Working in partnership with local agencies isn’t just about large-scale events, it also includes developing the future leaders of our departments. Today, Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw joined a panel discussion at the inaugural Leadership Academy alongside St. Petersburg Police Chief Anthony Holloway, Bradenton Police Chief Melanie Bevan, and North Port Police Chief Todd Garrison. Thank you to the Tampa Bay Area Chiefs of Police Association for hosting and investing in our emerging law enforcement leaders!

Police animals are officers under the law and harming them carries legal consequences. This past weekend, a suspect struck one of our Mounted Patrol horses on duty. The suspect attempted to flee but was quickly apprehended and now faces both felony and misdemeanor charges. This incident serves as a clear reminder: intentionally striking a police animal is a crime. Our K-9s and Mounted Patrol horses are vital to public safety, and while they enjoy interacting with the community, checking with their handler before approaching helps keep everyone safe.

Today, Chief Lee Bercaw spoke at the National ICAT Conference, highlighting our department’s adoption of ICAT (Integrating Communications, Assessment, and Tactics). This evidence-based training empowers officers to safely de-escalate critical incidents, particularly those involving individuals in crisis or armed with non-firearm weapons. ? Developed by PERF with input from law enforcement nationwide, ICAT emphasizes critical decision-making, scenario-based exercises, and continuous learning to ensure our policing is safe, compassionate, and effective. Through this innovative approach, we continue to move closer to our mission of making Tampa safer, together.

We are proud to share our 2024 Annual Report, highlighting our commitment to making Tampa one of the safest cities nationwide. This past year, we saw a significant reduction in violent crime, thanks to the dedication of our officers and the strong relationships we continue to build with our community. Looking ahead to 2025, we are launching Signal 87 Summits, a new initiative to strengthen our collaboration with communities and neighborhoods. Led by our Community Outreach Bureau, these summits will serve as a platform for open dialogue between our department and Neighborhood Watch Groups, both established groups and those looking to get started.
I am pleased to share with you the Tampa Police Department’s 2024 Annual Report, which highlights our resiliency and significant strides in ensuring the safety of the city of Tampa. As we reflect on the year, we are proud to report a significant reduction in violent crime, as well as improvements in other key areas that have helped make Tampa one of the safest cities nationwide.? ? However, accomplishments of this nature would not have been possible without the proactive and dedicated efforts of our officers, and most importantly the incredible relationships we have with the communities we serve. ? As we look ahead to 2025, I am optimistic about what we can continue to accomplish as we work side-by-side to achieve our mission of making Tampa safer, together.

We are honored to be part of the inaugural cohort for the Consortium to Advance Police Supervision (CAPS) and look forward to collaborating with fellow first-line supervisors to share best practices, identify challenges, and develop innovative solutions to improve policing and strengthen community safety.
Those working in public safety intuitively recognize that first-line supervisors are among the most critical within the organization. They are the linchpins, directly managing the majority of an agency’s personnel and acting as the crucial bridge between command staff and rank-and-file officers. In short, they shape the organizational culture. And while their role is monumental, their vast potential to improve policing practices remains largely untapped in most departments and communities. We believe the key to overcoming many of the challenges facing law enforcement today lies in harnessing the power of these first-line supervisors. While leadership training and opportunities for higher ranking officials continue to expand and evolve, the resources and training available for first-line supervisors are woefully lacking in many agencies. How can we rapidly support and advance policing? The answer is clear -- invest in our first-line supervisors. Today, my colleagues and I are introducing the national Consortium to Advance Police Supervision (CAPS). Fifty selected law enforcement agencies of all types and sizes from across the country have each identified one of their best first-line supervisors to join a consortium launched by the John Glenn College of Public Affairs at The Ohio State University. Over the next two years, this inaugural cohort of 50 of our nation’s top first-line supervisors will collaborate with academic and policing experts to share best practices, identify gaps and challenges, and develop innovative tools, resources, and training that will be tested in their home agencies and then widely shared with the field. Congratulations on the selection of our initial CAPS Supervisor cohort – we are excited to work with you and learn from you! And thank you to our innovative law enforcement agency partners (listed in the graphic below) who will introduce their selected CAPS supervisor to the field. Stay tuned later this week when we announce our CAPS academic and policing expert team and distinguished CAPS Advisory Board members. As we build our consortium, we will provide routine updates about our work, including information about how to access our tools and resources, and how you or your agency can get involved with our future work.

Yesterday, we hosted the Gasparilla Tabletop Exercise, bringing together local, state, and federal partners to train on various scenarios in preparation for the upcoming parades. This collaborative training is essential to ensure we are ready to respond effectively to any incident, particularly during large-scale events. If you plan on attending either of the parades, remember there will be hundreds of officers there to keep you safe. Most importantly, if you see something, say something, so we can do something.
