of exemplary performance and
bravery. Three coins were presented to Officer Bolton’s
widow, Lynn Bolton BeBeau, and his children, Kara and
David.
Finally, a memorial stone in Officer Bolton’s memory was
rededicated on the Police Department grounds. The stone,
which had originally been dedicated on the grounds, had
been removed due to the construc on and remodeling of
the Law Enforcement Center. It now sits prominently on
the hillside overlooking West Grand Avenue and is a
constant reminder of those who make the ul mate
sacrifice.
Thirty years have come and gone, but Officer Bolton’s
memory lives on.

patroldivision DEPUTY CHIEF CHAD HOYORD
Approximately half of the employees working for the Eau Claire Police
Department are assigned to the Patrol Division. The Patrol Division is
staffed using five dis nct shi s. Three of the shi s reflect the tradi onal
day, a ernoon and midnight shi s. Two overlap shi s complement
these tradi onal shi s and allow the division to have adequate coverage
at mes of peak calls for service within the City.
The Patrol Division suffered a shortage in staffing a er a number of police officers re red in 2010 and 2011.
In 2012, 11 police officers were hired. With addi onal new hires on the horizon, we an cipate the Patrol
Division will be at full staff in early 2013. This will not only allow the Department to have adequate staffing,
but will also allow the reinstatement of the Special Opera ons Sec on (SOS), a small team of officers who
work to address specific quality of life issues. SOS provides a flexible response that can be moved to any area
of the community as needed.
In 2006, our Patrol Division was restructured by dividing the City into three specific geographic districts
(North, Central, and South). One Lieutenant, three Sergeants and 18 police officers work within each district.
The individual districts are further broken down into six separate areas in which the 18 police officers are
assigned a specific “beat.” Each officer is assigned to a beat for an en re year and works on community and
quality of life issues within that district. Each District iden fies specific goals for the year, while officers, in
turn, iden fy projects within their district that will help them successfully reach their goals. A number of
these projects are listed on the following page.
In addi on to the three major districts and SOS, the Eau Claire Police Department assigns one of its officers to
a Patrol Inves gator posi on. This officer is responsible for follow‐up inves ga ons involving traffic crashes
and ordinance viola ons and also conducts background inves ga ons on applicants applying for posi ons
within the Department.
Community Service Officers (CSOs) are civilian employees who are cross‐trained in parking and animal control
du es. The CSOs are also assigned to fingerprint and photograph subjects, validate stolen property records,
and assist with miscellaneous courier du es.
northdistrict
During 2012, the North District officers worked with the Parks and Recrea on Department to iden fy certain
demographic improvements that could help reduce criminal behavior within City parks. Controlling the flow
of traffic within the parks, combined with enforcement ac on, has resulted in the parks becoming more
appealing to families and has allowed the community to feel more comfortable using these parks. The parks
will con nue to be monitored and improvements will be made as needed.
Because the North District contains several major highways, public schools, and a large residen al area,
officers within this district are also concentra ng efforts on speed enforcement.
centraldistrict
The Central District has been working with the Eau Claire Academy to reduce the number of juveniles running
away from their facility. These runaways are o en responsible for crimes commi ed within our community.
Several mee ngs occurred throughout 2012 and officers within the Central District will con nue to work on
this project.
The university also falls within the Central District and certain quality of life issues result from student life.
Central District officers use proac ve approaches such as foot patrol, bike patrol, and partnering with
business owners to address quality of life issues that arise. Officers also work collabora vely with residents,
landlords, the University of Wisconsin—Eau Claire, and the Chippewa Valley Technical College to maintain
nice neighborhoods.
southdistrict
The South District has been ac vely working with large retail stores within the district to address retail the .
These partnerships have proven to be successful and procedural changes were developed that have allowed
the retail the processes to not only become more efficient, but also to reduce calls for service.
Officers within the South District also iden fied panhandling as a problema c issue. Panhandlers were
targe ng passersby on street corners as well as in businesses districts. This ac vity created traffic concerns
and garbage accumula on. Officers studied this issue and discovered that several of the par cipants were
posing as homeless, when in fact, they were not. Officers educated both the businesses in the area as well as
the community at large and provided advice on how to reduce panhandling.
detectivedivision DEPUTY CHIEF GERALD STANISZEWSKI
The Eau Claire Police Department Detec ve Division is comprised of 15
detec ves supervised by three Sergeants, one Lieutenant and one
Deputy Chief.
Cases that are referred to the Detec ve Division are reviewed and
priori zed. Follow‐up assignments are made based on the nature of the crime, the presence of poten al
leads, and the current caseload. The division supervisors review approximately 14,000 cases each year. 1,464
cases were assigned for follow‐up inves ga on in 2012. 1,101 of those inves ga ons led to a successful
conclusion, resul ng in a 76% clearance rate for cases that were assigned to a detec ve.
2012 was a par cularly busy year for the Detec ve Division. Major case inves ga ons included four homicide
inves ga ons, two missing persons cases, two fatal fires, two federal drug cases, and a 60 count sexual abuse
inves ga on involving a local pediatrician. Members of the Detec ve Division received the Chief’s Gold Coin
award for their inves ga ve efforts which led to a 100% clearance rate of these major case inves ga ons.

digitalforensicexaminer
Due to the rapid increase of use of computers to facilitate crime, there is a need to examine digital evidence.
Digital evidence is most commonly discovered during inves ga ons of child pornography, child en cement,
drug trafficking, financial crimes, and has, at mes, been cri cal in homicide inves ga ons.
The Eau Claire Police Department is the lead agency in the Chippewa Valley Regional Computer Forensics
Lab. There is one full me and four part me inves gators from three different law enforcement agencies
working coopera vely together to analyze computer devices.

have received and/or procedures that must be followed to properly dispose of their cita ons.
The Court Officer assists the City A orney’s Office by coordina ng all ini al appearances in traffic and

changes in law, statutes, or opera ng procedures occur, the Court Officer advises all personnel affected by
the revisions.
The following sta s cs reflect the 2012 forfeiture, traffic, and ordinance cita ons that are handled by the
City. Cita ons issued for, or in conjunc on with, criminal charges are not included, as these cita ons are
handled by the Eau Claire County District A orney’s Office.
When reviewing the accompanying data regarding cita ons and their disposi on, please
understand that the numbers are approximate. Figures are kept per calendar year and are based
on records at each phase of the cita on and prosecu on process. Cases are not individually
tracked to allow adjustment for those that cross calendar years, therefore cita ons issued in one
year may receive a pretrial in the following year, or a case pretrialed in one year may be set for
trial a couple of months later, wrapping into the next year and thereby affec ng a single year’s
totals.

communicationcenter DIRECTOR PAM MCINNIS The Eau Claire Communica on Center is a county‐wide center that
dispatches for 14 separate police, fire and medical agencies. The 22‐
member staff is comprised of 21 full‐ me Telecommunicators, three of
whom are also supervisors, and one Director.
During 2012, staff tracked 116,025 law enforcement, fire and/or EMS incidents in our Computer Aided
Dispatch (CAD) system. Telecommunicators handled nearly 181,000 telephone calls, of which 57,165 were
emergency in nature. In addi on, Telecommunicators responded to countless radio calls from field units and
also assisted walk‐in traffic.
The en re county of Eau Claire enjoys the benefits of fully enhanced 9‐1‐1 when using a landline phone. The
enhanced 9‐1‐1 system supplies Telecommunicators with a caller’s name, address and telephone number as
soon as their 9‐1‐1 call is answered. Wireless enhanced 9‐1‐1 was implemented in 2006 and provides cellular
telephone loca on informa on to the Telecommunicators. Wireless 9‐1‐1 calls account for over half of all our
emergency calls. Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls are a bit different. While these calls are delivered
with iden fying informa on, the accuracy or completeness of that informa on is con ngent on what has
been programmed into that device/system. In the case of all three types of 9‐1‐1 calls, even if the caller
hangs up prior to the call being answered, the hang up call is s ll delivered along with the enhanced
informa on.
Telecommunicators use the computer technology at their finger ps to enhance the quality of service
provided to the community. Telecommunicators con nually enter informa on into the CAD system, which is
shared with field units both over the radio and through the computer. All seven law enforcement agencies in
Eau Claire County, including the Eau Claire Police Department, have laptop computers in their vehicles. In
addi on to receiving informa on from the Communica on Center, they use these computers to check local,
state and na onal databases for informa on. The Eau Claire Fire Department medics and ba alion chief also
have laptops. This allows the Communica on Center and field units to share a great deal of informa on,
which o en includes the history of prior contacts at an address.
The Communica on Center staff u lizes a computerized version of the Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD)
cards to determine the appropriate level of Emergency Medical System (EMS) response. In addi on to audio
dispatch of recommended units to each incident, this EMD informa on is sent to the laptops as well. The Fire
Department also receives all their runs, both Fire and EMS, immediately via fax machine to each sta on.
Telecommunicators are o en responsible for administering pre‐arrival instruc ons on how to administer
CPR, methods to stop bleeding, etc.
The Communica on Center is also responsible for distribu ng severe weather watches and warnings to the
ci zens of Eau Claire County. The Telecommunicators have the responsibility of ac va ng the sirens within
each community in the event that a severe thunderstorm or tornado warning has been issued for their
specific community.

The forensic examina on of physical evidence is a cri cal element in police efforts to conduct successful
criminal inves ga ons and subsequent prosecu ons. The forensic science field is ever‐changing with
improvements in DNA analysis, new processes for developing latent fingerprints, and innova ons for
documen ng crime scenes. These scien fic and technological breakthroughs have made it feasible to collect
and analyze evidence that was never before thought possible.
The Eau Claire Police Department Crime Scene Unit consists of 25 police officers that have received
addi onal training in the proper iden fica on, collec on, analysis, and documenta on of forensic evidence.
The Crime Scene Unit regularly responds to major crime scenes such as death inves ga ons, burglaries,
robberies, sexual assaults, and shoo ngs.
In addi on to responding to crime scenes, members of the Crime Scene Unit analyze physical evidence in the
evidence laboratory. We are fortunate to have training and equipment that allow us to u lize Alternate Light
Source (ALS) technology, advanced latent fingerprint iden fica on techniques, advanced DNA collec on
methods, and specialized photography.
Technological advancements make the ongoing training of evidence technicians more important than ever.
Every year several members of the Crime Scene Unit a end training sponsored by the Wisconsin State Crime
Laboratory, Wisconsin Department of Jus ce, and other na onally recognized experts. This training is
brought back to our community and shared with the remainder of the Eau Claire Police Department Crime
Scene Unit and other regional law enforcement agencies.

officers of the Eau Claire Police Department. They are a resource to officers who, in the course of their du es,
encounter persons in crisis. They also serve as a resource to those in our community whose lives have been
broken by violence or tragedy.
Chaplains provide the following services:
 Assis ng officers with death no fica on
 Assis ng with homicides and suicides, fatal or serious injury crashes, and other cri cal incidents
 Serving as a resource for personal issues of Department personnel
Officer Todd Johnson works with Head Chaplain Laura Kelley to provide program coordina on. The Chaplains
meet monthly for ongoing training and have a rota ng on‐call schedule, making them available on a 24‐hour
basis.
Chaplains are also encouraged to par cipate in the life of the Department; being part of the happy mes and
being present during mes of tragedy. The Chaplains also generously hosted the seventh annual Holiday
Gathering for Police Department personnel and their families.
The Mission Statement and Core Values of the Police Chaplaincy Program are as follows:
missionstatement
Spiritual care is offered to every officer and ci zen, especially in mes of crisis,
through a ministry of presence, service and compassion.
corevalues
The Core Values of the Police Chaplaincy program include: ministry of presence,
spiritual support, leadership, commitment to quality and pursuit of excellence
through professional growth and development.
policechaplaincyprogram The field‐training of newly hired police officers is a cri cal func on performed by members of the Eau Claire
Police Department’s Police Training Officer (PTO) program. The PTO program consists of 17 officers and ten
supervisors who are dedicated to the mentoring and development of new officers. The skills that new officers
develop during this program lay the founda on for their careers.
The PTO training model was developed by the United States Department of Jus ce to complement Problem‐
Oriented Policing and Community‐Oriented Policing philosophies. PTO training uses adult learning strategies,
emphasizes cri cal thinking, and develops problem solving skills. The PTO training model supports the Eau
Claire Police Department’s Problem‐Oriented Policing philosophy.
A newly hired officer begins the PTO program a er comple ng his or her recruit academy training. During the
PTO program, the new officer is partnered with several field‐training officers over a 15 week period. The
program focuses on learning objec ves such as leadership, conflict resolu on, officer safety, communica on
skills, and legal procedures. As the training program progresses, the learning objec ves for the new officer
become more challenging.
During a new officer’s field‐training he or she must also iden fy a problem within our community and
develop a plan to address the problem. At the conclusion of the training program, the new officer presents
his or her project to a panel consis ng of the Chief of Police, the Deputy Chief of Patrol, the Deputy Chief of
Detec ves, Director of Administra on, Communica on Center Director, as well as their training officers. Eau
Claire Police Officers who have completed this training program have implemented plans that have reduced
crime in specific neighborhoods, prevented crime and disorder, decreased car crashes at certain
intersec ons, and improved traffic safety in a school safety zone.
The Police Training Officer Program fits well with the Department’s mission and problem‐solving efforts. The
efforts, dedica on and skill of the field‐training officers ensure our officers have quality training as they
embark on their careers to enhance the quality of life in our community.
policetrainingof icerprogram The Eau Claire Police Department’s Tac cal Response Team was formed in 1991. The team is currently
comprised of 24 members, all of whom have other full‐ me assignments within the Department. The benefit
of drawing members of the team from throughout the Department is that at any given me it is likely that
several team members will be working, thereby being available for immediate response to high‐risk
situa ons.
In order to become a member of the Tac cal Response Team, an officer must have a minimum of two years
of experience with the Eau Claire Police Department. Officers interested in joining the team must complete a
wri en applica on, par cipate in an interview process, and successfully complete a physical fitness and
firearms proficiency course.
In addi on to the standard firearms training that every officer in the department is given, each Tac cal
Response Team member must train for an addi onal eight hours per month. Certain team members receive
addi onal training throughout the year, including those with specialty assignments such as Sniper/Observers
and Gas Muni ons Technicians.
Whether in training or at actual events, the officers of the Tac cal Response Team take their role as tac cal
operators very seriously. The team is proud to offer the ci zens of Eau Claire the protec on of an
experienced and well‐supported tac cal team.
