Presentation of St. Anthony Police Reserve Program <br />9 <br />10 Police Sgt. Jeff Spiess provided an update on the St. Anthony Police Reserve Program. Sgt. <br />11 Spiess noted the summer time is always a very busy time for the Reserve Officers. They are <br />12 present at many community events especially Village Fest. They logged in over 200 hours for the <br />13 State Fair doing traffic control and parking assistance. The Reserve Officers were present at <br />14 many school events. <br />15 <br />16 Sgt. Spiess stated he has been involved in the Reserve Program for eight years. One of the <br />17 biggest challenges he has had is turnover. This year, six were lost within a month. They moved <br />18 onto become full time Police Officers. The Police Field Training Officers will be used to train <br />19 the Reserve Officers as a solution to that problem. A training manual was developed. This was a <br />20 huge success for the program. Three recent graduates from the program were present at the <br />21 meeting. The Program is a great benefit to both the participants and the City. <br />22 <br />23 Trent Studer, Brandon Hess, and George Oyoo introduced themselves stating their background <br />24 and desire to become Police Officers. <br />25 <br />26 Councilmember Jenson thanked the Police Reserves for coming to the meeting and their interest <br />27 in becoming Police Officers. <br />28 <br />29 Mayor Faust stated the problem of losing the Reserve Officers was solved very well with the <br />30 pairing up of the Officers with the Police Field Training Officers. This is a great example of <br />31 professional development. This is indeed a tangible asset. Mayor Faust welcomed Trent, <br />32 Brandon and George to the City. He stated each presented themselves very well. The Program <br />33 has the full support of the Council, City Staff and residents. <br />34 <br />35 VII. REPORTS FROM CITY MANAGER AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. <br />36 <br />37 City Manager Casey noted with the end of the year there are some terms expiring on two <br />38 Commissions.

He thanked <br />40 them for their service to the community. <br />41 <br />42 Mayor Faust thanked all for their service. <br />43 <br />44 VIII.
