    City of Kingsville, Texas Staff Report (A Publication of the City Manager’s Office) Monday, July 14, 2014 “Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.” Thomas Jefferson, www.brainyquote.com “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” John F. Kennedy, www.12manage.com FOCUS ON EMPLOYEES (Courtesy of Vince Capell, City Manager) Good Job Award!!! Sometimes it’s the little things that matter most. I experienced this personally with the good folks at the City’s Landfill. It was early on a Thursday morning and I was trying to get out of town to attend an annual conference of city managers. Before I could leave, my wife tasked me with taking some items to the Landfill. When I arrived at the scale house it had been raining off- and-on for hours. Since my debris wasn’t of great Timothy (Tim) Flores significance, Timothy (Tim) Flores, Equipment Equipment Operator II Operator II, suggested that I drive to the opposite Landfill side of the scale house and place the items in the dumpster to avoid the muddy dump site. As far as I was concerned that helpful advice earned Tim an “ A+” grade and a “gold star” right from the beginning. As Tim offered I pulled my pickup truck around the scale house and parked it next to the dumpster. I exited the cab, pulled back the tarp, climbed onto the back of the truck and began placing items into the dumpster.

  • Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook
    U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook Revised 2004 EDITORIAL NOTE: The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program staff of the FBI worked for over three years on the revision of the UCR handbook. Individuals from the various units that make up the national UCR Program read, reviewed, and made suggestions during this long endeavor. Our goal was to make the handbook user friendly as well as educationally sound. From a pedagogical standpoint, we tried to present one concept at a time and not overwhelm the user with too much information at once. Consequently, classifying and scoring are presented in two separate chapters. The user can learn first how to classify the Part I offenses and then how to score them. For easy reference, we consolidated explanations of important UCR concepts, such as jurisdiction, hierarchy, and separation of time and place, in one chapter. We retained many of the examples with which users are already familiar, and we also updated many of the examples so they better reflect the American society of the twenty-first century. Further, where possible, we tried to align summary and National Incident- Based Reporting System (NIBRS) ideas and definitions to help emphasize that summary and NIBRS are part of the same UCR Program. Listening to suggestions from users of this manual, we added an Index as a quick-reference aid and a Glossary; however, we were cautious to retain standard UCR definitions. The national UCR Program thanks the many substance review- ers from various state UCR Programs for their time and for their constructive comments.

She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She loved people and had a wonderful knack of making all feel welcome. Annamae was also a dedicated community activist and gifted fund-raiser. She served the Town as Town Clerk when she was first appointed in 1979, then when elected in April, 1980, and until her retirement in April 1998. Annamae served on many Town committees and boards, including the Town Common Committee, Democratic Town Committee, Town Day Committee, and Charter Commission. She pioneered a cable TV show, Around the Town, where she highlighted residents and noteworthy events. Among her many honors, she was awarded the designation Certified Municipal Clerk by the State in 1982, one of just 89 in the State. She was a longtime Justice of the Peace and married many residents. Annamae was an avid traveler, reader, and friend to Stoneham. We will always remember her smile, generosity and the work she did for so many in the Town she that loved.

  • Burglary Reduction: Findings from Safer Cities Schemes
    BURGLARY REDUCTION: FINDINGS FROM SAFER CITIES SCHEMES NICK TILLEY JANICE WEBB POLICE RESEARCH GROUP CRIME PREVENTION UNIT SERIES: PAPER NO.51 LONDON: HOME OFFICE POLICE DEPARTMENT Editor: Gloria Laycock Home Office Police Research Group 50 Queen Anne’s Gate London SW1H 9AT © Crown Copyright 1994 First Published 1994 Police Research Group: Crime Prevention Unit Series The Home Office Police Research Group (PRG) was formed in 1992 to carry out and manage research in the social and management sciences relevant to the work of the police service and Home Office policy divisions. One of the major police department divisions which acts as customer for the PRG is the Home Office Crime Prevention Unit which was formed in 1983 to promote preventive action against crime. It has a particular responsibility to disseminate information on crime prevention topics. The object of the present series of occasional papers is to present research material in a way which should help and inform practitioners, including the police, whose work can help reduce crime. ISBN 1 85893 176 2 (ii) Foreword The Home Office Safer Cities projects have sponsored an enormous range of schemes in their project areas covering a wide diversity of offences. This report reviews a selection of the relatively more substantial attempts to reduce domestic burglary. The assessment of the schemes was constrained by the availability of data locally. In some areas, for example, the police beat boundaries did not coincide with the scheme boundaries, or ‘pre-implementation’ data was only partially available. Nevertheless, some useful conclusions have been drawn which testify to the enthusiasm which can be tapped within communities to tackle this most damaging and intrusive offence.
