<br /> <br /> <br />6Lino Lakes Public Safety Department 2020 ANNUAL REPORT <br />ONE VISION. ONE MISSION. <br /> <br /> <br />Below is a table which shows the total number of case numbers generated by Lino Lakes police staff <br />for all calls for service and incidents at or above a misdemeanor level: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Investigations <br /> <br />In 2020 the Investigations Division of the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department investigated 299 <br />criminal cases, with 116 of these investigations resulting in the case being submitted to the prosecuting <br />attorney for criminal charging. Arrests, citations, referrals to other law enforcement agencies, and <br />similar case dispositions produced a total clearance rate of 60%. Additionally, 45 search warrants were <br />executed as part of the investigative process, and 76 cases from child and adult protection <br />organizations were reviewed and investigated. <br /> <br />A few of the significant investigations conducted in 2020 include: <br />• Investigators responded to a bank where a robbery had just occurred. A suspect description <br />was developed, and with the assistance of neighboring law enforcement agencies, as well as <br />banking tracking technology, the two individuals responsible were arrested within an hour of <br />the incident. All funds lost by the bank during the robbery were recovered, and the suspects <br />have since been indicted on federal charges of bank robbery. <br />• The Lino Lakes community unfortunately was impacted by our first homicide in many years. <br />Countless hours were committed to the case and Lino Lakes PSD investigators, along with <br />Anoka County Sheriff’s Office detectives, made arrests of two individuals that are currently <br />awaiting trial. Many search warrants were executed resulting in the recovery of crucial <br />evidence. <br />• An investigation was initiated after recording equipment was located in a public restroom. <br />Investigators collected evidence, and determined who had access to the restroom at the time <br />the device was likely placed. A suspect was identified and a confession was obtained during <br />an interview. The case was sent to the prosecuting attorney for charges to be filed. <br />2020 Clearance Rate Off Arrest <br />Property Crimes 481 62 <br />Violent Crimes 89 69 <br />2020 Overall Clearance Rate Off Arrest <br />Part A 778 324 <br />Part B 217 150 <br />TOTAL 995 474 <br />SOLVE RATE 48% <br />Solve Rate <br />13% <br />78% <br />YEAR Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 TOTAL <br />2020 3,348 3,476 3,422 2,968 13,214 <br />2019 3,028 3,752 3,776 3,408 13,964 <br />2018 3,856 3,823 3,568 3,240 14,487 <br />CASE NUMBERS GENERATED
