This year's success was made possible by the continued support of our residents, Town leadership, and community partners. Danville was once again recognized as California's Safest City. This community achievement reflects shared responsibility, civic pride, and the work detailed in this report. This year, traffic collisions and Part 1 crime declined. Through data -driven deployment, technology - enabled investigations, and strong regional partnerships, we improved case resolution outcomes while keeping Danville's already low crime rates trending even lower. Ongoing meetings and direct communication with residents helped us address emerging concerns quickly. Over the past year, we emphasized traffic and pedestrian safety by responding to community concerns and collision trends through focused enforcement and education. Efforts included targeted enforcement near schools and high- volume corridors, expanded pedestrian safety campaigns, and outreach to parents and students on e -bike and e -scooter safety. Community outreach remained a cornerstone of our approach in 2025. Officer presence in parks, Downtown, and at publics events -Including programs such as Coffee with the Cops and Recess with the Cops, fostered dialog, trust, and accessability. Signature events including National Night Out and our Citizen's Academies for adults and teens strengthened transparency and provided valuable insight into modern policing and public safety operations. In alignment with our commitment to transparency and accountability, we continued to enhance reporting so the community has clear visibility into our policies, training, and decision-making processes. By sharing this information, we reaffirm our commitment to ethical, responsible policing and to maintaining the public trust central to our mission. The Danville Police Department remains committed to innovation, service excellence, and proactive public safety strategies. We take pride in serving this exceptional community and will continue to evolve to meet the demands of modern policing while preserving the quality of life that defines Danville. Thank you for your continued support, trust, and collaboration. Together, we will keep Danville safe, welcoming, and vibrant for all. Sincerely, 47-,,C4S 19e1".rie2-4_ Thomas Rossberg Chief of Police, Danville Police Department Small torn atmosphere, outstanding quality of life. 2 Total traffic enforcement stops, up from 5,376 in 2024 Total reported traffic collisions, down from 288 in 2024 Officer -initiated security checks Total reported Part one crimes. Down from 272 in 2024 Total Citations. up from 3,198 in 2024 28,156 Total calls for service, up from 20,609 in 2024 USE OF FORCE & VEHICLE PURSUITS Danville Officers shall use only the degree of force that is objectively reasonable to protect themselves and others or to overcome resistance to their lawful authority. The following is a list of force options available to officers: • Professional Presence: verbal and non-verbal — not calculated as a "use" of force. Physical Force: Control holds and physical pressure — more than unresisted handcuffing. Chemical Agents: Incapacitating substances, e.g., pepper spray. Electronic Weapon: Electrical charge devices, e.g., "Taser". Personal Weapons: Body parts as force tools, closed fist strikes. Impact (Intermediate) Weapons: Batons for control or defense. K-9: Trained dogs for law enforcement tasks. Specialized Weapons: Less lethal projectiles/ammunition. Firearms: Authorized use of firearms. Deadly Force: Force risking death/serious injury. Out of 28,156 service calls and 345 arrests, Danville Police officers used force 12 times, equating to force being employed in only .0004% of all interactions. Physical force was applied to individuals resisting arrest or refusing a court-ordered DUI blood draw. Each use of force occurred in response to a suspect actively resisting lawful detention or arrest. Vehicle Pursuits Vehicle pursuits by Danville Police involve the pursuit of a vehicle when its driver fails to yield to law enforcement. When deciding whether to initiate or terminate a pursuit, deputies must weigh several crucial factors to ensure the safety of the public, the officers, and the offender. Officers are trained to continuously assess these factors during a pursuit, balancing the need to apprehend with the overarching priority of public and officer safety, and to make the critical decision to continue or terminate the pursuit as conditions evolve. In 2025, Danville officer - initiated pursuits of nine vehicles, resulting in one apprehension. The five pursuits were terminated by Danville Police to ensure public safety. One pursuit was turned over to CHP to continue. Two pursuits evaded law enforcement. The reasons for attempting to stop these vehicles included wanted burglary suspects, stolen license plates, stolen vehicles, theft, and speeding.

LAW ENFORCEMENT CODE OF ETHICS "As a law enforcement officer, my fundamental duty is to serve mankind: to safeguard lives and property, to protect the innocent against deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation, and the peaceful against violence or disorder, and to respect the Constitutional rights of all men to liberty, equality and justice. "I will keep my private life unsullied as an example to all; maintain courageous calm in the face of danger, scorn, or ridicule; develop self-restraint; and be constantly mindful of the welfare of others. Honest in thought and deed in both my personal and official life, I will be exemplary in obeying the laws of the land and the regulations of my department. Whatever I see or hear of a confidential nature or that is confided to me in my official capacity will be kept ever secret unless revelation is necessary in the performance of my duty. "I will never act officiously or permit personal feelings, prejudices, animosities, or friendships to influence my decisions. With no compromise for crime and with relentless prosecution of criminals, I will enforce the law courteously and appropriately without fear or favor, malice or ill will, never employing unnecessary force or violence and never accepting gratuities. "I recognize the badge of my office as a symbol of public faith, and I accept it as a public trust to be held so long as I am true to the ethics of the police service. I will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating myself before God to my chosen profession...law enforcement." 5 Danville Police Department • 2025Annual Report 829 I 804 662 —1 588 591 ell PART ONE CRIMES Year 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Crimes 685 I 788 I 694 587 575 gli 616 1 647 I 684 I 628 ell 665 1 563 519 458 I 430 I 456 I 507 I 378 I 370 I 342 I 319 I 263 I 280 di 289 1 349 1 275 I 257 I The FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program is a nationwide initiative that collects and compiles crime statistics from law enforcement agencies across the United States.

Small town atmosphere, outstanding quality of life. 6 PART ONE CRIMES A 30 -Year Look at Crime in Danville Crime in Danville continues to be relatively low when compared over the past 30 years. The pandemic caused a dip in overall crime for the years between 2020 and 2022, with 2023 showing a slight increase above the pre - pandemic level of crime. A resident of Danville in 1995 was three times more likely to be a victim of crime than a Danville resident in 2025.

They engage in educational programs like the San Ramon Valley Street Smarts and CHP Start Smart to promote traffic law adherence. The Traffic Unit collaborates on traffic calming measures with town engineers, such as lane striping and stop sign installations, aiming to reduce accidents and enhance road safety. The Traffic Unit enforces laws via citations and patrol officers support this mission by monitoring high -collision areas and targeting drivers violating key traffic laws within their designated zones. 7000 6000 5000 4000 3000 2000 1000 0 2021 2022 2023 2024 202 Citations 700 1,922 3.850 3,198 6406 DUI Crashes & Arrests Over the past five years, the Danville Police Department has Crashes Arrests remained steadfast in its efforts to combat impaired driving through proactive enforcement and public safety initiatives While DUI related crashes have fluctuated over time, we have 2025 11 108 see a decrease of 24 crashes in 2021 to 11 in 2025. The number of DUI arrests has seen a significant rise, reaching 108 in 2025 — four times the number of arrests recorded in 2021. This 2024 19 83 upward trend in arrests reflects the department's heightened focus on DUI enforcement, including increased patrols, sobriety checkpoints, and public awareness campaigns. To further enhance these efforts, Danville PD received a California state grant to fund a new patrol vehicle dedicated to traffic and DUI enforcement. This addition will bolster the department's ability to proactively address impaired driving and improve road safety. Due to several factors, the number of DUI crashes in 2025 has decreased from 2024. The department remains committed to reducing these incidents and ensuring the safety of all road users through continued enforcement, education, and community engagement. 2023 14 77 2022 7 21 2021 24 27 Small town atmosphere, outstanding quality of life. 12 VA I MIA Lil�ITf7!\Z1� aL 1J1 n!i7 TRAFFIC UNIT A 20 -Year Look at Collisions in Danville 500 400 300 200 100 0 1, Total Accidents • Total Reports A 5 -Year Look at Collisions by Type 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2016 Fatal 0 1 1 0 1 2017 Injury 58 49 46 61 45 2018 Hit & Run 32 46 53 48 38 2019 Non -Injury 51 57 67 59 41 The year concluded with a total of 281 collisions in the Town, slightly above the 10 -year average of 274, but still lower than most pre -pandemic years.

This allows Sheriff's Dispatch and patrol units to safely and efficiently coordinate the suspect's capture, ensuring the safety of the community and officers. Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) AKA "Drone" Trained operators employ sUAS (Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems) for accurate mapping of vehicle collision scenes and searching for missing persons. Utilizing advanced software, sUAS operators gather extensive measurements and data points, improving collision scene reconstructions. For missing persons, the technology's expansive coverage, low -altitude flight, zoom, and forward-looking infrared capabilities significantly enhance search efficiency and effectiveness. "Take the Bait" Program Danville Police use GPS -tracked items (bicycles and packages) in higher -crime areas to alert and dispatch officers when stolen, enabling them to apprehend thieves. This strategy aims to decrease theft in the community by catching perpetrators in the act. 15 Danville Police Department • 2025Annual Report FLOCK ALPR at Intersections and Cameras at Parks Danville Patrol Officers utilize ALPR (Automated License Plate Reader) and surveillance cameras at key locations to deter and investigate crime. The Town benefits from a fixed-price contract with FLOCK Safety, which supplies a town -wide ALPR system, maintaining and upgrading it as necessary. Additionally, community members and HOAs have installed 17 FLOCK cameras at neighborhood entrances and exits, integrating them with law enforcement systems as for proactive and intelligence use. This combined effort, includingALPR's role in automating license plate detection at major intersections and surveillance cameras at parks, aims to lower crime rates and aid in the identification and apprehension of suspects. Plans are underway to expand surveillance to all major parks in Danville, enhancing safety and security across the community. Temporary Surveillance for Fixed Locations The Danville Police Investigations Unit uses deployable video cameras that stream directly to officers in the field, targeting areas with rising crime. This tool aids in crime prevention and the capture of criminals affecting residents and businesses. Small town atmosphere, outstanding quality of life. 16 VA I MIA r.r.+�,1rz,:a aL 1J1 n!i7 MENTAL HEALTH RESPONSE The Danville Police Department is dedicated to effectively managing calls involving individuals with mental illness. Officers receive training to recognize and respond to mental health crises, ensuring the safety of those involved, bystanders, and themselves. The A3 Crisis Call Center, now operating 24/7, provides immediate support for mental health emergencies by dispatching crisis response teams, including mental health professionals, to the scene. In 2025, Danville officers requested A3's services 164 times, with A3 physically responding in 86 cases. Danville PD also responded 17 times to support A3. The Mental Health Evaluation Team (MHET) is a community-based partnership focused on mental health issues. A designated MHET officer and a mental health clinician collaborate on follow-up visits and consultations after police calls, offering specialized mental health support. The San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District (SRVFPD) launched the Public Safety for Mental Health program in October 2023, prioritizing medical responses over law enforcement for non-violent mental health calls. This initiative enables firefighters to handle such incidents in San Ramon and surrounding areas. Danville officers are trained to respond to all mental health calls. When an individual is deemed a danger to themselves or others, or is gravely disabled, they may be detained for a 72 -hour involuntary mental health evaluation. SRVFPD personnel transport the individual to a designated facility, following Contra Costa County Behavioral Health Services' protocol, which directs all commitments to the Contra Costa County Regional Medical Center A 5 -Year Look at Involuntary Commitment Demographics Adults Juveniles Total 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 40 51 41 37 32 44 42 28 21 19 84 93 69 58 51 1 .

Here, Bay Area professionals teach California law, ethics, and community relations. Recruits must pass all exams to earn a POST Basic Academy Certificate. New patrol officers then complete a Field Training Program, transitioning from theoretical learning to practical fieldwork. This critical phase, which assesses and trains officers to meet patrol standards, lays the groundwork for their careers. Every year, all officers complete the POST Perishable Skills Program (PSP) to enhance their critical abilities (Driving, Use of Force, First Aid). Additional training encompasses a broad spectrum of specialized investigative topics, including but not limited to general investigations, preparing search warrants, handling cases of homicide, robbery, burglary, sexual assault, arson, using cell phones in investigations, interviewing child victims, and addressing internet crimes. Select officers receive tactical training, including SWAT tactics, the use of chemical agents, responding to active shooters, and conducting behavioral threat assessments. The Traffic Unit is specifically trained in utilizing radar and LiDAR, interpreting vehicle computer data, and mastering advanced techniques for investigating collisions. Furthermore, department members participate in basic leadership training, and nearly everyone attends sessions on advanced trauma care and the writing of use -of -force reports. Officers in the Town of Danville undergo key training to enhance community service: The Principled Policing course focuses on Procedural Justice and Implicit Bias, aiming to build trust and improve relationships between law enforcement and communities by reassessing policies and training. Understanding these concepts is vital for public and officer safety. The Crisis Intervention and De-escalation course equips officers with skills to handle situations involving mental illness, intellectual disabilities, or substance use through multimedia case studies, role plays, and simulations. Officers learn to employ communication, de-escalation techniques, and empathy, although the level of training varies. In the Cultural Diversity and Victimology course, officers learn to respect cultural diversity, combat stereotypes and discrimination, and support victims of hate crimes and crises with dignity during investigations and legal proceedings. All Danville Police Officers were trained on AB392 in 2021, covering legal standards for the use of deadly force as outlined in Sections 196 and 835a of the Penal Code. In 2022, they also received specialized training in use of force reporting and documentation. Officers for the Town of Danville are selected from a pool of over 750 sworn personnel at the Sheriff's Office, and evaluated on job performance, training, education, seniority, current assignment, and commitment to serving Danville. The Town Manager assesses each candidate's qualifications, offering input to the Chief of Police.

These duties encompass addressing community service requests, preemptively curtailing crime, and enhancing road safety within their zones. Service requests are ranked by urgency, from Priority 1 being the most critical, to Priority 3 beingthe least. Priority 1 requests pose a direct threat to life or safety, including emergency medical calls for service, or theft occurring at the moment, aiming for a response time under 5 minutes. For in -progress Priority 1 calls for service, the response time averaged 6 minutes and 14 seconds. Priority 2 calls, though urgent, do not immediately endanger life, with an average response time of 6 minutes and 22 seconds. Priority 3 calls typically involve non -urgent issues, such as previous night vandalism, and often, these can be resolved through phone contact, eliminating the need for an officer's physical presence. OUTREACH The Danville Police Department actively engages with the public through various social media platforms, ensuring a constant flow of communication and community engagement. By utilizing platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, the department shares real-time updates, safety tips, event information, and community alerts. These platforms serve as vital tools for the police to disseminate important information quickly and efficiently, while also offering a space for community members to interact with their local police force. Through social media, residents can stay informed about the latest news, participate in safety initiatives, and gain insights into the daily operations of the Danville Police. This digital presence not only enhances the visibility of the police department but also fosters a stronger, more informed, and engaged community. \IIf\\ L/l�ITf7!\Z1� �L1J1lM�i7 1,17 r) OUTREACH Coffee with the Cops The Danville Police Department organized several Coffee with the Cops gatherings in 2025 at different venues, allowing community members to interact with officers and discuss public safety ideas. These gatherings serve as a platform for the Police Department to enhance its bond with the community and gather valuable feedback. Recess with the Cops Recess with the Cops offers elementary and middle school students a weekly opportunity to engage with police officers in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. Cop Cars to the Community The Volunteers In Police Services program in Danville provides unique opportunities for community members to have a police car visit their homes for birthdays, after-school events, or other special occasions. This initiative offers a valuable chance for residents to engage with the Police Department and gain insight into their efforts to maintain safety in Danville. National Night Out Every year, Danville Police Department members join residents on National Night Out, the first Tuesday in August, to get to know each other and build relationships. In 2025, the Police Department visited 17 neighborhoods. Citizens Academies The Danville Police Department hosts two Citizens Police Academies each year. These seven -week comprehensive programs are designed to give attendees insight into the Police Department's initiatives to foster community connections. At the end of the program, attendees gain a deeper respect for law enforcement and the work of the Danville Police Department. Additionally, a shorter Citizens Academy is offered for teenagers, featuring content tailored to their age group. 23 Danville Police Department • 2025Annual Report VOLUNTEERS Danville's operations and high service standards are significantly supported by the dedication of volunteers who contribute thousands of hours to the community.
