IACP, Motorola Solutions Booth # 1100 – Winners of the
19th annual IACP/Motorola Webber Seavey Award for Quality in Law
Enforcement were honored today by Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI)
and the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP). Law
enforcement agencies were honored from around the world for violent
crime prevention, motorists’ assistance programs and crime
analysis.
KEY FACTS
- Baltimore County Police
Department, (BCoPD) Baltimore, is being recognized for
the “Violence Prevention Initiative” program which is
helping to reduce homicides by 16 percent and leading to a 20
percent drop in non-fatal shootings since the initiative was
launched two years ago.
- The BCoPD program supports the
state’s efforts in holding violent offenders accountable through
heightened supervision. The “Violence Prevention Initiative”
also helps offenders successfully re-integrate into the community
when they are released.
- The Everett Police Department,
Everett, Wash. developed “Project Impact,” which is turn-key
crime prevention software that allows law enforcement agencies to
implement customized educational materials in their communities at
no cost. The software gives users:
- Templates to initiate or update crime
prevention programs,
- A universal method for all agencies to
implement educational programs, and
- The ability to implement customized
educational materials within user’s communities.
- Since “Project Impact” began in
September 2008, the Everett Police Department reports that
127 agencies in 27 states and 3 countries are using the
software.
- Las Vegas Metropolitan Police
Department (LVMPD) set a goal to reduce gang-related
crime in targeted neighborhoods. They formed the “Safe
Village” initiative that incorporates well-established federal
delinquency prevention strategies to combat crime and increase
quality of life for residents.
- LVMPD saw homicides decrease by
40 percent and gun-related crimes drop from 363 to 205 over a
seven-month period during the first year of the “Safe
Village” program.
- The Webber Seavey Award is named for
IACP’s first president.
- This year’s award attracted a field of
nearly 50 applicants from around the world sharing their positive
experiences with peers in the law enforcement community.
SUPPORTING QUOTES
Mark A. Marshall, IACP president and police chief of
Smithfield Police Department, Smithfield, Va.
“We congratulate each of the winners of this year’s
IACP/Motorola Webber Seavey Award for Quality in Law Enforcement.
Each agency has gone above and beyond the traditional policing that
people are accustomed to in their communities, and each has
provided exemplary initiatives for their peers to emulate. It is
our pleasure to recognize these winners and their departments for
their outstanding efforts. We look forward to sharing these
programs with our fellow public safety agencies around the world
because that is the ultimate goal of this program.”
Jim Welch, senior vice president, Motorola Solutions
“These men and women that have dedicated their lives to develop
innovative ideas to improve the public safety of their communities
deserve to be recognized for these outstanding efforts. Motorola
Solutions applauds their work and salutes each of the winning
agencies for their innovation and superior abilities.”
James W. Johnson, chief, Baltimore County Police Department,
Baltimore
“The Violence Prevention Initiative has taken the supervision of
those arrested for first degree murders to a new level. These
offenders were already under the supervision of the Division of
Parole and Probation, but changes needed to be made for heightened
supervision. A multi-department team was developed to address areas
like offender identification, tracking, case management and warrant
service. We have seen a significant drop in violent crime and look
to continue that trend.”
Kathy Atwood, chief, Everett Police Department, Everett,
Wash.
“Communicating with residents was the main focus of Project
Impact. We wanted to help the community understand the reality of
the crime rates in Everett and provide ways they could help to
prevent crime through education. The perception was that there were
rising crime rates when most had actually decreased according to
crime data. We are very proud that agencies around the world have
adopted the free software and have customized the educational
material for their communities.”
Gary Schofield, deputy chief, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police
Department, Las Vegas
“The large-scale approach to community policing was based on
partnerships with multiple agencies as well as community- and
faith-based organizations. Safe Village brought all the
stakeholders together to take part in the planning and
implementation of this program. The approach was successful in
reducing gang-related crime in targeted neighborhoods by disrupting
the culture of violence that affects youths caught up in dangerous
street life.”
