The former policing partnership with Falcon Heights was highly <br />valued in both communities. <br />• The contract with Falcon Heights was terminated by both communities following the <br />shooting death of Philando Castile by a St. Anthony Police Department (SAPD) officer in <br />July 2016. <br />Falcon Heights has contracted with the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office since January 2018, and <br />the contract will expire at the end of 2024. Falcon Heights is seeking a long-term fit for its <br />policing services beginning in 2025. <br />• The SAPD is currently authorized for 20 sworn officers, increasing to 22 on July 1, 2024. <br />• If the partnership moves forward, St. Anthony Village will add additional positions to <br />support the expanded area while maintaining the high level of service the St. Anthony <br />Village and Lauderdale communities currently receive. <br />Mr. Yunker reviewed the 4 process stages being: <br />Phase 1— Consider Concept — Preliminary conversations and a joint meeting was held between <br />the Falcon Heights and St. Anthony City Councils to explore a renewed partnership. <br />Phase 2 — Stakeholder Input — Gather & analyze the feedback received from our community <br />and police department. <br />
