6 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />• The school district called together a meeting of all the SRO’s in the district in order to <br />discuss security improvements in the wake of recent school shootings. <br />• The SRO arranged for the Mounds View Police Department to donate several <br />unclaimed bikes from the property room which the school will be using in a new <br />engineering class. Students will modify the bikes and create a form of transportation <br />which will help reduce their carbon footprint. <br />• Fifth graders from Pinewood and Sunnyside came to visit Edgewood and the SRO <br />assisted with giving the tour. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) <br /> <br />The winter months are a slower time for the Ramsey County Traffic Safety Initiative (RCTSI). <br />The RCTSI partners with the Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety in the Toward Zero Deaths <br />program. During this past quarter, the Mounds View PD participated in 4 DWI saturations and <br />a March speed enforcement detail. <br /> <br />The first DWI saturation was held on January 26th and was hosted by the New Brighton PD. <br />Our new RCTSI coordinator, Sergeant Tim Wolf worked this event and made a DWI arrest <br />after witnessing a one vehicle crash. <br /> <br />The second DWI saturation occurred on February 8th and was hosted by the Roseville PD. <br />Two officers worked this saturation, making an impressive 24 traffic stops, but did not locate <br />any drunk drivers. <br /> <br />The third DWI saturation was held on March 16th and was hosted by the Saint Paul PD. This <br />event coincided with the St. Patrick Day festivities in the downtown area. We again had 2 <br />officers work this saturation, with Officer Knitter making a DWI arrest and Sergeant Zender <br />making 20 traffic stops! <br /> <br />The fourth DWI saturation occurred on March 23rd and was hosted by the Ramsey County <br />Sheriff’s Office. We had 3 officers participate in the event. No DWI arrests were made, but <br />certainly not from any lack of effort (45 traffic stops were conducted!). <br /> <br />Over the dates of March 18th- 23rd, Mounds View PD officers participated in the “Speed <br />Enforcement” detail. We had 5 officers work this event over the course of the week (4 hour <br />shifts each). Our officers conducted 37 traffic stops resulting in 27 citations for speeding. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
