ST ANTHONY ANNUAL PATROL STATISTICS <br /> Prepared by Lt. Cotroneo <br /> The most important responsibility of the Patrol Unit in a police department <br /> is to be as visible as possible. It's this wide visibility, which makes the <br /> police department accessible to the residents it serves, and acts as a deterrent <br /> to criminal activity. <br /> The patrol officers on the St. Anthony Police Department continued their <br /> consistently high level of activity in the year 2003. The Patrol staff issued <br /> 2373 citations in the City. Of the citations issued, 1772 were for moving <br /> violations (with 566 of those for speeding violations). They also arrested <br /> 700 individuals during the course of their patrol duties throughout the year. <br /> The patrol staff continues to recognize and follow the Department's <br /> Community Orientated Policing Strategy, which is to: <br /> -Arrest offenders <br /> -Prevent crime <br /> -Solve on-going problems <br /> -Improve the overall quality of life <br /> Their high visibility and activity, together with teamwork, allows the Police <br /> Department to provide the residents of St. Anthony, with the level of service <br /> they've come to expect. <br /> 9 <br />
