2018 Annual Report • Police Department • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br />19 | P a g e <br /> <br />VIII. Police Reserve Summary <br />PREPARED BY SERGEANT JEREMY SROGA <br />The St. Anthony Police Reserve Program has once again <br />proven to be an integral asset to the police department <br />and the Cities of St. Anthony and Lauderdale. Over the <br />past year, the police reserves have assisted our officers <br />and residents in their efforts to work together to maintain a <br />welcoming and safe environment to live in, visit and enjoy. <br />While contributing over 1100 hours of service in 2018, <br />some of the activities that the Police Reserves have <br />performed are: <br /> provided security and pedestrian/vehicle traffic safety at community events, such as <br />Villagefest, Lauderdale Day-in-the-Park, SAHS football games and the CP Holiday Train <br /> patrolled parks, schools, residential neighborhoods and businesses <br /> assisted as role players in police department in-house continuing education <br /> assisted at crime scenes, motor vehicle crashes and other police related incidents <br /> transported prisoners and others involved in police related incidents <br />As the years go by, we have some police reserves come and go, and 2018 was no exception. <br />Typically, our police reserves use their experience here as a steppingstone to a career in law <br />enforcement or related field. This year, we have seen 5 of our reserves move on from our <br />program to further their careers as police officers and community service officers in the Cities of <br />Blaine, Brooklyn Center and of course, St. Anthony. We are pleased that former St. Anthony <br />Police Reserves Mike Milbrandt and James Gerbino have advanced their careers with our <br />department in their roles as community service officer and police officer, respectively. <br />While we are currently accepting applications for vacant police reserve positions, I am fortunate <br />to have the assistance of Officer Sunde and Officer Rushton with police reserve recruiting, <br />scheduling, training, event planning and other behind-the-scenes administrative tasks related to <br />the program. <br />We are grateful for the volunteered time and dedication that the police reserves have made <br />through their service to the Cities of St. Anthony and Lauderdale. We look forward to the <br />challenges of the coming year, as we welcome new candidates to our program.
