2003 St. Anthony Crime Prevention Summary <br /> Prepared by Officer Mosby <br /> Every member of our police department is involved with crime prevention. <br /> Our community oriented policing strategy allows for every officer to get <br /> involved with individual residents and businesses, addressing their concerns. <br /> There are two specially trained Crime Prevention Officers (Moore and <br /> Mosby) that are assigned specifically to St. Anthony. Their added <br /> responsibilities include setting up new block clubs and performing security <br /> surveys for homes and businesses. In addition, I (Mosby) write the quarterly <br /> crime prevention section that is published in the city newsletter. <br /> The police department's bike patrol was active this past summer. There are <br /> five officers that are trained as "Police Cyclists". Officers generally ride for <br /> at least four hours in the early evening, concentrating their attention on parks <br /> and heavy-traffic retail areas. <br /> The D.A.R.E. program serves as a form of crime prevention as well. <br /> Positive relationships are created between the D.A.R.E. officer and students, <br /> parents and school staff. These groups generally feel more comfortable <br /> approaching police officers to discuss their concerns. <br /> The following is a list of crime prevention related events that occurred <br /> during 2003: <br /> 03-03-03: Gave presentation to a Cub Scout Pack at St. Charles Borromeo <br /> 03-05-03: Attended neighborhood meeting on St Anthony Blvd reference speed limits <br /> 03-15-03: Gave tour of police department to church group <br /> 04-17-03: Gave seminar on Criminal Justice System to students at SAHS <br /> 04-30-03: Attended Block Party(2517 St Anthony Blvd) <br /> 05-13-03: Gave tour of police department to Cub Scout Pack and gave safety seminar <br /> 05-30-03: Gave seminar on bank robbery at US Bank <br /> 06-06-03: Attended all-night party for SAHS seniors <br /> 08-05-03: National Night Out (Approximately 23 block parties attended) <br /> 09-27-03: Attended Cub Foods' 350'Anniversary Party—Handed out crime prevention <br /> items and toys for the kids. <br /> 10-10-03: Attended SAMS Activity night <br /> 10-24-03: Attended Community Services Halloween Party and handed out candy <br /> 11-26-03: Gave police department tours to large groups of children from Child Care <br /> 13 <br />
