--- title: "Biegger Estates / Miller Plaza Project" type: "pdf" year: "1999" canonical: "/projects/692" --- Biegger Estates / Miller Plaza Project # A. Scanning: In late 1997 officers assigned to the Henry/John squads at SEAC noticed an increase in calls for service from the Biegger Estates and Miller Plaza housing projects. The calls included reports of illegal shooting, stabbings, burglaries, vehicle thefts, vandalism and other disturbances. There also was an increase in drug and gang activity. The officers realized the problem was not restricted to a single shift. Supervisors from all three shifts met and decided that a station wide effort would be conducted to see if calls for service could be reduced. This problem area was selected due to the rising level of violence. Officers who worked the area reported than many citizens were concerned for the safety of their children. Officers felt that a coordinated effort could reduce the calls for service load and increase citizens feeling of safety in their neighborhood. # Table of Contents - [A. Scanning:](#a-scanning) - [B.

Analysis: Officers Mike King, P4896 and Theresa Lethbridge, P4460 were tasked with analyzing the problems in the area. They conducted foot patrols, to establish a rapport with the residents. They reviewed crime analysis information provided by Information Services Bureau. They also conducted a resident survey in March 1998. The survey revealed that the officers' perceptions of the problem were correct. The consensus of the residents was that the level of violent crime had increased in the last six to eight months. More than $95 \%$ of the residents felt unsafe outside of their residences. More than $90 \%$ would not allow their children to play in the common areas of the projects. A review of crime reports and bookings determined that $75 \%$ of the crimes were being committed by visitors and family members of undesirable residents. These offenders were allowed to engage in illegal activity due to a lack of on site security and police presence. The crimes reported included shootings, stabbings, burglaries, vehicle thefts, vandalism and other disturbances. A meeting was held with the managers and residents in February 1998. Officers were told that up to this time the residents had contacted the managers rather than the police to report problems and crimes. The residents were afraid of retaliation if they were seen speaking to the police. Officers were also told, and the crime analysis verified, that the majority of the crime was occurring from the early evening to early morning hours. The residents once again told officers that the crimes were being committed to nonresident visitors to a few undesirable residents. # C. Response: The initial response was to increase enforcement in the affected areas, due to the frequency and severity of the crimes. A "zero tolerance" approach was taken by officers. Officers from all shifts were assigned to the area and were required to be in the area when they were not assigned to other calls. An SEAC Problem Scanning Officer was assigned to the project to assist the assigned shift officers with coordinating their activities. The P.S.O. also coordinated the response of Clark County Public Works, Silver State Disposal Service, Clark County Housing Authority, The Boys and Girls Club and other agencies who assisted in rejuvenating the neighborhoods. The officers assigned to the project were introduced to the residents and management at the meeting in February 1998. The residents were told to call the officers to report any problems. They were given the pager and cellular phone numbers for the project officers. The pagers and cellular phones were handed off to the oncoming shift by the previous shift officers. The main intent of the program was to create a positive working relationship between residents and the police. L.V.M.P.D. Crime Prevention personnel assisted management and tenants in implementing Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design techniques to reduce criminal acthiry. They also provided training to residents and management. Resident Councils were set up to help screen future tenants. These councils also assisted in the eviction proceedings for problem tenants. The management and residents of the area also committed to joining the L.V.M.P.D. Crime Free Multi-housing Program. A one year Federal Grant was obtained through the Las Vegas Housing Authority. This grant paid for the assignment of two uniformed foot patrol officers from August to October 1998. The foot patrol officers were assigned to handle calls, get to know the residents, and to reduce drug and gang activity. They were expected to handle all calls in the areas while they were on duty. The grant also paid for secret witness rewards, pagers, cellular phones and a computer system. Officers from all three shifts conducted directed patrols in the area on a regular basis. These directed patrols utilized patrol officers, Bike Teams, the Gang unit and other resources of the Department. These directed patrols resulted in the arrest of numerous drug dealers, gang members, and other criminals for various charges and warrants. In September 1998 a community cleanup was conducted to remove trash and graffiti. This cleanup served to unify the residents and help them take pride in their neighborhood. This seemed to be successful. The properties have since joined the Crime Free Multi-housing Program. # D. Assessment: The combined efforts appear to have been successful. The federal grant expired on March 15, 1999. Officers are still assigned to the project areas and it is in a maintenance mode. Crime appears to have been reduced in both areas. In March 1998, Miller Plaza reported 45 calls for service and five Incident Crime Reports. In March 1999, there were eight calls for service and one Incident Crime Report (see Perry Street graph). In March 1998, Biegger Estates reported 37 calls for service and six Incident Crime Reports. In March 1999, Biegger Estates reported 17 calls for service and two Incident Crime Reports (see 5701 Missouri graph). The Problem Scanning Officer reviewed crime reports on a weekly basis. He discussed the crime trends with the project officers. They implemented Directed Patrols and other activities based on this information and what intelligence they gathered from tenants and management. The P.S.O. and project officers met on a daily basis and continue to meet regularly. The foot patrols conducted by the community officers resulted in 80 Field Interview cards, 30 Trespass warnings, 41 citations for various charges, and 14 arrests. In addition to the foot patrols, other officers completed 133 Field Interview Cards, 101 Trespass warnings, and made 52 arrests. The goals of the project were accomplished with minor problems. The officers, residents and managers worked as a team to reduce violent crime, restoring a sense of community, and enhancing the quality of life in the neighborhoods. The results were measured using weekly crime analysis, Trespass logs, and copies of all reports, arrests and citations from the affected area. Based on the outcome of the project we were very satisfied with its effectiveness. We have not experienced as many illegal shooting calls since the start of the project. Citizens in the area report feeling safer and are willing to allow their children to play outside. There are strong Resident Councils at both properties. These councils continue to assist management with evictions and addressing other challenges that are not crime related. The Resident Councils continue to monitor their tenants. They assist in weeding out undesirables and assist in making their neighborhoods safe. Officers are still assigned to project and continue to conduct directed patrols in the area. However, they make far fewer arrests and use these activities as a means of maintaining a rapport with residents and management. We continue to work with management by notifying them of crime trends in the area. The P.S.O. continues to monitor the activity and reports in the project area and passes this information to all officers assigned to squads who work the area. This project has demonstrated what a concerted effort can accomplish. We must remain vigilant to ensure the area does not regress. # E. Agency \& Officer Information: The problem was initially recognized in September 1997 by P.S.O. Bruce Harper who noticed an increase in criminal activity within the communities. He spoke to Officers Mike King and Theresa Lethbridge who began to conduct foot patrols in the neighborhoods to gather intelligence. Officers King and Lethbridge met with management and residents and set up the initial meetings. Officer King transferred to another assignment and was replaced by Officer Cindy may in December 1997. Officer Lethbridge left the project due to an injury in January 1998. Officer May continues to be the lead officer on the project. All officers assigned to the project attended training in Problem Solving Policing and Community Policing. Management and tenants received training on the L.V.M.P.D. Crime Free Multi-housing Project. All of the money obtained in the Housing Authority grant was utilized. Officers received no additional incentives for participation in the project. On April 20, 1999 Officer May was given an award by the Biegger Estates Board of Directors for spearheading the effort for the last year. ## Project Contact Person: Police Officer Cindy May, PN4015 Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Southeast Area Command 2300 E.
