U S . Fax: (60T ) 2ST _g4T 4Kenneth W. Lansino Chief of Police To:The Honorable Walter L1.nn Members of the Board of Trustees Village of Cayuga Heights I hereby submit the annual reporl of the activities of the cayuga Herghts policeDepartment for the year endin gZ0OS. once again I am proud and-happy to report we have had no personnel changes within thepolice ranks this year' we have had yet another addition to one of our officer,shousehold' officer Jerry wright arrd his wife April nuJ u baby boy chandler, bringingtheir household numbers up to three children. our part-iime staff has also stayed in tackfor another year making them a very reliable u"o imiortant par-t of our department. we will be having. a.-change in p'31ss*el this year as I am planning on retiring inSeptember' I would like to Jake the, time this y.u, to reflect on my thirty-three years ofselice in my annual message to the village. first I -ouio like to say that this has beenthe greatest place for me to serve as; a law enforcement official. when I first started inNovember of 1974I never reaTized, what a great reputation this small police departmenthad throughout the state' while attending triinings and telling other police officers fromvarious deparlments where I worke,l,.they were very quick to respond ,,oh that is thepolice department that serves all those important p"opi"'t o'n cornell and the Ithaca area.It must be hard with them expecting things done their way". They were amazeclto hearto the contrary and the great respecit.hat we had from our tommunity. I am happy to saythat attitude and working relationshry with our community still exisis. I have some veryfond memories over the past thirty-three years that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Ihave also had the privilege to m,:et and become friends with some very specialindividuals' This truly has b""., u., experience of a rife time and one that I never would i:ffJffi:ii?r:TlrT *' anvwav rhe Vitiage has become my second ramily and As I prepare to hand over the task of Chief to Sergeant Boyce I would like to reflect on how i see our deparlment has progressed and where we stil1 need to go. The department has always been a community service poiice departme:nt. I have to smile when I hear the concept of community policing being some new idea. The Cayuga Heights Police Department has always t..n g-ut"d to that type of service. The new technology has suiely made our job more efficient in many ways. A.long with these high-tech methods comes the need to keep our officers up to date on all the training courses needed to use this new technology. Witft this new equipment and methods for assisting us, you would like to think it *o.rid streamiine the paperwork and tirne spent when working cases. That can be true in some cases, but along with these modern methods comes more checks and balances from our legal system. Our cases become e\/en mole complex, rnaking our time spent dealing with ttre- iotrg"r than in the past. It does place a strain on the department when having to address other duties while still doing a thorough investigative job. The challenge for the future is to continue to keep the department equipped with the best personnel, t"tt. rigttt number of persorurel, training, office facilities, and modern equipment. We can not and will not allow our department to waiver from our heritage of U"*g the best. This task takes on many different aspects to achieve that goal. For example, last year the mayor of the village of Lansing approached this department looking at what it would take to have our police clepartment cover their village, in a financLl and manpower aspect. We must always keep the option to expand with other municipalities should the opportunity present itself. 'Ihis does not mean we get absorbed by anoiher city or village. We would become the lead agency as we did by supplying the Town of Ithaca with G opportunity to have a court officer for the Town Court. Another matter that has to be addressed is the space in which the village departments now operate. We have started the process and we can not lose sight of this being an important issue' Other departmentr *ithin this village have had their space needs addressed and it is now time for the police and village offices to have their space problems resolved and the ergonomics updated to create a more efficient work environment. As you look at the figures contained in this report you will see that total number of complaints received by this department is less yet comparable to the previous years' The ,.n*t". of complaints involving youths has continued to be low, due in part to our known presence urorrnd the village and our DARE program. We will continue to strive to meet the needs of the community in all aspects of the public safety field. We also thank the Village Board and Village residents for their continued support. I would like to personally thank each and every one of you that have touched my life these past thirty-three years. A person must consider their self very fortunate to be blessed with the many fir,. -.tr and women that I have had the priviiege to work with and meet. tfully Chief of Police Ann Antit - Deputy Mayor Roy Staley James Bisogni CLERK Norma Manning TREASURER Jeffiey A.
