In 2017, the Police Department trained the Adult Education Center students, Bridges School 7th Grade class, and Medtronic -Mounds View Campus. We held booths at the National Night Out Pre -Party, Ghanafest, Festival In the Park, and Edgewood Middle School book fair. A total of 581 people learned CPR through this program this year. The program remains available for any organization or citizen in the city. We have brought goals to the Mounds View Police Foundation requesting AED's be placed at the local parks and for more training equipment in the future. NEW AMERICANS ACADEMY The Police Department organized the first New Americans Academy. We worked closely with the Mounds View School District who kindly hosted the event at their Adult Education Center. The program consisted of four presentations over two weeks. Speakers included Officer Kirsten Heineman who presented on the Police Department and Crime Prevention, Attorney Katrina Joseph who presented on US and MN law, Rebecca Booker of SBM Fire Dept who presented on Fire Safety, and Bukola Oriola who presented on her story of surviving human trafficking. Participants received a Certificate of Completion after attending all four days of the academy. Our goal was to build a relationship with members of the immigrant community by providing insight on different agencies. We had a great response and the feedback from the students was exceptional. Students really enjoyed meeting representatives of each agency and learning about all of the topics.
