The Honorable Federico Pena Mayor, City and County of Denver 350 CitJ' and County Building Denver, CO 80202

Dear Hayor Pena:

Ol''FlCE OF MANAGER ROOM 302 1331 CHEItOKEE STP.EE:l' DENVFH. co B02!l4·20t\': 5,5-3141

It is with sincere pleasure that I suboit to you the Annual Report of the Denver Police Departr.lent for 1987. liotwithstanding tragic events this year leading to the loss of life of several public safety officers in the State of Colorado, and particularly the murder of Denver Police Officer Jar.les E. ~ier, our Oepartr.lent has achieved notable i~prover.lents in service to our co~unity. From the citizens' perspective, serious crime is declining. We continue to upgrade the tools, technological equip~ent, and facilities made available to our police officers. A new District 4 Police Station in the southwest quadrant of the City may well serve as a prototype design for similar structures in the future.

Under Chief Aristedes Zavaras' leadership, new organizational structures and minir.lum staffing standards for direct law enforcement services have been put in place to assure the public of basic police services. and these changes prepare us well to meet the challenges of the future.

In the name of all the officers and civilians of the Denver Police Department, I submit this Annual Report for your review and consideration.

Sincerely,

Dear !1anager l·lartinez:

DEPAR~1E~~OFSAFETY DENVER POLICE DEPARTMENT ADMINISTRATION BUILDING 1331 CHEROKEE STREET DENVER, COLORADO 80204-2787 PHONE; (303) 575-2011

I hereby subcit the Annual Report outlining departcent activities and accomplishments for 1987.

The most significant highlight for 1987 was a reduction in the number of crimes reported in every category of Class I and Class II crimes. The overall result vas a 21.5% decrease over 1986 and the first major reduction in crime in nine years.

Another achieveoent for the year vas organizacional improvement through realignoent and personnel reassigncents. The functional responsibilities of the Operations Division were split into the Patrol and Traffic Divisions. The Staff Services Division absorbed the functions of the Electronics and Teleco~unications Division and the Co~unity Service Division took over Training. Co~unity Affairs. Mounted Pat~ol and Research and De~elop~ent.

The co=unity-related programs such as Cri~e Stoppers and Neighborhood Watch were expanded to encourage more citizen participation in crime control and crime prevention. These types of prograos provide the mutual understanding and support needed between the cummunity and the department to combat crime.

Unfortunately. along vith the many triucphs ve had a tragedy. On June 3. 1987. Officer Jaces E. Wier was shot and killed in the line of duty. For his supreme sacrifice. Officer Wier vas posthucausly awarded the Department's Medal of Honor.

Finally. 1 wish to extend my appreciation to all personnel of the department for their continuous d"dication and performance ia providing the best possible police service to the co~uLity.

Sincerely.

-H~ N.{-~ Aristedes W. Za~as Chief of Police

Change was a key word within the Denver Police Department in 1987. tlowhere was evidence of change more apparent than in its leadership. During 1987, the Department had 3 Chiefs of Police, 2 Deputy Chiefs and 9 different Division Chiefs.

For 4 years, Thomas E. Coogan was Chief of Police. The staff appointme.lts serving under Chief Coogan in January, 1987 included Deputy Chief of Police John O'Shea, Operations Division Chief Rudy Phannenstie1, Criminal Investigations Division Chicf C.sey Simpson, Division Chief of Training Michael O'Neill, Staff Services Division Chief Robert Dunkley and Donald Mulnix, Division Chief of Electronics and Telecommunications.

Both Deputy Chief O'Shea and Division Chief Mulnix retired on February 1, 1987. Their positions were filled by the promotions of Captain Gary Gosage, commander of District Three, to the position of Deputy Chief, and Captain Darrell Bolton, commander of District Two, who became the Divis ;.In Chief of Electronics and Telecommunications.

Chief Coogan's 27 year career with the Denver Police Department concluded with his retirement on May 1, 1987. Division Chief Rudolph Phannenst!el was named Chief of Police and served adeptly while leading the Department through a transition period.

Chief Aristedes Zavaras, former cOllT.1ander of District One, was sworn i,l as Chief of Police on September 18, 1987. A major departmental reorganization was completed on November 2. Chief Zavaras' staff appointments include Deputy Chief Clifford Stanley, Division Chief of Patrol Robert Cantwell, Division Chief of Traffic Robert Dunkley, Division Chief of Criminal Investigations Casey Simpson, Division Chief of Staff Services Joseph Ortiz and Division Chief of Community Service C.

District Four

22

The first j:fDlice substation for Southwest Denver was located at 2929 West Florida Avenue and was known as District Six. The 3,190 square-foot station was built in 1960 to accommodate thirty-five police officers.

Ten years later, the station became known as District Four. During the same period. the district's complement of officers increased nearly 400 percent. District Four Station became outmoded and inadequate to house the increased number of personnel and the eqUipment and vehicles required to perform the police services demanded by the expanding community.

In 1984, a capital improvement program for a new station was approved by Ci ty Council and the Mayor. An advi sory commi ttee was appointed to make recommendations for a building site and station needs. A 3.2 acre site was selected at 2100 South Clay Street for its high visibi1ity and accessibility to the southwest area.

Plans for a 16,548 square-foot station were drawn up by Roth-Sheppard Architects and the building contractor was the W. M. Brown Construction Company. Ground-breaking ceremonies were held on March 18. 1986 and the construction was completed on May 22, 1987. at a cost of $1,698,000 (including land).

The upper level of the block and concrete station contains the reception area and administrative offices of the captain, lieutenants and sergeants. Adjacent operational areas for patrol functions consist of an assembly room, report writing room, conference room and armory_ Additional space was allocated to investigative personnel, including a supervisor's office, detectives' cubicles, interrogation room, interview room and three holding cell s.

The lower level contains a handball/racquetball court and an ultra-modern gymnasium for conditioning and improving officers I general fitness. Adjacent are restrooms, showers. lockers and a sauna/steambath. The remaining space is occupied by a kitchen and lunchroom.

A perimeter fence with electronically controlled gates surrounds a l10-car parking lot and automated fuel dispensing system. A vehicle maintenance facil ity was a1 so built into the station to house proposed 1 ubri cating and washing services for the fleet.

The futUre will, of course, bring changes and increased demands on the police personnel and equipment assigned to District Four. The only item at the station which will not change is the plaque displayed in the conference room. commemorating the opening of the old District Six Station.

June 3, 1987 became a day of infamy when, for the first time, a probationary officer was kilied in the line of duty. Officer James Wier, who responded on a domesti c di sturbance call, was ki 11 ed by a mentally deranged suspect who took his own life. Sgt. Ron Sampson and Sgt. Pete Diaz were also wounded in responding to this police emergency.

Because of the increasing nationwide concern about AIDS and other infectious diseases, a departmental Infectious Disease Prevention Program was established after months of research and planning. Training of officers and selected civilian employees in prevention techniques began in the month of August.

Manager of Safety J. D. MacFarlane resigned on September 11th. He was succeeded by Manuel Martinez, formerly Manager of Excise and License. Chief Rudolph Phannenstiel retired on September 17, culminating 28 years of service to the Denver Police Department. Chief Fhannenstiel was succeeded in office by Aristedes W. Zavaras, formerly commander of District One.

On November 2, the Department was reorganized into five divisions: Patrol, Traffic, Criminal Investigations, Staff Services, and Cowmunity Service. The written examination for the rank of Sergeant was held on November 14 and was followed by an assessment center in December. This was the first use of the assessment center examination technique for the rank of Sergeant, producing an eligibility list of 138 officers. Continental Airlines flight 1713 crashed on takeoff during a snowstorm on the afternoon of November 15. Officers assigned to the Airport, District 2 and METRO/SWAT became involved in a multi-hour rescue effort during blizzard conditions. Officer Paul Waldock of District 3 was shot in the leg on November 29 at I-225 and Yosemite after pursuing a domestic vi01ence suspect.
