PUBLIC INPUT <br />Mike Read, 2208 Lois Drive, stated he has lived in Mounds View for 20 years, is concerned that <br />crime has increased, and asked what proactive input the Council will give the Police Department <br />to curtail the increase in crime. <br />Mayor Flaherty stated the Police Chief is well aware of the crime levels in Mounds View. <br />However, the City has a limited number of police officers so the City asks all residents to be the <br />"eyes and ears" of Mounds View and they should ca11911 if residents see something suspicious. <br />Mr. Read asked what can be done proactively to get more officers or equipment. Mayor Flaherty <br />advised that in the past four years, the Council has not been afraid to spend money on the Police <br />Department if they need additional vehicles, scanners, or other equipment. He commented on the <br />importance of setting up Neighborhood Watch Groups, advising that one was formed due to <br />recent burglaries and since then, there had been no more burglaries in that area. <br />• <br />
