2007 Patrol Review <br />Prepared by Sergeant Dan Diegnau <br />The year 2007 consisted of several additions, continual opportunities, and <br />many successes. <br />The year brought several additions to the St. Anthony Police Department. <br />Three officers were hired within the 2007 year. Officer Baker and Officer <br />Schlingman were hired in March of 2007 to cover the <br />new Lauderdale 24 hours patrol contract. Both <br />officers have successfully completed the field training <br />program and are currently on solo patrol. Officer <br />White was hired in December 2007 to replace an <br />officer who resigned. Officer White is currently in <br />field training with a veteran patrol officer. <br />Opportunities this year again <br />consisted of obtaining grant finances <br />for the ACE/Nite Cap Patrol and Safe <br />and Sober. The grant received from <br />ACE/Nite Cap Patrol allowed our <br />agency to add an additional officer on <br />patrol several weekend nights <br />throughout the year, enforcing traffic <br />50's VINTAGE PADDY WAGON <br />safety. This year's grant was reduced from the previous year. Our agency, <br />again, participated in the Safe and Sober Program. This program allows for <br />an additional officer to patrol the community during five separate "waves" <br />concentrating on DWI, speed, and seat belt enforcement. In the spring of <br />2007, our agency received a Safe and Sober award consisting of five paid <br />tuitions to the driving/PIT certification school at the Minnesota Highway <br />Safety Center. <br />The below listed statistics demonstrate the high level of effort and dedication <br />to traffic and community safety. <br />• 2357 citations for moving violations <br />• 627 citations for non - moving violations <br />1155 arrests <br />
