2011 ANNUAL REPORT Ronald G. Spike, Sheriff YATES COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE RONALD G. SPIKE, SHERIFF Public Safety Building - 227 Main Street Penn Yan, New York 14527-1720 Telephone: 315-536-4438 Web site: www.yatescountysheriff.org Email: [email protected] John C. Gleason Undersheriff Howard R. Davis, Jr. Chief Deputy March 30, 2012 PHONES: (315) area code Emergency 911 Dispatcher 536-4439 Fax 536-5191 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Administration 536-5172 Alternatives/Incar. 536-7173 Civil Division 536-5174 Court Security 536-5107 Criminal Division 536-5176 Jail Division 536-5175 Juvenile Division 536-5177 Marine Division 536-5526 Records Division 536-5178 Chairman H. Taylor Fitch Yates County Legislature Penn Yan, NY 14527 Dear Chairman et al: I herewith submit the 2011 ANNUAL REPORT for the Yates County Sheriff’s Office, as well as other areas this office has administrative oversight. Proudly we are currently accredited in law enforcement police services, 911 public safety answering point, court security operations, and the civil division. We anticipate jail operations in 2012. I thank you, the elected members of the Legislature for your support in most areas, other than some budget lines, and I especially thank the Public Safety Committee, under its Chairperson Donna Alexander. I also thank County Administrator/Budget Officer Sarah Purdy for her efforts. I also thank our administrative staff, our county police and peace officers, civilians, seasonal, and part-timers, and I especially thank the YCDSA and YCCOPS for our labor-management professional working relationship. Yet regretfully, it was disappointing to be less two patrol deputies as we went into 2012 with one and the other this spring as budget cuts, and the zero replacement of vehicles will also have a negative impact. These tribulations, as well as uncontrollable jail costs and narrow radio banding will be 2012 challenges. The infamous highlight in 2011 was the tragic mass casualty traffic accident on July 19 that claimed 6 Amish lives and actually involved all eight divisions/budgets that this office has administrative oversight. I personally was on the scene and as I said “it was horrific,” yet members of this agency both civilian and sworn as well as our fire and EMS personnel and hundreds of volunteers performed at a high level of synergy, and we made a vehicular homicide arrest. 2011 was very challenging in other ways with multiple rollover accidents including two garbage trucks, several accidents with entrapments, two gunshot suicides, a fatal fire, drowning in a farm pond and also in Seneca Lake, serious farming accidents with injury, armed stand off, heroin death investigation, lost hikers, double stabbing assault, gas leaks and power outages. Yet we implemented “Take-Back” drugs program, transitioned from NYSPIN to E-Justice, commenced transition from low band Fire/EMS to UHF radios, joined an interoperable communications consortium, implemented project Lifesaver, retired two K-9’s and replaced at no cost to county, sponsored a peace officer school, increased impounded dog fees, obtained no cost new patrol boat/motor, obtained a $30,000 jail video tele-conferencing grant, did major records archiving, improved courthouse training and quartermaster areas, the Chief Deputy, Howard Davis graduated from the FBI National Academy, we contemporized several policies, and we met the majority of our goals and objectives. We continue to feel that public safety is paramount, and we are the most visible part of county government operations that the people you and I serve county-wide will see or contact on a 24X7 basis. I am available for any questions or concerns. Thank you. Sincerely, Ron Spike Ronald G.

Our objective is to make Yates County a safe place in which to reside, work, visit and travel. “To the Citizens of Yates County: As your Sheriff I am honored to have served in this agency for forty-one years and as the Sheriff the past nineteen. To head an accredited law enforcement agency with well-trained professionals, understanding peace keeping, and public service fulfills me. Our most valuable asset is our employees and we pledge to improve ourselves through continued training and be accountable for our actions. We value human life and dignity of all people and will take whatever action is required to protect and serve them. We will uphold and defend the rights of all guaranteed under our state and U.S. constitution.

We strongly value partnerships and communications with our community. We realize that in holding public office leadership positions that public trust is vital Sheriff Ron Spike in both our professional and personal lives. I thank all the staff.” VALUES The Sheriff’s Office is a very diverse agency with over one-hundred full, part-time and seasonal employees that has a very strong full-service law enforcement presence throughout the county providing police patrol and special services including criminal investigations, youth and elderly community services, operating the county jail corrections facility, and providing court security, communications and civil process, as well as managing the single enhanced 911 Public Safety Dispatch Center for the county. It’s important to remember that the YCSO is the only county agency that is 24 hours x 7 days a week. EXECUTIVE STAFF 77th Anniversary Founded 1934 2 SHERIFF’S OFFICE BUDGETS The Office of Sheriff employs more than 100 sworn, civilian and part-time personnel. Employees are assigned to the agency’s Administration Bureau, which includes Management, Civil, Records, 911 Dispatch Communication Division, the Law Enforcement Bureau, which includes: Road Patrol, Criminal, Juvenile and special operations; and the Corrections Bureau which includes the Jail, and Court Security. The Office of Sheriff oversees eight actual county budgets, the most of any county agency. ATS Gretchen Galliher/ Kerry Brennan oversee budget operations. The actual budget spending for 2011 was $7,883,453. However, due to the 2011 revenue of $977,689 received by the Sheriff’s Office—in the form of state and federal aid, fees, charges to other county departments, fines and grants—the net cost to county taxpayers for Sheriff’s public safety (eight budgets) related services was $6,907,836.

These departments include, but are not limited to, the Yates County Sheriff, Yates County Office of Emergency Management, Emergency Medical Service, and the Yates County Highway Department. Also included are the 911 Dispatch Center located in the Public Safety Building, the Emergency Operations Center located in the basement of the County Office Complex, and eight tower sites located within and adjacent to Yates County. The Sr. Communications Mechanic is Andy Siwak. Major Projects Completed in 2011 • Completed installation of the UHF frequency (453.250) for Fire and EMS paging and also for transmitting and receiving on that frequency with radios. Received 7 of the 8 frequencies from FCC for Fire/EMS operations. Added receivers at both Angus Point Tower and Bluff Point Tower with new UHF antennas. Added a receiver and new UHF antenna at the PSB building for better coverage in and around the surrounding Penn Yan area. All three receivers installed were purchased from counties out of state no longer using UHF. Cost savings to the county of approximately $30,000. • Completed the transfer of EMS to the new UHF Fire/ EMS frequencies for dispatching and paging eliminating low band frequency 46.04. This was implemented April 1, 2011. Equipment used for the EMS low band frequency will be used for spare replacement parts to keep low band frequency 46.50 operational until all Fire/EMS departments change over to the UHF frequency. Deadline for the transfer of all departments to UHF by January 1, 2015. • Continued with the help of the “Site Visit Check List” to perform at all tower sites on a regular basis in between PM checks done on Maintenance Agreement Contract. • Continued the inventory of parts and testing of replacement parts at the old Sherman Hollow building that are used for spares as monies allow. More time is needed to complete that project. More out dated equipment has to be removed and disposed of. • Removed six hard wire phone lines from our Verizon Bill that were no longer connected to the PSB and the Sherman Hollow tower site, an approximate savings of $7500 per year. • Due to come “part-time” help, installs of patrol cars were completed in a timely manner. • Acquired software programming equipment to program portables and mobile radios at Communication Shop for LE, Fire and EMS, as well as for laptops. This will be used to be in compliance with the mandate of the narrow banding of radios required by FCC as of January 1, 2013. • For remote monitoring by PC, cell phone, and with cameras at certain locations, more features were added to the Alarm System at tower sites, such as: failures, loss of power, fire, low temperature, high temperature, etc., of the more major equipment. More alarm features will be added as time allows. • New portable radios, mobile radios, and pagers were ordered and programmed for some departments as money allowed it from their budgets or grants they received for the new UHF frequency. Will continue checking with different venders for best pricing and service. • Installation of all 11 new UHF Fire Department base station radios was completed. Each fire house is has the capability for using the new UHF frequencies. • Five new Sheriff Patrol Vehicles were completely installed. One new CID car, one new patrol boat, and a Tahoe for hauling the boats. Completed the installation of the UHF radio and antenna in the communications trailer. • Had dispatchers tour the Sherman Hollow Tower Site which is the secondary EOC that has been installed and is operational. • Inventoried Yates County Highway radios to check replacements for upgrading radios that will be in compliance with new FCC mandating of narrow banding. Some radios have been ordered for the trucks and one base station for the Highway Office building, but have not yet arrived. • Have been and continue to attend meetings in regards to a consortium established with other surrounding counties with the possibility of acquiring interoperability grant monies. 6 LAW ENFORCEMENT BUREAU ROAD PATROL DIVISION By Lt. Todd Sotir The Road Patrol Division is responsible for providing law enforcement services to the citizens and visitors of Yates County. This Division is the most visible unit within the ranks of the Sheriff’s Office. Under the supervision of shift Sergeants, Deputy Sheriffs patrol their assigned zones in marked patrol cars. They are responsible for maintaining public peace and order. Their duties include criminal investigation, accident investigation, community policing and crime prevention. Each Deputy Sheriff is assigned their own marked patrol car, which is equipped with such devices as a mobile laptop computer, radar unit, and rifle. Deputies are based out of the Public Safety Building in Penn Yan; however, there are two satellite locations that a Deputy Sheriff may access if necessary. Both of these stations are un-staffed, but you can call the Sheriff’s Office and a Deputy can meet with you at either the Dundee Office, which is located at 40 Seneca Street, Town of Starkey Town Hall, or the Middlesex Office at the Town of Middlesex Town Hall, corner of State Routes 245 and 364. Lt. Todd Sotir supervises this division. 2011 Vehicle Related Accidents TRAFFIC RELATED ACCIDENTS - 589 DEER-VEHICLE 276 PROPERTY DAMAGE 185 PERSONAL INJURY 74 ANIMAL-VEHICLE 19 HIT AND RUN 17 MOTORCYCLE 9 BOAT 2 FARM MISHAP 2 BICYCLE 2 FATAL (AUTO) 1 (6 deaths) ATV 1 SNOWMOBILE 1 TRAIN-VEHICLE 0 AIRPLANE 0 HORSE/BUGGY 0 PWC 0 CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DIVISION By Lt. Todd Sotir The Criminal Investigation Division (CID) makes up the investigative services unit of the Sheriff’s Office. There is a Senior Investigator, and three full-time Investigators assigned to this Division. These officers are responsible for handling felony and serious misdemeanor related crimes and follow-up investigations that will require substantial time and resources to investigate. Some of the crimes handled by this unit include: Burglaries, Arson, Sexual Assaults, Fraud and Computer Crimes, and assisting the Patrol Division as needed. Lt. Todd Sotir oversees this division. CID members have each received specialized training in such areas as Arson, Homicide, Narcotics, Welfare Fraud, White Collar Crimes, Accident Investigation, Computer/Internet Crimes, Narcotics Enforcement, and Substance Abuse (alcohol) related offenses. This unit is also responsible for crime scene investigations. All four Investigators and one Deputy Sheriff have received specialized training. CID members oversee the property and evidence room, fingerprinting and processing of latent prints, photographic and imaging systems, plus they have a part-time Polygraph Examiner available to the unit. They also work closely with the Monroe County Crime Laboratory, located in Rochester, New York.

This unit became known as the Underwater Search and Recovery Team (USRT) and will be approaching its 15th year of service in 2012. Currently there are twelve members assigned to the USRT. Eight of the members are certified scuba divers with a minimum rating of Advanced O/W Diver and one member has a specialty certification titled Divemaster. All certifications are held through the sanctioning body of Professional Association of Dive Instructors (PADI) a leader in the diving industry. Calls for Services: July 10, 2011 – Town of Benton – Drowning – 16 year old female while operating a paddle boat on farm pond without a personal floatation device (PFD). Boat capsized and female was not able to swim to shore. Body recovered in about 20 feet of water. Divers were assisted at the scene with USRT Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) due to poor visibility and extremely muddy conditions. July 11, 2011– Town of Waterloo, Seneca County – Drowning - at the request for mutual aid by the Seneca County Sheriff’s Office, Yates County Sheriff’s Office USRT members deployed their ROV to assist with the recovery of a male individual that capsized his small fishing boat on Gem Lake. The body was located and recovered by divers. November 4, 2011– Town of Sodus, Sodus Bay Lake Ontario, Wayne County – at the request for mutual aid by the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office, Yates County Sheriff’s Office USRT members deployed their ROV to assist in the location and recovery of a missing male as a result of a boating accident. Search efforts were ceased after seven (7) days without locating the missing person. Several area Sheriffs’ Offices assisted in the search efforts with side scan sonar and divers to no avail. Situation was further hampered by investigation into incident not being able to produce any witnesses other than second victim who was recovered in lake suffering from severe hypothermia exposure and could not remember location where incident actually occurred. The USRT continues to maintain its levels of training and equipment updates with the generous support of the Yates County community. The need and support for this unit is critical to all those who enjoy the water ways of Yates County and the Finger Lakes Region. To date the Yates County Sheriff’s Office USRT has been summoned to nearly every community within the Finger Lakes Region of the State to assist with investigations of underwater incidents. Goals for 2012: Through the assistance of a New York State Department of Homeland Security Grant and the Yates County Legislature, the Sheriff’s Office USRT will be able to add one more critical tool to their resources. A dual frequency digital side scan sonar unit capable of searching depths up to 300 feet. This side scan sonar is capable of identifying objects underwater by emitting a digital sonar wave transmitted from a tow fish, which in turn bounces back to the control panel laptop computer and produces extremely highly graphic images of the target. This device coupled with the ROV, will result in greater search capabilities due to the fact that it does not expose the risk associated with deep diving to team members. Safety is the number one priority to our team and the community at large. These highly technological devices will aid in reducing those risk and liabilities. ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle) Side Scan Sonar 8 FIRE INVESTIGATION TEAM By Sgt. Randy Schwingle The members of the Yates County Fire Investigation Team continues to provide expert services to the 13 local fire departments and continue to protect the citizens throughout Yates County by determining the origin and cause of all fires, thus ensuring that all suspicious and incendiary fires are investigated thoroughly, bringing to justice those responsible for the crime of arson. Activations Summary The Team was requested and activated a total of 12 times during the year 2011. Ten of those were determined to be accidental, one fire is still undetermined and one was deliberately set which resulted in an arrest for the crime of Arson 2nd Degree a Class B Felony, and later was convicted in Yates County Court. Of the 12 activations, eight involved structures, one involved a fatality and another involved a juvenile playing with cigarette material. The other 4 involved vehicles, one involved a person receiving burns and having to be transported to a medical facility. As We Look to 2012 • Fill the 2 current active lead investigators vacancies that were created when Deputy Brian Winslow left the Sheriff’s Office to take the Director of Emergency Management position and Ed Hall requesting to step down as an active lead investigator to technical investigator. FIRE PREVENTION & SAFETY PROGRAM By Safety Officer Michael P. Chapman 2011 Fire Drills: On April 7, 2011, the fire alarm was activated at the pull station near the CID office. Fifty one inmates were evacuated to the rec yard in approximately three minutes. YCSO and PYPD units responded to secure the area, CR# 2011-02462. On June 30, 2011, the fire alarm was sounded for a drill after smoke was found in the garage. Fifty three inmates were evacuated in about three minutes.

Richard L. Simpson The Yates County Sheriff’s Office has had a long-standing tradition of its dedication and involvement with the youth of Yates County. As a result of those efforts, the Sheriff’s Office staffs a Juvenile Aid Division under the command of the Law Enforcement Bureau within the Sheriffs Office. The primary objective of this unit is to prevent delinquency and provide services that will have a positive impact on juvenile behavior. In the year 2011 the Juvenile Aid Division sent 12 students to the Sheriff’s summer camp program on Keuka Lake. They were from all 3 school districts within Yates County and ranged in age from 9 to 12 years old. This gives them a rare opportunity to spend a week away at camp. The camp is at no cost to the student or their family. The JAD also provided the Operation Safe Child Program. The program went into the Dundee and Middlesex Valley Schools and covered kids in the K-5 grades. It also did several public events like the annual Safety Fair. During the year of 2011 JAD was involved in many community and public relations programs. In cooperation with the many service agencies throughout Yates County, JAD maintained referral services for many students in need of such service along with their families. In addition, JAD provided many safety and educational programs for youth and adults within the community and schools of Yates County. During the year of 2011, Juvenile contacts were up from last year slightly; however, the underage drinking and UPM arrest were down by 5 to 2 for the year. This was the first year that there were more girls referred than boys 38 to 39. There were 2 arrest for UPM and ABC violations; 43 Violations; 23 Misdemeanors, and 9 Felonies. Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) was taught by Deputy Richard L. Simpson in 2 of the school districts of Yates County and graduated nearly 100 fifth grade students from the Dundee and Middlesex Valley Elementary Schools. The “Eddie Eagle” gun safety program was also taught at both Dundee and Middlesex Valley Elementary School Districts within Yates County to nearly 480 students in grades K-3. The typical administrative duties of the Juvenile Aid Division are to maintain and control confidential juvenile records. Working closely with the Department of Social Services, Family Court, and Probation Services of Yates County, the juvenile referrals are managed by JAD. In November of this year, the Juvenile Officer’s position was combined with the SRO at the Dundee Central School District. This year the juvenile officer was appointed to the Yates County Drug Court Team. The Deputy Sheriff/Youth Officer assigned to Juvenile Aid Division is also assigned to serve on several community service organizations. Some of these organizations include the Youth Advisory Board, The Yates County Coalition on Underage Drinking, and the Yates County Safety Fair. This vital role allows for the Deputy Sheriff to be a liaison between the community and the Sheriff’s Office, while providing a critical role with the Sheriff’s commitment to community policing.

SRO Detail/Home Visits increased by 70 more than 2010. The Yates County Sheriff's Department (School Resource Officer’s Program) in conjunction with the Dundee Central School received 250 complaints during 2011. The complaints included such things as larceny, bullying/harassment, and criminal mischief. The School Resource Officer is also involved in presenting numerous programs to the K-12 student population, such as Fatal Vision Goggles for Drivers Education class; harassment/bullying classes in the Elementary and Jr. High Schools; Operation Safe Child; gun, and bike safety. The SRO also attends school activities, such as sporting events and dances. The SRO also responds to homes of students that have missed numerous days of school to check the students’ welfare. On a monthly basis the Yates County K-9’s are brought into the school to search for drug paraphernalia. TRAFFIC SAFETY SPEED MANAGEMENT & RADAR TRAILER By Sgt. Randy Schwingle The S.M.A.R.T was in service from July 25 to December 2nd, 2011, during that time the trailer was deployed 49 times on Village, County and State roads within Yates County. All requests for the trailer by law enforcement agencies, Yates County businesses and private citizens were completed as requested. The S.M.A.R.T program is supervised by Sgt. Randy Schwingle and he is assisted by P/T MEO Brandon DeHond. 2011 Trailer Deployment By Village and Township Village of Penn Yan: 11 Town of Benton: Village of Dundee: 10 Town of Italy: Town of Jerusalem: 10 6 12 The hamlets of Branchport, Keuka Park, Benton & Bellona deployments were added into their respective township. 11 MARINE PATROL By Sgt. Ed Nemitz In 2011 the Yates County Sheriff’s Marine Patrol was staffed by ten part-time Officers and one Sergeant. The Marine Patrol Unit serves the community by promoting boater safety education through the instruction of the New York State Boater’s Safety classes and through the enforcement of the New York State Navigation Laws. The Marine Patrol Unit currently operates three patrol boats and two personal watercrafts within its 102.17 square miles of lake water. Yates County borders Keuka, Seneca and Canandaigua Lakes. Marine Patrol Officers logged 3,017.5 hours worked and 1,720.5 man hours aboard a Patrol Vessel. Other notable activities include: Officers responded to 278 navigation complaints and conducted 3,905 vessel inspections. The Marine Patrol enforces State Navigation Laws, Vehicle and Traffic and Penal laws, as well as all other laws applicable to the waters of Yates County through education and enforcement. Again this year officers instructed the New York State Boater’s Safety course and certified 171 students from the Finger Lakes region to as far away as other states. We provide our citizens with the latest in boater safety education. Marine Patrol Officer Pam Housel successfully completed a course provided by The National Association of State Boating Laws Administration. The NASBLA represents the recreational boating authorities of all 50 states and U.S. territories. NASBLA offers a variety of recourses including: training, model legislation, education standards, and publications. The NASBLA shares our mission to reduce death, injury and property damage associated with recreational boating, and to ensure a safe and enjoyable boating environment. MPO’s use discretion when they encounter a violation of law. In 2011 Marine Patrol Officers wrote 101 citations and issued 294 warnings. Most of the time violations are handled as teaching opportunities; however, some violations are so reckless and dangerous for people and property that Marine Patrol Officers are left with little choice but to write the citation. One of the many functions of the Marine Patrol Unit is to assist the Yates County Underwater Search and Recovery Team. They do this in a support role by assisting with and the transporting of divers and equipment, and aiding in the search and recovery aspects of the dive team. The Marine Patrol Unit also provided several instructional sessions this summer at the Keuka Yacht Club. Youths between the ages of 8 and 16 were instructed on the topic of water safety as part of their training to become sail boat operators. The Marine Patrol Unit had a very busy season handling their own complaints and on two occasions were requested by adjoining agencies for mutual aid. The first incident was on the south end of Seneca Lake where we assisted Schuyler County Sheriff’s Office with a night time boat accident near Watkins Glenn. At this incident our MPO’s located the deceased victim in shallow water from our personal watercrafts. The second time we were requested as mutual aid. It was from the Seneca County Sheriff’s Office. We were utilized on the north end of Seneca Lake to assist other agencies with a three day Power Boat Race in Geneva. MPO’s were posted in designated locations to secure a safety zone around the race course.

Ed Nemitz The Yates County Sheriff’s Snowmobile Patrol Unit consists of five full-time Sheriff’s Deputies who operate two Polaris Snowmobiles. The snowmobile Patrol Unit serves the community by promoting snowmobile safety through the enforcement of the New York State Parks and Recreation Laws, and the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Laws. Deputies worked a total of 101 hours of snowmobile enforcement and received 19 complaints involving snowmobiles ranging from noise complaints, trespass and destruction of property. Officers issued 4 warnings and 5 citations in the 2010-2011 seasons. The snowmobile unit also conducts courtesy inspections and provided instruction on the “New York State Snowmobile Safety Program” certifying 33 members of the public. The snowmobile unit allows Deputies to help the citizens of Yates County who have complaints and problems with snowmobiles by allowing Deputies to go places and solve problems in locations where patrol cars and Deputies on foot can not travel. Lt. Todd Sotir w/ snowmobile class Deputy Kevin Crofoot w/ snowmobile class 12 BICYCLE PATROL By Sgt. Ed Nemitz The Yates County Bicycle Patrol serves the community by promoting bicycle safety to the children of Yates County through juvenile aid and school programs. Deputies perform bicycle and helmet inspections for children to ensure the safety of Yates County’s children. The unit also assists with the deterrence of crimes such as larceny and criminal mischief when problems develop. The bicycle is a very useful tool at night due to its stealth-like response and its ability to maneuver well in village type settings. In 2011 the Sheriff’s Bike Patrol worked 83.5 hours and handled 10 complaints that consisted of assisting with Parades, Carnivals and as traffic control. Deputies instructed bicycle safety in two public schools, Dundee and Marcus Whitman Valley, and six Mennonite schools, providing instruction to a total of 484 people. We also met our goal for 2011 by sending Deputy Scott Smith to a Bicycle Patrol Training School in Ithaca, New York. UTV UNIT By Sgt. Ed Nemitz In 2011 the Yates County Sheriff’s Office continued to appreciate the use of its Cub Cadet 4x4 Utility Vehicle (UTV). The four wheel drive vehicle has served well as a tool to assist Deputies in locating and transporting illegal plant material as well as search and rescue operations. The UTV is a great tool for transporting Deputies and equipment to remote locations in the county. The UTV continues to be an invaluable tool. In 2011 we utilized the UTV when searching for a missing person. The individual was ultimately found in a wooded area and had succumbed to a self inflicted gunshot wound. The UTV is always in the state of ready and members of the Sheriff’s Office feel very fortunate to have this piece of equipment. Every time we use this equipment we recognize how it can makes every job easier and the most difficult operations a lot less arduous. CRIMINAL WARRANT REPORT By F/Sgt. John W.

A few police instructors also possess specialty instructor certification allowing them to teach a specialized topic of subject material. As an accredited agency, all divisions must provide a minimum number of hours of training annually in order to maintain their accreditation. Affiliation with the Finger Lakes Law Enforcement Academy (FLLEA) located in neighboring Ontario County allows for our staff to participate in several in-service training programs. Furthermore, the range is utilized for basic recruit training for law enforcement and corrections. FIREARMS TRAINING UNIT By Chief Deputy Howard Davis The Firearms training unit is made up of three members. This unit supervises all agency firearms training which includes use of force requirements as mandated by law. Additional responsibilities include maintenance of agency rifles and handguns. All members are certified S&W Armorers and several also have certification as Colt Armorers. Additionally, one instructor is also the agency “chemical weapons” officer and instructs all police and peace officers employed by the County on the legal and proper use of deploying chemical agents, (i.e. OC Spray.) Although not assigned to the Firearms training unit, the Sheriff’s Office has a state certified instructor that specializes in the deployment of “Conductive Energy Devices” (aka Taser). In 2011, each Deputy Sheriff and Court Security officer had to complete “equivalency training on their assigned CED in accordance with the State of New York Municipal Police Training Council. In 2011, deputies were required to pass a qualification course of fire while wearing personnel protective equipment/tactical body armor and additionally complete a course in “Reality Based Training.” This supervised firearms course will now train the deputy to use their protective equipment during various simulated judgmental scenarios. These scenarios may include any of the following: active shooter, counter-terrorism, hostage situations and barricaded suspect. Additional training utilizing the CAPS system allows for judgmental live fire scenarios utilizing “air soft” weapons technology that allows for the best in reality based training available to date. 13 ANIMAL CONTROL UNIT By ACO Thomas Morris The Animal Control Division of the Yates County Sheriffs Office is responsible for the handling of all animal complaints, from barking dogs to rabid wildlife as well as everything in between. Staffed by one Full-time Officer and one Part-time Officer, they are available around the clock/ seven days a week. May was the month with greatest number of dogs impounded at 19. February was the month with the lowest number of dogs impounded at 3. Animal Control Officers responded to 526 calls for service. (Call totals for 2011 were slightly higher than 2010 totals(507)). Animal Control travelled 38,834 miles while responding to calls. 136 dogs were impounded in 2011 81 Dogs were turned over to their owners generating $1,187 in impound fees. 47 of the impounded dogs were turned over to the Yates County Humane Society for adoption. Only 10 dogs had to be euthanized. In our efforts to make the Animal Control Unit more budget friendly, the impound fees were raised from the state minimum of $10.00 to $25.00 per impound. This change will go into affect January 15th, 2012. This not only helps with the cost of doing business, but also aids in the encouragement of owner responsibility. Increasing Totals 2011 Complaints—526 2010 Complaints—507 2009 Complaints—499 2008 Complaints—411 Goals for 2012 Continue efforts to make the Animal Control program more efficient by putting in place adoption and home turn-over fees. Obtain ACO Peace Officer Status Continue to reach out to the public for improved public relations with the people of Yates County. OGS 47 D E WER !!! PTED ADO Total: 526 calls 14 K-9 UNIT By Sgt. Randy Schwingle Sheriff Spike and Deputy Brandon Jensen gave K-9 Argo his retirement badge. Sheriff Spike and Deputy Brian Winslow gave K-9 Orry his retirement badge. During 2011 the K-9 Unit was activated for a total of 126 calls for service, which lead to a total of 162 actual canine utilizations. K-9 Handlers’ self initiated a total of 40 K-9 utilizations, assisted Yates County Deputies with 42 requests and our Criminal Investigation Division with 5 requests for K-9 service. The Handlers also conducted walk-thrus and a drug search within the Yates County Jail on 2 separate occasions. The K-9 Unit also provided K-9 assistance and support 37 times to other agencies. 2011 K-9 Unit Overview • Deputies Chad Betts and K-9 Hasko graduated from the Police K-9 Narcotics Detection School and Basic K-9 Patrol School. • Deputy Chad Betts and K-9 Hasko located 34 bags of Heroin on his first call out as a Narcotics Detection Dog.

Patrick Killen The purpose of the Public Assistance Fraud Unit is to detect Welfare Fraud, pursue criminal action against those who obtain benefits they were not entitled to and to recoup those benefits. Fraud prevention is another primary objective. Fraud prevention is accomplished by having an investigator verify information, often before any benefits are even issued. This process is referred to as “front end detection” or FEDS. There were 72 referrals for FEDS or Welfare Fraud during the year 2011. Sixteen people were arrested for Welfare Fraud or Offering a False Instrument for Filing with the total amount of fraud being $33,739.79. The Investigator assists child protective workers with investigations regarding child physical and sexual abuse, and assists adult protective workers with investigations of crimes against elderly. There were 58 on site assistance investigations in 2011, aiding child protective and adult protective workers with interviews or investigations of high risk or criminal nature. This number has gone up, from 53 in 2010 and 39 in 2009. The 12 month cost avoidance amount for the public assistance FEDS & fraud cases handled in 2011 was $106,464. The cost avoidance for 2010 was $126,060, and in 2009 was $54,576. This cost avoidance amount reflects the amount of benefits that would have been distributed to individuals arrested over the next 12 months had the fraud not been detected. CORRECTIONS BUREAU JAIL DIVISION By Lt. Clay Rugar The population was up by 23 admissions for the Corrections Bureau from 2010. The jail had 486 total admissions per the Jail Management Computer as well as 80 pre-arraignment detainees. We received 11 new federal prisoners and 19 prisoners from other agencies; this includes state readies, parolees and other counties. During the year we returned to full staffing with the hiring of 2 full-time corrections officers. We entered 2012 with the pending retirement of a sergeant creating another position to be filled. Corrections Officers completed 418 transports this year including federal transports, new commitments to DOCS plus parole violators. We processed 6738 visitors to the jail this year including: inmate visitors, attorneys, doctors, social workers, Child Protective Workers, Public Health Nurses, volunteers and teachers. All these visits require the supervision of at least 1 Corrections Officer The Sheriff’s Weekend Alternatives Program (SWEAP) continued to be a popular sentencing alternative for the courts. The program had 88 participants sentenced to the program for 2011 up 13 from 2010. The program did work for 27 agencies working 105 days, completing 641 projects, totaling 5402.75 man-hours logged by participants. Eight participants were referred back to the sentencing court for violations of the program rules and were resentenced by the court. During 2011 the jail staff completed training in firearms; Article 35 and deadly physical force; legal updates; gang specialist update training; breath test operator recertification; fire safety training; first aid; CPR/AED as well as officers attending the NYS Basic Corrections Officer School including Peace Officer with firearms and the Jail Administrators Conference. In June of 2011 a new Jail Cook/Manager was hired to replace long time Jail Cook Phyllis Hamm who retired after 28 years of faithful service. The kitchen prepared 58,171 meals for inmates. The kitchen continues to refine the menu to meet new nutritional requirements while trying to trim costs during tight budget times. Our Fire Safety Officers are responsible for the inspection of the building and fire extinguishers, and conduct fire evacuation drills. We do evacuation drills quarterly and averaged 3 to 3 1/2 minutes to evacuate the entire building including inmates, employees and civilians. In September of 2011 we received the final report from the New York State Commission of Corrections of their investigation into the tragic death of a 17 year old inmate at the Yates County Jail in November of 2010. The report cleared the Jail and its officers of any direct fault in the inmate’s death. 2012 Goals for Corrections Bureau • • • Complete our mock accreditation and move on to our actual assessment and become fully accredited. Evaluate new scheduling schemes to cut down on over-time and to cover shifts with the position left vacated by the county.

This requires much more than just receiving paperwork and delivering them. Receiving, docketing, processing, serving, and collecting on summons, court orders, income and property executions, as well as evictions and other court ordered mandates are all part of the daily actions carried out by the Civil Division. In addition constant review of civil policies and procedures and daily work to furnish accreditation files with necessary documentation to maintain state accreditation status. Furthermore, a review of bookkeeping records and accounts were handled on a day-to-day basis as part of a smooth and efficient operated Civil Division. 2011 Civil Process Papers Received Civil Process Papers Returned Total Papers Served 896 52 844 Income Executions Served Property Execution Served Summons & Complaints Served Subpoenas Served Family Court Papers Served Warrants of Eviction 171 4 113 307 213 36 Total Legal Process Served 900 850 800 750 Total Papers Served 700 650 600 2 011 2010 2009 2008 2011: A Year in Review • • • • My first and foremost objective for 2011 was to bolster the security we had for the administrative office. I requested a locking entry door from the hall into the administrative office and a locking gate between the records office and the administrative office area. We did accomplish both requests which provided us the needed security we were lacking as well as keeping us compliant with New York State Civil Accreditation Standards. We were able to maintain our Civil E-mail account which has assisted us with building our attorney, petitioner and business database. The Civil E-mail account assisted us with reducing the number of mailings and fax transmittals which in turn saved money. In 2011 we reviewed and maintained Civil Division policies and procedures and daily work to furnish accreditation files with necessary documentation in order to meet or surpass civil accreditation standards. One goal I had for 2011 was to obtain the current upgrade for our Electronic Software Program (Softcode). I did not accomplish this goal as funding was not available for this project. Civil Goals and Objectives for 2012 To provide proper service and execution of all civil process received, in compliance with all NYS Statutes and the policies & procedures set forth by the Yates County Sheriff’s Civil Division Standard Operating Procedures Manual. These statutes, policies and procedures are set forth to ensure that the persons bringing process to the Yates County Sheriff’s Civil Division receive proper service and attention that complies with NYS Law and the standard of professionalism demanded by this office. On March 8, 2010 the Yates County Sheriff’s Division was awarded a certificate by the NYS Sheriff’s Association in recognition of our office successfully achieving Civil Accreditation. We have and will continue to maintain policies and procedures, reviewing and amending as necessary in order to meet and surpass requirements to maintain NYS Civil Accreditation. In 2011 I was selected by Tom Michell, Esq to work with Civil Division Supervisors from the other Sheriff’s Offices throughout the State to review and enhance the Civil Standards set forth by the NYS Sheriff’s Association. I anticipate a large amount of work for us to comply with the improvements made to the State Civil Accreditation Standards; however, the updates made to the current Civil Standards and requirements should save time and be more efficient in the end. Additional for 2012, I would like to revisit the topic of upgrading our Electronic Software program (Softcode) before our current version expires and is no longer supported by the Softcode Company. This was the only goal that we had for 2011 that was not accomplished. There is no fee for the software upgrade; however, the training of our employees’ does carry a fee. I understand that funding the upgrade will cause some fiscal difficulties; however, we have been placed on notice that Softcode will not support our software after the completion of 2012. I have a verbal commitment that we will receive the updates in 2012 and I will do my best to accomplish this goal. It is also my goal to maintain our Civil E-mail account which has assisted the Civil Office with obtaining contact information from individuals, businesses and attorneys. This reduces our spending for paper, fax transmissions, mailings and phone calls. It is my goal to greatly reduce the number of mailings associated with office updates and general correspondence from the Civil Office to individuals, business and attorneys. In addition, it is also my goal to provide additional civil information to the Sheriff’s website as to make it easier for the citizens of Yates County to acquire information without making a phone call or stopping at the Sheriff’s Office to get needed information. The Civil Office will continue to enforce rules and laws of The State of New York and Yates County. 18 COURT SECURITY DIVISION By Sgt. Randy Schwingle The Court Security Division is comprised of: one (1) Sergeant, three (3) full-time Court Security Officer positions, and five (5) part-time Officers. Court Security Officers are assigned to the Weapons Screening Station, Supreme and County Courts, Family Court, Surrogates Court, Facility Security Patrol, and the Integrated Security Control Room. Weapon Screening Station There were 28,667 individuals screened when entering the Yates County Courthouse. The Officers assigned to the Weapons Screening Station secured 2,059 items, 8,905 items were x-rayed and we had one (1) arrest for drug possession. Quantity 263 4 23 17 1 91 1660 Description Knives Chemical Spray Razors Scissors Drug Paraphernalia Other Weapons Other Contraband Family Courts CSO’s assigned to the Family Courts maintain order during cases involving: juvenile delinquency, child custody, child support, visitation, foster care placement, persons in need of supervision, neglect, domestic violence and temporary order of protections. Due to the nature of these cases this is a highly emotional and volatile court environment. Supreme and County Courts The CSO’s assigned to the Supreme and County Court maintain order over felony proceedings, such as: trials, hearings and calendars. They provided security and support on 88 scheduled calendar days. In addition, there were a total of 5 criminal / civil jury trials weeks during the year. CSO’s also detained sixteen (16) individuals who were remanded to the custody of the Sheriff. Surrogates Count Court Security Officers also provided security and support to the Yates County Surrogates Court on fifteen (15) scheduled calendar days.

Court Security Training Unit The Court Security Division currently has three (3) certified Police Instructors, one of the instructors also serves as a firearms, chemical agent and defensive tactics instructor. Another instructor is also certified to teach the expandable baton (ASP). The Division completed 675 hours of training this year. Accomplishments and Highlights of 2011 • • • • • • Developed E-Briefing which is distributed each morning to all CSO’s, it takes the place of actually conducting a roll call. Continued compliance with all NYSSA Court Security Accreditation Standards and completed all standard folders to verify compliance. The Courts had to adjust the commencement and ending times for Court, due to the lack of funds for overtime. The Court Security Division was challenged to continue providing the same duties within a limited amount of time. With the assistance from our Building and Grounds Department we were able to redesign our weapon screening station to handle a larger volume of people, and providing additional safety to the Officers assigned there. Conducted bi-weekly Q-Meeting with full-time Court Security Officers. Submitted all vouchers to the Office of Court Administration for reimbursement and received payment in a timely fashion. Integrated Security Control CSO’s assigned to Security Control is responsible for monitoring radio communications, video surveillance cameras, as well as monitoring and controlling the 88 security doors. Court Security Officers were dispatched to twenty-four (24) general alarms. They were also dispatched to thirty-seven (37) directed patrols and special attentions. During 2011 CSO’s provided seven (7) escorts for court litigants. Our Goals for 2012 • • • Obtain re-accreditation of our Court Security Division with NYSSA. Complete and put into service our tactical mapping and incident reporting and notification program (Response Net). Develop a threat management program to be utilized by Court Security. 19 COUNTY OF YATES SPECIAL TRAFFIC OPTIONS PROGRAM 2011 ANNUAL REPORT The 2011 operating budget was established at $82,428 and spending for the year was kept less than budget at $71,020.60. The balance in the DWI reserve account was $39,412.77 on December 31, 2010. The program supports the budgets of Probation in supporting an officer supervising related cases; District Attorney in supporting an ADA for prosecution, Victims Impact Panel, and other misc. funding including courts when required; law enforcement, supporting patrol and court overtime as well as maintenance and equipment; direct services for rehabilitation and school based counseling, etc; education, prevention and advertising as well as administrative costs. All activities and budget must be approved by and are reported to the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee (GTSC) that is a division of the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles in Albany, NY. All funding is from violator fines paid through the courts and not from county property tax payers. Thus, the budget supports itself and reduces county and local budget expenses in specific areas. A local advisory panel exists when needed and relates to Traffic Safety Board chaired by Sheriff. Arrests in 2011 were up slightly over 2010. Felonies were 19 and a first for us as we had a tragic DWI-Drugs related fatality **killing six Amish in a van that made nationwide news media. The driver arrested & charged with vehicular manslaughter, etc. The STOP programs highlight goal for 2011 was to continue a Task Force for the continuation of the Drunk/Impaired Driving Victim Impact Panel (DID-VIP) for violators to experience the affect DWI has on victims, families, and the community. This did occur as the 6th and 7th DID-VIPs were held at the County Office Bldg auditorium in March and in September with attendance all totaling 106 for the year. 2012 goals highlighted will increase check-points, continue the VIP while taking programs into schools, and polices with the demands on the Probation Dept. for Leandra’s Law interlock devices.
