<br /> <br /> <br />12Lino Lakes Public Safety Department 2020 ANNUAL REPORT <br />ONE VISION. ONE MISSION. <br /> <br />At the conferences explorer teams compete against explorers from other law enforcement agencies <br />from across the state. They compete in various events including pistol competitions, a bicycle obstacle <br />course, a sample police exam and multiple law enforcement related scenarios such as handling traffic <br />crash investigations, first aid, crime prevention, domestic crisis calls and bomb threat response. <br /> <br />Volunteering in the community is also an important aspect of the Explorer program. In 2020 the <br />explorers assisted in the Guns N Hoses hockey game fundraiser. Again, due to restrictions, multiple <br />volunteer events the Explorers help with annually, such as, the Ramsey and Anoka County Polar Plunge <br />events, Blue Line Ball, Blue Heron Days Parade and the 3M Golf Championship, had been cancelled. <br /> <br />TRAIL WATCH – Trail Watch is a group of 26 volunteers that report incidents observed in our city <br />parks and on our trails to members of the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department. Volunteers share <br />information about current issues that need monitoring, and keep an eye on the areas of the city that <br />they frequently visit. Trail Watch volunteers report suspicious activity, ordinance violations, and <br />potential safety hazards. <br /> <br />During 2020, the trail watch team completed 505 hours of patrol. During their patrols, observations <br />were made that resulted in 5 safety/maintenance requests, 4 reports pertaining to animal issues, 4 <br />reports of theft from motor vehicle incidents, 3 littering complaints, 2 reports of after-hours activity in <br />parks, and a snowmobile use violation. The Trail Watch volunteers provide a great service to our city <br />by assisting our staff in making sure all the parks and trails are safe for our community to use. <br /> <br /> <br />Personnel Changes <br /> <br />New Staff <br />Zachary Beddow, Community Service Officer <br />Mike Monson Police Officer <br />Quillan Oak, Police Officer <br />Georgia Carlson, Police Officer <br />Nick Clausen, POC Firefighter <br />Brandon Byrne, POC Firefighter <br /> <br /> <br />Resignations <br />Tou Vang, Police Officer <br />Jackie McIntosh, Police Officer <br />Terina Hagen, Police Officer <br />Steve Wagner, Police Officer <br />Mike Monson, Police Officer <br /> <br /> <br />Leave of Absence <br />Mark Hokkanen
