2015 Annual Report • Police Department • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br />20 | Page <br /> <br />The team applied for, and was awarded, grant funding to purchase protective equipment. <br />Helmets and personal body armor was purchased for team members. <br /> <br />An essential goal of East Metro SWAT has always been to provide responsive, effective, and <br />high quality services to the communities that the team serves. The partnership of the agencies <br />involved provides a well trained and equipped tactical team capable of addressing high stress <br />and high risk incidents. This is accomplished in a cost effective manner through partnering and <br />sharing of resources. It allows the St. Anthony Police Department access to greater resources <br />and a flexible and capable tactical team with minimal impact on our budget and Patrol <br />operations. A side effect is a deeper working relationship with surrounding agencies, which <br />results in more effective and efficient police work across jurisdictions. The Police Department <br />has found success with this unique partnership for over thirteen years. We are looking forward <br />to building on the quality and value of this investment into 2016. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
