BOB FLETCHER <br />RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF <br />425 Grove St. <br />St. Paul, MN 551 01 -241 8 <br />Telephone: (651) 266 -9300 <br />Telefacsimile: (651) 266 -9301 <br />Kathy Glanzer <br />Little Canada City Hall <br />515 Last Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, Minnesota 55117 <br />Dear Kathy, <br />October 3"d, 2006 <br />Lincoln Pawn and Jewelry remains in good standing with the Sheriff's Office. Investigators <br />from our General Investigative Unit have a good working relationship with the current owners <br />and the business is compliant with the entry of transaction information into the Automated Pawn <br />System. Our expectation is that we would have the same level of cooperation from any future <br />owners of Lincoln Pawn and Jewelry. <br />We do request, though, that Lincoln Pawn and Jewelry install a video camera surveillance <br />system. With video documentation of pawn transactions as the industry norm, we find that <br />prosecutors often will not prosecute cases without video evidence of the transfer of stolen <br />property. <br />Additionally, pawnshops are high profile targets for robberies and burglaries. Video surveillance <br />evidence is a very powerful tool in the prosecution of robbery and burglary cases. Because of <br />the effectiveness of video surveillance as an investigative and as a prosecutorial tool, the <br />presence of video cameras also provides a significant deterrent against those crimes, as well. <br />Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. <br />Mike Salter <br />Operations Lieutenant <br />Patrol Division <br />Ramsey County Sheriff's Office <br />ADULT DETENTION DIVISION (651) 266 -9350 ^ CIVIL PROCESS (651) 266 -9330 > PATROL DIVISION (651) 481-1317 WARRANTS (651) 266 -9320 <br />vzig <br />
