WA 98225 -407e � DAN FITZGERALD CHIEF OF CORRECTIONS TO: Pete Kremen, County Executive FROM: Deane Sandell, Undersheriff Date: January 26, 2001 Subject: Cops More 2000 Award We have been awarded a COPS More Grant for the funding of a crime analyst. The grant is a direct result of our efforts to seek additional funding sources for law enforcement employees. These actions to seek additional funding were recommended and encouraged by the County Executive and County Council. The maximum grant amount is for $25,000.00. A crime analyst is a civilian employee would performs research and analysis in order to develop strategies to deal with the growing crime problem in Whatcom County. Additionally, we would focus our efforts in high crime areas that have been identified by the crime analyst such as the eastern regions of Whatcom County. Problem areas such as the Paradise area would benefit from the additional analysis and preventative measures that could be applied. This position would complete tasks such as statistical analysis, briefings on crimes and locations, patrol scheduling as it regards to areas experiencing crime, and other related duties. Currently, no formal crime analysis is being done in the Sheriffs Office due to staffing restrictions. We now respond to crime on a completely reactive basis, with no method of identifying trends other than by the sheer quantity of crimes in a specific area. A crime analyst person would enable the Sheriffs Office to focus more on areas of higher crime and also to focus on specific types of crime, which we currently cannot do. This focused and guided approach can stop a crime trend sooner and can lead to decreases in crimes in many neighborhoods. This position is included in the East County proposal to the Law & Justice Committee titled as Establishing Sheriffs District Satellite Offices. The position would commence in July of 2001, which would negate the need for additional funding from law and justice for the year of 2001. Additional funds would be required from law and justice funds for the position in 2002 if the grant were to be awarded for a second period. There is a strong likelihood that the grant will be offered again in 2002.
