I am requesting TTA assistance in procuring grant funding for training that builds trust and legitimacy through advanced leadership at the Police Executive Research Forum-Senior Management Institute for Personnel (SMIP). The SMIP is a program that provides senior police executives with intensive training in the latest management concepts and practices in government today. Communities expect more from their police departments in terms of trust and legitimacy, de-escalation strategies, critical thinking, and community engagement. This course addresses those needs through subject matter experts and faculty from top universities including Harvard and MIT.
In 2017, the violent crime index rate for Marysville was 3.9% in comparison to the crime index rate for the State of Kansas, which was 4.0% per 1,000 people. In 2021, the violent crime index rate for Marysville was 4.9% in comparison to the violent crime index rate for the State of Kansas, which was 4.6% per 1,000 people. Over a 5-year period, the City of Marysville violent crime index rate increased 1.0% in comparison to the State of Kansas which only increased .6%. Additionally, we have seen an increase in domestic related violent crimes.
