Last Updated: January 7th, 2011     Patrol West 661 N. Elder, Wichita Kansas 350-3460 Charley Davidson - Beat Coordinator cdavidson@wichita.gov     ****************************NEW*************************   Attention:   16 beat did not have an significant increases in class one crimes over the month of December as compared to November.  Additionally, recently 16 beat saw a change in its boundaries.  The area which encompasses 16 beat is now Maple north to 13th Street and Tyler east to the big ditch. What do Community Police Officers do?   Beat Coordinators are fully commissioned Wichita Police Officers who are assigned to individual beats.  The coordinators’ purpose is to facilitate the beat team response to address issues that affect quality of life issues and crime on their beat in addition to coordinating activities to solve problems using other resources at their disposal. Beat coordinators are responsible for:   1.                  Coordinating a response for health code violations and animal complaints 2.                  Special assignments such as warrant sweeps, morals violations and other projects 3.                  Neighborhood clean-ups 4.                  Organizing sponsors, donations, food and security for neighborhood association projects 5.                  Follow-up on police cases for detectives 6.                  Large scale community projects involving other beat coordinators 7.         Organizing resources within the community       8.         Attending and participating in community meetings such as Neighborhood Associations and District Advisory Boards       9.          Identify and coordinate a response to crime trends on the beat.       Don't make doing a home inventory of your property an after thought. Take photos or video of your property and store in a safe place such as a fire safe or safe deposit box. Write down Make/Model/Serial numbers to your property, including tools and electronics. This information is valuable in the unfortunate event of a theft, fire or acts of God. This gives you and law enforcement the best chance of recovering your items or prove to your insurance company what you own when preparing a claim.   If you are going out of town, please call Patrol West at 350-3460 and ask for a vacation watch for your home, or send your information in via email from the "Vacation Home Watch" link on our WPD webpage. You can also email me at cdavidson@wichita.gov.  We will get some basic information and then put it on the 199 beat intelligence hub for all officers to see. When patrol time allows, officers will drive by your property. Also, get to know your neighbors and ask them to watch your property and call 911 if they see anything suspicious. Have your mail service and newspaper delivery suspended by contacting the post office and your paper carrier. When newspapers and mail begin to pile up it sends a loud signal to criminals that you are not home making you an easy victim.   Burglaries can happen anywhere at anytime. Don't take actions that  lead to your victimization.  Keep your doors and windows locked, even when you're home.  Install deadbolt locks on your doors. Get to know your neighbors and stay aware of who belongs in your neighborhood. Practice situational awareness.  Trim trees and shrubs to provide a clear view of your home. Keep your garage doors closed. If you see suspicious activity, people, or vehicles in your neighborhood, call 911.
