improve the lives of those who live , work , and play in Newport Beach . When community policing is implemented effectively , everyone thrives .
NB INDY : What are the qualities you want in an officer ? CHIEF CARTWRIGHT : Recruiting and hiring police officers is extremely challenging , especially in today ’ s environment . The Newport Beach Police Department has extremely high standards , higher than other agencies in the Southern California area , and it all starts with character . We can train a person how to do the job , but they need to arrive at our door with good character and solid core values . This profession also requires good interpersonal skills , emotional intelligence , critical thinking , sound judgment , integrity , honesty , dependability , trustworthiness , and physical fitness , to name but a few .
NB INDY : How many women police officers in the department ? CHIEF CARTWRIGHT : We have 14 sworn women members of our department , including three sergeants . We also are fortunate to have 55 female members of our professional staff , including three Civilian Investigators , our Emergency Services Coordinator , two Crime Scene Investigators ( CSI ), and four Custody Officers .
NB INDY : What do you see as the major crime / safety issues facing Newport Beach ? CHIEF CARTWRIGHT : Property crime and theft continue to be the most significant crimes facing the Newport Beach community . This past year , our staff was able to address a rise in residential burglaries that plagued the Southern California area . We were fortunate to be able to deploy a variety of resources , including directed patrols and undercover units , to make a significant reduction in these residential burglaries . We continue to work with our neighboring agencies and analysts to monitor any new crime trends that may surface . NB INDY : Police departments in larger cities are often a reactive service . Do you consider NBPD to be an active or preemptive department , or both ?
CHIEF CARTWRIGHT : The Newport Beach Police Department is a proactive organization by design . Our officers maintain a proactive posture when they are not tasked with a call for service . They start every shift with a robust knowledge of what is occurring in the City , based on daily crime analysis and information sharing . Beyond that , the supportive partnership with our residents has become a force multiplier when it comes to “ proactive ” policing . This valuable synergy allows community members the ability to engage in the process and be an extension of their police department . Our goal is to deter and prevent crime , so when they see something suspicious , we want them to call us . It is that simple .”
NB INDY : What are some recent successes by your officers ? CHIEF CARTWRIGHT : A recent study by the DOJ revealed our crime / case clearance rates are higher than the Southern California area . This highlights some of the great work our department does to solve and prevent crime , from the time the call comes into Dispatch until the time our officers or detectives make an arrest . We put on two large-scale active shooter response training scenarios , one at a vacant movie theater and a second at a neighborhood elementary school . This realistic and dynamic training helps our officers prepare for some of the most difficult and challenging calls we ’ ll ever respond to . Our Detective Division has put together several successful cases recently , including the arrest of three people suspected of being involved in over two dozen burglaries of UPS stores throughout Orange and Los Angeles counties .
NB INDY : Any last thoughts ? CHIEF CARTWRIGHT : In summary , we ’ re continually looking at ways we can improve service to the community . I always welcome constructive input from everyone in our department , and especially from the citizens we ’ re proud to serve .”
