designed to equip elementary school children with skills for resisting <br /> pressure to experiment with tobacco, drugs and alcohol. This Fall we <br /> will have an officer teaching five fifth grade classes for a period of <br /> seventeen consecutive weeks. The D.A.R.E. Officer will spend a <br /> minimum of two days a week at Pinewood School during this <br /> seventeen week period. <br /> On the enforcement side, the Police Department will try to assign an <br /> officer to the Ramsey County Drug Task Force. This assignment will <br /> be for a minimum period of three months. An assignment for a <br /> longer period would be of a great benefit for Mounds View, but <br /> without hiring additional staff, both the Drug Task Force and Project <br /> D.A.R.E. would be in jeopardy. <br /> In 1994, all squads should be equipped and utilizing mobile data <br /> terminals. Increased costs will be realized with the use of this <br /> equipment. Our current computer system has been in place since <br /> 1986. Updates to hardware and software portions of this system <br /> should be anticipated. <br /> With an increase in population and a commercial and business <br /> district rapidly growing, police activity is increasing. Cutbacks in <br /> police services may be realized if revenues remain constant. Services <br /> such as unlocking car doors, property damage accidents, and <br /> vacation house checks may be in jeopardy_ unless additional <br /> resources are found. It will be the Police Department's goal to <br /> maintain police services within the resources available. <br /> 1994 GOALS INCLUDE: <br /> • Assignment of an officer to the Ramsey County Drug Task <br /> Force. <br /> • Installation and utilization of the Mobile Digital Terminal <br /> System. <br /> • Begin the selection process for a new DARE officer and possible <br /> assignment of a new investigator. <br /> 2s <br />
