MISSION STATEMENT
We are committed to provide professional police services in
partnership with the community to promote safety and
enhance our quality of life, while holding ourselves to the
highest standards of performance and ethics.

GOALS


Improve law enforcement tactics by creating greater efficiency in patrol, rapid
response to calls for service, and retrospective investigation.



Recognizing the importance and limitations of reactive police procedures, it is the
aim of the Department to establish and improve its proactive stance towards law
enforcement. Proactive law enforcement is a desirable service to the community that
is a long-term ambition with qualities that do not have immediate quantitative
measurements.



A police department’s policies and procedures should reflect and be consistent with
the best values of the organization. The policies can have a profound effect on the
department and community. Therefore, the Department is committed to establishing,
maintaining, and periodically reviewing its policies so that they reflect the values and
beliefs of the organization. This will assist the Department in its commitment to
professional excellence and cost-effective operation.



With the understanding that people are the police department’s most important and
valuable resource, the Eagar Police Department is committed to a high standard of
recruitment of qualified and dedicated personnel, supplying quality training, and
equipping the employees with the best and most affordable tools available to law
enforcement.

the 127 calls, 31 were submitted for criminal prosecution. (In 2009 there were 137 reported

Of the 127 domestic violence incidents in 2010: alcohol use was noted in 23, drug use was
noted in 6, weapons were used in 2 and no weapon/alcohol/drug use noted in 96.
Of the 137 domestic violence incidents in 2009: alcohol use was noted in 18, drug use was noted
in 3, weapons were used in 1 and no weapon/alcohol/drug use noted in 115.
Of the 127 domestic violence incidents in 2010, minors were present at the scene in 60 of those
calls. (In 2009 minors were present at the scene in 40 of the 137 domestic violence incidents.)
It is a proven statistic that children raised in an abusive atmosphere are more likely to be
abusive as adults. Due to the frequent nature of children present at domestic violence scenes,
and the severe impact this has on these children, the Eagar Police Department employs the
following method to combat this trend. Suspects that are arrested for domestic violence in a
home with children present at the time the domestic violence occurs, are charged with one
count of Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor for each child. This charge is in
addition to any other criminal charges that come from the incident.

VI – SPECIFIC DEPARTMENT INFORMATION
A) - CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION
Detective Mike Sweetser is assigned to Criminal Investigations for the Eagar Police
Department. Lieutenant Fred Frazier supervises him. The detective is responsible for the
follow-up investigation of all assigned cases, victim recontacts, crime analysis, liaison to the
Apache County Drug Free Alliance (ACDFA), supervisor of the Civilian Volunteer Patrol
(CVP) program and covering patrol shifts for officers on vacation/sick time/training or when
short of staff.
All investigative cases submitted by officers are reviewed by the Lieutenant and assigned a
standard solvability factor. This solvability factor provides a quantifiable number indicating
the possible success of investigating a case. This allows the department to use its resources in
the most efficient manner possible.
If the solvability factor falls below a set threshold, the Lieutenant administratively inactivates
the case. The case may be opened at a later time if a lead is developed.
If the solvability factor exceeds the set threshold, the case is assigned to the detective for
active investigation. The Lieutenant conducts weekly case reviews with the detective to ensure
that the investigations are being conducted in a timely manner. To provide timely and
efficient investigative services to the citizens, a goal has been set to attempt to expeditiously
close all active cases within thirty days of assignment.
In 2010 a total of (41) cases were assigned to the detective for follow-up investigation. (This is
a 9% decrease compared to the 45 cases assigned in 2009.) During the months of March to
May Detective Sweetser was assigned to complete the remainder of the school year as the
SRO. Patrol officers were assigned the investigative follow up for their cases during this
period. The breakdown of the types and number of cases assigned to criminal investigation
are as follows:

B) - SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER
The School Resource Officer (SRO) position is a grant-funded position through the Arizona
Department of Education. The grant provides for a police officer to work within the school
district, primarily the Round Valley High School. Our school community would be greatly
affected if we did not have the School Resource Officer position.
Officer Bob Suggs was assigned as the School Resource Officer (SRO) at the high school
starting in August. Lieutenant Fred Frazier is his supervisor. The School Resource Officer is
responsible for the investigation of all campus-based crime, enforcement of campus parking,
providing in-service training to school staff when necessary, truancy, security for games and
dances and problem solving with school staff. One of Officer Suggs’ main duties, under the
grant, is to teach law related classes. Officer Suggs instructs students in classes to provide a
better understanding of law enforcement, the court system, and individual rights.

SRO

During 2010, Officer Suggs responded to 43 calls for police service on campus. This
represents 86% of the 50 calls received for campus-based calls in 2010. Patrol officers
handled the additional 7 calls. The calls Officer Suggs handles at the school leaves the
dayshift officer free to focus on other calls and issues in the Town of Eagar. The presence of
an officer on the school campus has a deterrence effect on illegal activities and keeps the
police department up to date concerning any evolving issues. During the summer months,
Officer Suggs is assigned to the patrol division to assist the department with the increased
need for law enforcement during that time of year.

15

C) - ANIMAL CONTROL
In 2010 Animal Control Officer, Rob Stonestreet, staffed the animal control division of the
police department. He started working on March 1st. Lieutenant Fred Frazier supervises
him. The Animal Control Officer is charged with the responsibility of enforcing all municipal
laws and ordinances as they relate to animal control and enforcement. The Animal Control
Officer also assists the patrol officer with tasks such as traffic control for funerals, parades,
scene security and accidents.
During 2010, there were 1059 animal control calls. (This is a 14% increase compared to the 929
calls in 2009.) The animal control officer handled 913 of those calls. Patrol officers handled
the additional 146 calls. The following are the detailed statistics for the animal control
division for 2010:

and juvenile prisoner transports, assisting with booths at community events, passing out
information flyers in neighborhoods, tagging abandon vehicles, contacting residence owners
to post house numbers, reporting parking violations, etc. The list continues to grow as we find
new ways the CVP can help the police department.
In 2010 the CVP members completed 2,420 hours of volunteer service working for the police
department. This is an increase of 22% compared to the 1,983 hours completed in 2009.

VII - EMPLOYEE TRAINING
Training has often been cited as one of the most important responsibilities in any law
enforcement agency. Training serves three broad purposes. First, well-trained officers are
generally better prepared to act decisively and correctly in a broad spectrum of situations.
Second, training results in greater productivity and effectiveness. Third, it fosters
cooperation and unity of purpose. Furthermore, agencies are being held legally accountable
for the actions of their personnel and for failing to provide initial or remedial training. The
department recognizes the importance of training and is committed to providing the best
training available to all personnel.
The State of Arizona Peace Officers Training and Standards (AZPOST) Board stipulates that
officers receive at least eight hours of advanced officer training a year. There is an additional
mandate of one firearms qualification shoot and one target identification and discrimination
shoot a year. The Eagar Police Department attempts, when possible, to qualify as often as
possible (up to four times a year) so as to maintain good weapons proficiency skills.
The Eagar Police Department received a total of 559 hours of training in 2010. (This is a 37%
increase compared to the 353 hours of training in 2009.
The training for departmental personnel was in the following areas during 2010:

VIII – ADDENDUM
II – 2010 ANNUAL REVIEW (Page 6)
September 14th Officer Dean Walker resigned from the Eagar Police Department.
In 2010 the Eagar Police Department was plagued once more with officer shortages and
injuries. The officers of Eagar PD again filled in to cover the extra duties and shifts. We are
looking forward to some relief in 2011.
Officer Taylor was on Administrative Leave beginning February 11th until he resigned
on March 8, 2010. His position was not filled until July 12, 2011 by an Arizona Certified
Police Officer. (This was 5 months EPD was without an officer in this position)
Officer Walker was out on injuries from January 13th to March 31, 2010 and again on
July 3rd to August 13, 2010. He resigned on September 14th and his position was not filled
until February 6, 2011. This was by a person hired to go to the police academy and he
will not graduate until June 9, 2011. (This was 6 months EPD was without an officer in
this position in 2010. We will be 5 more months without an officer in this position in
2011.)

V - DEPARTMENTAL STATISTICS (Page 10)
A) - ITEMIZED CALLS FOR SERVICE
During 2010, the Eagar Police Department responded to

4,864 calls for service and 696

documented reports were filed. (This is 43% increase over the 2,763 calls for service in 2009.)
The 4,864 call for service number was received from the Apache County Computer Aided
Dispatch (CAD) records. This information was requested on February 7, 2011 and I did not
receive it until March 7, 2011. I completed the 2010 Executive Summary without the CAD
records number.
The number of calls for service that I used was from the Eagar PD “Call Log Book”. The
officers record their calls and incidents in the EPD Call Log Book so an accessible record is
available to pass on information to the other officers at EPD. Unfortunately the Call Log
Book is not as accurate as the CAD records because officers do not enter all calls. The reason
they do not enter all the calls is they get too busy and they forget.
The CAD records are more accurate because the dispatcher records every incident as it is
called into their office or that is called in over the radio. (Citizens call for police action and
police officers self-initiate police action.) So the 4,864 calls for service recorded by the Apache
County Dispatch CAD represent any request for police service, any action initiated by the
police department or any agency assistance provided by the police department. (Basically, if a
police department employee had to take an action concerning crime, assistance, keeping the
peace or rendering aid it was recorded on the CAD records.)
