2023 3rd Quarter Report —Neighborhood Resource Officer The NRO responded to 196 calls for service in the third quarter and participated in 14 Community Outreach events. 47 of the cases were investigations received from Child Protection and Adult Protection reporting maltreatment of children and vulnerable adults. During the third quarter, the NRO continued to assist with filling in with patrol shifts as needed due to staffing levels. This quarter the Mounds View Police Department continued efforts that have been established with the Crime Free Multi Housing Apartment Landlord Coalition. The cities of Mounds View and New Brighton expanded their collaboration efforts to now include the City of Roseville with hosting meetings for landlords every other month. Roseville hosted their first meeting and property managers heard from representatives of the Metropolitan Council HRA in regards to the Housing Choice Voucher program. Mounds View will be hosting the next meeting followed by New Brighton. Through the Crime Free Multi- Housing coalition, the NRO has sent out three strike 1 letters. Subsequently, there were two strike 2 letters sent out. In that instance, it was the same property manager who received both strike 2 notices. The property manager provided the NRO with proper documentation needed after a second -strike letter and has remained in contact for any follow up issues. The NRO continued to work with the City of Mounds View Code Enforcement to mitigate any property management issues. The NRO has continued communication with representatives from Northeast Youth and Family Services to provide aid for youths, adults, and families in need of mental health counseling and community support services. The previous community outreach coordinator stepped down from the position and it has yet to be filled. The NRO submitted 3 referrals for services through NYFS for mental health and housing resources during the third quarter. Two referrals for services to Ramsey County Parent Support Outreach Program were submitted by the NRO during the third quarter as well. Community outreach event collaborations have continued between the NRO and the Mounds View Police Foundation. Events over the course of the third quarter included passing out popsicles at city parks on the 4th of July dubbed 'Popsicles at the Park'. Due to weather on the day of there was a surplus of popsicles, which were passed out though the summer when the City Hall Park had an influx of attendance. Being able to host outreach events such as this assisted with continuous efforts of building relationships and interacting with members of the community. The NRO also hosted another catalytic converter marking clinic through the MN Department of Commerce Catguard pilot program. The NRO with help from the city mechanic marked 34 catalytic converters. In August, the City participated in Night to Unite once again. Throughout the day, officers were able to attend 27 block parties. This year's Night to Unite focused on a food drive for Ralph Reeder food shelf. The NRO delivered two car loads of supplies to Ralph Reeder on behalf of the residents of Mounds View. Several other outreach events include countless Rockwall events, Festival in the park, and apartment barbeques.
