o Describe what your agency will bring to the respective metro effort <br />and what benefit your agency will get from participating as a member <br />of a gang strike force. <br />The Lino Lakes Police Department will provide an officer that is a self - <br />starter. This officer will assist other officers as needed, but will work <br />toward developing their own sources and intel that they will share with the <br />entire group in support of the strike force's goals. The officer will be <br />familiar with the Anoka County Court system and will have established <br />contacts with other Anoka County law enforcement agencies which will <br />open the flow of communications both out to the law enforcement <br />community in Anoka County as well as coming in from Anoka County to <br />the MGSF. The Lino Lakes Police Department will be gaining a portal into <br />information and education about gang related activity that will be <br />presented to the entire department that will enhance our ability to detect <br />current gang activity much better and more importantly, to help design a <br />strategy to stay ahead of any potential growth in this area of crime. <br />o Describe how participation on a gang strike force will support, <br />enhance and build on your other investigative efforts. <br />Assigning an officer to the MGSF will enhance that officer's ability to <br />develop and utilize informants, it will strengthen his ability to develop intel <br />and administer search warrants. These skills are ones that can not only be <br />utilized while assigned to the MGSF, but provide benefits to the officer and <br />the department beyond the scope of the MGSF. Officers of the LLPD are <br />encouraged to investigate their own cases as far as they are able to do. <br />
