The Police Services Division continues to respond to emergency calls for service.

Over 4,600 square miles Deputies drive hundreds of miles from call to call.

Future Challenges & Opportunities

FY 20-21 Proposed Budget Presentation

• Currently, County Patrol is

staffed with 25 deputy sheriffs, which allows us to schedule enough staff to provide 24 hour response to emergency calls for service without dropping below minimum staffing levels (three deputies and a sergeant for dayshift and swing shift, and two deputies and a sergeant for graveyard).

Future Challenges & Opportunities

FY 20-21 Proposed Budget Presentation

To get to .36 officers per 1,000 population for Lane County, we would need 127 deputies, or 63 more deputies than we currently have (twice the number).

2019

Dispatch entered 65,551 calls for service.

The result?

That’s an average of 180 calls for service per day,

• r 60 calls per shift for 3 deputies and a sergeant

to respond to.

Community members receive no deputy response, or deputy response takes much longer than community members feel is appropriate.

“One of my most stressful days in dispatch was when we had multiple priority 1 calls at the same

• time. There was a dispute south of Cottage Grove

where multiple people were in a physical fight. There was a stabbing up the McKenzie where the suspect was still on scene and armed, and a dispute involving a gun at the coast. We had three deputies

• n and all of these calls happening at once. Every

dispatcher was on a 9-1-1 call and it was a horrible situation to have to prioritize where to send

• deputies. And this happens more often than people

think.” ~Sheriff’s Office Dispatch Supervisor

FY 20-21 Proposed Budget Presentation

2019

605 reports of assault Average response time?

1 hour 25 minutes.

Additional funding for more deputies is needed to:

• Increase the number of calls the Sheriff’s Office

can respond to.

• Decrease the time it takes to respond to calls,

ultimately……..

Increasing the safety and quality of life for Lane County residents and visitors.

Future Challenges & Opportunities

FY 20-21 Proposed Budget Presentation

• Facets of the jail are aging and require replacement, including:
• The roof, much of which is over 40 years old and leaking.
• The elevators used to transport inmates and staff 24/7 frequently fail to

function or stop mid-route, trapping staff and inmates inside. The age

• f the elevators requires complete replacement.
• Building design of the jail is not efficient or in line with current needs.
• Lane County is ranked as one of the worst two

Oregon counties for traffic fatalities since 2007. Since the disbanding of the Traffic Safety Team the Lane County Sheriff’s Office has seen a 88% decrease in traffic citations. The three elements involved in the reduction of vehicle crashes and fatalities are engineering, education and

• ENFORCEMENT. With the current staffing levels,

deputies have little to no discretionary time for traffic enforcement.

Future Challenges & Opportunities

FY 20-21 Proposed Budget Presentation

The prolific use of cell phones and computers has created the need for staffing and technology to perform computer forensics. Nearly all felony investigations have a component that involves a cell phone or computer. The Sheriff’s Office is in need of a Computer Forensic Examiner dedicated and trained on the appropriate and legal manner to obtain vital evidence from electronic devices, which is instrumental to the investigation and prosecution of felony cases.

Future Challenges & Opportunities

FY 20-21 Proposed Budget Presentation

The Criminal Investigations Section, staffed with four detectives and a sergeant, continues to investigate a high volume of sex crimes, serious assaults, homicides and child abuse cases for our service population of ~110,000 people. 2019 Stats 334 cases opened/ investigated by detectives 7 homicides investigated Hundreds of cases referred to the Sheriff’s Office by DHS for review LCSO – 5 FTE serving population of ~110,000 EPD – 30 FTE serving population of ~171,000 SPD – 10 FTE serving population of ~63,000

Highlights of FY 19-20 Outcomes

FY 20-21 Proposed Budget Presentation

135 Search and Rescue missions in 2019 The Criminal Investigations Section (4 Detectives and 1 Sgt.) investigated 344 cases in 2019. Dispatch received 65,551 calls for service in 2019. That’s approximately 180 calls per day.

Lane County Jail Capacity Based Releases

Addition of levy funded jail beds Since passage of the levy in 2013, capacity based releases have drastically decreased. The added beds have allowed the jail to keep the most violent offenders in custody, including those charged with Measure 11 crimes and violent felonies.

Lane County Strategic Plan

FY 20-21 Proposed Budget Presentation Safe, Healthy County Vibrant Communities Robust Infrastructure Our People & Partnerships

The Sheriff’s Office provides emergency response to life safety events, investigations of felony persons crimes, a jail to hold pre-trial defendants and sentenced

• ffenders, Civil paper

service, Search and Rescue, and crime prevention programs to help combat preventable

• crimes. The Sheriff’s

Office continues to look for ways to provide proactive patrol services in addition to increasing our ability to respond to all calls for service, all of which would contribute to the safety of Lane County. The Sheriff’s Office is committed to providing public safety services to help make communities

• safer. Adequate law

enforcement can contribute to a higher quality of life for community members. Continuing to maintain current jail beds, adding patrol services, and increasing investigative services to include property crimes may assist in drawing in new businesses and families to Lane County. The Sheriff’s Office runs an alternative to jail program called the Sheriff’s Work Crew which resides in the Defendant Offender Management

• Center. Inmates assigned

to serve their sentences in this program assist in improving the condition of public lands and facilities by serving on daily work crews that perform a variety of services including litter pickup and invasive species removal. The Sheriff’s Office partners with a wide variety of public and private entities to provide a myriad of services to Lane County residents and visitors. These partnerships allow us to serve our community members more thoroughly and with greater resources than the Sheriff’s Office could provide alone.
