Rhode Island State Police 2016 ANNUAL REPORT STATE OF RHODE ISLAND AND PROVIDENCE PLANTATIONS DIVISION OF STATE POLICE HEADQUARTERS: 311 DANIELSON PIKE, NORTH SCITUATE, RHODE ISLAND 02857 Telephone: (401) 444-1001 • Fax: (401) 444-1105 E-Mail: [email protected] OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT ANN C. ASSUMPICO COLONEL SUPERINTENDENT DIRECTOR DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY March 1, 2017 The Honorable Gina M. Raimondo Governor State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations State House 82 Smith Street Providence, RI 02903 Dear Governor Raimondo: I am pleased to provide you with the 2016 Rhode Island State Police Annual Report, my first since being named Superintendent in November. The Patrol Bureau continues its mission of enforcing the state's motor vehicle laws, including driving while impaired, speeding, aggressive and distracted driving, and the "move over" law. Troopers work with our federal, state, and local partners on enforcement, outreach, and education in an effort to improve safety on our roadways. The Detective Bureau is consistently called upon for its expertise. Detectives have had great success with drug-related investigations, child predator investigations, financial crimes, and computer crimes. The Gaming Enforcement Unit will be expanding its operations as a result of a new casino being built in Tiverton. The Special Investigations Unit and the Fusion Center provide expertise to detect, prevent, investigate, and respond to criminal and terrorist activity. The Community Outreach Program continues to make positive impacts. Programs includes outreach, education, recruiting, and sports. "Kids, Cops, & Classrooms" and "Kids, Cops, & Christmas" are statewide initiatives to provide school supplies and holiday gifts to area children. We are developing and refining best practices to prepare for our next recruitment drive, and through our community outreach programs we are able to spread the word that the Rhode Island State Police is seeking hard working men and women from all backgrounds to become Rhode Island State Troopers. The Rhode Island State Police will be hosting the Association of State Criminal Investigators Association conference, the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies conference, and the New England State Police Women's Leadership Conference. The Division will also be coordinating security for the National Governors' Association conference as well as other large events during the summer. On behalf of the men and women of the Rhode Island State Police, I thank you for your support and look forward to working with you to provide the best in law enforcement services for our state.
