<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />10 Lino Lakes Public Safety Department 2016 ANNUAL REPORT <br />ONE VISION. ONE MISSION. <br /> <br /> <br />Staff continues to evaluate the city’s emergency warning siren system. In 2016, the city’s ninth <br />emergency warning system (a.k.a. tornado siren) has been installed in the 7500 block of 20th <br />Avenue. This addition allows for better emergency warning coverage to existing and new <br />housing developments in the area. <br /> <br />Front office staff attended the BCA’s 2016 Criminal Justice Information Users two day conference. <br />Staff attended breakout sessions such as sealing and expungements, officer involved shootings, <br />criminal history, crime reporting, data practices, etc. They attended sessions where they learned <br />about changes to laws and rules which impact how they do their job. In 2016, front office staff <br />continued to work with the new countywide records management system. The implementation <br />of this system continues be a significant undertaking and it is with the dedication and hard work <br />of the records technicians that is making the transition possible. It was also accomplished while <br />performing the other tasks associated with their positions such as: <br /> <br />• Coordinating 897 ACE program participants <br />• Processing 242 permit to purchase handgun applications <br />• Issuing 183 dog licenses <br />• Completing over 560 local records checks <br />• Processing over 635 criminal histories <br /> <br />In August, the Public Safety Department added its third Community Service Officer. Staff has <br />transitioned the administration of the ACE Program to our Community Service Officers. This <br />change was successfully implemented and has enabled participation in the ACE program to <br />grow in 2016. <br /> <br />Volunteers continue to assist the front office staff to help ensure success. Their assistance with <br />filing, sorting, copying and miscellaneous duties is invaluable. <br /> <br />Volunteer Section <br /> <br />RESERVES - In 2016, the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department Reserve Unit was comprised of 12 <br />volunteer reserve officers who supported the <br />functions of the Lino Lakes Public Safety <br />Department. The police reserves participated in <br />community events, provided traffic and <br />pedestrian safety, provided uniformed patrol in <br />marked patrol cars, conducted home and <br />business checks, assisted full time officers with <br />community education and training events and <br />conducted prisoner transports, all in an effort to <br />help fulfill the mission of the department by <br />providing a healthy and safe community,
