Neighborhood Beat Expansion Report

CITY OF RALEIGH NORTH CAROLINA INTER-OFFICE CORRESPONDENCE TO: J. Russell Allen FROM: Chief Harry P. Dolan

DATE: 10/15/09

SUBJECT: RPD Neighborhood Beat Expansion and Police District Realignment Plan MESSAGE: The Raleigh Police Department is embarking upon very challenging and exciting times as it prepares for the Clarence E. Lightner Public Safety Center and plans for the associated interim moves necessary to make construction possible. Next month the RPD will open a new Interim Downtown Police District Station on Cabarrus Street and in January we will begin moving police administration operations into the recently acquired office building on Six Forks Road. In order to effectively respond to our growing city’s police service demands, we have developed a plan that expands the number of neighborhood police beats serving our community, and realigns our existing police district boundaries to enhance overall operational efficiency. Our ability to fill vacant police officer positions combined with the RPD’s commitment to prioritize field police staffing to meet unique neighborhood needs, provides us with an opportunity to expand the number of neighborhood police beats from 56 to 62. thus we will achieve a two-year combined total enhancement of 13 additional neighborhood beats under the plan. The current police district alignment model, established in 2002, served to significantly improve our ability to provide police service throughout the city. Today we find it vital to evaluate district boundaries in view of both our present and future police service deployment requirements. To that end, this past summer Captain N.D. Grodi and a team of rank-and-file department members embarked upon studying present and future deployment needs in consideration of the city’s new comprehensive plan, call data, growth patterns, response times, and numerous other factors to prepare a police district realignment proposal that addresses current growth and service needs. Captain Grodi was joined by Captain C. Bertram, Captain J.C. Perry, Lieutenant A.B. Lull, Lieutenant D.W. Linthicum, Sergeant K.S. Anderson, Sergeant M.L. Peterson, Sergeant D.G. Bean, Sergeant S.C Oosterhoudt, Sergeant A.H O’Connell, Sergeant T.S. Jordan, April Morris, Brent Quick and Stacey Joyner. Captain Grodi’s team’s proposal, supported by command staff and district commanders, relocates the North Police District to the interim police administration building on Six Forks Road, thereby locating the North District optimally within the middle of the revised district boundaries. Correspondingly, the Northeast District is realigned to more effectively incorporate that region of the city, .\and the Northeast District’s operations staff is moved from its present

location on Atlantic Avenue to the vacated North District facility on Litchford Road. Both relocations will provide strategically beneficial location for an interim period of time. As we begin work next year on selecting permanent district station locations, it will eventually be advisable to locate the Northeast District Station House further east. The Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest districts are adjusted to a less significant extent than the changes to the North and Northeast districts. However, the Northwest, Southeast and Southwest districts’ patrol areas benefit from the additional neighborhood beats proposed citywide. Finally, the Downtown District expands its territory by one beat, while the Business District remains intact and services are expanded to address increasing downtown and residential and business growth. Illustrative information concerning all of the above can be found in Attachment A: RPD Current Police District Map, Attachment B; RPD 2010 Police District Map, Attachment C: RPD Neighborhood Police Beat Map, and Attachment D: RPD 2010 Field Operations Organizational Chart.

Presently the department is finalizing the action steps necessary to implement the RPD Neighborhood Beat Expansion and Police District Realignment Plan consistent with our scheduled interim moves and RPD 2009-2014 Strategic Plan. I remain grateful for your support of our efforts directed toward meeting our citizens’ high expectations and will continue to keep you informed regarding our progress.
