Matthew McNally Subject: Police Explorer Monthly Activity Report – August 2018 This August was a busy one, as the Cadet Police Academy was held in the beginning of the month, for the first time in over a decade. On Saturday August 11th, thirty-six Danbury Police Explorers graduated from the Northeast Regional Law Enforcement Education Association’s (NERLEEA) 9th annual Cadet Police Academy. The 2018 academy was held at the University of Hartford from August 5th through the 11th. The Basic Program is year 1 for attendees and is heavy in the “basic training” style philosophy of the police academy. This is the largest of the programs with the most explorer cadets in attendance. The Advanced Program is the year 2 and expands on what is learned in year one. The cadets in Advanced get further classroom instruction and this is known as the competition year. Competitions are held in areas of Crime Scene Investigation, Building Search, Accident Investigation, Physical Agility and Shooting, just to name a few. The third year for cadets is called the Practical Skills Program, where the cadets are exposed to training in the use of batons, proper handcuffing, weapon retention, more advanced criminal investigation, forensics, preparing warrants, both arrest and search type. Typically the 4th and 5th years are spent staffing the cadet run Mock Police Department, from top to bottom, with first year attendees being the patrol division and second year attendees testing for administrative and supervisory positions; detectives; Special Operations (Dignitary Protection, VICE, and Human Trafficking investigations, et.al.) and Special Response Team (SWAT). The MPD is the field training portion of the Cadet Police Academy where the explorers get practical “hands-on” experience responding to the hundreds of scenarios conducted during shifts, throughout the week by Field Training Officers and role players. The Career Development Program is for those aged 18 and older who are seriously aspiring for careers in law enforcement. It is the most intense and mentally grueling program that the CPA offers. Here the cadets will get experience in the hiring process, along with team building and other activities associated with attending the “real” Connecticut State Police Academy. This program can be described as the “Hell” week of the CPA, extending the “shock and awe” philosophies of police recruit training. The final program that the CPA offers is the Police Mountain Bike Program, the most physically demanding program. This can be taken anytime by the explorer cadet any time after the successful completion of the Basic and Advanced Programs. Mountain Bikes is the actual International Police Mountain Bike Association’s training course for police officers. All explorer cadets are afforded opportunity to go to the firing range, after successful completion of the firearms safety course, and participate in the Shooting Program throughout the week at academy. All training and instruction is provided by either POST certified instructors or nationally recognized subject matter experts. 4 The Academy ran from August 4th for the adult staff; the 5th for the explorer cadets to arrive and who were graduated on August 11th, and the adult staff secured on August 12th. We ran the administrative executive staff operations required for the week long in-residence academy that caters to approximately 450 cadets and staff, as well as integral parts of the firing range (Shooting Program) and the IPMBA Police Mountain Bike Program. I also instructed the Advanced Program in CT Based Anti- Terrorism for Patrol Officers and the Mock Police Department’s Special Operations squad in dealing with a Sovereign Citizen contact scenario (Assisting Special Agent Brianna McNally of the Diplomatic Security Service and Field Training Officer of the SpecOps squad, as well as a Danbury Police Explorer alumni/associate advisor) and another scenario investigating a late-night fatal motor vehicle collision of a car and a pedestrian with an intoxicated operator. This is no small feat, as we also had 37 explorer cadets of our own program in attendance at the academy for the week in the various different programs. PO David Antedomenico was the Assistant Academy Director, and PO Stephan Cameron, returned back to the Mountain Bike Program as it’s Assistant/Co-Director. Sergeant John Krupinsky came to the academy for several days to assist with the Shooting Program as a swat/tactical firearms instructor at the Glastonbury Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Range. I continued assisting the current Academy Director and Assistant Director, filling the role as the senior most Executive Board Director, Human Resources coordinator; an instructor in the Advanced Program and Mock Police Department; Dignitary Day coordinator and also assisted at the Shooting Range as a firearms instructor during competition and the SpecOps of Mock PD and Career Development shooting programs with more advanced tactical pistol and rifle courses of fire. We also had several civilian associate advisors who attended the academy for the week. They were Sienna Ratigan who assisted with the operation of the Shooting Programs at the firing range; Rayniel Brito and Henry Peralta, who assisted with the training and testing of the Mountain Bike Program. All three were in-residence and assisted with other academy nightly operations; keeping our explorer cadets on track both academically and physically, and any other duties that needed to be addressed. As in the past, we had many explorers win awards this year and or receive honors upon graduation. Their efforts were stellar, as usual and expected herein the Danbury program, and several of our explorers were in competition for the coveted awards against other explorers from our post. Also, many of our explorers were put in leadership positions for their various programs throughout the week. Needless to say, we are very proud that all of our explorers successfully graduated. This was the largest group we ever had attend. In the Basic Program, there are 4 squads of approximately 35 cadets. Each squad is led by a squad leader/guidon, chosen by the Drill Instructors assigned to that squad. The squads are identified as Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta squads. Several of the Danbury explorers were assigned as their squads Guidon or as squad leader, throughout the week. Explorer Thalia Garcia was Guidon for Alpha Squad. Kim Macancela was in Bravo Squad. She was chosen as Squad Leader and Guidon. Valeria Macas was the squad leader for Charlie Squad. Also, in the Basic Program, Danbury explorer Denise Pagan was a squad leader and also won the 2nd Place award for Female Physical Agility. Delta Squad won the Drill competition and it contained a majority of our explorers to include Erica Yunga, who was a squad leader, Thomas “Howie” Cisewski, Jasmine Salinas, Jason Pulla, Amanda Guzman, Michele Posadas and Carolina Morocho In the Advanced Program, which is known as the competition year, we had many explorers win awards. Explorer cadet Nancy Aldana got 2nd Place in Crime Scene Investigation. Eric Cameron took 1st place in Building Search while Karol Granda finished in 3rd place. We had several explorer cadets in the Police Mountain Bike Program. Explorer Juan Peralta received the coveted Director’s Award, unanimously, for his hard work, determination, and “can do” attitude. All of our explorer cadets successfully completed this very physically demanding program even though one of them had a bad fall and ended up with a trip to the hospital for an injury. We also had explorers in the Practical Skills Program, the Mock Police Department and in the Career Development Program (often called Phase IV). In the Mock Police Department, explorer cadet Edisson Yunga was promoted to Sergeant in the 2nd Year level, and Felix Escobar was a member of the Special Operations squad. Explorers Matthew Cisewski and Josh Hibbard both completed the Career Development Program, which has repeatedly been called tougher than military basic training by those who have done both. The highest honor that an explorer cadet can receive at the Cadet Police Academy is the Academy Director’s Award. This year, explorer cadet Katy Guaman, was in the Mountain Bike Program and was learning dismounts with a run and suspect tackle. When her turn came to demonstrate her new skill, Katy fell during the dismount onto her left wrist injuring it 5 severely. She got up, continued the chase and made the tackle with her hand dangling limply and un-useful. Only after she completed the suspect tackle part, did she make a complaint of pain to her wrist and hand. After initial treatment by the on-site medical staff nurse, Theresa Breary, RN (a former Danbury Police Explorer alumni who had completed the Mt. Bike Phase herself in the past), she was transported to St. Francis hospital for treatment. After treatment, she was released back to the CPA with her arm in a brace and sling, and told that although not broken as originally thought, she was injured enough to preclude her from any further Mt. Bike training. She was given an opportunity to be transferred to the Advanced Program to finish her week out, but steadfastly refused. She pleaded to stay with the Bike Program and continued her training. She never gave up on her goal. She passed the final testing, while injured, not once, but twice to get a better score although having passed initially. With her tenacity and drive, she became a role model for all the other cadets in her training program and in the Cadet Police Academy. For her efforts, the Cadet Police Academy Director, Officer Tim Fedor of the Trumbull Police Department, bestowed the CPA Director’s Award to Katy Guaman. Officer David Antedomenico, also a former Danbury Police Explorer, was also recognized with the NERLEEA Director’s Award this year for all of his work with the NERLEEA reorganization.

It was free entry day, but each attendee donated $5 to the zoo for a total of $230 towards their conservation efforts. We leased a school bus and each member got a special All Access Pass for the visit. The weather was great with only a passing rain shower. But everyone had a great time and the explorers found it very educational and informative. On the way home, we also took the youth to the East Fordham Road, Bronx, and White Castle hamburger restaurant. Most of our explorers had never had a White Castle slider, and many were purchased and brought back to their homes to enjoy. We ended the month with 138 registered Explorer Cadets. With the start of a new school year upon us, we will most likely have more youth apply to be in the post. Open House/First night is scheduled for September 27th and we are beginning our in-house Basic Explorer Skills Training program for new explorers on October 4th. In 9 weeks we will have new 9 explorers to replace the ones we have lost to age, graduation, school and military service. We hope to have everyone up to speed by December 6th.

August 2018 Activity: The environmental division has had a very busy month. There has been an increased amount of Certificate of Apartment Occupancy inspections due to the mailers sent out to qualifying homes. Housing inspectors have had some difficult cases this month: no utilities/heat and a severe hoarding case. The department has also seen steady enrollment numbers in the Certified Food Protection Manager and Food Handler courses, additional course dates and classes instructed in Spanish have aided in enrollment. Our certified food inspectors worked diligently at the Taste of Danbury, the Ives Concert Series and the many festival events throughout the city. Our certified lead inspectors attended the Lead and Radon Semi Annual meeting this month, which focused the cultural issues we can encounter during inspections. Shortly after we received a report of a child with an extremely high blood lead level requiring chelation therapy. The lead inspectors conducted several comprehensive lead inspections, taking dust, soil, and water samples, and using a XRF analyzer for testing at all three locations. 1.

Boughton CITY ENGINEER Antonio Iadarola, P.E. September 24, 2018 Honorable Mayor Mark D. Boughton Honorable Members of the Danbury City Council 155 Deer Hill Avenue Danbury, CT 06810 RE: Monthly Report for August 2018 Dear Mayor Boughton and Members of the City Council: I am pleased to present the Public Works Department report for the month of August. August 28, 2018 was a momentous day for the City of Danbury. A Ribbon Cutting Celebration was held in front of the newly built Black Box Theater marking the completion of the Freshman Academy and theater at Danbury High School. The various improvements, addition and main entrance improvements are complete with the exception of some punch list items. Certificates of Occupancy have been acquired for all phases of this project. Many residents have expressed their appreciation for the outstanding paving work achieved by the Highway Division. There is a team effort involved in the paving program. The Forestry Division performs cut-backs and removals prior to the start of the paving. The Parks Maintenance Division assists with traffic control. I appreciate their effort and coordination to ensure successful completion of the paving work. Our capital projects summer work is in full force and we are making good progress. All of the Public Works Divisions have planned summer projects which are well underway.

1 1 1 4 CITY OF DANBURY OFFICE OF NEIGHBORHOOD ASSISTANCE Shawn Stillman 203-796-8026 UNIT Coordinator s.stillman@danbury-ct.gov Livable Neighborhoods 2018 “Building a Better Danbury” September 2018 September 24, 2018, 2018 Honorable Mayor Boughton and City Council Members: Below is a table highlighting UNIT activity from the time of last month’s City Council report. This does not include any UNIT activity regarding follow up and re-inspection work from previously noted issues. The UNIT works to ensure that each and every issue is resolved as quickly as possible. Time Period August 27 – September 24, 2018 Number of Quality of Life Issues 90 Year to Date - 2018 850 The top issues addressed by the UNIT were:  Blight/Miscellaneous (31)  Garbage/Debris (25)  Unregistered and abandoned vehicles (11)  Unpermitted living and construction (7)  Front Lawn Parking/Parking violations (8) WELCOME EDWIN DURAN: For the last few years, our department has been operating without a dedicated downtown UNIT staff member. While Jeff and I would balance the needs of the entire community, along with the demands of the downtown, it is critical to have a primary individual focused exclusively to the quality of life issues downtown. With that, we welcome Edwin Duran to our team. Edwin had been responsible for the noise enforcement at our city parks, primarily Rogers Park, and has partnered with the police department while doing so. He has already hit the ground running, meeting with various departments and downtown property and business owners. Additionally, he continues to get exposed and trained on the daily challenges of multi-tasking through all of the various issues that come up each day. In addition to the day to day UNIT enforcement of city  2 ordinances, Edwin will provide a continual presence downtown. He will be responsible for ensuring that the conditions of the downtown are clean, and that businesses are held accountable for following applicable downtown property maintenance and zoning regulations. Additionally, he will be a liaison for business and property owners to help spearhead any ideas/projects that can help enhance the quality of life downtown. TRAIN STATION CLEANUP: Last week, the UNIT spent a couple of days working on the grounds of the train station. Picking up garbage/litter, weedwacking overgrown grass and weeds, and power-washing the entry ways are just some of the many things we did. Additionally, we noted some areas of the station that need some attention and/or repairs. Most of the work was completed by all of the members of our department. Our department also coordinated workers from Clean Start to paint the pillars and fire hydrant in front of the station. The UNIT recognizes that the train station is one of the many gateways into our downtown and we aim to do whatever we can to help keep it clean, address any safety concerns and to routinely patrol the grounds to prevent unpermitted loitering.  3 3 3 4 STORM DAMAGE: May 15th It has been over four months since the macroburst that our area got hit with that caused much property damage, especially in the north eastern part of Danbury. Many trees were taken down, causing damage to vehicles, homes and other property damage. Initially, our office obviously did not receive any complaints about the damage, but now we are seeing a very slight increase in resident calls due to property owners slowly responding to repair efforts. This storm caused much destruction and our department understands the recovery from it may take time, with some properties needing more time. We will inspect each complaint as they come in and will handle each one appropriately. While it has been four months, some property owners are still waiting for insurance claims to get approved, etc. EXTERIOR AND STRUCTURAL BLIGHT CITATIONS: As our department sends out orders to property owners seeking remediation for various issues, in most cases, the property owners respond right away with corrective action. In some cases, very few, action is slow to be taken and our department needs to spend additional time reinspecting and following up to ensure that action is taken. In cases where there is no action being taken, fines accrue and the UNIT submits for the those fines to be assessed as a judgement against the property.  4 Orders written by UNIT (YTD): 46 (Includes Notice of Violations) 87 Balmforth Ave: issued order for the removal of unregistered vehicle, also parked on the front lawn, in addition to garbage around the property. Multiple warnings have not improved the property. 1 Cedar Street: issued order for the removal of unregistered vehicles, as well as accumulation of debris scattered around the property. 52 Driftway Road: issued order to remove log delivery and splitting business from the backyard of the property. Resident was warned in a few months ago and was given a deadline to remove all of the wood, but it was not done. We continue to provide the community with innovative, efficient and responsive service in order to address quality of life issues in Danbury. Our department makes itself as accessible to our residents as much as possible. We are contacted by phone, email, text and even Facebook.

P.J. Leopold, ARC Executive Director Program Synopsis Dream Homes Community Center (DHCC) is certified by City policy as the City’s “Homeless Point of Entry” per a collaborative between ARC and the City, as initiated by Mayor Boughton and by vote of the City Council. DHCC serves people who are homeless or low-income renters and facilitates first-time home ownership for people with hard-to-serve backgrounds. ARC is a licensed user of the State database (HMIS). Program affiliates include: Danbury Housing Partnership, Danbury Continuum of Care, Danbury Housing Placement, Fairfield County Coordinated Access Network, CT “Rapid Rehousing,” and Vouchers 1 and Vouchers 2 Programs through HUD. Four years ago, ARC’s Executive Director was appointed by Mayor Boughton to Chair the Danbury Housing Partnership. August Highlights • Housing First: ARC has received a grant for part-time position for Housing First Coordina- tor. The new position will help end chronic homelessness for individuals and families. • Rapid Re-Housing (RRH): Provides case management, security deposit and rental assistance. Each month, ARC’s Case Manager acquires new clients, works with Landlords to identify appropriate housing, completes inspections and provides budget, job search and child care guidance. Since July 1st, ARC has provided $16,586 in rental and security deposit assistance. • Security Deposit Program: ARC actively provides information on available affordable apartment options, budget and housing stability guidance. Once a client finds a place to live, and ARC confirms that based on the Client’s income, the rent is reasonable, ARC will then provide assistance towards the required security deposit. ARC also works with other local agencies who may be able to assist with the security deposit. This month, ARC have received several dozen inquires, completed 6 intakes and provided security deposit assis- tance for 1 family. Since July 1st, ARC has provided $350 in security deposit assistance. • Vouchers 1 Program: Provides rent for chronically homeless where one member of the household has a disability. ARC provides budget and housing stability guidance and advocates with potential landlords. ARC’s Case Manager checks in with the Client weekly; once a month the Case Manager conducts a home visit. ARC is providing assistance for 2 families (2 people). Since July 1st, ARC has provided $11,140 in security deposit and rental assistance.
