There is one sergeant, five full-time traffic officers, and one full-time parking officer. The Community Outreach Unit is comprised of the five Selective Enforcement Team (SET) officers, and the three School Resource (SRO) officers. A sergeant supervises the unit. SET Officers are a “task force” that deals with problems that might not otherwise be addressed. Animal Control has one Humane Officer who is responsible for responding to all animal related complaint calls, picking up and disposing of animal carcasses, picking up and transporting injured domesticated animals, and educating the public on animal related ordinances and care issues. The Investigations/Support Services Division is responsible for the follow-up investigation of major cases which meet certain criterion for solvability. They also conduct all of the city’s liquor license investigations. Civilian and sworn employee candidates for the LPD are subject to extensive background investigations performed by this division. Investigators also serve in mutual aid investigations and are active participants on various investigation task forces. The Investigations Division Lieutenant has primary responsibility for the LPD’s Public Information and Media Relations services. In this assignment, he is often the first point of contact for citizens who have questions about the department. The LPD is a participating agency in the South Metro Drug Task Force. LPD supplies funding and other resources to the task force, and one full-time investigator/agent. The Property/Evidence function is responsible for accepting, storing, retrieving, processing or arranging for the processing, shipping, receiving, preserving, releasing and destroying of all items of property and evidence that are picked up by officers or turned in by citizens. The Victim/Witness Assistance program includes the victim advocate and a volunteer who respond to calls from police officers, supervisors, or investigators to aid victims in the after-math of traumatic episodes. The LPD Communications Center is a 24-hour, seven-day per week operation that provides the community with emergency telephone contact for police services. In 2006, the LPD Communications Center answered 19,860 E-9-1-1 emergency calls along with ten of thousands of other telephone requests from residents and others. The Support Services Division is responsible for accreditation, emergency planning including homeland security grants, application for other grants available to law enforcement, policy development, police records and training. LPD is recognized as a nationally accredited law enforcement agency by the Commission on Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies. The purpose of the Commission is to establish standards of professional excellence for public safety agencies, and to develop and administer a process to ensure compliance with professional excellence. Since September 2007, the Littleton Emergency Planning Department is managed by the administrative division commander. City-wide emergency planning and operations could not function without the volunteer services of personnel from the Littleton Fire Rescue, Littleton Police, Public Services, and Communications departments. The Records Section is responsible for assuring correct entry, storage, and dissemination of police reports, citations, and other important documents.
