DEPARTMENT MESSAGE

ARVIN POLICE DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT
This year has been full of challenges and growth for our police department and community.

Our officers answered every call for help with courage, compassion and stood in harm’s way to keep Arvin Safe. We have made some significant changes to the police department, bringing us to the 21st century of policing model. Without a strong departmental team that openly welcomed and embraced the changes, we would not be where we are today.

Furthermore, the accomplishment of these goals is a direct testament of the support that we receive from the city council and city manager.

It is the mission of the Arvin Police Department to provide service with honor and respect, to protect life, to enforce laws, and to perform our duties in partnership with the community thereby increasing the quality of life for the entire Arvin community.

7.A.a
Attachment: Arvin Police Department Statistics and Council Presentation_032823 (Arvin Police Department Annual Report – 2020 – 2022 Stats) Through a collaborative effort, the department
members identified core values. For the first time in the department’s history, we have chosen 5 core values that will guide the department and show the community the
caliber of staff it has that protects and serves them daily.

“Community First” that is written on all of our police
vehicles. The department recently updated all of the
vehicle decals and markings. Along with this project,
we also put into service a new badge and patch design
reflective of the community we serve. This shows our
department’s renewed commitment to accountability,
transparency, and community engagement. With the
new patch and badge design, you will see that both
mirror each other and have the City of Arvin seal
incorporated in them. The older badge and patch
design have since been retired.

7.A.a
Attachment: Arvin Police Department Statistics and Council Presentation_032823 (Arvin Police Department Annual Report – 2020 – 2022 Stats) Providing frontline police services remains the priority and the core function of the Arvin Police Department. Patrol officers provide police services to every member of the community to make Arvin a safer city.

This year, we saw a record number of arrests for illegal weapons and numerous Narcan deployments to reverse overdoses. One major change within the patrol division is moving to the team policing concept. Each officer now works with the same dispatcher and supervisor during their work week. This adds to the continuity of services provided through better communication and no gaps for service.

PATROL

DIVISION

7.A.a
Attachment: Arvin Police Department Statistics and Council Presentation_032823 (Arvin Police Department Annual Report – 2020 – 2022 Stats) Our public safety dispatchers are Arvin Police Department’s backbone and pillar. This division has handled and or was assigned in excess of 15,791 incidents. All 911 calls were answered and handled in under 10 seconds.

The dispatch center also went through a makeover as well, bringing the dispatch consoles to industry standards. The dispatchers transitioned to 12-hour shifts, adding to their wellness.

COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION

7.A.a
Attachment: Arvin Police Department Statistics and Council Presentation_032823 (Arvin Police Department Annual Report – 2020 – 2022 Stats) The records division plays a crucial role within the police department.

This division handles all records requests and is responsible for seeing that records are accurate and complete. Our records division is overseen by a records supervisor who handles all records requests, interagency reporting requests, and acts as a liaison between the courts and the police department. The records supervisor assists our officers with getting court packets prepared, citations processed and assists the community with records requests. Our department this year went away from UCR reporting which collected 8 part I offense crimes to NIBRS who collects 28 categories for offenses.

RECORDS

DIVISION

7.A.a
Attachment: Arvin Police Department Statistics and Council Presentation_032823 (Arvin Police Department Annual Report – 2020 – 2022 Stats) The department has a Property and Evidence Technician
who oversees all division matters. This division plays an important role in managing and safeguarding the property and evidence collected during police investigations.

This division also ensures that the chain of custody and protection of evidence is followed and maintained. There are currently in excess of over 14,000 pieces of evidence held in the property and evidence room.

PROPERTY

AND EVIDENCE

DIVISION

7.A.a
Attachment: Arvin Police Department Statistics and Council Presentation_032823 (Arvin Police Department Annual Report – 2020 – 2022 Stats) The investigations division of the police
department is currently comprised of a
detective sergeant. This division is essential in
maintaining public safety, building community
relations, and managing resources. The work
of this unit is critical in ensuring that justice is
served, and investigations are closed out and
adjudicated.

INVESTIGATIONS

DIVISION

7.A.a
Attachment: Arvin Police Department Statistics and Council Presentation_032823 (Arvin Police Department Annual Report – 2020 – 2022 Stats) The animal control division is comprised
of two animal control officers that now,
for the first time in the city’s history, cover
7 days a week, 10 hours a day. This now
allows for community members to utilize
the services provided by this division more
frequently.

ANIMAL CONTROL

DIVISION

7.A.a
Attachment: Arvin Police Department Statistics and Council Presentation_032823 (Arvin Police Department Annual Report – 2020 – 2022 Stats) With the help of technology, our department
can now gather more data, analyze it quickly
and respond to incidents faster. This has led
to a reduction in crime rates and an increase
in public safety. Body Worn and Fleet cameras
have become an invaluable tool for our
department, helping to increase transparency,
accountability and trust between the police
department and the community we serve.

TECHNOLOGY

ENHANCEMENTS

7.A.a
Attachment: Arvin Police Department Statistics and Council Presentation_032823 (Arvin Police Department Annual Report – 2020 – 2022 Stats) The Arvin Police department
conducted the first ever Santa Sleigh
and Stuff a Cop Car Event during the
winter holiday season. Community
outreach and involvement is a critical
component of effective policing.

It helps to build trust, improve
community relations, prevent crime,
enhance public safety, and promote
diversity and inclusivity.

IN CLOSING
I am immensely proud of the men and women of our police department, which have been working tirelessly to keep our community safe. Our officers have continued to provide exceptional service and have demonstrated their commitment to protecting and serving the City of Arvin.

I am also proud of the progress we have made in building trust and positive relationships with the members of our community. We understand that we cannot do this work alone, and we are committed to working collaboratively with community members to address the issues that impact us all.

In conclusion, I want to thank the city council, city staff, city manager, and all members of our community for their support of the police department. We will continue to work diligently to maintain the highest standards of excellence and to ensure that our Arvin remains a safe and secure place to live, work, and play.

Sincerely,
Alex Ghazalpour
