Bradley J. Rinehimer Chief of Police

VLEPSC Accredited Agency jamescitycountyva.gov/police Letter from the Chief

I want to personally thank you for taking the time to review our annual report and for taking an interest in your police department. I say this often, but we would not be nearly as successful without the support and trust from the community we serve. This annual report is a compilation of many of the programs and events that we participate in which helps us in gauging our success and areas in which we want to improve. Over this past year, we have been extremely fortunate to have seen continued support from our citizens despite some negativity towards law enforcement in other parts of our nation. Our officers work very hard every single day to keep our community safe and to continue to provide a high quality of life for all citizens and visitors to our area. Over the previous year, we have continued to focus much of our efforts on maintaining and improving relationships with our communities. This is evident through the institution of some new programs such as “Color- ing with a Cop”, which focuses on forging positive relations with our youth. We also have expanded our “Coffee with a Cop” program to be Photo by: Jim Goodridge more inclusive of all neighborhoods. We participate in many other events and are always looking at ways to improve our relationship with our community. This report also shows trends and analysis that help us to make decisions on how to best allocate resources and the types and number of resources that we need to best perform our duties. We all realize that a safe community is the desired result and we want all our citizens and visitors to feel safe in their neighborhoods, business areas, and schools. We are thankful for all the work that was accomplished during 2016 and for having the opportunity to work in such an outstanding community. The dedication and efforts of the men and women of this department is evident in the work they perform and in the way we are viewed by members of our community. Through collaborative efforts, hard work, and a true desire to improve lives, we have earned the trust of the community we serve. I am honored to lead such a fine team. These partnerships with citizens enhance public safety and continue to make James City County a quality community. Please do not hesitate to contact me or anyone in our department if you have questions or if you or your group would like any of the services that we provide. We look forward to an- other prosperous and fulfilling year ahead for all who make James City County a wonderful place to live, work and play.

Sincerely,

19 Community Outreach & Crime Prevention James City County Police Department maintains a community oriented policing philosophy. As such, each year the Department hosts, organizes and/or participates in various outreach, crime prevention and traffic safety events throughout the County. Upcoming events can be found on the James City County Police Department web page calendar: http://www.jamescitycountyva.gov/149/Police.

20 Coffee with a Cop Throughout 2016 officers from the Community Services Unit arranged 13 Coffee with a Cop events at various businesses and communities (Brookdale, Burnt Ordinary, Colonial Heritage, Duck Donuts, Grove Christian Outreach, Lafayette Village, Patriots Colony, Starbucks Monticello Ave., Stonehouse Club- house, Williamsburg Landing, Windsormeade). Police officers and community members come together in an informal, neu- tral space, like a restaurant, to discuss community issues, build relationships and drink coffee. In all 50 states, Canada, Europe, Austrailia, and Africa, Coffee with a Cop has done wonders for community trust and partnership building. One of the keys to Coffee with a Cop success is that it removes the physical barri- ers that routinely exist between police officers and community members, allowing for the relaxed, one-on-one interactions, which are the necessary foundation of partnerships. Informal contact in a friendly atmosphere increases trust between police officers and the members of our community, which is critical to public safety and problem solving. Ice Cream with a Cop In partnership with local businesses, Community Services Officers arranged 12Ice Cream with a Cop events throughout 2016 at various locations (Brookdale, Bruster’s, Burnt Ordinary, Chick-fil-A Monticello Ave., Chick-fil-A Mooretown Rd., Forest Glen, Greenwood Christian Academy, Jamestown 1607, Stonehouse Clubhouse, Stratford Apartments, and Williamsburg Landing). This provided an opportunity for adults and kids in the community to meet the Community Services Unit officers. Local businesses like Chick-fil-A and Bruster’s sponsored free ice cream for kids who participated. On several occasions, Community Services Officers took the department monster truck and passed out ice cream or ice pops in various locations throughout the county.

Coloring with a Cop Coloring with a Cop was developed by the Community Services Unit to provide an informal atmosphere for police officers to be able to interact with children and color with them. Officers were finding that some children were intimidated or fright- ened of police officers and they wanted to ensure all children know that police officers are there to help. While coloring they talk to the children about what police officers do, tell them about the uniform they wear, discuss gun safety, and 9-1-1.

In 2016, 17 Coloring with a Cop events were held including a monthly event at Barnes & Nobles in New Town where officers read to the children and then colored with them.

21 Every 30 Minutes The Every 30 Minutes program is an alcohol awareness event held annually at a local high school before prom and graduation. The program is based on the statistic that every 30 minutes, someone is killed in an alcohol- related vehicle crash. It is a joint effort between the James City County Police and Fire Departments, the Williamsburg-James City County Commonwealth Attorney’s Of- fice, the Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools, local hospitals, funeral homes, local businesses, students and their families. A mock crash with student actors is staged with a realistic response from Police, Fire and Medics to demonstrate the severity of driving under the influence. The impact created by this project is both educational and everlasting.

This year “Every 30 Minutes” was experienced at Warhill High School on May 26-27. The conclusion was shocking for all involved. On the second day of the program, students attending the assembly heard the obituaries and me- morials about their fellow students who were victims in the live mock alcohol-related vehicle crash. Guest speakers also share their experiences. The video of the events from the previous day (crash scene, rescue of victims, arrest of the offender, notification of death to parents, etc.) were viewed and many emotions were expressed.

It is our hope that this program touched the lives of all who attended and prevents the senseless death of one price- less life. The Police Department has received overwhelming support from all who are involved. It is our desire to make this project a continued annual event.

22 Mustache to Save a Life Race On Saturday, May 21, 2016, James City County Police, in collaboration with Ford’s Colony and Colonial Sports, held the Mustache to Save a Life 8K/5K Race and 1 mile fun run. The race was developed to provide funding for the Police Department’s Project Lifesaver Pro- gram, a program for citizens with dementia, autism, Alzheimer’s or other traumatic brain injury that may cause the person to wander and not be able to find their way back home. A bracelet with a radio frequency is placed on the person that assists first responders in locating the person should they wander away. The Department offers the program free of charge to residents of James City County, and events such as the race help ensure that the program continues to be provided free of charge.

This was a first-time event. The original goal was to have 150 participants, but that goal was far surpassed as the community came out in full support of the race. Over 330 participants signed up for the event and even a super rainy Saturday could not keep people away. Numerous awards were given out to include the best real mustache award and best costume mustache award. The event was timed by Colonial Sports, water and ice was provided by Handy Ice and Hometown Bottled Water, medals and awards were provided by Elaine Obie, Nationwide Insurance and Fleming’s, race signage was provided by Fine Signs and Graphics, and the title sponsors for the event were Dr. Burden and Associates and Smallcakes Williamsburg. Over $11,500 was raised for the Project Lifesaver Program.

We give a sincere thanks to the many sponsors and contributors to the race and to the community for coming out and supporting the event!

C.O.P.s Camp focuses on engaging today’s youth in their community through volunteering and fundraising for various local charities & organizations. This year during C.O.P.s Camp July 18-22 and August 22-26, the groups were split into teams, which were mentored by a School Resource Officer. The teams competed against each other for prizes and rewards based on activities, tasks, and fundraising efforts. They learned about topics such as effective communication, peer pressure, anger management, working within the community, and social media safety. Their knowledge was tested through completions in various physical and mental challenges.

The students took field trips and participated in activities such as zip lining at Go Ape, fishing & crabbing at Chickahominy Riverfront Park, bowling at AMF Williamsburg Lanes, and rides & racing at Go-Karts Plus. They also gave back to the community through collecting donations items for the “Erase the Need” program managed by Pamela Frazier. At the end of the camp, participants and their families participated in a graduation ceremony.

James City County Police Department Officers worked in partnership with James City County Parks & Recreation to help make this program such a success.

30 About the Law Enforcement Center

The Law Enforcement Center was beautifully designed by Rancorn Wildman Architects, LLC with consultant assistance provided by McLaren, Wilson, & Lawrie, Inc. It was constructed by David A. Nice Builders, Inc. over a period of about 18 months. The building is centrally located in James City County on Opportunity Way in Light- foot. It is 36 feet tall with 154 parking spaces situated on 7.77 acres with a working space of 47,156 square feet for its staff. The “green” building was LEED-certified (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) at the second- highest “Gold” level by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). It is Energy Star certified, uses 108 geothermal wells to save about 25% annually on heating and cooling costs, has a white roof to reduce the building warming effect, uses at least 30% less water, has energy-efficient lighting, and the exterior brick was partially made from recycled materials.

When opened in 2011, the facility brought together all police divisions and units under one roof for better collaboration and capabilities. It has a forensics garage and evidence processing lab on-site. Local, regional, and statewide training courses are frequently held in either the large Community Room, two 24-person classrooms, or the multi- purpose room. Several interview rooms and a polygraph room are outfitted with state-of-the-art video and audio recording capabilities. An on-site garage houses motorcycles, rigid-hulled inflatable boats, and a dive team trailer. A well-designed break area and on-site fuel pumps are convenient for officers and staff. While built to primarily house police staff and law enforcement operations, the building also functions as the back-up Emergency Operations Center. The building was designed and built to accommodate future expansion and is expected to last for many years to come.
