Memphis Police Department

2013 Station and Ward Reconfiguration

Call and Offense Counts

Toney Armstrong, Director

The 2011 draft of the Police Executive Research Forum Report (PERF) suggested that officers should be re-allocated to even the call load among precincts. The MPD Crime Analysis Unit, the University of Memphis and the MPD Command Staff reviewed 2010, 2011 and 2012 calls for service citywide and by precinct. MPD staff identified a huge disparity in the number of calls for service among precincts. For example, in 2011 Old Allen Officers answered 116,996 calls for service while South Main Station answered a mere 54,828 calls for service. This has become an "Officer Safety issue". There are times when the call load at the Old Allen Station is so heavy, that officers cannot get on the air to call for assistance. Dispatchers routinely express concern about working Old Allen Station's Radio frequency. Taking this into consideration, the decision was made to reconfigure the precinct and ward boundaries to create a more even distribution of the call load and to allow for a more efficient allocation of personnel and resources. Precinct Boundaries were adjusted to level the number of calls for service while also observing the effects of natural and man-made geographical boundaries which may influence response times. These boundaries include interstates, waterways, railroads, and jurisdictional boundaries. Patrol Districts in each precinct were created using the same criteria. In achieving this, some precincts and some patrol districts have become larger while others have become smaller.

Introduction

Continued on next page

For example, Tillman Station has been redistricted to a smaller geographical area with a lower number of annual calls. Tillman Station received a total of 91,752 calls in the current boundaries, but using the new boundaries they would only have answered 80,389 calls. The new geographical boundaries correct what we believe to be grossly underserved areas of the City of Memphis and allow precincts to be more competitive in their crime fighting efforts. MPD and the University of Memphis have Geocoded all incident reports in the Vision RMS system. Records in the RMS are being updated to reflect the new ward boundaries. This will allow us to provide accurate data on all of our statistics. Manpower is being redeployed based upon statistical history of crime. This is in keeping with everything that MPD has done since 2006. Months of planning and decision making have gone into this project to make sure that this transition flows as smoothly as possible. These changes are being made in order to equalize the number of calls in each district. These changes will allow the MPD to become a proactive police department rather than a reactive department. Flare ups of crime are closely monitored by precinct commanders and are addressed by adding more manpower to an affected area by reallocation of Precinct Taskforces and Special Operations Units. The Memphis Police Department remains committed to providing the best possible service to the citizens of our city, and we believe that this reconfiguration of our stations and wards will improve our capability to provide that service.

Call and Offense Totals for New Boundaries

In the new boundary protocol each precinct will have 6 Wards, so the target number for

each ward is equal to the total number of calls or offenses divided by six.
