Redmond Plans Old-Fashioned Police Beats

By Margarita Overton

-- REDMOND

Whatever happened to Mayberry, that small, fictitious town with the friendly sheriff and deputy who spent more time chatting over pie and coffee at the local drugstore than chasing after criminals - because there weren't many?

The best guess is that Mayberry grew up. Development brought more people and the police force grew. There wasn't time for an afternoon snack and a rambling talk with the drugstore owner.

Mayberry's probably a lot like Redmond now.

And Redmond, with its 51 officers, is trying to get back to Mayberry.

Redmond plans to join the ranks of police departments across the country that want to return to the old way of doing police work, when officers knew everybody, spent less time in their cars and more time on the street.

By midsummer, residents and business owners should see the same officers in their neighborhoods talking about problems and asking for help in finding solutions. Patrol district boundaries will be changed, and three officers will be assigned for at least one year to each district.

Redmond Police Chief Steve Harris decided something needed to be changed because police were logging the same types of calls, in the same areas, again and again: car prowlers in apartment complexes; burglaries in residential neighborhoods; speeding cars on streets.

Crime problems were not being solved. No matter how many complaints were reported, arrests made or citations written, the problems persisted.

Harris wants to try to make a dent in Redmond's crime through community policing.

``It goes back to the old beat-cop theory,'' said Robert Sheehan, police commander. ``The officers know the people because they're in (the neighborhoods) permanently.''

The theory is that officers become neighborhood leaders. When citizens have problems, they go to their beat cop and together they come up with ideas to resolve the issue.

Day to day, the patrol officer's life won't be much different, said watch commander Skip Heimbigner. The officer still will answer complaints, take reports and make arrests. Indeed, Heimbigner said an officer might have just 10 minutes a day to make phone calls, set up a community meeting or follow up on a case.

Time, said Sheehan, is the big issue that department leaders anticipate will fuel resistance among the ranks. Officers already complain they don't have enough time to do everything that's expected of them, he said, and now there's talk of adding the community leadership role on top of it.

There are other challenges Harris anticipates. For one, the community's problem might not be the same as the officer's.

For example, statistics show that car-prowling incidents have risen steadily in Redmond the past two years. In 1988, 494 car prowls were logged. The number jumped to 528 last year. Those numbers represent more than one-quarter of all police calls those years, and nearly half of all thefts reported were from cars, said crime analyst Robert Shupe.

The police make assumptions from those statistics, said Harris, that may not necessarily be true to the citizens.

``We may feel that car prowls are the big issue. They may feel that speeding through their neighborhood is more pressing,'' he said. ``We might not let statistics drive the department any more.''

Instead, the police will be out asking people what they want, what needs to happen for them to feel better about where they live or do business.

``It sounds like a wonderful idea - if it works,'' said Joyce Kravens, manager of Sixty-01 Apartments, a complex with 700 apartments and condominiums covering 80 acres.

Sixty-01, which borders Bridle Trails State Park, has a persistent problem with car prowls despite its security guard system.

Rental manager Pam Pitkin has been working with the Police Department to set up block watches within the complex, but it's difficult to persuade residents to attend meetings and take block watches seriously. Sheer size makes the task formidable.

Harris said community values might have changed, and maybe they don't want personal relationships with police officers.

``We've lost that touch, and I don't know if we're going to get it back,'' said Harris. ``I don't know ifthe community will buy into it. Maybe the community is not that sensitive to be concerned about neighborhoods.''

What Harris envisions is that an ongoing presence will build an understanding between the police and the people they protect. Hopefully, then, programs like block watches will be enhanced and become more effective.

Kravens, said it would be a chance for police to prove their competence.

``It's hard to catch a car prowler after he's been gone for six hours,'' she said.

Watch commander Heimbigner said that's an attitude some officers might share.

Heimbigner, who did much of the research that prompted Harris to venture into community policing, expects the idea will win converts once problems begin to ebb.

The more anecdotes that show the failure of the traditional system vs. the success of the new, he said, the more confidence will be built.

Harris said he's not convinced the rebirth of the beat cop will solve all the criminal activity in Redmond, but he believes it will help.

``There's got to be a solution rather than just responding to a complaint,'' he said.

Maybe Redmond's not ready for Mayberry. But, Harris, said, ``Without trying, we won't know.''
