Mission Statement

The Ankeny Police Department,

in cooperation with the community, serves to protect

life and property, reduce the fear and frequency of

crime, and enhance the quality of life for all residents.


The Police Department proudly presents the 2016 Annual Report to Honorable Mayor

Gary Lorenz, members of the City Council, and residents of this great city.

The City of Ankeny was identified by the U.S. Census Bureau as the 3rd fastest growing

city in the United States in 2015 and 14th fastest growing city in 2016. Ankeny was the

only city in the Midwest to achieve this honor. Once again we maintained a stable

crime rate, one with no reported homicides during the year. Residents consistently

rate Ankeny as a safe city with scores as high as 97% from survey respondents. Citizen

satisfaction scores remain at 90% in recent surveys. Both of these scores are an acknowledgement of

top down great work by all employees adjusting to the demands of city growth and community

expectations. During 2016 our department issued 16 exemplary performance letters to police officers

for their outstanding work.

Law enforcement in the metro also had a difficult year in 2016 due to five line of duty deaths. Five metro

police officers lost their lives to gun fire or traffic deaths. We were all tragically affected by the loss of

these good friends and consummate professionals. The heartache associated with the tragic loss of life

was quickly assuaged by the generosity of hundreds of residents who flooded our building with food,

cards, flowers, and banners of encouragement. It is this kind of relationship with our community that

makes us a strong agency and one based upon partnerships. This special connection is also a tribute to

our residents who helped to heal our heavy hearts.

We launched several programs in 2016 including two new software programs that enhanced our officer

training and another that provides us with better tracking of our service to the community. Among our

successes was a COPS Hiring Grant awarded to the department in the fall of 2016. The $375,000 hiring

grant was the largest grant awarded to any police agency in the State of Iowa. With strong support from

the City Council, we started construction of the computer platform and software to host data capture

from body worn cameras, expected for rollout in early 2017.

A rapidly unfolding issue for all law enforcement agencies is hiring and retention. With a very strong

economy, low unemployment rates, and competitive opportunities, it is growing increasingly difficult to

recruit and retain persons interested in this career field. Our turnover rate steadily occurs within the first

few years of employment, a national pattern of turnover in this field of work. As a result, our growing

agency is very young but exceptionally trained and educated.

Sincerely,

Gary J. Mikulec

Department Statistics and Turnover

The turnover rate of six officers in 2016 is slightly higher than our average annual attrition rate of 4.4.

The rate is consistent with national trending models that suggest 1 of 5 employees will leave

employment within the first year on the job. Ankeny Police Department has maintained a high standard

for recruitment and hiring. Applicants are provided additional points for education, job experience and

military experience. Our new hires are also desirable employees in the private market and arrive with a

strong college education. Roughly 40% of our workforce have former military experience. Recent hiring

strategies have included direct outreach to applicants and criminal justice programs in surrounding

colleges and universities. Advertising for police officers has evolved from print media to digital and social

media on a local and national level. On average we hire 4% of all police applicants.

Administrative Division

The annual budget is prepared by the Administrative staff including the police chief, captains and

lieutenants. The budget is a compilation of staffing levels, training objectives, service delivery, and

facility/equipment upkeep. Lieutenants regularly monitor our calls for service and assess outcomes

against current equipment and training standards. As crimes evolve, we maintain pace to train and equip

our agency to meet new demands for service. National training trends, including principles set by the

Department of Justice as well as the Bureau of Justice Administration, are routinely incorporated into

our policy development and training. Many of these standards are essential for successful grant

opportunities. The Captains play a prominent role in researching equipment critical to service delivery

in their division. This team approach, together with outcome measures, provides a strategic approach to

budgeting in the Police Department.

Calls for Service

Calls for service include self‐initiated activity by police officers as well as calls from our community. The

calls from the community continue to increase consistent with population growth. The officer self‐

initiated activity conversely decreases as officers are engaged in providing direct service to a resident.

Another impact involves staffing levels. With the loss of six police officers in 2016 our patrol miles, self‐

initiated activity and traffic citations all decreased. Arrests increased 21% over 2015. Traffic citations

and warnings decreased by 2,686 from 2015 but it is noteworthy that our agency continues to issue

citations at a 1:5 ratio or, in only 22% of all traffic stops. Traffic accidents decreased from 1481 in 2015

to 1441 in 2016, attributable partly to a very moderate winter season with little snow or ice.

2016 Calls for Service by Month


Operations Division

The Operations Division under the command of Captain Makai

Echer, has 47 sworn positions and 3 Community Service Officers.

The primary responsibility of the Operations Division includes

patrol function and responding to calls for service. This Division

responded to 35,620 calls in 2016.

The reduction in miles logged by patrol is related to staffing levels

as well as calls for service. Calls for service from residents directs

officer activity to an event and reduces mileage associated with

routine patrol activities.

Fuel consumption is directly impacted by mileage and market

prices. Fuel costs were estimated at $130,000 in the 2016

budget however, actual cost was $63,970. The actual fuel cost

in 2014 was $113,063 for example.

The patrol fleet is exclusively Ford pursuit rated vehicles which

include both SUVs and sedans. Fleet vehicles are purchased

through the State of Iowa bid pricing and average $25,000 while

equipment costs add another $25,000 to every vehicle.

Support Services Division The Support Services Division consists of 14 full‐time employees and 2 part‐time employees. This Division

is responsible for the Crossing Guard program consisting of 16 crossing guards assisting elementary

school children crossing streets at 14 locations in our City. The primary function in this Division is

investigations provided by 8 full‐time detectives under direct supervision of Lt. Brian Huggins. An

important function of Support Services includes the Records Section that manages nearly 6,000 visitors

to our building seeking a variety of services. The Records Section routinely processes requests for reports

in addition to entering 5,852 cases into our data base in 2016.

Lobby hours for the police department are M‐F 8am to 5pm and weekends

from 9am to 3pm. Beyond managing record processing these employees

greet visitors and triage requests for service. Most walk‐in traffic consists

of persons filing criminal reports or seeking direction to

curb potential criminal violations. Our agency continues to

answer phone calls from our residents in order to provide a

personal touch to our service.

Detectives are available 24 hours daily and remain on call and available to provide service to the community. Detectives often partner with our Evidence Technician processing crime scenes. With 1,000 cases assigned to the Detective Section, each detective will carry a caseload of nearly 150 cases ranging from property crimes to crimes against persons. Drug and narcotic cases are exclusively assigned to a narcotics detective and his caseload is independent of property crimes and crimes against persons. Crimes against persons are often prioritized, particularly crimes against children. Suspended cases are those cases in which all leads have been exhausted and the case remains inactive until a new lead surfaces.

Canine Program

Officer Bret Lappin is the handler for our canine, Bosco. Bosco performed his

full first year on the job in 2016. Bosco is trained as a drug detection dog and

has been cross‐trained as a scent detection or tracking dog. The K9 Program

is administered by Lt. Ben Bowersox who is tasked with performance

measures and specialized assignments.

Bosco receives monthly training in narcotics detection, evidence recovery and

tracking. All training hours are recorded and memorialized to establish the

expertise of the canine in court proceedings.

During searches in 2016 Bosco located cocaine, marijuana and

methamphetamine in his drug cases. Additionally, Bosco located cash

associated with criminal acts on four separate cases.

2016 CASH VALUE WEIGHT

Cocaine $800 10.00 grams

Marijuana $5,280 202.5 grams

Methamphetamine $17,480 218.5 grams

Cash $201,848

Throughout the year in 2016 Officer Lappin spent time training our officers about Bosco’s personality

and his skills in order to more effectively use the talents of this new member. The K9 handler plays a key

role in ongoing training and care for the dog. Bosco returns home nightly with Officer Lappin where he

lives with the officer. Because of the popularity of Bosco, the Ankeny Police Department produced a

baseball card depicting Bosco and his handler. We distributed over 1,000 baseball cards to children in

2016. Bosco has an account on Instagram and can be followed by locating him at bosco_k9.


Accidents and Crime Trends by Neighborhood

Beginning on January 1, 2016 we transitioned to four (4) beat areas

rather than six (6) beat areas. The transition better aligned with GIS

software and data mining but otherwise has no impact upon service

delivery. The beats are consistent with the geographic sections of

the city making it easier to extract data by the NE, SE, NW and SW

designators. Data accuracy is also improved, particularly on

boundary roads that split the geographic areas.

Beat 04 can be expected to reflect the most thefts and vehicle

accidents. This beat includes a heavy retail and commercial area of

the city. Traffic is also heaviest in this same area.

Vehicle burglaries are distributed equally among all four beats

because these crimes involve entry into parked cars, mostly

unlocked, in all areas of the city. Assaults are often associated with domestic violence calls creating the

equal distribution in the city.

These graphics are intended to provide a quick snapshot of occurrences in four areas of our city. Many of the

listed property crimes are crimes of opportunity.

2016 Incident Reports

There was an increase of 164 crime reports taken in 2016 over the prior year. In addition there were 188

more arrests in 2016 over 2015. The data suggests that the calls for service shifted from officer initiated

activity to customer‐based requests. In this report we have identified new incidents of interest and

tracking. New categories include OWI, Narcotics Violations and Disturbing the Peace and Quiet

categories. Most drug paraphernalia cases are handled by the Patrol Division. Narcotics cases are

assigned to a narcotics officer assigned to the Mid‐Iowa Narcotics Enforcement team.

The decrease in calls for service is directly attributable to staffing levels and the ability for police officers

to initiate activity on their own. A decrease in self‐initiated activity can be seen in fewer traffic

enforcement events and less mileage logged by patrol officers. Additional crime reports suggests a

stronger workload for Support Services and detectives.

Statistically we capture 15‐18% of all calls for service in crime reports. The remainder of those calls for

service are handled by patrol officers who resolve complaints on site or use their problem‐solving

abilities to restore calm. Nearly 10,000 calls for service involved traffic warnings, traffic citations or traffic

accidents. An additional 2,000 calls for service are associated with quality of life issues such as noise or

animal complaints.

Uniform Crime Reports Statistics (UCR)

The Uniform Crime Report statistically captures nine categories of crime in our country from each law

enforcement agency. We have intentionally omitted the crimes of kidnapping and homicide in this

report because these crimes were unreported in 2016. The UCR report works to standardize similar

crimes on a national level. The challenge for UCR is that crimes have varying reporting levels or degrees

such as a simple assault or aggravated assault. Iowa has multiple degrees of theft based upon the value.

In standardizing the crimes, UCR data can include or exclude events that our agency is required to

capture and investigate. The reported statistics to UCR are accurate as based upon UCR standardization.

Training

As a growth agency, the bulk of our training dollar is spent on sending recruits to the Iowa Law

Enforcement Academy. The cost of basic training at the academy is $9,000 per student. The course

curriculum in the basic training program is statutorily required. In addition to the basic training we

extend additional certifications to new officers including training in the use of radar as well as electronic

control weapons.

The training budget for the Department totals $56,000 and that budget is apportioned by Division. The

Patrol Division hosts nearly $50,000 of the training budget but they also absorb costs associated with

the basic training academy.

In addition to the general fund budget of $56,000, the Police Department spent $8,000 in asset forfeiture

funds to send two administrators to Northwestern University School of Police Staff & Command. Lt. Ben

Bowersox and Lt. Brian Kroska both completed their work in 2016 with honors from Northwestern

University. They join Captain Joe Schaffer and Captain Makai Echer as graduates of Northwestern

University School of Police Staff & Command.

The balance of the budget is designated to maintain certifications and required training. Training needs

have expanded to meet the growing social aspect of work including crisis intervention training and

handling of opioid cases. Tourniquet training was added to our first responder training in 2016 to better

prepare for mass casualty events. The training needs evolve and the budget is adjusted to keep pace

with societal changes.

Crossing Guards

The Ankeny Police Department administratively runs the crossing guard

program. The guards are hired by the city and their salary and benefits are

based upon city government employment. The program costs are shared

equally by the City and School District. The program costs $87,922 in 2016.

Crossing guards are paid $13.75 for each shift, including school arrival and

departure shifts. The program is structured around the safe movement of

elementary school children generally up to the fifth grade. Crossing

guards do not direct or regulate traffic but, instead identify safe traffic

gaps in which to assist children across a street. The Crossing Guard

Program remains under the direction and supervision of our Records

Section Supervisor, Keith Moeller.

Animal Control

Animal control in our city involves a partnership with the Animal Rescue League. Cats and dogs that

cannot be reunited with an owner are transported to the Animal Rescue League where they are legally

required to be kenneled for a period of 7 days unless claimed earlier by an owner. The Animal Rescue

League in turn charges the city $125 for each animal kenneled and unclaimed. The budget expenditures

are relatively stable with the following actual program costs; 2014=$10,840, 2015=$12,239 and

2016=$11,004. Our calls for service related to animal control are stable as well with 1,545 calls in 2014,

1,521 calls in 2015 and, 1,409 calls in 2016. Pets reclaimed by the owner at the ARL are billed to the

owner, not the city. Animal bite cases declined to 40 cases in 2016 from 47 cases in 2015.
