CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT
TWO YEAR CRIME CONTROL PLAN
RELOCATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF POLICE DEPARTMENT
FACILITIES:
The police department and dispatch center are located in an old and
cramped facility unsuited for law enforcement. Although several renovations
have occurred over the years, little has been accomplished to relieve the
overcrowding. The city has a unique opportunity to build a new police facility
and to co-locate the municipal court providing a more visible and accessible
city service.
Strategies:
A. Expand the use of community policing methods by providing
space within the police facility for community meetings and
functions.
B. Increase interaction between citizens and police officers.
C. Provide a improved municipal court service
D. Increase efficiency of 911 communications center
E. Provide space for Citizens Police Academy
F. Expand training space for mandatory training.
G. Improve municipal warrant verification and collection
Evaluation Methods: Increased number of community meetings, surveys,
increased training, reduced number of outstanding
municipal warrants.

TECHNOLOGY ENHANCEMENTS:
The police department currently uses Mobile Data Terminals in our vehicles to
access state data base files to determine warrant, stolen vehicle and stolen
property information. These terminals do not allow officers to perform in car
reporting directly into our records management system. Additionally, we have
determined that the terminals are not compatible for the year 2000
conversion. The city is in the position to enhance the police departments
reporting capability and to reduce officers out-of-service time by replacing the
current Mobile Data Terminals with Mobile Laptop Computers. The new
laptop computers would allow the officers the ability to input reports from
their vehicles.
Strategies:
A. Increase efficiency by utilizing advanced technology
B. Reduce out-of-service (report writing) time for patrol officers
C. Improve response time through improved report writing capabilities
D. Reduce data entry time through in-vehicle reporting
E. Improve follow-up investigation through access directly to the records
management system
Evaluation Methods: Response time analysis, clearance rate statistics

CRIME PREVENTION; DRUG EDUCATION AND INTERDICTION:
The police department is strongly involved in drug education and
interdiction in the City of Colleyville. Our main efforts have been
directed toward the education of students within G.C.I.S.D. We have a very
positive and active DARE education program beginning in our elementary
schools and continuing into middle school. Although we have been actively
pursuing the drug issue within our community, we know that the drug problem
is also dynamic and drifts between all of the surrounding communities. In
1997,21 heroin cases were filed from Northeast Tarrant County communities.
This year to date over 50 cases have been filed from Northeast Tarrant County.
We can enhance our impact on drug education and interdiction through
cooperative efforts with adjoining communities, by improving our
intelligence exchange and by hiring additional personnel.
Strategies:
A. Improve internal intelligence gathering capabilities
B. Increase intelligence exchange by establishing liaison with surrounding
communities.
C. Enhance drug interdiction through increased staffing
D. Promote drug education through participation in GCISD Substance
Abuse Committee
E. Expand community involvement in drug awareness and problem solving
Evaluation Methods: Statistical analysis of arrests, seizures, community
surveys, town hall meetings
