Bozeman Police Department 2011 Annual Report
CHIEF’S MESSAGE
It is an honor and a pleasure to present the 2011 Annual Report of the
Bozeman Police Department. I am extremely proud of the men and women,
both sworn officers and civilian employees that make up our police
department. This report provides insight into our budget, staffing, and
department organization as well as statistical data regarding crime, police
activities and response times to calls for service.
During the course of the last year we have witnessed significant change within
the department. A reorganization was completed to better provide leadership,
accountability and community outreach. As part of that move, the Downtown
Office was implemented and staffed, providing the downtown businesses and nearby residential areas a
consistent police presence.
We continue to move steadily forward in our recruiting, hiring and training of new officers. In 2007, the
citizens of our community voted to increase the size of the police department to meet the needs of a city that
had rapidly outpaced its law enforcement resources. Since that time we have increased our sworn officer
strength from 47 to 60. We expect to reach our authorized strength of 65 officers by the end of 2012. This will
enable officers to focus attention and enforcement on specific problem issues and partner with the community
and other resources in identifying long-term solutions.
One can always strive to work harder, but it is equally important to work smarter. We have increased our use of
technology to assist not only the officers but the community. The public now has near real-time access to crime
information and can request notifications of activity that occurred near their homes or businesses. In addition,
community members now have the option of on-line reporting certain types of crimes and other incidents. They
can deliver crime tips, initiate complaints or commendations and request further information or contact from an
officer.
Services come at a budgetary cost. One of our obligations is to be good steward s of the funds provided to us by
the taxpayers. As the largest general fund tax supported part of city government, we have a particularly
important role in ensuring that citizens receive good value for their investment. I am proud to say that as these
changes and increases in service delivery continue to be introduced, we have done so without programmatic or
operational budget increases.
I want to thank the citizens of Bozeman and our elected officials for providing us with the guidance and
resources to accomplish our mission, and our employees for their commitment to provide for a safe and secure
community.
Sincerely,
Ron Price

Bozeman Police Department 2011 Annual Report
BUDGET OVERVIEW
The Bozeman Police Department is operating on a budget of $6,787,879
for fiscal year 2012. The main source of this money is tax-based, but
other funding sources include drug forfeitures, grants, and donations
toward a specific program. This budget amount includes all projected
costs of personnel salaries and benefits, uniforms, training, equipment,
supplies, contracted services and capital improvement purchases, such as
the replacement of police cars.
In addition to funding uniform patrol officers, this budget funds our detective and support services divisions.
Included within this budget are the services provided by the animal control officers, a parking enforcement
officer, drug enforcement services of the detectives assigned to the Missouri River Drug Task Force, our School
Resource Officers and the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E. program).
Careful consideration is given in assembling each year’s budget, with an understanding that we have been
entrusted to be the stewards of the public’s money. This is a responsibility we take seriously. As an example, at
the end of fiscal year 2011, the police department returned to the city’s general fund approximately $827,000 of
unspent funds equaling approximately 11% of our fiscal year 2011 budget. A large part of these unspent funds
came as a result of not filling all sworn officer vacancies and the related costs that go with medical exams,
training and outfitting these officers.
Preparation of future budgets is based on the previous year’s actual expenditures, identified needs and careful
forecasting. Though predicting future needs can be difficult, experience and thoughtful planning have taught us
to be accurate, reasonable and sound in our budgetary requests.

CRIME STATISTICS
Members of the Bozeman Police Department respond to dispatched calls and initiate activity based on their own
observations. Together, these incidents are referred to as calls for service. State-wide crime reporting is based
on a category referred to as “Index Crimes”. The index crimes are identified as reported incidents of Homicide,
Rape, Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Larceny and Motor Vehicle Theft.
It is through the use of this index that rates can be compared across a span of years and beside other
jurisdictions. The information displayed shows the raw total of crime data (Index Crimes) and the number of
crimes per 1,000 population (Crime Rate).

PATROL DIVISION
The Patrol Division is comprised of three shifts of uniformed patrol
officers and patrol sergeants who perform a multitude of tasks, to
include traffic enforcement, responding to emergencies, investigating
criminal activity, and conducting proactive patrol. The Patrol Division
operates around the clock every day of the year and generally handles
over 85% of the department’s calls for service. The division is also
staffed with a civilian Police Information Specialist.
PATROL BEATS
The city is divided into three patrol beats for the purpose of equally distributing police resources around the
city. This increases public safety and police service in a number of ways to include better patrol officer
allocation throughout the city, decreased response times, and increased police visibility. Patrol beats also allow
our officers to become more familiar with the neighborhoods and businesses they patrol along with public
safety issues that may be specific to that area of the city.

Bozeman Police Department 2011 Annual Report
PATROL S PECIALTY AREAS
Two officers are assigned to a full time dedicated Traffic
Unit. Their primary duties are traffic enforcement and crash
investigations, as well as helping resolve vehicle and
pedestrian traffic problem areas throughout the city. In
2011, the Traffic Unit stopped 1,541 unsafe drivers,
investigated 381 crashes, conducted 268 patrol checks and
assisted 107 motorists.
To supplement our proactive traffic enforcement
capabilities, the Bozeman Police Department utilized grant
monies provided by the Montana Department of
Transportation. Officers conducted nearly 240 hours of
additional traffic enforcement patrols with a primary focus
on occupant protections and impaired driving. During these emphasis patrols, our officers issued 558 citations
and made 19 arrests, all while greatly decreasing unsafe driving behavior with no additional cost to Bozeman
taxpayers.
In 2011, two of our officers were trained as Drug
Recognition Experts (DRE), allowing them to evaluate a
person by conducting specialized tests and observing a
variety of indicators to determine if they are under the
influence of a controlled substance. Since becoming
certified in March of 2011, these two officers have conducted
19 evaluations. Many of the persons evaluated were arrested
and charged with driving under the influence of drugs.
Having access to a DRE can also give officers an opportunity
to steer their traffic stop investigation in a different direction.
On one such stop, a DRE officer felt the offender was under
the influence of methamphetamine based on his evaluation.
A search of the offender’s vehicle produced a large quantity of illegal narcotics.
Our K9 Program consists of two patrol
officers and their canines Cage and Taco. The
K9 program serves both the community and
our officers by providing patrol functions as
well as conducting searches of buildings,
vehicles and other property for suspects and
illegal substances. Our K9 teams conducted
32 drug sniffs in residences and vehicles, 8
tracks of suspects, and 29 searches of
buildings where evidence showed forced entry
was made by a suspect. In late 2011, K9 Cage
retired at the age of 13 years after proudly
serving the Bozeman Police Department for
over two years as well as an additional 7 years with his handler at his previous agencies. Since then, the
Bozeman Police Department partnered with the Bozeman Lion’s Club to purchase a new K9, scheduled to be
trained in April 2012. We wish Cage a healthy retirement.

Bozeman Police Department 2011 Annual Report
Our Mountain Bike Patrol Officers focus their attention on areas of
the city not generally accessible by a police car. The Bozeman
Police Department trained six bike officers in 2011, bringing the
total number of bike officers
within the department to 24. To
increase our effectiveness within
our beat systems, officers patrol
their beats with a bicycle on a
trunk rack of their patrol car. With
the officer already in their patrol
beat they can quickly deploy a
bicycle as needs arise. Our bike officers also regularly appear at special
events such as bike rodeos and parades.
Our Honor Guard and its members provide the department with a specially
trained ceremonial team to render honors and preserve tradition. They provide guidance and uniformity while
performing ceremonies throughout the year, including funerals, formal services and other events.
The Gallatin County Critical Incident Stress
Management Team is a multi-agency group of
community volunteers which includes officers from
the Bozeman Police Department. This team is
dedicated to assist county-wide emergency services
personnel in dealing with the stress our first
responders deal with each and every day.
In 2011, our combined city-county Special Response
Team (SRT) responded to two barricaded subject
incidents. This was in contrast to the eight high-risk incidents involving barricaded and/or armed subjects the
team responded to in 2010. The team is comprised of officers from both the Bozeman Police Department and
the Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office. In 2011, our
team again took first place at the Mountain States
Tactical Officer’s Association Tactical Team
Competition held in Helena, Montana.
The team has won this
competition five of
the last seven years.
Our team maintains a
high level of training
to ensure they are
prepared for high-risk
incidents that threaten
public safety.

Bozeman Police Department 2011 Annual Report
DETECTIVE DIVISION
The detectives are responsible for investigating felony criminal activity,
conducting background checks on prospective employees, assisting other agencies
with criminal investigations and presenting public education seminars.
2011 was a year of change for the division with a number of personnel changes
due to promotions. During the year, two new detectives, a new school resource officer and a new detective
sergeant were assigned to the division.
DETECTIVE SPECIALTY AREAS
The Bozeman Police Department is a member of the Montana Internet Crimes
against Children (ICAC) Task Force. The Montana ICAC Task Force is part of a
nationwide initiative to enhance investigative response to computer-facilitated crimes
against children. Our ICAC investigator conducts both proactive and reactive
investigations to protect children from online predators.
In addition to criminal investigations, the Montana ICAC Task Force provides education to the public on
computer-facilitated child exploitation. To that end, the ICAC detective has conducted several presentations for
elementary students in Bozeman on the dangers of the Internet, sexting, cyber-bullying, and online predators.
In support of the ICAC mission, we continue to present a yearly Protecting Our Children seminar for parents
and caregivers to help them understand the technologies that children are using and the dangers they face
online.
The Bozeman Police Department’s Sexual and Violent Offender Registry Program
is responsible for ensuring that all violent and sexual offenders residing in the city
limits of Bozeman have registered a current address with our department as required by
Montana law. Registration also ensures that the department has current photographs,
fingerprints and DNA samples of subjects living in our area that are convicted of
qualifying offenses. In 2011, 23 sex offenders and 38 violent offenders were registered
and monitored by the Bozeman Police Department and listed on the Montana
Department of Justice website for public access. Our patrol officers physically verified
the residency of every offender registered within the city limits to ensure compliance.
Two detectives from the Bozeman Police Department are assigned to the
Missouri River Drug Task Force (MRDTF), with focused investigation on
regional drug enforcement. In 2011, the detectives investigated cases
involving the possession, distribution or manufacture of dangerous drugs, and
fraudulently obtaining prescription drugs. These cases resulted in charges
ranging from single to multiple felony charges. MRDTF detectives also
investigated complex conspiracy cases involving multiple subjects involved
in transporting significant amounts of dangerous drugs into Montana and

distributing them. These cases generally resulted in charges related to violations of federal crimes. These
investigations frequently involved the assistance of other regional drug task force detectives in Montana and
Idaho as well as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, and Homeland
Security.
With the increasing amount of medical marijuana available, the detectives were involved in interpreting and
enforcing this new section of Montana law. Incidents that were determined to be illegal activity were dealt with
according to state drug laws. Crimes involving firearm violations and other drug-related crimes were frequently
investigated. Aside from criminal cases, the two detectives submitted civil forfeiture paperwork, resulting in
the seizure of currency and vehicles. They conducted numerous drug educational talks to various local groups
and assisted area detectives in the investigation of crimes unrelated to dangerous drugs.
In just one federal methamphetamine conspiracy case this year, seven subjects were indicted and pled guilty to
federal charges related to the transportation and distribution of methamphetamine. Numerous undercover
methamphetamine cases were initiated in 2010 in regards to this conspiracy, which led to federal criminal
indictments during 2011.
The Bozeman Police Department provides one-half level funding for an
Evidence Technician position that is shared with the Gallatin County
Sheriff’s Office. During 2011, the Evidence Technician managed
evidence from approximately 800 cases. These cases were generated
by the Bozeman Police Department, Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office,
Missouri River Drug Task Force and Gallatin County Coroner’s Office.
In addition to documentation, storage and proper disposal of evidence,
the technician is responsible for crime scene response, processing items for fingerprints and other trace evidence
and forwarding items to the Montana State Crime Lab for examination. This year an Automated Fingerprint
Identification System (AFIS) was added to our capabilities and connection to the FBI database is in progress.
SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS
In partnership with the Bozeman School District, our department continues to ensure the safety of over 5,500
children in our school system. We have two School Resource Officers (SRO’s) assigned to these duties full-
time, with the funding being shared with the school district. The goals of the School Resource Program are to
collaboratively work with educators, students, parents, and the community to provide a safe school
environment, and to offer law-related educational programs in the schools in an effort to reduce crime, drug
abuse, and violence.
In 2011, our two SRO’s handled over 240 criminal reports. These complaints included fights in progress,
thefts, truancy, and other offenses. SRO’s are often involved in not only the initial report from a victim, but in
identifying the offender and meeting with parents and school officials on how best to proceed. SRO’s are also
responsible for establishing safety plans to contend with potentially violent students.

Bozeman Police Department 2011 Annual Report
Recently, the SRO educational program has expanded to some individual instruction with those students who
are identified as at risk or in need of some extra help.
Focused mentorship and instruction includes dealing
with rumor and bullying issues, career guidance, and
help at home. Most importantly, the SRO’s provide an
open door for students to address concerns they may
have.
The current D.A.R.E program provides a research-based
curriculum to all third and fifth grade students in the
Bozeman School District. These lessons include
stranger danger, Internet safety, drug prevention and
bullying as well as life skills to resist alcohol, drugs,
tobacco and violence.
The program is being taught by Officer Abram
Antonucci, who completed D.A.R.E school in April 2011. More than 700 students in the Bozeman School
District were taught D.A.R.E. in 2011. The Bozeman D.A.R.E officer also provides instruction to schools in
Gallatin County, to include Amsterdam, Anderson, LaMotte, Malmborg, and Monforton.
The Bozeman Police D.A.R.E program became a sponsor of the “Stuff a Bus” campaign this year, helping to
collect coats, shoes and clothes for homeless school children. In July of 2011, the D.A.R.E program organized
a running event to raise funds for this important cause.
SUPPORT SERVICES DIVISION
The Support Services Division is responsible for animal control, parking enforcement, fleet
maintenance, training, recruitment and hiring, uniforms and equipment and community outreach programs such
as the Citizen's Police Academy, National Night Out, and the Bozeman Police Business League.
The Bozeman Police Department Animal Control Unit has
one full-time and one quarter-time animal control officer, and
is assisted by the patrol division. Their primary duties include
dealing with failure to leash, vaccinate or license dogs or cats.
They also assist with loose livestock, wildlife at large, exotic
pet licenses, and inspections of residences for kennel or
chicken licenses.

Bozeman Police Department 2011 Annual Report
The Bozeman Police Department Parking Enforcement Officer, with assistance from the patrol division,
handles all parking complaints for the City of Bozeman, outside of the downtown, MSU, and high school
parking districts. Common complaints include vehicles parked on sidewalks and those left on a public street for
extended periods of time, restricting the passage of other vehicles, especially during the winter months.
POLICE OFFICER HIRING
Throughout 2011, we hired and trained five police officers to fill vacancies and positions due to attrition, as
well as what was authorized by a 2007 voter approved public safety mill levy. Since 2008, we have steadily
been moving toward our authorized staffing level of 65 police officers.
New officers attend 12 weeks
of classroom and hands-on
training at the Montana Law
Enforcement Academy. Upon
successful completion of the
academy, officers are placed
into the department’s 14 week
Field Training Evaluation
Program before being allowed to patrol the streets on their own.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
The Bozeman Police Department works proactively with our citizens
to decrease criminal activity and increase community awareness
through education, such as attending neighborhood meetings and
presenting public talks to adults and children in our community
about personal and home safety.
In April, the Bozeman Police Department Downtown Office opened
to help with the space needs at the Law and Justice Center, and more
importantly, to
meet the needs of
our community
members and
businesses in historic downtown Bozeman. We had an open
house during the Christmas Stroll, where over 200 visitors
stopped by for warm drinks and cookies.

Bozeman Police Department 2011 Annual Report
The Bozeman Police Department has long made
crime information available to the public through
various means. In 2011, we began using social
media outlets, such as Twitter, to inform our community of important crime
prevention tips and information. We also created an online crime reporting
link on the department’s web-site to allow our community members another
avenue to report non-emergency criminal activity.
The city partnered with Crime Mapping.com to provide our community with
current information about criminal activity and the ability to view that
information in several ways. Our residents can now stay up-to-date regarding
what’s happened near their home, work or child’s school. The fifteen crime
types displayed are those most often requested by the public and include such
reported incidents as burglary, theft and assault. Information can also be
searched by crime type, locations or date. Simple reports and charts which help
depict current trends can be instantly viewed. The service also offers free crime
alerts which help keep the community well informed by distributing reports via e-mail.
In partnership with the Bozeman Fire Department, the
Bozeman Police Department reached out to our local
Montana Special Olympic athletes and sponsored a
week-long police and fire academy. The athletes were
given a behind the scenes look at our downtown police
and fire stations. From riding in a police car and sitting
behind the wheel of a fire truck, to wearing a police and
fire uniform, the athletes were beaming.
In collaboration with various public safety agencies and with support
from local businesses, the Bozeman Police Department joined forces
with thousands of communities nationwide for the annual National
Night Out Against Crime event in August.
National Night Out is
designed to heighten crime
and drug prevention
awareness and strengthen
public safety and community partnerships. Nearly 300 community
members attended our first ever National Night Out held in
Bozeman.
With generous support from various local businesses, the
Bozeman Police Department, along with the Bozeman Fire
Department, American Medical Response, and the Montana Highway Patrol sponsored a distracted driving
course for teenagers during National Teen Driving Safety Week in October in an effort to save lives by
encouraging our young drivers to concentrate on the road instead of the activities inside their vehicles. Over
100 local teenagers, and even some parents, tested their driving ability in a golf cart while talking on a cell
phone or while wearing special goggles to simulate impaired driving.

Bozeman Police Department 2011 Annual Report
Our Citizen’s Police Academy continues to be a big success.
Since its inception, we’ve had over 100 community members
commit to a 10 week academy, having the opportunities to
meet our officers and truly see, hear and learn about the
Bozeman Police Department.
For a second year in a
row, the Bozeman Police
Department adopted a
local, needy family for
Christmas. Officers and
their families brought presents and even a Christmas tree for the
family of six, and delivered the presents, via three fully loaded police
cars, just before Christmas.
Many of our officers and their families remain heavily involved in serving on the boards of various non -
profit organizations in our community, as well as supporting local fundraising events, including the
Gallatin Valley Family Promise, Montana Special Olympics, the Montana Law Enforcement Torch Run,
the Gallatin Valley Food Bank Huffing for Stuffing run, and HAVEN.
