PROBLEM STATEMENT Between the years of 2007 -2010, Partridge and Clearview Apartments were experiencing a significant gang, violent crime and livability crime issue. The problem was subsequently assessed and revisited again in 2013, using the SARA model.

SARA--SCANNING

SCANNING Identified recurring problems of concern to the public and the police • Ongoing livability issues • Gang participation & crimes committed on behalf of the gang • Increase in violent crimes

SCANNING Identified the consequences of the problem for the community and the police • Perceived fear of crime • Heavy resource allocation based on calls for service and criminal incident response, limiting response to other parts of the city

SCANNING Prioritized the problems • Decrease overall criminal incidents • Decrease need for police presence • Increase community involvement • Eliminate fear of crime

SCANNING Determined the frequency of the problem & identified length of problem • Anecdotal evidence that the problem was out of control & was occurring daily

SCANNING Developed broad goals • Increase foot patrols & offender home visits • Consistent tracking of activity within both complexes by all involved parties • Thorough and timely reporting from law enforcement • Identify suitable crime targets • Identify guardian • Identify motivated offenders within both complexes • Identify repeat offenders that may be attacking different targets Return to Home Page

SARA--ANALYSIS

ANALYSIS Took inventory of conditions & identified what is known about the problem • DOC reported 17 P & P offenders resided at Clearview • Doc reported 11 P & P offenders resided at Partridge * Department of Corrections, May 2013

ANALYSIS Researched the problem & identified data to be collected Criminal Incidents--CLEARVIEW Incidents--PARTRIDGE YEAR PARTRIDGE 2010 292 300 250 2011 209 250 2012 162 200 2013 141 150 300 % CHANGE CLEARVIEW % CHANGE 217 -29. 45% 213 -1. 84% -22. 48% 181 -15. 02% -12. 96% 155 -14. 36% 150 100 50 50 0 1960 2010 2060 2110 2160 2210 2260 * As of 10/6/15

ANALYSIS Identified resources to be of assistance • Keizer Police Supervisors • Salem Housing Authority • Rushing Real Estate • On-site managers • Marion County Parole & Probation • City of Keizer Code Enforcement * As of 10/6/15

ANALYSIS Hypothesis If crime is reduced at Clearview & Partridge Apartments, then the community will have less fear of crime and Keizer Police can deploy resources as needed throughout the entire community. Return to Home Page

SARA--RESPONSE

RESPONSE Brainstormed for new interventions • CPTED study • Neighborhood Block scheme • Landlord training • Consideration of: electronic access to parking lots, security patrol, gatekeeper & complex wide CCTV cameras

RESPONSE Outlined a response plan • Added on-site management by Rushing Real Estate • Called LE on all incidents that occur within complexes • Crime Analysis reported to Rushing Real Estate all incidents that occurred at locations to remove problem occupants • Increase patrols in the area • Add complex lighting Return to Home Page

SARA--ASSESSMENT

ASSESSMENT Conducted a process evaluation INPUT • • • Personnel Expenditures Other resources RESULTS • • • Arrests People trained Barriers installed OUTCOMES • • • Crimes reduced Fear abated Other reduction in problems Response was implemented as planned & problem declined. Perception/evidence that the response caused the decline.

ASSESSMENT Determined if goals were obtained • Increase foot patrols & offender home visits • Consistent tracking of activity within both complexes by all involved parties • Thorough and timely reporting from law enforcement • Identify suitable crime targets • Identify guardian • Identify motivated offenders within both complexes • Identify repeat offenders that may be attacking different targets

ASSESSMENT Ongoing Assessment • What was the implemented response? • Did the problem decline? • Did the response cause this decline, or was it something else? Return to Home Page

LESSONS LEARNED

LESSONS LEARNED • Our lack of total understanding of the problem may have initially caused a resurgence in 2013. • Our coordination with other resources may have failed because of regular turn over. We should have built in more redundancy. • Our problem solving is not complete but we do not have an ongoing plan for crime increases or offender creep. • A formal plan was not created with analysis during the first phase of the project. SARA was followed in the second phase as a result of a Crime Analyst. Return to Home Page
