CHIEF OF POLICE
It is with great pleasure that I present the 2022 Rocklin Police Department Annual Report. My goal with this report is to highlight the exemplary service that our employees provide on a daily basis. Having just concluded my first year as your Chief of Police, there are a few things that I am happy to report out to you. First, the Rocklin Police Department takes tremendous pride in providing the public with outstanding police services. Our organization hires, trains, and properly equips some of the finest professionals in the industry. We have, and will maintain, key relationships with other members of “Team Rocklin”, the Rocklin Unified School District, Sierra College, local businesses, faith-based organizations and many others. We value our employees and prioritize their ongoing development at a very high level. Our expectation is that all RPD employees understand the importance of public service, and that their service reflects the values of this Department.
In 2023, you will see a continued focus on exemplary service. You will see RPD test and implement new technologies to ensure that we are conducting ourselves in the safest, most effective and efficient manner possible. You will see a continued effort to interact with our community whether through in person meetings, or electronically via social media. I believe that it is these community relationships that can make a great department even better. We will routinely audit our practices to ensure that we remain, “Committed to serve, protect and promote a safe community.”
A MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF
Leading the men and women of the
Rocklin Police Department this past year
has been one of the most rewarding
professional experiences that I have ever
had. Thank you for the privilege of
serving this amazing community.

SUPPLEMENTS
In early 2022, the Department transitioned to the National (California) Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS/CIBRS) from the previous Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) crime data reporting. NIBRS expands and improves the overall quality of crime data collected by law enforcement and gives a more accurate picture of crime occurring in the City. NIBRS
captures details on each single crime incident—as well as on separate offenses within the same incident—including data on victims, known offenders, relationships between victims and offenders, arrestees, and property involved in crimes.
Unlike data reported through the UCR Program’s traditional Summary Reporting System (SRS)—an aggregate monthly
tally of crimes—NIBRS goes much deeper because of its
ability to provide circumstances and context for crimes like location, time of day, and whether the incident was cleared.
This major change required patrol to learn a new way of report writing and crime classification.

• Food insecurity support
• Emergency shelter/housing coordination
• Case/care management
• Assessment for substance use disorders
OUTREACH SERVICES and REFERRALS
The HOT team also worked with City Code Enforcement and Placer Health and Human Services to address unhoused campsites and blight to create opportunities for homeless individuals to engage in services by connecting them with resources for finances, housing, medical care, VA services, etc.. In total, 78 sites were cleared of debris this year.

TRAFFIC
The department was awarded grant funds through the National Highway Traffic Safety Association and the California Office of Traffic Safety, which allowed the traffic unit and patrol teams to perform focused enforcement, including saturations and checkpoints targeting DUI drivers. Numerous contacts, citations, and arrests were made during those operations.
In an effort to streamline the citation process, the department moved towards an electronic citation (e-cite) mobile solution. Hand held electronic citation devices allow for information collection in the field and eliminate data entry errors by automatically uploading citation data directly to the court and the department’s records management system, saving time and money on traffic stops. E-cite devices are currently utilized by traffic but will expand to patrol in the future.

INVESTIGATED
This year, the investigations unit partnered with the Sacramento Valley Hi-Tech Crimes Task Force and the Sacramento Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force to aid in the investigation and prosecution of internet sexual predators, high technology and identity theft crimes involving computers.
Another tool investigations obtained through training is the DataPilot mobile forensic tool for use in investigations with digital evidence. DataPilot allows for the immediate real-time download and triage of cellular forensic data in the field.
GENERAL INVESTIGATIONS
CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION (CSI)
As part of the Investigations team, CSI acquired a Trimble 3D laser scanning device used for investigations, accident and crime scene reconstruction. The Trimble significantly increases productivity and reduces the amount of time needed to document and measure crime and major collision scenes.
The CSI team expanded to include 13 formally trained members.
During an investigation, a member of the CSI team
processed DNA evidence that led to the identification,
successful prosecution and conviction of a violent
offender.

PROPERTY
In November, the property and evidence unit began accepting HIDTA/TRIDENT property, which contributed to a 19% increase in total property received compared to the previous year.
The implementation and transition to the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) also created a significant change in the way property items are categorized, compared to the previously used Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) crime data reporting. 4,432

RECORDS
Records was also involved in the implementation of the traffic e-cites solution. The Records unit collaborated with traffic to facilitate the transfer of electronic data to the court and the department’s records management system, saving time and effort processing physical paper citations.
Records was also involved and affected by the transition to the National (California) Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS/CIBRS) from the previous Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) crime data reporting. Records worked diligently with patrol officers and other staff to update and conform to the new reporting standards required by this change.
Officers began submitting Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA) data, also known as stop-data, to be reported to the California Department of Justice. Records regularly reviews and transmits this data to the State.

YOUTH SERVICES
The department was awarded grant funds through the California Department of Justice, which funded additional youth education programs. Funds from the grant were used to pay for City decoy operations, and for outreach and education about the dangers of vaping and tobacco use. Officers regularly hosted special lunch events at the Middle Schools to engage with youth and distribute information. In conjunction with the grant, decoy operations were conducted at Rocklin establishments selling tobacco and vape products to check compliance with local, state, and federal laws.
The Rocklin Police Activities League began hosting events to further engage with youth outside of school hours. Events such as the Junior Police Academy, Hiking through Rocklin, CrossFit, dodgeball, and basketball open gym encouraged youth to keep active and foster community with their peers and the Police Department.
In July, two Junior Police Academies were well attended by Placer County 7th-9th graders. Cadets learned about different police units and aspects of modern policing.
