Special team helps KU police
By CAROL LICHTI Staff Reporter
Although a new special assignment team has helped KU police reduce crime, the department is still short-handed.
"We don't have enough officers to give the community the type of coverage I would like to see it have," she said. KU police director, said yesterday.
To cope with the problem, the department established the special team and has tried to redistribute the paperwork by patrolling and less paperwork, he said.
A 20 percent decrease in crimes on campus so far in 1982 also has made the shorthanded police force's job easier. Demney said.
THE SPECIAL team of four officers was formed to help fill the void left by two vacant patrolmen positions and two detective positions, he said. Other clerical positions and a dispatch team are also vacant in the department.
In 1981, 21 officers were assigned to patrol the campus, Denney said. Sixteen officers are now assigned to the special team, which officers are members of the special team.
The officers on the team may perform regular patrol duties or special detective duties. They are involved in crime investigation, Denney said.

"It puts more officers on the street, which is the ultimate goal." Courtney
The special team can handle special details that otherwise would take officers off street patrol, John Courtney, KU police captain, said. They might be assigned to watch for bicycle thieves or used as extra camouflage during high crime periods; they can work in plain clothes or in uniforms.
THE SPECIAL team has been a main factor in helping to decrease the number of bicycle thefts that were plaguing the campus, he said.
KU Police Lt. Jeanne Longaker said that despite the reduction of bicycle thefts, investigators were still working on the problem
The special team idea was adopted in July when the department decided to reorganize to deal with the effects of budget cuts, Denney said.
The number of officers on patrol at different times also has been changed to improve the effectiveness of the shorthanded force, Denney said. At other times, or potential problems are not likely, fewer officers will be on duty, he said.
Shifts have been scheduled so that the number of dispatchers and officers on duty will be greater when the department is busiest, he said.
A DECISION to lessen the amount of time officers spend doing paperwork was also made by the force, he said.
In 1981, officers spent 76 percent of their time fulfilling duties other than regular patrol, Denney said. The department has received 17,000 calls for service that have taken officers away from patrol so far this year.
He said that 75 percent of an officer's time should be spent fulfilling police service duties and at least 25 percent of their time should be spent patrolling so the number of officers on the street would be adequate to provide protection.
Denney said that before the department started to reorganize, there were evenings when officers spent as much time in the patrol room time away from their regular patrol.
The special team guarantees that the number of patrolling officers on the street will remain at the same level, Denney said. If a potential situation arises, the officers off the streets, the special team can be on duty to handle the situation.
SINCE THE special team was formed, Denney said, the percentage of time officers spend on patrol has increased to 28 percent. The amount of money spent on patrol is usually considered optimum is 45 percent, he said.
Taking as much paperwork duty away from officers as possible has created some problems for the availability of information that the public might want, Demney said.
A 20-year-old Lawrence man was arrested early yesterday morning by police officer and possessing amuletbenets, KU police said yesterday.
The man, Scott Shipley, 697 W. 27th St. Terrace, was arrested and placed in jail on $3,500 bond, police said. A Douglas County District Court official said Shipley was released from jail yesterday afternoon because the District Attorney's office has not filed a complaint yet.
The arrest was made after an officer stopped a car to investigate a drunken driver, KU Police Lt. Jeanne Longaker said. Police decided to tow the car because the driver was intoxicated, Longaker said, and Shipley then allegedly assaulted Officer Franklin Young.
Police said Shipley allegedly grabbed Young by the jacket and tried to hit him. The officer did not require medical attention.
Longaker said that police officers that were assaulted were usually attacked by people who were either mentally unstable or intoxicated.

"The person is placed under custody with as little force as possible so no one gets hurt," she said.
WASHINGTON - Youngtown, Ohio, suffering increasing joblessness for the past five years, has the highest unemployment rate among the nation's largest metropolitan areas at 20.9 million, according to statistics for August showed yesterday.
And personal income of Americans rose a week 0.3 percent last month, the biggest increase in more than 20 years.
Michigan and Alabama were the states with the highest unemployment
Close behind Youngstown in the data were three other areas in the industrial Midwest; Decatur, Ill., at 19.9 percent; Dukh-Superior, Minn., at 19.5 percent, and Janesville-Beloit, Wis., at 19.3 percent.
THE DATA reflected unadjusted figures that do not take into account seasonal factors and are compared to a control group with jobless rate for Amount of 9.6 percent
Michigan, Alabama top unemployment figures
In September, the national unadjusted rate was 9.7 percent, with the seasonally adjusted figure at a post-Depression high of 10.1 percent.
By United Press International
Michigan continued its position as the state with highest unemployment, despite declining from 14.7 percent in July to 14.5 percent in August. Alabama was close behind at 14.2 percent, also down from its July rate.
Stamford, Conn., retained its honor of having the lowest jobless rate among cities at 3.5 percent. South Dakota, at 4.5 percent, and North Dakota, at 4.7 percent, had the lowest rates among states.
THE MAIN ingredients for the month's $7.1 billion personal income increase — to slightly more than $2.6 trillion — were higher government benefits, higher interest payments on savings and money funds, and higher farm income.

But the Commerce Department report said that personal spending increased in September and that it may have allowed way fewer of their earnings into savings.
Interest payments and government payments together provided two-thirds of the month's modest improvement in personal income, while production payrolls continued to slump because of the recession.
WITH EARNINGS anemic and spending stronger, savings had to give way in September, surprising analysts by declining to a rate of 6.4 percent of disposable income from July's high point for the year of 7.5 percent.
A department analyst who helped prepare the report said of the government payments. "The bulk of it attributed to unemployment insurance."
