2003 Work Plan <br /> As we find ourselves generating the 2002 Annual Report, we are amidst a <br /> state financial crisis. Unsure budgets, cuts in local government aid, and talk <br /> of freezes on public employee wages will make. for a challenging year. Even <br /> as our 2003 budget is in place, we are looking at trimming it, and making <br /> significant reductions in the 2004 budget. <br /> In many ways, our goal for 2003 could be summed up in one sentence... <br /> "Continue to provide professional quality police service in an unsure <br /> economic environment." This being true, we would respectfully list the <br /> following as realistic goals for 2003: <br /> • Continue planning for a terrorist/weapons of mass destruction incident <br /> including mass decontamination, vaccination of 1St responders, <br /> updating city emergency operations plans, and networking with other <br /> local, county, and state jurisdictions. <br /> • Plan and participate in a major weapons of mass destruction critical <br /> incident involving multiple local, county, state, and federal agencies. <br /> The exercise will simulate 100 dead and 400 wounded. <br /> • Attempt to continue training for weapons of mass destruction/terrorist <br /> incidents with a limited budget. <br /> • Attempt to increase the amount of personal protective ensembles for <br /> city 1St responders. <br /> • Retain our trained and experienced police officers. <br /> • Work with the 800-megahertz and VHF systems safely and <br /> effectively. <br /> • Transition to total 800-megahertz dependency, with no VHF <br /> redundancy, in St. Anthony. <br /> • Continue to work with, and be a part of the family services <br /> collaborative, a grass roots organization that works on creating <br /> opportunities for area youth. <br /> 26 <br />
