The City of Fort Wilton Bcaeh is it T5 square one city and is served by a CFA Accredited Police Department. As you are aware, there are only two accredited law enforcement agencies in Okaloosa County, the City of Fort Wilton Beach, which his been re- accredited twice, and the Okaloosa County Sheriffs Office, which is in its initial accreditation period. Accreditation Signifies that these departments have been assessed for compliance with CFA' s high professional standards. The Okaloosa County Sheriff' s Office remains committed to Accreditation principals and continues to evaluate all operations in light of industry " Best Practices." For law enforcement purposes, the city is divided into three patrol zones. The OCSO proposal provides for 4 patrol zones with a dedicated patrol deputy in each zone. The City of Fort Wilton Beach has a total workforce of 51 full -time sworn personnel. 12 full -time rod I I part- fime civilian personnel, I I sworn reserve officers, and I I non -sworn volunteers. The OCSO proposal would include 43 full -time sworn personnel. The contract will require the addition of 8 full -time non -sworn personnel and 4 part-time non -sworn personnel. Sworn reserve and non -sworn volunteers would be retained as Reserve Deputies and volunteers. The City has a modern headquarters building for the police deparhment, which was built in 2003. There is in outstanding bond on the building, with a debt service payment of approximately SI75, 000 per year ( with 21 years remaining). This building is conveniently located it 7 Hollywood Boulevard, NE. The facility has holding cells, administrative offices, investigator offices, evidence areas, records area, training areas, an impound lot, operational parking areas and other support service areas that support the Fort Walton Beach Police Department. The OCSO proposal includes an option by the sheriffs office to utilize the building as a south county services facility which would put Okaloosa Sheriffs Office central district Page- fef3 Statement of Work for the Provision uftaw Enforecmem Services  investigative resources in the City. This specific piece of the proposal requires the input and approval of the Board of County Commissioners. The City of Fort Walton Beach is committed to providing the highest professional level of police service for our citizens. The City' s residents and businesses receive it high level of personal service from the police department; the City Council does not wish to decrease the current level of service to these citizen groups. Any proposal must replicate current levels of law enforcement services. The OCSO proposal provides for the same or more field level personnel. OCSO Personal service to businesses and citizens would remain at current levels. fn Calendar Year 2011, the Fort Walton Beach Police Deportment responded to 30, 113 calls for service. Officers initiated another 6, 126 calls, resulting in 36, 139 total calls for service. Officers responded to, and investigated, 1, 131 traffic accidents in 2011. Officers issued 3, 501 traffic citations of some type during the same time period. The City' s average response rate for high - priority patrol calls was I minute 44 seconds ( 1: 44). For medium- priority calls the time was 3 minutes 22 seconds ( 3: 22). For low- priority calls the time was 6 minutes 20 seconds ( 6: 20). Officer initiated activities, such as traffic stops, were not included in these calculations, since they would involve a zero response time and could otherwise skew the figures in each priority level. For the purpose of calculation and comparison of response times, the methodology would involve the following three times: ( A) the time from when the call was first received by the public safety telephone operator ( c) 11 ca administrative line) until dispatched, ( B) the time between dispatch and officer arzivel, ( C) the sum ol' timcs in ( A) and ( B). It would be anticipated that any contract for law enforcement would meet or improve current response levels. Please provide the Okaloosa Coney Sheriff' s Office Calendar Year 2011 call response data for evaluation. The above described times are to be presented in a matrix form displaying the categories of high priority calls, as well as either separate categories of medium and low priority calls, or medium and low categories can be combined, as columns; there ire to be four rows, displaying the times identified ( A /B), and ( C) above and the fourth containing the number of calls within that class. A final column Would include officer initiated high priority calls, which were separated from high priority calls- for service. The number of calls for each category is also important data A submission shat ( Addendum B) displaying the desired formal is ntfached hereto for your use. The OCSO proposal provides response times for the urban zones adjoining the City of Fort Walton Beach. During 2011 the OCSO responded to 40,826 calls for service in these zones. Deputies also initiated 7, 673 high priority calls, resulting in a total of 48,499 service calls.
