2007 POLICE EDUCATION SUMMARY <br />Prepared by Lieutenant Scholl <br />The following is a summary of the Police Department training in 2007. This <br />report does not include field training, WMD, SWAT, Reserves, or clerical. <br />This department, once again, met all requirements that the Minnesota Peace <br />Officers Standards and Training (POST) demands. Eleven members were <br />certified or recertified with Emergency Driving/Pursuit Techniques. Every <br />member qualified in at least (3) POST shoots. Every Officer completed at <br />least (8) hours of use -of -force training with no injuries. Each of us received <br />a minimum of (8) hours in the emergency medical field and a (4) hour <br />minimum covering OSHA. The majority of these two fields were taught by <br />the St. Anthony Fire Department. They continued to provide informative, <br />needed training, from a professional staff. <br />The Police Department completed at least 1708 hours of training in 2007; <br />with 64% (1108 hours) POST certified. This is the fifth straight year our <br />POST hours have increased. <br />Our patrol became fully compliant with Safe and Sober /Drugs /Advanced <br />Standardized Field Sobriety Testing. If state funds are available in 2008, this <br />will lead to additional DWI Enforcement. This has led to street awareness <br />and DWI arrests involving drug impairment. <br />We expanded our education from 2006 training in the following fields: <br />• Death Investigation <br />• Computer Crimes <br />• Armorer <br />• School Crime /Terror <br />• Incident Response <br />• Crime Prevention <br />• High Tech Crimes <br />• Field Training <br />Sergeant Mangseth did resume his Management Series training and will <br />continue this in 2008. <br />14 <br />
