2014 Annual Report
As Chief of Police, it is my honor and privilege to present the Lompoc Police
Department 2014 Annual Report. This year saw the retirement of Chief Larry
Ralston, who has served the citizens of Lompoc with distinction for several years.
We wish him all the luck and happiness in his retirement.
In September 2014, I became the eleventh Chief to lead the Lompoc Police Department. As the police department enters this period of transition, it is important
to acknowledge the relationship this department has with the citizens we serve.
The people of Lompoc have a deep sense of pride and take full responsibility for
the livability and safety of their town. Our citizens both value and participate in
preserving the level of public safety we enjoy. It is a privilege to serve in a city
where the community appreciates the work of its public servants.
The Lompoc Police Department is fully committed to our responsibility of identifying, confronting, arresting, or disrupting the offenders causing the greatest harm
to the people we serve. We are also committed to lowering traffic accidents and
drunk driving, which can cause injury as well as economic damage to our community.
We seek to align our efforts with the many service providers, faith based
and non-profits to assist those individuals who suffer from homelessness, mental illness or are in crisis. These individuals are some of the
most vulnerable and deserve our very best effort and care.
Our department consistently invests in training and policy development helping assure we adhere to the bounds of the Constitution,
as well as statutory changes and interpretive case decisions. At
the individual level, members of the organization also study on
their own in order to remain current in their understanding of how
they can appropriately apply their authority.
Our department has had a culture of continually evolving our
competencies and practices as well as applying available technology all related to public safety effectiveness. In this regard,
we look forward to our continued organizational growth and development.
Speaking for myself personally, it has been a professional honor
to serve with this department and an extraordinary honor to be
placed in this position. I welcome direct interaction and look forward to establishing a strong relationship with the community.
Please contact me at 805-875-8103 or by email at,
[email protected] if you would like to provide comment or if I
may be of assistance to you. You may also follow me on Twitter

OPERATIONS DIVISION
OPERATIONS DIVISION
The Operations Division is comprised of uniformed officers who interact with the community and deliver front-line police services. The Operations Division consists of the Patrol Section, S.W.A.T., Community Services Officers, K-9, Traffic Division, Community Service Section, School Resource Officers, Citizen Volunteers & Explorers.
PATROL
The main functions and missions of the Patrol Section are the provision of police services, preventing
crimes, and protecting the citizens, businesses, and visitors of Lompoc in a professional and proactive
way. The Patrol Section operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week responding to citizen-initiated calls for service, and engaging in officer-initiated activity. Some of the functions performed by members of the Patrol
Section include preventive patrol, preliminary criminal investigations, traffic enforcement, response to all
emergency situations, accident investigations, calls for service, and ensuring the safety and security in and
around all school zones. The Patrol Section works in close partnership with other Lompoc Police Department units, governmental agencies, and community organizations to solve crime-related problems at the
neighborhood level.
TRAFFIC DIVISION
The primary responsibilities of the Lompoc Police Department's Traffic Division are to make the streets of
Lompoc as safe as possible for citizens and visitors traveling by foot, bicycle, or motor vehicle, to reduce
traffic collisions, and improve traffic safety throughout the City of Lompoc. The Traffic Division investigates
traffic collisions from minor fender benders to fatal traffic collisions, follow-up on hit and run collisions,
and enforces Municipal Code and the California Vehicle Code laws. Officers responded to over 252 traffic
collisions in 2014. Two hundred forty-one people were arrested for Driving under the Influence and over
6000 traffic citations were issued in 2014.
SPECIAL WEAPONS AND TACTICS (S.W.A.T.)
Special Weapons & Tactics (S.W.A.T.) is composed of officers who have received extensive
training in the use of specialized weapons and tactical response. These officers serve the
citizens of Lompoc by safely diffusing violent or potentially violent high risk situations. Ancillary duties on the team include sniper/scout, less lethal and chemical agent’s instructor,
rappel master, breacher and armorer. Officers are trained for high risk building entries,
active shooter response, barricaded suspect response and hostage rescue. Each S.W.A.T.
team member attends an intensive 80-hour basic course upon selection to the team and
completes over 140 hours of rigorous training annually. The Crisis Negotiation Team augments S.W.A.T. during high risk incidents that require trained crisis-negotiation skills.
K-9
Bolt is a 3 year old male Belgian Malinois Patrol Dog. Bolt's primary job is to locate of hidden criminals and/or lost
citizens. The Canine Unit is assigned to the Patrol Section and its primary purpose is to assist patrol officers, but
they are available to assist any member of the department with their expertise. This is best accomplished by
providing a well-trained handler. The Officer is trained to safely locate and take into custody suspects who have concealed themselves or refuse to surrender.
COMMNUNITY SERVICES OFFICERS (CSO)
The primary duties of the Department’s Community Services Officers (CSO’s) are graffiti and vehicle
abatement. CSO’s provide support in crime prevention, investigation, and response where full police
powers are unnecessary. They also assists police officers in upholding law and order, seek out and report graffiti in our community, take non-injury/minor injury traffic collisions, and assist in department &
community functions.

COMPLIANCE RESPONSE TEAMS (C.R.T)
In an effort to address overcrowding in California’s prisons and assist in alleviating the State’s financial crisis, the Public Safety
Realignment Act (Assembly Bill 109) was signed into law on April 4, 2011. AB109, as subsequently revised by AB117 on June 29,
2011, transfers responsibility for specified lower level inmates and parolees from the California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation (CDCR) to counties. This change was implemented on October 1, 2011.
The Lompoc Police Department has participated as a member of the Compliance Response Team
for the Northern part of Santa Barbara County. The primary responsibility of this team is the
apprehension of persons who are violating the terms and conditions of their release. One officer
is assigned to the Compliance Response Team, along with a probation officer and deputies from
the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department. During 2014 the unit conducted 482 compliance
checks, and arrested 62 people for violations related to their conditions of release.

CRISIS NEGOTIATION TEAM (CNT)
Crisis negotiation is a law enforcement technique used to communicate with people who are threatening violence (terrorism, workplace violence, suicide, etc.), including barricaded subjects, stalkers, and
most famously, hostage-takers. Regardless of the type, each incident requires dedicated negotiation.
This is often initiated by the first officer(s) on the scene. Incidents involving barricaded subjects, hostage takers, or persons threatening suicide represent especially trying and stressful moments for law
enforcement personnel who respond to them. Officers first responding to the scene must quickly assess
the totality of the situation, secure the area, gauge the threat to hostages or bystanders, and request
additional units as appropriate. Crisis negotiators must establish contact with subjects, identify their
demands, and work to resolve tense and often volatile standoffs without loss of life. Special Weapons
and Tactics (SWAT) teams must be prepared to arrest subjects through swift tactical means. Field commanders assume ultimate responsibility for every aspect of the police response. For such a coordinated
response to be successful, each component needs to understand clearly the functions of the others.
LOMPOC CITY JAIL
The Lompoc Police Department operates a Type I jail facility 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. A total of 2,491 bookings of prisoners occurred during 2014. These bookings included 2,198 bookings by Lompoc Police Officers and 293 contract bookings from
other law enforcement agencies, as illustrated below:

COMMUNITY SERVICES SECTION
The goal of the Community Services Section is to ensure that the neighborhoods throughout the city are
provided with professional and effective service, based upon their diverse needs and concerns. The Community Services Section provides crime prevention and community-oriented strategies to better serve the
community. The Lompoc Police Department is engaged with citizens in developing these strategies to improve the quality of life in various neighborhoods. The Community Service Section also over sees the
Lompoc Police Beat, which is a live one hour weekly crime prevention show hosted by the LPD featuring a
variety of topics.
LOMPOC EXPLORER POST 700
Law Enforcement Exploring, also known as Police Explorers, is a career-oriented program that gives young adults the opportunity to explore a career in law enforcement
by working with local law enforcement agencies. Founded on July 12, 1973, it is one
of the Exploring programs from Learning for Life, a non-Scouting subsidiary of the Boy
Scouts of America. Each post is unique and the activities of each depend on their specific department’s policies and guidelines. Typical activities include: Weekly training,
patrol “ride-alongs”, community service, tactical training, honor guards duties, radio
procedure arrests and use of force, traffic stops, building searches, crime scene investigations, report writing, domestic crises, etc..
G.R.E.A.T.
(GANG RESISTANCE EDUCATION & TRAINING)
The G.R.E.A.T. Program is a school-based, law enforcement officer-instructed classroom curriculum. With prevention as its primary objective, the program provides social tools for youth to stand against delinquency, youth violence, and gang membership. 5th graders students are reminded that their “decisions” have “outcomes” and to be safe. These youth are also taught
the effects and consequences of drug and alcohol abuse.
SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS (SRO’S)
The SRO (School Resource Officers) are sworn law enforcement officers who are responsible for providing
security and crime prevention services in the school environment. SROs work closely with administrators
in an effort to create a safer environment for both students and staff. The responsibilities of SROs are
regular police officers where they have the ability to make arrests, respond to calls for service, and document incidents that occur within the Lompoc Unified School system. School Resource Officers typically
have additional duties to include mentoring and conducting presentations on youth-related issues.
School Resource Officers play an integral role in the public school system and have had many positive
impacts on the students that they are involved with.
CITIZEN VOLUNTEERS
Community Volunteers continue to be tremendously valuable to the operations of the Lompoc
Police Department. Volunteers perform functions such as bicycle licensing, property inventory, clerical assistance at DUI check points, crime scene preservation, searches for missing children, traffic control, security checks of vacationing residents’ homes, and assistance at civic
functions. The Volunteer Citizens on Patrol (V-COPS) are a specialized group of Community
Volunteers who receive additional training and equipment to allow them to provide security
patrols in Lompoc.

ELKS OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE AWARD
SHAELYN GREEN
Officer Shaelyn Green joined the Lompoc Police Department as a Dispatcher on February 12, 2011. After later graduating from the Allan Hancock College Public Safety Training Center, she achieved her goal of becoming a sworn officer with the Lompoc Police
Department on December 12, 2013.
Officer Green soon demonstrated her passion for her role in protecting the people of
the City of Lompoc. Green’s performance evaluations noted her enthusiasm for her
work, and that when not handling calls for service she is very proactive with self initiated activity. This certainly proved to be the case in 2014. Green’s recap of arrests is both
impressive and commendable. During 2014, Green made 246 physical arrests for a variety of offenses. Another notable accomplishment is the 51 arrests she has made suspects under the influence of a controlled substance, a violation of section 11550 of the
Health and Safety Code. This is great support for one of the Department’s 2014 goals,
to increase the number of arrests for “under the influence.”
In addition to her accomplishments in arresting criminal offenders in 2014, Green has
shown a commitment to traffic safety, having written 140 citations for various violations
of the California Vehicle Code. It is widely believed in law enforcement that aggressive
traffic enforcement reduces traffic collisions. Consequently, her enforcement of traffic
laws supports another 2014 goal of reducing traffic collisions by five percent.
Green’s productivity and loyalty to the Lompoc Police Department is commendable. Her commitment to public service and
her impressive recap of arrests and citations makes her an ideal
recipient of the 2014 Elks Award for Outstanding Performance.

Code of Ethics
As a Law Enforcement Officer, my fundamental duty is to serve humanity; to safeguard lives and property; to protect
the innocent against deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation, and the peaceful against violence or disorder; and to respect the Constitutional right of all people to liberty, equality and justice.
I will keep my private life unsullied as an example to all and will behave in a manner which brings credit to myself and
my agency. I will maintain courageous calm in the face of danger, scorn, or ridicule; develop self-restraint; and be constantly mindful of the welfare of others. Honest in thought and deed in both my personal and official life, I will be exemplary in obeying the law, and the regulations of my department. Whatever I see or hear of a confidential nature or that
is confided to me in my official capacity will be kept ever secret unless revelation is necessary in the performance of
my duty.
I will never act officiously or permit personal bias, prejudices, political beliefs, animosities, aspirations, or friendships to
improperly influence my decisions. I will always remember my shared humanity and will cultivate an attitude of compassion, respect, and empathy toward all peoples.
With no compromise for crime and with relentless prosecution of criminals, I will enforce the laws courteously and appropriately without fear or favor, malice or ill will, never employing unnecessary force or violence and never accepting
gratuities. I will never engage in acts of bribery nor will I condone such acts by others. I will cooperate with all legally
constituted agencies and their representatives, in the pursuit of justice and the maintenance of integrity in law enforcement.
I recognize the badge of my office as a symbol of public faith, and I accept it as a public trust to be held only so long as
I am true to the ethics of the police service. I will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating
myself before all I hold sacred, to my chosen profession....law enforcement.
