• 2002 POLICE RESERVE REVIEW Prepared by Lt. Scholl The St. Anthony Police Department takes pride in knowing we have a professional, all volunteer police reserve program. It is reassuring knowing that we can call upon the reserve unit for assistance. Although limited in their scope of responsibilities, reserves perform such tasks as traffic control, booking transportations, detox transportations, citizen's assist, animal complaints, medical calls, and officer assists. The St. Anthony Police Reserves also assisted at high school and grade school events such as dances, sports gatherings, carnivals, and parades. The St. Anthony Police Reserves in 2002 conducted Boy Scout tours, cleaned police vehicles, worked on vital key holder information, and were role players for St. Anthony Police training during use of force and with SIMS shoots. The St. Anthony Police Reserve Program has also assisted 14 past members in obtaining law enforcement careers with metro law enforcement agencies. Four past reserves are currently St. Anthony Police Officers. Lt. Cotroneo, • Officer Sroga, Officer Spiess, and Officer Sunde all started with the St. Anthony Police Reserve Program. The St. Anthony Police Reserve strength currently stands at 13 members with 3 on leave. We have found that 13-15 reserves works best for the police department's needs. We are striving to maintain a level of well- trained reserves. Four of our members are certified emergency medical technicians. The remaining members have various levels of first aid training. Two of our members are licensed "Sky Warn" spotters with the National Weather Service. Both of these reserves are St. Anthony residents and assist when conditions are warranted. Police Officer Heidi Stanley took over the 2002 reserve officer schedule. She has assisted with some structural changes of the unit. Officer Stanley has done an outstanding job. She has helped the reserve program meet goals in obtaining more hours in the squad, ride-alongs, and events.
