7 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) <br /> <br />The spring/ summer months are generally a busy time for the Ramsey County Traffic Safety <br />Initiative (RCTSI). The RCTSI partners with the Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety in the <br />Toward Zero Deaths program. During this past quarter, the Mounds View PD participated in 2 <br />DWI saturations, 2 seatbelt details and a June speed enforcement detail. <br /> <br />The first DWI saturation was held on April 12th and was hosted by the Saint Anthony PD. The <br />entire detail conducted 251 traffic stops and made 11 DWI arrests. Sergeant Zender and <br />Officer Heineman participated in this event. Each made 13 traffic stops but did not locate a <br />drunk driver. <br /> <br />The second DWI saturation occurred on May 4th and was hosted by the Saint Paul PD. This <br />event coincided with Cinco de Mayo festivities in the downtown area. The entire detail <br />conducted 276 traffic stops and made 11 DWI arrests. Officer Meyer participated in this <br />event. He conducted 11 traffic stops but did not locate a drunk driver. <br /> <br />There were 4 other DWI saturations conducted by the RCTSI during the quarter. However, <br />Mounds View PD was not able to send any officers partially due to the field training <br />obligations underway for the newly hired officers. <br /> <br />Over the dates of April 5th- 14th, Mounds View PD officers participated in the “April Seatbelt <br />Enforcement” detail. We had 5 officers work this event over the course of the detail (4 hour <br />shifts each). Our officers conducted 35 traffic stops resulting in the following citations: 10 for <br />seatbelts, 2 for speeding, 1 for drive after revocation and 7 for miscellaneous violations. <br /> <br />Over the dates of May 20th- 31st, Mounds View PD officers participated in the “May Seatbelt <br />Enforcement” detail. We had 5 officers work this event over the course of the detail (4 hour <br />shifts each). Our officers conducted 58 traffic stops resulting in the following citations: 16 for <br />seatbelts, 8 for speeding and 7 for drive after suspension/ revocation. <br /> <br />Over the dates of June 17th-23rd, Mounds View PD officers participated in the “June Speed <br />Enforcement” detail. We had 4 officers work this event over the course of the detail (4 hour <br />shifts each). Our officers conducted 36 traffic stops resulting in the following citations: 17 for <br />speeding, 4 for fail to prove insurance and 1 seatbelt. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
