2003 POLICE RESERVE SUMMARY <br /> Prepared by Lt. Scholl <br /> The St. Anthony Police Reserves volunteered 2,272 hours for 2003. These <br /> hours do not include police reserve administration time spent on meetings <br /> and planning. We lost reserves in 2003. Two began their law enforcement <br /> careers. Three left due to life changes. All left in good standing with <br /> SAPD. One person, Jeff Johnson,joined our unit. The St. Anthony Police <br /> Department obtained Mr. Johnson from the Minneapolis Police Department. <br /> All reserves are well trained; including Mr. Johnson. The St. Anthony <br /> Police Department reserve strength currently stands at 10 members with no <br /> one on leave. <br /> Hours attributed to reserve patrol totaled 1286. This time was spent with <br /> patrolling cities, vehicle lockouts, vehicle impounds; minor assists, medicals, <br /> transports, animal complaints, parking enforcement, and other tasks that they <br /> were directed to assist with by sworn officers. <br /> Hours attributed to special events totaled 608. Our police reserves assisted <br /> with school carnivals, St. Charles Mardi-Gras, Villagefest, local parades, <br /> National Night Out, school dances, sporting events, State Fair, and other <br /> events. Event hours nearly doubled 2002 hours and this was done with <br /> fewer officers. <br /> Reserve Sergeant Gary Myrick, once again, led in hours served. <br /> Due to restraints, training was down a bit for 2003. Reserves received <br /> training from the Hennepin County Sheriff's Department. Many reserves <br /> received search and rescue training. We met our EMS training goals <br /> covering both 1't Responder and EMT. All reserves received basic 800 MHz <br /> schooling. <br /> Police reserves assisted SAPD as role players during our in-house Use of <br /> Force and SIMS shoots. Several reserves also testified in court due to <br /> situations, which occurred while on duty. <br /> 20 <br />
