Message from the Chief“The past year has been both anexciting and challenging one for theManchester Police Department.”Chief John A. JaskolkaThe past year has been both an exciting andchallenging one for the Manchester PoliceDepartment. This year will best be remembered as ayear of unprecedented change. In December of2002 the Department experienced the largest numberof promotions in its history. Three new DeputyChiefs were promoted which created a total of 13promotions within the ranks and 26 internal transfers within the department. A very shortfour months later, Chief Mark Driscoll announced his retirement and I, in turn, was appointedChief of Police causing another 9 promotions and 18 internal transfers. In a matter of 4 shortmonths the entire Administration of the Department changed along with multiple otherchanges within the Divisions of the Department. In the very near future the final transferswill be made to round out the department.Were it not for the dedication of our employees, both sworn and civilian, these changes couldnot have occurred. The entire Department bonded together and continued its mission ofpublic safety to the citizens of Manchester without skipping a beat. At the same time,everyone also came out in full support of the new AdministrationDuring the past year, five of our officers have been called to active duty in the military tofight the war on terrorism. Our officers here at home have received and continue to receive,specialized training regarding terrorism. We all realize America will never be the same, butas a Department we are committed to providing the highest level of public safety to ourcitizens.Once again this year the Department will face the “First in the Nation Primary” which, byprediction, will bring Presidential candidates into the City and State in unprecedentednumbers. The last primary brought us over 40 VIP visits. We do not expect this year to beany different. Meetings have already started with the United States Secret Service regardingthese visits.I would be remiss if I did not thank the citizens of Manchester for their confidence andcontinued support of the Manchester Police Department. Our department can only be asgood as the support we get from our citizens. This bond is what makes the ManchesterPolice Department such an outstanding department and the City of Manchester a remarkablecommunity to live in.2003 Annual Report Manchester Police Department4
Administration“Each division deserves recognition for thetireless efforts they put forth each and everyday.”Deputy Gary SimmonsThe Manchester Police Department has gone through a variety of changes this past year. Several ofthese changes have occurred in the past few months as a result of retirements and promotions. A vastamount of history and institutional knowledge has departed our building as a result of these and otherrecent retirements, but our mission remains the same and business continues to come through ourdoors without hesitation. As these changes occurred, I have been given the opportunity to oversee theadministrative aspects of the department.I have appreciated this opportunity, as I firmly believe the functions of the department come togetherwith the work base of the administrative divisions and the support these divisions provide thedepartment. Each and every move made by members of the department eventually finds its way to anadministrative division.With the vast amount of changes, the department has recruited many new officers and civilianpersonnel. With the large number of background investigations, additional training needs and theattention to detail in that regard, I commend the Training Division for the continued efforts. I alsoextend thanks to the Investigative Division for their help investigating the backgrounds of thenumerous police applicants that have come through this year.Each division deserves recognition for the tireless efforts they put forth each and every day.Information Support for their technology upgrades and care of the system, Records for their neverending function of organizing our work product. Crime Prevention for their continued efforts in theschools and attention to numerous requests of the public that pour in daily. Business Services, whomaintain our budget, extra details and all the tasks associated with new recruits, retirements andFMLA. Fleet and Building Maintenance for keeping our vehicles and building functional on alimited budget, Legal Division for the additional tasks associated with their assignments and thesuccessful operation of our Plea negotiation programs. Communications for continued diligence,professionalism and ability to keep the officer on the street informed and the public their number onepriority.Additional recognition goes to the Ordinance Violations Bureau who has operated without on-sitesupervision for the past several months. Janice St. Germain and Karen Bergeron have continued tokeep the bureau up and running despite that void.Lastly the department has gone through National Re-accreditation and I would commend Lt. Glennonand Rachael Page for their efforts during the process and re-assessment.I would also like to thank members of the Patrol Division for their professionalism and performancewhile I was assigned to their division, as well as the Detective Division for the efforts they put forthdaily during my assignment in their unit as well.52003 Annual Report Manchester Police Department
Patrol“ we continue to be impressed with theextraordinary level of professionalism,commitment and dedication to duty eachmember of the Division brings to the City.”Deputy Glenn LeidemerAs reflected in the Department’s organizational chart, the Patrol Division is made up of 3shifts, plus a number of individual Units each having specific responsibilities. In total,the 145-plus person division is comprised of 3 Captains, 4 Lieutenants, 13 Sergeants, 120Police Officers and 8 civilians. Approximately 100 Officers are divided amongst theshifts and the Units vary in size from the Traffic Unit with a compliment of 15 to the 2person Animal Control Unit.In addition, the Department’s Civil Disturbance Resolution Team, Special ReactionTeam, K-9 Officers Equestrian Officers also fall under the umbrella of the PatrolDivision.During the course of the past year, there were a historic number of promotions resultingin a significant turnover of Patrol Supervisors and an even greater number of new hires.As one would expect, these changes presented the Division with a myriad of challengesbut with such challenges come opportunities. I am pleased to announce that theDivision’s unyielding efforts to meet those challenges resulted in a smooth transition.For that I extend my gratitude to Supervisors and rank and file alike. I would especiallylike to recognize the respective Shift and Unit Commanders. Their tutelage to personnelat every level was invaluable in leading to our success.As each Unit generates its own Unit message, I will avoid “stealing their thunder” bylisting their accomplishments. However, as a representative of the Administration, Iwould be remiss if I did not mention that we continue to be impressed with theextraordinary level of professionalism, commitment and dedication to duty each memberof the Division brings to the City.I would also like to use the annual report as an opportunity to extend my sincere thanksof the Patrol Division to the citizens of Manchester for their continued assistance infurthering our goal of making our community a safer and better place in which to live andwork. In Manchester, the community policing philosophy is alive and well!In closing, with our Nation having been at war during the reporting year, I am proud tosay that five of our City’s finest were called to serve their Country. None of the five haveyet to return to the MPD, but each one remain in our thoughts and prayers.2003 Annual Report Manchester Police Department6
Investigations“We have also placed a strong emphasis ontraining to ensure that our Detectives increasetheir knowledge and skill levels.”Deputy Richard O’LearyThe criminal investigation function of the Manchester police department is the responsibility of theInvestigative Division. There are 40 investigators assigned to the investigative division whichconsists of the following units; Detectives, Juvenile, Domestic violence and Special investigations.The primary focus of members assigned to the division are to conduct investigations in to criminalconduct contrary to the New Hampshire criminal code and other special investigations as authorizedby the Chief of Police.The existence of the investigative division within the structure of the police department is significant.It places the responsibility for long-term investigations of criminal offenses into the hands ofpersonnel who have been specifically trained to conduct them and have the innate ability to developand exploit sources of information.The year 2002 was active and challenging for our investigators. The following highlights a few of themore serious cases handled by our investigators: In January Arthur Ferretti III was arrested forstabbing Danny Boudreau which caused serious bodily injury. Subsequent to his arrest Ferretti wasconvicted on the First-degree assault and is currently serving his sentence. In June John Delgeniowas arrested for attempted murder. Delgenio learned that a young victim whom he had previouslysexually assaulted wanted to disclose his deviant acts. As a result of this Delgenio attempted tomurder his victim by shooting at him. Fortunately Delgenio was unsuccessful missing his youngvictim who fled into a wooded area seeking safety. Delgenio was subsequently convicted andsentenced.The highlight of the year came when members of the division were working on several “cold cases”and came up with a lead in the Lucy Lemaire homicide, which occurred in 1989. A suspect in thecase, Beltazar Sales Robelez, was located due to a finger print match from an arrest in Oklahoma inwhich the defendant was using an alias. Two of our Detectives flew to Texas where they located andarrested Beltazar Sales Robelez. A confession was obtained by our Detectives and Robelze wasextradited back to Manchester. Robelze subsequently plead guilty to the murder and testified againsthis ex-girl friend Lucille Sanchez who hired Robelez to carry out the murder. Lucielle Sanchez waseventually found guilty at trial and sentenced to life in prison.The division also acquired new technology to stay current on trends and changes in the investigativeand forensics fields. We have also placed a strong emphasis on training to ensure that our Detectivesincrease their knowledge and skill levels. Our Detectives have attended in service training at theState academy, along with other specialized course work hosted by the International Association ofPolice Chief and other Federal law enforcement agencies.
