Proclamation of the Executive Branch
Mayor Jacques M. Roy to City Employees
Executive Order JMR2011-2

WHEREAS, certain report findings will receive immediate attention as

operational decisions since they do not require funding changes or reorganization
legislation, and should properly be accomplished by decisive executive action as
“pure” operational decisions, administrative in nature—involving professional,
executive policing prerogatives. This action shall include the contemplated pilot
study project created herein known as “SAFEAlex, Phase I.”

THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED:

1) That the Chief of Police shall, at all times, directly work with any designees
of the Mayor to effectuate the goals of this executive order and any
subsequent legislation with a sense of urgency and priority.

2) That all requested reports from individual police organizational units shall
be compiled within a timeline approved by the Task Force Chairperson,
who shall work with the organizational units to establish such a timeline,
and who, as Chairperson, may from time to time extend such timelines
only upon good case shown and approved in writing.

3) That each organizational unit will be furnished by the Chairperson this

executive order, and each unit supervisor or decision maker shall
affirmatively state in writing his or her understanding of its contents and
certification to follow its dictates as having the full effect of policy and
procedure of the Alexandria Police Department.

4) That the components of this order shall constitute “seeding” activity and
the “weeding” activity shall occur through normative interaction between
the Task Force Chairperson, Community Police and traditional policing
methods.

5) That the Operations Chief shall request at a regular or special session of

the Alexandria Fire and Police Civil Service Board its concurrence in the
dictates of this executive order as policy for officers under its jurisdiction.

6) That there is hereby created a Mayoral Assistantship to be designated as

the “Assistant Chief of Operations, Neighborhoods and Community
Relations Specialist I.”

7) That the Chief of Police shall, himself, or through appropriate, qualified

designees with authority, provide to the Mayor or his designees those
human resources and documents to aid addressing, at minimum, the
purposes and needs of the Assistant Chief of Operations, Neighborhoods
and Community Relations Specialist I.

8) That the office of the Assistant Chief of Operations, Neighborhoods and

Community Relations shall organize itself with several part-time and
temporary assistants, coming from other roles within the City or through
temporary services and staffing, contractual services, or as provided by
law. It is expressly understood these positions shall be for a trial time, be
funded by grant opportunities or funds earmarked for law enforcement,
and shall not be paid from the City general fund. These positions shall
include:

(A) Neighborhoods and Community Relations Specialist II

(NCRSII);
(B) Intelligence and Streets Officer (ISO);
(C) The Chairperson of the Mayor’s Task Force;
(D) Outcomes and Reporting Officer (OR);
(E) Fiscal Officer and Monitor (FA); and
(F) Legal Advisor (LA).

9) That the NCRSII shall be paid not more than $20,000 per annum, with no
benefits and as a 1099 unclassified or contract employee; that the ISO shall
be paid not more than $30,000 per annum and as a 1099 unclassified or
contract employee; that the Chairperson shall be revenue neutral; that the
FA shall be paid not more than $40,000 per annum, with no benefits and
as a 1099 unclassified or contract employee or professional services
agreement; that the OR shall be paid not more than $20,000 per annum,
with no benefits and as a 1099 unclassified or contract employee or
professional services agreement; and that the LA shall be paid not more
than $40,000 per annum, with no benefits and as a 1099 unclassified or
contract employee or professional services agreement.

10) That these payments for services shall be derived from non-general fund
sources and within one year such other operational (non-salary) budgetary
needs of the two-year pilot study shall be funded 80% or more by grants.

11) That it is expected the grant team shall acquire in the first year at least
$25,000 in grant funding and by conclusion of year two an additional
$50,000 in funds to offset or augment operations of the pilot program.

12) That, as indicated by previous reports and orders of this office, the
Commissioner of Public Safety is authorized to solicit and is charged with
the responsibility to produce a report, with the aid of the Task Force
Chairperson and Assistant Chief of Operations, Neighborhoods and
Community Relations, certified by the Chief of Police regarding the status
of, and obstacles to, these issues:

¾ Drug Intervention through increased aid to the drug court and

realignment of the metropolitan drug task force.
¾ Programming to aid the District Attorney in identifying and
weeding out the worst violent and drug offenders, who are less
susceptible to rehabilitation. Displacement of the ties of these
offenders to this community will be paramount.
¾ Increased community policing and neighborhood assessments.
¾ Increased vigilance and correlation of data and intelligence to
identify, track, and disrupt felons in possession of firearms.
¾ Increased intelligence and social networking via community
policing.
¾ A clear address of juvenile crime. As a correlation of adult
crime and offending, the steady increase in juvenile crime is a
distress signal. More prolific gang “tagging” and territorial
fighting are specific distress signals. Truancy and curfew issues
also indicate distress.
¾ Juvenile crime is presenting serious challenges; the report shall
address the following five-pronged plan:

1) After School Interdiction through community police and

juvenile team, as well as coordinated plan with the
Superintendent of Schools for Rapides Parish.
2) (Inchoate or Serious) Gang Interdiction through community
police and an interdisciplinary juvenile team.

3) Drug Intervention through drug court activity, peer diversion

programming and aid by the City to the juvenile courts.
4) Peer diversion and accountability relative to “offending”
parents and guardians shall be considered relative to truancy
and curfew violations.
5) A ministerial alliance should be formed for after-school
tutorials in a community-based, not City-run fashion.

¾ A clear address of underserved populations: crime victims;

youth; the elderly; minorities; the homeless and indigent.

13) That District 1 shall be the focus of the pilot program; however, Districts
1 and 3 should receive discussion, treatment and consideration of a
multiplicity of “special” strike force activity, including, but by way of
illustration only, whether to promote:

• Enhanced emergency response and targeted interventions.

• Zero tolerance, if requested by the community, for code
enforcement and other enforcement issues; saturation patrols;
and ALL OUTS.
• Non-vehicle, highly visible patrolling.
• Target hardening and situational crime prevention.

14) That District 1, as the focus of the pilot program, shall in addition to the
above receive formulation of a community policing plan that:

(i) restructures community policing based upon

an analysis of the demographics of District 1
and individual neighborhood needs;

(ii) compiles intelligence gleaned from community

meetings to design, implement, and execute
“citizen contracts” and “bills of rights” for
neighborhoods;

(iii) compiles, through the IO and OR,

neighborhood profiles leading to the eventual
executive strategy to be approved by the
mayor and budget recommendations to be
submitted to the Council. The contemplated
initial findings of fact must be based on peer-
reviewable outcomes assessments that may be
monitored into the future. These metrics
allow for accurately reporting successes and
failures so that the pilot can be transferred to
other areas of the City and eventually
recommended as a model program;

(iv) compiles accurate victim surveys to determine

the scope and nature of crime in the pilot area;

(v) enlists volunteers, who shall be neighborhood

“captains” charged with leading community
leadership groups to reconcile public
perception of crime, personal safety, and
policing with eventual pilot survey results;

(vi) enlists these “captains” to further constitute a

District 1 citizen’s steering committee whose
meetings shall occur as provided by additional
executive orders of this office, but who shall
eventually become a self-sustaining and self-
initiating body of citizens separate and distinct
from City oversight and direct aid; and

(vii) analyzes and correlates crime reported to the

police with the results of victim surveys by

(A) crime reported to automated dispatch,

(B) trauma cases dealt with at local clinics and
hospitals, and
(C) other indicia of crime in the City.

15) That the initial phase of the pilot program shall be operational within sixty
(60) days of the execution of this order.

16) That all reports compiled by the intelligence officer shall be exempt from
public disclosure for the pilot period, except as otherwise provided by law,
pursuant to La.R.S. 44:3, and as used in and made public by the regular
course of law enforcement activity; provided, however, that the LA shall
create and compile all reports for maintenance by the intelligence officer
for the purpose of segregating public information and investigatory
information as may from time to time be needed for reporting to the
Mayor or in response to properly-narrowed public records requests. It
must be remembered the principal goal is to inform the public.

17) That the pilot program shall not allow disclosure of records that jeopardize
ongoing investigations or individuals who are attempting to provide
information as confidential informants and sources, and that the activity of
the pilot program shall constitute police department actions under the
auspices of the Alexandria Police Department and Alexandria Marshal’s
Office (should that office become later invited to be involved), the
Alexandria Pretrial Diversion Program, the Alexandria City Prosecutor’s
Office, and other such intelligence gathering activity authorized by law. It
shall be understood that all criminal prosecuting authority of the City of
Alexandria, with the captains, shall work to develop goals, operating
parameters, and guidelines with the Alexandria City Court for purposes of
pretrial diversion for qualified participants in aid of the goals of this order;
and all criminal prosecuting authority of the City of Alexandria, with the
captains, shall work to develop goals, operating parameters, and guidelines
with the Alexandria City Court for purposes of sentencing guidelines for
those neighborhood combatants who continually disrupt the peace, safety,
and enjoyment of those of the neighborhoods.

18) That many of the records of the intelligence officer will involve aspects of
investigations and thus pending criminal litigation or criminal litigation
which can be reasonably anticipated or disclosure of information which
would reveal undercover or intelligence operations shall be exempt from
provision and the intentional or negligent provision thereof shall constitute
insubordination and a violation of this order.
