The City Council appoints the City Manager to be the chief executive officer and administrative head of the City government. Under the City Manager, the City is organized into five departments: Administrative Services, City Manager’s Office, City Services, Fire and Police. Marysville is located in the Central Valley of California, 40 miles north of Sacramento. The City is known for its distinctive community character, influenced by its many city parks, restored Victorian houses, Ellis Lake and the confluence of the Yuba and Feather Rivers. Marysville is also home to many historical landmarks, including the Marysville Hotel, State Theater, and Ellis Lake. In addition to its rich history, Marysville is known for its central location and recreation. Strategically placed at the convergence of State Highways 20 and 70, Marysville is home to the Yuba Sutter Gold Sox baseball team, numerous marquee festivals and parades, and is only a quick trip away from hunting, skiing, hiking; and the Sacramento and San Francisco metropolitan areas. From its roots as one of California’s historic Gold Rush cities, to its rebirth as a vibrant center of distinctive shopping, dining and entertainment, Marysville is what Main Street was meant to be. Tree-lined Historic D Street with its cafes, galleries, boutiques and specialty stores remains a delight to citizens and visitors alike. The Marysville Police Department is one of the oldest and most historic Police Departments in the State of California. In 2013, the Department was supported by an annual operating budget of more than $3 million and proudly served the community through the service of sworn, professional, and volunteer employees. The department is deeply committed to the philosophy of community oriented policing and subscribes to a progressive outlook, utilizing contemporary law enforcement theories and methods. The Marysville Police Department is a fun, fast-paced environment that provides all of its employee’s opportunity for professional career growth and development. Under the leadership of Chief David L. Baker, the Department is organized across two divisions – Operations and Support Services. 5 A MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF A s Police Chief of the Marysville Police Department, it is my honor to present our Annual Report. This report documents some of our many activities, changes, challenges, and accomplishments of 2013. This past year was another challenging, yet exciting, one for the men and women of the Marysville Police Department. Though the Nation, State, and City are slowly moving out of the terrible recession that has plagued us these past several years, the Marysville Police Department has continued to operate under a severely restricted budget. It gives me great pride to say, however, that the highly committed and skilled individuals working for the citizens of this historic city have once again stepped up to the challenges and fully commitment themselves to the mission of this department to do our part to improve the quality of life for the citizens of Marysville. The Marysville Police Department went through significant changes at the command level in 2013. With these changes, came exciting transformations in the structure, values, and vision of the department. The most noteworthy of those changes, is the rededication the department has shown within the community through the birth of our Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving (COPPS) Program. The Marysville Police Department COPPS Program is based on a geographical policing concept in which each and every officer is assigned to a specific neighborhood throughout the City. Through this model, it is our hope and belief that the citizens of Marysville, and the officers who serve them, can grow closer together and work in a collaborative approach at tackling both criminal and quality of life issues in the community we all love. I want to sincerely thank every member of the Marysville Police Department. Our “FAMILY”, is comprised of sworn officers, professional staff, reserves, volunteers, and cadets. As the Chief of Police, I can sincerely say that every member of the Marysville Police Department showed dedication to work together in conquering challenges, and turning them into opportunities. These wonderful men and women came together on daily basis and shared a common goal to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for all those who live, work, and play in the City of Marysville. It is the goal of the Marysville Police Department to be a jewel within our region and a vanguard for what a law enforcement agency of similar size can accomplish. Lastly, I wish to thank the great citizens of Marysville. The support of our community during this past year has made a great impact on helping us achieve success. With the enduring support of our community we will continue to overcome challenges together and work to build a brighter future. It is my vow that the Marysville Police Department will continue to strive to earn your trust and support. We will continue to work hard to improve the quality of life, in the most ethical and professional manner. Thank you for taking the time to review our Annual Report. Sincerely, David L. Baker Chief of Police 7 ORGANIZATIONAL CHART MISSION STATEMENT Dispatch / Records Dispatch / Records Supervisor Bureau Investigations Bureau Deputy Chief of Police Property & Evidence Bureau Training Program Chief of Police Information Technology Photo Enforcement Program Reserve Lieutenant K9 Program As members of the Marysville Police Department, we recognize that our sole purpose is to provide first- Traffic Bureau rate law enforcement services to the community. We each understand that the residents of our community Police Volunteer(s) & Cadets and those visiting the City of Marysville have placed Police Lieutenant Operations Division us all in a position of trust and responsibility. We pledge that this trust will not be misplaced. Reserve Program COPPS Program We commit ourselves to protect life, combat crime and to do all we can to elevate the quality of life for all. Administrative Assistant Field Training Program Crime Suppression Unit Patrol Operations SWAT 8 9 OPERATIONS DIVISION T he Operations Division is the largest division within the Marysville Police Department, both in terms of number of personnel and amount of fiscal resources allocated. It is also the most recognizable to the public and contains the bureaus and units most commonly associated with law enforcement. The mission of the Operations Division is to ensure the safety and security of those who live, work, and visit the City of Marysville. The many bureaus and units of the Operations Division are as follows: Patrol Operations In 2013 the Marysville Police Department Patrol Operations consisted of 10 uniformed patrol officers and 4 uniformed patrol sergeants. These 14 men and women were responsible for keeping the peace within the 3.5 square miles of Marysville, and providing competent, professional service to the more than 12,000 residents and countless visitors to the City. In 2013, the Marysville Police Department responded to 14,877 calls for service from the public, were involved in 7,563 self-initiated calls for service, took 3,239 incident reports and made 1,260 total arrests. Responding to Officer Lee investigates a collision emergency calls for service, patrolling the City streets, and taking reports of the criminal and non-criminal nature, is only a small sample of what Patrol Operations is responsible for, however. Patrol Officers and Sergeants are responsible for conducting criminal investigations, attending community and neighborhood watch meetings, assisting allied agencies within the region, educating citizens about crime prevention, working with the youth of the community, being victim advocates, and many more important functions. Crime Suppression Unit Though components of it existed before, the Marysville Police Department Crime Suppression Unit (CSU), as a separate entity, originated in 2013. The purpose of the CSU, which is comprised of reserve police officers and as an ancillary assignment for two full time officers, is to provide supplemental support for Patrol and a focused approach at the containment and eradication of criminal activity. The two primary focuses of the CSU are gang suppression and narcotics suppression. Officers assigned to work in gang suppression work very closely with the schools in the area, routinely attend training to keep up with current developments and trends, and participate twice-monthly with the Yuba-Sutter Anti-Gang Enforcement (YSAGE) Team. YSAGE is comprised of members from several law enforcement agencies in the Yuba-Sutter region and work cooperatively together to share information. YSAGE rotates its deployment amongst all jurisdictions representing the team. In 24 deployments in 2013, YSAGE conducted 224 searches, validated 139 people as gang members and made 50 total arrests. Officers assigned to work in narcotics suppression must stay consistently knowledgeable about the ever-changing “drug world.” The very intricate, Officer Hindo arrests two for drug sales and constantly changing nature of narcotics can make this a challenging specialty within law enforcement. In addition to frequent training, narcotics officers must work closely with informants and concerned citizens alike to 11 best tackle a very real and dangerous problem in our community. Officers working narcotics suppression as an ancillary duty within the Marysville Police Department, work diligently to uncover the “players” within an often sophisticated system from manufacturers, to dealers, to users, and others in between. The Marysville Police Department put five employees through the Field Training Program in 2013. Three of those five trainees proved themselves and earned the distinguished honor to wear the department badge and serve the citizens of Marysville. Traffic Bureau Police Volunteers The Traffic Bureau was not staffed by any full time officers in 2013. The traffic safety and parking needs of the citizens of Marysville, as well as the 170,000+ vehicles traversing the state highways on any given day, were fulfilled by one Reserve Officer and one part time Parking Enforcement Officer. Under the supervision of a full time Police Sergeant, these officers worked diligently to maintain the safety of the roadways within our City. It has been said that the Marysville Police Department, and perhaps the City of Marysville as a whole, would be unable to successfully function without the tireless effort of its many volunteers. Though many may be unaware of these mostly unseen “everyday heroes” those of us at the Marysville Police Department are not. Regrettably, a high level of traffic led to high numbers of vehicle collisions. The Marysville Police Department conducted 447 traffic collision investigations in 2013. Fortunately, the Marysville Police Department received a significant helping hand in its traffic safety efforts. The department was awarded grants for traffic safety, DUI enforcement and education, and distracted driver enforcement and education. All told, in 2013, the Marysville Police Department’s traffic safety efforts were supplemented by more than $164,000 in State grant money. These additional funds allowed the department to deploy a significant number of additional resources. The Parking Enforcement program CSO Mitchell investigates a collision ensured that parking was available for customers to park and visit downtown businesses. The heavy traffic, narrow streets and lack of parking spaces made this a necessity to have parking spaces available. The goal of the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program was to improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods. Junk cars and poorly maintained public and private spaces may attract crime and blight. This program was designed to make vehicle and property owners aware of the blight that is caused by vehicles left in disrepair and abandoned. Most citizens when contacted through this program have chosen to correct the issue and had no further police contact. Field Training Program The Field Training Program is the first stop for both entry level officers, and those joining the Marysville Police Department team as lateral officers from other law enforcement agencies. The Field Training Program is a rigorous 16 week program (usually less for lateral officers), broken down into four separate phases. Each phase of the program incrementally provides more latitude and decision-making authority to trainees in order to fully gauge their ability to perform the duties of the career. New officers looking to become either full time officers or Level I reserve officers must participate in oral, audial and tactile training exercises and Officer Paul receives training pass a series of tests meant to test their knowledge and abilities in driving, firearms, life-saving techniques, and report writing, among many other things. The ultimate goal of the Field Training Program is to determine if each individual trainee possess the requisite integrity, desire, skills, ability, and knowledge to perform such an important service to the community. 12 The volunteers of the Marysville Police Department come in all different shapes, sizes, ages, and colors, but there is one thing they absolutely share in common. Each and every volunteer that we are lucky enough to work with, has a love for the City of Marysville. In 2013, these selfless individuals donated 3,850 hours of service to the Marysville Police Department. In addition to aiding the citizens of our fine city with traffic control, Volunteer Osborne instruction and education, security during community events, and search functions for lost or runaway individuals, the eight dedicated Police Volunteers do an enormous amount within the department as well. Police Cadets The Marysville Police Department Cadet Program uses a training-centered approach to introduce young men and women to the law enforcement profession. The program is designed to give youth aged 16-22 instruction in law enforcement procedures and expose them to the field. Upon being accepted as a Police Cadet, individuals must work their way through a demanding course of instruction centered on patrol functions, but also focusing on dispatching concepts, and the criminal justice system as a whole. Upon completion of their initial course of Cadets Deluz, Beecham, Lomeli, and Sandler instruction, cadets must attend ongoing training and volunteer no less than 16 hours per month. The Police Cadets are greatly involved in many high-profile community events including the Bok Kai Parade, Peach Festival, and the Christmas Parade. Canine (K9) Unit The value of K9 teams in law enforcement has long been recognized as a significant and effective tool. K9 teams are experts in locating suspects and missing persons, building and open field searches, assisting in crowd control, and deescalating tense situations among other things. K9’s superior sense of smell, hearing, and controlled aggressiveness is a valuable supplement to law enforcement efforts. K9 Officer Alaska In addition to their use for law enforcement activities, K9s are a great compliment to community service efforts. The K9 is a great tool for making positive connections with the youth of Marysville. Marysville Police Department K9 teams have conducted many special presentations to school children and other community groups throughout the years, and 2013 was no exception. 13 SUPPORT DIVISION The Marysville Police Department K9 Unit began the year with two K9 teams but, sadly, finished with only one. In 2013, the Marysville Police Department lost its senior K9 “Tommy” after he succumbed to an illness. K9 Tommy’s end of Watch was April 5, 2013. Tommy will be severely missed by all of us at the Police Department. SWAT Team In 2012 the Marysville Police Department joined with the Yuba County Sheriff’s Department to form a multi-jurisdictional Specialized Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team. The SWAT Team is a specialized unit whose mission is to safely resolve critical incidents. The SWAT Team is specifically trained and equipped to resolve critical incidents that are so hazardous, complex, or unusual that they may exceed the capabilities of first responders or investigative units. These incidents include hostage taking, barricaded suspects. Late K9 Officer Tommy The SWAT Team is made up of a tactical element and a crisis negotiations element. The Marysville Police Department had two members on the SWAT team in 2013. These officers serve on the team as a collateral duty that is performed in addition to their regular assignments. Team members are required to be on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. SWAT member Sgt. Garringer 14 15 T hough not as outwardly visible as the Operations Division, in many respects, the Marysville Police Department Investigations Bureau Support Services Division is considered the backbone of the department. The Support Services Division provides a wide variety of programs and functions in support of the mission of the Marysville Police Department. The many bureaus and programs of the Support Services Division are as follows: If you watch many television shows about law enforcement, there is a good chance you’ve seen several based on this function of the job. The primary function of the Investigations Bureau is to investigate serious felony crimes, crimes needing more detailed investigations, and those crimes requiring knowledge in a specialized field. Dispatch & Records Bureau Examples of crimes investigated by the Investigations Bureau include homicide, sexual assaults, crimes against children, major larcenies, and high-tech crimes. In 2013 the Marysville Police Department Investigations Bureau was staffed by a full time Police Corporal and 5 part time retired Detectives. The Public Safety Dispatch Center is the hub of the Marysville Police Department. It receives all Emergency 911 calls, as well as all other criminal complaints, officer inquiries, non-emergency and administrative calls for service. Our one reserve, five full time Public Safety Dispatchers, and Dispatch/Records Supervisor ensure appropriate resources are always dispatched in a timely, considerate and professional manner. The Public Safety Dispatch Center is the first point of contact for the vast majority of citizens utilizing the services of the Marysville Police Department. In 2013 our Public Safety Dispatchers took 10,185 911 Emergency calls for service; that is nearly 28 911 Emergency calls per day. The Marysville Police Department Public Safety Dispatch Center processes requests for law enforcement, fire, and medical services within the City of Marysville, and some unincorporated areas outside of the City. In 2013 the Marysville Police Department handled 17,465 calls for service from the public and an additional 7,563 officer-initiated calls for service. In total, the Public Safety Dispatch Center processed a total of 25,028 service incidents in 2013. The Public Safety Dispatch Center uses a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system which helps streamline the call taking, recording, and dispatching functions. This allows our department to deliver life-saving services to the community as quickly as possible. In addition to being able to communicate with Marysville law enforcement, fire and medical; the Marysville Police Department radio system has the capability of communicating with first responder agencies throughout the Yuba-Sutter region. The Marysville Police Department Records Unit is responsible for all aspects of document control within the department. The Records Unit is responsible for data entry of incident reports, arrests, warrants, citations, traffic collisions, towed vehicles, field contact reports, and more. This includes the maintenance, storage, dissemination and security of all documents. The Records Unit must adhere to strict federal, state, and local laws/ordinances to maintain the integrity of the Marysville Police Department’s records. Records duties are collaterally assigned to Public Safety Dispatchers. 16 The extremely capable members of the Investigations Bureau held more than 125 years of experience between them, with specialty skills in homicide investigations, computer forensics, sex related offenses, and professional standards investigations, to name a few. Property & Evidence Bureau The Property & Evidence Bureau works closely with the Investigations Bureau. In 2013 this bureau was staffed by one full time employee, and supervised by the Support Services Lieutenant. This single employee had to wear many hats this last year. Primary among these were Evidence Technician, Crime Scene Technician and Civilian Investigator. Responsibilities of the Evidence Technician position included the acceptance, processing, documentation and storage of all of the property and evidence held by the Marysville Police Department. Based upon ongoing investigations, FeDispatcher Melchor deral and State statute, and other factors; the property eventually makes its way to the DA’s office for criminal court hearings, released back to an owner, for lawful destruction, or any number of other potential locations. Responsibilities of the Crime Scene Technician position included working hand in hand with patrol officers and detectives processing crime scenes and collecting evidence. The Crime Scene Technician was responsible for preserving items of evidence collected from crime scenes. The Technician then worked with the California Department of Justice forensic laboratories to help identify suspects. The Civilian Investigator’s responsibility was to register drug, gang, arson, and sex offenders. This also included the investigation of sex offender compliance mandates. These investigations led to many arrests. Reserve Program The Marysville Police Department Reserve Program is vital to the success of the agency. The Reserve Program is comprised of designated Level I and Level II Reserve Officers, based on the level of training undergone by each individual officer. In 2013 the Marysville Police Department was staffed by 13 Level I Reserve Officers and three Level II Reserve Officers. behind the limit line on the red light.

Photo Red Light Enforcement The Marysville Police Department strives to not only meet, but exceed, POST accreditation standards.

Traffic accidents caused by red light running are among the most serious, often resulting in severe injuries and fatalities. A PRLE system consists of a high-speed camera mounted in a bullet-resistant housing at signalized intersections. The camera is aimed at an approach to the intersection and can be used for multiple lanes. The system is connected to the traffic signal controller and is able to monitor the changing of the traffic signal light. Sensors are placed in the pavement behind the limit line and are activated after a preset time after the signal turns red for the monitored approach. When a vehicle enters the intersection during the red cycle after the preset time has elapsed, the sensor triggers the camera, which then takes four overall photographs with 12 seconds of digital video. The first photograph shows the vehicle Information Technology (IT) IT is responsible for all computer, hardware, software, and technological issues. This includes the daily maintenance and long term planning to keep our system up to date and to ensure it remains safe and secure. The Marysville computer system is a very complex set of computers and data base. Each patrol car has an on board computer so that officers are able to transmit and receive data from the data base. The maintenance of such a vital part of the daily workings of the department is crucial. Many hours were donated to the planning, maintenance, and improvement to this complex computer system in 2013. 17 Much of this work was made possible by a partnership with Marysville Police Department and Hewlett Packard, facilitated by a Reserve Officer mutually employed by the police department and the information technology corporation. Through this contact, the Marysville Police Department acquired several thousands of dollars of donated equipment. These donations of time and equipment enabled us to keep our computers up to date in the ever changing world of technology. These donations included: • An HP ProLiant Server valued at approximately $26,000. The new server replaced a Storage Server that was extremely old and out of warranty. The new server not only replaced a critical server for the Police Department, but increased the ability for the Police Department to triple the storage capacity for photographs, videos and other digital information. • A number of HP Enterprise Services organization employees donated approximately 1,000 hours of consulting services at no charge to the department. These employees provided much needed knowledge and support in the rebuilding of the departments computer infrastructure including a new secure network including the very latest technological advances. • Following HP’s leadership, several other technology companies have donated hundreds of consulting hours to further ensure that the department has the most advanced and secure infrastructure possible. • HP continues to support the Law Enforcement community by supporting the department with consulting advice, technology guidance, and software. • In 2013 the City of Marysville main server failed. Along with tens of thousands of individual files that were lost, most of the city’s electronic drawings were in danger of being lost. HP donated Consulting Services by several senior engineers to not only recover the tens of thousands of files and electronic drawings, but HP created a complete three year IT Strategy allowing the City to take advantage of new Cloud based IT services saving the City of Marysville General Fund critical dollars. ACCOMPLISHMENTS T he Marysville Police Department went through significant changes at the command level in 2013. With these changes, came exciting transformations in the structure, values, and vision of the department. In many ways, 2013 signified a rebirth of sorts for the department, with a renewed dedication for interaction and partnership with the citizens of Marysville, and a stronger focus on the Department’s role in the overall health and wellness of the community. The members of the Marysville Police Department have worked diligently with Chief David L. Baker to transform our department into one that welcomes a progressive approach and strives to understand, and appropriately incorporate, contemporary policing theories and methods. It is the goal of the Marysville Police Department to be a jewel of its region and a vanguard for what a law enforcement agency can offer. 2013 was an extremely busy and exciting year for the Department, and 2014 is sure to be much the same. Following is a list of some of the more significant accomplishments of 2013: Management/Administrative • Chief of Police Wallace Fullerton retired after over 30 years of distinguished service with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Marysville Police Department. • David L.

In those 24 deployments, 224 searches were conducted, 139 people were validated as gang members, and 50 total arrests were made. • Yuba County Regional SWAT Team completed 10 total missions for call outs and search warrant service. • Provided supplemental law enforcement services for Butte County Fair. • In November a suspect was arrested and charged for an armed robbery that had taken place at the Marysville Jack in the Box in March, 2013. The Investigations Bureau is credited for the investigation of this case. 20 • Successfully applied for and received the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) AVOID the Nine Grant. The Marysville Police Department hosts this grant for other local participating agencies in Yuba, Sutter, and Colusa Counties and serves as the management agency. The AVOID Anti-DUI Program was launched in California during the winter of 1973 to bring law enforcement agencies together in countywide clusters to crack down on drunk driving and reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by alcohol related crashes. Funding allows counties to add overtime hours, reassign officers and conduct public awareness campaigns during the increased enforcement periods. The overall goal is to let drivers know about the countywide increased enforcement periods and warn drivers that the only way to “AVOID” the county’s law enforcement officers is to drive sober.
