The Mounds View Police Department responded to 12,215 calls for service during 2017, up from 10,000 in 2016. Officers have increased their pro -active activity increasing arrests as well as citations from last year, which is the driving force behind the increase in calls for service. While our patrol activity has certainly increased, it has not resulted in a drop in community outreach events. The agency launched numerous first time outreach projects to include: National Night Out pre - party (1St annual), as well as making our first appearance at Ghanafest 2017 in Silverview Park. The agency also conducted numerous mobile rock wall outreach events with Community Partners with Youth, area schools, Festival in The Park, PD/FD bike helmet and outreach event at the Mounds View Library, and several others. The National Night Out was also a success with many school supplies and food donated by the generous residents of Mounds View. In February of 2017 we launched the first ever Father Daughter Ball, with an estimated 350 in attendance. Officers continued the successful programs of Shop with a Cop and Bowling with a Cop. Officers conducted several hunter safety classes throughout the year teaching kids safe handling of firearms and hunting and safety education. The Mounds View Police Department welcomed new Officer Sydney Dison to the ranks in 2017, and she has quickly proven herself as a competent and active officer.
