## Summary

## Hollywood, Florida Police Department

## Scanning:

Domestic Violence is a concern for our community and society as a whole. Studies have shown offenders who are prone to domestic related incidents are also involved in other crimes which occur outside the home and within the community. Research and experience shows many of the most violent criminals have been arrested or involved in incidents of Domestic Violence. Most Police Departments allocate a large portion of resources to Domestic Violence calls for service, follow up investigations and post arrest prosecutorial efforts to combat the ongoing problem of Domestic Violence.

## Analysis:

In 2014, Hollywood Patrol Officers responded to 5,447 Domestic Disturbance/Violence incidents. Thirty three percent of our homicides were domestic related. Traditional approaches have been strongly victim focused, with a heavy emphasis on removing themselves from abusive settings. Not enough attention has been paid to holding the offender accountable.

## Response:

Sergeant Cady, who supervises the Domestic Violence Unit, learned about a comprehensive combination of strategies referred to as "Focused Deterrence." The High Point Police Department in North Carolina had been using this innovative program with success. The strategy focuses on the offenders at earlier stages of offending. This strategy aims to deter violent behavior by chronic repeat offenders, by reaching out directly to these offenders, setting clear standards for their behavior, and backing up the message by utilizing every legal means available ("Lever Pulling") when those standards are violated. An important aspect of this strategy is cooperation and coordination between all parties and entities involved in the criminal justice system and within the community. The Offender Focused Domestic Violence Initiative had to be implemented through several phrases.

## Assessment:

We officially began the implementation of the Initiative in May of 2015. There are still phases to complete, but our statistics are showing positive results. There has been a

19\% decrease in Domestic Violence incidents and a 34\% increase in Domestic Violence arrests.

# Offender Focused Domestic Violence Initiative 

## Hollywood, Florida Police Department

The City of Hollywood is located in Broward County, Florida. It covers approximately 30 square miles and is Broward's third largest municipality with a population of roughly 145,000 residents. Hollywood Police Department has 315 sworn Police Officers.

## Scanning:

Domestic Violence is a concern for our community and society as a whole. Studies have shown offenders who are prone to domestic related incidents are also involved in other crimes which occur outside the home and within the community. Research and experience shows many of the most violent criminals have been arrested or involved in incidents of Domestic Violence. Most police departments allocate a large portion of resources to Domestic Violence calls for service, follow up investigations and post arrest prosecutorial efforts to combat the ongoing problem of Domestic Violence. In March 2015, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention stated, "On average 20 people per minute are victims of physical violence by an intimate partner in the United States."

## Analysis:

The analysis relied on observations, research, studies, calls for service data, review of crime incidents, crime analysis, and criminal histories of offenders.

In 2014, Hollywood Patrol Officers responded to 5,447 Domestic Disturbance/Violence incidents. Our four Domestic Violence Detectives were averaging a case load of approximately 65 cases per Detective, at any given time, creating an ineffective and inefficient means of conducting investigations. Thirty three percent of our homicides in 2014 were domestic related.

Domestic violence incidents are not influenced by a particular race or ethnicity. It is not predominately a "poor" or "rich" issue. It is an equal opportunity crime.

Prior to the Offender Focused Domestic Violence Initiative, Officers would respond to a domestic violence incident and simply take a report if the offender had already fled the area. Two to three days later the report would be sent to one of the Domestic Violence Detectives for follow up. The Detective would make contact with the victim, who normally by now had already reconciled with the offender ("honeymoon phase"). The victim would refuse to cooperate and the domestic violence cycle would begin again.

Offenders were not held accountable for their actions. Incidents were researched based off locations. If an offender moved or started the cycle again with a different victim, there was no way to deter them. Review of criminal histories indicated offenders being arrested for aggravated batteries, armed robberies, and other violent crimes almost always had a domestic violence incident in their history.

# Response: 

This "Focused Deterrence" approach uses Domestic Violence statutes not only to help the victim, but to remove violent criminals from society who are committing a multitude of other crimes. Sergeant Cady learned about "Focused Deterrence" and attended training in High Point, North Carolina. The High Point Police Department (first in the nation to implement this strategy) had successfully been using "Focused Deterrence" with domestic violence offenders. "Focused Deterrence" attempts to deter violent behavior of chronic offenders, by reaching out directly to these offenders, setting clear standards for their behavior, and backing up the message by utilizing every legal means available when those standards are violated, also known as "pulling levers policing." Sergeant Cady believed our community could benefit from this innovative program.

In January 2015, the Hollywood Police Department began to implement its "Offender Focused Domestic Violence Initiative" (OFDVI). The purpose of this initiative was to change the paradigm, while internalizing within our agency this new concept of how we identify and investigate domestic violence offenders within the community. The Initiative involved a change in philosophy and procedures for investigating Domestic Violence

cases, implemented in several phases. The Initiative focuses on repeat offenders of Domestic Violence by identifying the most repetitive and violent offenders and holding them accountable and stripping them of their anonymity, while continuing to pursue justice through all of the investigate stages, including bond court, trial, sentencing, and probation.

The first phase of the Initiative was to develop a repeat offenders' database (see Appendix A), gathering real time specific data on repeat offenders. This had to be done organically since all current operating systems were built to track location rather than offenders. Using historical and real time data collection along with a new comprehensive approach to the practical application of investigating Domestic Violence, Crime Intelligence Analyst Tara Hazel began data mining information daily to build the first Domestic Violence repeat offender log for the City of Hollywood.

Intelligence Analyst Hazel uses a multi-step process creating a platform procedure to obtain and maintain needed information for the Initiative. This new database now allows us to capture previously dismissed or mis-tracked information and has provided Patrol Officers and Detectives from the Domestic Violence Unit the opportunity to make more effective and intelligible arrests. It also allows more investigative efforts to be focused on the most violent offenders and allows Patrol Officers more information on who they are dealing with related to prior Domestic Violence incidents.

Simultaneously, Sergeant Cady rewrote the Domestic Violence policy. The updated policy empowered first responding Officers to initiate "not in custody" probable cause affidavits for domestic battery charges, where probable cause existed and the offender fled the scene before police arrived. This addressed the issue of accountability for the offender's action. Wanted/BOLO Flyers are disseminated department wide within hours of the paperwork being completed. This change in policy assisted with changing the mindset of our Officers. They began to proactively search for these Offenders, not just during their shifts, but in the following days.

Another change in the policy is to immediately utilize Domestic Violence Detectives on all felony domestic offenses whether the offender is in custody or not. Statements of

cases at a felony level were not taken from victims until the case was assigned, creating a problem with obtaining statements. We found most domestic violence victims were not cooperative once a period of time had passed. Victims were more willing to provide a statement at the time of the incident regardless of whether the offender was in custody or not. The ability to get a victim's statement creates better cases for the prosecution and provides a possibility of moving forward with a case even if the victim refuses to corroborate later at the prosecutorial level. This allows us to take statements real time and show the victim our agency is dedicated to combating Domestic Violence.

The next phase, which began in April, was to categorize the repeat offenders' database. Domestic offenders are classified based upon their predisposition for violence. The initial domestic related incident, along with the totality of the offender's criminal history sets the classification in which they are ranked. The classification spans from placement on the A, B, C, or D list. The most violent offenders with the highest propensity for violence are classified on the A-List (see Appendix B) and the repeat aggressors are classified on the D-List (see Appendix C). By monitoring all repeat offenders and tracking all future police contacts through our records management system, it allows offenders to be progressively moved through our system from D-Listers to A- Listers. It also allows us to monitor their behavior. The concept is to get ahead of the D-Listers prior to a physical incident and or injury to a victim occurs. This is done through means of a letter (see Appendix D), delivered directly to the offender (D-Lister) by a Uniformed Police Officer. The Officers receive training from Sergeant Cady on how to deliver and explain the letter. The letters advise offenders we're aware of their behavior and what behavior is expected moving forward. The Officer advises the offender of assistance programs and services available to them, such as anger management classes, addiction treatment, financial aid, job placement, life coaching and treatment programs. These are all included in an informational pamphlet the offender receives from the Officer (see Appendix E). The objective is to prevent the reoccurrence of domestic related incidents by reducing potential life stressors. If the standards mentioned in the deterrence message are violated, the offender progresses into a higher category of the program gaining additional attention from Officers and Detectives. It has been proven the deterrence message with the warning of punishment can for many, be just as

psychologically effective as punishment itself. The delivery of the letters has the extra benefit of another contact with the victim, thus letting them know we take Domestic Violence seriously and they are not forgotten.

The next phase was creating an offender focused domestic violence workgroup. This was accomplished on May 24, 2015. Sergeant Cady facilitated a comprehensive workshop which was attended by Judges from the $17^{\text {th }}$ Judicial Circuit, Prosecutors from the State Attorney's Office, Probation and Parole Supervisors, Federal Prosecutors, Victim Advocates, Emergency Room Nurses, and Mental Health facilitators. This workgroup enables all aspects of the criminal justice system to work together to combat Domestic Violence incidents and hold offenders accountable. One hugely successful benefit from the workshop was the Bond Court appearance. Once the Bond Court Judge and Attorney became aware of our program, we routinely sent Detectives to speak on behalf of the victim and/or accompany them. The victim has been allowed to elaborate not only about the incident which created the arrest, but past patterns of abuse and long term victim concerns.

Additionally we have created a strong partnership with the Department of Probation and Parole. We share our repeat offender logs with them to cross reference with their records. This provides information as to which a probationary offender has had police contact which may be a violation of their community control condition. We also conduct quarterly probation inspections with the Department of Probation for individuals on our repeat offender log, currently on probation residing within our City.

The next phase of the Initiative was providing letters to offenders arrested for acts of Domestic Violence (see Appendix F). Those arrested are categorized as C-Listers (see Appendix G). C-List Letters are distributed by Detectives or the arresting Officer if a Detective is unavailable. These offenders receive higher levels of scrutiny from our agency and our outside law enforcement allies of the program.

Throughout these phases we were reaching out to community leaders and stakeholders through Civic Associations, Town Hall Meetings and Churches in an effort to broaden awareness of the program and develop community cooperation. In November 2015,

Sergeant Cady was the guest speaker at the "Pearls, Pumps, and Purple" Domestic Violence Awareness party. An article explaining the Initiative was written for the Hollywood New Horizons Newspaper, which is distributed quarterly to all residents in Hollywood. In March 2016, Sergeant Cady was the guest speaker at the Children's Services Council's Domestic Violence Prevention Strategic Plan Committee. Sergeant Cady was interviewed by several local news stations during the months of March and April 2015 regarding the Initiative. In October 2015, the Hollywood Police Department was awarded "Program of the Year" by the Broward Domestic Violence Council.

Although this Initiative is offender focused, the victims are not overlooked. High Point Police Department and Greensboro University identified an immediate benefit of their program was a rise in victims seeking and utilizing services offered. The Initiative strives to empower victims. Our Victim Advocates send letters mirroring the offenders' letters to all victims of Domestic Violence. The letters explain the Initiative and our dedication to the victims. It provides information on services available to them and contact numbers for them to utilize. We implemented efforts to obtain medical record releases from the victim at the time of the incident in order to build "stand alone" cases and assist the State Attorney's Office with the possibility of moving forward against the most violent repeat offender even if the victim decides to recant or refuses to assist. Studies show it can take up eight (8) incidents before a victim will prosecute; we feel focusing on building cases that can allow victimless prosecution can stop the cycle and prevent further injury or death.

The intelligence being gathered for Domestic Violence repeat offenders is unprecedented for our police agency and agencies in Florida. From the Chief of Police to the Patrol Officer, all now have a disciplined awareness and focused desire to combat domestic violence. Information is constantly cycled throughout the Police Department; from the weekly repeat offenders' logs, to the monthly A-Lister power point, which cycles on our line-up room monitors. We track Domestic Violence repeat offenders on probation for any crime and share it department wide. Every repeat offender is checked through NCIC and FCIC as they are added to the log. If any

offender is discovered to have an active extraditable national and/or state warrant, a BOLO/Pick Up flyer is issued department wide.

# Assessment: 

We officially began the implementation of the Initiative in May of 2015. There are still phases to complete, but our statistics are showing positive results. There has been a 19\% decrease in Domestic Violence incidents and a 34\% increase in Domestic Violence arrests (see Appendix H).

Our Patrol Officers have completed 187 "not in custody" probable cause affidavits. We have taken 116 of those into custody ( 35 cases were declined by the State Attorney's Office due to the victims recanting their statements). We currently have 1244 Repeat Offenders in our database.

The letters began to be distributed in May 2015. Thus far, the delivery of our D-List offenders in person by uniformed officers has successfully altered a large portion of the group's behavior. We have delivered 210 D-list letters and have responded back to only 48 of those offenders, showing a 23 percent recidivism rate (see Appendix I). Sergeant Cady, who reviews all domestic violence reports, has noticed repeat offenders are being affected through the D-List Letter deterrence message. Offenders who have received D-List Letters are proactively calling the police during domestic disputes they are involved in prior to the other party calling or violence occurring. The C-List letters are distributed by Detectives or the arresting Officer. We have delivered 263 C-List letters and have responded back to only 11 of those offenders, showing a 4 percent recidivism rate (see Appendix J). The national average for repeat domestic offenders is between 25 to 30 percent.

The appearance of Domestic Violence Detectives at bond hearings have led to enhanced bonds and GPS tracking for offenders, which further protects the victims.

As the community learns of our new Initiative, we are seeing offenders responding to our Police Department with their attorney to surrender. Subsequently, this Initiative has allowed Domestic Violence Detectives the time to provide more quality services and provide a more personal police experience for the victim. The Police Department in

general has become more focused on domestic violence and the multiple facets involved with the cycles of violence created by domestic violence offenders. This has internalized the program department wide and created a more knowledgeable Patrol Officer to combat domestic violence.

These efforts have shown us the victims actually feel more empowered to contact law enforcement and provide enhanced cooperation throughout the process. We have seen an increase of victims calling or responding to the Police Department thanking our Detectives and Officers for "caring so much."

This Initiative is fluid and is constantly progressing. We are currently working on a strategy to address our B-Listers. Those offenders would be ones who were already arrested for domestic violence and reoffended. We are working with the Department of Probation and Parole on this phase of the Initiative.

We are striving to create a unified Governmental message about Domestic Violence, which could be shared throughout South Florida. Ideally, we want this Initiative to expand to other cities and counties, with the ability to share the offender data base. The ability to expand and share the information would deter offenders from simply moving to another city. Sergeant Cady and Analyst Hazel have already presented the program to other agencies located in the State of Florida to include the Pembroke Pines Police Department and Walton County Sheriff's Office. We've received phone calls from Hallandale Beach Police Department and Seminole County who also have interest in the Initiative.

We are in the process of building a High School Awareness Program for dating violence. Our Victim Advocates will work with the high school's guidance counselors. We are also partnering with Women in Distress to create the program. A meeting has already been scheduled with the Principal of South Broward High School to start this program there.

We will be looking to assist Women in Distress with a Victim Advocate Center. Currently, a victim must respond to the Central Courthouse to obtain a protection order. This center would be staffed with counselors and staff from Women in Distress and the Department of Children and Family. Victims would be able to come to the Center for counseling, assistance with child care, employment searches or assistance with completing the paperwork to obtain emergency protections.

Professor David Kennedy stated, "When a woman whose name we know is at dire threat from a man whose name we know, then it should be our obligation to stop him. It

should not be her obligation to upend her life so that she could be safe. In my mind that still makes the victim the most important, but it moves the focus from her to him."

## "D" List Letter

**Date:** 1/6/16

**Offender Name:**

I am writing to let you know that members of the Hollywood Police Department are taking a new focused approach in preventing future acts of domestic violence. Because of the domestic-related call involving you on (incident date), this letter is your official notice that your name has been added to a watch list. The watch list will be reviewed daily by detectives assigned to the Hollywood Police Domestic Violence Unit, who will be looking for any additional complaints regarding domestic violence-related activity involving you. Domestic Violence Detectives will consider complaints from any source: officers, neighbors, family members, a witness, a friend, or the victim.

Domestic violence-related crimes include threats, trespassing, damage to property, simple assaults, simple battery, harassment, stalking, sexual battery, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, and all violations of court-ordered injunctions related to you as a respondent (to include pretrial/post bond release agreements).

Tomas Sanchez, Chief of Police, has ordered that our number one priority will be to focus on domestic violence offenders. Unannounced police checks on your residence may be conducted. Further incidents involving you will be documented, reviewed, and acted upon by every legal means necessary.

Consider this letter as notice of our commitment to identifying and apprehending those who engage in and are responsible for acts of domestic violence. You need to be aware that it is our policy that an officer will make an arrest whenever probable cause exists. We consider this fair warning so you can avoid criminal charges, court appearances, and possible imprisonment.

The Hollywood Police Department does understand that numerous circumstances outside the scope of your domestic relationship may have contributed to your current status on our list. Please see the included brochure which will better explain our program and offer assistance programs at the City, County, and State levels.

Sincerely,

Sergeant Rhett Cady
Domestic Violence Unit
Hollywood Police Department

Our Mission: We are dedicated to providing municipal services for our diverse community in an atmosphere of cooperation, courtesy, and respect. We do this by ensuring all who live, work, and play in the City of Hollywood enjoy a high quality of life.

# DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
# OFFENDER FOCUSED
# PROGRAM

The Hollywood Police Department is working
with the Department of Justice, the Broward
State Attorney's Office and the Department of
Corrections-Probation and Parole Division to use
every legal means to prevent victims of domestic
violence from being re-injured and to punish repeat
offenders. This is called "Focused Deterrence." This
means your name has been placed on our watch
list because of a report of domestic violence. We
want you to understand that domestic violence is
a crime and we will not ignore it. Officers conduct
random checks of your residence and will answer
any questions you may have about what will
happen if there is another incident of domestic
violence.

We, at the Hollywood Police Department,
understand most couples and families would prefer
to live without violence. Money problems, parenting
problems, health problems, gambling, drinking and
drugs are all challenges that make it harder to
avoid poor choices and decisions when relating
to our families and intimate partners. Sometimes
people do things the way they've always done
them or seen them done because they don't know
any other way. Review the resources on the back of
this card to help you make changes to avoid family
and legal problems in the future.

## |C" List Letter

**Date:** 1/5/16

**Offender Name:**

Because of your arrest in the most recent domestic related incident on (date of incident), I am writing to let you know that members of the Hollywood Police Department are taking a new focused approach in preventing future acts of domestic violence. This letter is your official notice that your name has been added to a watch list for "C" list offenders. The watch list will be reviewed daily by detectives assigned to the Hollywood Police Domestic Violence Unit, who will be looking for any additional complaints regarding domestic violence-related activity involving you. Domestic Violence Detectives will consider complaints from any source: officers, neighbors, family members, a witness, a friend or the victim.

Your status as a "C" list offender brings you closer to a possible prison sentence. This status with the Domestic Violence Unit means you are now being targeted for closer attention, scrutiny and/or penalties by our agency. We will continue to look systematically, for any complaints about domestic violence related activity involving you. Stop your violent actions now.

Understand that under Federal and State Law, individuals under an Injunction For Protection Against Domestic/Dating or Repeat Violence, a Pre-Trial Release Agreement, or who have been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence cannot have in their care, custody, possession, or control any firearm or ammunition. Officers who believe probable cause exists that an offense of domestic violence took place must make an arrest. This includes incidents which create a well-founded fear, that without an arrest, a future act of violence may occur. We consider this fair warning so you can avoid additional criminal charges, court appearances and possible imprisonment.

Domestic violence related crimes include threats, trespassing, damage to property, simple assaults, simple battery, harassment, stalking, sexual battery, aggravated assault, aggravated battery and all violations of court ordered injunctions related to you as a respondent (to include pretrial/post bond release agreements). Tomas Sanchez, Chief of Police has ordered that our number one priority will be to focus on domestic violence offenders. Unannounced police checks on your residence may be conducted. Further incidents involving you will be documented, reviewed and acted upon by every legal means necessary.

It's time to stop and preserve your freedom.
