PROJECT NAME: Gem Innovation School
POLICE DEPARTMENT SUMMARY OF REPORT:
1. Police Response Time -
The proposed Gem innovation School development application is approximately 8 1/2 miles from the
Meridian Police Department. This development application is on the edge of the City limits so there is no
statistical data to determine emergency response times. 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 56 calls for service within a
mile of the proposed development. The crime count on the calls for service was 4. See attached
documents for details.
Between 3/1/2019- 2/29/2020, the Meridian Police Department responded to 4 crashes within a mile of
the proposed development. See attached documents for details.
2. Accessibility —
The Meridian Police Department has no concerns with access into the proposed development.
3. Resource needs
The Meridian Police Department can service this development if approved. The Meridian Police
Department already serves this geographic area in the Oaks North, Oakwind, Gander Creek and Owyhee
High School. 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.
