6586.1 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Mark Bernhardson, City Administratoil��` DATE: June 5, 1986 SUBJECT: 1985 Police Operations Gay ° 1 ryl `I•'�' �{�`7G JUN 9 -1QGG ec "'ic (;�j;r., rr0 Attached is a summary of both the statistics from the Criminal Justice Information System for the City of Orono and also for the entire Orono Police operation including Long Lake, Spring Park and Minnetonka Beach together with the computer printout and Summary of Operations for the entire Police Department for 185. As you wi 11 note over the years the number of actual of fences has gone from a total of a little over a 1,000 in 1980 up to as high as 1,600 in 1981'and then dropping back into the 1,100 or 1,200 range during the last three years. For the most part clearance rates by arrests have remained relatively constant in a range for Part 1 offenses of 14% to 23% for Orono and 17 to 25% for the operation in total. For Part 2 offense clearance by arrest for Orono range has been from 39 to 52% in the overall police operation range has been from 33 to almost 60%. The reason for the clearance rates difference between Part 1 and Part 2 is that among other things DWI falls in the Part 2 range and the vast majority of those are arrests. It maybe of additional interest that since Spring Park has joined the contract in 1981 Orono generally makes up about 50 to 55% of the total Part 1 and Part 2 crimes with Long Lake between 17 and 20%; Minnetonka Beach ranging between 3 1/2 to 6% and Spring Park between 14 and 23%. For 1985 the budgeted share versus offense report (which do not constitute total police service activities) are as follows: City Percent of Percent of Total 185 Budget Part 1 and 2 Offenses Orono 50.1% 53.5% Long Lake 21.2% 19.2% Minnetonka Beach 5.2% 3.8% Spring Park 23.4% 22.8% As noted in the 185 figures the formula which bases the distribution on population and valuation does not produce results significantly different from what the totals of the offences reported.
