PROJECT NAME: Jocelyn Park
POLICE DEPARTMENT SUMMARY OF REPORT:
1. Police Response Time -
The proposed Jocelyn Park development application is approximately 3 miles from the Meridian Police
Department. The expected response time to this area in an emergency is about 3 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 459 calls for service within a
mile of the proposed development. The crime count on those calls was 26. See attached documents for
details.

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 all directions. 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.
