Project Summary: (See Instructions) • NOTE: For a continuation application,provide a summary of progress toward accomplishment of project goals and objectives. Simlpy stated, there are three major problem areas which this project seeks to address; they are: (1) Current services are duplicated causing inefficiency and wasted tax dollars; (2) Current services at the Colorado Bureau of. Investigation are inadequate in the handling of Greeley/Weld County SMSA requests for investigative assistance in a timely manner; and (3) Current services are lacking minimal mobile and stationary lab equipment which, in turn, hampers the use of local staff to accomplish many forensic tasks normally sent to CM . The objectives of this project are as follows: (1) To provide the equipment minim- ally necessary to consolidate mobile and stationary forensic/photographic laboratory services between the Weld County Sheriff's Department and the Greeley Police Department; (2) To reduce, by 30%, the physical evidenceprocessiong time on all Part I UCR crime (except larceny) , thereby allowing uniform investigatory techniques; (3) To reduce, by 10% the cost (including manpower) of processing photographic and physical evidence; and (4) Provide for integrity of evidence in the identification, recording, preservation, and processing for presentation in court to establish probable cause in evidentiary or preml.iminary court hearings. The Weld County Sheriffs Department will be the project sponsor even though the Greeley Police Department will have equal use of all equipment and facilities. The estimated population (service area) that this project will service is 121,470. 28. Budget Summary and Source of Funds: • a. Personnel (and.Fringe Benefits) $ -0- h.

PROBLEM STATEMENT The Greeley Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area includes Illiii one County, Weld, and 28 incorporated municipalities : Ault, Dacono, Eaton, Erie, Evans , Firestone, Fort Lupton, Frederick, Garden City, t Gilcrest, Greeley, Grover, Hudson, Johnstown , Keeiesburg, Keota, 1A Kersey, LaSalle, Lochbuie, Mead, Milliken, New Raymer, Nunn, Pierce, Platteville, Rosedale, Severance, and Windsor. The estimated 1977 population of the SMSA is 121, 470 persons , which represents a 36 . 0 percent increase since 1970 and a 67. 9 percent increase since 1960. If past trends continue , it has been estimated that the Greeley/ t ' Weld County SMSA will have a year 2000 population of 225 , 000 persons. i Population density (based on 121 , 470 persons and 4 , 004 square miles) is 30 . 3 persons per square mile. Anit Population within the SMSA consists of 83. 7 ;-persons of European or Asian (White) descent; 16. i%-persons of Spanish descent; and . 2% of Negro descent. The age distribution based on 1977 popu- lation is as follows: Age Groups Male Female Total (%) n 5-9 0-4 4583 4428 9011 ( 7. 4) 4599 10-14 4299 8898 ( 7. 3) 4580 4325 8905 ( 7. 3) 15-19 6330 6256 12586 (10 . 4 ) 20-24 5502 6669 25-29 12171 (10. 0) 3989 4594 8583 ( 7. 1) 30-34 5127 .4729 35-39 � 9856 ( 8 . 1) 5158 4221 9379 ( 7 . 7) 40-44 4671 j 45-49 4 3346 80.17 ( 6 . 6) 4272 2801 7073 ( 5 . 8) 50-54 3770 .2690 55-59 6460 ( 5 . 3) 3163 60+ 2444 5607 ( 4 . 6) 7191 7731 14922 (12 . 3) 41.10. 1 M The City of Greeley, including Northern Colorado State University, represents the economic and cultural center of the County and accounts for approximately 48% of the SMSA 's population. As in the case of the Fort Collins SMSA, agriculture, industry, 3 education and government represent the major sources of income; ' however, agriculture and related industry provide the dominant source of income. Weld County is one of the "top 10" agricultural f producing counties in the United States . In 1976 , only 3. 5% (1, 991 persons) of the SMSA' s civilian labor force (56 , 131 persons) were unemployed, which compares to a 3 . 8% unemployment rate ex- perienced in 1970 . The 1974 per capita income for the SMSA was '$5 , 130 , and the median family income for 1976 was $13, 000 . Assessed r valuation within the SMSA rose from $202 . 1 million in 1970 to s $483. 1 million in 1976 , an increase of 139. 0 percent. Historically, crime statistics within the Weld County/Greeley ,, SMSA are poor and untrustworthy in assessing crime problems . However, due to much improved records-keeping practices during the past two calendar years (1976-1977) and the fact that 100% of Weld County ' s agencies report UCR data, it is possible to determine short-range ut 4 crime problems. 1 The following chart depicts actual Part I offenses for the Greeley/Weld County SMSA during the past two years , the crime rate/ 100 , 000 population, and the percent change in the number of offenses known to police : Offense ik1976 Rate* 81977 Rate** —__ _---------------- % Change Homicide 4 3. 4 - 9 7. 4 125% Rape 19 16 . 3 40 32 . 9 111% Robbery 48 41. 1 45 ' 37 . 0 -fi4.

To compound the P problem even further , one must recognize that during the same period, the National percentage change in Part I offenses known to police fell by 6 percent! Additionally, one must also note that crime in the county' s lice smaller 18 o; ) P jurisdictions who rely on the Sheriff 's Depart- ment for investigating assistance (Ault, Dacono, Eaton, Erie, Evans, Firestone , Fort Lupton, Frederick, Gilcrest, Johnstown, Keenesburg, Kersey, LaSa] ie , Lochbuie, Milliken, Pierce, Platteville and Windsor) rose a phenomenal 35 percent between 1976-1977,. ys 4 . As has been noted above, rapidly increasing crime and popula- tion pose serious problems for the county 's law enforcement agencies; however, neither are paramount to the authorship of this grant. Simply stated, there are three major problem areas which this project seeks to address ; they are : 1. Current services are duplicated causing inefficiency and wasted tax dollars . At the present time, the Greeley Police Department and the Weld County Sheriff 's Depart- ment (whose headquarters are two blocks apart) are attempting to staff and maintain separate forensic and photographic laboratories. In both cases , services are not being provided at an optimum level due to lack of manpower and equipment. Additionally, each department has lab staff with different expertise, thereby making consolidation even more practical. 2. Current services at the Colorado Bureau ol: Cn_vestigation. are inadequate in the handling of Greeley/Weld County SMSA requests for investigative assistance in a timely manner.. Through no fault of their own, CBI has not been able to respond to requests for investigative assistance within a time frame conducive to "best investigative practices". Delays up to four months have seriously • • 41.10. 3 hampered important investigations and have 1.ed to a • breakdown in the processing of investigatory materials. . 3. Current services are lacking minimal mobile and station- • ary lab equipment which, in turn, hampers the use of local staff to accomplish many forensic tasks normally sent to CBI. Prior to March, 1978, the lack of adequate facilities would also have been listed as a major prob- lem, area. However, with the construction of the Weld . County Law Enforcement Center, that problem has been alleviated. The problem now is the fact that Weld County has a .modern lab (both wet and dry) and very little equipment to stock it. Additionally, adequate crime scene equipment is non-existent making crime scene searches inefficient and virtually impossible to any degree of accuracy. To summarize, the Greeley/Weld County SMSA is a rapidly growing area plagued with ever-increasing crime problems among its 20 law enforcement jurisdictions . The Greeley/Weld County SMSA is suffering heavy strains against tax payer resources for public safety (i. e. , .the Weld County Sheriff' s Department increased 156% between 1977-1978) , and needless duplica— tion such as photographic and forensic laboratory services cannot be tolerated. While facilities and staff are modern and well trained , equip- • ment is scarce or non-existent. Crime scene equipment (that which does exist) is housed in a ten year old drug-seized vehicle. The van has no radio equipment and very little equipment for processing crime scenes . There is no in- field analysis of evidence, and all evidence collected must be brought into the office where it is then transferred to the CBI . Due, to Lack of crime scene equipment, much of the evidence is overlooked, lost, and/or not collected. Further- more, current in-field investigations are clumsy and time consuming due to a lack of adequate and proper equipment. • 41.10.4 Finally, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation is seriously overburdened on requests for physical evidence processing. CBI has estimated that the turn around time for the analysis as related to sexual assault and arson cases , as well as any analysis involy- ing blood, hairs and fibers , and drug screenings , can take up to four months. Needless to say, this type of delay seriously hinders prompt and successful investigation. 42 . PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES This project does not nor was it intended to supplant the Crime Laboratory ( forensic services) of. the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. Instead, it is intended to strengthen local services through expansion and consolidation. Additionally , this project should provide some relief to the CBI Laboratory especially in routine physical evidence examinations . Since this project has a short duration (2 1/2 months) , most of the objectives will be "efficiency" orientated, especially with respect to evaluation needs . However, the project proponent does recognize their responsibility in documenting the results of their consolidation effort and will present a final report on or before July 1, 1979 - nine months after the project period ends. The objectives of this project are as follows : 1. To provide the equipment minimally necessary to con- solidate mobile and stationary forensic/photographic laboratory services between the Weld County Sheriff ' s Department and the Greeley Police Department. 2 . To reduce by 30% the physical evidence processing time on all Part I UCR crime (except larceny) , thereby allowing uniform investigatory techniques . (Base line data collection began April 10 , 1978) , 42.10.5 • 3 . To reduce by 1.0% the cost (including manpower) of processing photographic and physical evidence. (Base line data collection began April 10 , 1978) . 4 . Provide for integrity of evidence in the identification, recording, preservation, and processing for presenta- tion in court to (a) establish probable cause in evidentiary or preliminary court hearings , and (h) present the evidence to convict or acquit accused persons at trial. 43 . PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND WORKPLAN a. The general approach or strategy proposed for this pro- ject is simple and straight forward : to encourage the City of Greeley and Weld County to combine their current manpower and equipment resources through the intro- duction of this project. Additionally, this project proposes to expand local capability on in-field in- vestigations and thereby provide for uniform and complete services to the citizens of Weld County . b. The following represents (in chart form) a detailed workplan for this project: Calendar Months to Person (s) he Spent Working on Objective Responsible Each.

Provide for integrity of evidence in the identifi- cation, recording, preservation, and processing for presentation in court. This objective speaks to the entire principle of consolidating services to improve services and to the overall value/need of adequate forensic services at the local level. c. Since this project represents an equipment orientation and has an "official" duration of only two and one-half months (excluding a 90 - day period to pay obligations) a timetable of any magnitude is unnecessary. Therefore , please refer to the above workplan for specific inform- ation on activities and when those activities are due to occur. d. As has been mentioned previously , the underriding goals of this project as proposed are maintained in two major factors: (a) the need to best utilize current lab personnel of the Greeley Police Department and the Weld County Sheriff ' s Department; and (b) the need to best utilize the newly constructed wet/dry laboratory facilities and the dark room of the Weld County Law Enforcement Complex. In both cases , Weld County/Greeley have a great deal of resources which will be utilized in conjunction with this project and, therefore , tremendously add to the possibility of project success . -Aside from current 43.10a.7 photographic and forensic lab equipment (see Al tnchm'nt. A) , the two merging department: have lab Lcchnicians who compliment each other, especially in regard to their . forensic and photographic talents . Needless to say, this fact eliminates duplicative manpower and utilizes existing manpower in a manner which enhances the opera- tion of forensic and photographic lab services, as well as provides a significant monetary benefit to, the tax- payers of the area. Included in Attachments B and C respectively , one will notice the excellent manpower currently available in Weld County and for use within this project. Officer Morgan (WCSO) is a specialist in photography and crime scene/evidence gathering techniques , while Officer Delapp (GPD) specializes in wet and dry lab activities . In addition to these two officers , the Weld County Sheriff ' s Department and the Greeley Police Department plan on providing the resources by which three additional personnel will be trained in crime scene in- vestigative techniques , which in turn will further supplement the manpower needs of the proposed forensic and photographic lab services . One final area of resources which are available to this project is the newly constructed Weld County Law Enforce- ment Complex, which represents a $4 . 5 million dollar in- vestment on the part of the citizens of Weld County. Within that Complex, provisions were made for a complete wet and dry laborabory as well as a large photographic darkroom. Needless to say , after an expenditure of $4 . 5 million dollars for construction and a budgetary increase to the Sheriff 's Department of more than 156% between 1977 and 1978 , equipment for the new lab was not forthcoming. This project seeks to provide the Weld County Sheriff ' s Department, in cooperation with the Greeley Police Department, with a laboratory facility meeting minimum standards and best utilizing the facil- ities already in place. e. This project represents a milestone within the overall function of two competing law enforcement agencies within the Greeley/Weld County SMSA. Traditionally, these two agencies have not cooperated with each other to the fullestextent possible, and especially concern- ing the provisions of basic services to each of their departments . Within the past few months , and especially upon the completion of the new Weld County Law Enforce- ment Complex, the two departments have made significant strides in sharing facilities and resources for common benefit. Examples of this sharing are included not only within this project, but also the fact that the new Weld County Jail will house city prisoners under agreement negotiated between the Greeley City Council and the Weld County Commissioners. 43. 10a.s8 • This .project will ,provide for an end to the duplication that currently exists in the basic forensic and photo- graphic needs of the 'Weld County Sheriff ' s Department and the Greeley Police Department. If the project proves successful , the citizens Of Weld County will receive greatly improved law enforcement investigatory service at a reduced cost per case investigated. Addi- tionally, this project will provide for a continuing forum of cooperation between the two agencies , which should add to the overall efficiency of each agency . One final impact which should be almost immediately recognized is the fact that the Greeley/Weld County SMSA will be able to provide a given range of lab services and photographic services to the agencies of Weld County without having to increase the already large burden placed upon the Colorado Bureau of In- vestigation for these services. This project does not seek to eliminate the need for the Greeley/Weld County SMSA to utilize CBI , but should greatly reduce the request currently submitted to CBI for processing. 44 . EVALUATION DESIGN a. The objectives of this project are as follows : 1. To provide the equipment minimally necessary to con- solidate mobile and Stationary forensic/photographic laboratory services between the Weld County Sheriff ' s Department and the Greeley Police Department. 2 . To reduce by 30% the physical evidence processing time on all Part I UCR crime (except larceny) , thereby allowing uniform investigatory techniques .

The objectives of this project have related indirectly to the objectives of State Program Area Iii-D mainly because this program area was originally designed for state agency use. The state objective "to increase apprehension of offenders of selected Part I and II crimes through provision of specific crime investigation resources to state and local law enforcement agencies" is engrained in project objec- tives #2 and #3 , especially when referred to time and money savings thereby increasing apprehension capabilities. The state objective "to develop the highest levels of technical and scientific forensic crime laboratory services at the state level to serve state and local law enforce- ment agencies in the criminal investigation function" is engrained in the overall goal/objective of this project - see #1 above.' The state objective "to increase conviction rates of select- ed Part I and II crime rates through provision of specific crime investigation and evidence analysis services to state and local law enforcement" is engrained in project objective #4 . c. (1) Efficiency measures which will be used to indicate the degree to which the project is achieving its objectives are contained in project objectives #2 and #3 . Tn both cases objective data will be used to verify a reduction of 30% in processing time and a reduction of 10% in overall cost "for lab services . 44.10a. 10 ( 2) Efficiency measures are indicated within the work plan and refer to a time line form of activities which will indicate whether or not the project is being completed in an efficient manner. Examples of efficiency meas- ures to be used (as noted within the work plan) are bid specifications and announcement, bid award pro- cedure , installation of equipment, etc. In all cases , a subjective assessment on the part of project staff and the regional criminal justice planner will effec- tively measure whether or not these objectives are being met. d. (1) Data requirements include the following (objectives #2 and #3) : Date, day, crime, victim's name , loca- tion, time spent (including travel) , time of offense , evidence found, and processing required. This inform- ation is included in the technical services log for calls which began establishing base line data for this project on April 10 , 1978 , and will continue estab- lishing that base line up until project initiation,' which will occur sometime in October of 1978 . This data will be especially useful, in determining a re- duction in the time required to process evidence. Additionally, data requirements' for establishing cost and use of the lab will also include : number of evidence cases booked, number of evidence cases re- leased, number of evidence cases transported to CBI , number of criminal roles of film developed, number of jail mugshot roles developed, number of lab requests . (2) In all cases noted above , the technical services divi- sion staff of the Weld County Sheriff' s Department, in cooperation with the technical services division staff of the Greeley Police Department, will collect and disseminate all information concerning this project, 44.lob.11 including a final evaluation of whether or not the project has met its stated objectives. Forms necessary for data collection purposes have already been designed and will be refined throughout the implementation' pro- cess of this grant in -an effort to insure that all information necessary is kept. e. As has been stated in the past, this project represents a formal duration of only two and one-half months . Because of this fact, very little evaluation can be accomplished within these time constraints . However, the project and the project sponsor recognizes its responsbility in es- tablishing a formal evaluation for LEAA purposes and for their own purposes of whether or not consolidation of lab functions is a worthwhile endeavor. In this regard, the project will present on or before July 1, 1979 , a formal evaluation document explaining in detail the implementation procedure , and whether or not objections aimed at reducing the cost to taxpayers and the time spent at crime scene , along with preserving the integrity of evidence , have been met. 44.10b.12 • ATTACHMENT "A" WELD COUNTY FORENSIC SERVICES EQUIPMENT SUMMARY -- MAY, 1978 PHOTOGRAPHIC 1 - Nikon F Body 1 - Nikon 28mm Lens 1 - Nikon 50mm Lens 1 - Nikon 55mm Lens 1 - Nikon 80-200mm Lens 2 - Fivica 901 Bodies 2 Fivica 50mm Lens 2 - Fivica 28mm Lens 2- - Strobinor 770 Strobes 1 - Strobinor 682S Strobes 1 - Strobinor 610 Strobes 1 - Super Chromega Enlarger 1 - Chromega Color Head 1 - Chromega Color Analizer 1 - Bessler 23C Enlarger 1 - Kodak Ectamatic Processor 1 - Nikor Rollier Cutter 1 - Profile Contact Printer 11" x 14 " 1 - Polaroid MP-4 Copy Camera System CRIME SCENE KITS 1 - Master Blood Test Kit MCT228 1 - Number Restoration Kit RAG500 1 - Trace Metal Detection Kit TMOT100 WET/DRY LAB EQUIPMENT 1 - Nikon Comparison Microscope 1 - Ziez Polarizing Microscope 1 - Beckman 34-34 Ultraviolet Spectrofotometer 1 - Beckman Clnascreen (Gas Chromotograph) 2 - American Optical Stereo Microscopes TActr,IHNT "N" • RESUME FOR RALPH E.

BUDGET NARRATIVE The following list of equipment, both mobile and stationary, are considered basic (and conservative) necessitities to the overall success of the consolidated effort proposed by this grant. Individual item costs were derived through known catalog prices or by contacting vendors and requesting price quotations. In all cases listed below, final prices will be determined through competitive bidding in strict compliance with local, state, and federal procurement guidelines. In most cases, equipment listed includes actual trade names; however, this does not restrict the subgrantee in purchasing procedures, but rather is a method used in describing equipment standards without having to complete detailed speci- fications. When generic terms are used, accompanying prices represent equipment within a middle price range as received from known vendors. All items are listed in relationship to their overall importance to the objectives and needs of this project. 1.
