Achievements
- Citizen satisfaction with police services exceeded the target of 70% or above on satisfaction with police services and neighborhood safety. A citizen survey revealed 73% of respondents report overall satisfaction with police services and 91% feel safe in their neighborhoods.
- Vehicle collisions decreased by 6.1%. Police attribute the decrease to enforcement, engineering and education efforts
- Online crime reporting, a new Internet-based service, made reporting of nonemergency crimes more convenient for citizens while freeing officers to respond to more pressing emergencies
- The residential fire rate (the number of fires per 1,000 population) decreased to .97 – the lowest residential fire rate in three decades. The fire fatality rate also continues to decline from previous years, from 6.6 per million population in FY2003 to 4.9 in FY2004.
- Fire code inspections were completed by the City's Fire Prevention Bureau within the state-mandated frequencies at a rate of 101%. This percentage reflects the completion of all current and overdue inspections. In addition, 99.8% of all fire code violations were corrected within specified times.
- Vehicular collisions per vehicle miles traveled (VMT) decreased by 8.5%, surpassing the target of a 5% reduction
- Citations for moving violations declined in three of four target categories: speeding (-13%), tailgating (-18%) and DWI (-1%) .
- Various initiatives have been implemented to improve homeland security capabilities, including enhanced training, personal protective equipment purchases, seminars for area security personnel and a newly established ten-county coalition to improve radio system interoperability, coordination and response.
