Training and Education Members of the Lino Lakes Police are required to attend continuing education to keep their Police Officer License active. In addition to mandatory training members of the department also attend training on their own time. We believe that this commitment to education, both mandatory and voluntary, is one of the many things that set the Lino Lakes Police Department apart from others. Some of training that officers attended through the Lino Lakes Police Department: Missing and Abducted Children Understanding Islamic Terrorism Interview and Interrogation Understanding Landlord /Tennant Disputes Managing Property and Evidence DARE Instructor School Sergeants Leibel and Bragelman successfully completed the Northwestern University School of Police Staff and Command on March 21, 2008. Sergeant Kelly McCarthy successfully completed the FBI National Academy on December 12th, 2008. Members of the Department who are pursuing higher education outside of the department: Capt. Kent Strege Completed his Masters Degree in Administration of Justice at Louisville Karen Anderson continued with the Masters in Organizational Leadership program at Bethel Sgt.
