2017 Annual Report • Police Department • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br />14 | P a g e <br /> <br />VII. Administration Review <br />PREPARED BY OFFICE MANAGER KIM BRAZIL <br /> <br />2017 began with the Department of Justice (DOJ) making many data requests to help determine <br />many, and various, statistics, related to our department. We worked with several members of <br />the DOJ to provide all the necessary data they needed to complete the assessments. Although a <br />portion of this program was discontinued, we look forward to working with the DOJ again in <br />2018 to help with technical assistance related to pulling data <br />and developing reports from our records management <br />system. <br />This year, PLEAA (Professional Law Enforcement Assistants <br />Association) held its bi-annual conference. During this <br />conference, I was honored with an award from PLEAA for <br />“Making a Difference”. This award was in recognition of <br />our department’s work with the DOJ and sharing any <br />pertinent information learned through this process with <br />other departments. It was an honor to be recognized by this <br />professional organization. <br />As the year came to a close, and the closure of the contract with the City of Falcon Heights, we <br />evaluated the number of records generated based on that contract. After determining a <br />significant decrease in records, a difficult decision was made to eliminate the part-time (16 hour <br />a week) position of records clerk. Our records clerk was introduced to law enforcement after <br />attending one of our Citizen’s Academies. After attending the academy, she wanted to work <br />with the department and began as a volunteer. After a few years, the position was changed to a <br />paid position. She was a great asset to the department during her 9-1/2 years assisting residents, <br />officers, and office staff. <br />
