THE SOLON POLICE DEPARTMENT
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
FOREWORD
During 2015, the Solon Police Department was able to continue its focus on training,
equipment and policy. We were able to increase our training hour attendance by approximately
32% over 2014. New equipment was obtained including a third of the vehicle fleet, addition of
radio signal boosters, and an upgraded HVAC system. And we successfully updated many
policies including implementation of updated Communications SOP’s and for the first time a
formalized Continuity of Operations Plan. While these are small examples, we think it is
important to show what we do as well. We’ve started to photographically capture some of our
work. It is imperative that we remember that we are the Guardians of the Constitution and the
people. We must remain prepared to fight and die for them. In order to truly be able to fill that
role, it requires that we have intimate knowledge of and empathy for those we are serving. The
following pictures illustrate some of our attempts to reach out to our constituency every day:

We continue to be lucky to have the support of our community with direct links through
our community relations programs including the Community Impact Advisory Board and our
various Citizens Police Academies, but we do not operate in a vacuum and we will do our best
to anticipate and participate in changes in police professionalism moving forward.
I must again take a moment though to acknowledge how thankful I am that once again in
2015 we were all able to return home each day to our lives and our families in a way that words
truly do fail to express. Ours is one of the very few and select callings wherein strangers, for no
adequately objective reason, can and will attempt to harm or kill us solely because we have
chosen to put this uniform on every day.
~~
It is the mission of the Solon Police Department to achieve excellence in service,
protection, and enforcement; and to preserve the peace of the community through dedication to
professionalism, integrity, proficiency, and education.
The members of the Solon Police Department continue to protect life, property and order
within the geographical boundaries of the City of Solon (Cuyahoga), Ohio. Additionally,
Department resources are used for the mutual aid of other local, state and federal agencies in
the administration of justice wherever possible. The Department also supports and interacts
with the community as a whole in non-enforcement activities including community education,

outreach and referral services. The within pages of this 2015 annual report document the many
ways in which this was accomplished by the sworn officers and the civilian employees of the
Department.
Most of the goals of the Department for 2015 were reached; some are still works in
progress. Several of the below items are more fully discussed in the individual sections that
follow:
-

Grant funded individual tourniquet equipment was obtained for each individual sworn
officer on the Department. All officers were trained in tourniquet application on self
or other individual requiring emergency treatment via web based video training in roll
call settings.
A secure evidence depository chute was purchased and installed allowing for nonhazardous and non-liquid small evidence packages to be submitted directly into the
evidence room without requiring the use of evidence locker space and minimizing the
points of contact in the chain of custody. Policy and protocol regarding evidence
submission was appropriately updated as well.
Five marked police vehicles were replaced in 2015 resulting in the first all SUV
marked fleet in Department history. All five vehicles were up fitted and placed into
service with little to no down time and replaced vehicles were auctioned with revenue
offsetting some of the purchase price.
Radio signal boosters for the state Multi-Agency Radio Communications System
(MARCS) radios in use as our primary radio communications link were installed in
the basement of the police facility to eliminate gaps in IP based radio connectivity.
The Mayor’s Court began utilizing a software package that allowed for internet based
payments on traffic ticket fines. A pad was installed in the lobby to supplement the
types of payment accepted directly at the Department. After testing, roughly $5,000
per month is collected directly through internet pay based applications.
Lieutenant Richard Tonelli graduated from the FBI National Academy in April of
2015.
Our fourth National Night Out was held in August again with the great assistance of
our Citizens Police Academy Alumni and Community Impact Advisory Board.
Contract negotiations with the five collective bargaining units in the Department
successfully concluded prior to the end of the year with five new legislatively
approved three-year employment contracts.
The Department hosted its seventh and eighth Citizens Police Academy classes in
2015, now having graduated 8 adult classes and one teen Academy. With almost
170 alumni now eligible and participative, the alumni association and the Community
Impact Advisory Board continue to have an impact and assist with various events.
The Department’s original 1998 dispatch center was renovated and re-equipped to
become compliant with county funded Next Gen 911 equipment and more modern
communications needs (further details below).
Jail medical services were specified and obtained through the RFP and bid
processes for the first time since opening to ensure best costs available to the City.
Major policy and procedure improvements were made with the completion of updates
to the Communications SOP, update of Electronic Speed Monitoring procedures,
and creation of a Continuity of Operations Plan for the Department in 2015.
The planned 2015 Police Department roof and masonry project which had been rebid and delayed will be going forward in 2016.
The 2015 Police Department HVAC renovation project was substantially completed
(further details below).

A new multi-year and automatically renewing zoning conditional use permit was
negotiated and approved through the Village of Glenwillow for continued operation of
the Solon Police Department range facility which is physically in the Village.
Citywide deer management plans continued and were completed without negative
incident in 2015 maintaining our low vehicle/deer crash incident rate.
While we report the established goals that we achieved above, it should be recognized
through the following pages, how much more we accomplish than that short list of goals. The
Department remained extremely busy, with stats that include: over 2,200 criminal/incident
reports (-10%); over 950 vehicle accident reports (+0%); over 14,500 calls for public assistance
(+0%); 1,127 criminal arrests (-16%); over 2,600 residential and commercial alarm responses
(+0%); 3,043 traffic citations (-21%); 1,900 prisoners booked into jail (0%); over 1,140 pieces of
evidence processed (-7%); 639 vehicles towed (-14%); 195 individual juvenile contacts (-24%);
and, 155 loose or wild animals trapped (-14%). Percentages reflect change from 2014.
It bears annual repeating that the accomplishments of the Solon Police Department are
a direct result of the professionalism and dedication to duty of the men and women who make
up the Department. And, while sworn law enforcement officers continue to be the most public
face of the organization, the many other divisions that operate to support patrol should also be
recognized as valuable parts of the Department as a whole. Twenty-four hours a day, seven
days every week, the members of the Solon Police Department continue to provide a high level
of service to anyone in need.
It is with a great deal of humility that I again prepare and present this report. It continues
to be my honor and privilege to have been given the opportunity to represent the amazing and
dedicated employees of the Solon Police Department. This report is respectfully submitted by,
Christopher Paul Viland, Esq.

MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
2015
Countywide Next Generation 9-1-1 and Dispatch Upgrade
After significant planning and preparatory work in prior years, 2015 saw the
funding approval, equipment purchase, infrastructure upgrades and installation of
equipment necessary to accept Cuyahoga County provided Next Gen 9-1-1 emergency
call software and hardware systems. This was an extensive project which required the
temporary relocation of all dispatch services to another room in the facility while the
dispatch center, for all intents and purposes, was gutted and re-equipped from scratch.
Dispatchers worked out of the temporary facility in the public report room for five weeks
while the project was completed and they were trained on the new installation.
Extensive outdated cabling and equipment runs were replaced.
Servers and
applications were condensed. Analog (push button) equipment was upgraded to touch
screen. Workstations increased from four monitors to seven, they also were upgraded
to variable height so that they could also function as standing workstations.

SOLON POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2015

After
The Fire Station Alerting system was upgraded from an outdated analog
telephone line connection to an IP based system connected through fiber optics. The
outdoor warning siren system was upgraded from a hardware based system to a
software desktop solution. And finally, our legacy 9-1-1 equipment was replaced by
County funded Next Gen 9-1-1 equipment and software. The entire project was
completed in coordination with and pursuant to County driven timelines and connection
deadlines, testing and training.
Systems Records Manager Carol Haddon served as the project manager and
much of the success of the project rests on her shoulders, however, the cooperation
and assistance of all the dispatch staff is to be commended for working under
sometimes trying conditions during renovations. On July 15, 2015, the County’s 9-1-1
vendor, the Department’s CAD/RMS vendor, AT&T, the City IT Department and others
were all present for the cutover from the 1989 legacy 9-1-1 system to Next Gen 9-1-1
provided through Emergency Call Works. The new system will allow for 9-1-1 text and
video as we move into the future.

Building HVAC Systems
Delays over the last several years pushed construction on a facility wide HVAC
upgrade into 2015 with primary construction beginning in January. The project was
difficult in that the chosen vendor did not meet adequate timelines and consistently
disagreed with the design specifications provided in the bid package. After numerous
dispute resolution meetings and one extension of time change order, the project was
substantially complete by September. The contract was originally awarded in an
amount of $538,665.00. As completed, the project came in under budget by just over
$10,000 which was returned to the general fund. In addition, the City collected $30,000
in liquidated damages due to non-compliance with deadlines and an additional
$37,107.93 in restitution for additional design and consulting expenses created by the
vendor.
The original consultant’s recommendation was for a $1.2 million dollar
replacement project which was then reduced to a two-year, two phase project budgeted
at $650,000. The project as completed was for less than half the original recommended
cost, however, there were certain phases of the project that were not included or will be
considered at a later date. The project as completed was designed to have the largest
impact over the most HVAC related systems at the most minimal cost in order to meet
our original needs assessment:
1. Ensuring that the prisoner housing facilities have adequate HVAC at all times.
2. Ensuring that computer/server/equipment housing rooms have adequate HVAC
at all times.
3. Providing a functional control system for the entire building HVAC.
4. Making all improvements in the context of energy efficiency and cost savings.
And, that goal has been accomplished. It is certainly contemplated that there will be
some seasonal adjustments, some warranty work, and some troubleshooting of
unresolved contract issues regarding the HVAC system moving forward.
Additionally, for all of the non-contract and non-warranty covered HVAC
equipment in the building, a preventative maintenance contract was required. A vendor
that served as a subcontractor during the primary HVAC project and provided excellent
service and pricing was awarded the annual maintenance contract under state term bid
pricing for 2016.
One of four dedicated air handling
units (AHU’s) at the facility which also
has two commercial HVAC boiler
plants and a large exterior
condensing fan unit.

Cuyahoga County Department of Public Safety
The Solon Police Department worked in concert with Cuyahoga County in
several distinct and various roles in 2015, including active participation in the Cuyahoga
County Emergency Services Advisory Board, Law Enforcement and Communications
committees.
The City of Solon became the sixth community in
Cuyahoga County to obtain Ready Certified status.
Ready Certified is a program designed to promote
communities in developing and operating emergency
management programs. The Department also
facilitates the use of the ReadyNotify system to
provide reverse 911 type information calls via smart
phone, SMS messaging or emails to residents who
have signed up.
The Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office once again provided deputies from their
Impact Unit to assist the Department with manpower for both the July 4th fireworks
celebration and the City Home Days event.
The Department continues to benefit from participation in the Countywide
Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) equipment and maintenance agreements as
well as grant funded MARCS radio infrastructure.
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office
Det. Kristi Harvey was assigned to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office’s
Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force in 2015 and participated in technical
training that she was able to apply to her current Solon caseload as well as being an
integral part of the Prosecutor’s Office’s investigation and prosecution of child
pornography and other child victimization cases throughout the county.
North East Ohio Regional Fusion Center (NEORFC)
The Department continues its work and
information sharing with the North East Ohio
Regional Fusion Center, a Federal agency with
the mission of deterrence of terrorism related
activity as well as consolidation of criminal
intelligence information in the county. In 2015,
Patrolman Jason Bender continued to serve as
the Terrorism Liaison Officer (TLO) for the Solon
Police Department. Various members of the
detective bureau also worked in partnership with
the NEORFC in criminal intelligence related
investigations.

United States Department of Justice / Department of the Treasury
In 2015, the Federal Government discontinued sharing of seized funds through
the asset forfeiture program for an undetermined amount of time. No local municipal
police agency will be able to obtain funding or equipment for the foreseeable future.
A Child Is Missing
Unfortunately due to a loss of funding the “A Child is Missing” program and
partnership were dissolved in 2015.
United States Marshals Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force
Sergeant Jamey Hofmann continued with his assignment as part of the U.S.
Marshals Service Violent Fugitive Task Force in Northern Ohio, in 2015. He is affiliated
on a part time basis assisting the Marshals in their pursuit of wanted fugitives. While
becoming an asset for the Marshals, he continues developing skills and connections to
assist the Solon Police Department in its concurrent mission to arrest wanted persons.
Solon Rotary / Solon Kiwanis / Solon Recreation Department
The Department again continued its longstanding support of the Safety Town
program in 2015. Department D.A.R.E. Officer Joann Felton was again instrumental in
the planning and execution of a successful Safety Town summer program. Safety Town
continued operations with its new mini-town with functioning traffic signals and
pedestrian signs, mini-buildings and accompanying fencing, signage and security as
well as classroom facilities in the Recreation Building at 6679 S.O.M. Center Road.
Various members of the Department, including bicycle officers, dispatchers and patrol
officers participated in various Safety Town programs and events.
PERSONNEL
The staff at the Solon Police Department is larger and more diverse than many
would assume at first blush. Along with 47 sworn law enforcement officers (including
detectives, canine, bicycle, narcotics and administrative officers), the Department
maintains a Dispatch center with 10 full time and 4 part time positions; a full-service jail
with a corrections supervisor, 10 full time and 6 part time corrections positions; a
Records division consisting of 5 full time and 1 part time secretary/clerks; a Systems
Records Manager; 1 full time and 1 part time building maintenance professional; 1 full
SOLON POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2015
19
time animal warden; 14 part time Auxiliary Police Officers; and, 4 part time school
crossing guards.
The following employees were hired, familiarized and trained in 2015 to fill
vacancies that remained unfilled from prior years or which occurred during the year:
-
Patrolman Anthony Horvath
Patrolman Paul Pettinato
Jail Supervisor Shawn Filmer
Corrections Officer Ebony Coleman
Part time Auxiliary Officer Martin Kaplan
Part time Auxiliary Officer Russell Potoma
Part time Corrections Officer Brandon Waller
Part time Corrections Officer Bertram Wherry
Part time Corrections Officer Hannah Matonis
Part time School Crossing Guard Esther Vazquez
Part time Dispatcher Patrick Kotar
Following the retirement of Det. Sgt. David Perchinske, Keith Kulak was
promoted to the vacant Sergeant’s position and Sgt. Jamey Hofmann was assigned as
the officer in charge of the Detective Bureau by mid-2015. Auxiliaries Richard Roberts
and Carla Carter both retired after many years of dedicated service to the City.
At the end of 2015, the Patrol Division remained fully staffed while preparing for
the pending retirement of Ptl. Anthony Longino-Thomas in 2016. The Corrections
Division was down three part time positions with hiring in process and preparations to
replace retiring C.O. Nanci Meier. And, the Dispatch Division was down three full-time
positions and two part-time positions also with hiring in process. Dispatch staffing
issues arose toward the end of the year as discussions regarding joining a regional
dispatch center became more serious. Records and other support staff remained at full
staffing.
As part of a continuing effort to support positive work environment and
relationships, the entire Department attended Connecting with Respect training to
bolster our interpersonal communication and recognize our perceptions and barriers in
dealing with individuals. Additionally, all Department job descriptions were reviewed
and updated with the assistance of the City’s new H.R. director and all employees
reviewed and signed off on the changes. All sworn officers participated in re-testing to
update our police officer psychological hiring models for the first time in fifteen years.
OTHER STAFF FUNCTION UPDATES
Community Services
The Solon Police Department participated in a variety of public relations themed
events and activities throughout 2015. Many of these activities were requested by
community partners. This includes citizen groups, businesses, houses of worship, and
SOLON POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2015
20
schools. Further, the Solon Police Department self-initiates positive community
involvement and maintains ongoing programs.
Solon Police Officers participated in Career Day events at Solon Schools. Safety
related presentations were made at other Solon public and private schools. Officers
attended block parties, gave interviews to college students, and participated in Solon
Blue Ribbon activities. The Police Department maintained involvement at the Senior
Center, completed station tours, and participated in Boy Scout activities. The
Department again provided career experiences to two Solon High School students for
two weeks prior to graduation. The Solon Police Department continued its involvement
in the City of Solon’s Safety Town program.
Below are some of the highlights of 2015:
•
On the first Tuesday of August the Department hosted and participated in its fourth
National Night Out event sponsored by several Solon businesses.
The
extravaganza was again held at the Community Center and included safety
seminars, vendors and resources for adults
along with food, games, and activities for
children of all ages. Citizens Police Academy
Alumni and Police Explorers added to the staff
and success of the event. The event has turned
out to be the perfect open environment for police
to interact with the public and promote crime
prevention strategies, safety and a strong
community.
•
The Department hosted its seventh and eighth Citizen’s Academies in the spring and
fall of 2015. Including our teen academy, now nine classes of residents and
business owners or managers (over 170 alumni) have been given the opportunity to
participate in hands on glimpses of what the job of a Solon Police employee is like.
The Alumni have bonded and participated as a group in many civic events as well as
social gatherings. In fact, primary responsibility for many National Night Out
activities has shifted to the many alumni volunteers that we have. Our Citizens
Academy alumni have all had the opportunity to participate in training at the firearm’s
range, conduct simulated traffic stops, learn about the law and operations, and ride
along with patrol officers on duty.

Our Community Impact Advisory Board (CIAB), formed from graduates of our
numerous Citizens Police Academies continued its three year relationship with the
Department in both an advisory role and through assistance with volunteer roles in
Department activities. The nine member board is elected through an Academy
Alumni vote, another of which was held in 2015.
We also continued our involvement with the Solon Recreation Department’s Blue
Ribbon Program, Career Days at the local schools, National Prescription Drug Take
Back Days, Solon Home Days, Alarm Response refresher training for all city banking
institutions, City Hall Government presentations to 2nd grade students, Stuff the Bus
with Fox8 News, our annual Food Drive and gift collections, the F.O.P.’s Shop With
a Cop Program, and Special Olympics through the Law Enforcement Torch Run, Tip
a Cop, and Polar Bear Plunge fundraisers.

The Department’s web and social media functions also are handled through the
Office of Community Relations. In 2015, the Department was a participant in the
citywide website upgrade. The Department’s Facebook® page and Twitter® accounts
had both exceeded 2,000 followers in 2015. Additionally, both Facebook® and Twitter®
are followed by the commercial media allowing rapid dissemination of emergency
information. The Department’s presence on the City web page is also maintained by
the Community Relations staff with frequent updates, posts and referrals to other media
types/sources.
Canine Patrol
The City of Solon is fortunate to have had a working police dog team in place
since 2010. In 2015, Ptl. Matthew Troyer and Canine Stryker continued their service as
the Department’s canine unit. Stryker has maintained his certifications as a dualpurpose canine; narcotics detection and patrol/apprehension. The canine team attends
training twice a month and is routinely on call for emergencies both within the City of
Solon and as mutual aid to other police agencies. Ptl. Troyer and Stryker conducted 51
narcotic searches in 2015; 22 criminal tracks; 1 building search; 21 public relations
demonstrations; and 23 mutual aid calls to neighboring agencies.

Bicycle Patrol
Bicycle Patrol Officers Willis, Fiktus and Cabot along with Ptl. Wagner.
Currently five sworn officers are certified to act in the capacity of bicycle patrol
officer in 2015. They served in both tactical patrol and community relations functions.
They were available, when manpower permitted, to perform as bicycle patrol officers
during their regularly scheduled shifts. Their duties included: traffic control, park/event
security, crowd control, criminal and traffic enforcement, patrol off-roadway, high
visibility patrol, and community relations / education. In 2015, the Bicycle Patrol
continued annual participation in the Dorothy Lewis School Annual Bike Hike, the
Memorial Day Parade, the Fourth of July fireworks celebration, the three day Solon
Home Days event, Safety Town, and Halloween Trick or Treat. The Patrol also
continued its longstanding partnership with the American Automobile Association’s
Helmet Smart program incentivizing youth bike riders to wear helmets and receive free
ice cream in return. The bicycle patrol hopes to get the opportunity to provide
recertification training to its current members and hopefully add a sixth member in 2016.
Boy Scouts of America, Explorer Program
Under the continued direction of Patrolman/FTO Courtenay Perkins, Solon Police
Department Boy Scouts Explorer Post 911 continued in 2015 in cooperation with the
Orange Village Police Department. Fifteen active cadets were in participation at year’s
end. The Post conducted 16 training meetings, including CPR and First Aid, Domestic
Violence Investigations, Traffic Control Procedures, Traffic Stops, Building Searches
and Room Clearing, Handcuffing and other overviews. They also participated in 11
events including parades, the 4th of July, Home Days, National Night Out, the Orange
Village Festival, School Active Shooter Training, OVI checkpoints and the annual live
CART exercise.
SOLON POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2015

In 2015, Explorers assisted various divisions of the Department with manpower
tasks directly related to law enforcement service. Explorer cadets were able to
participate in 19 ride-alongs with Solon Police officers. The Post’s treasury account
balance at the end of 2014 was $387.78. The Post will apply for a re-charter in
calendar year 2016, and it is hoped that a team from the Post will represent us at the
Explorer Competition in Akron in April of 2016.
Dispatch / Telecommunications
The Solon Police Department Dispatch Center, again in 2015, provided dispatch
services for the Solon Police, Solon Fire, Glenwillow Police and contracted Glenwillow
Fire/EMS Departments. Dispatch Center staffing became an issue towards the end of
the year due to discussions over joining a collaborative dispatch center. By the end of
2015, there was one full-time and one-part time vacancy and prior to the distribution of
this report, two additional full-time vacancies occurred. All dispatchers remained
certified in Emergency Medical Dispatch / CPR / and AED. Over 55,000 calls for
service were dispatched for Solon, and almost 3,000 calls for service were dispatched
for Glenwillow Village. Over 660 wanted persons, missing persons, protection orders,
stolen guns, property, vehicles and license plates were entered into the NLETS national
database.
After extensive research and drafting by Lead Dispatcher Terwilliger, along with
input from the rest of the staff, the Department’s decades old Communications SOP
was updated and put into effect. Also, dispatch saw a temporary relocation and
upgrade in equipment during 2015 that is more thoroughly discussed under Major
Infrastructure Projects.
Communications
Under the coordination of Ms. Carol Haddon and with the assistance of Lts.
Felton and Tonelli, Sgt. Hofmann and Ptl. Koretsky, various members of the SPD staff
continued to work to maintain a high quality interoperable communications system. The
primary issues dealt with in Communications this year were the temporary re-location
and upgrade of the dispatch center as dealt with in much more detail in other sections of
this report.
Additionally, MARCS radio signal boosting equipment was installed in the
basement of the police facility to remove any dead spots in the radio system. All 92
MARCS mobile and portable radio equipment received flash programming updates
along with individual radio identifier transmission capabilities. Interoperability with the
Solon School District UHF emergency radio system was accomplished and tested. All
in-service speed monitoring radar units were again re-certified in 2015.
SOLON POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2015
26
The Department maintained a greater than 99% in-service time for its
communications system and the small percentage of down time was determined to be
from a state network failure and not anything on the part of the Department.
Moving forward into 2016 the Communications function would like to replace all
portable radio batteries for the Department, as well as work towards continued
interoperability with SEALE and other agencies. The planned mobile command post
unit will require communications outfitting in 2016. The Department will also break out
its reserve UHF radio cache, exercise it and have it available during the Republican
National Convention in case of an IP radio systems failure that is forecast due to
excessive bandwidth requirements in the area.
Vehicle Services
Fleet management at the Solon Police Department remained under the purview
of Lt. Bruce Felton as assisted by Lt. Rick Tonelli and Sgt. Steve Galaska. The Solon
Police Department drove over 386,000 miles in 2015 (-14%) and used almost 31,000
gallons of fuel. Operational costs in 2015 including fuel, maintenance and repair were
roughly 23 cents per mile (a 20% improvement over 2014, however fluctuating gas
costs and percentage of the fleet under warranty significantly impacted this number).
This cost includes the high idle time placed on patrol vehicle engines.
In 2015 the general tri-annual fleet replacement plan was in its last phase with
the purchase of five new 2016 Ford Interceptor Utility Vehicles. The marked patrol fleet
now consists entirely of SUV’s. Replaced Dodge Charger cruisers as well as other
utility vehicles in the fleet were auctioned on GovDeals.com for a total of over $27,000
in offset revenue.
Battery issues continue to plague the fleet with yearly battery replacement
becoming standard. The fleet maintenance staff has not found an after-market solution
that would realize any savings during the patrol life of the vehicle. Going forward into
2016, two patrol command cars will be purchased and upfitted along with an undercover
vehicle after vetting and bidding processes and pending budget approval. Additionally,
fuel consumption will be a priority in 2016 as the Department continues to economize on
fuel usage without sacrificing patrol.
SOLON POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Animal Control
Mr. Greg Miller continued in his role as Animal Warden in 2015, providing
assistance to all residents for any domestic or wildlife animal complaints, and
responding to 769 animal related calls. The number of animals trapped decreased in
2015 to 155, a 14% decrease from 2014. Raccoons remained the primary nuisance
animal trapped in 2015 (43%), followed by Skunks (28%). Animal bite reports, all of
which were canine related, decreased again in 2015, down to 2.
The City’s comprehensive deer management plan continued during 2015 which
included a culling aspect. The Animal Control Division continued its annual assistance
to the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and City
employees with population study, site selection and baiting of culling sites as part of that
portion of the program. The USDA successfully completed their annual contract with no
negative reported incidents through 2015.
Drug / Alcohol Testing
The BAC Datamaster instrument used to measure
hundredths of grams of alcohol per two hundred ten
liters of breath.
The Department currently owns and operates a BAC Datamaster breath testing
device certified and operated in accordance with the Ohio Department of Health.
Corrections officers currently operate and maintain the instrument under the direction of
Senior Lead BAC Operator Anthony Konieczka. Both the instrument and the affiliated
calibration simulator were serviced in 2015. Ten corrections officers and one police
officer are currently certified to operate the instrument.
In 2015, the Department saw a slight increase in total tests ran (170); the
average test result increased as well for 2015 at 0.150 BAC with a high test reading at
0.356 BAC.
In 2015, F.T.O. Roy Cunningham continued his duties as the Department’s Drug
Recognition Expert (DRE), certified to testify to intoxicants other than alcohol. In 2015,
he performed 6 DRE evaluations. He is also certified as an instructor in Standardized
Field Sobriety Testing and Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement to keep
our staff up to date and qualified for impaired driving enforcement.
SOLON POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Property Maintenance
The most substantial and time-consuming property maintenance issue in 2015
was the facilitation of the HVAC improvement project discussed above. Facility
Manager Dennis Simecek and Lt. Joe Alestock did an outstanding job keeping the
vendor on point and getting the required work accomplished. Other significant issues
dealt with during the 2015 calendar year follow:



Repair/replacement of failing and outmoded special jail cell plumbing equipment and
service for cell sink and toilet fixtures.
Repair of parking lot drainage sink hole (two additional expected in 2016).
Replacement of asphalt shingle roof at the firearm’s range facility.
After several delays and a re-bid, the roof/masonry replacement project to deal
with water infiltration and damage issues in the facility will be another large scale
management and facilitation challenge in 2016.
Traffic Management
The Solon Police Department continues to be responsive to the needs of the
community regarding traffic safety. In addition to proactive patrol, education programs
and targeted assignments are used to prevent or react to traffic safety issues. In 2015,
during its annual participation in the statewide Click It or Ticket Seatbelt safety
campaign, the targeted education effort at the Solon High School resulted in a
measurable improvement in the number of teen drivers and passengers found to be
wearing seatbelts (98% compliance).
SOLON POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2015
29
Two fatal crashes reported by Solon
in 2015.
Unfortunately Solon experienced two fatal automobile crashes in 2015 even
though that was a 50% decrease from 2014. Both of these crashes involved vehicles
leaving the roadway for unknown reason and crashing into fixed objects; alcohol was
suspected as a causative factor in at least one of these. Unfortunately crash statistics
from the Ohio Department of Public Safety for 2015 1 (see addenda) continue to show
an increase in injury crashes in Solon from 2014; up to 135 from 118 (a 14% increase).
The Department continues to prioritize OVI and seatbelt enforcement specifically to
target the causative factors for fatality and injury in these types of crashes.
The Department responded to 57 (+4%) separate administrative level traffic
complaints and deployed the Trax Pro traffic data collection system on nine different
occasions. A continued priority for 2015 was for the Traffic Management staff to
continue to assist with the citywide traffic signal replacement project; facilitating
preemption testing, making observational reports and serving as a funnel for public
comment.
One new school crossing guard was hired and trained through the AAA’s training
program in preparation for the 2015-2016 school year to fill a vacant position. And, the
Department re-deployed its crossing guard staff to better serve the pedestrian school
traffic in the City.
Evidence & Property
The 2015 evidence and property function was managed by Lt. Bruce Felton as
assisted by Lt. Joe Alestock and the rest of the command staff of the Department. The
annual inventory audit has been completed with no issues discovered. Almost 2,500
items were taken as evidence or property by officers, virtually the same as 2014. Over
1,100 items were released, destroyed or auctioned. The Department continues to
utilize PropertyRoom.com as its primary method of auctioning non-contraband property.
Installation of an evidence depository chute for small and non-liquid/nonhazardous items was completed in 2015 which allowed for smoother chain of custody

and freeing up of bottlenecked evidence locker storage space. Policy and procedure
was updated to encompass the new chute and its function.
Towed & Impounded Vehicles
Towed and Impounded Vehicles is a separate staff function under the Evidence
and Property Division as managed by Sgt. Tom Lesner. The Department towed 639
vehicles in 2015 (just about two per day) a decrease of 14% over the prior year. Fifteen
of those vehicles were salvaged as unclaimed vehicles. No vehicles came into the
possession of the Department that merited forfeiture or were available to be sold at
auction.
Patrol Video Services
The Solon Police Department continues to provide patrol video equipment in both
marked police cruisers and as an option for personal wear by officers. Mobilevision L-3
is the cruiser video vendor and MUVI provides the body worn equipment. Sgt. Donald
Haines was the primary supervisor as assisted by Ptl. James Koretsky and Ms. Carol
Haddon. Over 1,200 back-up DVD’s were created in 2015. Audio pack synching and
connectivity continue to be an issue that has been addressed with additional training
and information to the staff. All time out of service has been logged. Video was
provided to the city prosecutor’s office in 80 (-32%) cases this year. Capital budget
requests were prepared in 2015 and presented for a full replacement of the
Department’s patrol video systems. If funding is approved, the goal for 2016 will be to
assess vendors and products, obtain competitive pricing, purchase and implement new
systems and equipment along with necessary policy changes and upgrades.
Suspect flees from vehicle during pursuit
caught on dash cam video. Views from
primary and back-up cruiser.
Firearms / Range
Again in 2015, all sworn employees qualified under annual Ohio Peace Officer
Training Council guidelines with Glock, Model 22 primary duty side arms; Remington
870 primary duty shotguns; and, Colt AR-15 primary duty tactical rifles. For those
officers carrying back-up and off-duty weapons, qualifications were also done. The
firearms training staff conducted bi-monthly proficiency training during months that
qualifications were not being held. Ptl. Fiktus and Koretsky were certified as Glock
armorers, and Ptl. McElroy was certified as an AR-15 armorer in 2015.
SOLON POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2015

I.T. / Infrastructure Management
The Police Department’s I.T. needs are large and complicated. Virtually every
project identified in this report, especially the large infrastructure related projects, either
impacted, or required the assistance of I.T. professionals. Ms. Carol Haddon is the
Department’s Systems Records Manager as assisted both by the City’s I.T. Department
and the entire Police Department staff.
This function encompasses vendor
relationships and support of thirty-eight separate software applications/packages which
form the backbone of Department operations and run dispatch, 9-1-1, records
management, jail operations, email, mobile computing and connectivity, integration with
multiple court systems via video, property and evidence management, police officer
video systems, and electronic scheduling to name just the principal functions.
Significant issues dealt with in 2015 follow:


Preparation, purchasing and project management of dispatch upgrades
detailed above.
Installation of a pad based electronic payment system in the SPD lobby.
Secured iPad kiosk installed in SPD Lobby
to allow electronic payment processing
24/7.






Purchase, installation and training on pad based device for translation and
communication with the hearing impaired.
Replacement of failing, outdated evidence management hand held device.
Offsite redundant server and storage system set up and completion.
Repair of damage identified after a lightning induced surge/strike of the
radio tower on August 10, 2015 (~$8,000 covered by insurance).
Upgrade of video access to the Solon Schools, now including Orchard
Middle School.
Replacement of 3 network servers, 6 dispatch workstations, 5 MDT’s,
various desktop and printer equipment; Overhaul of the ALPR systems;
Provide server support and internet access during HVAC improvement
project; Upgrade jail booking camera equipment; Obtained 3 VOIP
recording channel licenses.
The Department’s many systems operate 24 hours per day, seven days per
week, and in 2015 suffered downtime of 535 hours on only a portion of total systems,
substantially the same as 2014 and is equivalent to 96% uptime on all Police systems
combined. Again in 2015, the majority of downtime was related to failing MDT’s.
During 2015 five additional MDT’s were replaced to minimize that issue going forward.
SOLON POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Training
Training is always a primary goal and activity for the Solon Police. In 2015,
employees were able to attend over 3,802 hours of training at schools hosted outside
the Department, plus an additional 1,317 hours of in-service training and instruction with
our many on-staff instructors. This represents a 32% increase in training attendance
over 2014.
Mandatory Force on Force Training 2015
During 2015, as a direct result of a retirement, a promotion and a re-shuffling of
some job assignments, there was a shortage in the Field Training Officer staff. After a
selection process, Ptl. Steven Davis and Ptl. Courtenay Perkins were assigned as
FTO's. It was a busy time for FTO’s in 2015 as two new hires (Horvath and Pettinato)
participated in our comprehensive Field Training and Evaluation Program to completion
and solo patrol.
Monthly Roll Call training continued in 2015 where sworn officers were provided
a short roll call training block of instruction and then subsequently tested at a later date
on selected topics. Topics covered in 2015 were: Combat Action Tourniquet, Firearms
Safety Refresher, Peddler/Solicitor Ordinances, Use of Force review, Warm
Zone/Casualty Collection Point, Specialty Impact Munitions, Adult Sexual Assault – A
Trauma Informed Approach, Alarm Procedures, Drug Recognition Expert protocols,
Missing Persons SOP, and Deer Culling related information.
In 2015, the Department expanded its active shooter training by including best
practices in care of the wounded. Scenarios were held at Arthur Road School and were
designed to implement warm zone and casualty collection point strategies to triage and
evacuate wounded during an event. Members of the Solon Fire Department were on
hand to participate.
There were six mandatory training sessions for sworn personnel in 2015
including: Combined Firearms; Standardized Field Sobriety Testing; Active Shooter
Incident Scenario (as above); Subject Control; and Emergency Vehicle Operations.
SOLON POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2015
33
State required Continuing Professional Training course hours for 2015 remained
at the same level as 2014, four hours for all sworn officers. The entire sworn staff was
trained in four hours of domestic violence, use of force, and liability. Additionally, this
training was again facilitated in such a way as to be eligible for reimbursement from the
State for training expenses incurred. Training requirements for 2016 are expected to
increase to eleven hours and changes to scheduling and auditing will be required
moving forward.
Detective Bureau / CVSA
The Detective Bureau is responsible for the investigation of all reported/referred
criminal activity in the City of Solon, including referrals from Federal, State and local law
enforcement which fall within the jurisdiction of the Solon Police Department. The
Bureau was headed in 2014 by Det. Sgt. David Perchinske with Detectives Stanley,
Morar, Terwilliger and Harvey on staff and on call. Det. Sgt. Perchinske retired in 2015
and his replacement was appointed to the position in May; Det. Sgt. Jamey Hofmann.
In 2015, the Bureau maintained a case closure by arrest rate of 42%. In addition, the
staff of the DB reviewed all other reported incidents in light of solvability factors to
determine what, if any, further investigative steps could be taken.
With the transition in the management of the Detective Bureau in 2015, several
changes were made to increase efficiency and service. They included: implementation
of a new Investigative Functions SOP, institution of a formalized crime scene entry log,
establishment of a monthly active warrant service day to seek out and serve valid
Department arrest warrants, inclusion of scene mapping/sketching at all death
investigation scenes, assignment of uniform officers to the Bureau on short term basis,
and, certification of all Bureau personnel in either formal Homicide/Death Scene
investigation or supervision. Significant events in the Detective Bureau in 2015
included:

Assignment of Det. Harvey to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Internet
Crimes Against Children Task Force.

Investigation of a purse theft from a local fitness center resulted in the
identification and arrest of multiple suspects for that crime and many analogous crimes
throughout the county.

Successful arrest and prosecution of five individuals involved in a drug
related aggravated robbery.

Investigation, arrest and prosecution of three individuals for a strong arm
robbery at a local gas station / mini-mart. A recovered gun in the case was found to
have been stolen from a business elsewhere in the county and the result was federal
prosecution of all involved.
SOLON POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2015
34

Investigation of a domestic related homicide in concert with the Ohio BCI;
the female suspect is currently awaiting psychiatric clearance prior to trial.
The Juvenile Division continues to operate out of the DB, including the Juvenile
Diversion program. Det. Morar operated as the Juvenile Officer with the assistance of
Secretary Laura Watterson in running the Diversion program along with volunteer
magistrates James Kendis and Karen Axner. Over $1,100 was collected as court costs
through the Diversion program, offsetting some of the continual loss of County funding
for the program.
Also, members of the Detective Bureau serve as forensic video technicians and
Computer Voice Stress Analyzer operators. There are now three CVSA examiners
available for investigative and pre-hire testing. During 2015, twenty-four total tests
(+85%) were conducted; seventeen pre-employment and seven in criminal
investigations. CVSA operators Detectives Stanley and Terwilliger were joined by Det.
Sgt. Hofmann as the third certified operator in 2015.
Detective Bureau goals for 2016 include upgrading uniform officer assignment to
the Bureau, forty hours of training per detective, and completion of two table top type
functional exercises related to the response and control of large, high-visibility crime
scenes.
Corrections / Jail
The City of Solon Jail Facility continues to operate, pursuant to Ohio Department
of Rehabilitation and Correction statutory guidelines, as a Full Service, Adult Facility. It
remains the only municipal jail certified by the Bureau of Adult Detention. The facility is
a 26 bed maximum capacity jail; twelve of the beds are in a dormitory style setting. The
jail can hold both pre-sentenced and sentenced prisoners for up to 1 ½ years in the
case of sentenced low level felonies. Again 1,900 prisoners were booked into the Solon
Jail Facility in 2015 (0% decrease). And, almost 11,000 meals were served to inmates
(a 4% decrease from 2014).
Housing of prisoners for other entities continued to be a source of offset revenue
for operations. Over $205,000 was generated in 2015 as offset revenue (5% increase).
Rather than continuing to renew per diem housing contracts with the large number of
agencies looking for jail space (especially due to the closing of the large Bedford
Heights jail facility), the Department chose instead to codify its contract terms into a
mutual aid ordinance and allow housing on a per diem rate without having to have
entered into a contractual relationship. On the other end of the spectrum, the City
entered into a new long term annualized housing contract with the City of Shaker
Heights which will increase revenue by over a quarter million dollars per year. In 2015,
the net operational costs for the jail facility were 3% lower than 2014 despite annual
required contractual pay increases for personnel.
Due to the new service contract entered into with the City of Shaker Heights and
expected changes in volume and revenue, jail staffing was altered through legislation to
allow for a jail supervisor position and changing of one part-time position to full-time.
Nonetheless, staffing remained an issue in 2015 mostly due to extensive and long term
FMLA health issues affecting some of our staff. We were successfully able to negotiate
short term appointments of some of our part-time staff to full-time with the union and the
SOLON POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2015
35
Civil Service Commission in order to cover much of that shortage. However moving into
2016, it is a priority to fill current vacancies, including the planned retirement of Nanci
Meier and the part-time vacancies that remain from 2015. Other goals for 2016 include
continuing to update the Jail SOP’s to come into full compliance with changes in the
State standards.
Auxiliary Police
Auxiliary Janet Glivar (left)
Auxiliary Capt. Mike Freiberg
(below)
The Auxiliary Police Unit was established to be the primary support detail when
uniform presence is called for in the City. Auxiliary Officers work as adjuncts to regular
patrol units however cannot be used in their place; they are unarmed with no
misdemeanor arrest powers. The unit falls under the chain of command of the Line
Operations Division of the Department and has its own supervisory structure headed by
a Captain, supported by two Sergeants.
The Unit continued with monthly
meetings/training sessions as now led by the first line supervisor staff. The Auxiliary
Unit worked over 3,350 hours in service to the City, over 375 hours for private security
details, and almost 60 hours of volunteer duty, in 2015.
In 2015, Auxiliary Officers Martin Kaplan and Russell Potoma were hired and
trained after the retirements of long-time Auxiliaries Dick Roberts and Carla Carter.
In 2015, the unit continued covering hours at both the Solon Community Center
and Solon branch of the Cuyahoga County Public Library for security. The unit
remained invaluable, as always, during the Memorial Day Parade, Home Days, July 4th
and Halloween. Additionally, the unit worked the annual Easter Egg Hunt, ALS Y5K
Race, Holiday Lighting Ceremony, Historical Society Car Show, as well as Park and
City Hall security details, and School Crossing Guard coverage.
Honor Guard
The Department Honor Guard Unit was fully outfitted in 2015 (see cover photo).
Officers Courtenay Perkins, Roy Cunningham, Nicholas Kline, Kyle Leonard, Ben
Maragliano, Alex Leimeister, and Michael Gantt volunteered for duty. The unit was able
to conduct formal training meetings on two occasions to prep for duty. The Honor Guard
attended seven formal events in 2015: The Greater Cleveland Peace Officer Memorial
Parade, the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy Memorial Ceremony, Memorial
SOLON POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2015
36
Honors for Ptl. Jeff Olson (line of duty death), the Solon Memorial Day Parade, and
funeral honors for Ptl. John Haydu (ret.) as well as for two employee’s immediate family
members. Plans for 2016 include continued formalized training and additional event
attendance.
CRITICAL OPERATIONS
After a long vehicle pursuit by the City of Cleveland and fatal use of force in 2012
which ended up with 137 shots fired at the suspects, the criminal trial of the primary
involved officer Michael Brelo came to a conclusion. Due to the sensitive nature of the
issue, law enforcement throughout the County was on high alert and began contingency
planning for protests, traffic blockades, media driven activity and mass arrest situations.
While none of the enforcement activity ended up spreading out to Solon, the opportunity
to review our procedures and available equipment and mutual aid plans proved useful.
As a result of the above incident and also in preparation for the Republican
National Convention in 2016, many officers in the Department had the opportunity to
participate in field force, crowd control, mass arrest, crisis intervention and other
trainings offered through the City of Cleveland.
The temporary move of the dispatch center allowed us to exercise our
technology redundancy and recovery plans in a real life situation for the first time.
The City of Twinsburg had an active shooter / officer involved shooting incident
right over our border on September 1, 2015. Several of our on-duty staff responded in
mutual aid, including Chief Viland. Twinsburg’s Chief was out of the area and
unavailable. Our responding officers, led by FTO Soltis, were able to: secure both an
internal and external crime scene perimeter; assign responding officers from numerous
departments to useful details; provide advice to their incident command learned from
our officer involved shooting in 2013; and provide patrol coverage for Twinsburg City
since their manpower was unavailable for several hours immediately following the
incident.
TOWARD THE FUTURE
(2016 GOALS)
The Department looks forward to a challenging 2016 with numerous goals, changes,
and implementations. Below is a forecast of some of the more significant:
Community Relations
 The Department plans on continuing to host two additional Citizen’s Police Academy
classes in 2016.
 The National Night Out crime prevention extravaganza will be hosted again in
August by the Department in conjunction with the CIAB and with plans for more
presentations and a larger turnout.
Equipment / Property
 The five year vehicle fleet plan calls for replacement of two marked police cruisers /
command vehicles and one under cover surveillance vehicle. Selection of vehicle
make and type along with budgeting, ordering and up-fitting will be completed in

2016. The command vehicles will be upgraded to carry additional equipment and be
able to tow the newly acquired mobile command post.
A delayed massive roof/masonry improvement project, spearheaded by the City
Engineering Department will begin mid-2016 and will require extensive coordination,
planning and facilitation in order to minimize detrimental effects on police services.
This project will encompass removal of the skylight from the current dispatch center
to upgrade its use as a shelter from severe weather.
The Department’s five year old dash-cam video system is out of warranty and not
being supported by the manufacturer moving forward. The Department will seek
capital funding, vet vendors, purchase and install a new patrol video system
including body-cam options as well as updating all applicable policies, procedures
and operations.
The Department will purchase new hand held radar speed monitoring devices and
place them into service with both the patrol and auxiliary divisions, providing training
and ensuring compliance with local court rules.
The Department will replace the portable radio batteries on all handheld MARCS
radios.
The Department will utilize seized and forfeited funding to design, bid and purchase
a mobile command post trailer and place it into service fully equipped during 2016,
especially for planned events such as the July 4th celebration and Home Days.
Personnel
 All administrative staff functions will be re-assessed and re-assigned to
administrative staff members in 2016. This will allow enhanced ability to support and
back-up individual functions, provide for professional growth, and allow for different
interpretations and applications of staff members to improve services provided in
each staff function.
 For the first time, the State of Ohio through its Collaborative Community-Police
Advisory Board is requiring all Ohio police departments to comply with policy
recommendations, training and auditing of Use of Force and Hiring Practice policies
that will require policy drafting, training sessions and administrative reporting to the
State in 2016.
 The Department will have completely converted to an electronic personnel file
system, including the scanning of current files to digital format, change of operations
to adopt to digital record management, and hopefully to modify or ensure that the
Department record retention schedule takes these changes into account.
 Now that the Department has been utilizing electronic/cloud based scheduling for
several years, we will strive to encompass our part-time job scheduling using the
same tools and software.
 State mandated Continuing Professional Training (CPT) hours have increased for
2016 to more than double previous requirements. The Department plans to host
CPT training and ensure all officers are compliant with new state standards through
both classroom and web based training.
Miscellaneous
 The Department will work with a local business and travel to radiological alarm
response (ART) training sessions in Oakridge, Tennessee at the Y-12 National
Security Complex to train in active incidents and come back to reassess and reimplement radiological threat plans. This is necessary especially for those
businesses in the City with significant amounts of nuclear materials on site.
SOLON POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2015

 Working with the Solon School Board and the Solon Fire Department, the
Department will design and implement a Homeland Security (HSEEP) table top
exercise with one of the Solon schools involving an active shooter incident and the
expected and related support activity that would be involved.
 The Department plans to again expand its annual active shooter, live fire training to
a facility that is not part of the Solon City School District.
 At the present time the effects of the 2016 Republican National Convention on the
Department and its personnel remain unknown. The Department will have to plan
and prepare for delegate housing at its major hotels, plan for security at any
delegate events hosted in the City, and possibly provide manpower to the City of
Cleveland for security assistance at the convention event itself.
Statistical Addenda follow on pages 40 through 48.
