The SRO arranged for the Mounds View Police Department to donate unclaimed bikes from the bike garage to the school. The bikes will be used as a way for teachers to mentor at -risk students while they fix up the bikes together. Some of the bikes parts will also be used in an engineering class as they design and build new bikes. In the wake of Newtown, CT shooting, many parents and students expressed their appreciation that Edgewood Middle School has a full-time school resource officer in the building. Parents stated that they also appreciate the extra patrol presence that Mounds View PD provides outside the middle school before school starts and at the end of the school day. Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) The winter quarter is a slower time for the Towards Zero Deaths program. We participated in three saturations. The first saturation was held on Friday February 10, 2012, hosted by the Roseville Police Department with a focus in the areas of Hwy 36 and Snelling Ave. Three of our officers worked the event resulting in two DWI arrests and one arrest for Gross Misdemeanor False Information to Police Officer. The second event occurred on St Patrick's Day in St Paul. The area of focus was 7th St and Grand Ave. It was very busy with our two officers making thirty-four traffic stops. The third event in Shoreview was on March 23, 2012, hosted by the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department. Sgt. Wolf was awarded a new window tint meter for making the first DWI of the evening, just fifteen minutes into his shift! The May saturation within our own city resulted with fifty-four drivers and passengers caught without wearing their seat belts. Our current compliance rate, (taken by an unscientific poll) is approx 93%. During the second quarter, our officers also participated in seven events. Five of these events were county -wide DWI Saturations taking place in the cities of St Anthony, St Paul, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights & White Bear Lake. During these events fifty-five people were arrested for DWI and ninety-five for driving without a valid license. The last event of the quarter was an "on -duty" saturation held on June 30, 2012, in which Sgt. Zender's team made arrests of one DWI and five driving after revocation. The TZD/ RCTSI events of the third quarter consisted of the seven "days of speed" in July, an in -city DWI saturation held over Labor Day and eight high visibility DWI events held throughout the county. During the speed event, our officers issued sixty-eight speed citations. 7
