• <br />• <br />• <br />Domestic and sexual violence are serious crimes that impact the public health and safety of every <br />community in this country. <br />Research shows a well- coordinated and multidisciplinary approach is one of the most effective <br />means of reducing domestic and sexual violence. Alexandra House partners with nearly all law <br />enforcement agencies in the county, including the Lino Lakes Police Department along with city <br />and county prosecutors, to achieve this type of multidisciplinary response that holds offenders <br />accountable, ensures victim safety, and ultimately, works to reduce the incidence of these crimes of <br />violence in Lino Lakes. <br />Domestic violence is a public health and safety issue, and we believe local government has a role to <br />play in assisting victims of domestic and sexual violence live in a safe environment. In 2008, law <br />enforcement, probation, and court costs to arrest and process domestic violence abusers cost <br />Anoka County approximately $3,392,404. The funds we are requesting from Lino Lakes, as well as <br />from each city in the county, help victims and their children transition to a life free from violence <br />and fear. <br />Given the state of our economy, we, along with local government and many others, have faced <br />challenges in ensuring those who most need our help are able to access it, particularly those who <br />are seeking safety and struggling to maintain stability. Lino Lakes' financial support in 2010 was <br />greatly appreciated. Your financial support coupled with a financial commitment on the part of <br />many municipalities, allowed us to continue providing critical services to victims of domestic and <br />sexual violence. <br />Should you have any questions regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would <br />be pleased to attend a city council meeting to further discuss this funding request and respond to <br />any questions you may have. Thank you very much for your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />—1 l <br />Connie Moore <br />Executive Director <br />Cc: Jeff Reinert, Mayor <br />David Pecchia, Police Chief <br />City Council Members: <br />Jeff O'Donnell <br />Dave Roeser <br />Rob Rafferty <br />Kathi Gallup <br />
