' Goal: To address the existing facility's federal and state code violations, liability concerns and legal violations, safety and securi ty issues, and employee morale challenges. To centrally.locate all Police Deparment functions and provide more user friendly services for residents and guest alike. To also address space needs of other departments and the community by making current Police Department space available for those needs. Background: The current facility was built in 1971, to accommodate 8 department employees. In response to growing communi- ty demands and calls for service since that time, the department has branched into additional services which include valleywide emergency services dispatch, code enforcement, community service, animal control and crime prevention, with an average of 60 employees to carry out these functions. Why has the department grown fin twenty years? Communication growth and demands from residents, merchants and second homeowners for increased services; increased criminal activity (due in part to the immediate impact of I-70); additional service demands due to increased yeaz azound visitor population. if there were fewer police department employees, couldn't you get along with less space? On average, individual officers are handling more incidents per yeaz than any other ]aw enforcement agency m the area and this case load is growing.

' The public has raised several questions since the new facility was proposed, mostly related to the cost of the project. Cur- rent projections put the project at $5.7 million, although the council also may consider a scaled-down version. In any case, the police department is working in a 21-year-0ld facil- ity that was built when the de- partment had 8 employees. It now has 60 employees, and its holding facility needs to be im- proved to being it into federal and state regulations. And be- cause of lack of space, files are currently stored illegally.

What are the Needs? How will the Community Benefit? Numerous questions have been asked regarding the proposed expansion of the Vail municipal building for Police Department use. The Town of Vail encourages concerned residents to cal{ or stop by the department and discuss the matter. Police Chief Ken Hughey would be pleased to take any interested individuals on a tour of the current facility to outline legal, safety, security, and morale challenges associated with the current site and to discuss related issues. Proposal: To expand the Vail municipal facility into the parking lot just east of the existing municipal offices for Police Department space needs. Goal: To address the existing facility's federal and state code violations, liability concerns and legal violations, safety and security issues, and employee morale challenges. To centrally locate all Police Department functions and provide more user friendly services for residents and guests alike. To also address space needs of other departments and the community by making current Police Department space available for those needs. Background: The current facility was built in 1971, to accommodate 8 department employees. In , response to growing community demands and calls for service since that time, the department has branched into additional services which include valleywide emergency services dispatch, code enforcement, community service, animal control, and crime prevention, with an average of 60 employees to carry out these functions. Why has the department grown in twenty years? Community growth and demands from residents, merchants and second homeowners for increased services; increased criminal activity (due in part to the immediate impact of I-70); add'+tional service demands due to increased year around visitor population. If there were fewer police department employees, couldn't you get along with less space? i On average, individual officers are handling more incidents per year than any other law enforcement agency in the area and this case load is growing. Vail Police Responses - 1984: 25,800 1991:71,152 Increase: 127% With current case loads, Vail officers are still unable to respond as quickly to non-emergency calls as residents, merchants, and guests would like. In the Town Council's view, reduction in numbers of officers and services provided is not a responsible answer to the current space shortage. . r• • ~ What is wrong with the current facility? ' The jail is in violation of federal and state regulations regarding prisoner holding facilities. * Due to inadequate available space, Pdice Departrnent foes and records are currently legally stored. * Prisoner and officer safety is threatened, as officers must escort arrestees from the outside parking lot, down a narrow set of stairs. This is extremely hazardous, as approximately 90% of the 1,000 arrestees per year are under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. * The 312 square fioot patrol room is currently used by 24 officers for training, shift briefings, ffies and supplies, whle simultaneously acting as storage for ammunition and weapons.

The public is invited to inspect the current facility between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM on Tuesday, November 17, with discussion of the issue to follow at the 6:00 PM~ Town Council work session. "The space constraints and liability issues facing the Vaif Police Department are of serious concern to both the Town Council and staff," Police Chief Ken Hughey said. "However, of equal concern is the oppos`tion expressed by Vail residents to expansion of the facility to address thcase challenges, We are hopeful that residents and merchants will take the time to educate themselves on the issues - at hand and continue communication witt-r us on this issue."

What are the Needs? How will the Community Benefit? Numerous questions have been asked regarding the proposed expansion of the Vail municipal building for Police Department use. The Town of Vail encourages concerned residents to call or stop by the department and discuss the matter. Police Chief Ken Hughey would be pleased to take any interested individuals on a tour of the current facility to outline legal, safety, secur'~ty, and morale challenges associated with the current site and to discuss related issues. Proposal: To expand the Vail municipal facility into the parking lot just east of the existing municipal offices for Police Department space needs. Goal: To address the existing facility's federal and state code violations, liability concerns and legal violations, safety and security issues, and employee morale challenges. To centrally locate all Police Department functions and provide more user friendly services for residents and guests alike. To also address space needs of other departments and the community by making current Police Department space available for those needs. Background: The current facility was built in 1971, to accommodate 8 department employees. In , response to growing community demands and calls for service since that time, the department has branched into additional services which include valleywide emergency services dispatch, code enforcement, community service, animal control, and crime prevention, with an average of 60 employees to carry out these functions. Why has the department grown in twenty years? Community growth and demands from residents, merchants and second homeowners for increased services; increased criminal activity (due in part to the immediate impact of I-70); additional service demands due to increased year around visitor population. If there were fewer police department employees, couldn't you get along with less space? On average, individual officers are handling more incidents peryear than any other law enforcement agency in the area and this case Toad is growing. Vail Police Responses - 1984: 25,800 1991: 71,152 Increase: 127% With current case loads, Vail officers are still unable to respond as quickly to non-emergency calls as residents, merchants, and guests would like. In the Town Council's view, reduction in numbers of officers and services provided is not a responsible answer to the current space shortage. What is wrong with the current facility? * The jail is in violation of federal and state regulations regarding prisoner holding facilities. * Due to inadequate available space, Police Department files and records are currently illegally stored. * Prisoner and officer safety is threatened, as officers must escort arrestees from the outside parking lot, down a narrow set of stairs. This is extremely hazardous, as approximately 90% of the 1,000 arrestees per year are under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. * The 312 square foot patrol room is currently used by 24 officers for training, shift briefings, files and supplies, while simultaneously acting as storage for ammunition and weapons. Officers are expected to also use this high traffic area for conducting telephone follow-up with victims and witnesses, and for writing and dictating detailed daily reports, of which accuracy is of critical importance for the legal proceedings of each case. * No designated locker room space is available for female department employees. Consequently, these employees are forced to utilize converted closet space beneath the department's stairway for private needs. This is in violation of zoning and safety codes. How will the community benefit from a new facility? All police functions will be centrally located for better service to residents and guests; legal and liability issues will be negated; adequate working space for department employees will increase efficiency factor to better meet community service demands; expensive employeeturn-over will be reduced by providing adequate working conditions and space. The public is encouraged to take the time to inspect the current Police Departme~:t facilities a~td to discuss the proposal further with Town Council members or staff. Please feel free to contact the Tows: of Vail at 479-2200 for more iliformation or to express your views regarding the proposed expansion. Thank you.
