While the parks and sandy beaches of the City of Edmonds are welcoming on
these hot and humid days, there is far more to be discovered in this bustling
little town. In Uptown Edmonds, in the vicinity of Highway 99 and what the

Edmonds Police
2023 Budget
Decision Package # 12
29
Decision Package: 410-23002 - Police Dept. Professional Staff Budge
► Establish additional police support positions that will assist in how
patrol officers support the Edmonds community.
► This decision package establishes the following full-time position:
► Administrative Staff Assistant
Decision Package 12 30
The City of Edmonds population and demand for services has
increased over the years causing a strain on the existing
professional staff members at the police department.
Often, officers are added without the commensurate administrate and
support staff, which increases the burden on commissioned officers and
affects morale on the administrative side of the house (as well as customer
response time).
The police department's commissioned staff is growing to
address the community's desired goals and service levels; the
support staff needs to grow as well to adequately support the
department goals.
With the addition of a mid -level management team (three
commanders) and filling both Assistant Chief's positions,
the need for another full-time administrative support is necessary.
The current environment has 1.5 FTE administrative
positions supporting a department of over 70 staff members.
Decision Package 13 31
Decision Package: 410-23007 - Expansion of PD Criminal
Investigations Division
► Three subsets of this decision package will be discussed. They are
as follows:
► 1) Add two Problem Solving Emphasis Detectives
► 2) Add one full-time Crime Analyst
► 3) Add equipment for Detectives and Problem -Solving Team
Decision Package # 13 32
The Criminal Investigations Division (CID) plays a key role in
the police department's ability to deliver superior law
enforcement service to the Edmonds community.
It is crucial that adequate staffing, systems and
technology are in place to conduct thorough criminal
investigations, problem solving projects, follow-up
investigation, and support to the City's Human Services
Division.
This CID unit is responsible for taking a proactive
approach to detecting and deterring crime by
conventional and unconventional means.
Decision Package # 13 33
This decision package creates and/or maintains the
following:
Problem Solving Emphasis Unit will focus on issues to
include, but not limited to prostitution, drugs, gang related
crimes, liquor law violations and organized retail crimes.
Work in plain clothes capacity to identify criminal activity
and formulate a response and solution to the problem.
Problem Solving Emphasis Detectives initiate crime reports
and assist both patrol officers and detectives with
surveillance and follow-up investigation as needed.
Decision Package # 13: 34
PS ET
kip, Problem Solving Emphasis Detectives assist patrol with
details that require plain clothes detective assets.
These details include, but are not limited to
burglary, vehicle thefts, prowls, assaults, and other
crimes against persons/property.
► These detectives also assist Edmonds Social Worker and
work in collaboration with the Edmonds Park
Department, Human Services Team to identify and
assist those community members needing support.
Decision Package # 13: 35
PS ET
► A team of two Problem Solving Emphasis detectives is
not conducive to achieve a high level of success in the
u n it's investigative outcomes.
► With two additional detectives the unit will consist of
four detectives, which is more amenable to the
workload, especially considering the community
concerns on Highway 99.
► This team would also have the capabilities to work as
liaisons to Human Services, with the goal of building a
community problem solving emphasis team.
Crime Analysis
Ability to identify crime trends
Using analytics, the Crime Analyst
can recognize possible
preventative community solutions
and assist officers in their
deployment
Ability to track offenders across
jurisdictions
Ability to generate crime trend
reports, compile data in an

Decision Package # 13: 41
Equipment
Purchase of investigative equipment for the Detective
Unit and Problem -Solving Emphasis Team. Most of
the decision package is for the Cellebrite software
package used to complete cell phone forensics.
Training costs and yearly software license
fees are included.
Another share of the package is for the GeoTime cell
phone data analysis software.
Undercover equipment for the Problem -Solving
Emphasis Team including Bluetooth radio equipment
and vehicle surveillance cameras.
Decision Package # 13: 42
Equipment I
F Technology, and in particular cell phones, have
become a commonly used, everyday device for the
majority of society.
We continue to see a growing need for cell phone
forensics in law enforcement investigations.
Virtually every investigation includes the possibility
that the suspect used a cell phone in the
commission of a crime (text messages, phone calls,
mapping, etc.).
We currently have no way of performing this portion
of an investigation and cell phones require being
sent out for processing which is costly ($2,300 2020
standard unlock fee per phone).
Decision Package # 13: 43
Equipment
Very few agencies currently have access to this equipment
on a local level.
Outsourcing this to the state crime laboratory or
independent laboratory often leads to such long lag times
for processing that by the time we get anything back, the
case is past the point of charging.
The Problem -Solving Emphasis Team is shifting their focus
from primarily narcotics related investigations to suspect
apprehension and surveillance in assistance to Patrol and
the Detective Unit.
► The equipment requested will bolster their ability to
covertly monitor the movements of dangerous felony
suspects as part of the investigative process.
Decision Package # 13: as
Equipment I
Below is a list of specialty equipment for the Problem -
Solving Emphasis Team and Detective Unit:
IP Camera ($2000) - cheaper alternative to pole cameras
They allow for remote monitoring via the web
Vehicle GPS trackers (Covert -Track, $275 each)
Bluetooth radio equipment (Motorola $1200 each)
Covert communications (Intrepid Response, subscription based) —

7' Decision Package 14
46
Decision Package: 410-23005 - Police Department - Patrol Support
► This project adds a new patrol district to our current three district
configuration.
► Doing this requires adding a patrol officer to all four patrol teams
for 24/7 coverage in the new district.
► An additional 24/7 position adds one officer to each squad and
two in relief for a total of six new officers.
► Satellite Office (Highway 99) Full Time Officer
Decision Package # 14: 47
Patrol District
A study of calls for service was conducted and the distribution of calls
across the designated districts in the city needs
re -visiting.
Call volumes in certain geographic areas of the city have increased
demonstrating the need to adjust the alignment of district boundaries
and create a new district for optimal service delivery and response
times.
► Creating a new district necessitates increasing the staffing of all four
patrol squads by one officer for 24/7 coverage.
No. Current sergeant allocations have sufficient capacity to absorb
supervisor responsibilities for these new positions.
► The new patrol district will bring the City of Edmonds up to more
reasonable staffing norms and will allow the Highway 99 corridor to be
split into two distinct areas, creating more ownership and presence
needed for community engagement and patrol district integrity.
lb- It will be important for the city to keep population and business growth
in mind as the city redevelops the Highway 99 corridor.

Decision Package: 410-23004 - Police Dept. - Nine New Patrol Cars
► Acquire nine patrol vehicles
Decision Package # 15: Cars 52
► Edmonds PD recently experienced an officer involved shooting
incident that exposed a weakness in our vehicle fleet.
Due to the nature of the serious critical incident, and recent
legislation that requires an outside investigative entity, the
investigation process rendered all the patrol vehicles that responded
to that call unavailable for quite some time.
* During this time, we were able to recall off -duty officers to work and
continue to deliver police services for the rest of the community,
however they had few, to no patrol cars to work out of.
Consequently, any vehicle that could be found, including non -patrol
outfitted vehicles were used for patrol duties which impacted
operations due to missing equipment.
► This issue was discussed with the Mayor, and his approval was
granted to request purchase of nine additional patrol cars in the
budget so this scenario, and other operation deficiencies related to
response, would not be repeated. Z_
Police patrol vehicles and motorcycle
replacement schedules 53
► Edmonds: Pool patrol vehicles 5 years/ 125k miles
(average 25K miles per year) .
-Motorcycles 6 years
► Lynnwood: Pool patrol vehicles 4 years/ 1 OOK miles
Motorcycles 4 years
► Shoreline/ King County: assigned vehicle patrol vehicles
4-8 years/ 11 OK miles
Motorcycles 5 years/60K miles
► Bothell: Pool patrol vehicles 5 years/75-100K depends
on condition
Motorcycles 4 years
► Mukilteo: Pool patrol vehicles 4 years/50K miles, they
move them to detectives, staff
No motorcycles
► Marysville: assigned vehicle patrol vehicles 10
years/ 120K miles (average of 12K miles per year)
No motorcycles
► National Association of Fleet Administrators (NAFA) :
Patrol vehicles 5 years or 95K miles
Motorcvcles 4 vears or 75K miles

Edmonds PD vehicle end milage is already higher than
any neighboring jurisdiction and the National
Association of Fleet's recommendation.
Police Vehicle "Assigned Vehicle" Study 55
The most comprehensive study regarding assigned vehicles
was done by the City of Tacoma, Washington.
They used the outside consulting firm of Mercury Associates. The
lead analyst was a professor from the University of North Carolina.
The consultant's report compared a fleet of 30 assigned
vehicles to a pool of 34 vehicles.
The study covered an 8-year accounting period.
In this study they found the following:
1. Operating costs per mile were 30% lower for assigned rather
than pooled vehicles.
2. Pooled vehicles had to be replaced every 20 to 26 months
compared to an average of 60 months for assigned vehicles.
Police Vehicle
56
"Assigned Vehicle" Study
3. Officers who have assigned vehicles typically render a
significant mount of service while "off -duty".
4. One of the most significant reductions for assigned vehicles
was due to lower accident and damage repair costs.
The City of Tacoma found that a pool vehicle averaged $8,400 in
damage, while an assigned vehicle required only $1,375 per year.
Over the 8-year period, a fully assigned vehicle fleet would
generate a total of $189,000 in accident and damage work
compared to $365,000 for a full fleet of pooled vehicles.
Police Vehicle
57
"Assigned Vehicle" Study
5. On average when using a pool car, it took between 28 to 40
minutes per day to check-out, load, and/or unload their pool
car.
On average a pool car was unavailable 5.6 days a month due to
repairs, lost keys, etc.
Changing to another car averaged 5 minutes, thereby adding an
additional eight minutes per day to non -productive time.
This equates to approximately 13 non -productive days per year.
This does not include the paid time officers may take to get into
uniform once they arrive at the station.
Police Vehicle
"Assigned Vehicle" Study
6. The City of Tacoma found it was better for officers to
have assigned vehicles.
The consultants provided a neighborhood questionnaire
and survey to all of Tacoma's neighborhood councils
regarding assigned vehicles. The responses indicated
they believed the two most important benefits of an
Assigned Vehicle program were:
Quicker response
Crime deterrent
When asked whether officers should have assigned or
pooled vehicles, only 16% said they were opposed to
assigned vehicles.
Respondents believed that both the officers and the city
benefited more or less equally with assigned vehicles
Police Vehicle
59
"Assigned Vehicle" Study
A subsequent study confirmed these findings that the
city was better off by assigning vehicles.
In summarizing the Tacoma study, an assigned
vehicle program is much more advantageous to the
city than a pool vehicle.
The main reason, in addition to less maintenance, is
the time saved by each officer, each day in not
having to check-out and check -in pool vehicles and
transfer his or her gear.
The cost of officer time is relatively high compared to
cost of vehicles.
Police Vehicle
"Assigned Vehicle" Study
For example, the cost of purchasing a timing belt for
replacement in a personal car is a small, as
compared to the labor cost of installing it.
The same principle pertains to police vehicles.
Equipment and maintenance costs of police cars
are a small fraction of the salaries of the police
officers who drive them.
The study concludes that overall, the city saves
about $1.4 million per year with the assigned
vehicle program.
Other Assigned Vehicle 61
Studies
► Hampton Virginia Police Department did a study that
supported their assigned vehicle fleet program.
Their study showed that both maintenance costs and
operating costs were lower for the assigned vehicle
cars versus pool cars.
The maintenance cost of assigned vehicle cars was
$0.16 per mile versus $0.19 per mile on pool cars, a
16% savings.
They also found a 15% saving in operating costs,
$0.17 per mile versus $0.20 per mile for pool cars.
This study also found fewer accidents occurred with
assigned vehicles.
Other Assigned Vehicle 62
Studies
An article in Law and Order magazine acknowledges
that initial startup costs can be a concern, but net
savings occur due to lower maintenance costs and
extended vehicle life.
It also notes that the cost of the increase in fleet size
begins to be offset by lower maintenance cost by the
second year.
In the fourth year, vehicle replacement costs drop
significantly because the assigned vehicle cars
accumulate fewer miles.
Other Assigned Vehicle 63
Studies
In a memo to the City Commission of Stillwater,
Oklahoma regarding police assigned vehicle units, it
was noted that assigned vehicle unit cost vary from
10.4 cents per mile for the chief to15.1 cents for a K-9
unit.
The cost of a pool car was 19.9 cents per mile.
The study also noted with assigned vehicle units,

Studies
The Daytona Beach Police Department operates a fleet of 340
vehicles.
The fleet manager faced with cost cuts believes one of his
biggest successes has been implementing an assigned
vehicle fleet program.
Maintenance and repair costs have gone down on the
assigned vehicles.
Officers take better care of the vehicles than pool cars,
because no one else can be blamed for poor care.
They also don't run the vehicles as hard, which is better for
fuel mileage.

a regular basis, answer up to damage, and generally take
more pride. "
