From The Office of Chief Weaver

Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, City Administrator, and Citizens of Moscow.

I am pleased to present to you this Annual Report for the year 2008. We have continued our outreach to the community with our School Resource Officer Program, Crime Prevention through Environmental Design, Citizen Police Academy, Campus Community Policing Program, Bicycle Patrol, Narcotics Abatement Program, and Special Response Team. Each of these programs is designed to provide extra service to our citizens and visitors and to provide a quality of life unparalleled anywhere.

Our prevention and policing programs on the University of Idaho campus, headed by Lieutenant Dave Lehmitz is a continuing model of genuine cooperation and prevention programs envied by other institutions of higher education. Our policing partnership will remained the cornerstone of our commitment to and involvement in every aspect of university life, goals, and educational endeavors. Several important aspects of our commitment involve security, prevention programs, educational outreach, and safety.

Thanks to the hard work of Assistant David Duke, the department was recertified through the Idaho Chief’s of Police Association. This milestone means your police department has met or exceeded professional standards and ethics and is only one of a handful of departments reaching this goal in Idaho.

Once again our department was a leader in the Idaho Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics with Moscow participating in the run of the torch to the World games in southern Idaho. Local coordination efforts were headed by Officer Rick Whitmore with the assistance of other officers, staff, and the Mayor.

Our officers have an emphasis on crime prevention both within the community and on the University of Idaho campus. Prevention is stressed at every level and incorporated with community policing in all of our calls and activities.

In the coming year, as we face additional challenges, we will meet the service needs of our citizens and visitors and we will work hard to maintain our high ethical and moral standards as we continue our tradition of professionalism and service in the true spirit of community policing.

Welcome to Moscow.
