PAGE 4 • 2021 Annual Report Attitude • Leadership • Integrity • Service • Teamwork Enhance the Professionalism of the Department ► January 2021 marked the beginning of the Professional Standards Sergeant position,which is responsible for the broad oversight of the internal affairs process,training management,force response review and supervision of the School Resource Officers. G 10- A new police department website launched in November 2021(www.tigard-or.gov/police)which incorporates roughly 40 pages of updated and unique content,including specialty units,an online newsroom,crime prevention,community resources and the Police Transparency page. ► Continued work toward reaccreditation through the Oregon Accreditation Alliance,which requires a department to meet a set of rigorous standards over the course of three years.Less than 20%of Oregon police agencies are state accredited. ► A newly promoted sergeant attended the regional Sergeants Academy,which includes training,hands-on work and simulated scenarios to develop leadership and critical thinking. Build A Responsive Organization Structure Assuring Efficient & Effective Resource Deployment ► Added critically needed patrol officers to enhance coverage and reduce response times to priority calls,thanks to the passage of the Police Services Levy in 2020. O� ► Added a third K-9 team to aid patrol officers in tracking suspects,locating evidentiary items,searching for ep 4ZZ�_ missing people and ensuring the safety of both community members and officers. ► Used crime data,trends and patterns to narrow the focus for patrol officers and investigators to address fluctuations in crime.

There are five patrol districts within the City of Tigard.The goal is to always have one officer on duty in each district to provide the fastest emergency response possible and to ensure all areas of the city receive visible service,to aid in decreasing crime and the fear of crime. f This model also allows an officer to become a regular fixture in a given neighborhood,enhancing the opportunities to meet neighbors,develop ongoing relationships,offer crime prevention advice and understand the Patrol officers in the Tigard community. ongoing concerns in a specific community within Tigard. 217731 34 /, 137586 311 /, 6:11 CALLS FOR SELF-INITIATED EMERGENCY 0 Q�/p SERVICE * SINCE 2017 CONTACTS** SINCE 2017 RESPONSE TIME SINCE 2017 *Calls for service are incidents dispatched through 9-1-1 and the non-emergency number(503-629-0111).Self-initiated contacts are proactive contacts initiated by officers such as a traffic stop. **This decrease over time is largely due to limited staffing,training new recruits and COVID-19 restrictions.

Tigard patrol officers responded to assist, and the suspect's van was found in the lot. Not knowing whether the man was still armed or inside the van, Tigard officers deployed a drone from a safe distance to provide an aerial view. They quickly confirmed the suspect was in the driver's seat and that he was unarmed. With the added visibility, the arrest team was able to safely give commands for the man to come out. He complied, and a rifle was found in the van just behind where he'd been sitting.
