2005 Review The Security Strategic Plan was completed, and

implementation begun. The Safety Center was completed.

CSD Patrol Staff is using an office in the Safety Center.

The VIPs began limited use. South Gate remodel plans were started. (Completed 1-06)

Jim Bieg was promoted to Sergeant. Patrol Training:

Officers completed the state required security officer training.

Patrol & Gate Training: In-Service Training has been updated and increased.

Gate Operations: Issuing of gate passes resumed in October. ABDI use and training is continuing. Two South Gate cameras were replaced, both gates cameras

were adjusted for better coverage. Barcode Readers-A North Gate reader was damaged beyond

repair, along with two access panel boards that were damaged by a lightening strike, and minor software issues.

The new colored barcodes initially did not read correctly. Patrol Operations:

A new patrol officer was hired at the end of December. Off-Duty SSD deputies were used on the weekends during the

summer months to keep swing shift staffing levels at two. ABDI use continues to improve due to upgrades and

familiarization with the system. The use of part-time and temporary gate officers has helped

reduce the time patrol officers spend in the gate.

Incidents of Note, 2005: Vandalism, thefts, speeding and dogs were some

of the most frequent complaints. Park issues, including vandalism, rudeness,

alcohol and drug use have recently increased.
