ESTES PARK POLICE DEPARTMENT t TO: CHIEF RICHARDSON VIA THE CHAIN OF COMMAND FROM: CPL. COREY P. PASS SUBJECT: POLICE AND BUSINESSES IN PARTNERSHIP (PBIP) DATE: JULY 12, 2001 CC: Sirs, I am writing to in form you of a new program that I want to create and implement. The program is going to be called "POLICE AND BUSINESSES IN PARTNERSHIP" or (PBIP). EPPD and the ESTES VALLEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE will sponsor this program. The purpose of the program is as follows: Officer A responds to a report of a business crime, such as shoplifting, fraud, etc. The officer takes the initial report and only has a description of the suspect. At that point, the officer will contact dispatch with suspect information. Dispatch will fill out an information sheet, see attached, and fax it over to the Chamber of Commerce. There staff will then send out an email to over 350 businesses in the local area describing the crime and the suspects, with instructions that if this person(s) is seen to contact EPPD imrhediately. I have spoken with the Chamber to reference this and they are excited about the possibilities. This program will be a great benefit to the local business owners, the Chamber of Commerce and EPPD. I have created the recommended procedure, standards and forms required to put this into action, see - attached. The cost of this program will be very small to implement and will require very little manpower. I am leaving for vacation and will not be back until July 25,2001, but I hope to have this up and running as close to August 1 as practical. Ifyou have ally questions, comments or concerns please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, - Corey P. Pass POLICE AND BUSINESSES IN PARTNERSHIP (PBIP) SPONSORED BY THE ESTES PARK POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE ESTES VALLEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PURPOSE: The purpose of this program is to decrease business crimes of area businesses, increase communication between area businesses, EPPD and EVCC, and to provide a safer place for our citizens and tourists. PROCEDURE: How many times do we take a report of a business crime (such as shoplifting, check fraud, credit card fraud, etc.) and wish that we had a way to warn the other businesses in town? This procedure will assist us in accomplishing just that. When an officer receives a report of a business crime, the officer will respond to the scene and obtain a description of the suspects, as soon as possible. The officer will then contact communications with this description and ask that it be put into the PBIP. The communications officer will then complete a form listing the descriptions of the suspect, the type of crime and a i notation stating that if the suspect(s) are seen to contact EPPD immediately. The communications officer will then fax the sheet to the Chamber of Commerce @ 586-6336. A representative of the Chamber will then send out an instant email to over 350 local businesses, explaining the situation and asking for their assistance. If this occurs afterthe chamber is closed, they will send out the email first thing in the morning. The Chamber of Commerce is open as follows: Summer M-F 8-8 Contacts: Dave Thomas (Director): 586-0144 Sat. 9-8 Holly Collingwood (Mgr.): 586-3543 Sun. 9-5 Front Desk: 586-4433 Voice Mail: 586-6336 Winter M-F 8-5 Fax: 586-6336 Sat. 9-5 Sun. 10-4 The email will be sent to the businesses with a reference header stating "PBIP" that will inform them that it is an email that needs their attention, as soon as possible. It has been determined that a high amount of the businesses in the area do have computers and are on line. The number of recipients of these emails is also likely to increase, once this starts being advertised. STANDARDS: It will be up to the officer to decide if he/she feels that this would be helpful on a case by case basis. The main purpose of this program is for it to be utilized for business/property crimes where we have a description of the suspect(s); however, the potential is limitless. It has been shown time and time again that only through partnerships with our citizens, business owners and guests will we be able to keep this as safe of a place as it already is.
