Community Engagement

 • ACE Hardware Grand-Reopening Ladder 4 and Ambulance 4 attended

 • I also wanted to share something meaningful that speaks directly to the power of community
 engagement. My wife received a text message from retired Police Lt. Emmet Helrich, who lives in the
 South End:
 “So today was the Babe Ruth summer ball finale. Fall ball starts up in a couple weeks.
 Anywho…game was at Callahan. FD was on a run at Locust and Pine.
 After their biz they came up Locust, got out of their rig, sat down on the grassy hill and watched
 the final inning. We won 11–7.
 Anyway, tell your boyfriend that everyone noticed the FF’s on the hill. To me, that is the epitome
 of community. Kristin was sitting up on the hill too. I love that stuff. Kristin says the FF’rs also
 engaged in a very pleasant way with some of the viewers, hill sitters etc. Good stuff Jules.”

Chief’s Report – Burlington Police Commission

Operations: The department has continued to maintain strong focus on the downtown area as
City Hall Park and the areas directly adjacent have been persistently challenging – open drug
use, mental health crisis, and other disorder.




The community has been very receptive to the department’s efforts but the underlying cause of
much of the disorder remains to be individuals with unmet social service needs who are
treatment or service resistant - enforcement alone will not be effective.

During a recent town hall meeting with the business community there was sharp criticism of
the public safety strategy citing that although officer presence has increased, little is being done
toward enforcing laws and ordinances.

It is important to recognize that Community Service Officers (CSOs) are part of the downtown
public safety strategy. CSOs can enforce City ordinance violations but lack the authority to
detain and identify individuals who are non-compliant. CSOs do not have the authority to
enforce State statutes. The CSOs are a vital part of our team but this limitation highlights the




 Page 12 of 31
need for additional sworn officers. Burlington PD arrest data in the downtown patrol district is
reflected here:




The Situation Table has continued the work of coordinating service providers to intersect with
those at acute elevated risk. To date the Table has addressed 12 “situations” which has proven
effective in terms of short term intervention. The data team will be drilling down on the
outcomes to better understand how the Table’s work is affecting at risk community members in
the longer term, e.g. is there a reduction in their reliance on Burlington public safety resources.

Ideally, the work of the table in concert with our deterrence and enforcement efforts will aid in
reestablishing the behavioral norms of downtown.

High Profile Incidents: Detectives are actively investigating two high profile crimes which
occurred in the downtown patrol area. The first being an assault of a male subject who later
died. This investigation remains active and in partnership with the Chittenden County State
Attorney’s Office. The involved persons were known to one another and party to a dispute –
there is no greater risk posed to the community.

The second incident involved a fight outside of a downtown nightclub. A subject involved in a
large fight produced a firearm, struck another combatant in the head with it before firing in the




 Page 13 of 31
air. Detectives are working with multiple witnesses and sources of video evidence to identify
the subject who was responsible for the assault and discharge of the firearm.

Personnel: Since June 1st, 2025, the department has received 22 applications for the position
of police officer — an encouraging sign of interest in joining the Burlington Police Department.
The Training and Recruitment Team has been especially active this summer, attending in-
person recruiting events at Lake Monsters games and, starting today, at the Champlain Valley
Fair.

Behind the scenes, Shannon has been leading our efforts to enhance the department’s social
media presence. Her work is coming together well as we focus on reaching our goal of hiring
four recruits for the February academy class.

Recently, I had the opportunity to meet with two local men who expressed interest in joining
the department. I spent time with each of them, provided an overview of our work, gave them
a tour of the facility, and coordinated upcoming ride-alongs with our team. This kind of
proactive, personalized recruitment is exactly what we need to move forward, we can no longer
afford to wait passively for applicants to come to us.

Lastly, our recruit officer is performing well at the Vermont Police Academy and remains on
track to complete the academy phase of their career in November 2025.

Policy / Direction - The department is working on the following initiatives:

 • Written guidance as to incidents Street Outreach and Community Support Liaisons
 (CSLs) will be the primary responders to.
 • Launching a web based policy management software application.
 • Continued improvements to the Police Department web site.
 • Leveraging data when making operational and fiscal decisions.
 • Policy development to bring the department into full compliance with state models /
 mandates.
