ST ANTHONY ANNUAL PATROL STATISTICS <br /> The core of any police department is the patrol division. The duties <br /> performed by patrol officers vary from enforcement (i.e. traffic enforcement <br /> and criminal arrests), to everyday general contacts with the public. It could <br /> be said that the patrol division is the "face" of the department. <br /> This is especially true in the case of the St. Anthony Police Department. <br /> The high visibility they provide is a major deterrent for criminal activity. <br /> The patrol staff continued to perform at consistently high levels in 2002. <br /> They issued 2360 citations for moving violations (596 of those for <br /> speeding), and arrested over 700 people, during the course of their patrol <br /> duties. It should also be noted that most of the patrol officers have <br /> additional specific detail assignments, which make demands on their patrol <br /> time. These details vary from being a use of force.instructor, firearms <br /> instructor, crime prevention officer, DARE officer, to a member of the <br /> tactical response unit (joint unit with Roseville PD). Several officers are <br /> responsible for the management and maintenance of the various items and <br /> equipment used by the department on a day-to-day basis. <br /> 10 <br />
