Law Enforcement Code Of Ethics
As a Law Enforcement Officer, my fundamental duty is to service mankind;
to safeguard lives and property; to protect the innocent against deception,
the weak against oppression or intimidation, and the peaceful against violence or disorder;
and to respect the constitutional rights of all men to liberty, equality and justice.
I will keep my private life unsullied as an example to all;
maintain courageous calm in the face of danger, scorn, or ridicule; develop self-restraint;
and be constantly mindful of the welfare of others.
Honest in thought and deed in both my personal and official life,
I will be exemplary in obeying the laws of the land and the regulations of my department.
Whatever I see or hear of a confidential nature or that is confided in me in my official capacity
will be kept secret unless the revelation is necessary in the performance of my duty.
I will never act officiously or permit personal feelings, prejudices, animosities,
or friendships to influence my decisions.
With no compromise for crime and with relentless prosecution of criminals,
I will enforce the law courteously and appropriately without fear or favor, malice or ill will,
never employing unnecessary force or violence and never accepting gratuities.
I recognize the badge of my office as a symbol of public faith,
and I accept it as a public trust to be held so long as I am true to the ethics of police service.
I will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals,
dedicating myself before God to my chosen profession . . .
law enforcement.
From the Chief
Chief of Police
William Moton
January 2, 2014 - December 26, 2014
Acting Chief of Police
George Kral
December 26, 2014
To the citizens of Toledo,
I am proud to present the 2014 Toledo Police Annual Report. 2014 was a year of transition for our police department. For
the first time in our history a lieutenant was named Chief of Police.
On January 2, 2014, Lieutenant William Moton was handed the Chief’s badge by Mayor D. Michael Collins. Even though
Chief Moton’s tenure was short, his legacy will persevere. Chief Moton’s quiet mannerism and respectful demeanor
commanded admiration. He truly was a respected man, chief of police, and leader.
Chief Moton retired in late December 2014, and I was afforded the opportunity I have dreamt of for more than two
decades. On January 5, 2015, I was sworn in as Toledo’s 40th chief of police. I began my career in the Toledo Police
Department almost 25 years ago and have truly been blessed in the various assignments I have served in. I have worked
in the Operations Division, Investigative Services, Internal Affairs, Planning and Research, and the Records Bureau. The
variety of assignments and commands I have been a part of have prepared me for this challenge.
There are many things I plan to concentrate on while serving as chief of police. I will continue to advance the department
technologically, using real-time data to help in the decision making process. I will get officers out of their cars as often as
possible and into the neighborhoods. I will work tirelessly to reduce crime and the fear of victimization for ALL Toledoans.
I will engage the community often. Building upon trust between the citizens and its police department is critical for a safe,
stable, and prosperous community.
Finally, and arguably the most critical responsibility of my new position, is to provide the men and women of the department
the tools they need to be successful. The employees of the Toledo Police Department are the best and brightest. They
tirelessly serve the citizens of Toledo, day-in and day-out, while never asking for anything in return. It truly is an honor to
lead such a high caliber of people. This honor I will never sully.
I look forward to serving as chief of police for many years, and promise to the citizens of Toledo and the men and women
at TPD, that I will always be active, engaged, and their strongest supporter!

2014 In Review
Toledo Police officers had more than criminals to fight in 2014. Toledo had it’s worst winter in recorded history. The
Weather Channel pitted cities with populations of at least 100,000 against each other and Toledo was the “winter misery
champ” because of its record-breaking snowfall and significant cold throughout the season. Toledo experienced our
snowiest winter ever, with a record breaking snowfall of 84.8 inches. The average annual snowfall is usually 37.8 inches,
and the previous record snowfall was recorded in the winter of the great snowstorm, 1978-79, at 73.1 inches. Along with
the snow, crews battled relentless cold. Five daily record low temperatures were broken and three others were tied, with
a daily temperature 9.5 degrees below normal . . . before factoring in wind chill. Our officers managed to maintain their
high level of service to this community despite the harsh hand of mother nature.
On Sunday, January 26, 2014, Private Stephen Machcinski and Private James
Dickman, of Engine 3-C, died in the line of duty at an apartment fire at 528
Magnolia. With a report of occupants still in the building, Privates Machcinski
and Dickman died while advancing a hose line and searching for those occupants.
Members of the Toledo Police Department recognize these men as heroes and
will forever remember their valiant and heroic efforts.
One of Mayor D. Michael Collins’ campaign promises was to reopen the Toledo
Police Department’s Northwest District Station 100 days after taking office.
Sergeant Edward Mack was tasked with the coordination of resources for the
building’s reopening from January 2, 2014 through March 31, 2014. On Monday,
March 31, 2014, it officially opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony, ahead of time
and within budget. The renovated facility had been closed since June 29, 2012.
The Toledo Police Department partnered with the University
of Toledo Police Department, the University of Toledo
Medical Center, the Lucas County Coroner’s Office and Keep
Toledo Lucas County
Beautiful in an effort
to combat prescription
drug abuse. Collection
boxes were placed at
each of the three Toledo
Police District Stations,
and also at two locations
at the University of
Toledo. The collection
process is anonymous.
Unwanted prescriptions
are collected and then
taken to an incinerator
for disposal. The boxes
provide a safe, convenient, and responsible option for getting rid of pharmaceuticals
that are no longer needed. Proper disposal prevents the drugs from getting into the
wrong hands, being used illegally, or contaminating landfills.
Seventy-five recruits arrived at the Toledo Police Academy on October 15, 2013,

and on April 17, 2014, 68 men and women took the oath and pinned badges on their uniforms as graduates. They are
members of the 61st Police Academy, the largest police academy class to graduate since 1983.
Halloween day, members of the Toledo Police Department’s SWAT
team, dressed in superhero costumes, took Dr. Trickster into custody
(shown on a prerecorded video). The SWAT team worked with
Promedica staff for approximately a month developing a plan that,
to children’s delight, sent a dozen officers dressed in superhero
costumes down the side of the Toledo Hospital. Boys and girls dressed
in Halloween costumes were pressed against the windows waiting for
the super heroes to appear. The SWAT officers involved were: Sgt. Bill
Shaner as Spider-Man, and Officers Robert Orwig as Captain America,
Scott Williamson as Superman, Scott Mills as the Green Lantern,
Matthew Slaman as Wolverine, Robert Kay
as the Hulk, Gabe Greenwalt as Iron Man,
John Winger as Thor, Kevin Dumas as Batman,
and Kevan Toney, Justin Contreras, and Mitch
Mielcarek as three of the Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles.
A group of 25 Toledo citizens graduated from the Toledo Police
Department’s Citizens Police Academy on Wednesday, November
12, 2014. The ceremony was held at the Toledo Police Museum. The
class met once a week for three hours over 10 weeks to learn about
police work. The
purpose of the
Toledo Citizens
Police Academy
is to enhance
relations
between the
police and the
community. It is
designed to give members of the community an overview of what
police work is really like. Participants receive training in subjects
that vary from criminal law to the use of deadly force.

** Effective January 1, 2014, the Toledo Police Department

announced by the FBI in January 2013. This does not
change the way the officers report this crime; however,
it does change the way the crime is reported to the FBI.
