COMMUNITY EVENTS:

Detective Micheal Rowland and Officer Sean Donelan attended the Fort Thomas Lions Club

meeting at the Highland Country Club. Officer Donelan gave a presentation on the recent car

break-ins, legal issues regarding mopeds, impaired driving and alcohol content per beverage

and demonstrated some field sobriety testing used by the officers on the street. He also

discussed a few police calls, stressors in policing and coping with those calls.

Detective Rowland, currently assigned to the Northern Kentucky Drug Strike Force, presented

on the current issues with the heroin and fentanyl epidemic, statistics on overdoses and related

issues to heroin usage. He also covered new legislation and federal sentencing of heroin

trafficking and possession cases. He also presented on the recent increase of "crack" cocaine

and methamphetamine usage in Northern Kentucky.

Officer Doug Bryant spoke to the 4th and 5th graders at Johnson Elementary for their career

fair. He spoke to them about requirements to be a police officer, what a typical day looks like

for an officer, what kind of training it takes, and various other aspects of policing. He also took

questions from the students about policing.

Officer Derek Faught was interviewed by a student at Highlands High School in their media

department about the dangers and realities of heroin use. They are going to take the interview

as well as interviews conducted with former users and other leaders in the community and

make a documentary.

Officer Faught was also interviewed by a NKU student about being a police officer as part of a

project for her criminal justice class.

TRAINING:

Officers Zac Rohlfer, Adam Peak, Brandon Laffin, and Wayne Dutle attended State and Local

Anti-Terrorism Training. It was a one-day class focusing on teaching local law enforcement

about the current practices that the federal government is using to combat terrorism. They also

focused on what is currently being used by terrorist groups to recruit and train home grown

extremists here in the US.

March 2017 Monthly Report Summary

Sergeant Chris Carpenter attended Terrorism Tactics Techniques and Procedures. This course is

designed as a terrorism awareness course and provides the latest knowledge of terrorist tactics,

techniques used in communities, and the procedures used to accomplish illicit activities. The

learning outcomes for this course will be for the law enforcement officer to gain the

information and resources so they can successfully prepare for, recognize, prevent, and

respond to a terrorist incident. The law enforcement officer will be introduced to current

domestic and international terrorist threat groups, terrorist trends, fraudulent identities, and

energetic materials, devices, and components. In addition, the student will be introduced to

the DarkNet/TOR, terrorist financial investigations, radiological exposure devices, personal

protective equipment, and incident response.

Officer Sean Donelan attended Firearms Instructor Update 2017. This course is designed to

provide training Firearms Instructors with updated information concerning national trends,

current academy philosophy and objectives. The learning objectives will cover firearms related

issues and current topics related to use of force, threat pattern recognition, along with other

relevant topics.

Sergeant Brent Moening completed Criminal Justice Executive Development Class XX (CJED).

This is a 200-hour course that is four weeks in duration. CJED is an advanced leadership course

for criminal justice professionals offered by the DOCJT. The purpose of the course is to provide

students with the academic background, leadership skills and management techniques required

for the future. Each session enhances leadership abilities as well as encourages the

development of visionary thinkers. Approximately 100 officers throughout the state of

Kentucky apply to attend this course. This year, the selection committee chose Sergeant

Moening along with nineteen other officers for the class. The Fort Thomas Police Department

has seven officers that have graduated from CJED.

Officer Nick Hoffman completed Breath Test Operator Recertification – Online. Breath test

operators are required by 500 KAR 8:010 to maintain their certification by completing the

recertification course every two years. The recertification will cover recent legal information

and a refresher of operator techniques for the breath testing instruments used in the

Commonwealth.

In March, the officers completed their annual pistol qualification. Congratulations to Officer

Mike Dietz for winning the "Pistol Expert" pin with the highest qualification score. Officer

training then focused on several drills involving one-handed pistol operation. Officers

competed against one another in these drills which involved divided-attention, single hand

reloads, and weak-hand pistol operations. Congratulations also to Officer Zac Rohlfer who was

named the next firearms instructor.

ENFORCEMENT:

In March, officers wrote 31 speeding charges, 34 charges for non-traffic offenses (i.e., warrants,

assaults, disorderly conduct, etc.) and 111 traffic charges (i.e., suspended OL, no insurance,

expired license plate, etc.) Officers also issued 133 written warnings and totaled 30 court

appearances. There were 31 drug related charges placed against 21 adults. Of the individuals

six are Fort Thomas residents. Traffic stops led to 12 of the charges.

If there are no questions, this will conclude my report.

Respectfully submitted,

Chief Mike Daly
