ABSTRACT
The City of Saint Paul Police Department (SPPD) proposes to develop and produce a cable
television show entitled 10-1 in partnership with the community of citizens of Saint Paul. The
transition to Community Oriented Policing (COP)within the SPPD is at the stage where broad
dissemination of factual information to the residents of Saint Paul is necessary in order to have a
broad base of support and cooperation. SPPD has many COP programs already in operation and
the health of the Saint Paul is reflective of these initiatives. A SPPD produced television show
broadcast on the city's cable television channei will provide the information network and
interaction with the citizens.
This proposal will use technology to form an information partnership with the Saint Paul
community. A sense of security is basic to the quality of life wherever one lives. Without it, a
community cannot function. This proposal will build on the cunent positive relationship which
the community and the police department have in place. The SPPD are cognizant that without the
community's involvement, COP and basic law enforcement will not be successful.
An evaluation instrument will be developed and incorporated into the program. The Wilder
Foundation, a nationally recognized research institution located in Saint Paul, and Decisions
Resources, Inc. will be consulted. Dissemination of the television show will be offered to law
enforcement agencies in the immediate region. The production team will also produce a video
tape to other law enforcement agencies providing step by step instructions on producing a video
show which is interactive with the community.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
Background:
The City of Saint Paul, with a population of 272,235 is the Capitol City of Minnesota. Lying
adjacent to its larger twin, Minneapolis, which has a population of 368,383, Saint Paul has been
called a big little city while 1Vlinneapolis has been called a little big city. The difference in history,
"personality" and outlook between the cities can be viewed from various social and business
indicators. One of these, the Uniform Crime Rate, is instructive for the focus of this Saint Paul
Police Department's application for the NIJ Solicitation for Technology Research and
Development Partnership Projects for Community Policing.
The Saint Paul Police Department (SPPD)began the transition to Community Oriented Policing
(COP) in July of 1993 when Chief William K. Finney began his term. Three years later, the
effects of this transformation permeates the police department. In contrast, the City of
Minneapolis Police Department (MPD), in the same period, has been going through various
administrative changes and public questioning of police tactics. It has found itself bounced back
and forth like the proverbial political football. While the individual officer in both departments is
dedicated and goes about the complicated job of a police officer in a complex urban society, the
difference within each department and in the larger community is manifest. Unfortunately, the
flash point comparison between cities in this era of violence is the homicide rate. The City of
Minneapolis achieved national notice with an increase of 56.5% in its homicide rate in 1995.
2
, , , q� -id��
Across the river, the City of Saint Paul's rate decreased 13.2%from the previous year. Saint
Paul's crime rate per 100,000 in 1994 was 7,153 while the Minneapolis rate was 11,223 per
100,000.
This solicitation, however, is not"written" on the back of the MPD. Nevertheless, the distinct
differences between the two departments in the minds of the metropolitan Twin City community is
pointed out and indicates an examination of the SPPD to see what is working, and how it is
working. Chief Finney and the Management Team of the SPPD have put considerable energy
and commitment into COP. Interaction with the community is the hallmark of COP. As Chief
Finney noted at a press conference held on Saturday, July 27, 1996, in response to a gang related
killing, "You expect too much if you expect the police to prevent all crime."1 SPPD Officers are
encouraged to bring forward ideas, projects, and refinements of existing policy in order to
effectively carry out the responsibility of police protection within the city. Examples of COP
initiatives are the following:
• Seven Police Storefronts and Four Substations decentralize the police administration and
create a presence within specific neighborhoods. The West Side Substation, under the
command of Sergeant Art Guerrero, has Spanish speaking officers who are able to interact
directly with the dominant culture of the community.
• The FORCE Unit works directly with the community by its Crime Prevention Specialists.
This Unit, in a period of three years, had organized 1339 block clubs in the city. The
partnership with the Saint Paul Public Health Code Enforcement Division enables a health

inspector to go along with the FORCE Unit when a search warrant is being executed.
Another partnership with Saint Paul Public Health enables an on-call social worker to
come to the home if there are children involved who need protective services.
• ACOP, a specialized substation, is focused on the public housing areas of the city. Within
that Unit, Hmong Officers have developed a trust with the predominant Southeast Asian
Community concentrated there.
• VIP (Victim Intervention Project) is a comprehensive response to homicide, accidental
death and suicide survivors. The Coordinator, housed within the Homicide Unit visits
every survivor and assists them through the process.
Other SPPD COP initiatives include the Bike Patrol, the Mounted Police, School Liaison Officers,
the Gun Suppression Unit, the Park Rangers, the Truancy and Curfew Center, the partnership
with the Youth Service Bureau in the Mobile Crisis Team, and the community billboard of the
Eastern District.
The Proposal:
Sergeant David Korus, Inspector poug Holtz along with Officers Larry Nevin and Jim Ahrens
brain stormed on the idea that a direct link with the community via a broadcasted cable television
offering would be effective in bridging one of the gaps in the delivery of COP to the community,
namely effective and accurate information disseminated to the broad spectrum of the community.
It would also provide an opportunity for the SPPD to partner with the community via the
technology available within the city's cable access channel. The public's curiosity and attraction
for law enforcement information was discovered when the SPPD began its Civilian Police
4
, , � 9'� -i���
Academy(CPA) in the Fall of 1995. Channel 18 videotaped the segments and broadcast it on a
regular schedule so that viewers could follow the course. This prototype, another example of
COP within the SPPD, was evidence of the interest that the citizenry had in law enforcement and
especially in their own police department when the department had to limit enrollment due to the
large numbers of applicants for the program. The first CPA met for ten weeks for four hours each
session and gave the participants a crash course based on the regular police academy. The CPA is
now offered twice a year due to its popularity, and the waiting list for the limited class of thirty is
generated out of the city's seventeen District Planning Councils.
A brief description of Saint Paul's Planning Districts is necessary as it is a unique structure of
citizen involvement. Each of the city's seventeen districts represents a distinct neighborhood.
Members of the Planning Councils are elected and this board operates as a forum for the
neighborhood. City Councilmembers utilize the Planning Councils to interact with their
constituents on issues. The SPPD also maintains a close relationship with the Planning Councils.
However, as in any community, it is obvious that not all of the citizens are involved in planning
councils nor are they able to participate in a CPA. A larger community interaction is indicated.
Korus et. al., began to develop the concept of a cable television program which would have the
potential of reaching this broader spectrum of citizens, relaying information about the police
department, and at the same time, teaching about effective crime prevention methods. Entitled
��10-1 St. Paul Police Beat", the concept is now emerging from the concept stage into the initial
planning stage. "10-1" refers to the SPPD code for: Stop All Transmissions, Emergency Traffic
5
, , . 9'�/a��-
Only", a reference that the message is important and should receive attention.
The SPPD's Management Team unanimously endorsed the concept which would give the
residents of Saint Paul helpful information about dealing with crime. Individual SPPD units
would be featured on the twice monthly program along with current statistics from the SPPD
Research and Development Unit. An invitation for citizens to find out more and to interact
would be one of the underlying goals. The city's cable television company, Channel 18, while
supportive, could only provide so much of the production for a program which would be
competing with its other television productions. The question of funding by the City of Saint Paul
was also explored. But with the city's economic tax base treading water and a budget message of
no additional spending, innovative COP ideas, while attractive, could not be funded. The team
realized they would have to produce their own show if they were going to be able to effectively
communicate and share their vision with the community.
The Chalienge:
One of the biggest challenges facing all police departments in the coming decades is public
support and community interaction in accomplishing the mission of the city and its police
department, which is public safety and security. Police departments have developed multiple ways
to make citizens' homes more burglar resistant. Police departments know how to detect and
apprehend criminal suspects. Police departments have developed persuasive techniques about
accident and crime prevention methods, such as wearing seat belts. The issue facing the SPPD is
not on specific problems, but rather, how does a city and its police department gain the trust,
cooperation and feeling of well being within a city and its residents? The SPPD believes that a
6
, , . . 9� i���
primary solution based on community oriented policing is knowledge based on facts.
At or�e time or another most people in the metropolitan area will live, work or come to the Saint
Paul and either be involved as a victim or otherwise feel affected by the crime that is a part of the
city. Mayor Norman Coleman describes the city of St. Paul as many neighborhoods that come
together to make up a city. The rivers and hills and highways within the city create physical
"breaks" in the city which make it appear to be several distinct towns. However, all are part of
the same political subdivision. Because it is the Capitol City, "out-state" residents look to Saint
Paul as the place where things happen, where the leadership of the state congregate. If Saint
Paul is not able to foster a sense of security and well being, the ramifications are felt throughout
the state.
The challenge is how to inform people who live and visit within this city about protecting their
homes and their persons; about what the police department is doing with the funding which comes
from their taxes; and what is "really" going on in the city relative to crime and safety issues. How
does the SPPD spread the foundation of safety and crime prevention that can only be solved with
community action and interaction with their police department.
There are several ways which the SPPD receives information from citizens. For years the
department has worked on organizing block clubs with the central focus of obtaining and
disseminating information to the members. Broader than the block club concept, each citizen has
access to call the police on the telephone to report crime, fears or concerns. They can also stop
7
, . . 9`� �o�-
an officer on the street and exchange information. These opportunities for interaction, however,
are broadly defined and the efficiency of getting the right information to the right person is
limited. The judicial system has placed credence on the "concerned citizen" and the credibility of
the block club network for the SPPD obtaining search warrants based on their affidavits and
resulting in the sentencing of persons guilty of"crimes against the neighborhood", such as
prostitution and drug sales. �
SPPD's ability to create and maintain programs to detect and apprehend criminals, develop good
citizens, educate people on issues of safety, and promote the feeling of well being involving issues
of crime and fear are directly related to the community network in place. Components which are
necessary for success are:
• Cooperation in funding,
• Citizen involvement in reporting crime
• Receiving of information on crimes
• Cooperation in deterring crime
• Development of citizens into "hard targets" against criminals
All of the above are based on accurate information and effective knowledge.
Dissemination tactics currently in use by the SPPD include information pamphlets at the front
desk, the telephone, special events, officers and civilian employees speaking to groups such as
block clubs, and the ubiquitous one-on-one contact as the officer goes about the business of the
day on the street.
8
, . . 9�-`���
Periodically, the SPPD issues special bulletins, newspaper articles, and accesses local radio and
television programs. However, problems exist in each of these arenas; someone else has ultimate
control of the message; there is a limited audience such as a block club meeting; the target group
is small; and because of different people giving the message it changes and can be misinterpreted.
Previously, the SPPD's Crime Prevention Officers have not had any personal expertise with the
medium of television. When the department asks the media for assistance in solving a crime
using videotape, surveillance photographs, or a well-known pattern or description of an
individual, the media has been helpful, yet the SPPD still does not control the message. Many
times these critical messages are stripped down by the media and are reduced to sound bytes and
what is, in their opinion, newsworthy or "sexy".
The challenge opportunity of this particular problem is for the SPPD to produce its own television
show and videotapes of the show and/or other topics which can then be distributed through the
network of block clubs and replayed on the city's cable access, which the cable server, Office of
Cable Communication, is mandated to run 24 hours daily, 7 days a week. The SPPD would
produce, write, edit, film and distribute a half-hour show which would be aired twice a day on this
cable access. This show would give news within the SPPD about hiring, retirement, training,
worthy achievements and positive works of the department and its personnel. Another segment
of the show would cover current crime trends in neighborhoods including Part I and II Crimes and
other trends and patterns which an alert citizenry needs. These productions would be without the
limitations, filters and exaggerations of the competitive media. Current statistical data would
9
, . , �� ����
make citizens aware of actual problems either in their immediate area or throughout the city and
demonstrate to them the overall health of the city.
This informational show will demonstrate what the problems are and how they can be addressed.
More importantly, it will also show what positive things are happening and that crime is not as
rampant as the media presents or as commercial advertising convey when telling listeners they
should buy alarm systems or car clubs because crime happens "every ten seconds". However,
when crimes do occur, a well informed community can react and interact with its police
department and assist in solving the situation. The Saint Paul community has demonstrated its
desire to be part of community policing and the need to know what those problems are.
The SPPD in planning its own cable television show will give that important informational link to
its citizens in the most efficient way possible by broadcasting directly without going through
someone else's agenda. Shows would be produced on a bi-weekly basis using cunent information
and crime statistics. Analysis would include: maps showing where crimes have occurred, where
the trends are, or, if the investigators and crime analysis personnel believe, that trends are
developing. When a certain area is having more than a"normal" share of burglaries, viewers can
be aware, be on the lookout and take greater care.
Partnership with the Community:
The interaction between the police department and the community is the basis for all COP
programs. Without this day to day partnership, there can be no development of the relationship
10
, , . . 9'l0 /a��-
between the two entities. Although not structured as in a more formal partnership due to the
fluidity of police work, it is this partnership which forms the foundation. The interdependence of
the community and the police cannot be isolated but must be observed as it happens. It is
programs such as 10-1 which will make the liveable difference within a community.
Once a show has been aired or a citizen has watched a show, and if they have questions or
comments they have multiple ways to respond to the show:
• Visiting the police substations and District Offices
• Calling the main police number and be referred to anyone with the answer or be linked
directly to the show's anchors or correspondents
• By using voice mail or an answering machine dedicated to the television show
• By using regular US mail
• By using the Internet, "StPaul@gov." (all SPPD officers have e-mail boxes and can
receive messages)
• Call-in segments during the show �
Any of these access points will be able to take requests for topics, critiques and information.
Each show will stress the need for interaction between the SPPD and the community.
Additionally, the citizens themselves will be part of the show. Citizens and groups could be on
specific shows to up date citizens groups about their activities and issues about which they are
concerned. The multiple dubbing of the taped show will be able to be distributed to community
councils and block clubs for viewing at their meetings. The SPPD 10-1 is an open format limited
only by the imagination of the personnel involved and those issues relevant to safety, crime and
11
, , , 9l�-/���-
Saint Paul. The show would be dependant on a network of trained citizen volunteers who would
assist with camera work in the studio and on subjects.
Basically this show is a tour of the police department with the officers in the role as expert and as
tour guides of the department. Each viewer watching the show will feel that this officer is giving
them the inside scoop which they can receive only from the police. Police Of�icers are also the
hosts of the show. The community viewing the show will also see the same officers on the street.
Citizens will make a connection with the officers and another barrier will be broken. They will
perceive that the officer is a trustworthy person and with this connection the lines of
communication will expand.
According to the Office of Cable Communications, City of Saint Paul, there are approximately
120,000 home in the city which are linked to cable. Part of the basic cable service which they
receive is the Government Access Channel. Holly Yerigan, Cable Communications Officer for
the City of Saint Paul estimates that this indicates a potential total population of 150,000 persons
which have access to view the SPPD show. Additionally, re-broadcasts will augment that
estimation. The ability for the SPPD to deliver a consistent and accurate message to the
community will become a reality.
The South Washington County Cable Commission is producing a similar format show for the
metropolitan suburb of Cottage Grove. A recent survey conducted by Decisions Resources, Inc.
under the direction of William Morris, Ph.D. for the City of Cottage Grove after the first year of
12
. . . q�-/���
broadcasting, revealed that 53% of the Cottage Grove population had seen or had watched the
show. 49%indicted that they watched the police and fire information show "regularly". SPPD
Sgt David Korus, works on the show as a volunteer in lus capacity as a Volunteer Fire Captain in
Cottage Grove. Sgt. Korus has been impressed with the response to the show. The enthusiasm is
evident with the people he meets in his daily contacts.
The SPPD have done community type shows infrequently in the past. One such show is the
replaying of the SPPD Citizens Police Academy sessions which is broadcast on the Saint Paul
Government Cable Channel. Sgt Korus was also involved in this show. Again he finds he is
approached with questions from the public about the Citizen Police Academy and the specific
content of that production. It is evident that the community is curious about and attracted to law
enforcement, its methods and procedures. Perhaps it is a way in which people believe that they
can solve or be part of the solution of crime.
Although the benefits of an in-house production for the SPPD have obvious merit, the department
does not have resources to purchase basic equipment to produce or create a show with a standard
of quality that will draw in and captivate the targeted audience. Quality electronic equipment is
needed along with the training of volunteers who would be able to operate the equipment so that
the appropriate content and message is delivered and retained.
Evaluation:
Evaluation of the use of cable communication on the citizen's perception of crime is an unknown
13
. . � 9'� ����--
area of analysis at this point in time. In a report in an FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin, Detective
Tom Bell of the Arlington County, VA Police Department stated:
"It is difficult to measure the effectiveness of local cable programming as it does not fall
under commercial television's rating system. Even when viewers are asked to offer
comments, only a limited insight into the concerns and opinions of the audience will be
obtained. This technique does not give the complete picture of audience size,
composition, age and location of residence. While cable television experts estimate that 3
percent of cable viewers watch local government channels on a regular basis, an effective
system of viewer surveys is needed to keep the program relevant to the interests and needs
of the audience.s2
The production team will consult with an evaluation consultant, such as The Wilder Foundation,
or a media consultant, Decisions Resources, Inc., or a combination of the two resources to
develop an instrument which will evaluate the cable show and its effect on viewers. Components
of ineasurement will include the following:
• multi-stage sampling
• evaluation of current practice and to enable the forecasting for future events
• formal and informal measurement methods
• formal methods to enhance precision and lessen bias
• organizational image surveys
The research developed will be sensitive enough to identify the public into definable groups rather
than as unrelated masses. The economic realities of modern organizations make it necessary to
2 Bell, Det. Tom, Police Beat", FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin, October, 1986, page 4.
14
. , � 9'� fa��
incorporate data gathering techniques into every phase of the process. This will reinforce rather
than undermine the values which are critical to an informed citizenry.
� With the community partnership as the basis, benefits to the community include:
• Enhances the flow of information to the public
• Allows dialogue to occur on important police-community issues
• Generates insight for the public on how their police department operates
• Solicits ideas from the public on crime prevention, investigations, and future department
plans
• Develops rumor control
• Focuses on the responsibility to the police department to talk with the public and listen
• Focuses on the neighborhoods within the city
• Incorporates the SPPD Mission Statement: "The Saint Paul Police Department will
become more reflective of and more responsive to the community we serve."
DISSEMINATION:
The SPPD will make available video tapes of the 10-1 show to other police departments within
the state and in the region. A show detailing a step-by-step format on how the show was
developed and produced will enable smaller law enforcement agencies to also engage in a similar
active partnership with their citizens. Cunently, the SPPD Training Unit is a training conduit for
many small agencies throughout the upper Midwest area. It would be an opportunity to share this
COP project with other agencies interested in viable and effective COP programs.
