20 X. Crime Prevention Summary <br />2013 Annual Report · Police Department · St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br />Our Officers volunteer to engage in a wide variety of community based <br />activities throughout the year, while still maintaining a full time active <br />role in patrolling our community. Officers logged well over 100+ “stop <br />and talk” proactive patrol details over this past year. Officers provided <br />countless hours of extra patrol at our local schools and after school <br />programs. These activities may not be as noteworthy as the others <br />previously mentioned in this report, but they do have a strong impact on <br />the well-being of our community. <br />From the start of their careers, St. Anthony Officers are encouraged to <br />provide a community orientated approach to policing. They are asked to <br />be teachers, coaches, and mentors as they perform the often challenging <br />law enforcement function. Many officers volunteer their time to support <br />the functions mentioned in this report. It takes a great deal of time <br />and patience as officers to develop these skills and the skills required <br />to reach the goals of policing a community. Our patrol officers, reserve <br />officers, support staff and command staff all take great pride in offering <br />quality programs and support to the community we serve. <br />On behalf of the St. Anthony Police Department I would like to thank our <br />local businesses, civic organizations and volunteers that have helped us <br />deliver the programs and services described in this report.
