2011 Annual Report
Law Enforcement Code Of Ethics
As a Law Enforcement Officer, my fundamental duty is to service mankind; 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
rights of all men to liberty, equality and justice.
I will keep my private life unsullied as an example to all; 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 laws of the land and the regulations of my department. Whatever
I see or hear of a confidential nature or that is confided in me in my official capacity will be
kept secret unless the revelation is necessary in the performance of my duty.
I will never act officiously or permit personal feelings, prejudices, animosities, or friendships
to influence my decisions. With no compromise for crime and with relentless prosecution of
criminals, I will enforce the law courteously and appropriately without fear or favor, malice
or ill will, never employing unnecessary force or violence and never accepting gratuities.
I recognize the badge of my office as a symbol of public faith, and I accept it as a public
trust to be held so long as I am true to the ethics of police service. I will constantly strive to
achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating myself before God to my chosen profession . . .
law enforcement.
The Toledo Police Academy 36th class, appointed March 30, 1979, is one of the few classes that
does not have an official graduation picture. The day they graduated from the academy, Toledo Police
officers went on strike. The walkout lasted 48 hours and was marked by numerous incidents of arson
throughout the city. The city was eventually granted an injunction that forced officers to either go
back on the job or face fines.
A Letter From
Chief Derrick Diggs
A
s the new Chief of Police for the Toledo Police
Department, I am proud to present the 2011 Toledo
Police Annual Report, titled “Just the Facts.”
With the opening of the Toledo Police Museum in June of
2011, the department has uncovered a tremendous wealth of
facts untouched for decades. This Annual Report chronicles
the efforts made by countless volunteers to bring the museum
to fruition (pages 4-9) and compares many interesting facts
throughout from the 1928 annual report. The 1928 report is
one of the oldest in-tact reports the museum currently owns.
Chief Derrick Diggs was appointed
to the Toledo Police Department on
July 12, 1977. He was promoted
to the rank of Sergeant in 1986,
Lieutenant in 1990, Captain in 1995,
and Deputy Chief in 2001. He was
appointed to the position of Chief of
Police on October 21, 2011.
This report also hints to future advances in technology that
I consider a cornerstone to my service as Chief of Police
(page 27). Capitalizing on new technological innovations
will afford the Toledo Police Department the opportunity
to prevent future crimes, optimize internal operations and
personnel allocations, and aide in detecting and solving
chronic problems.
I began my career with the Toledo Police Department nearly
35 years ago, fulfilling a range of assignments. Regardless of
my position or assignment, my goal throughout my career has
always been to forge a stronger department and a healthier,
safer community.
I take seriously the responsibilities and accountability that
comes with this position. Being provided the opportunity
throughout my career to learn from, work with, and now,
lead the men and women of this agency, I have observed and
developed a tremendous amount of integrity, respect, and
honor from having worn this uniform.
Because of my experiences, I know all too well the
challenges and obligations that are set before me, and I am
prepared. The Toledo Police Department has a strong and
proud history of service to this city and the people who live,
work, and play here. Since 1867, officers have willingly
risked their lives in the performance of their duties to protect
the residents of Toledo.
I am this city’s 39th Chief of Police, and the men and women
I lead courageously carry this same obligation.

Toledo Police Museum
Becomes a Reality
On May 13, 2010, Chief Mike Navarre
handed Officer Beth Cooley a note after a
staff meeting: Call retired Officer Dick Parton
about opening a museum. Dick suggested
calling retired officer Ed Kusina. Within
days, a meeting was set up with retirees
Jim Jones, Bill Kellar, George Wagner and
Ed Kusina to discuss the possibility of reopening a museum.
From there, it was full steam ahead.
The vision of a police museum was an idea
that initially seemed impossible to bring
to fruition. Items from the previous police
museum were still stored in various locations,
untouched for over seventeen years. A new
home for the museum had not been secured.
How would it be funded? Does anybody care
enough to help?
Above: The building at 2201 Kenwood Boulevard once housed
the Ottawa Park Nature Center, but sat empty for over two
years before it became home to the Toledo Police Museum.
Construction began on Nov. 3, 2010 when Sergeant Ed Mack
organized a small work crew to remove a seating area around
the fireplace and a shelving unit in the kitchen area.
But they did care! With the hard work and
dedication from a lot of great volunteers,
the Toledo Police Museum opened to the
public with a spectacular Grand Opening
Celebration on June 2, 2011.
Most of the items on display were found by
the late Officer Ken Deck, who amassed them
during his lifetime to help preserve them. He
founded the first police museum in 1988 in
the Safety Building, but it lasted only a few
years before Chief Galvin repurposed the
room in 1994, and the artifacts were put into
storage.
The former Ottawa Park Nature Center,
which is situated next door to the Ottawa
Park Substation, was suggested as a
possible location by Captain Jim O’Bryant.
The beautiful building had sat empty for a
couple of years. Chief Michael Navarre and
Mayor Michael Bell were completely behind
the project and offered their assistance to
help make the Center the new home for The
Toledo Police Museum.
The museum has been a great success,
welcoming over 2,000 visitors during the first
six months of operation. They have welcomed
many tour groups and even hosted a Fall
picnic in 2011 in honor of our police officers.

Above: Retired Sergeant Mary Ann Rose was a constant fixture
at the museum, cleaning the place from top to bottom and finding
bunches of work for her husband, retired Officer Denny Rose.
Below: Sergeant Tom Kosmyna designed and created the
firearms exhibit. He also planned which weapons would be
removed from storage in the armory and displayed in the exhibit.
Above Left: Artists for the “Time Line Project,” Sherri Kellar-Raab and Larraine
Dressel, meet at the museum to organize information gathered by the time line
research team: Officers Dan Wagner, George Roush, Pat Sutherland, and Scott
Bailey, Detective Steve Harrison, LCSO Deputy Jason Langois, Civilian Dispatcher
Cindee Craig, Civilian Clerk Marge Mechel and Retired Officer Wendell Smith.
Above Right: “Jack of all trades,” Bill Kellar, begins the process of removing a
window in the storage room so it could be replaced with bricks.
Below: Officer Rob Britt brings the Records Bureau’s former cash register into the
museum on a Bobcat.
Bottom Left: Retired Officer Denny Rose and current Officer Dennis Cole
combine efforts on one of many construction projects.
Above: Officer Bill White
dedicated much time to the lighting
in the museum, both indoor and
outdoor. He made many trips to
Mr. Lightbulb and cleaned each of
the filthy light fixtures before he
replaced the bulbs.
Middle Bottom: Bricklayer John
Buchholz donated countless hours
to the museum. A talented artist, he
meticulously worked on the posts
for the museum sign designed by
retired Detective Bob Poiry. He also
secured the storeroom by bricking
in a window on the rear of the
building.
Bottom Right: Officer Beth Cooley
begins stripping years of dirt and
wax buildup from the floors.

Above: On May 19, 2011, only 18 days before the grand
opening, it did not appear that the museum would be ready to
open on schedule. A door large enough to accommodate the
1948 clone police wagon had to be beautifully crafted to fit
the architecture of the building. The dust caused by the late
construction halted progress on the exhibits and temporarily
terminated any cleaning efforts.
Below: Finally, on May 31, 2011, retired Officer Bill Kellar
rolled the newly restored 1948 police wagon into the museum.
Page 7, far right bottom corner: Retired police officer Fred
Johnson and wife Natalie contacted retired Sergeant Virge
Oliver for some history on his beloved police dog, “Sarge.”
From pictures Virge provided, Detective Terry Cousino painted
a concrete statue, donated at a discount price by Bombrys
Ornamental Concrete, to look just like him.
Left: Retired Detective Bob Poiry. Bob designed and created the Toledo Police Museum sign shown in the picture to the
right. Retired Officer Bill Kellar and volunteer bricklayer, John Buchholz, poured the footers for the sign on December 1,
2010, a chilly morning, with beautiful quarter-sized snow flurries falling down on them.

City of Toledo by Beats and Sectors
The Unit Identification System is a geographic-oriented
document that depicts the location of the 8 sectors and 16
beats within the City of Toledo.
DISTRICTS: An area whose boundary represents the span of control of a district station and its corresponding dispatch
talk-group. There are two districts in the City of Toledo.
SECTORS: Geographical areas contained within districts. Sectors are generally divided by natural barriers, such as
the Maumee River, the expressway system or the rail lines. There are eight sectors in the city.
BEATS: Areas contained within sectors, and are used for assigning units to a specific area within a sector. Each sector
contains two beats, and there are a total of 16 beats on the map.
UNITS: Police officer(s) assigned to a particular beat. They may be bike, foot, harbor or mounted patrol, motorcycle
or vehicle units, etc.
The Unit Identification System uses numerical designations. These designations then compose the geographic areas
which divide the city into two districts:
Central District – Sectors 1, 2, 3 & 4 – Central Talk Group
Scott Park District – Sectors 5, 6, 7 & 8 – South Talk Group

1928 Toledo Police Annual Report
I nvestigative
Services
Division
1928
The 1928 Annual Report is one of the earliest complete Toledo Police
Department annual reports the Toledo Police Museum has on record. The
report was submitted by Chief of Police Louis J. Haas to Mr. J. R. Cowell,
Director of Public Safety, on January 10, 1929.
The 93-page document is typed on onion skin paper that has grown brittle
with time, but the information heldinside is invaluable to understanding the
department’s role in this
city and defining who we
are today.
We live in a time of rapid
change and technological
advancement. The
officers who walked
the streets of Toledo
before us lived in such
drastically different times
we would be incapable
of understanding their
accomplishments and
struggles without the aid
of items like the 1928
Annual Report.
Deputy Chief Derrick Diggs
Appointed Chief
October 21, 2011
Our view of history
shapes the way we
view the present. By
constructing an accurate
picture of our unique
combined experience as
a police department, we
hope to find clues to our
present condition.
The 1928 Annual
Report is exhaustive
in its recording of the
facts of that year. Fun
to read (but possibly
uncomfortable for the officers involved) were the scores of all sworn
members annual firearms pistol qualifications. The score of 240 or higher
out of a possible 300 was considered Expert, 210 to 239 was Sharpshooter,
and 180 was Marksman. There were no perfect scores, but many were in
the Expert and Sharpshooter category. The highest score was a near perfect
296 shot by Officer F. T. Armstrong. The lowest score was a 29.
Wherever possible, comparisons between the 1929 and 2011 annual reports
are included in this report.
“History never looks like history
when you are living through it.
-John W. Gardner
“Just the facts, ma’am.”

“We are woefully lacking in
ambulance service for which
we are called upon daily . . .
At present, stretchers carried
in patrol autos are . . . badly
stained with blood and grit that
is ground into the fabric and is
impossible to remove. Service
of this kind is highly unsanitary.
Because of the construction
of the stretcher, the victim of
an accident must be placed on
the floor of the machine and is
subjected to every jar resulting
from that vehicle’s passage over
uneven pavements enroute to
the hospital.”

Backgrounds Unit
The Backgrounds Unit processed
293 Police candidate investigations,
140 Fire candidate packages and 15
Civilian packages in 2011.
1928 Motor Pool
The following equipment was
purchased and placed in service:
5 Indian-Ace Motorcycles
5 Harley-Davidson Motorcycles
6 Whippet Sedans
There are 3 Federal-Knight
Patrol Wagons in service: 1 at
Central Station, 1 at Lagrange
Station and 1 at the East Side
Station. They were purchased in
February of 1925 and have an
average of 60,000 miles each,
and are well worn. The up-keep
is exorbitant due to the age and
hard usage. One of these makes a
trip each day (Sunday excepted)
to The House of Correction,
Whitehouse, Ohio, and usually
carries more than the capacity
which it originally was built for.
We have 5 speed cars in
service; 2 Cadillac Touring at
Central Station, 1 Willys-Knight
Touring at East Side Station, 1
Willys-Knight Touring at No. 3
(Lagrange) Station, and 1 WillysKnight at No. 4 (Monroe and
Bancroft) Station. These autos
were purchased in 1926, and have
an average mileage of 17,000
miles on each.
The 6 new Whippet Sedans are
in Scout Service. We have 14
Whippet Touring cars in service
. . . they are in deplorable
condition and the constant repairs
to keep these autos in service is
very expensive.
We have 9 Fords, 1 Pontiac,
and 2 Chevrolets in service in
the Detective Bureau, Vice and
Liquor Squads, Women’s Bureau,
and special duty. These autos were
confiscated by the department,
but none of these cars are in good
condition. We also have 2 Cadillac
Touring cars which were bought in
1922 and have a mileage beyond
90,000 miles, and are used only in
emergencies.

As usual, the good-natured rivalry
between fire and police was alive
and well. Police proved victorious,
out-scoring Fire 16-8.

facts
1879 Photographs were initiated,
but there was a limited use
of photographs for criminal
identification.
1882 The Bertillion System was
adopted for identification of
criminals. This was a system
of measurements, as well as
notation of all scars and marks
on a prisoner’s body. These
measurements included almost
every part of the body including
the circumference of the head and
arm span. All scars and marks on
the body were listed in detail.
1903 A Rogues Gallery was
established to keep track of
known or suspected criminals.
At this time the department did
away with the Bertillion System.
The suspects were carded and
photographed. The photos were
then kept on file with information
about the subject. These photos
were shown to victims to help
them identify their assailants.
1905 Patrolman Richard F. McKay
bought a camera with his own
funds and began taking pictures
for record keeping. This was the
first official “Records Bureau”
photo. Patrolmen William D.
Delahanty and McKay were placed
in charge of the new Identification
and Information
Bureau. They
organized and
kept track of the
Rogue’s Gallery.
1906 Patrolman
McKay
began taking
fingerprints of
suspects. He
was taught the
procedure by
Mrs. Mary E.
Holland who had
been instructed
by Inspector
Frost of the Finger
Print Branch of New Scotland Yard.
1913 The Records Bureau
became known as the Bureau of
Identification and Records. Richard
McKay became the Superintendent
of the Bureau.
1917 The Director of Public Safety
appointed four clerks to staff
the Bureau of Identification and
Records.
1932 The Identification Bureau
opened nights. Previously
it only functioned during
day time hours.
1985 The division’s
Records Section began
computerizing its records.

Operations
The Operations Division is the
largest component of the Toledo
Police Department. Sworn personnel
assigned to the Operations Division
handle the bulk of all 9-1-1 calls for
service and are the backbone of the
department, having direct contact
with the citizens of our city on a
daily basis.
Of all incidents occurring in 2011,
arguably one of the most dangerous
situations that presented itself to
Operations’ officers was the rampage
of Brian Lipp.
Lipp’s crime spree in late August
and early September of 2011
culminated in a two-day, multijurisdictional manhunt. Lipp
ultimately led law enforcement on
a chase through two counties. The
violent spree ended when Lipp was
shot and killed by officers hours
after contributing to a crash that
killed an innocent motorist and
injured two veteran officers.
1928
In general, the Women’s Bureau
of the Toledo Police Department
deals with women and girls
who are placed under arrest by
any officer of the Department,
or against whom reports are
received, from parents or other
citizens. The Bureau also deals
with reports and charges made
against men where minors are
the victims.
Officers of the Women’s Bureau
are required to inspect dance
halls, skating rinks, cafes, penny
arcades, public parks, railroad
and bus station and other places
frequented by women and girls.

The Gang Task Force participated
with The Federal Bureau of
Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives
(ATF), the Ohio State Highway
Patrol, and several other divisions/
bureaus of the Toledo Police
Department to assist the United
States Attorney’s Office in Operation
VGRIP (Violence and Gun
Reduction Interdiction Program).
The program was highly successful,
helping to stem gang violence and
reduce the numbers of weapons
within the city.
The Gang Task Force, in collaboration
with the ATF, prosecuted 21
individuals for gun violations in the
Federal Court System. This resulted in
mandatory jail time for all offenders.
I wish to call your attention to
the hardship endured by our
motorcycle men, who must
ride against the bitter winds
of winter. They enjoy no other
protection than that of goggles
and they find it torturous to ride
at any great speed or for any
distance against the bitter cold.
I recommend that a sufficient
number of motorcycles be
equipped with celluloid
windshields for winter use.
Events and Accomplishments
Above: (Thank you to Lieutenant
Matthew Hertzfeld, Public
Information Officer, Toledo Fire &
Rescue Department, for providing
the above photo.) The friendly,
annual blood drive competition
known as the Battle of the Badges
was held December 19, 2011,
through Saturday, January 7, 2012.
It was another defeat for the Police
Department, soundly losing to the
Fire department. But the real winners
are those who need blood during the
holiday season when blood supply
is traditionally low. Front Row:

22nd Annual North American
Police Ski Championships
Detective Bonnie Weis competed
in the 22nd Annual North American
Police Ski Championships in
Snowmass, Colorado. She brought
home the coveted Paul Mitchell
Award and four gold medals. There
were competitors from New Zealand,
Austria, England, and Germany
along side the officers from the USA.
12 Kids of Christmas
2012 was the largest “12 Kids of
Christmas” to date. 20 children
shopped with a Police Officer at
Miejers and 10 children shopped
at Toys R Us. Childers Limousine
and McDonalds in Manhattan Plaza
helped sponsor the event. Between
donations and profit made from the
raffle, the 2012 event is already paid
for.
Mountain Mentors
Sergeant Greg Mahlman and
Officer Bill Michalski remain
involved in Mountain Mentors, a
not-for-profit faith-based mission
program committed to impacting
the lives of at-risk youth in our
community. Adult role models serve
as advocates for teens in the areas
of education, work, family and
court. Coupled with a wilderness
experience, this year long mentoring
program helps young people see
themselves and society in a more
positive light, shows them a bigger
and better world.
Give Autism the Boot
The Toledo Police Department was
again involved in the Give Autism
the Boot! Campaign. The primary
concept of the campaign is to place
local rescue workers along with
civilian volunteers in high traffic
stores and strategically located
intersections to collect donations.
Since 2006, the Give Autism the
Boot! Campaign has distributed
over $600,000 to 18 different
organizations that serve those
affected by autism.

The Emergency Services Unit
The Emergency Operations Group,
which includes Lucas County EMA,
the Sheriff, Toledo Fire, Toledo
Police, and others, completed a
consolidated Emergency Operations
Plan for Toledo and the Lucas
County urban area. This project was
facilitated using homeland security
grant funding. This rewrite was
necessary to incorporate NIMS and
ICS compliance language mandated
by the federal grant acceptance. It
made sense to consolidate a plan
for the Urban Area considering the
nature of response to any critical
incident. This plan will address “all
hazards.”

It was very gratifying for this
department to show a decrease
in the number of fatal accidents
to children. This, to a great
extent, I believe can be attributed
to the use of the play grounds
throughout the city that have
been established and it is
becoming more evident each
year.
There are 278 licensed taxicabs

All of the interurban busses

The Police Department now has
142 intersections controlled by
traffic signal lights. The benefits
that are being derived from the
traffic lights is something which
cannot be measured in terms
of the cost in the prevention of
accidents. . . While it is true that
there is a great deal of comment
both for and against the lights, I
believe that it is the only possible
way that this department could
consider taking care of the traffic
at these intersections.

1928 Internal Affairs Report
Discipline in the uniformed
rank of the department has
been exceptionally good
and is an indication of the
confidence of the rank and file
in the administration of the
department.
Politics have been eliminated
and every member has been
placed on his merit. This
method of administrating the
affairs of the department is
reflected in their good conduct.
Very few complaints of a serious
nature have reached my office
since January, 1928. Upon

complaints, I have found in
favor of the officer complained

Our Speed cars have been
equipped with machine guns
and in order to safeguard this
arm from damage or theft, it
has been found necessary to
place them in boxes under lock
and key.
It seems to me that this method
defeats the very purpose
of their existence. If called
upon to avail themselves of
a weapon thus secured, the
officers would find themselves
at a decided disadvantage.
They would be compelled to
direct their attention from
the cause of the emergency
in order to secure the key to
unlock the gun container or
abandon the effort altogether
and depend upon their small
arms.
It would have been a much
better plan to have built on
the rear of the front seat a
compartment with an electric
control lock that could be
opened without a key only
when the motor of the car was
running.

Training Section - Toledo Police Range and the
Camp Perry NRA National Outdoor Rifle &
Pistol Championship Connection
The Toledo Police Range, dedicated
on September 26, 1990, falls
under the authority of the Training
Section. Range personnel service
94 shotguns annually and are
responsible for maintaining over
600 department-issued pistols. It
is also the responsibility of range
personnel to unload and make safe
all firearms that officers come in
contact with that they are unable to
render safe.
In 2011, the Toledo Police Range
was made available to over 150
retirees who chose to qualify under
The Law Enforcement Officers
Safety Act, enacted in 2004. It was
also used by 20 outside agencies in
2011. These agencies included the
FBI, Secret Service, U.S. Marshall’s,
Federal EPA, U.S. Fish & Wildlife,
State Wildlife, State Watercraft,
HUD, the State Prison, 180th Air
National Guard Security Forces, and
various other local agencies.
The Toledo Police Bay View Park
Pistol Range, dedicated in 1924,
was the premier police pistol range
in the country at the time. From the
1928 Annual Report:
“We are bringing to completion
at Bay View Park an inside
revolver range in conjunction
with our great outside range.
From the 1928 Annual Report:
“ . . . Captain Althaus of the
Regular Army called upon our
Chief and requested that our
Department provide a Police
Trophy to be contested for at the
Annual Police Shoot at Camp
Perry.
They were prompted to call on
our Department because of the
outstanding interest we have
manifested in marksmanship by
the building and maintenance of
our range at Bay View Park.
The Trophy was secured and
presented to our Department thru
the person of Mayor Jackson.
The acquisition of this trophy
was made possible thru the
generosity of Mr. Harry Sobel,
general manager of the Home
Furniture Co. Our Department
will in turn present the trophy to
the War Department, who will be
its custodian and who supervise
the annual Police Shoot at Camp
Perry.
The seven-week
span of the Camp
Perry National
Matches is the only
time all of the 130
NRA trophies are
gathered together
in one place.
. . . Not only will this building
complete the Department’s
equipment in range facilities,
but will also provide us with a
splendid recreation center.”
In 1974, the Bay View Park Range
was closed to make room for the
Detwiler Golf Course parking lot.
All that stands today is the original
range house.
The Sobel Trophy
This trophy is a bronze statuette,
24 inches high, of a Toledo Police
Officer in the act of drawing his
pistol. It is mounted upon an
eight-inch base. It was placed in
competition in 1928 by Mr. Louis
Sobel of Toledo, who was a First
Lieutenant of Infantry in the 91st
Division during World War I.
In 2007, it was removed from
competition.
Training Section - Toledo Police Academy
In 2011, the Training Section
continued in its mission of
providing quality training programs
to all members of the Toledo Police
Department. While some of the
training was general in nature,
other training programs were
more selective and designed to
meet the continuing educational
standards required for today’s law
enforcement professionals.
All in all, the Training Section
provided 16,920 continuing
professional education hours to
1,017 officers from within the
department and from outside
agencies.
Above: The 59th Accelerated Police Academy Class. Back row training
staff: Deputy Chief Don Kenney, Officer Russ Burke, Sergeant Cheryl

The Training Section conducted its third Accelerated/Lateral Entry
Basic Class for six officers previously certified by the State of Ohio. The
accelerated academy started on October 3, 2011, and lasted five weeks,
graduating six officers on November 4, 2011. The remainder of the 59th
Police Academy class immediately followed on November 15, 2011, and
will be graduating in May of 2012.

While the department is fairly well
equipped to carry on the crusade
against the law violator, there is
abundant room for improvement.
During the past year, a decided
advantage has been gained by
providing the department with
up-to-date defensive weapons;
the purchase of machine guns,
gas bombs and hand grenades,
and bullet proof vests is to be
commended; also the purchase of
closed cars for the scout crews,
for their employment, has placed
the Department in a more secure
position than formerly.

Data Driven Policing Initiative
In June of 2011, the The Toledo
Police Department began preparing
for the Data Driven Policing
Initiative to be implemented in
2012.
Recent technological advances
have increased police departments’
ability to collect and analyze data.
The types of information obtained
from these technologies enables
crime analysts to make predictions
about future crimes and potential
problem locations.
The Data-Driven Policing Model
involves the process of collecting,
analyzing, and providing timely
and pertinent information relative
to crime patterns and trend
correlations, to assist operational
and administrative personnel
in planning and deployment of
resources.
The Data-Driven Policing Model
involves a multifaceted approach
that utilizes proven technology
that has recently been adapted to
meet law enforcement needs. The
foundation of this approach requires
the development of a Real Time
Crime Center (RTCC).
Currently, our department has
numerous sources of information
that are not being fully utilized. The
RTCC integrates multiple disparate
data sources so that all available
data is being analyzed through the
crime analysis process.
The technologies involved in this
approach range from electronic
report writing to advanced software
that performs predictive analysis
by utilizing algorithms to discover
significant crime patterns. The basis
of the program revolves around the
collection of data, and the majority
of data analyzed in law enforcement
is found within its crime reports.
It is critical that a department is
able to collect and analyze accurate
and timely data. Therefore, it is
imperative that police departments
incorporate electronic report writing
as well as a fully integrated Record
Management System (RMS) that
allows personnel to easily access,
search, and analyze their data.
Within this Data-Driven approach,
the Toledo Police Department will
utilize a combination of camera
systems. An in-depth analysis will
determine the optimum locations
for these cameras.
Another key component of the
RTCC is the use of crime analysts
to collect and analyze data,
identify patterns and hotspots,
prepare reports, and disseminate
information to administrators,
officers and the public.
The final steps in the Data-Driven
Policing Model are response,
evaluation and accountability. Once
the data has been analyzed and
the information is disseminated,
the concerned commander is
responsible for developing and
implementing a response to the
specific issue. The problem or issue
continues to be analyzed by the
crime analyst who evaluates and
reports the results of the response
back to the concerned commander.
Commanders are held accountable
for problems identified in their
area of responsibility and they are
required to modify responses until
an acceptable result is achieved.
RTCC meetings are held with
all commanders and the Chief of
Police, or his or her designee, so
that commanders can report on their
response plans as well as review
the results of previous plans. By
having all commanders present for
these meetings, there is a greater
dispersion of information across
the department and increased
development of new ideas.

The Streets of Toledo are
practically free of lewd
women and solicitors. All the
professional gambling places
have been closed and are being
carefully watched to see that
they remain closed.
By continually raiding the
various places where punch
boards and other gambling
paraphernalia has been in

utilized 7 wiretaps, executed
19 search warrants, confiscated
$60,000 and approximately 5
kilos of heroin, and resulted in the
arrest of 33 individuals. Of these
individuals, 22 were indicted at the
federal level, with the remaining
22 being indicted at the state level.
All 33 suspects plead guilty in their
respective courts. This case had a
huge impact on the flow of heroin
into the city of Toledo.

I
n honor and tribute to the officers of the Toledo Police Department
who heroically and selflessly gave their lives while protecting the
citizens of this community. The ultimate sacrifice made by these
fallen officers shall not be forgotten.
April 16, 1928
A gang of “machine gun bandits” had just robbed an
American Express Co. truck carrying hundreds of
thousands of dollars. They then stole a 6-cylinder
Whippet car from the vicinity of 13th Street and fled to
2304 Upton Avenue where Patrolman George Zientara
and his partner, John Biskupski, surprised them.
Several police officers surrounded the house. Patrolman
Zientara stationed himself at the corner of a garage. One
of the robbers appeared out of the back door of the house,
and while Zientara was covering him, another robber
shot Zientara from a bedroom window.
George Zientara was married to Evelyn and they had
three small sons; 4-year-old Eugene, 3-year-old Richard,
and 7-month-old George. The family lived in a new
home at 1042 Tecumseh Street. After his murder, the
Toledo Blade created a fund and friends and citizens
donated to pay off the mortgage of the Zientara family
home.
George Zeintara, Jr. was appointed to the Toledo Police
Department exactly 25 years after his father’s death.
On April 16, 1953, Chief Ray Allen proudly pinned his
father’s badge on him.
Evelyn never remarried.

Joseph C. Baker, one of the
“holdup men” responsible for
the slaying of Patrolman George
Zientara, was mailed out to police
agencies around the country. This
particular bulletin was returned
to the Toledo Police Department
by a Missouri police department
in 2011 after it was found in
some files that were marked to be
destroyed.
