FROM THE CHIEF
Mark A. Freitag, City Manager City of Janesville, WI
On behalf of all members of the Janesville Police Department, I am privileged to provide to you and the community the 2018 Annual Report. The report highlights the ac vi es and dedicated efforts of our officers, staff and community throughout the year.
Janesville’s crime rate remained at a historic low in 2018; although sadly, we lost one individual to criminal homicide. Our community also con nued to fight the heroin epidemic losing 14 ci zens to this addic on.
While we are encouraged by the general downward trend of the crime rate, we are mindful that we s ll have real vic ms and neighborhood disorder that requires our con nued diligent a en on. There is never a me that the community and the police department let down our guard on crime and disorder.
Throughout the year, the police department always works to build trust with the community. Ongoing efforts include targeted neighborhood ou ngs, building connec ons with our youth, mental health ini a ves and outreach with our African American and La no ci zens by sponsoring advisory groups for each demographic. The department also engaged our community partners to be er serve our homeless ci zens. Perhaps the best testament to our trust building efforts was receiving the Forward Janesville 2018 Community Improvement Award.
The police department remains commi ed to our mission to provide a safe and orderly community by means of community partnerships, problem solving perspec ves, innova ve ini a ves and empowering our employees and ci zens. We are honored to serve this community each and every day.

DEPARTMENT TRAINING EVENTS
During 2018, the Janesville Police Department hosted and a ended several new training seminars. Some of these trainings are featured below.
P J F L E - A D C
The Janesville Police Department hosted Procedural Jus ce at the Janesville Police Department. This was the second session with this program. In 2018, Janesville Police Department employees and community members received the training. Training was provided by the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services and was geared at implemen ng the best prac ces in law enforcement. The focus of the training is that procedural jus ce is based on four central principles: trea ng people with dignity and respect, giving ci zens ‘voice’ during encounters, being neutral in decision making and conveying trustworthy mo ves. The police department added two in‐house instructors on the topic for further discussions of this topic.
The course builds upon the internal applica on of procedural jus ce while introducing front line offic‐ ers to the pillars of procedural jus ce and its external applica on to the public. The course assisted officers in developing an understanding as to why procedural jus ce needs to be incorporated into everyday interac ons with the community. Furthermore, the training focuses on increasing voluntary compliance and coopera on from the public, ul mately increasing officer and community safety.
U A V – D
The Janesville Police Department added an unmanned aircra to the fleet in 2018. Officer Steven Carpenter became cer fied to pilot the drone aircra which is u lized by the department in search and rescue opera ons, accident reconstruc on and surveillance.

The Janesville Police Department conducted an officer recruitment
star ng in August of 2018. The police department filled 6 vacancies with this recruitment class. In an effort to build the applicant pool, the Janesville Police Department now accepts lateral hires.

SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS
In 2018, the Janesville Police Department hosted four neighborhood block par es which were strategi‐ cally placed in the 4th Ward Neighborhood in conjunc on with the established small neighborhood groups. As in previous years, the par es were well a ended by an average of 50 to 100 adults and chil‐ dren. This year the local high school football teams par cipated in the cookouts. The department pro‐ vided food, drinks and games free of charge. The block par es build strong rela onships and trust with ci zens in these neighborhoods. Because of their popularity, other neighborhood groups requested a block party in other parts of the city. Thus in 2018, we expanded outside of the 4th Ward Neighborhood. Addi onal block par es were hosted on South Washington Street and the King Street Neighborhood lo‐ cated on the southwest side of Janesville. The Janesville Police Explorer Post 500 has been an instru‐ mental part in making these par es a success. Many of the police explorers volunteer their me to help setup, run the block par es and engage young in the extracurricular ac vi es provided during the event. The Janesville Police Department will con nue to host these block par es in 2019.

The Janesville Police Department La no Liaison Advisory Commi ee (LLAC) was formed in 2010 with the La no Services Coali on (LSPC), the YWCA Immigrant Outreach Program and other local agencies that work with La nos. This partnership came out of the common desire to bridge the gap between the La no community and the Janesville Police Department. The LLAC desires to de‐ velop a rela onship of trust where La nos feel safe to report crimes to the Janesville Police Depart‐ ment and the Janesville Police Department officers feel comfortable interac ng with La nos.
The La no Liaison Advisory Commi ee serves as an important connec on between the Janesville Police Department and our La no community. The communica on is essen al to assure that all ci zens are served equally by the police department. Fur‐ ther, it is the goal of the police department to increase the number of La no officers that serve the City of Janesville.

JANESVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT 21 2018 ANNUAL REPORT PATROL AREAS
The City is divided into eight patrol areas. The areas are equalized based upon history of calls for service, while taking into considera on geographical features and natural neighborhood boundaries. The following map shows the eight patrol areas.
22
PATROL SHIFT “A”
Officers assigned to “A” shi patrol work the hours of 6:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. “A” shi patrol is the most experienced shi in the department averaging more than 16 years of experience. In 2018, “A” shi patrol was led by Lieutenant Timothy Hiers, along with Sergeants Brian Vaughn, Dean Sukus and Chad Pearson. Sergeant Sukus oversees the department K9 program. Sergeant Vaughn oversees the depart‐ ment’s Domes c Violence Interven on Team (DVI) and the Accredita on process. Sergeant Pearson arrived to “A” shi patrol a er 5 years leading the department’s Street Crimes Unit. Sergeant Pearson oversees the department’s communica ons equipment and is cer fied as a Communica ons Unit Leader under the Na onal Incident Command System.
The shi staffs 8 areas and deploys a follow up officer that handles a majority of patrol inves ga ons that are not closed out by the ini al inves ga ng officer. A DVI team officer is also assigned to follow up and coordinate outreach in domes c violence related incidents.
Noteworthy calls for service handled by “A” shi are as follows: On March 18, 2018, Officer Todd Schumann came upon a vehicle that appeared suspicious. A male appeared to be holding up another male in the driver’s seat. Officer Schumann stopped and asked if everything was alright and the male said his friend was intoxicated. Officer Schumann believed something was wrong and parked his squad. Upon looking at the male, his face was purple and, despite being told he was breathing, Officer Schumann determined he was not. The driver was removed from the vehicle as he was unresponsive, had agonal breathing and no pulse. Officer Schumann summoned assistance and began chest compressions un l paramedics arrived. The inves ga on revealed the vic m had overdosed on heroin. The person would have died had Officer Schumann and Officer Mark Standish not u lized their lifesaving training as no a empt to call for help was made by the vic m’s friend.
On April 5, 2018, “A” shi officers were dispatched to the Memorial Bridge a er a ci zen reported a suspicious person that appeared as if he was going to jump. Officer Laurie Valley was the first to arrive. It was clear the man was despondent and his intent was to jump. Officer Valley kept him talking despite traffic s ll driving by and cold temperatures. Crisis Interven on Team member Officer Daniel Hanson arrived and they both maintained dialog with the man, offering him assistance and listening to his situa on. He grew increasingly agitated and crawled over the railing. Crisis Nego ator Officers Erin Briggs and Erin Betley responded and began efforts to get the man to climb back over the rail to safety. A er nearly an hour of nego a on, he returned to safety and accepted the help officers offered. The officers used their training and personal skills to resolve this situa on with‐ out the loss of life or serious injury.
Officer Mark Pieragos ni re red a er 25 years of service. In addi‐
on to his many years of service on “A” shi patrol, he was a for‐ mer ac ve member of the US Army and re red with the rank of Lt. Colonel with the Wisconsin Na onal Guard. His service and dedi‐ ca on to his community and country will be missed.
Officer Brian Rubeck re red a er 29 years of service. Officer Rubeck served a mul tude of roles and responsibili es throughout his career including field training officer, background inves gator and was one of the founding members of the Janesville Police De‐ partment S.W.A.T. team. Officer Rubeck’s dedica on and vast ex‐
perience will be missed.
JANESVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT 23 2018 ANNUAL REPORT PATROL SHIFT “B”
Officers assigned to “B” shi patrol are on duty from 2:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. In 2018, “B” shi was led by Lieutenant Michael Blaser Jr. along with Sergeants Jimmy Holford III, Jennifer Wehmas and Robert Perkins II. “B” shi officers balance their patrol day between responding to calls for service, conduc ng ini al and follow‐up inves ga ons and performing directed patrols. They also engage in a variety of self‐ini ated ac vi es including traffic enforcement, security and drug enforcement. “B” shi is histor‐ ically the busiest patrol shi ; 2018 was no excep on.
In addi on to daily du es, “B” shi handles many of the community outreach programs as well. Led by Sergeant Wehmas, “B” shi sponsored 6 Small Neighborhood Group block par es over the summer months. This allowed officers to engage with and spend me in our neighborhoods with families. Ser‐ geant Wehmas along with Officers Erin Betley, Rogelio Carrasco, Alex Wasemiller, Ma hew Traynor, Lyle Hollingshead and Erin Johnson provide training to the police explorers on a regular basis.
There are some special es on “B” shi we have come to appreciate from officers like Steven Carpen‐ ter. Officer Carpenter is the pilot for the UAV program (drone). Officer Carpenter has worked very hard to develop this program and implement its use in field opera ons such as flood over watch and fleeing suspect searches. Officer Carpenter is also a traffic accident reconstruc onist. He assisted in the inves ga on of several traffic accidents that resulted in fatali es or significant injuries. Officer Drew Severson and K9 Fred round out our special skills with a pro‐ac ve patrol style that involves sub‐ ject tracking and narco cs detec on.
Noteworthy calls handled by “B” shi are as follows: On April 4, 2018, officers responded to a shoo ng on Janesville’s south side. Sergeant Holford III led officers through a long night and trauma c shoo ng call. Officers Alex Wasemiller, Jeremy Wiley, Drew Severson and Jus n Stubbendick were responsible for rescuing a down subject who was shot at the residence prior to officer arrival. There were eventually two separate crime scenes and mul ple vic ms. The officers rendered aid, assisted with the inves ga on and stabilized the neighborhood.
On June 30, 2018, officers responded to a water rescue where a subject flipped his kayak over in the summer waters of the Rock River. Sergeant Perkins II was in charge of incident command and Officers Alexander Erlien and Chad Navarre went into the rushing water in an a empt to rescue the trapped kayaker. Officer Steven Carpenter assisted with overhead surveillance with the drone to assist in the rescue. Fortunately, the man survived with the effort of great teamwork and com‐ munica on.
Youth and me on the job are the least notable a ributes of the “B” shi officers character. These officers responded to 40 down subject calls, performed CPR on several subjects and applied tourniquets on two different subjects in an effort to save their lives. This shi is defined by teamwork and works hard to support the Janesville Police Department’s mission, “Service with pride, honor, courage and respect!” Scene of a shoo ng incident

PATROL SHIFT “C”
Officers working “C” shi patrol are on duty between the hours of 10:30 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. “C” shi consists of 17 patrol officers, 3 records clerks and K9 Grand. The supervisor team for “C” shi is comprised of Lieutenant Todd Kleisner and Sergeants Joshua Norem, Aaron Dammen and Benjamin Thompson.
While most people are sleeping, a dedicated group of men and women patrol the streets of Janesville to help provide a safe environment to live in. Many of the calls for service “C” shi patrol officers respond to involve people who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Because of this, officers assigned to “C” shi patrol are o en faced with unpredictable behavior and need to remain especially vigilant to situa ons that can quickly turn violent. Officers Todd Radloff and Ma hew Zimborski are trained as Drug Recogni on Experts. They are a big asset to other officers on the department as well as other agencies, and are able to conduct specific evalua ons on people suspected of being under the influence of drugs which aids in prosecu on.
Noteworthy calls for service handled by “C” shi are as follows: On March 18, 2018, Officer Christopher Terrell found a male carrying a TV, Bluetooth speaker and backpack containing various tools and t‐shirts in the area of Newport and Plainfield Drive on the city’s north side. The suspect admi ed to taking items from Saxer’s Embroidery located at 1521 Plainfield Drive. Officers later found forced entry to the business which confirmed the burglary. Other businesses in the area were checked and several open doors were found but were believed to be an oversight of the business. The 46 year old male was arrested and charged with burglary, the and possession of marijuana.
Over the summer months, several businesses were burglarized in a smash and grab fashion during “C” shi hours. “C” shi supervision developed a plan to surveil the south side business corridor in an effort to catch the person(s) responsible. On August 13, 2018, Sergeant Dammen was si ng in a squad in the area of Center Avenue and Kellogg Avenue. He observed two male subjects walking in the shadows behind some businesses. Based on their behavior, a perimeter was set up in the area. Officers maintained surveillance and saw the subjects move behind Vape 101 in the 2000 block of Center Avenue. The subjects then made their way to the front of the business and tried breaking out the glass on the front door but were unsuccessful. Officers were able to take one of the sus‐ pects into custody who was later charged with a empted burglary. The other suspect was caught at a later me, linked to several of the past burglaries, and arrested.
On August 22, 2018, officers were sent to Mercy Hospital for a stabbing vic m. A 26 year old male was dropped off at the hospital with a stab wound to his chest. Officers were on a call nearby when a vehicle drove past them at a high rate of speed. The car was located at Mercy Hospital with a large amount of blood in it. A 20 year old female came out to the vehicle and told officers that she brought her boyfriend to the hospital a er he was stabbed in the parking lot of 2700 West Wall Street. Officers responded to that loca on and found blood at the scene but did not locate any wit‐ nesses. The 20 year old female was interviewed by detec ves and eventually admi ed the vic m was her boyfriend and she was in an abusive rela onship. The two of them had go en into a verbal argument in the parking lot and he threatened her. She then produced a knife, stabbed the male in the chest and then drove him to Mercy Hospital. The female was charged with 1st Degree Reckless
Homicide.
JANESVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT 25 2018 ANNUAL REPORT

TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT
The Janesville Police Department prides itself in taking a proac ve approach to improving safety in the community. Traffic enforcement not only reduces crashes that result in injuries and property damage, it frequently results in arrests for criminal viola ons involving weapons and drugs. In 2010, the department began using BadgerTracs to issue traffic cita ons, warnings, accidents and municipal cita ons. BadgerTracs is a computerized program that allows officers to complete traffic cita ons and accidents more efficiently, leaving more officer me on patrol instead of doing paperwork. The following chart details traffic cita ons for the past five years.

CHRONIC NUISANCE PREMISES TEAM The Chronic Nuisance Premises Team was established in August of 2014 to be er combat nuisance premises. The goal of the team is to educate property owners, prevent future problems, work with the impacted community, and create safer neighborhoods by iden fying and resolving nuisance premises.
The officers on the team work together with Neighborhood and Community Services, neighborhood groups, landlords, and problem tenants to resolve issues at nuisance premises. Team members are responsible for iden fying nuisance premises, reviewing calls for service, reviewing reports, and dra ing warning le ers and no ces. If an abatement process is ini ated for a problem residence or business, team members meet with the landlords or property owners. During the abatement mee ng, the problem or problem tenants at the loca on are iden fied and discussed. The officers offer assistance to the property owner and establish a plan to rec fy the problem.
At the end of 2016, the Chronic Nuisance Premises Team was working T M with property owners of 27 nuisance premises in the city. In all cases, the Sergeant Joshua Norem property owner had been no fied of the nuisance ac vi es that had Officer Thomas Northrop occurred. The team con nues to evaluate each loca on. Officer Jus n Popovich Unfortunately, in 2018 the Chronic Nuisance Premises Team had to issue two cita ons to property owners for failing to comply with the abatement Officer Bradley Rau agreement. Addi onally, two property owners were billed for con nued Officer Carmen Roche police and city service response to the property.
CRISIS INTERVENTION TEAM (CIT) In June of 2015, the Janesville Police Department began development of its Crisis Interven on Team (CIT) program. The goal of the team is to increase services for the community while reducing the risk of injury to officers and the public.
The CIT unit worked with many stakeholders in the region over the past year. They provided training to local medical facili es, the Rock County Communica ons Center and law enforcement officers around the region. The most notable effort was implemen ng the mental health awareness flag. Officers now have vital informa on that assists them when responding to calls for service involving persons who may be in crisis. The Crisis Interven on Team con nues to be an advocate for those afflicted with mental health concerns. CIT is working closely with crisis nego a ons and responding to calls to aid officers. The goal is to con nue to provide training to officers and improve partnerships with stakeholders in the area. This will ul mately improve outcomes when officers make contact with ci zens.
In 2018, the Janesville Police Department handled 66,638 calls for service. Of these calls for service 3,423 were check welfare complaints. These are calls where someone is asking for police to check the welfare of a family member or friend. There were only 135 emergency deten ons out of the 66,638 calls for service in 2018. This means the rest of check welfare incidents were resolved with safety plans and other resources, not requiring deten on.

During 2018, the Janesville Police Department responded to approximately 900 domes c related calls. According to the most current Wisconsin Domes c Violence Homicide Report, domes c violence claimed 62 lives in Wisconsin in 2017. Between 1986 and 2012, Janesville experienced 10 domes c related homicides. In an a empt to avoid further tragedies, the Janesville Police Department imple‐ mented a Domes c Violence Interven on Team (DVI) in February 2010. The team is comprised of three patrol supervisors and eight patrol officers. DVI officers a empt to make follow‐up contact with the vic ms of domes c violence within 72 hours of the original incident being reported to the police department. In 2018, over 800 domes c violence reports were reviewed and approximately 500 vic ms were contacted.
The goals of the DVI program coincide with the department’s mission statement by working with the community to solve this real, and at mes deadly, problem in our city. This is accomplished by connec ng vic ms with services, improving police inves ga ons of domes c violence incidents and ul mately decreasing the frequency and severity of domes c violence incidents.
The team works in conjunc on with the YWCA of Rock County, the Vic m/Witness office, Child Protec ve Services, Mercy Hospital and others. The coopera on between these groups has led to open lines of communica on that aid the vic m in receiving proper assistance and support.
A new ini a ve implemented by the DVI team in 2018 was the Lethality Assessment Program (LAP). Under the program, Janesville patrol officers who respond to domes c calls will screen in mate part‐ ner vic ms by asking 11 ques ons that relate to behavior, threats against life and use of weapons by their abuser. If a vic m answers yes to some of the ques ons, the person is immediately referred to support services while officers are s ll on‐scene. The on‐scene call goes to the YWCA hotline. The YWCA can then offer services to the vic m such as shelter, safety planning, case management and le‐ gal advocacy. It is our hope that the Lethality Assessment Program coupled with our exis ng Domes c Violence Interven on Team will prevent the tragedy of domes c violence homicide in our community.

JANESVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT 33 2018 ANNUAL REPORT MOBILE FIELD FORCE TEAM
In 2012, the Janesville Police Department implemented a Mobile Field Force team, otherwise known as a crowd control unit. The purpose of this unit is to have specially trained and equipped personnel to deal with large groups of persons both lawfully assembled and illegally protes ng.
The Janesville Police Department has one team consis ng of fi een members and two supervisors. The Rock County Sheriff’s Office and Beloit Police Department each have a team of similar size. Each team is equipped and trained in the same way to ensure uniformity. All three organiza ons can com‐ bine their units to form one large regional platoon consis ng of about forty‐five personnel. This allows for the sharing of personnel and resources for a large scale event if the need were to arise. The Ja‐ nesville Police Department has personnel and the ability to handle small, local events. The Regional Mobile Field Force team is available for call outs to civil disturbances, poli cal events, spor ng events, large scale traffic events and poten ally violent protests. The regional team trains twice a year with all par cipa ng agencies.
In 2018, the Mobile Field Force team began the process of sending all team members to standardized field force opera ons training in Anniston, Alabama. The training is sponsored and paid for by the Fed‐ eral Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and provides instruc on in protest types and ac ons, legal considera ons, responsibili es of mobile field force teams and crowd‐control methods. These tac cs will help to increase uniformity for deployments within our region and beyond.

The range officers inspect all department issued handguns and maintain department owned rifles quarterly.
The goal of the firearms training cadre is to conduct realis c, relevant training to enhance officer and community safety. Officers were required to shoot two qualifica on courses with their duty handgun and patrol rifle and one qualifica on course with their off duty firearm. Range instructors provided bi‐monthly open range days throughout the year for officers to use the range facili es for addi onal self ini ated training. Chief David Moore approved issuing officers 50 rounds of prac ce handgun ammuni on if they a end and train at open range.
In Fall 2018, patrol officers a ended a dedicated, focused, performance based firearms service. Patrol officers were exposed to the basics of low light/no light shoo ng and figh ng in and around vehicles through the use of Centrifuge Training LLC’s Vehicle Close Quarters Ba le (VCQB) Program.
The range hosted several na onally recognized trainers in 2018. The police department received $15,200 in compensatory training for hos ng the classes. The 167 students a ending the classes spent approximately $80,000 on lodging and food during their me in Janesville.
The following ac vi es and training took place at the range in 2018: Officer weapon qualifica ons, SWAT training/qualifica ons, SCU training, Mobile Field Force training, Snipercra Basic Sniper Course, Performance On Demand Carbine 1, NVG (night vision goggles) training, outside agency range rental (Beloit PD, Evansville PD, Rock County Sheriff’s Office, Rock River Safety Patrol, Clinton Police Department, Milton Police Department, United States Capital Police and United States Secret Service), honor guard rifle training, department in‐service, Black‐ hawk Technical College recruit training, Explorer Post training, new officer orienta on, JPD re red HR‐218 CCW qualifica ons and open ranges.

JANESVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT 35 2018 ANNUAL REPORT SPECIAL WEAPONS AND TACTICS TEAM
The Janesville Police Department S.W.A.T. team is trained and prepared to handle a variety of high risk incidents for the City of Janesville including hostage situa ons, armed barricaded suspect inci‐ dents, ac ve shooter situa ons, the service of high‐risk search warrants and crowd control.
The S.W.A.T team dedicates two days a year for firearms qualifica on to maintain rifle and handgun accuracy. Team members train using drills and scenarios for open field searches, vehicle assaults and bounding over‐watch. The team creates realis c environments and situa ons for their trainings.
The S.W.A.T. officers also train in the use of less‐lethal crowd control muni ons. Although these are not generally considered fatal rounds, anything fired from a gun has the poten al to be deadly. S.W.A.T. officers are trained to use these weapons in ways that minimize the risk of death or serious injury. Some of these less‐lethal muni ons include pepper ball rounds and tear gas canisters. These items cause a burning sensa on in the eyes and nose and will incapacitate most people without causing permanent harm.
An important component to the S.W.A.T. team is the Crisis Nego a on team. These officers are specially trained to communicate and defuse situa ons involving individuals who are in crisis. The team members o en u lize their skills during patrol incidents and successfully resolve the issue without having to escalate the incident to a full scale S.W.A.T. opera on.
The S.W.A.T team has 9 Tac cal Emergency Medical Support (TEMS) paramedics. The paramedics receive special training to provide life‐saving capabili es in a tac cal environment. The paramedics were selected from a group of volunteers with the Janesville Fire Department. Every me the S.W.A.T. team trains or deploys we have at least two TEMS medics. There is also a staged ambulance and doctor (MD1). In addi on to the care they provide to the team they can provide rapid medical care to vic ms and suspects once the scene is secure and stabilized.
In 2018, some S.W.A.T. members a ended a wide variety of training at the department range. Clas‐ ses included: Tap Rack Tac cal Bill Blowers Basic S.W.A.T., Team Leader and Night Vision User, Smith and Wesson Handgun and Rifle Armorer, Performance On‐Demand Shoo ng Carbine 1, Modern Sam‐ urai Project‐Red Dot Pistol, Centrifuge Training LLC‐Vehicle Close Quarter Combat and Guerrilla Ap‐ proach‐High Threat Environment Vehicle Tac‐
cs. Members who a ended these classes are bringing training back to the rest of the team as well as patrol.
The S.W.A.T. team con nues to work closely with Beloit and Rock County S.W.A.T. teams to standardize terminology, training and tac cs. Commander and Team Leader mee ngs are held throughout the year to discuss equipment needs, issues, callouts and case law.

In April of 2018, officers responded to a shots fired call (a empted homicide) on the south side of Janesville. Along with patrol officers, members of the S.W.A.T. team responded. The combina on of S.W.A.T. members working with patrol officers resulted in the saving of two lives, and the suspect being taken into custody without further injury other than a cut to K9 Fred’s paw. One vic m had been shot mul ple mes and another, located at a different loca on, suffered severe head trauma. This incident eventually evolved into a full scale S.W.A.T. opera on.
In June of 2018, members of the S.W.A.T. team provided extra, covert security, at Craig High School gradua on where Speaker Paul Ryan was expected to a end. There had been a threat of violence made against a student not related to the Ryan family. This started as a full S.W.A.T. ac va on; howev‐ er, the suspect was located in another state prior to the ceremony so a smaller presence was ini ated.
In July of 2018, patrol and street crimes unit located a subject wanted for 1st Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety and Felon in Possession of a Firearm at a residence off of Rockport Road. A er approximately thirteen hours of a emp ng to get the suspect to surrender, the S.W.A.T. team was called to serve a search warrant to take the suspect into custody. The suspect surrendered as soon as they pulled up to the building in the Armored Rescue Vehicle (ARV).
The community of Janesville can be confident in the abili es of their Special Weapons and Tac cs team. The officers on the team are well trained and equipped. They are experienced, disciplined and believe in their primary goal, to save lives.

JANESVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT 49 2018 ANNUAL REPORT UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING
Crimes are counted through the Uniform Crime Repor ng (UCR) Program. The UCR program was developed in 1930 so that city, county and state law enforcement agencies would be able to provide the FBI with standard crime sta s cs. UCR crime sta s cs are used in many ways. Law enforcement agencies use the sta s cs in opera on, management and administra on. A community’s crime index, or “crime rate,” is based upon the total number of “Part I” crimes. Part I crimes include murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, the , motor vehicle the and arson.
The UCR program classifies offenses using specific defini ons so as to eliminate differences among various states’ defini ons of crimes. The UCR system collects data in summary form showing one count for each offense reported. No indica on as to the range of seriousness for each offense can be made. One offense is counted for each vic m in crimes against persons, and one offense is counted for each dis nct opera on in crimes against property. If mul ple types of offenses are commi ed during the same crime, only the most serious offense is reported through UCR using the Hierarchy Rule. Arson is an excep on and is always counted as an offense with the remaining offenses following the Hierarchy Rule. The Hierarchy Rule only applies to crime repor ng and does not affect the number of charges for which the defendant may be prosecuted. In 2013, the FBI changed the defini on of for‐ cible rape from “the carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will“ to “Penetra on, no ma er how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetra on by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the vic m”. The State of Wisconsin adopted this change in 2017.
UCR data is collected na onwide in a manner that standardizes the defini ons of offenses. However, a number of factors can influence crime in individual jurisdic ons. These factors should be considered when using UCR crime sta s cs for comparison purposes:
Popula on density and degree of urbaniza on of the locality and its surrounding area. Varia ons in composi on of the popula on. Number of residents vs. the “policing popula on,” i.e., residents plus daily commuters, shoppers, tourists, etc. Economic condi ons, including job availability. Modes of transporta on and highway systems. Cultural condi ons, such as educa on, recrea on and religious characteris cs. Climate. Effec ve strength of law enforcement agencies. Administra ve and inves ga ve emphasis of law enforcement. Policies of other components of the criminal jus ce system, i.e., prosecutorial, judicial, correc onal and proba onal.
