Crime Prevention Summary <br />Prepared by Sergeant Jon Mangseth <br />2007 was another busy year for the Officers assigned to the St. Anthony <br />Police Department Crime Prevention Unit. <br />We kicked off January by holding our <br />first ever Cops vs. Kids Basketball Night <br />at the high school gymnasium. We <br />played 1 game every 15 minutes, for 2 <br />hours, playing a total of 8 teams. 80+ <br />I •, �L'"' kids from grades 5 -8 were involved. By <br />all accounts, everyone had a great time. <br />During March, April and May of 2007, Officer Tressa Sunde, Reserve Lt. <br />Carolyn Quick and Sergeant Jon Mangseth developed, planned and executed <br />the second department Citizen Academy. Patterned after the first Academy, <br />students covered such topics as: Patrol Procedures, Property and Personal <br />Crimes, Criminal Procedures, DWI/DRE, the Use of Force/Defensive <br />Tactics, Intro to Firearms, Simunition Shoot, DARE, Crime Prevention and <br />the Reserve Officer Program. With assistance from Chief John Ohl, Captain <br />Dominic Cotroneo, Officer Jim Wychor, Officer Mark Mosby, Officer Dan <br />Johnson and Officer Jeff Spiess, the 2" d Academy was a huge success. <br />Many of the students remarked at how "hands on" and interactive the <br />experience was for them. Through the experience, many participants <br />indicated they were able to dispel currently held myths of law enforcement <br />and gain a realistic understanding of the police profession. <br />Spring 2007 Citizen's Academy <br />24 <br />
