SUBJECT: H 2O22-0064
PROJECT NAME: Hadler Neighborhood
POLICE DEPARTMENT SUMMARY OF REPORT:
1. Police Response Time -
The proposed development application is approximately 4.6 miles from the Meridian Police Department.
The expected response time to this area in an emergency is 9:37 minutes. The average emergency
response time in the City of Meridian is 3:43 minutes. Emergency calls are defined as an emergency
response with lights and sirens and driving as authorized for an emergency vehicle. The Meridian Police
Department response time goal for emergencies is within 3-5 minutes.
Between 09/01/2020 — 08/31/2022, the Meridian Police Department responded to 965 calls for service
within a mile of the proposed development. Crime count of 36. See attached Level of Service Report.
Between 09/01/2020 — 08/31/2022, the Meridian Police Department responded to 11 crashes within a
mile of the proposed development. See attached Level of Service Report.
2. Accessibility —
The Meridian Police Department has no concerns with access into the proposed development. All shared
driveways shall have address signs at each entrance and the roadways shall be maintained for police
response as well as addressing on both sides of the building if they are alley loaded structures. The
applicant can contact the addressing clerk for examples of approved signs
3. Resource needs —
The Meridian Police Department can service this development if approved. The Meridian Police
Department already serves this geographic area which until recently was undeveloped leading to a lower
crime count potentially
4. Other comments —
All qualified open space provided in the development, to include all amenities, must be in an open area in
order to allow for natural observation opportunities. Pathways and landscaping should not create hiding
spots or blind spots that would promote criminal opportunities.
The Meridian Police Department will support all Community Development Staff recommendations,
Traffic Impact Studies from ITD and or ACHD to improve access, roadways, intersections, pathways and
sidewalks before the project if fully completed.
