<br />2018 Annual Report • Administration • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br />II. 2018 Highlights <br />COLLABORATIVE REFORM <br />Throughout 2018, our police department has remained focused on <br />working closely with our COPS Office technical assistance partners in <br />order to achieve our community stakeholder identified goals and <br />objectives. The Department of Justice Collaborative Reform Initiative <br />for Technical Assistance (DOJ CRI-TA) site team made monthly visits <br />to our police department to provide technical assistance and connect <br />our personnel with subject matter experts. The ultimate goal was to <br />increase our capacity and bandwidth within our agency as we pursued <br />the development of a department strategic plan which was unveiled to the public this past June <br />(2018) during an open house. This document, our supporting mission and vision, along with <br />historical information regarding CRI-TA can be found on our city website. <br />More information will be presented in the Police Department’s Annual Report. <br /> <br />BODY CAMERAS <br />January of 2018 marked the beginning of the police department’s development and <br />implementation of a police officer body worn camera (BWC) program. The project <br />required the integration of many components, to include: MN State Statute, <br />Department Policy, Community/Stakeholder Input, User Input, BWC Grant <br />Funding Requirements, Technology Integration, Training and Auditing <br />Requirements. Partnerships and collaborations were crucial to successfully <br />completing the project. The department’s police officer’s eagerly embraced the <br />technology. With the implementation fully completed in November 2018, we <br />greatly enhanced our shared commitment to transparency and accountable in <br />service to our community. <br />More information will be presented in the Police Department’s Annual Report.
