1.6 <br />STAFF REPORT <br />DATE: October 22, 2009 <br />TO: Mike Mornson, City Manager <br />FROM: John Ohl, Chief of Police <br />SU13JECT: East Metro SWAT Medic Agre meat <br />As you are aware, the police department has been involved in a cooperative 5 city mutual <br />SWAT agreement since 2002. <br />The five chiefs associated with the team are constantly striving to keep the team professional <br />and as safe as possible for the team members. In this light, we have established a SWAT Medic <br />agreement which puts a paramedic with the team upon executing an operation. This medic <br />would be in a position to render immediate medical assistance should a SWAT operator be shot. <br />The agreement has been reviewed by a League of MN City's attorney, and I'm asking that it be <br />approved by the council. It should be noted that the cost for the medical oversight is $400 per <br />city per year, which will be absorbed in my current budget. <br />JO:vj <br />
