Police Activity Reporting
On Thursday, September 20, I met with Information Analyst Trina Cook in the Police
Department. At the Committee's request, Trina and I met to discuss the types of statistical
police activity reports that she can provide on a quarterly basis. Committee Chair Haggerton
asked for basic, yet informative reports that could be created without placing significant
hardship (time or financial) on Police staff.
At the Monday, October 1, Finance and Safety Committee meeting Ms. Cook will present a
sample of the information that we discussed based on Tukwila police activity for the second
quarter of 2007. This information will include:
. Calls for Service
. Uniform Crime Reports Part 1 Crimes
. Arrest Information
Ms. Cook will also bring the quarterly report she submits to the Mayor's Office as well as
samples of the Police Department's Press Log. I believe you will find the above information
to be a balance of improved information sharing as well as reasonable expenditure of staff
time.
If at s:>me point, Council requeS:s the availability of more detailed, neighborhood-level day-to-
day data, Ms Cook can recommend an automated law enforcement reporting and s:atis:ical
s:>ftware product. This product would provide public access to certain information as well as
police department functionality. An initial and annual uS3ge fee would be required for
implementation of this product.
