Presentation of St. Anthony Police Reserve Program 8 9 Police Sgt. Jeff Spiess provided an update on the St. Anthony Police Reserve Program. Sgt. 10 Spiess noted the summer time is always a very busy time for the Reserve Officers. They are 11 present at many community events especially Village Fest. They logged in over 200 hours for the 12 State Fair doing traffic control and parking assistance. The Reserve Officers were present at 13 many school events. 14 15 Sgt. Spiess stated he has been involved in the Reserve Program for eight years. One of the 16 biggest challenges he has had is turnover. This year, six were lost within a month. They moved 17 onto become full time Police Officers. The Police Field Training Officers will be used to train 18 the Reserve Officers as a solution to that problem. A training manual was developed. This was a 19 huge success for the program. Three recent graduates from the program were present at the 20 meeting. The Program is a great benefit to both the participants and the City. 21 22 Trent Studer, Brandon Hess, and George Oyoo introduced themselves stating their background 23 and desire to become Police Officers. 24 25 Councilmember Jenson thanked the Police Reserves for coming to the meeting and their interest 26 in becoming Police Officers. 27 28 Mayor Faust stated the problem of losing the Reserve Officers was solved very well with the 29 pairing up of the Officers with the Police Field Training Officers. This is a great example of 30 professional development. This is indeed a tangible asset. Mayor Faust welcomed Trent, 31 Brandon and George to the City. He stated each presented themselves very well. The Program 32 has the full support of the Council, City Staff and residents. 33 34 VII.
