WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE

2013 ANNUAL REPORT

Presented to County Board APRIL 15, 2014

Dedicated to Serve

DALE K. SCHMIDT SHERIFF

http://www.washingtoncountysheriffwi.org/ County Board and Citizens of Washington County P a g e | 1

To the County Board and Citizens of Washington County,

Following is a comprehensive report on Sheriff’s Office activities for 2013. The daily workload for Deputies and Corrections and Communications Officers continues to be driven by the abuse of and/or addiction to drugs and alcohol, and subjects exhibiting various levels of mental illness requiring law enforcement intervention. Incidents involving people in these categories remain high for both Operations and Corrections.

In Jail Operations, the most notably change from 2012 was the 6.5% rise in average daily population. Nine months during the year were at or above 250 total inmates. The October average was highest with 290. The total beds at that time was 311.

In Patrol Operations, the overall number of incidents increased slightly to 38,631, a 0.84% increase. This includes a new initiative for Deputies to routinely visit elementary schools which resulted in over 900 visits. Accident investigations decreased 2.2%. The Sheriff’s Office continues to serve all citizens in Washington County.

The 2013 budget year ended with a net surplus of $324,727 in the operating budget. This amount includes unspent expense accounts, salary and benefit accounts. The final 2013 levy cost was $14,911,907. Additionally, $274,127 was returned to the General Fund from the Tower Revenue account. More details are available in the Budget Summary section.

Although workload increased for staff across the department, many positive things were accomplished by them in 2013. Individual effort by staff members is the difference between an average department and one that is something more. Staff members who received formal written recognition from Sheriff Schmidt for their work performance in 2013 are the following:

2013 Annual Report - Administration

2013 OFFICE GOAL RESULT - CAPITAL PLAN

COUNTYWIDE RADIO SYSTEM

In January of 2013, the County Board Radio Committee voted to put out a Request for Proposals to hire a consultant to study the current radio system and its operations and make recommendations for improvements.

TUSA Consulting Services, LLC was selected to conduct the study and presented their final report on February 26, 2014.

2013 OFFICE GOAL RESULT - INTERNAL OPERATIONS

JAIL POPULATION

During 2012, the adult Jail population reached into the 260’s at times and finished the year with an average daily population of 245. Consistent daily populations in the 260’s and 270’s will require more staff and eventually boarding of inmates in other jails. A goal during 2013 was to identify unnecessary jail bed days and implement methods to reduce them.

During 2013, the Sheriff and Jail Administrator reviewed the processes involved with inmate incarceration. Several areas of potential reductions in unnecessary jail bed days were identified. Meetings were held with DOC Community Supervision Agents, Circuit Court Judges, the District Attorney and the Municipal Court Judge and Clerk to discuss processes or changes that could eliminate bed days. Through this process, Municipal Court has greatly reduced indigent inmates. Circuit Court Judges are considering more stayed sentences rather than withheld sentences; and DOC has agreed to alternative housing for Sanctions inmates if necessary.

The cooperation received by the Sheriff’s Office from the identified entities will ensure that unnecessary jail bed days are as few as possible.

WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT

This is the start of our fourth year for our website. We continue to promote safety articles twice a week on the website to educate the public on topics ranging from home and personal safety to pets, Internet fraud and weather safety tips. The subscriber-only E-Bulletin started in late 2011 has increased to 323 subscribers and covered 12 different bulletins.

We sent 1,321 Twitter messages about bad weather, accidents, jail and sheriff statistics, safety information and more for 2013. We went from 595 followers in 2012 to 953 at the end of 2013.

These entries into Social Networking have assisted the public in ways to keep safe, and specifically giving them another avenue of communication with the Sheriff’s Office. We continued to post information about Sheriff Sales and Civil Process information. The Sheriff Sales page continues to be in the top 5 pages viewed in the website, with over 8,077 views for 2013. The Home landing page received over 56,200 views in 2013. 3

2013 Annual Report – Corrections CORRECTIONS

During 2013 the Washington County Jail saw a 1.3% decrease in total adult bookings, but the average daily population increased by 6.5% from 2013 records. The prior increases were 2011- 2012 - 5% increase and 2010-2011 - 4.5% increase in daily populations. Probation or Parole holds for Department of Corrections and cash bonds awarded due to more serious crimes involving heroin and alcohol use provide for the higher daily population numbers. The increased population results in additional responsibilities for Corrections staff, as well as expenses to maintain the standards set forth by Department of Corrections Administrative Rules. Mental health and medical needs continue to be a priority along with a growing battle with inmates attempting to conceal contraband. The Washington County Jail continues to attempt to balance the essential needs of the inmates with the ability to provide programming that assists inmates for their return to the community. In 2013 we have dealt with a number of inmates that required maximum security supervision based on their crimes and behavioral history at the Jail. This increases already stringent security concerns and adds greatly to staff workloads.

One of the biggest challenges in 2013 was the conversion to a new records management system, Pro Phoenix, and the training for all employees to document more detailed information on the Jail population and events that can produce more detailed reports. The new program has assisted with providing more electronic records for our division and appears to be greatly improving documentation abilities. This essentially results in more time spent on the computer systems to record information accurately, which in turn produces an increase in time management towards completing all responsibilities involved in maintaining the Jail.

The other more immediate challenge in 2013 continued to be the Jail population’s involvement in prescription drug abuse, alcohol and heroin. We are currently averaging about 50 bookings a month that have used heroin or report using it in the past. The number of heroin withdrawals occurring in the Jail continues to take more Nursing and Officer’s time to monitor and care for the inmates physical needs. Along with the misuse of substances, the increase in attempting to conceal contraband is a daily occurrence within the Jail. Frequent cell checks, monitoring of inmate activities and allowable “strip searches” are just a portion of the duties that the Officers must include in their daily assignments.

The Washington County Jail continues to provide excellent services with a professional and dedicated group of employees that take pride in their careers and attempt to make some impact on a population with a wide variety of needs. Public safety and accountability are the continuing goals for the Corrections division as we network with a number of resources within the community.

INMATE EDUCATION

The Washington County Jail continued its partnership with Moraine Park Technical College in 2013, providing education for inmates seeking their GED/HSED, (alternative degrees to a high school diploma), or personal educational enrichment. In January 2014, the GED testing process will change, so the emphasis for instruction in 2013 was to identify individuals who had started the GED testing process and work with them to complete their certification. In the last three months of 2013, 22 tests were administered to individuals in the jail with six inmates completing the series of tests and obtaining their GED certificate. (Several other individuals were released prior to completion of the testing process. They took the remaining tests at MPTC and obtained their certificate after starting the process in the jail.) 8

2013 Annual Report – Corrections

Moraine Park and the Washington County Jail plan to continue a transition program for inmates in 2014. This program works to encourage continued education after release from the jail by familiarizing the inmates with the campus.

COMMISSARY

Stellar Services continued as our commissary service for the inmate population in 2013. The purpose of the commissary is to provide the inmates the opportunity to purchase a number of personal hygiene products, not provided by the Jail, as well as food or snack items, and additional miscellaneous items approved for use in the Jail. Inmates are responsible for payment of their Jail fees prior to using their monies for commissary products. Indigent inmates are allowed to purchase a personal hygiene pack that is billed against their account and collected whenever funds are received to the individuals’ account.

Stellar Services provides the computer equipment and software necessary to operate an Accounting system program used by our Account Clerks with additional hardware, made available to the Huber inmates, to keep track of their accounts. They also provide a Kiosk for the public to place monies into the inmate’s account 24/7, which is set up in the Jail lobby. Additional equipment provided by Stellar Services allows Booking Officers to secure monies of inmates booked into the Jail directly into the “Money Manager”, which in turn credits the inmates account once the booking is completed. Stellar Services also provides a phone-it-in package, which utilizes the inmate phone system for those that don’t have access to the kiosk to place orders and keep track of their account. This saves time for the account clerk when questions arise referencing balances, charges and commissary orders.

Stellar Services also integrates with our current records management software and ICS, the inmate phone provider. This provides the inmate population with a paperless, easy way to order phone time and commissary. The commissary sales for 2013 were $70,924. This money is used for the purchase of supplies and equipment that are used directly by the inmate population such as mattresses, urine test cups, various clothing and bedding items, replacement TV’s, and some programming costs.

In 2013 the collection of fees after release continued with the use of TIP (Tax Intercept Program) and a collection agency, PPS, LLC (Professional Payment Services, LLC). When an inmate is released they are either given or mailed a statement with a notification that they have a negative balance for services provided and they have 30 days to pay the outstanding debt or arrange a payment plan. The amount of money collected from the TRIPS program in 2013 was $3,072, monies collected from PPS, LLC was $1,318.

JAIL FOOD SERVICE

A‘viands Food Services and Management continued to provide services to the Washington County Jail throughout 2013. They are able to offer a professional food service staff that oversees and trains selected inmate workers in preparing meals at the Jail. Menus are planned according to contractual food service requirements. The Standardized Diet plans have been developed by Registered Dietitians to ensure adequate nutrition is being provided and that each individual inmate will be provided with a diet that meets their nutritional needs to promote general health and

2013 Annual Report – Corrections well-being. A four week cycle menu was developed to take into account nutritional requirement of the entire population; there are times when individuals exhibit intolerances to some food. Special Diets are used when individuals require therapeutic diets, religious diets and when holiday meals are served. When developing the menus, the Registered Dietitian takes into account that the meals should have a variety in texture, color, flavor, and appearance. A Registered Dietitian annually reviews the menus to ensure they’re reaching the caloric requirements set by the Client. A ‘viands Field Support Dietitian uses a Nutritional Software system to ensure that the menus are within required nutritional guidelines.

In 2013 the total contract cost was $402,616 resulting in an average cost per meal of $1.50 for the Adult population and $1.91 for Juveniles. A total of 255,367 meals were served in the adult facility and 9,499 in juvenile detention for a total of 264,866 meals.

Food Service Meals Served - Calendar Year 2013:

Adult Inmate Population Meals 255,367 Juvenile Population Meals 9,499 TOTAL MEALS SERVED 264,866

JAIL SECURITY CAMERAS

In 2013 the Jail continued their schedule for Camera replacements, relocations and additions for a cost of $27,468 out of Jail Assessment Funds to be used for new and replacement security cameras in the Jail. Twelve cameras were replaced in the Huber areas, kitchen and several hallways leading to inmate movement areas. Two cameras were relocated in the Juvenile and Special Management Pod, eight were purchased new to provide better coverage in areas that previously had not been recorded. The camera upgrades and additions are a continuing project to provide additional security and assist with investigative needs when incidents occur within the Jail.

ELECTRONIC MONITORING

The Electronic Monitoring Program continues to use monitoring equipment provided by 3M Electronic Monitoring. The Jail has access to multiple types of monitoring bracelets, ranging from 2 piece radio frequency bracelets to 1 piece bracelets utilizing cellular technology.

The Electronic Monitoring Program has now expanded the use of the MEMS3000 home alcohol testing unit. Multiple alcohol offenders that are approved for electronic monitoring are now required to be equipped with both the monitoring bracelet and the MEMS3000. The variety of available equipment allows the Jail to customize the level of supervision, based on the needs of each individual enrolled and on the Program. The Electronic Monitoring program acts as an alternative to physical confinement in the Jail, while still providing a structured and well monitored environment.

2013 Annual Report – Corrections

JUVENILE DETENTION

In 2013, Juvenile Detention recorded 491 bookings and 2364 days of billed detention. Washington County Juvenile Detention acts as a regional detention facility, housing juveniles from Kenosha, Ozaukee, Dodge, Waukesha and occasionally Jefferson Counties.

One of the most significant changes in Juvenile Detention was starting a summer school program provided by the West Bend School District that ran 6 weeks and the regular school year has been extended until the end of June. Juvenile Detention continues to offer other programming such as AODA counseling and, among other things, volunteer services through Youth and Family, Youth for Christ, and UW Extension. Also, having permanent officers assigned to Juvenile Detention has facilitated consistency, positive group and individual encounters with the youth and has been effective in allowing the officers to keep up with juvenile laws, procedures, and the proper handling of paperwork.

Aside from the duties related to Juvenile Detention, the Juvenile Detention Administrator continues to handle most departmental functions related to juvenile matters. This includes court appearances for juveniles in custody, maintaining juvenile files for law enforcement contacts with juveniles, coordinating training on juvenile matters for both correctional officers and patrol, planning and providing programming for detained juveniles, orientation for volunteers in the jail and juvenile detention, working with other county officials regarding placement issues for juveniles, and handling/approving discipline and conducting the due process hearings.

INMATE HEALTH

The Washington County inmate population continues to offer a number of challenges involving both physical and mental health needs. Our current medical staff includes two full time registered nurses and an additional position added in 2013 of a limited time registered nurse that provides up to 12 hours additional staffing during weekends or evening hours. Additional medical services include Doctors, Psychiatrist, Dental and other specialists located within the local medical community.

Huber inmates have the ability to meet with their own medical professionals within the rules set up for Huber release. Emergency services are also used in the absence of the medical staff hours at the Jail for specific events. The inmates are charged back for services on a co-pay system or debit to their accounts for full services based on the commitment status and extent of services. Medical care is based on emergency and priority needs and inmates are not denied treatment due to lack of financial resources. Medical and Corrections staff must make determination of the medical status of an inmate so all medical requests need to be reviewed and acknowledged in a timely manner.

2013 Annual Report – Corrections

In 2013 the Nurses addressed 5,157 sick call requests between the Adult and Juvenile populations. Referrals to Doctors, Specialists and Dentists totaled 244 contacts. There were 46 Emergency room transports made in 2013 and 10 subjects required continued hospitalization. The amount of inmates booked into the Jail reporting heroin use continues to climb averaging about 50 subjects per month. The issues with both heroin and alcohol withdrawals occurring within the Jail present added liabilities along with numerous staff time in providing care and supervision to each individual case.

The Mental Health referrals continue to be a big concern and responsibility within the Jail setting. Genesis Behavioral Services provides an onsite mental health therapist through funding by Human Services along with staff from ACS during after hour incidents. In 2013 several Jail supervisors worked with the Genesis Staff and ACS supervisors to develop a more reliable evaluation of mental health risks during the intake process. This evaluation was reviewed by the Mental Health professionals involved in the Jail services as well as the State DOC Detention Specialist that oversees the Jail and approved for use in 2014.

The statistics in 2013 for Mental Health services included 1,018 referrals within the Adult and Juvenile population of the Jail. The Psychiatrist assigned to the Jail met with inmates a total of 373 visits during that time frame, but due to limited hour’s available waiting lists of referrals continued to be a concern throughout the year. Education for the Jail staff in handling prisoners with mental health needs, suicide prevention and recognizing and addressing substance abuse continues to be a priority in providing a safe environment for everyone within the facility.

2013 Annual Report – Corrections

STAFF TRAINING

The Corrections Officers are required to recertify annually with a minimum of 24 hours of training relevant to Jail operations. In 2013 training topics included:

Non-Custody Staff Training Basic Time Recertification MDT Recertification Medical In-Service Suicide Prevention Crisis Intervention Principles of Subject Control CPR/First Aid Juvenile Update Professional Communication Skills Gang Training

A Corrections Officer’s main focus is to maintain safety and security within the Jail and its operations. To achieve these goals, Correctional Staff are trained extensively to become proficient in Professional Communication Skills (PCS), which is the key function that Officers need to develop in order to interact with inmates and the public in a professional manner. PCS is an integral part of Wisconsin’s Unified Tactical training program. This means that both Law Enforcement and Corrections training in Wisconsin is all based on certain common concepts and techniques. Corrections Officers use communication skills daily in performing their duties, whether they are supervising inmates or dealing with visitors or other professionals that may come into the Jail. Corrections Officers face many potential dangers on the job daily. PCS training that is provided gives officers the tools to alleviate or re-direct sudden verbal outbursts, complaints and non-compliancy from inmates. If voluntary compliance can be achieved through proper communication, the Jail becomes a safer environment for Officers, inmates, non-custody staff and many professional visitors that come into the facility daily.

Unfortunately, even the best efforts of the most skilled officer to gain voluntary compliance do not always work. Sometimes Officers have to use physical force to achieve control and accomplish legitimate correctional objectives. In Wisconsin, the training standard for such use of force in a correctional setting is Principles of Subject Control (POSC). POSC is a system of verbalization skills coupled with physical alternatives to maintain safety and security of the Jail. Training is provided in-house by Corrections Officers who are Law Enforcement Safety Board (LESB) certified. POSC teaches the theory of control in a correctional setting and provides practiced training in applying these controls as it applies to real incidents within the Corrections facility. The training provides the Officers with information that creates consistent responses and the skill needed to handle disturbances with minimal amount of liability to both the Officers and the inmates. The Washington County Corrections division continues to face challenges every day. By educating and updating the Officers in the newest technology, the Jail operation will run efficiently and safety and security is maintained.

Since the majority of the training is conducted at the Washington County Jail, there are many Officers who have had extensive training provided by the State of Wisconsin or other professional agencies. These Officers also attend various conferences and update training sessions which allows them to network with other instructors throughout the state.

Every year the Wisconsin Jail Association holds a conference where a variety of topics relating to Corrections are presented and discussed. Officers and supervisors are encouraged to attend this event. In addition, Corrections Supervisors take part in additional trainings offered through various state and federal agencies which offer a number of networking sources which are important in staying current with various laws and procedures.

GANGS

2013 saw the formal implementation of a gang unit within the Washington County Jail. This unit was created to combat the growing number of gang members that are coming into our facility. Gang members can pose a great risk to the safety and security of our facility as well as our community. This unit was formed and is overseen by one of our Jail Sergeants and has eight Corrections Officers that have volunteered to be a part of this unit.

The goal of this unit is to identify and interview known and suspected gang members. Our intelligence based identification system is used to identify not only the gang member but their associates who are beloved to present a clear threat to the safety of staff, offenders and the security of the institution. This provides the Jail the necessary information to make decisions regarding the appropriate housing and programming needs of the offender. This information is then shared with staff, various law enforcement agencies and school officials. Our unit has identified over 60 gang members in 2013, including members of street gangs and outlaw motorcycle gangs.

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office

OPERATIONS DIVISION ACTIVITY

To best understand the annual activity of the Operations Division, activity has been divided into two main categories:

Calls > Case Reports

In 2013 the new ProPhoenix records management system was implemented at the Sheriff’s Office. This required a change in the reporting formats. Prior to 2013, annual activity was divided into three categories: Incidents, Case reports and Field reports. In ProPhoenix, Incidents are now compiled as Calls. Case reports continue to be compiled, however Field Reports is no longer used as a category. This will obviously have an effect on reporting statistics and comparisons between 2013 data and prior years will have to take into account this difference in how data is compiled and reported.

Calls represent the widest range of activity engaged in by deputies. When any call is received by the Sheriff’s Office that requires a response from a deputy, the information about the call is entered into our computer system. This data entry is called a “Call”. Calls can be created when a dispatcher enters the information into our computer system, or when they are entered by a deputy into a squad computer when he/she initiates activity in the field. A call can be everything from a serious criminal investigation to a traffic stop and most every activity in between.

Field reporting was established in 2009 as a means of reducing paperwork and time spent by deputies on filing written reports. A field report was an electronic report created by the deputy using their mobile data terminals or MDTs. Field reports reduced the time spent by deputies on dictation and paperwork. With the implementation of ProPhoenix, what would have been recorded as a field report is now incorporated into the call documentation itself. The deputy may complete an abbreviated electronic report within the call using their squad computer. This reporting method is used when an incident should have some documentation, but does not rise to the level of requiring a case report. Some examples would be calls involving false 911, property checks or calls about suspicious vehicles or persons that prove to be unfounded.

Case Report is a written police report that is filed by a deputy. Case reports always start as a call. If a deputy responds to a call and a written police report is required, a case report is started. For example, all criminal cases are recorded in a case report. The deputy dictates the narrative portion of the case report, a program assistant types the report and the report is filed in the front office.

The following sections will break down the types and numbers of Calls and Case reports completed by the Operations Division in 2013.

The total number of Calls includes all Calls and Case reports.

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office

WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE INCIDENT STATISTICS AND INFORMATION

 Other Follow Up, Escort/Bank Run, Civil Process Quick Call Only, Conservation, Public Relations, Guarding Prisoner, Justice Center Activity, Evidence-Clerk of Courts, Training

CALLS

In 2013, the Sheriff’s Office handled 42,859 Calls. Calls include those calls received by the Sheriff’s Office which required a response from a deputy and calls which are self- initiated by deputies. Related Call types have been combined under common categories.

Please note that due to procedural changes in 2013, more road activity related to civil process and the electronic monitoring program are recorded into ProPhoenix through the CAD system. That has resulted in a higher number of calls being recorded in CAD in 2013 compared to 2012 and prior years. We have left these new figures in the annual report total for 2013, but adjusted for these differences in calculating the .84% activity increase in 2013 compared to 2012. Going forward with ProPhoenix, year-to-year comparisons can be made more directly with this new data included.

Property related crimes which include burglary, theft, trespassing and criminal damage to property ranked first, followed by traffic related incidents which include individual traffic stops, motorist assists, vehicle complaints, lockouts and traffic enforcement requests.

Calls related to public peace and order ranked fourth and include calls involving disorderly conduct, harassment, family trouble, domestic disputes, suspicious person and vehicles, warrant services and tavern checks. Calls related to public health and safety ranked fifth and include calls involving weapons offenses, fire alarms, E911 abandoned calls, ambulance requests and hazardous condition reports.

Accident related incidents ranked sixth. It should be noted that in 2013, the Sheriff’s Office provided 895 assists to other law enforcement agencies in and outside of Washington County.

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office

CASE REPORTS

In 2013, the Sheriff’s Office initiated 3,016 case reports. Case reports are defined as written police reports filed by a deputy. Case reports generally originate with a call. A call is received by the Sheriff’s Office or may be self-initiated by the deputy. If the call involves a potential crime or significant investigation, the deputy will file a case report. Related case report types have been combined under common categories.

Property Related and Public Peace and Order incidents accounted for the largest percentage of written case reports filed by deputies in 2013. Thefts, criminal damage to property and fraudulent activity complaints were predominant in the Property Related category. Disorderly conduct, civil matters liquor law violations and harassment accounted for most case reports filed under the Public Peace and Order category. Life & Bodily Security cases include murder, sexual assault, sex offense assault, suicide, natural deaths, mental subjects, missing persons and welfare checks. Traffic related case reports include mandatory reports filed for every OWI arrest and also reflect a high number of vehicle related complaints received annually, such as motorist complaints about another driver.

ACCIDENTS

With the transition to the state Traffic and Criminal Software (TraCS) completed in 2013, all traffic accident reports are reported electronically to the state. The reporting format has changed and some data is not currently available.

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office

TRAFFIC SAFETY & ENFORCEMENT

Traffic safety remains a high priority for the Sheriff’s Office. Through high visibility, patrol and the enforcement of traffic laws, patrol deputies assigned to the Operations Division strive to reduce accidents, injuries and motor vehicle related deaths on our highways.

TRAFFIC CITATIONS

A total of 3,381 traffic citations were issued by deputies in 2013. Moving violations accounted for 1,734 or 51% of the citations issued by deputies during the year. Speed related violations were predominant. Operating while intoxicated accounted for 21%. Failure to yield, stop sign and inattentive driving accounted for another 11% of the citations issued.

1,647 citations were issued for non-moving violations. These offenses involve serious traffic safety issues such as operating after suspension or revocation, seatbelt, child restraint and motor vehicle equipment violations. Citations for persons operating after suspension or revocation of their driver’s license accounted for the largest number of citations issued for non-moving violations.

Additionally, 181 parking citations were issued to motorists in 2013.

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office

WARNINGS / VIOLATION NOTICES

With the transition to the state Traffic and Criminal Software (TraCS) completed in 2013, all traffic warnings and equipment violation notices ( commonly called 5 day notices ) are combined into one reporting format. A notice may still carry a requirement that the motorist correct specific equipment, registration or driver’s license violations within a specific timeframe. Failure to comply with the notice results in the issuance of a traffic citation for the violation. Expired registration, non- registration, vehicle lighting and proof of insurance violations account for the majority of these notices issued by deputies.

A total of 5,695 notices were issued by deputies in 2013.

A total of 2,986 notices were issued for moving violations. Speed related violations accounted for the majority of warnings issued to motorists. Approximately 78% of warnings issued for moving violations were for speeding. Stop sign, traffic signal and other moving violations account for many of the remaining warnings issued to motorists.

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office

Notices are also issued for non- moving violations, such as lighting and equipment violations, proof of insurance and expired or non- registration. A total of 2,709 were issued for these non-moving violations.

OWI ENFORCEMENT

216 citations were issued by deputies in 2013 for Operating While Intoxicated with 183 citations also being issued for Prohibited Alcohol Concentration. In Wisconsin, a person is first arrested and issued a citation for OWI. A test for blood alcohol level is then conducted, usually via an Intoximeter or blood test. If the test indicates a blood alcohol level over the legal limit, a citation is issued for Operating with a Prohibited Alcohol Concentration. As it is statewide, impaired driving continues to be a concern in Washington County with an increasing number of operators suspected of being under the influence not only of alcohol, but from prescription or illegal drugs.

SPEED GRANT

In 2013 the Sheriff’s Office received a $30,000 grant from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Bureau of Transportation Safety for Speed enforcement. However at the midpoint of the program, the state lost funding for the grant and it was cancelled for the remainder of 2013. During the grant deployment that was completed, a total of 284 citations were issued for speeding violations during 320 hours of enforcement by Deputies. In total, 426 citations and warnings were issued for traffic offenses.

OWI GRANT

In 2013 the Sheriff’s Office received a $30,000 grant from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Bureau of Transportation Safety for OWI enforcement. During the grant deployment a total of 25 citations were issued for OWI or Prohibited Blood Alcohol violations during 489 hours of enforcement by Deputies. In total, 465 citations and warnings were issued for traffic offenses.

CITIZEN TRAFFIC COMPLAINTS

To be responsive to specific traffic-related complaints reported to the Sheriff’s Office by concerned citizens, supervisors log and assign special traffic assignments to deputies. These assignments are conducted as time permits and are in addition to the normal traffic patrol deputies engage in on a daily basis. In 2013, 114 special traffic assignments were conducted based on citizen concerns.

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office

These assignments addressed speeding, stop sign violations, illegal passing, overweight vehicles, vehicle disorderly conduct and racing vehicles and were conducted on U.S. state, county and town highways.

COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE ENFORCEMENT

Two patrol deputies, Michael Hennes and Justin Jilling, are trained and certified as Level I Truck Inspectors and are affiliated with the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, an international not-for- profit organization comprised of local, state and federal motor carrier safety officials and industry representatives from the United States, Canada, and Mexico. These deputies are specially trained to enforce laws pertaining to commercial motor vehicle safety and operation. In 2013, these two deputies spent nearly 109 hours conducting 110 commercial motor vehicle inspections. 466 violations were identified as a result of these inspections, with a total of 29 vehicles and 15 operators being ordered out of service. In addition, 24 citations were issued to the operators or owners of these commercial motor vehicles. These inspectors also serve as an educational resource for area businesses, providing presentations and being an information resource.

ATV AND SNOWMOBILE ENFORCEMENT

The Eisenbahn Trail continues to be a popular recreational destination for residents. Single deputy ATV patrols are conducted on the Eisenbahn as time and manpower permits. Approximately 13.5 hours of patrol were conducted on the trail between March and September. The citizen feedback on these patrols was very positive and the patrols afforded deputies the opportunity to interact with trail users, issue baseball cards to children and answer questions from the public. The Sheriff’s Office continued its snowmobile program under a grant from the State Department of Natural Resources. In 2013, deputies issued 16 citations and 9 written warnings for various snowmobile violations including non-registration, failure to comply with signs, no safety certificate and OWI.

COUNTY ORDINANCE ENFORCEMENT

A total of 582 county ordinance citations were issued by deputies in 2013. The single, largest group issued citations under this category were persons involved in disorderly conduct. Alcohol violations were ranked second. These persons included juveniles and adults under the age of 21 who attempted to procure or were in possession of alcoholic beverages or adults 18 and older that contributed to underage drinking violations. Paraphenalia and other drug offenses also resulted in a significant number of county ordinance citations issued in 2013.

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office

SEX OFFENDER NOTIFICATION & COMPLIANCE

Wisconsin State Statutes require people convicted of certain sex offenses to register with the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry, a division of the Department of Corrections. Sex offender registrants are required to provide the state their current address, employment information, and school information, if they are attending school. At any one time there are approximately 42 individuals registered as sex offenders who reside in townships and villages in Washington County, where the Sheriff’s Office provides exclusive 24-hour law enforcement protection.

Even though there is no requirement for sex offenders to register with local Police and Sheriff’s Office’s by statute, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office has made it our practice to do routine compliance checks on registered sex offenders living in areas which we serve.

In 2013 the Washington County Sheriff’s Office conducted 133 sex offender compliance checks. No offenders were found to be in violation of their sex offender registry requirements. It is our belief that the lack of violations can be attributed to the fact that the Sheriff’s Office has been conducting random compliance checks for several years and offenders have been educated on keeping their information up to date. Also, offenders are now aware we conduct random checks and realize that failing to keep their Sex Offender Registry updated with their current information may lead to criminal charges for noncompliance.

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office

CIVIL PROCESS

Wisconsin State Statute 59.27(4) provides a statutory duty of the Sheriff to “Personally, or by the undersheriff or deputies, serve or execute all processes, writs, precepts and orders issued or made by lawful authority and delivered to the Sheriff.” In 2013, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office served papers for 1,724 different court cases. Many of these cases had multiple parties to the actions that were served individually or by non-personal service.

Total requests for service was 1,814. A total of 1,724 civil papers were served.

2013 DETECTIVE BUREAU INFORMATION

The Detective Bureau continues to respond to death investigations & serious crimes. Outside of their regular work hours Detectives were called in to assist with investigations on at least 43 different occasions.

We continue to see homicide investigations, some of which are drug overdose cases. We also assisted in the Hartford Blodgett homicide case and did the investigation into the attempted homicide of Melissa Richards.

Many investigations cross jurisdiction lines, on average each Detective investigated over 28 cases which are linked to crimes and/or suspects to other jurisdictions.

During 2013, Detectives averaged 53 felony level case investigations where they spent a substantial amount of investigative time.

In 2013 the Detective Bureau conducted a total of 39 background investigations.

We continue to see an increase in other crimes directly related to substance abuse, specifically property crimes such as burglaries and thefts.

SIGNIFICANT CASES

ATTEMPTED HOMICIDE AND HOMICIDE

On the morning of July 12, 2013 a woman went for a walk with her dog in a park in the Village of Richfield. After arriving back at her vehicle, she heard the sounds of someone running towards her. She turned to see a male suspect running at her with a knife in his hand. A violent struggle ensued with the woman fighting back and ultimately wrestling the knife away from her attacker, but not before she received serious injuries to her hand and abrasions to her legs. The suspect fled from the park in his vehicle. The woman was able to provide a description of her attacker to a police artist and a composite sketch was rendered. A vehicle description was also obtained and provided to Sheriff’s deputies. A Sheriff’s deputy recalled patrolling that park earlier in the month and seeing a van that matched that description. The deputy spent hours researching his past DOT license plate queries and was able to locate the plate of that van. A suspect was developed in that

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office case based on that license plate. The vehicle owner’s son, a 19 year old Hubertus man, closely resembled the composite sketch of the suspect.

On July 15, Hartford PD responded to a death investigation of an 18 year old female in her home. Several investigators from the Sheriff’s Office were sent to the scene to assist. Investigators from both agencies worked cooperatively to link the 19 year old suspect in the park attack to their homicide. Ultimately, the suspect in the park attack was identified and confessed to the attack in the park. The subsequent investigation resulted in his arrest for the homicide in the City of Hartford. He remains in custody pending trial.

ARMED ROBERY VILLAGE OF JACKSON

On October 6 at 8:30 a.m. an armed and masked gunman attempted to rob the Culver’s Restaurant in the Village of Jackson. During the attempted robbery, the gunman was armed with a shotgun and knife which he used to attack the restaurant manager. A Jackson PD officer and deputies from the Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene and confronted the gunman. The suspect failed to obey the commands of the officers and when he pointed the shotgun at the officers, they fired their weapons striking the suspect. The gunman, a 24 year old Waukesha man, survived the shooting and remains in custody pending trial. Investigators from the Sheriff’s Office worked cooperatively with the lead investigators from the West Bend PD to document the scene, preserve and collect important evidence and assist in the investigation. This cooperative effort resulted in criminal charges being requested against the suspect for Attempted 1st Degree Intentional Homicide, Attempted Robbery While Armed, Reckless Injury and Endangering Safety. The District Attorney subsequently determined that the officers’ use of force was justified.

ARSON

On August 25 at 1:58 a.m. a resident called 911 reporting a fire in the lower unit of their apartment building on Franklin St. in the Village of Newburg. Newburg FD and other agencies responded to battle the fire which did over $200,000 damage to the building.

An investigator from the Sheriff’s Office conducted a month long investigation into the fire assisted by a Special Agent from the State DCI Arson Bureau. The investigation led to the arrest of a 23 year old Newburg man. The investigation revealed that while under the influence of intoxicants, the man had broken into the building and intentionally set a fire in the lower unit. The man eventually confessed to the crime and was charged with Arson, Burglary, Criminal Damage to Property and 1st Degree Reckless Endangering Safety. He was sentenced to 6 years in prison and ordered to pay $211,566 in restitution.

AUTO THEFTS

On February 7 and March 13 two separate Washington County auto dealerships reported vehicles stolen from their businesses after the vehicles were inspected by potential buyers. It was determined that the potential buyers had swapped the genuine keys for fake keys during the inspection and then returned after the businesses were closed and stole the vehicles. In August of 2013 a suspect was developed after the arrest of a 37 year old Milwaukee man for operating a motor vehicle without owner’s consent. The suspect and two others were arrested by Dodge County Sheriff Deputies for driving three vehicles stolen from other jurisdictions. The suspects 35

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office employed a similar tactic of swapping the keys during an inspection of vehicles at other dealerships and then returned with the keys after the business was closed and drove the vehicles off the lot. A Washington County Sheriff investigator interviewed the 37 year old suspect and was able to obtain a confession on the two Washington County cases as well as other related crimes from other jurisdictions. The suspect was part of a motor vehicle theft ring involved in the theft of as many as 40 vehicles. Through extensive follow up investigation, the investigator was able to recover one of the stolen vehicles in Milwaukee and one in Illinois. Charges on the suspect for Operating Without Owner’s Consent have been forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office.

IDENTITY THEFT AND FRAUD

In 2013, an investigation spanning three years culminated in the arrest of a 46 year old Hartford man for fraud. The suspect in this case was soliciting donations under false pretenses for several non-profit organizations including the Alzheimer’s Association, Briggs & Al's Run & Walk, Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin and the Salvation Army.

He was obtaining money on behalf of those organizations without their knowledge or consent and then using the funds for himself. The suspect went so far as to make his own solicitation forms, which included the organizations’ logos and bell ringing for the Salvation Army at Christmas. A thorough investigation led to guilty pleas and the suspect received a 6 year prison sentence. Felony bail jumping charges are also pending after it was discovered that the suspect continued to illegally solicit donations after appearing in court on the original charges.

2013 MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL DRUG ENFORCEMENT GROUP

The Washington County Multi-Jurisdictional Drug Enforcement Group (Drug Unit) operates as a task force and represents the primary local effort in Washington County to curb illegal drug sales, cultivation, and distribution. Unlike other police efforts in Washington County, the Drug Unit’s main goal is to target drug distribution and production. The Drug Unit has secondary roles such as gathering, processing, and disseminating drug intelligence, coordinating drug enforcement with other agencies, and has a role in educating the community about current drug threats.

The Drug Unit has a full time staff of one supervisor, two detectives, three patrol officers assigned as investigators, several undercover officers, one part-time patrol officer investigator, and one program assistant. The Drug Unit works out of the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, which provides most of the staff and the supervisor. All full-time police departments in Washington County provide patrol officers for the task force or other resources.

As a result of drug unit activity in 2013, 108 charges were requested against 49 individual offenders. 85% of those charges were felonies, many for delivery of a controlled substance to an undercover officer. Five vehicles and $96,310.72 were seized from drug dealers by the Drug Unit in 2013. The Drug Unit also seized 13 firearms during drug investigations. Eight search warrants were executed on residences resulting in drug charges.

The most widely abused drugs in Washington County are marijuana and opiates. Opiates are products produced from opium or synthetically manufactured substances which simulate the effects of substances produced from opium. Opiates include heroin and narcotic pharmaceuticals 36

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office such as methadone, hydrocodone (Vicodin), morphine, fentanyl, and oxycodone (Oxycontin & Percocet). Most overdose deaths in Washington County involve opiates. While all, except heroin, have legitimate medical uses. When misused, especially by snorting, smoking, or injecting, they are similar to heroin and too frequently result in death. These deaths and the crime resulting from the strong addiction to opiates make them a priority for the Drug Unit.

HEROIN

2013 continued to see an increase in heroin activity in Washington County. Heroin is typically found here in very small amounts; a typical dose can weigh as little as .05 grams. Even in larger jurisdictions a significant heroin seizure is still normally measured in grams unlike the multiple pound seizures of other drugs such as Marijuana. As many overdoses as are reported with heroin, many more actually occur. Naloxone (Brand name Narcan) counteracts the effects of an opiate overdose very quickly. Some overdoses resolve themselves once rescue arrives, other times addicts themselves obtain naloxone and will carry it to inject their fellow users in case of overdose. The problem is therefore much bigger than can be shown by the numbers of heroin overdose deaths. Most heroin dealers in Washington County sell very small amounts, using up any profits on their own addictions. Heroin informants are very difficult for the Drug Unit to work with due to their own frequent inability to stop using, and the sickness that results from withdrawals if they do.

PRESCRIPTION NARCOTICS

Prescription narcotics are sold regularly in Washington County. As these pharmaceuticals are often obtained and possessed legally through prescriptions, enforcement of illegal distribution presents special challenges. The street price for oxycodone is as high as one dollar per milligram, with pills commonly having 5 to 80 milligrams each. One of the current most popular prescription pills being bought and sold is the 30 mg oxycodone pill being referred to by slang as a “blue” (reference to its color) or a “Perc” (reference to Percocet which is a different pill that also contains oxycodone). These are commonly obtained via prescription, with 90 – 180 being a typical one month’s supply. These bring $25-30 each pill when resold on the street.

Criminals in this county have admitted to addictions as high as 320 mg of oxycodone per day. Addiction to oxycodone and the resulting constant need for money fuels criminal acts by addicts. The money required for this frequently pushes them to switch to heroin, which is similar in effect and cheaper to buy per dose. Addiction to both heroin and oxycodone has motivated most of the more significant crimes that have been committed in Washington County, such as burglary and armed robbery.

MARIJUANA

Marijuana remains widely abused. High quality marijuana consisting mainly of the buds rather than the leaves of the plant is strongly favored. High grade marijuana normally costs about 4 times as much as lower grade marijuana and is more concentrated. An ounce of marijuana will sell for as low as $100 to over $400 depending on the quality and other factors. Several cases of high grade marijuana importation were investigated this year, resulting in seizing approximately 46 pounds in addition to 70 locally cultivated marijuana plants. There is significant money being made and the larger dealers tend to operate for profit rather than to feed an addiction as many of the local narcotics dealers do. Almost all of the assets (cash and vehicles) seized in 2013 originated from 37

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office local dealers bringing in marijuana from states in the West where the drug is to some extent legal to grow, specifically from Washington and California.

SYNTHETIC SUBSTANCES

Various synthetic chemical substances are being sold in Washington County. These are often sold as LSD, or as “Molly” which is supposed to be powdered ecstasy (MDMA). In fact even the dealers often don’t know the true content. After arrest these dealers will admit it isn’t what they were selling it as and will then call it “research chemicals” or other ambiguous terms. Lab testing has shown they are often selling controlled schedule 1 substances such as members of the “2C” chemical family, DOB, or Methylone –similar to “Bath Salts”. Some of these substances such as Methylone are scheduled at the highest level under US code, but not covered as controlled substances under Wisconsin Law. The Drug Unit responded to the spike in availability of Methylone by tracking the drug to its source. A suspect was distributing the drug here after working with a co-conspirator in southern Wisconsin who was importing the chemicals from China. Two arrests resulted along with seizure of 24 ounces of Methylone. Street value was in excess of $20,000.

DRUG SEIZURES AND ARRESTS

Interdiction, controlled purchases, search warrants, and other Drug Unit investigations resulted in the following seizures and drug arrests in 2013:

Oxycodone 491 Dosage Units Percocet 36 Dosage Units Heroin 1.1 Grams Miscellaneous Depressants 183 Dosage Units Alprazolam (Xanax) 34 Dosage Units Lorazepam 65 Dosage Units Morphine 8 Dosage Units Amphetamine 25.25 Dosage Units Barbituate 3 Dosage Units Suboxone 4 Dosage Units Miscellaneous Pharmaceuticals 14 Dosage Units Marijuana (High Grade) 20954.52 Grams Marijuana (Mid Grade) 8.9 Grams Marijuana (Low Grade) 8.07 Grams Marijuana Plants 70 Plants MDMA (ecstacy) 1 (1 Dose No weight available) MDMA (ecstacy) 24.5 Grams LSD 0.1 Grams Miscellaneous Hallucinogen 3 Dosage Units Methamphetamine 0.01 Grams Pending Identification 1 Grams Pending identification 20 Milliliters Pending Identification 2 Dosage Units

SIGNIFICANT CASES

DRUG TRAFFICKING

One function of the Drug Unit is to cooperate with and assist patrol deputies with specialized functions. Two patrol officers responding to a 911 call became suspicious of the caller due to facial burns, they had also observed him smoking marijuana, and he made statements about an

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office explosion. A Drug Unit Detective was assigned, went to the scene and developed probable cause for a search warrant for the residence, which initially was granted for evidence relating to improvised explosives. Once starting the search, significant drug evidence was uncovered and the Detective returned to have the warrant expanded by the judge to cover drug evidence as well. The Drug Unit uncovered evidence indicating the suspect had been working on a farm in California growing Marijuana there, which he had been convicted of a felony for doing illegally. Evidence was also uncovered that he had driven to California after his conviction bringing back a quantity of marijuana to sell here. A likely cause of the explosion was determined to be the suspect’s production of THC butter from marijuana using homemade equipment and butane next to a wood furnace. Additionally a thorough investigation resulted in a second search warrant executed at the residence the following day to seize property purchased with drug profits. The end result was the arrest of a dealer bringing in quantity of high grade marijuana to supply the area with and the seizure of 2 pounds of marijuana, $10,000, a truck, an ATV, an assault style rifle, and a handgun.

In the second case, a patrol deputy became suspicious when he was serving a citation at an apartment in Allenton and the suspect would not allow him entry, and in fact locked himself out of his apartment to avoid that. A Drug Unit detective was assigned, obtained a search warrant, and the Drug Unit performed a thorough search and investigation. The end result was arrest of another dealer bringing in high grade marijuana from California, seizure of 2 pounds of marijuana, $31,000 in cash, and a car.

A third case began in 2012, and was a complex long-term investigation worked in cooperation with outside agencies, with federal indictments and arrests pending in 2014. In 2012 a Drug Unit Investigator received information of a package pending delivery suspected of containing controlled substances. The investigator worked with US postal Inspectors to conduct a controlled delivery of the package and arrest the initial suspect seizing 2 pounds of marijuana. Further investigation revealed a drug trafficking organization comprised of multiple suspects conspiring to import marijuana from the State of Washington and distribute it. The source in Washington State was identified as well as the organizations’ head in Slinger. Several involved local distributors in the West Bend, Slinger, and Hartford areas were identified. The marijuana was being shipped here through the mail and common carriers with the cash being deposited directly into bank accounts or shipped through the mail back to Washington. Though it was impossible to determine all of the deposits made, the bank deposits that were identified as made by Washington County dealers totaled well over $100,000 in a one year period, along with other drug payments being mailed, and couriers hired to drive between the states with cash. It was found that the organization at its peak distributed up to 45 pounds of high grade Washington State marijuana here per month. An agent of the DEA assisted Drug Unit investigators in opening a federal conspiracy case at the US Attorney’s Office.

The investigation continued through 2013 with a major development being the traffic stop of a courier in a rental car on his way back to Washington State with a drug payment. $37,000 in cash was seized on that stop. The stop was completed away from the main suspect’s residence with steps taken to camouflage the intent of the stop. As a result the organization was not put on alert. Several controlled purchases of marijuana were made from Slinger. The next shipment of marijuana from Washington State was seized as it was being delivered to a residence in the City of Hartford. The organization’s head, a local distributor, the courier, as well as the actual marijuana source from Washington State were all arrested together on scene. Two related search warrants were executed that day in Slinger and Hartford with the end result a seizure of 32 pounds of 40

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office marijuana, $35,500 in cash, 2 collector cars bought with drug proceeds, 2 long guns, and 2 handguns. Continuing investigation resulted in uncovering that some of the local distributors who could not be arrested were attempting to continue marijuana distribution even though the head of the organization was now in custody.

Their attempt to again bring in marijuana from Washington State resulted in their arrests in early 2014, seizure of another 5 pounds of Washington State marijuana, and an additional $28,000 in drug money. Though heroin is seen as the primary threat here due to its role in overdoses, the Drug Unit’s role is to concentrate on illegal drugs at the production and distribution level, which this is a clear case of.

CANINE UNIT

The current canine program began in 2009 and continues to be an asset for Washington County. The canine unit is available to any law enforcement agency in Washington County and has participated in patrol and drug unit operations, search warrants, local school searches and other operations. The canine unit has proven to be an invaluable resource for local law enforcement efforts in the county. In 2013 canine assistance was provided to all full time police departments within Washington County as well as the Wisconsin Dept of Justice-Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI), the United States Department of Justice-Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the United States Postal Inspectors Office. In addition eight school searches were completed at the request of school districts throughout Washington County.

The canine unit was deployed 149 times in 2013. As a result of canine unit activity, 13 subjects were arrested with felony criminal offenses, 10 were arrested with misdemeanor criminal offenses and 30 were issued county ordinance citations in 2013.

The canine unit assisted the Washington County Drug Unit with eight directed interdiction assignments which were based upon actionable intelligence of specific vehicles/persons that were highly successful. These directed assignments resulted in several felony criminal arrests, a $37,000 currency seizure, and provided important drug intelligence.

The canine unit was also involved in public relations work for the department, making appearances in 2013 at the Boy Scout Troop Meeting at Fair Park Elementary School, a visit to Slinger Elementary School, an impromptu meet and greet during a Girl Scout Tour of the Sheriff’s Office and a large presentation to the Kohlsville Fire Department Annual Appreciation Banquet. While they are on patrol, the daily contacts of the canine team with citizens, has been very positive from a public relations standpoint.

Canine handler Deputy Chris Killey and canine "Gunner" have been very successful with a verified alert accuracy percentage of 98.4% in 2013. This means that 98.4% of Gunner's alerts were confirmed by the presence of contraband or the following investigation determined that drug odor was present at the time of the alert. To put this into perspective the federal court system has recognized canines as reliable enough to justify probable cause searches with accuracy rates as low as 60%. Gunner's consistently high rate results from Deputy Killey's emphasis on maintaining a quality ongoing training program.

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office

The table below represents arrests, drug seizures, and the number of alerts resulting from Deputy Killey's and Gunner's enforcement efforts. It should be noted that in many cases, the mere presence of the canine at the scene has resulted in subjects admitting their involvement in drug activity and has also resulted in consent to search being granted by the suspect. The number of consent searches is not represented as deployments because no sniff was done but rather is another effective intangible benefit of the successful canine program.

COURT SERVICES

In the Washington County Justice and Government Centers, maintaining a safe and efficient working environment for court staff, county employees, deputies and visitors is the responsibility of the Court Services Division.

A sergeant, three deputies and one special deputy are responsible for courtroom security, prisoner movement, security requests and general building security, while two special deputies man the screening station at the secure entrance to the Justice Center. On average, 228 inmates were transported from the county jail to the Justice Center each month. 1,342 security requests were made by court staff or county employees working in the Justice Center, a 56% increase from 2012.

55,270 people entered the Justice Center through the secure screening station with 1,261 contraband items being seized or prevented from entering the facility.

In an effort to reduce overtime costs in Justice Center staffing, patrol deputies were regularly tasked to court security duties throughout the year to fill open shifts, filling over 849 straight time hours in lieu of overtime. These proactive measures resulted in significant cost savings to the Clerk of Courts in 2013.

The Washington County Most Wanted Program continued with deputies assigned to the Justice Center researching and submitting subjects to be profiled by local media outlets. A subject was profiled each week. Of the 52 subjects profiled, 29 of the subjects were located after their profile was published in the paper and shown on cable TV. An additional 7 were captured in 2013 that were profiled in 2012. Deputies have also been assigned to work with Child Support and area law enforcement agencies to locate subjects with warrants for non-payment of their child support.

TRANSPORTS

The Sheriff has a responsibility to transport individuals to and from court as a part of his constitutional duty to attend to the courts. In 2013 the Washington County Sheriff’s Office contracted with Lock and Load LLC to conduct the majority of prisoner transports. The Sheriff’s Office remained responsible for medical transports from the jail, certain mental health transports and two out of State (Illinois) extraditions.

Transports are defined in the following categories:

TRANSPORT DEFINITION TRANSPORTS BY TYPE LOCK & LOAD 2013 TOTAL Order to Produce The one-way transport of a single prisoner between the Washington County Jail and another jail or prison which is 421 ordered by a judge. Mental Transports The one-way transport of an in-custody subject between a 293 mental health facility and court. New to Prison The transport on an inmate from our jail to state prison to 158 begin a new prison sentence. Warrants The one-way transport of a subject being picked up from another secure facility and being transported to the 245 Washington County Jail on a Washington County warrant. TOTAL 1119 43

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office

TRANSPORT DEFINITION TRANSPORTS BY TYPE SHERIFF’S OFFICE 2013 TOTAL Mental Transfer The transport of a subject either between mental health 79 facilities or from a hospital to a mental health facility. New to Prison The transport on an inmate from our jail to state prison to 4 begin a new prison sentence. Medical Run The scheduled transport of an inmate from the Washington County Jail to a medical facility for treatment and the return 97 of the inmate to our jail. Warrants The one-way transport of a subject being picked up from another secure facility and being transported to the 3 Washington County Jail on a Washington County warrant. Other Transports which do not fit into the above categories including pickups on revocation warrants, holds on criminal 6 charges, and other misc. transports. TOTAL 189

Seven (7) prisoners were extradited back to Wisconsin to face criminal charges in 2013. Sheriff’s Office personnel did one (1) of the extraditions and Lock & Load LLC did the remaining six (6) from Louisville KY, Miami FL, Cook County IL, Cucamonga, CA, Tampa, FL and Delta County MI.

COMMUNICATIONS

In 2013, the Communications Center handled 65,852 phone calls; 22,143 (34%) of those calls being 911 emergency calls via land and wireless phone lines.

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office

In addition to assisting the public via answering calls and dispatching resources, officers in the Communications Center spend a significant amount of time working with data entry related to warrants, restraining orders and injunctions. Many of these entries are time sensitive. In the past year, 1,229 warrants originating from six agencies were entered into the TIME system:

2013 Warrant Entries

Washington County Sheriff's Office 768

Slinger Police Department *193 Jackson Police Department *138

Kewaskum Police Department *101 Town of Trenton Police Department 28

Newburg Police Department 1

* These totals lower than actual due to the conversion to ProPhoenix.

In addition, 176 restraining orders and 16 injunctions were entered into various data systems by officers. Each month, up to 100 warrant and injunction entries need to be validated with the Crime Information Bureau. Data entry is an area that may require a dedicated position in the future.

The Washington County countywide radio system handled 3,306,475 transmissions in 2013 from police, fire, EMS and public works users throughout the county. Each day an average of 571 users are communicating on the system.

COMMAND POST

The Sheriff’s Office deploys a mobile command post to significant incidents. The 2011 Freightliner truck, funded by a homeland security grant, carries a complete radio and communications network and specialized equipment that can be used to manage and command critical incidents. The Sheriff’s Office Accident Reconstruction Team deployed the command post 8 times in 2013 for major accidents in the county, including 3 deployments to assist Hartford PD with serious accident investigations in their city. The SWAT Team utilized the command post once to assist Germantown PD with a barricaded subject in their village.

The command post was used in a SWAT Team training session and also as an onsite command post for the St. Patrick's Day parade in the Town of Erin. It was also deployed as a command post in a mass casualty / active shooter drill held in October 2013 at a church in the Town of Polk.

2013 Annual Report – Sheriff’s Office

The command post has also made appearances at several public relations events including the Germantown PD Safety Fair and the Fillmore and Richfield Fire Department open houses.

PUBLIC RELATIONS AND DARE

In 2012, the Sheriff’s Office conducted presentations on topics which included: career days, crime prevention, drug awareness, child safety education, traffic safety, internet safety, bullying and injury prevention. Over 40 organizations and hundreds of county citizens were served by these presentations, including local schools, clubs, youth groups, businesses and service organizations.

The annual Shop-With-A-Cop program received community and business support in the way of donations for its 10th year. With cooperation from Wal-Mart and the West Bend Moose Lodge, this program served 80 disadvantaged children in 2013, providing them with gift cards to purchase holiday gifts for their families, along with food and entertainment. Deputy Mary Woerner coordinated the activities of 150 volunteers and law enforcement officers from around the county.

The Sheriff’s Office did child fingerprinting at multiple events in the county, providing hundreds of parents with ID cards for their children. The Sheriff’s Office sponsors the law enforcement booth at the Washington Co. Fair and employees participated in Celebrate Families held at the Fair Park.

Deputies Mary Woerner and Ron Rewerts serve as the core of the Sheriff’s Office public relations efforts. Both are active members of the Washington County Injury Prevention Coalition, which sponsors the annual Every 15 Minutes Program. This intense program provides instruction to high school students on the dangers and consequences of drunk driving. This year, it was held for students at the West Bend High Schools. Deputy Woerner and Deputy Rewerts are very active in the community, providing presentations on behalf of the Sheriff’s Office in areas such as traffic and pedestrian safety, tractor and farm safety, neighborhood watch, personal and home security, elder abuse, fraud awareness, bullying and Internet safety.

DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education)

DARE is a nationally recognized program that teaches children the skills needed to recognize and resist the pressures that cause them to experiment with drugs or become involved in violent activities. In 2013, the Sheriff’s Office provided the DARE program to approximately 675 fifth grade students in 17 schools located throughout Washington County ( two additional schools were added to the program in 2013 ). The Department currently uses five certified DARE instructors. Schools served include:
