Discussion of Future Staffing and Benchmarking, Police Services
Attached is a copy of a report from the Carver County Sheriff's Department
entitled "Future Staffing Discussion." The report outlines how the Sheriff's
Department determines staffing levels. They use three (3) factors in determining
the levels of police service for Chanhassen.
. "Policing Factors" includes response times to emergencies, visihility in
the community, traffic enforcement presence, etc.
. "Community Factors" includes population, housing types (single
family vs. multiple family), number of local roads, types of commercial
property, etc.
. "Average Sworn Law Enforcement Officers per 1,000 Inhabitants."
The Sheriff's Contracting Committee recommends .8 officers for each
1,000 population. Chanhassen is currently at .54.
In the past, Chanhassen has used community factors in determining our law
enforcement service levels. Back in 2004, we added law enforcement to keep
up with increasing population and new commercial developments. The same is
true for today. The community factors that will determine our needs are as
follows:
. 2008: The opening of Highway 212/312 means more calls for service,
accidents, car fires, etc.
. 2009: The opening of the Chanhassen High School will bring the need
for a School Liaison Officer and additional calls for service.
. 2010: The opening of the 2005 MUSA area will bring an increase of
about 800 to 1,000 new residents by 20lO-again increasing the calls for
serVIce.
The City of Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play.

To meet this need, the Carver County Sheriff's Office and staff are proposing
adding one additional law enforcement personnel for the next three years as
follows:
. 2008-Add % of a Full-Time Investigator (paid by the City) and % of
a School Liaison Officer (paid by the City) who will be designated as a
patrol officer until August 2009. This will help in following up on
crimes in Chanhassen and freeing up the workload of current deputies,
which in turn will allow for more patrol and interaction with residents
and businesses. The School Liaison Officer will become a patrol deputy
when school is not in session (summers, holidays, school breaks, etc.).
. 2009-Pick up the other V2 of the Investigator (paid by the City) and
pick up the other % of a School Liaison Officer (paid by School
District 112), and % of a new full-time Patrol Officer (paid by the
City). We are adding a 1,.4 Patrol Officer because we would have a 4
month gap without one.
. 2010-Pick up the remaining % of the Patrol Officer (paid by the
City).
To summarize, we are proposing the following:
. 2008/2009: Full-time Investigator (paid by the City).
. 2008/2009: Full-time School Liaison OfficerIPatrol Officer (paid Y2 by
the School District and ~ by the City).
. 2009/2010: Full-time Patrol Officer (paid by the City).
Again, this is the recommendation from the Carver County Sheriff's Department
and staff for the next three (3) years. Also attached are some benchmarks
outlining the services and performance of Chanhassen law enforcement deputies
for the past three (3) years. Staff will be looking for feedback from the City
Council on the proposed staffing levels and will answer any questions the
Council may have concerning benchmarks.

Level of Service Factors
The Sheriffs Contract Committee (SCC) through the Vision 2005 contract policing plan
uses the following factors to determine the levels of service necessary in our contract
communities.
Policing Factors:
Response Times to Emergencies
Visibility in the Community
Traffic Enforcement Presence
Local Ordinance Enforcement
Types of Calls - Criminal vs. Non Criminal
Increase in Calls for Service
Determine Types of Services
Size of Patrol District
Familiarity with Local Issues
Community Factors:
Population
Housing Type- Single vs. Multi housing
Number of Local Roads
Types of Commercial Property
Number of Lakes, Parks, Trails
Number of Schools
Local Demand for Service
Local Control of Resources
Local Identity of Resources
Local Coordination of Resources
Accountability of Resources
Say in Local Policing
Citizen Complaints about Service
Community Wants and Needs
Average Sworn Law Enforcement Officers per 1.000 inhabitants
The Sheriffs Contracting Committee recommends the rate of Law Enforcement Officers
for each 1,000 population in our Contracting Communities at .8.
The Sheriff s Contracting Committee recommends the rate of Law Enforcement Officers
for each 1,000 population in the General Patrol Districts at .4.
International Association of Chiefs of Police method of determining manpower needs.
The formula is intended to calculate the number of patrol officers needed to cover the
existing workload.
*Rate of sworn law enforcement officers per 1,000 inhabitants. Average rural 2005 = 1.3
* 2005 Uniform Crime Report page 107
The Carver County Sheriff s Office makes recommendations for staffing levels every
year to our contract communities. The final decision on what levels of service and
staffing levels are needed is made by the community leaders.
Future Considerations:
· New District 112 highschool
o need for SRO
· New Highway 212
o increased traffic, complaints, accidents
· New residential housing
o increased calls for service
o increased medicals
· New commercial, industrial businesses
o increased alarms, thefts, medicals, calls for service
Current deputies assigned to Chanhassen
· 12 Patrol Deputies
· 1 Liaison Sergeant
April 1, 2007 estimate population = 23,889
Level of service factor .8 deputies per 1000 population
Formula = 23,889 x .0008 = 19.11 deputies
January 1,2010 estimate population = 27,500
Level of service factor .8 deputies per 1000 population
Formula = 27,500 x .0008 = 22 deputies
January 1,2020 estimate population = 34,500
Level of service factor .8 deputies per 1000 population
Formula = 34,500 x .0008 = 27.6 deputies
IACP workload formula using 2006 statistics
IACP method shows the city needed 19.97 deputies to cover the existing workload in
2006.
The current law enforcement services provided by the Sheriffs Office include 12 patrol
deputies and 1 liaison sergeant. The estimated needs in 2020 are projecting the city will
need 27 deputies to meet the needs of the community.
To reach the goal of27 deputies in 2020 the city should add 1.07 deputies per year.
These recommendations are estimates based on projected population ratios and level of
service factors. These recommendations are a road map to assist the City with planning
and budgeting into the future. These recommendations are subject to change based on
revised population projections and increased level of service factors.
