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.

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. Lompoc Police Department www.cityoflompoc.com/police/ Page 5 2014 Annual Report 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. Violations Number of Arrest: Post Sentencing Supervision Violation Violation of Electronic Monitoring Probation Violation State Parole Violation Flash Incarceration 6 1 36 7 12 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: LOMPOC POLICE BOOKINGS ADULTS Male Female Total Adults JUVENILES Male Female Total Juveniles Lompoc Police Department 1502 568 2070 OTHER DEPARTMENTS ADULTS Male 213 Female 80 Total Adults 293 73 55 128 www.cityoflompoc.com/police/ Page 6 2014 Annual Report OPERATIONS DIVISION 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.

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.
