2017 Annual Report • Police Department • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br />25 | P a g e <br /> <br /> <br />February: Officer Rushton contributed a personal donation to local <br />students raising funds for a trip to Puerto Rico for a Spanish <br />Immersion School. <br />Officer South met with a senior group at Chandler Place to speak <br />about senior safety. <br />March: Officer Rushton provided a presentation on traffic law to a <br />class of students at St. Anthony High School. <br />The kids of St. Anthony took on the St. <br />Anthony Police Department in the 9th Annual Cops versus Kids <br />Basketball Challenge. Eight teams of St. Anthony kids each played a <br />fifteen minute basketball game against a not-so-impressive team of St. <br />Anthony Cops. Captain Jeff <br />Spiess led a team of nine other <br />officers through the eight <br />games against these <br />formidable teams of 5th and 6th grade kids. The well <br />attended event was recorded and broadcast by the <br />local CTV station. All of our officers have a great <br />time at these games, and it seemed that the kids and <br />their families enjoyed themselves a lot too. Some <br />good memories for us all. <br />Officer Rushton volunteered his own time to be a judge for a Police Explorers competition. The <br />event helped kids aged 14-20 become familiar with law enforcement, and bridge the gap <br />between young persons and police. <br /> <br />SAPD Community Service Officer Isma’il Touré attended and <br />participated in the annual St. Anthony Soccer Social. The soccer social <br />is hosted by a local St. Anthony Boosters club. CSO Touré is an avid <br />soccer player himself, and was specifically invited to this event. <br />
