Commander Jerry Bergeron <br />Ramsey County Sheriffs Department <br />655 W. County Rd. E <br />Shoreview, Mn. 55126 <br />Re: Lincoln Pawn & Jewelry <br />2750 Rice Street <br />Sir: <br />I have had the Pawn Shop detail for the past 21/2 years. During this time I have always received <br />complete cooperation from the owners and their employe's. <br />.Although we have recovered some stolen property the amount is vexy low in comparison to the <br />number of transactions that they do. <br />One example of their cooperation is the implementation of a computerized system for me to keep <br />track of the transactions. I am sent a paper copy of all their transactions on a daily basis, These <br />are used to check through WIC for stolen property. I also go there once or twice a. month at <br />which time they down load their computer onto a disc which I then load into my computer. With <br />this system I am able to check names,items and serial numbers that other Deputies request and <br />also check teletypes from other agency's. <br />Lincoln Pawn was very helpful in setting up this system and cooperated fully through their <br />programmer and ours to do this. <br />One request Lincoln Pawn has asked was in their holding period. They are now required to hold <br />items for 120 days. Most other Pawn Shops that I am aware of are required to hold for only 30 <br />days. I have discussed this with them and told them I felt a holding period of 60 days would <br />work for us but that 30 days was to short. They were receptive of my input. • <br />Overall I have had a very good relationship with Lincoln Pawn and Jewelry and have no <br />problems when dealing with them. <br />Larry anke <br />General Investigations <br />Ramsey County Sheriffs Department <br />Z'd <br />Page 45 <br />OS3d WtJ70:60 466 91 33Q <br />
