Officer Keckeisen has been in this assignment for several years and during this past year has been shifted to cover more patrol shifts due to staffing shortages. Some of the various duties for this position have thus been assigned to another officer on a temporary administrative assignment. However, the following information highlights some of the various duties handled by the officers in this position. The DARE program was held again this past year during the early months of 2013. The program involved approximately one hundred 5th grade students at Pinewood School.

Officer Keckeisen organized two separate rounds of compliance checks throughout the year of all licensed businesses in the city selling both tobacco and alcohol. All rounds produced a100% compliance rate for all the businesses! Officer Keckeisen was involved in several proactive crime prevention projects. Officer Keckeisen presented crime prevention information and law enforcement education to the students at Kinder Care, as well as safety classes for other day care providers and church groups throughout the city.
