Police Department. The expected response time to this area in an emergency is just under 5 minutes. The
average emergency response time in the City of Meridian is just under 4 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 3/1/2019- 2/29/2020, the Meridian Police Department responded to 751 calls for service within a
mile of the proposed development. The crime count on the calls for service was 105. See attached

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.
3. Resource needs
This proposed development is near the edge of the city limits however, the Meridian Police Department
can service this development if approved. The Meridian Police Department already serves this area with
the Inglewood Place, Kingsbridge Subdivision, and Karmelle Subdivision. As of now, no additional
resources are required at this time.
4. Other comments-
The Meridian Police Department has no outstanding issues concerning this development application.
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.
