from theMessage

Sheriff The work product and accomplishments reflected in this annual report have occurred because of the hard-working professional men and women of the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. The efforts of these law enforcement professionals and the partnerships we have developed in our communities have resulted in a lower crime rate and an increase in the quality of life in Polk County.

In 2013 crime was down 6.53% from 2012. There were 646 fewer crimes—with decreases in homicides; robberies; burglaries; and larcenies. The crime rate decline was even better: a reduction of 7.25%. There were just 2.3 crimes per 100 in the Polk County Sheriff’s Office’s jurisdiction. The crime rate is at a historic low—in fact, since 1997, it has fallen by 65.6% and our crime rate is 37% below the state average. There are many factors that contribute to lower crime, but there are two critically important reasons why crime remains low. First: convicted felons who are sent to prison stay there for a minimum of 85% of their sentence—this is mandated in statute. This Florida law, among other tough-on-crime measures, has been tremendously successful in holding criminals accountable for their crimes and separating them from society. When people who break the law are punished—fairly, swiftly, and without apologies—our communities become safer. Second: we have developed more effective policing strategies. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office implemented its Proactive Community Attack on Problems (PROCAP) program in 1997. Since then, the crime rate has fallen by 65.6%! Our policing philosophy emphasizes proactive strategies, focusing on known community problems, effectively using technology to implement our prevention strategies, and working hand in hand with the community. Because we lock up those responsible for crime, and work hard with the community to prevent, solve, and fight crime, Polk County is a better place to live, work, and play. Law enforcement remains a dangerous profession. We lost an outstanding deputy sheriff in 2013. Master Deputy Sheriff Joseph “Shane” Robbins died in the line of duty on April 26, 2013, when he was involved in single-vehicle traffic crash. In his 15 year career, Shane touched many lives across our agency and county. His enthusiasm, kindness, and sense of humor is missed. Shane’s infectious smile could brighten even the most difficult of days. We suffered a great loss. 2013 was a mix of hard work, accomplishment, progress, and some sadness. Through it all we enjoyed the support of an amazing community. Thank you so much for your support of quality law enforcement. My commitment to you is that we will continue to work hard to make our communities as safe as possible.

LawEnforcment

Department of Law Enforcement The Department of Law Enforcement consists of over 900 men and woman who provide professional services to Polk County. The Department of Law Enforcement is organized into to four major divisions: West Division, East Division, Criminal Investigations Division, and Special Operations Division.

The East Division, under the leadership of Major Paul Baggett, consists of the Central District, the Southeast District, and the Northeast District. The West Division, under the leadership of Major Mike Pruitt, consists of the Northwest District and the Southwest District. Each Division includes components to deliver services to the citizens of Polk County and to those traveling in these areas. Each District is commanded by a Captain who reports to the Division Commander.

The West Division geographically includes the western portion of the county. Within each district there are patrol platoons which are broken down into different units such as Crime Suppression Unit, General Crimes Unit, Traffic Unit and Canine Unit. The Crime Suppression Teams (CST) are located in each district and serve specific communities. Deputies assigned to CST provide direct support to their communities in a variety of ways to address crime and social issues through community partnerships and different methods of service delivery. The General Crimes Unit (GCU) is located within each of the patrol districts. Detectives assigned to the GCU are responsible for conducting follow-up investigations on felony property crimes, and a number of felony person crimes.

West and East Division continued

In 1997, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office adopted “PROCAP,” a proactive approach to combating crime and its effects on the community. The Proactive Community Attack on Problems program uses crime analysts and mapping software to alert deputies to real-time crime trends, allowing them to immediately deploy the necessary resources to effectively fight crime. The basis of PROCAP is to prevent crime from occurring in the first place, instead of relying solely on the reactive policing method of investigating past-occurred crimes. PROCAP has been a highly successful tool in reducing the crime rate in Polk County since its inception 16 years ago.

Proactive Law Enforcement

In 2013, PCSO deputies made 681,681 community contacts. Almost 2,000 a day! A community contact is defined as interaction with the Polk County community in reference to criminal activity, prevention and deterrence of crime, quality of life issues, prevention tips for our neighborhood children, and/or just to be friendly and show that we care.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office is proud to provide six municipalities with top quality law enforcement services. These municipalities can take advantage of our winning formula for law enforcement as well as save time and money by eliminating the taxing administrative overhead of maintaining their own separate law enforcement agencies. Each of these six municipalities are provided the same level of excellent customer service to which they are accustomed, at a cost savings to their taxpayers. Officers who were previously employed by them, who met PCSO qualifications, are now sworn deputy sheriffs answering calls for service in their “hometown.” A sergeant is assigned to oversee each Sheriff’s station and the deputies who serve in the area. Thanks to joint communications and community partnerships, deputies and police officers now work together more expeditiously towards crime suppression and apprehending those who prey upon our citizens.

The Criminal Investigations Division consists of the Bureau of Special Investigations, which investigates crimes involving illegal narcotics, vice crimes, organized auto theft, street gangs, and computer crimes and the Bureau of Criminal Investigations, which investigates homicides, robberies, crimes against children and the elderly, and missing persons. The Criminal Investigations Division is an integral component in solving crime.

Criminal Investigations

Bureau of Criminal Investigations

“Our cold case homicide detectives are dedicated to solving every one of our unsolved homicides. Working with other agencies and witnesses who step forward, we will continue to seek justice for victims and their families. We know there are other criminals out there who think they’ve gotten away with it - but we also know there are people out there who can help us put them behind bars, too. We encourage anyone who has information about any crime, no matter how big or small, to come forward, and help put criminals in jail where they belong. It’s the right thing to do.” - Sheriff Grady Judd

The Polk County crime rate within the areas covered by Polk County Sheriff ’s Office has dropped during the 2012-2013 calendar year, according to the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) statistics reported annually to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). The crime rate, which is the number of crimes per 100 residents, is down 7.26% from 2012 (2.48) to 2013 (2.30). This is the lowest crime rate ever measured in the Polk County Sheriff ’s Office jurisdiction, breaking the previous record low of 2.48 crimes per 100 from last year. Reliable crime statistics in Polk County started in 1971, when the crime rate was recorded at 4.16 crimes per 100. According to the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) statistics, as reported semi-annually and annually to the FloridaDepartment of Law Enforcement (FDLE), there were 646 fewer crimes in 2013 than in 2012 in the Sheriff ’s Office primary jurisdiction. There were 9,894 reported crimes in 2012 as compared to 9,248 reported crimes in 2013, a total reduction in reported crimes of 6.53%. There were a total of 1,140 violent crimes in 2012 and 1,326 in 2013, an increase of 186 crimes.


The Bureau of Special Investigations (BSI) is responsible for investigating, apprehending and successfully prosecuting individuals and groups engaged in the use, delivery, and manufacturing of dangerous drugs. They also investigate individuals and groups involved in all manners of vice crimes, organized auto theft, street gangs, and internet crimes. On May 2, 2013, members of the Tactical Drug Unit were assigned to work a traffic interdiction detail in the Southeast District of Polk County. The mission of this detail was to proactively initiate traffic stops in an effort to interact with violators and solve community related crime. That evening, while riding together, Lt. John Joiner and Detective Jason Myers observed a white four-door Jeep Cherokee traveling southbound on US Highway 27. By running the license plate, they discovered the driver, Scott Eargood had a suspended driver’s license. They initiated a traffic stop to investigate further. During the investigation, a sophisticated hydraulic trap compartment was discovered in the rear of the vehicle. Inside the compartment, approximately two hundred and twenty-nine (229) grams of methamphetamine “ICE” was discovered. Following the discovery of drugs, the suspect Scott Eargood and passenger Santos Zamora-Escobar were interviewed and transported to the Southeast District Command

Center. During the interview process, it was learned that a trafficking amount of methamphetamine was being stored at a residence in Poinciana. It was

also learned that a garage door opener, located inside Eargood’s vehicle, would open the garage of the residence and a key on Zamora-Escobar’s key ring could access a locked bathroom door. As a result of this information, detectives from the Narcotics Investigation Section responded to the residence and discovered thirty-six (36) packages that contained approximately one hundred and ten (110) pounds of methamphetamine “ICE”. This is only one example of the numerous major Drug Trafficking Organizations that were dismantled

last year by the Bureau of Special Investigations Narcotics Detectives. In 2013, a record amount of approximately three hundred and forty (340) pounds of Methamphetamine “ICE” was seized in Polk County.

Traffic Unit In 2013, the Polk County Sheriff ’s Office Traffic Homicide Unit continued to inform the citizens of Polk County through their education and enforcement efforts. Members of this unit are specially trained to teach our younger drivers through two unique programs. The first is SIDNE, (Simulated Impaired Driving Experience), which utilizes a specially designed vehicle to allow teenagers to negotiate a course under normal conditions, and then attempt it with delayed reactions similar to those of an impaired driver. This eye opening program exposes the participants to real world situations and shows them that impaired driving can result in cataclysmic consequences. The second program is the Sheriff ’s Teen Driver Challenge. This two-day program consists of both classroom and practical driving applications. It allows the teenagers to utilize their own vehicles and to negotiate a driving course under the supervision of deputy sheriffs who are certified as DHSMV driving instructors and CJSTC driving instructors by the Florida Sheriffs Association.

Canine Unit One example of the great work done by our Canine Unit occured on Saturday, Feburary 15, 2013. Deputy Sheriff Terry Roberts and his K-9 partner, Ponch, responded to a residence on Branbury Loop North in Lakeland to assist patrol units in locating a missing and endangered juvenile, who was suffering from depression and had not been taking his prescribed medication. It was learned the young man had left his home after an argument with his father and was last observed at a friend’s house approximately eight hours prior to D/S Roberts and Ponch reporting to the scene. A scent article was obtained and Ponch was deployed. D/S Roberts and Ponch were able to track the youth through a large open field and into an adjacent neighborhood. Ponch showed interest in a side yard of a residence and D/S Roberts was able to observe the missing youth hiding out in a friend’s bedroom. The young man was taken into custody and transported to Lakeland Regional Medical Center for an evaluation.

The Canine Unit is comprised of a Sergeant and 23 canine teams. The deputies selected for the Canine Unit are among the most motivated and dedicated members of the agency. Each patrol canine handler must complete 200 hours (10 weeks) of tracking and detection training (narcotics or explosives) prior to graduating to another 480 hour course of criminal apprehension training by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement Basic Canine Team Training, before they are allowed to work the road.

Aviation: The Polk County Sheriff ’s Office

Aviation Unit flew over 1,200 hours in support of law enforcement activities during 2013. The Aviation Unit provides support to all municipal agencies in the county, and in addition supports Highlands and Hardee counties. The missions flown by the Aviation Unit include fleeing suspects, missing persons, lost hikers, overdue boaters, large event coordination, and surveillance missions. Additionally the Aviation Unit supports the Polk County Fire Department with aerial surveillance of brush fires to direct resources where they are needed to prevent further destruction of property. In October of 2013 the Polk County Sheriff ’s Office took delivery of a new MD500E helicopter to start the replacement process of an aging fleet of military OH-58 helicopters that are over 40 years old. The new MD500E enhances safety and mission effectiveness with modern technology and improved performance.


Animal Control is proud to provide services directly benefitting the citizens and pets of Polk County. Recent examples are the annual December Pet Fest adoptions and low cost pet vaccination festival held at our shelter. On December 7, 2013, 66 pets (54 dogs and 12 cats) were successfully adopted to new homes, The clinic administered 620 pet vaccines against rabies(54 cats and 563 dogs) and other common diseases, issued 455 rabies tags, and implanted 94 pets with pre-registered microchips.

Throughout December, Animal Control continued the special adoption fees and with assistance from the SPCA of Florida and various rescues, an additional 61 cats, 162 dogs, and 18 assorted other animals were able to go to new homes.

In 2013, the Polk County Sheriff ’s Emergency Communications Center (ECC) hired 31 new telecommunicators. This number includes eight new positions that were created because of the increase demand placed on telecommunicators in the ECC. Each new telecommunicator must attend a 240-hour state certification course and pass the state exam per Florida State Statute 401.465. This training is conducted in a classroom setting over a 7-week period. All 31 new members successfully passed the course and received passing scores on their state exam. Upon completion of the classroom portion of their training, the new telecommunicators were required to complete on-the-job agency specific training with a training specialist, which consists of 316 hours of training, before being released to take a call on their own. The ECC also underwent an upgrade to their Tiburon Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system software. Not only did the upgrade provide more functionality and features in Tiburon, it allowed Emergency Fire Dispatch (EFD) software to be integrated with Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) software. EMD and EFD software programs enhance services provided by telecommunicators by providing protocols for systematic scripted caller interrogations. This gives the telecommunicator the ability to logically prioritize dispatch responses and give lifesaving pre-arrival instructions immediately to the caller at the scene. By integrating the EFD and EMD programs, the software simultaneously prompts the telecommunicator to obtain information necessary for both Fire and EMS services, greatly streamlining the process. In December 2013, the Emergency Communications Center was due for their re-accreditation of CALEA’s Public Safety Communications Accreditation Program (PSCA). This accreditation is a process to systemically review and internally assess a center’s operations and procedures. This was an especially difficult situation as the ECC was striving to obtain the Gold Standard Assessment (GSA) as well. The GSA is a voluntary assessment that is focused primarily on processes and outcomes associated with standards specific to agency policies. It works to measure the impact of accreditation as opposed to simply confirming compliance through a file-by-file review. Instead, compliance is verified through interviews and observations in the normal work environment where the specific activities are expected

to occur. In December assessors interviewed call takers, dispatchers, supervisors, Quality Assurance Officers, the CAD/File Maintenance Officer and Training Coordinator to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats as it relates to standards-based issues. This is the most effective use of accreditation as a growth tool. Due to the efforts of all involved in the accreditation process, it was recently announced that the Emergency Communications Center successfully received the “Gold Standard” rating!

Polk County Jail Daily Subsistence Fee In April 2009, the Polk County Sheriff ’s Office began charging inmates a $2.00 a day “subsistence fee.” The fee is specifically authorized in Florida Statue 951.033. The fees collected are used to subsidize the cost of incarcerating inmates-including costs and services for items such as food, clothing, laundry, etc. The $2.00 subsistence fee is assessed daily and collected through the inmate accounting system. If an inmate has insufficient funds in his/her account to pay the fee, the fee will be charged to the account and a running balance will be maintained. No inmate is denied access to food, medical care, or hygienic products if they do not have funds in their inmate accounts or if they do not have funds available during the booking process to pay the fees. In FY 12/13, $366,697 was collected from Polk County Jail inmates based on the subsistence fee. Aside from the $2.00 daily fee the following fees are in place in order to defray the cost of booking and incarceration: medical co-payments ($29,193 collected), hygiene items ($41,794 collected), and per diem charges ($219,445 collected). These funds help to reduce the overall operating costs for jail booking, housing, as well as the feeding and clothing of inmates. The average cost per day per inmate to operate the Polk County Jail for fiscal year 2013 was $53.55.

Inmate Labor Inmate labor provides valuable assistance to operate the Polk County Jail. Inmates work in the jail kitchens, laundry rooms, and clean and maintain jail areas.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office Inmate Work Program consists of both weekday and weekend components. The Inmate Work Program serves a threefold purpose: it allows an individual to pay his/her debt to society, allows an individual to maintain gainful employment, and eliminates the expense to the taxpayer to house these individuals in detention facilities. Inmates pay a daily fee for the privilege of working in the program. Provided the person successfully completes the program, his/her sentence is served. If inmates fail to obey the rules or fail to show up as directed, they will be arrested and must serve the remainder of their sentence in jail.

INMATE WORK PROGRAM

TOTAL LABOR SAVINGS$4.5 million Weekday Program

Partnering with municipal and county agencies, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office provides inmate labor to many work locations. Inmates who participate in the Weekday Program report directly to a work location.

DETENTION

In 2012, Sheriff Grady Judd announced the launch of a new Inmate Educational Program within the two Polk County Jails – Central County Jail, and South County Jail – called “Keys to Staying Out of Jail.” The program’s vision is to provide every inmate in Polk County with practical and academic education focused on improving their quality of life and that of the community around them. The goal of this program is to help inmates thrive as productive, crime-free citizens of our community, with zero cost to taxpayers. PCSO began by making jail a no-frills environment – we took away peanut butter, coffee, and milk, and replaced it with crackers, water, and powdered milk. We took away weights, basketball hoops, and entertainment television. Now we want to make the most of the inmates’ stay by teaching them how to be better citizens. We are giving inmates “Keys to Staying Out of Jail.”

PCSO Inmate Education Program“Keys to Staying Out of Jail”

There are three components to the education program – 1. television programming; 2. classroom teaching; and 3. no cost to taxpayers.

Television programming includes academic topics such as: Math, Science, Social Studies, Reading, Arithmetic, and Writing, with the goal of helping inmates prepare for the GED test. Health and better living information are also broadcasted – with topics such as HIV and disease prevention; drug education and prevention; cleanliness;

making better choices; how to love and help children; etc.

Classroom teaching includes CPR instruction, GED preparation classes, and job skills training. Polk Works is helping to teach inmates how to better position themselves for success in the job market through resume building, how to find and apply for jobs, and job interview techniques. The training also includes

basic etiquette, grooming, and individual bearing and promptness. Additionally, the inmates will be provided with training on employer expectations such as attitude, being sober, courteous, diligent, and conscientious.

By the end of 2013: 364 inmates were certified in CPR 92 inmates completed the prep GED course 100 inmates completed the Job Skills course

did you know?

All facets of the new program are provided to inmates at no cost to taxpayers. Funding for materials is provided by the Inmate Welfare Fund and the SAO Drug Education and Crime Prevention Fund. Retired and current school teachers, church volunteers, and concerned citizens are graciously volunteering their time to help make a difference in inmates’ lives.

Training The Polk County Sheriff ’s Office training function is headquartered at the Burnham-McCall Training Center located at 2201 Old Bartow-Eagle Lake Road, Bartow. The center includes administrative offices, class-rooms, seven firearms ranges, and training areas for the SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics Team), the Canine Unit, and an agility course. The Match House is used for Active Shooter training for all sworn or certified PCSO agency members. The Match House was constructed at no cost to the tax payers of Polk County. It was built by using grant funding and inmate labor. This facility uses modern materials that will provide even greater training opportunities. The virtual simulator has been a tool widely used by both the Department of Law Enforcement and the Department of Detention. Most notably, the use of this tool has significantly reduced the costs associated with Taser(r) recertification by eliminating the need to shoot live cartridges at a cost of $21.00 per unit. The agency’s new Driving Pad was completed in 2013. It has lights for night use and the driving area features a skid pad and a road course. There are multiple training opportunities for our agency using the driving area. Throughout FY 12/13, Training Staff facilitated more than 1,362 hours of classes to federal, state, county, and municipal agencies, delivered 3,205 instructional hours to PCSO personnel and offered 243 in-service and mandatory training courses to PCSO personnel.

This software works with the agency’s Computer Automated Dispatch (CAD) system and helps automates agency case and call reporting. The RMS contains a wealth of criminal data to aid all Polk County Law Enforcement agencies. The next Tiburon implementation phase will be the Tiburon Correctional Management System (CMS) and Civil System, that will allow the sharing of information between all areas of the PCSO.

Fleet The Fleet Services Section currently

services approximately 1,400 vehicles. Throughout FY 12/13, Fleet personnel performed 7,112 repair orders. These repairs equaled 12,490 hours in labor with a parts

maintenance shop.

Combined, the Fleet staff has more than 70 years of experience and are ASE certified. By performing in-house regular maintenance on our vehicles, considerable time and tax payer dollars are saved.
