Chief's Message
I am pleased to present our citizens with our 2020 Annual Report. This is a culmination of the hard work and determination of the men and women that make up the Mansfield Police Department. Inside this report, you will find stories of compassion and service, along with what we were able to accomplish together as a police department and community. Officers regularly respond to calls for service while proactively patrolling our city. They take reports, help victims, and enforce traffic laws. Officers also take the time to get to know our residents and young people. Our Mansfield P.D. team works day and night to ensure our city is one of the safest cities in America. People have a right to feel safe and secure in their homes, at their places of business, and while driving on our roadways. We enjoy a great deal of support from our elected officials, City Manager 's Office, and our community. We could not do it alone. Public safety requires everyone working together and partnering in a way where we look out for one another. I hope you take the time to look through this comprehensive report that contains what we were able to accomplish with your investment. If our team can ever be of assistance to you, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Mansfield. They also compete in competitions throughout the year in Texas.
Nat ion al Nigh t Ou t Our biggest party of the year was a huge success, even though it was scaled down due to health and safety restrictions. Du r in g Nat ion al Nigh t Ou t , we connected with over five neighborhood block parties and attended a community sponsored event at The Lot Downtown, which featured entertainment, booths, food, and family fun.
Toy an d Food Dr ive In mid-November, our An n u al Toy an d Food Dr ive was in full swing until the second week of December. Animal Care and Control partnered with us at our donation sites in front of Walmart and Target. Our community generously donated toys, canned food and animal products. Over the Thanksgiving holiday, we assisted Harvesting in Mansfield in distributing over 2,000 meals and helped feed over 500 families for Christmas. More than 250 families received toys and presents to make the holidays enjoyable for their children. We also presented the Mansfield Mission Center with a generous cash donation from all of our efforts.
Cr im e Fr ee M u lt i-h ou sin g The M an sf ield Cr im e Fr ee M u lt i-Hou sin g Pr ogr am was designed to help residents, owners and the managers of rental property keep drugs and other illegal activity off their property. This program is simple and based upon partnerships to make Mansfield better. It is designed to be easy, yet very effective in reducing the incident of crime on a rental property.
Sen ior s Pr ogr am Zeno Pfau and Bill Quick, two of our volunteers, manage our Sen ior Cit izen Pr ogr am for residents who are 65-plus. This program began in November 2014 and focuses on their well-being and welfare. We currently have 255 seniors enrolled in the program. Zeno and Bill contact the seniors monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly by phone, text or email to ensure that they are okay. They also answer questions and address other concerns.

Training M an sf ield Police Depar t m en t prides itself on the extensive training program, which requires each officer to complete the minimum amount of hours governed by the state, the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, as well as exceeding hours in the areas of firearms training, police-based classes, de-escalation training, and physical fitness standards. Each month, officers are scheduled for a variety of drills on the firing range to help ensure their skills remain consistent. Officers also have to complete the physical fitness evaluation twice a year. The department has an interactive training simulator to assist with active shooter training and other critical incidents.

Recruitment The M an sf ield Police Depar t m en t finds top quality applicants to become a part of our family. Every January, the department hosts a large-scale recruiting event where qualified candidates take a written examination along with a physical fitness test. Applicants who pass the written and physical assessment, are invited to proceed in the hiring process. This includes an extensive background investigation, polygraph, medical, and psychological examination. In 2020, the department hired eight police officers and four dispatchers.
Jail
In June, the M an sf ield Cit y Cou n cil provided direction on the Law En f or cem en t Cen t er 's business plan. The change to jail operations altered the level of inmates housed by our department. Prior to the change, the federal contract averaged 250 inmates a day, while post-change includes averaging seven inmates a day. The department had to downsize staffing from 70 full-time personnel to 10 full-time correction officers and one part-time correction officer. The Jail provides services to Mansfield, Kennedale, Burleson, Mansfield Independent School District and Mansfield Methodist Hospital.

Partnering with the Humane Society of North Texas
An im al Car e an d Con t r ol enjoys a great working relationship with the Hu m an e Societ y of Nor t h Texas. In 2020, they started a new program called "Let Fur Fly," which allows adoptable animals from Texas to be flown to various cities and states to be placed for adoption. In most cases, the animals are already claimed for adoption with families. Some states have more stringent animal laws resulting in less animals available for adoptions. This affords Mansfield an opportunity to provide animals for other parts of the country that have less to choose from. During 2020, Mansfield transferred 98 animals to the Humane Society of North Texas for both their "Let Fur Fly" transports as well as their large annual adoption, Mega Adoption Event. This event was a huge success and placed 620 animals in homes last year. These programs free up additional space in the animal shelter. They also afford more opportunities for animals in need of a safe and secure permanent home.

Tri-County Auto Burglary & Theft Prevention The M an sf ield Police Depar t m en t has joined other departments in Burleson, Kennedale, and Midlothian as well as Tarrant County Constable Precinct 7 to target auto burglaries and auto thefts with the formation of the Tr i-Cou n t y Au t o Bu r glar y an d Th ef t Pr even t ion Task For ce. The focus of the multi-agency task force is to reduce auto burglaries and auto thefts through enforcement and public education. Auto burglaries and thefts take a negative toll on all residents through higher insurance premiums. In order to reduce auto thefts and burglaries, investigators focus on prolific offenders. In October, Captain Stan Davis retired after serving as Commander for the Auto Theft Task Force. The Task Force is now led by Lieutenant Jim Harrell who oversees the day-to-day operations of the unit activities.

NIBRS Crime Stats Nat ional Incident Rep or t ing System s - Par t 1 Cr im e In 2019, the M an sf ield Police Depar t m en t switched from a summary-based crime reporting system to the FBI's Nat ion al In ciden t Based Repor t in g Syst em (NIBRS). This system is an incident-based reporting system for crimes known to the police. For each crime incident coming to the attention of law enforcement, a variety of data are collected about the incident. These data include the nature and types of specific offenses in the incident, characteristics of the victim(s) and offender(s), types and value of property stolen and recovered, and characteristics of persons arrested in connection with a crime incident. Incident based data provide an extremely large amount of information about crime. The information is also organized in complex ways, reflecting the many different aspects of a crime incident.

Recognition The M an sf ield Police Depar t m en t was recognized on Monday, November 23, 2020 by the Texas Police Chiefs Association (TPCA) as a Recogn ized Law En f or cem en t Agen cy. The TPCA Recognition Program evaluates law enforcement agencies? compliance with 166 best business practices that cover an array of topic areas relevant to policing. These Best Practice standards were developed to assist police departments with the efficient and effective delivery of service while upholding the rights of all citizens. Areas of evaluation include use of force, protection of civil rights, pursuit management, property and evidence standards, and patrol and investigative protocols, to name a few.
The M an sf ield Police Depar t m en t received their initial recognition by the TPCA in October 2016. Current program requirements mandate that agencies undergo an on-site inspection every four years to ensure continued compliance with Best Practice standards. On October 16, 2016, the department received the prestigious designation as a ?Recognized Law Enforcement Agency,? one of only 170 police agencies in the state out of over 2,000 to receive this honor.
Advisory Board
The M an sf ield Police Depar t m en t is authorized by the Texas Com m ission on Law En f or cem en t (TCOLE) as a Training Provider.

The M an sf ield Police Depar t m en t is required to establish a Training Advisory Board. The duty of the Training Advisory Board is to evaluate the department?s training initiatives and programs and to make recommendations to the Chief of Police and Training Coordinator regarding contemporary training for police officers and dispatchers. The Training Advisory Board meets the ?Best Practice? recommendations established by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement and serves as a Chiefs Advisory Board. The Advisory Board is made up of citizens appointed by the Chief of Police who come from a variety of backgrounds. Members of the Board Include: Dr. Jacquelyn Minor (Chairperson), Mayor Dr. Michael Evans, Alma Pressley, Dr. Kimberley Cantu, Dr. Thomas Petrowski, Jeremy McJimson, Dr. Joe Adams, and Michael Piece.

Unmanned Aircraft Unit oper at ions Bur eau
Sm all Unm anned Aircraft System (SUAS) The Sm all Un m an n ed Air cr af t Syst em (SUAS) was established in May 2016. The unit is currently made up of two pilots who have undergone extensive training in order to obtain Remote Pilot Certificates through passing the FAA's Aeronautical Knowledge Test. The SUAS program follows strict regulations from the FAA, which includes keeping flight logs and filing Notice to Airman (NOTAM) with the FAA before flights. The SUAS Un it responds to many different types of calls including prowlers, missing persons, major crashes, barricaded person calls, hostage situations, burglary in progress calls, and swift water rescues.
Mobile Field Force The M an sf ield Police Depar t m en t M obile Field For ce was established in 2015. The goal is to provide protection to the citizens of Mansfield and to the loss of property due to damage or destruction and to quell large-scale civil disturbances or riots. To this day, the M obile Field For ce has not been deployed for any disturbances within the City of Mansfield. The team is made up of a Commander and two Platoons.

Communications Center oper at ions Bur eau
Over view The Com m u n icat ion s Division manages a 24-hour 9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and serves the cities of Mansfield and Kennedale. The total service area encompasses approximately 45 square miles. The Communications Center handles calls for service and dispatches employees for police and fire departments in each city. This includes emergency calls, non-emergency calls and administrative phone calls. The unit also ensures every call is routed to the appropriate service agency for response. The division is responsible for fielding requests for service or assistance from other agencies, maintaining data entries into the Texas Crime Information Center (TCIC)/ National Crime Information Center (NCIC), and relaying information to field personnel. Our Dispatch Center implemented the Em er gen cy M edical Dispat ch in g (EMD) protocols with callers and patients in October 2017. Since that time, Dispatchers have taken over 16,000 medical and injured person calls where they were able to provide pre-arrival instructions from CPR, to blood control, to delivering a baby, to basic patient care before medical assistance arrived. Through the efforts of the dispatchers and their EM D training, there have been four Life-Saving Awards and two Stork Awards presented to Dispatchers. Through the use of the EM D program, dispatchers were able to classify over 2,600 medical and injured person calls to a priority 3, which resulted in an ambulance only response without lights and sirens. The proper classification of a call to a priority 3 level recommending an ambulance only without lights and sirens reduced the safety risks to our first responders and the community as well as provides cost savings on the overuse of our fire apparatus. Without a doubt, the EM D program has demonstrated success in saving lives and reducing safety risks for our first responders. 29
