2015 Annual Report • Police Department • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br />17 | Page <br /> <br />Brandon Hess is eligible to be hired and we have had the pleasure of watching him grow from a <br />little boy! Brandon’s father is a 20+ year veteran of the St Anthony Police Department. It’s fun <br />to see how he has grown and become his own person (it also makes me feel very old!) <br /> <br />Emily Schroeder graduated from high school and spent her time traveling abroad studying and <br />seeing the world. She returned to Minnesota and completed her degree in Political Science. She <br />is in the final stages of being eligible to be hired as a full-time police officer. <br /> <br />Trent Studer grew up in St Anthony where he was captain of the football team at SAHS, he <br />graduated high school, married his sweetheart and moved to New Brighton. He has finished <br />his schooling and will also be taking the POST (Police Officer Standards and Training) test soon. <br /> <br />George Oyoo grew up in Sudan, Africa and moved to the United States about 15 years ago. He <br />and his family had to leave due to the war and fled here to begin again. After seeing what he <br />had seen, he decided he wanted to make a difference and help fight against evil. He stayed in <br />the United States where he feels he was given a second chance to live his life free of war. He is <br />currently going to school to become a police officer. <br /> <br />Although it may seem as if the department would suffer given all the newly hired officers, they <br />all stepped up to help in every area they could. We finished the year with 2,420 hours <br />volunteered. That is amazing! I am so proud of this group of people. They exemplify what it is <br />all about to give of oneself for the benefit of others. The benefit is not only seen by our <br />residents, but also by our sworn officers who have grown to not only want, but to expect, the <br />level of commitment these reserves have to offer. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />This year we have 2 officers who will be receiving the Eagle Award, the Eagle Award is <br />given to reserve officers who volunteer a total of 300 or more hours. That is double the <br />minimum amount of hours required by the department. <br /> <br />Those officers are: <br /> <br />Steve Panning with 303 hours <br /> <br />Emily Schroeder with 450 hours <br />
