The Mounds View Police Department has experienced a busy first quarter that has seen two <br />police officers hired, a second K-9 acquired and sent to training with the handler, a volunteer <br />internship program with Bethel University initiated, The Super Bowl in the Twin Cities (with <br />events at the Mermaid), and staffing and overtime issues to overcome. Despite these challenges, <br />officers have responded to over 2500 calls for service, made 156 arrests, and 124 issued <br />citations. Proactive enforcement and quality delivery of police services is a priority with the <br />Mounds View Police Department, as is our outreach to the community we protect and serve. <br />The agency hosted numerous outreach events in the first quarter which included: The Father <br />Daughter Ball, Bowling with Cops, Coffee with Cops, and played the FD in a charity hockey <br />game for the Mounds View Police Foundation. Several of these events had weather challenges <br />but still resulted in great interaction between officers, citizens, and city leaders. These events <br />continue to be successful because of buy -in from our city leaders, officers, the Mounds View <br />Police Foundation, and a willing public. <br />
