CITY OF
SHAKOPEE
POLICE DEPARTMENT
DATE: July 27,2007
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Dan Hughes, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: 2008 General Fund Budget Request
The City of Shakopee has established five goals as a method of setting priorities and providing
direction to staff. Directly related to police services are: Goal A- Active And Healthy Community;
Goal B- High Quality Of Life; Goal C- Great Place For Kids To Grow Up; Goal D- Vibrant,
Resilient And Stable; and Goal E- Financially Strong.
The 2008 police budget proposal is submitted with these goals and strategies in mind. A decision
package for additional personnel in the 2008 police budget proposes to include three patrol officers and
two % time seasonal community service officers. This would produce a total of four and a half new
positions within the department.
The police department is currently operating with 46 sworn officers. We have a 2007-budgeted staff of
47 sworn officers. We are presently in a hiring process with intentions of filling the one remaining
vacant police officer position for 2007.
A recent staffing needs assessment (see attached) supports a staffing level of31 patrol officers. That
number added to the positions of Chief, two captains, eight sergeants, four investigators, three school
resource officers, and one crime prevention/multi-housing officer equals a total staff of 50 sworn
officers. With expanding service levels and a city population that continues to grow, the requested
staffwill help maintain an acceptable level of service to the members of the community.
A staff of 50 sworn officers serving an estimated 2008 population of 32,800 equates to 1.52 officers
per 1,000 residents. A City commissioned study advised minimum staffing levels in excess of 1.5
officers per 1,000 residents. A ratio of 1.52 officers per 1,000 residents is appropriate based on the
department's analysis and the City's independent staffing analysis which called for more than 1.5
officers per 1,000 residents.
Choosing to reduce patrol-staffing levels below the prescribed levels may negatively impact the police
department's ability to meet established City goals and adversely affect service levels.
Over the last nine years the police department has been transitioning its first line service providers -
patrol officers. Patrol officers no longer answer calls for service and perform little to no investigative
follow-up. Today they have a more proactive role as crime-solvers, carrying the additional
responsibility of an investigative case10ad. This transition increased the number of patrol officers on
the street providing direct customer service. Simultaneously, the department has seen its crime
clearance rates climb to a level above the metro average. Keeping pace with population growth and
1
service demands is necessary to prevent the reduction in effectiveness ofthe individual patrol officer.
If appropriate staffing levels are not maintained, each officer will carry a larger caseload and will be
responsible for a larger percentage of the daily calls for service. This will reduce the officer's ability to
perform follow-up investigations and could lead to a reduction in clearance rates.
Analyzing the community survey conducted during 2006-2007, the department received feedback from
Shakopee residents regarding a variety of matters. One of the sections asked residents, "How can we
serve you better?" Residents were asked in this section to rate services by level of importance and
indicate which services should be increased.
Responses and areas of concerns can be grouped as follows: Drug Activity and Enforcement,
Burglaries and Property Crimes, Traffic Enforcement and DWI, Gang Issues and Graffiti Abatement,
Ordinance and Quality of Life issues, and Juvenile Issues. Council has authorized the police
department to redeploy staffto enhance enforcement and response strategies to meet these priorities.
The additional officers requested will be deployed to the patrol division and enhance the department's
uniformed patrol presence, a priority commonly listed in the community surveys.
The 2008 police department budget proposal reflects an increase in supplies and services. This increase
is due to the police department's share ofthe joint training facility, which is $36,000. The substantial
increase in fuel costs is reflected in this budget.
The Tri-City Tactical Team is comprised of Shakopee, Savage, Prior Lake, and Scott County. The
tactical team provided a budget in which each participating agency would pay ~ of the budget. The
Shakopee share is $11,790. Each participating agency will contribute the same amount, regardless of
size or number of officers on the team. This amount is the same as was budgeted for 2007.
The Tri-City Tactical Team has been combining resources since 2001; however, each agency paid for
their training and supplies separately. The Tri-City Tactical Team's governing board agreed that a
common budget was in the best interest of the team. The amount requested reflects the minimum
training and supplies needed, which the department has covered in the past, along with equipment
improvements.
Scott County continues to move forward with the transition to the 800 MHZ radio system. During the
2006 budget discussion, council authorized $465,000.00 for the 800 MHZ transition. The police
department share was $237,000. Scott County recently informed the police department that the
equipment would not be purchased until late 2007 or possibly the first quarter of 2008, with the system
functioning during 2008.
As part ofthe 2008 budget proposal, the police department asks that council carry forward the funds
originally identified for the 800 MHZ radio systems to 2008.
The items requested in the police department's 2008 budget proposal was made after careful
consideration of the needs of the community, and our ability in the police department to be able to
deliver the quality level of service the community deserves and has come to expect.

CITY OF
SHAKOPEE MEMO
POLICE DEPARTMENT
DATE: July 16, 2007
TO: Dan Hughes, Chief of Police / Emergency Management Director
FROM: Craig Robson, Captain
SUBJECT: International Association of Chiefs of Police Staffing Analysis - Estimated
Staffing for 2008
I applied the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) staffing needs formula to
our 2006 statistics and our projected 2007 statistics. The 2006 statistics produce a minimum
staffing level of 31.56 patrol officers. The projected 2007 statistics produced a minimum
staffing level of 34.28 patrol officers.
METHODOLOGY
The following formula is from a system devised and accepted by the IACP. The formula is
intended to calculate the minimum number of patrol officers needed to cover the existing
workload. It is a formula based on actual police service demands and not simply on
population.
The 2007 projected activity levels represent an approximate nine percent increase over 2006
activity levels. Based on past forecasts, a nine percent increase is a realistic and often a
conservative estimate. One exception exists, the department saw an overall decrease in traffic
accidents from 2005 to 2006. Due to this trend, the projection for traffic accidents was reduced
from nine to five per cent.
Weighting of Events
Incidents are first weighted by the formula to take into account the longer time necessary for a
police officer to process more serious offenses.
2006 Projected Actual 2006 Totals vs.
Class of Event Weighting X Events 2007 = Projected 2007 Totals

DWI 412 449 824 / 898
Other 1 4973 5421 4973/5421
Total Weighted events 35,460/38516
CALCULATING PATROL BEATS
For the purposes of this study, a patrol beat is defined as a basic one-officer patrol shift, 10
hours a day, 365 days per year.
2006 2007
A. Total weighted events 35,460 38,594
B. The number of weighted events is multiplied by .55 hours (35 19,503 21,184
minutes) which is the average time required for handling an
incident or investigation at the patrol level.
C. This total is multiplied by 3 to allow for a buffer factor to 58,509 63,552
cover time spent on preventive patrol, court time, training,
meetings, care of equipment, and report writing. These are
times that are not reflected in incident reports.
D. The total is then divided by 3,650 which represents the 16.02 17.4
number of hours necessary to staff one patrol beat (10 hours
per day X 365 days=3650). This total is the number of patrol
beats required to cover existing workloads.
E. The 14.7 /16.1 beats would be divided over 3 shifts and a 5.3 5.8
night power shift. This averages out to 4.9 / 5.3 beats per
shift, plus the power shift.
CALCULATING THE NUMBER OF OFFICERS TO STAFF ONE BEAT
To determine the number of patrol officers necessary to cover a single beat, we must subtract
the number of hours an officer is unavailable for duty, because of days off, vacation, holidays,
sick leave, etc. from 3,650 (10 hours per day X 365 days = 3650)~ The remaining hours
represent the net hours an officer is actually available for patrol. That figure can then be used
to calculate the number of officers required to staff a beat and the total number needed to
adequately staff the force.
A V AILABILITY FACTOR
L\
Days Off (40 hour work week) 1,560
Vacation 87
Holidays 92
Sick 58
Total hours unavailable for patrol 1,797
When the number 1797 is subtracted from the 3,650 the result shows that each officer provides
1,853 hours on duty per year.
To determine the number of patrol officers necessary to staff one beat, the figure 3,650 is
divided by the 1,853. The resulting ratio is 1.97 officers to staff one beat.
When the Officer / Beat Ratio is calculated using 2006 statistics (16.02 x 1.97), the result is
31.56 patrol officers. Using projected 2007 statistics (17.4 x 1.97), the result is that 34.28
patrol officers are needed to staff the patrol schedule in 2008.
CONCULSION
Under the current departmental structure, an increase to 31 patrol officers would require the
addition of three officers, bringing the total number of sworn staff to 50. City staff estimates
the 2007 population level at 32,300, and a population of 32,800 for 2008. Using a 2008
population estimate of32,800, the resulting officer to resident ratio is 1.52 officers per 1,000
residents.
2004 2005 2006 2007 2008
Sworn Officers (budgeted) 40 42 46 47 50
Population 29,900 31,233 31,800 32,300 32,800
Officers per 1,000 1.33 1.34 1.44 1.45 1.52
This proposed minimum staffing level is appropriate based both on the IACP staffing
methodology and the City's independent staffing analysis which called for more than 1.5
officers per 1,000 residents.
Finally, the proposed addition of three officers is consistent with staffing levels previously
approved by City Council. The proposed staffing increase allows the police department to
maintain its current service levels and work toward meeting City goals.

CITY OF SHAKO PEE
2008 GENERAL FUND BUDGET
Division: Police
MISSION STATEMENT:
It is the mission of the Shakopee Police Department to provide services
with integrity and professionalism, to protect citizens through
enforcement of the law and to work in partnership with our community to
enhance the quality of life in the City of Shakopee.
ACTIVITY:
The primary services of the Police Department are heavily focused in
safety. This includes the prevention of crime and hazards through
education and citizen involvement; the timely response to life
threatening, hazardous, suspicious, or in progress criminal activity;
followed by the investigation of these events to prevent their
reoccurrence, seek prosecution and reassure the community of its
safety.
The Police Department has successfully implemented the Crime Free
Multi-housing Program. The department Crime Prevention Officer carries
out the responsibilities of the program. This officer works with the
City's multi-housing managers and assists them with problem tenants and
their ultimate eviction should they continue to violate laws and become
a burden on police services. Additional duties include the
coordination of National Night Out and the Community Emergency Response
Team.
Youth is another major focus of our police function. We have three
School Resource Officers.
Community-oriented policing is the philosophical basis of all
department activities. This style of policing places great emphasis on
developing new lines of communication while enhancing existing ones.
Traditional patrol methods are supplemented, and sometimes replaced, by
alternative methods of service delivery. Soliciting community feedback
is a method of service evaluation. Officer training, scheduling, and
assignments are meant to reflect the importance of transforming the
police role from one of reactive law enforcement to that of problem
solving, working in partnership with our community to meet or exceed
their expectations.
GOALS:
1. Maintain an average or above average crime clearance rate.
2. Continue to provide quality services with available resources.
3. Improve communication within the community.
4. Improve communication and collaboration with other public sector
jurisdictions.
5. Ensure a safe and secure community.
6. Maintain a reasonable core of officers based on the City's
growing population.

City of Shakopee
Budget Improvement Package
Prepared by: Craig Robson, Captain
Department: Police
Date: July 1 7, 2007
Instructions ---for each employee position or promotion that has not been
filled, or otherwise specifically authorized by Council (not just budgeted),
the following information should be provided:
Position Title: Police officers (three)
Description of need: The police department is currently operating with 46
sworn officers. We have a 2007 -budgeted staff of 47 sworn officers. Weare
presently in a hiring process with intentions of filling the one unfilled police
officer positions for 2007. A recent staffing needs assessment (see attached)
supports a staff level of 31 patrol officers. That number added to the
positions of Chief, two Captains, eight Sergeants, four Investigators, three
School Resource Officers and one crime prevention/multi-housing officer
equals a total staff of 50 sworn officers. With expanding service levels and a
city population which continues to grow, the requested staff will help
maintain an acceptable level of service to the members of the community.
All costs to fill the position (include salary, benefits, training,
equipment, and any other costs needed to fully supply the position for
FY08):
A. Step 1 salary: $47,350.00 X 3 $142,050.00
B. Benefits: l5,626.00 46,878.00
C. Initial uniform/equipment purchase: l.500.00 4.500.00
Subtotal: $64,476.00 $l93,428.00
Total: $l93,428.00
\?J
An additional $720.00 would also be needed per officer should the proposed officer elect
to participate in the pay-for-performance plan over the longevity plan and if the officer
had a Bachelor's or Master's degree in a job related field.
Impact on City Service Levels by Funding the Position:
The Shakopee Police Department continues to be a Scott County leader in
police calls for service and work product produced. Demands on the police
department continue to increase. The additional staffing requested is the
same as that contained in the 2007 police budget and will allow the
department to provide the level of service that the community is accustom
to.
Analyzing the community survey conducted during 2006-2007, the
department received feedback from Shakopee residents regarding a variety
of matters. One of the sections asked residents, "How can we serve you
better?" Residents were asked in this section to rate services by level of
importance and indicate which services should be increased.
Responses and areas of concerns can be grouped as follows: Drug Activity
and Enforcement, Burglaries and Property Crimes, Traffic Enforcement and
DWI, Gang Issues and Graffiti Abatement, Ordinance and Quality of Life
issues, and Juvenile Issues. Council has authorized the police department to
redeploy staff to enhance enforcement and response strategies to meet these
priorities. The additional officers requested will be deployed to the patrol
division and enhance the departments uniformed patrol presence, a priority
commonly listed in the community surveys.

Department: Police
Date: July 17, 2007
Instructions --- for each employee position or promotion that has not been
filled, or otherwise specifically authorized by Council (not just budgeted),
the following information should be provided:
Position Title: Seasonal Community Service Officers (two)
Description of need: The police department is currently operating with 2 %
time community service officers. Two % time community service officer
positions remain vacant. Weare presently in a hiring process with intentions
of filling these vacant positions for 2007. The requested additional staff will
enhance the department's ability to provide a more proactive code
enforcement effort during the summer of 2008. It is the intention of the
department to fill this Y2 time position with two seasonal employees working
thirteen weeks, starting the first week of June through the last week of
August '08.
All costs to fill the position (include salary, benefits, training,
equipment, and any other costs needed to fully supply the position for
FY08):
A. Step 1 salary: 3l,638.00 X .5 = $l5,819.00
B. Benefits: 4,670.00 4,670.00

Impact on City Service Levels by Funding the Position:
The Shakopee Police Department continues to be a Scott County leader in
workload. Demands on the police department continue to increase with an
expanded area of responsibility being in code enforcement. During the
summer of 2007 the police department worked in partnership with the
Engineering and Planning departments to help resolve code issues in the
city.
Additionally the police department recommended and enacted a graffiti
abatement ordinance after recognizing the physical and psychological effect
it has on the city and its residents. Unfortunately unsuccessful community
service officer hiring processes have resulted in staff vacancies and have
limited the police department's effectiveness in the area of code
enforcement. Many of the code enforcement duties have been coordinated
by the department's sworn staff, taking time away from their other
responsibilities.
Analyzing the community survey conducted during 2006-2007, the
department received feedback from Shakopee residents regarding a variety
of matters. One of the sections asked residents, "How can we serve you
better?" Residents were asked in this section to rate services by level of
importance and indicate which services should be increased. Graffiti
abatement, ordinance enforcement and quality of life issues were listed as
high priorities among residents.
