LCFD is an independent corporation that provides contracted service only to Little Canada. The City contracts for police protection through the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department. We are one of seven jurisdictions in the County to participate in the relationship. Managers/Administrators of each participant jurisdiction meet monthly to review operations, set budgets, and discuss service level in a cooperative manner that helps keep police costs as low as possible while meeting the public safety needs of our communities. The City is 1 of 45 jurisdictions that contracts with Roseville for information technology (IT) services. This arrangement creates an “economy of scale” that enables us to obtain excellent services that would be far more expensive for comparable quality. Water is purchased from St. Paul Regional Water Service (SPRWS). The water is treated and softened before delivery to our customers. Little Canada provides building inspection services to Falcon Heights. This arrangement allows both communities to provide a responsive and professional service at lower costs than if we each staff our own inspection program.
