In March, and again in April, our own Officer Jeff Spiess <br />received two law enforcement service awards. The first was <br />presented by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.) for <br />his extraordinary efforts in traffic enforcement, particularly <br />in regards to D.W.I. enforcement. In April, Officer Spiess <br />was presented with the Meritorious Service Award, by the <br />Minnesota Chief's of Police Association, recognizing his <br />succession of outstanding acts of achievement over a <br />sustained period of time. <br />In April, the Police Department celebrated 50 <br />years of public service by <br />holding a Safety Expo at <br />the station. This was a <br />combined effort with the <br />fire department and public <br />works, both of which also <br />0 <br />had personnel and displays present. The public was invited to take a tour of <br />the facility, look <br />through a squad car, <br />speak to a crime <br />prevention officer <br />and meet members <br />of the police force. <br />A car seat clinic <br />was also held to <br />promote the safe installation and use of child safety seats. Many different <br />agencies joined us in this promotion of public safety efforts. <br />25 <br />In June Captain Dominic <br />Cotroneo, Officer Jeremy <br />Sroga and Officer Michael <br />Huddle ran the St. Anthony <br />(2.6 mile) leg of the Law <br />Enforcement TORCH run to <br />benefit Special Olympics. Our <br />Officer's received the torch and <br />ran our leg as the prelude to the <br />start of the Special Olympics. <br />
