EVERETT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br /> (ii) Forecasts for future needs. Everett's Fire Department meets or exceeds response time targets <br /> for most fire call situations. Outside of Everett's boundaries, fire and emergency medical service is <br /> provided through mutual aid agreements with fire districts. The number of fire fighters per capita is <br /> among the highest of any city in the state. The percentage of City budget dedicated to fire service is <br /> among the highest in the state. This commitment is expected to continue. <br /> (iii) Proposed location and/or expansion of new or existing facilities. <br /> (iv) Six-year plan funding sources. <br /> (b) Police protection. The City of Everett Police Department provides police protection in the <br /> incorporated area of Everett. The Snohomish County Sheriff provides this service in the <br /> unincorporated portion of the planning area. The Department works cooperatively with other law <br /> enforcement agencies as set forth in interlocal and mutual aid agreements. <br /> The city currently operates under a goal to have two officers per thousand population for the Everett <br /> Police Department. The goal was accomplished last in 1999. Reductions in funding levels in recent <br /> times have not allowed the department to keep pace with that target, but it remains an objective. <br /> Currently,the Police Department maintains two precincts. Jail facilities are provided by the <br /> Snohomish County Department of Corrections. Police Department Headquarters and the North <br /> Precinct are presently located in the old City Hall located at Wetmore Avenue and Wall Street. <br /> The new south precinct located on Everett Mall Way and West Mall Drive was opened in 2002(See <br /> Police and Fire Capital Facilities Map on page CF-16 for locations of policies facilities.) <br /> (i) Inventory and location. See Figure 1. <br /> (ii) Forecast for future needs. Everett has consistently staffed to meet demands and has one of the <br /> highest ratios of officers to population of any city in the state. It is anticipated that the City will <br /> continue to staff at levels sufficient to maintain close to current service levels at least for the <br /> remainder of the decade. <br /> (iii) Proposed location and/or expansion of future facilities. There are no new facilities being <br /> proposed for police services at this time. <br /> (iv) Six-year funding sources. No new facilities planned at this time. <br /> CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT 17 <br />
