I am respectfully submitting this Annual Chief’s Report for the Marion Police Department.
2013 was a year of stabilizing and rebuilding for the Police Department, as well the beginning of many
changes to come. After several years of declining funds and employee numbers, we are finally seeing
a slight reverse in that trend thanks to City residence voting in an income tax increase to bolster the
City’s safety forces. We started 2013 with 41 sworn officers, 10 dispatchers, and 2 civilian employees.
During the year we saw the retirement of Ptlm. Steve Chase, Ptlm. Dave Clemons, Ptlm. Electa Foster,
Ptlm. Brian Liston and Chief Tom Bell. Chief Bell served as Chief of Police for approximately 14 years
(the second longest serving Chief of Police for the City of Marion). After the return of all the laid-off
officers that wanted to return and the hiring of new officers we finished 2013 with 46 sworn officers,
11 dispatchers, and 2 civilian employees. As we start 2014, we continue to increase our staffing with 2
more sworn officers and 1 dispatcher being hired as soon as background investigations are finished.
Over the next couple of months the department will see a new Chief, 2 new Majors, 3 new
Lieutenants and a number of new officers appointed. This will be the largest change in personnel the
Department has seen in recent history.
The Department still sees drugs and drug related crimes as the number one challenge to address.
Officers and the MARMET Drug task force have aggressively attacked the issue and made numerous
arrests throughout the year. “Out of Town” dealers and repeat offenders continue to be a problem
that must be addressed by our community.
We had one homicide reported in 2013. Officers continue to investigate but as of now, no one has
been charged. Theft crimes continue to be a serious problem area and most are directly related to the
drug problems that we, and other communities, are experiencing.
We are currently working on adding 3 new cruisers for patrol duties. These would be the first new
vehicles in 3 years and very much needed to replace an aging fleet.
We look forward to continued rebuilding and fresh ideas for 2014. This will be my last year with the
department. I have enjoyed serving the last 34 ½ years and I know that the officers of the Marion
Police Department will continue to serve the Citizens of Marion in a professional and caring manner.
Respectfully submitted,

Thomas D. Bell served the Marion
Police Department from July 29,
1976 through November 6, 2013.
Tom was promoted to Chief of
Police (after serving as a Sergeant,
Captain and Major) in 1999 and led
the department through good times
and bad.
Tom was Chief when our
department was recognized as a
Flagship Agency by CALEA,
amongst many other
accomplishments. He was also the
Chief who lead us through a hiring
freeze and layoffs.
Tom was a constant force for the
Marion Police Department. His
steady style of leadership will be
missed.
His care and compassion for his
officers and loyalty to this
community will be his legacy.
Good luck Chief in your
retirement, you have
earned it!

Liston, Clemons, Chase and Foster all retired from the Marion Police
Department after honorable careers. Rietschlin left our agency to pursue a
career with the Ohio Department of Transportation.
These officers represent over 100 years of service to our community and they
leave behind very difficult shoes to fill. We are grateful for their service and
wish them well in their new endeavors.

Laid Off Officers come back to
work!
MPD laid off 16 valuable employees, in 2011. In 2013, we were able to

Rietschlin, Ptl. Rob Musser, Ptl. Matt Baldridge, Ptl. Rob Gery, Ptl. Josh
Harris, Ptl. Mike Diem and Ptl. Mike Woods came back to our agency.
All of the remaining laid off officers have secured employment with other

Operations Division
2013 Annual Report
2013 was a rebuilding year for the Operations Division of the Marion Police
Department. We began to recall officers from layoff in December of 2012 and we
eventually called back 8 of the 15 officers who were laid off. We also hired three new
officers in December of 2013 to bring our numbers up to 46 sworn officers. The
retirements of 5 officers (Chief Bell, Officers Liston, Clemons, Foster and Chase) and
the resignation of Officer Rietschlin made it difficult to get up to our budgeted
manpower numbers of 48 sworn officers. We also had some significant issues with
officers being sidelined with injuries, two of which led to retirements.
The Operations Division of the Marion Police Department is made up of all the
Uniformed Patrol Officers, including 10 Lieutenants, and the two School Resource
Officers. The Patrol Division operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They respond
to and investigate a wide range of calls including felonies, traffic accidents, thefts and
officer wanted calls. They are also responsible for proactive patrol duties and traffic
enforcement.
It is the goal of the Operations Division to provide the best service possible to the
Marion Community and we look forward to continuing to provide excellent service in
2014.
I am very proud of the work of the personnel assigned to the Operations Division. It is
the backbone of the department, the most visible piece of the agency and the one that
has the biggest impact. I want to thank each Lieutenant and Patrol Officer for their
dedication to the community and to each other.

Some highlights of the work of the Patrol Officers during 2012 include:
•
January 7- Ptl. Rowe investigated a severe child abuse case involving a 7 year old victim. Floyd
Welch Jr. was arrested on Felony Child Endangering charges. He was assisted by Lt. Beaschler and
Det. Graff.
•
January 13 – MPD received multiple calls of shots being fired near the area of W. Columbia/Girard.
Officers eventually discovered Charlie Randall had went inside of 355 Girard and they found him
pretending to be asleep in a bed (with wet/muddy shoes on.) A firearm was found underneath Randall
after he was removed from the bed.
•
January 29 – Officers responded to the Certified Gas Station on E. Center for a report of a abduction.
A city-wide canvass for the suspect vehicle resulted in Ptl. Burdick locating the vehicle abandoned on
Mt. Vernon Avenue. Ptl. Gabriel found the suspect walking near E. Church St/Homer St area. The
victim was eventually located and David Starks of Detroit was arrested and charged with abduction and
domestic violence.
•
January 29 – Officers responded to 206 S. State Apt. 5 for a report of a female being held against her
will at knifepoint. Lt. Radcliff, Lt. Clewell and Officers Padovano and Rowe forced the door and rescued
the female and charged Genaro Tovar with abduction and domestic violence.
•
February 2 – Ptl. Isom, Padovano and Lt. Clewell responded to 728 Davids for an active domestic call.
They arrived to find the female victim had been beaten, strangled and bitten during the assault. Jared
Dixon was arrested and charged with domestic violence, child endangering and drug charges.
•
February 21 – Officers responded to a burglary in progress call and found Jonathon Fry II running from
the area. He was eventually caught by Ptl. Esterline and tackled to the ground. He was charged with
Attempted Burglary, Obstructing and several warrants.

to obtain a confession from 67 year old Bobby Pyles.

March 9 – Dispatchers Knaul and Lehman got a call from an anonymous caller who said Crazy mike
was holding Black Ice’s girlfriend against her will and at gunpoint.” That was it. Using their
experience, knowledge, contacts they were able to determine who the players were in this report. A
trembling, female victim was found in the apartment at 198 Fairfax Apt. D along with Michael Cosey.
Cosey has a prior homicide on his record and was recently released from prison from a 2011 drug
arrest when this incident happened. We believe that the victim had been held hostage for 5-6 days
before being rescued by the Marion Police Department. Cosey arrested for Kidnapping and other
charges. Phenomenal work by Dispatchers Knaul and Lehman that quite possible saved the life of the
victim in this case.
•

Chestnut Street. It turns out that the resident at this address had caught Brandon Dunn breaking into
his garage. After an initial confrontation, Dunn went for a hammer and the homeowner took it from him
and struck him in the head with it. The resident tried to call 911 but dropped his phone at that point.
Dunn was being held to the ground when the officers showed up. Dunn arrested for robbery and
breaking and entering.

sister was in there with the boyfriend of the original complaint, Andrew Miller. The officers found the

2013 Investigative Division Report
Staffing for 2013 began much better than 2012. Lt. Adkins was assigned to the unit, as well as
Officer Marsh. In February the Chief and Sheriff committed 4 more persons to the unit for drug
investigations. Deputy Utley, Wheeler and Officer Isom and Elliott were added to the MARMET
staff for Operation Push.
Drugs continue to be the number one investigated crime in the city, followed closely by property
crime and crimes of violence.
Highlights for 2013:
•

A jury trial concluded on January 22, on January 23 Raymond Bertuzzi was found guilty of
the Aggravated Murder of Amy Aldrich in 2012. Bertuzzi was sentenced on January 29, to a
Life Sentence without the possibility of parole.
On February 4, Operation Push began, and in a two month period numerous search
warrants, arrests and drug seizures were made in an effort to make a statement to drug
dealers in our area.
In March, Detectives of the Investigative Unit began a homicide investigation into the
death of Timothy Daso. It was not apparent that this was a homicide investigation until the
body had already been taken to the funeral home, a day after the victim had been
assaulted at a local bar. No arrests have been made in this case, and the case remains
active with very few leads.
March was also a busy month for trials; the trial of Stacy Miller lasted nearly 2 weeks.
Miller had been charged with 15 counts of Robbery, and Thefts in Marion and the
surrounding area. One particular robbery involved the snatching of a purse from a 74 year
old female in the parking lot of Marion General Hospital. Miller was found guilty by the
jury on all counts, and was sentenced by the judge to 28 years in prison.
In July Detectives were able to GPS a suspect vehicle out of numerous thefts and
burglaries. The vehicle was followed to the Powell, Ohio area and after a short pursuit 2
suspects were apprehended.
August was a busy month for all detectives, Operation Revolving door was initiated and
over 40 repeat drug offenders were located and arrested. This particular case showed the
public first hand that many of the people we deal with, are the same people over and over
again.

suspect that they had GPS on his vehicle. The vehicle and suspect Christopher Frazee was
located in the Chateau Ridge area. The vehicle was followed to several houses and Frazee
was caught red handed in a house on Barks Road. Frazee was charged with several
burglaries and has since plead guilty and received 11 years in prison.
In October detectives assisted with a burglary in which a baby’s ashes were stolen in an
urn during a burglary. Fingerprints lifted from the scene of the burglary came back to a
Harvey Joseph. Joseph was located and arrested, however the urn has still not been
located.

houses were checked and a burglary located. They were both arrested and charged with
the burglary.
On November 4, MARMET and the Marion SRT served a search warrant at 282 Windsor

guns recently. SRT used multiple cans of tear gas to extract Kevin Jackson from the
apartment without injury to him or any officers. A tech 9 machine pistol was located in the
residence.
November 15, after an extensive investigation Johnny Russell and Bradley Miller were

during a search of 416 Davids Street.
On November 20, while Detective Troutman was out working drug cases he came across
suspects wanted for a string of burglaries in the county. Alicia, Chris and Aaron Lampkin
were all arrested and evidence was located in the vehicle.
In December after a several week investigation into a possible Meth Lab, detectives
executed a search warrant at 516 Avondale Avenue. The largest active Meth Lab to date
was located and 7 persons were arrested for the manufacturing of Methamphetamine.

The Marion Police Department saw a decrease in felony level crimes submitted to the
Marion County Prosecutors Office for prosecution in 2013. However, this number is
slightly misleading as numerous felonies committed in 2013 were submitted for
prosecution in the beginning of 2014.

2013 MARMET Report
The MARMET Drug Task Force is charged with investigating drug and vice crimes within Marion
County. The Task Force is comprised of members from the Marion Police Department, Marion
County Sheriff’s Office and Marion County Prosecutor’s Office and is part of a greater regional
unit known as METRICH based out of Mansfield, Ohio.
MARMET is a self-sufficient operation, with tax dollars being spent only towards the salaries of
the detectives assigned to the unit. All other operating costs are funded through monies seized from
offenders of drug investigations.
MARMET was able to add personal to the task force in 2013. Lt. Adkins was added to the unit and
in February “Operation PUSH” was presented to Chief Bell and Sheriff Bailey. PUSH asked for
more officers to be assigned to MARMET for 2 months. This operation was very successful; large
amounts of money and drugs were taken from local dealers. It was so successful, Det. Isom, Det.
Elliott, and Det. Wheeler were allowed to stay in the unit after their two-month assignment. Det.
Elliott was later assigned to the K-9 Unit and taken out of MARMET in July. In August,
“Operation Revolving Door” took place. This was a massive round-up of nearly 40 repeat drugtrafficking offenders in Marion. Most of the arrests were from “Operation PUSH”.
Marion’s heroin addiction is the most prominent problem facing our community. Heroin has taken
a strong hold against many of our citizens, and there is no shortage being imported to our town. The
“Marion Star” featured many articles in 2013 about heroin abuse. MARMET members conducted
more education demonstrations this year than in years past. The highlight of the 2013 education
talks occurred in April when a Town Hall meeting took place about the heroin issue facing Marion.
The meeting was attended by approximately 400 citizens.
MARMET did see a rise in drug cases in 2013. 2012 had 591 cases. 2013 had 779 cases. Seized
money was slightly down from over 2012 levels. Vehicles, valued at over $26,000, were seized in
2013. MARMET forecasted trafficking in heroin and abuse of heroin would be up in 2013; the
numbers proved the forecast correct, along with the trafficking and use of crack cocaine. Crack
cocaine seizures were up almost 400% in 2013. Methamphetamine was on the radar in 2013. . 3
Methamphetamine Labs were shut down; 10 people were arrested for their participation in
manufacturing of methamphetamine. The manufacturing of this drug continues to evolve and to be
very dangerous; those dangers were proven true with three officers being treated for exposure to the
chemicals during 2013. The task force continues to provide educational training to police officers
and fire departments in Marion County for Methamphetamine awareness.

2013 MARMET Report
In August of 2013, MARMET and Mansfield FBI worked a joint DTO (Drug Trafficking
Organization) with the main member’s original from Detroit, MI. MARMET detectives worked
hundreds of man hours over three months setting and listening to a “wire tap”. This case was very
successful and will results in 50 plus local indictments and nearly 15 Federal indictments for
conspiracy to trafficking in narcotics.
In 2014 MARMET hopes to keep its current staffing levels, and, with additional officers being
hired in 2014 MARMET would like to replace Det. Elliott. Drugs are the main problem in Marion
which leads to the thefts, burglaries, robberies and assault calls. MARMET will continue to
aggressively work with probation and the court system to send those offenders to prison.

Marion Post of the State Highway Patrol:

The Administrative Division has a support role at the Marion Police Department. They
have provided assistance and support to Operations, Investigations and Dispatch over
2013. They have worked closely with Chief Bell and Interim Chief Caryer to get through
the constant budget issues that came up throughout 2013. The Administrative Division
completes grant reporting; responds to media requests for information and comment;
compiles monthly and the annual reports; administers the MPD Facebook page (that has
over 6000 followers by the way and has been used to solve crimes, update citizens on road
and weather conditions and the like and also allows for two way communication directly
with the citizens we serve); purchases, maintains and tracks all departmental property
such as vehicles, computers and uniforms and many other duties.
In 2013, the Marion Police Department contracted with TRECA to manage our computer
operations. This allowed a police lieutenant to move back into Operations and better
utilize his talents managing a shift. We have had some growing pains with this move but
we are in better position to address our constantly evolving IT needs. The more
technology we use to improve our efficiency, the more dependent we become on
equipment that needs to be constantly maintained, fixed and upgraded. In fact in 2014,
we have increased the amount of support we get from TRECA to continue to handle our
growing IT needs. Jacob Boldin and Rick Young are our personnel from TRECA.
Lt. Daryl Burbaugh continued to provide steady service to MPD in 2013. Lt. Burbaugh is
responsible for the fleet and its management. This includes the equipment that goes
along with the cruisers. As our equipment has aged and not been replaced on a regular
schedule due to finances, managing the fleet takes more time and expertise. We have
spent a good portion of 2013 preparing to purchase new cruisers that will actually happen
in 2014. Lt. Burbaugh also is the Special Duty coordinator.
Diane Patrick is the records clerk and the glue that keeps our agency together. Diane
handles the filing of all paperwork, the public records requests, the bills for the
department, the ordering of uniforms and supplies and handles the mail for the agency.
With the hiring of 3 new patrol officers, re-issuing equipment to the laid off officers and
collecting the equipment of retiring officers, Diane has been very busy with Quartermaster
in 2013. In February of 2013, Diane was named the 2012 Marion City Employee of the
Year. She was nominated by her peers as the 2013 Police Department Civilian Employee
of the Year and is very deserving of both honors!
Page 19
The Administrative Division of the Marion Police Department has very serious issues to
contend with in 2014. The infrastructure at the agency is sorely lacking. Our fleet has
over 3 million miles on them or an average of 103,615 per vehicle. Our oldest cruiser is a
2006 Crown Victoria. The average mileage on the cruisers is 109,929. The Marion Police
department spent $89,238.80 on vehicle maintenance in 2013. We have 10 Mobile Data
Terminals that run on the Windows XP operating system and that is no longer being
supported, which means that they no longer meet the security requirements to run LEADS
on. As stated earlier, the more reliant we become on technology (and we are very
reliant), the more urgent the upkeep and replacement of that technology becomes.
I am very proud of the employees who work in the Administrative Division of the Marion
Police Department and the work that they do. They are the behind the scenes personnel
that makes the officers on the street much more efficient because of the support they give
to them.

Harding High School Resource Officer 2013 Report
During the 2013 year I was assigned to this position for the start of the
2013-2014 school year. I have met many good people and only a handful
of students are making bad decisions. There was a about a five percent
decrease in the number of charged filed at the high school this year over
last year.
There has been an increase of conveying weapons into the school from
2012. In 2012 there was only one case. In 2013 there were four and all of
these weapons were knives. The students all brought them from home and
had no intent of using the knives for violence in the school.
There has been a slight decrease of assaults in the school from 2012. I
believe that presenting information to the students about bullying had
helped in decreasing these assaults. I ended up conducting six
presentations to students at the high school. These presentations also
included cyber-bullying and “sexting.” Many of the students had no idea
the severity of sexting and what they could face by doing this.
I also was able to reach out to all the elementary schools and conduct
an onsite visits for safety issues. I was able to meet with principals after
observing the school and present them with a report. This report made
recommendations as to how to make their staff members and students
safer. I felt as if it was my obligation to present them with this safety
check.
Ptlm. Dunaway and I were able to present A.L.I.C.E training to all the
district principals in August this year. We hope this is just the beginning to
attempt to train all staff members in this district.

2013 Grant Middle School Resource Officer Report
2013 was a very different year for me. Taking on the position of SRO at Grant
Middle School was completely different from street patrol, which I have done for
many years. I was selected for the open position at Grant in mid-March 2013, but
was already scheduled to go to Harding in August. The first day here was nonstop
and has been that way every day since. After being here a month or so, the option
was given to me to stay or go to Harding. Without a second thought I stayed. The
staff is amazing and so great to work with. I am very proud to be a part of the vision
and what they (we) want the school to become. I enjoy being a part of and working
to make this a great and safe place to be educated. Being here every day not only as a
police officer, but as a staff member has been very rewarding. What goes in reports
is only a small portion of what a SRO does each day, there is so much more to it. I
never understood that until taking this position, but I enjoy every moment.
We implemented a “Hot Line” for the kids to call and report anything they feel needs
to be addressed. Students can remain anonymous or give personal information. This
has been very successful!
I have worked with MARMET, ADAMH Board, and local businesses on a county
wide drug program for Middle and High School students with rewards and prizes
from community businesses. This program will start in the early part of 2014 at
Grant.
I attended ALICE training and became a certified instructor. Marion City Schools
adopted the program at the start of the 2013-2014 school year.
Hopefully next year the criminal fillings will decrease. Presence and visibility is the
factor that helps in this, as I saw the criminal fillings decrease from my start until
now. The following are criminal fillings I submitted from the schools in 2013.

2013 Marion Police Department Property Room Report
The Marion Police Department Property Room is staffed by the 2013 Civilian Employee of the Year
Kathy Caudill. Kathy is supported by Diane Patrick when Kathy takes a day off. This function of
the police department is one that most people do not think of when they think of MPD.
However, the work done by Kathy is indispensable to the operation of the agency.
At the time this report was written, there were 14,582 total items in the custody of the Marion
Police Department Property Room.
In 2013, the property room took in 3,171 items. 436 of those items were sent to the forensic
laboratory at BCI, another 36 went to other Forensic Labs and 6 went the Ohio State Patrol lab
An important part of the job in the property room is to attach photographs taken by officers to
the appropriate report and to track them from there. In 2013, we attached approx. 1,600 folders
of pictures to reports.
The property room also disposes of property that is brought in at the conclusion of the cases. We
return property to its owners, we destroy property, we convert property to the police department
and we auction property off to the general public.
In 2013, we destroyed 2,357 items, converted 4 guns to MPD, and converted $10,706.00 to
MARMET Trust Fund. We also conducted an auction with Ben Higgins as our auctioneer and sold
items that placed $28,279.99 to the Law Enforcement Trust fund and $5,408.81 to General Fund
of the City of Marion.
In partnership with the B.I.K.E program at Marion Correctional Program, we donated 100
recovered bicycles that went unclaimed to be refurbished by inmates. These bicycles were then
donated to area youth who needed them
Lastly, we participated in two different medical disposal days where citizens brought in unused
medication and turned them in to be safely destroyed. We also take this kind of medication
every day for anyone who wants to bring it in to us.
I would like to thank those who helped make 2013 a successful year in the Marion PD Property
Room, especially Kathy Caudill.

2013 Combined Dispatch Center Report
The Marion Combined Dispatch Center has always prided itself on providing quality service to the
Marion City Police and Marion City Fire Departments. We have a very professional center due to
the experience and training of our Communications Officers. They have over 8 years of
experience on average. Our Combined Dispatch Center handles not just emergency calls for
police and fire, they also are in charge of maintaining the towed vehicle file and the warrants
issued to the Marion Police Department.
On July 1st 2013, the Marion City Combined Dispatch Center took over the responsibility of
providing communications for two of the County Fire Departments. There was an adjustment
period between all departments involved and things were ironed out. In October 2013, two more
County Fire Departments signed on with the City for their communication needs and, again it was
a learning period for all involved.
We are learning as we go and gaining the experience needed to continue to provide the best
possible service every jurisdiction we are communications to.
Combined Dispatch continues to be a very busy place and it is very different than it was just a few
short years ago. We need a new radio system to continue to provide the service that is expected
and we are looking forward to 2014 and a new radio system being purchased and installed to help
alleviate some of the bleed over and muting of some of the departments experience when
everyone has radio traffic at once.
We are still not up to our fully authorized staff numbers in Combined Dispatch Center and it does
not appear that we will reach a full staff of 13 full time employees in 2014. We did add a new
employee, Chris Walker in July of 2013 and we have a new communication officer starting in
January 2014. This will put the numbers at 12.
I am extremely proud of the employees of the Marion City Combined Dispatch Center. A lot is
asked of them and they are sometimes under appreciated. However, they have one of the most
difficult and stressful jobs in public safety. They work a lot of long hours and we certainly
appreciate all they do for those that they serve.

2013 K9 Unit Report
The unit has seen a lot movement this year. After years of dedicated service as a decoy and then as a handler,
Patrolman Matt Creps stepped away from the unit. His dedication and work ethic will be missed by the unit. Thank you
for your service Matt.
It was determined that canine Bosco still had several years of service and the decision was made to see if he could be
re-trained with a new handler. In May 2013, Patrolman James Fitsko and Bosco started re-training at Storm Dog training
in Delaware Ohio. One of the highlights of the training was converting Bosco from an aggressive alert canine to a passive
alert canine. On June 10th 2013 Patrolman Fitsko and Bosco were certified by OPOTA as a working team.
In 2013, MPD sought and obtained additional funding from the community with the promise that the money would go
towards adding a new canine team to the department. Donations were obtained from The Brandy Winfield Poker Run
and The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #584.
Patrolman Mark Elliott was chosen as the next handler. Mark had also put in several years of dedicated service to the
unit as a decoy which made his selection as the next handler very easy. Patrolman Elliott met with certified trainer
Mike Pennington of Storm Dog training and together they choose a canine that would fit the needs of our agency. They
decided on a 1 year old Dutch Sheppard from France. The new team would be trained as a dual purpose team, meaning
they would be certified in narcotic detection and patrol work.
In recognition of donations received to purchase the canine Patrolman Elliott wanted to name his new partner in a way
that honored both organizations. Patrolman Elliott decided on naming his new partner Six. Six was Brandy Winfield’s
unit number. “Having your six” is also a common term that is used in the military service that indicates your partner has
your back.
Patrolman Elliott and Six started their training in October of 2013. They attended training five days a week for eight to
ten hours a day. In November 2013, they were certified by OPOTA as a team. Both teams have been working the street
since certification.
The unit continues to do maintenance training with Storm Dog Kennels on a weekly basis. Training normally takes place
on Tuesday mornings.
In 2014 the unit would like to try to advance the role of the canine unit by cross training with Special Response Team.
Patrol Elliott is a member of SRT and we hope to incorporate Six as a member of the team to further advance the
capabilities of the team.
Both teams only worked the street for a short time during 2013 in 2014 we hope to report more usage.
Vehicle narcotic searches: 17
Area evidence search: 3
Suspect building searches: 3
Suspect tracks: 7
There were no canine apprehensions to report for 2013.
There were three narcotic arrests made in 2013 as the result of a canine sniff.
Respectfully submitted James Fitsko

2013 Special Response Team Report
The Marion Special Response Team (SRT) is comprised of selected officers who are specially
trained in weapons and tactics. SRT is activated for the most serious calls involving armed and/or
dangerous individuals, ranging from barricaded subjects to drug search warrants.
The Special Response Team of the Marion Police Department again went through numerous
changes in 2013. Officers Eric Marsh, Matt Creps and Jamie Ralston were added to the team and
attended Basic SRT Training at the OSP Academy in Columbus. Officer Mark Elliott was also
added to the team but has yet to attend his basic training. Officer Elliott will attend basic training in
2014 as he was away for six weeks in the latter part of 2013 to attend K-9 Training.
Officer Padovano is still active with the team but has been injured for second half of the year,
which currently gives the team 8 officers available for call-out. Ultimately, the goal would be to
again reach a ten member team.
The purchase of new advanced body armor was made a priority in 2013. The majority of the
ballistic vests worn by officers had been expired for two years due to cost of replacement. SRT
sought the assistance of area service organizations and obtained the funding the purchase highly
protective ballistic vests, which include groin, throat and bicep protection. The American Legion
Post 162 purchased six of these vests. Knights of Columbus Council Council 671 purchased one
vest and the Marion Police Department purchased the remaining vest. The overall cost to replace all
eight vests was approximately $16,000.
Looking to 2014, the SRT looks to add another officer and to continually improve our equipment,
to include the possible addition of a new SRT vehicle.
SRT was deployed on four operations in 2013. A brief of each operations follows;
13-01
880 block of N. Prospect Street to apprehend an alleged rape suspect that was also reportedly
armed. This particular residence was also a drug location. Two subjects (including the suspect)
were detained and transported to MPD where they were turned over to investigators.
13-02
200 block of Blaine Ave. for the service of a drug warrant for MARMET. Multiple Chicago drug
dealers were allegedly dealing out of this location and there were reportedly firearms inside the
home. Multiple persons were arrested from this location stemming from a wide-spread drug sweep.
Page 30
2013 Special Response Team Report
13-03
280 block of Windsor St. for service of a drug warrant for MARMET. This location was covered
by security camera and MARMET and MPD received multiple pieces of information to indicate the
presence of drugs and guns at this location. SRT initiated contact and when residents refused to
answer, flameless CS gas was deployed into the structure. Two subjects then surrendered to SRT
and a Tech-9 firearm was recovered from within the residence. This warrant was served in
conjunction with “Operation Revolving Door”.
13-04
420 block of Park Street for the service of a MARMET search warrant. It was reported that this
location had multiple occupants who were selling drugs and in possession of multiple firearms. A
total of four subjects were arrested from this home, three of which were juveniles. A loaded
shotgun and a loaded assault rifle was removed from this location.

increase of 390 domestic related calls for service over 2012’s total of 1517. There were
also more domestic violence reports made in 2013. 2012 saw 314, whereas 2013 saw
346. There was also an increase in the amount of injuries that the victim sustained as a
result of domestic violence. In 2012 there were 101 victims injured. In 2013 there were
156. This is an increase of 55 more injured victims.
The highest month in 2013 for domestic related calls for service was in May. May
had 189 domestic related calls for service. The highest month for domestic violence
reports was June with 37 reported incidents. This is more than 1 domestic violence
offense occurring each day.

2013 Juvenile Report
The Marion Police Department responded to 500 cases during 2013 in which juveniles were either
arrested or charges were requested. These calls involved 358 males and 142 females. Of the 500
cases, 341 cases were filed by the juvenile prosecutor, 2 were prosecution declined, and 158 I have
never gotten an answer on. Most of those cases are likely pending and/or prosecution declined, but
I have not received anything official on it.
The number of juveniles arrested and taken to JDC in 2013 were 170. This is considerably
lower than the number arrested in 2012, when there was 225.

2013 Community Policing Report
In 2013 Officer Liston retired in mid April. Officer Marsh took
over as the new Community Policing Officer.
There were 58 Block Watch meetings in 2013. There were normally
between 4 and 6 meetings each month except for December. All but one
of the block watches took the month of December off to concentrate on the
holidays. Meetings were held on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and
Thursdays.
There were three captains meetings, all of which were held at MPD.
There was also a meeting for all of the block watches held at MPD where
Lt Adkins did a drug presentation.
I had 7 Block Watch interest meetings in 2013. Of those 7 meetings,
3 formed new block watches and 1 is still interested. The 3 others have
not contacted me back.
One of the newly formed block watches organized a day for us to get
together and paint a garage that had graffiti spray painted all over it. The
garage was to the rear of a rental house off of an alley. The owner of the
property was contacted and allowed us to paint the garage to cover the
graffiti. The paint and time were donated by all of the block watch
members.
I look forward to continuing with the block watch program
throughout 2014!!

into north/south districts. They are numbered 1 through 4 in a counter-clockwise fashion, so
District 1 is the NE part of the City; District 2 is the NW part of the City; District 3 is the SW
part of the City and District 4 is the SE part of the City.

2013 Impaired Driving Enforcement Report
A few of the main highlights for the 2013 year relating to Marion City Police
Department Drunk Driving Enforcement involved, working two OVI Sobriety
Checkpoints with The Marion Post of Ohio State Highway Patrol. This again was a
positive community awareness event of one of the leading reasons for vehicle
crashes. Ptl. Andy Burdick led the department during the year with 5 OVI arrests.
Another positive is the community played a large role with our OVI Enforcement by
reporting drunken drivers. We want to thank the Marion Community for this help and
look forward with the continued support for 2014.
There are some additional important factual points resulting from our 2013
OVI arrests and they are listed below.
• Top three reasons for the traffic stop: 1. Reported Drunk Drivers = 17, 2.
Traffic Accidents = 13, 3. Wrong Way Violations = 3. These three reasons
accounted for 33 of our 39 OVI Arrests.
• Most by Time of Day: 8:00pm -11:59pm = 12, Midnight – 4:00am = 12
• Day of Week: Friday – Sunday (54%)
• By District: District 3(N/W part of the City)
• Test Results: Highest Test - .239, Lowest Test - .09, Number of Refusals - 10
• Highest Age Group: 30-39 = 10, 40-49 = 10, 50+ =10 and 20-29 = 8
• Gender: Males = 31, Females = 8
• Highest Shift: 3rd Shift officers led with 18 or 46% of the OVI Arrests

2013 Pursuit Report
In 2013, there continued to be a low number of pursuits. We only had four (4) for the entire year!
The pursuits were reviewed by the Command Staff of the police department and all were found to
be within our Pursuit Policy.
#1. – The first pursuit occurred 03-09-13. Officers attempted to stop a car on N. Main St. that had
been reported stolen. The car fled north bound on N. Main St. and turned west bound onto Klerx.
Officers lost sight of the vehicle west of Oak St. Shortly after losing sight of the car they found that
the car had driven completely thru a house at the corner of Klerx and Catherine Ave. The vehicle
came to rest against t a fence after going completely thru the house. The driver was taken into
custody and transported to the hospital with serious injuries. Two occupants of the house were
rescued by officers and were not injured. OSP handled the crash report and we handled charges of
OVI, Theft and Fleeing.
#2. – The second pursuit occurred the early morning hours of 06-15-13 during a drug interdiction
operation. A vehicle refused to stop for officers making a traffic stop in the area of Mt. Vernon and
Forest Lawn for traffic violations. The vehicle was “boxed in” and stopped in the area of Mt.
Vernon and Richland Rd. The driver was arrested for fleeing and drug abuse and two passengers
were arrested for outstanding warrants. A loaded hand gun was also recovered from the vehicle.
No one was injured.
#3. – The third pursuit occurred after officers responded to an alarm call at Marion Prescription on
E. Center St. Officers found a motor home ramming the front of the business. It than tried to ram a
police car before ramming the business some more. An officer fired one round into a tire of the
vehicle to stop it. The vehicle continued to ram the business and then fled the area. Officers pursued
the vehicle and the vehicle crashed on Jefferson St. The driver was taken into custody and the
vehicle was discovered to have been stolen from the county. OSP assisted with the crash and
diagrams. No one was injured in the incident.
#4. – The last pursuit of the year occurred on 12-04-13. Officers attempted to stop a driver for
running the stop sign at Jefferson and Wilson. The driver failed to stop and fled. The vehicle
traveled south on Grand Ave. to Vernon Hghts Blvd. The vehicle was last seen turning onto
Virginia Ave. Officers lost sight of the vehicle and stopped the pursuit. Officers were able to
identify the owner of the vehicle from the license plate and developed a suspected driver. A warrant
was issued for her arrest.
The Pursuit Policy was not changed or altered in 2013.

Explorers Post 6024
The Explorer Scout Program is designed for youth ages 14 to 21 who have an
interest in law enforcement as a career. The goals of Exploring are to educate and
involve youth in police operations, to interest them in possible law enforcement careers
and to build mutual understanding between young people and law enforcement officers.
The program at the beginning of the year seemed to struggle. Budget concerns,
low youth involvement and unworkable structure made it very difficult for the program to
maintain. Around mid year the program was reassessed and gained new leadership.
Since the change the program has went from 4 active members to 12 active youth
members and applications are constantly coming in for more involvement.
Our Post competed in the 2013 Law Enforcement Explorer Competition held in
May this year in Cleveland, Ohio. They competed against over 55 other teams from
Explorer Posts all over the state. Although the team was not awarded top honors, they
competed very well and were commended by many of the scenario evaluators for their
effort and teamwork.
In July our Explorers Post assisted another local Explorers group in their first
crowd control operation at the Marion County Fairgrounds. Five of our explorers
assisted during the week with the parking of vehicles on Fairground property. We hope
to make this an annual combined effort of both posts.
Our Explorers assisted with the annual Saturday in the Park held in August. This
is an alcohol-free family event in Lincoln Park. It’s a fun day of activities for children of
all ages. Our Explorers with the tutelage of veteran Citizens Police Academy members
helped walk the grounds of the festival to act as our eyes and ears. They spent time
learning about the different patrol techniques used in law enforcement.
With the new program both Advisors decided to start an Explorers police
academy with more structure. This new program started in September and since then our
Post has logged over 430 hours of specialized training in various fields of study related to
Law Enforcement. Over 300 hours of job shadowing and community service completed
by our post.
The Explorers assisted Advisor Cole with Boy Scout tours of the Marion Police
Department. They gave special directions to the children on the proper procedures of
fingerprinting which in turn helped the Cub Scouts earn their fingerprinting badge. The
Explorers did extremely well with these children who said it was their best tour ever!
We are extremely happy with the group of kids in the program this year and we
are very excited about the new direction implemented for the Post.

Citizen’s Police Academy Alumni Association Report
2013 was a very busy year for the members of the Marion City Citizen’s Police Academy
Alumni Association (CPAAA). Members of the organization logged over 2790.25 hours of
community service in support of the Marion Police Department. Many other community
organizations are now counting on the CPAAA as regular partners for assistance with their
parades, 5k runs, cruise-ins or children festivals.
The membership has continued to provide child identification cards when requested at
various community events throughout the year. This was done at five different events in
2013. We have had members coming into the Police Department to ID cards when have
Cub Scout tours as well. The membership has also partnered with Safety City to provide
ID cards for each child as they attend the program.
2013 also marked the first time in three years that the Marion Police Department was able
to host another citizen’s Police Academy. This was once again well attended and we
received a lot of very positive feedback. Several of the attendees have joined the Alumni
Association and have become very active members.
The assistance from the CPAAA is greatly appreciated. The CPAAA has done an
outstanding job of helping out this community, through their service, whenever they have
been called upon.
