2016 Annual Report

Mansfield Police Department


Tracy Aaron Chief of Police On behalf of the men and women of the Mansfield Police Department, and in recognition of our Military, their families and our active and non-active employees who serve, it gives me great pleasure to present the 2016 Mansfield Police Department Annual Report. It has certainly been an exciting year at the Mansfield Police Department. We have accomplished many goals and set even higher expectations for our future. It is an incredible honor to serve the city of Mansfield as the Police Chief of such an amazing Department. We owe our success to the dedicated members of our department, our volunteers and the unbelievable support we get from our community. We are truly blessed to have not only these great individuals that work with us, but also a community that rallies around us and lets us know we are appreciated. We also owe a debt of gratitude to our city council and management team who ensure that we have outstanding training and equipment to serve our citizens with the professionalism they deserve. “The Mansfield Police Department mission is to provide the highest level of service, in partnership with the community, to foster a safe atmosphere promoting the highest quality of life for all people.”

One of the most notable accomplishments since our last annual report was receiving “recognized status” from the Texas Police Chief’s Association in their Best Practices Recognition Program. This program sets over 166 standards deemed appropriate by law enforcement professionals from across the state of Texas as meeting the best practices within the industry. If not already in place, these standards are fully implemented by the agency and inspected by a recognition team that completes on-site compliance review to ensure they are properly instituted within the agency. The Texas Police Chief’s Association Recognition Program is widely regarded as the “gold standard” of professional police agencies in the state and we are certainly proud to have been honored by this recognition. We look forward to many years to come working in partnership with the Texas Police Chief’s Association and always staying at the cutting edge of accepted practices within the profession. As mentioned in our Mission Statement, we take our partnership with the community very seriously. We know the trust our citizens have placed in the department and work every day to ensure that we maintain an organization that they can be proud to call their own. We continue to look for innovative ways to engage the public and allow them access to better understand what we do, how they can help us do our job better, and how we can serve them more efficiently. For the first time this year, we have commenced to hold multiple citizen police academies that allow for better understanding of the police function in the community. We have also participated in community events such as “Coffee With a Cops” as well as holding an open house event where citizens got to see our multiple divisions and see some of the tools we use to do our job. I hope that you find the Annual Report interesting and informative. I sincerely hope that you will be as proud of your police department’s accomplishments this year as I am. Thank you for taking the time to show your support and interest in our department.

Unmanned Aircraft Unit (SUAS-Small Unmanned Aircraft System) The Mansfield Police Department SUAS Unit was established in May 2016. Starting the program was a detailed process, beginning with the implementation of a strict department policy. Next was the selection of Officer /Pilot Barry Moore, a 23-year department veteran, who successfully completed the Cessna pilot school and SUAS pilot school. The SUAS program follows strict regulations from the FAA, including keeping flight logs and filing Notice To Airman (NOTAM) with the FAA before flights. The UAS Unit responds to many different types of calls including Prowlers, Missing Persons, Major Accident Investigations, Barricaded Person/Hostage Situations, Burglary Details and High Water Rescues. The UAS Unit is called upon to assist Incident Commanders at the scene of Critical Incidents by providing real-time aerial views of the active police scenes allowing them to make assessments of the area and deploy personnel to the most strategic position. The UAS Unit currently operates the DJI Inspire One aircraft. It has the ability to carry a payload of up to 7 pounds. This payload capacity allows the unit to assist in a variety of situations to include airdrops of life jackets to victims stranded in high water situations. This unit’s primary mission is to enhance officer safety by providing aerial support in a wide variety of situations, however, each day brings a new opportunity to find new and better ways to utilize the SUAS while providing safety to officers on the street and our citizens alike.

Training Advisory Board •

• •

•

The Mansfield Police Department is contracted with the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) as a Training Provider. A Training Provider is defined as a governmental body, law enforcement association, alternative delivery trainer, or proprietary entity credentialed by or authorized under a training provider contract with the commission to provide preparatory or continuing training for licensees or potential licensees. This contract allows the Mansfield Police Department to sponsor training approved by TCOLE and provide the licensing hours needed by police officers and telecommunicators to meet TCOLE licensing requirements. As a Training Provider, the Mansfield Police Department is required to establish a Training Advisory Board. The duty of the Training Advisory Board is to understand the department’s training initiatives and programs and to make recommendations to the Chief of Police and Training Coordinator regarding current, up-to-date professional training for the police officers and telecommunicators employed by the Mansfield Police Department. The Training Advisory Board meets the “Best Practice” recommendations established by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement by meeting twice each calendar year.

Community Resource Division

In 1998 the Mansfield Police Department's first citizen's police academy graduated. The curriculum and teaching methods are similar to the traditional police academy, but these students are not police candidates. The class members include a wide cross section of the community's population, i.e., homemakers, professional businesspersons, retirees, and neighborhood watch members. There have been 22 classes graduate since inception.

The Mansfield Police Department Community Resource Division is dedicated to offering services to the Senior Citizens of our city at no cost. We have developed services for the Seniors of our community that will make their lives safer, and more enriched as they participate in our Senior Safety programs. We currently have 214 Registered Seniors.

Senior Wellness Volunteer Zeno Pfau was recognized by Mrs. Greg Abbott, wife and first lady of the Governor of the State of Texas for the Senior Wellness Program.
