| DATE: | March 30, 2017 | ||
| CASE #: | 17-007242 | ||
| GENERAL NARRATIVE | |||
| On the morning of March 30, 2017, Kingsport Police Patrol Officers responded to the Purple Cow, located at 1648 East Stone Drive in Kingsport, in reference to an overnight burglary. Employees arrived this morning to find that the drive through window had been broken out. They entered the restaurant and discovered that an office door had been forced open and an entire safe, containing several thousand dollars, had been stolen.
A review of surveillance video revealed that the crime occurred at approximately 4:00 AM. An unidentified white male suspect was observed on video forcing open the drive through window, climbing inside, and then breaking into the office. The suspect could be seen carrying the safe back to the drive through window where he then, with the assistance of another unidentified white male accomplice, loaded the safe into the back seat of a vehicle and fled the scene. Photos of the suspect, taken from that footage, have been included in this release. A short clip of the actual surveillance video has been made available for viewing on the K.P.D. YouTube channel via the link below: Anyone who recognizes him, or who may have any information which may help Detectives solve this case, is asked to contact the K.P.D. Criminal Investigations Division at 423-229-9429 or call Kingsport Central Dispatch at 423-246-9111.

| NEWS RELEASE | |||
| SUBJECT: | Recent K.P.D. Reaccreditation Marks Quarter Century of Meeting or Exceeding Nation’s Highest Law Enforcement Standards | ||
| DATE: | March 30, 2017 | ||
| GENERAL NARRATIVE | |||
| On Saturday, March 25, 2017, the Kingsport Police Department’s Chief of Police, David Quillin, Professional Standards Unit Supervisor, Lieutenant Chris Tincher, and Accreditation Manager, Sergeant Glenn Cradic, appeared before the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) in Mobile, Alabama where K.P.D. received “Meritorious Advanced Gold Standard with Excellence Reaccreditation,” an award reserved for agencies that have been continuously accredited for 25 years or more.
The Kingsport Police Department has now been successfully through the accreditation process a total of eight times. First accredited through CALEA in 1992, the department has since maintained accreditation for a quarter century, having been reaccredited in 1997, 2002, 2005, 2008, 2011, and 2014. Chief Quillin issued the following statement regarding this most recent reaccreditation: “CALEA Accreditation continues to give the Kingsport Police Department the ability to hold our facilities, our policies, our individual officers, and our department as a whole to the absolute highest standards of professional law enforcement services. I am confident that both the Kingsport Police Department and the community it serves take great pride in our ongoing partnership with CALEA and the resources it brings to the City of Kingsport.” CALEA Accreditation requires proof of compliance with 484 highly regarded and broadly recognized professional law enforcement standards. The standards address six major law enforcement areas: 1) Role, responsibilities, and relationships with other agencies; 2) Organization, management, and administration; 3) Personnel administration; 4) Law enforcement operations, operational support, and traffic law enforcement; 5) Detainee and court-related services; and 6) Auxiliary and technical services. The standards help law enforcement agencies to strengthen crime prevention and control capabilities, formalize essential management procedures, establish fair and nondiscriminatory personnel practices, improve service-delivery, solidify interagency cooperation and coordination, and boost citizen and staff confidence in the agency. There are five general phases in the accreditation process consisting of Enrollment, Self-Assessment, On-Site Assessment, Commission Review and Decision, and Maintaining Compliance and Reaccreditation. The major benefits of CALEA Accreditation include greater accountability within the agency, reduced risk and liability exposure, stronger defense against civil litigation, staunch support from government officials, and increased community advocacy.
