MEMORANDUM
To:St. Anthony Village City Council
From:Jeff Spiess, Police Chief
Date:January 28, 2025 City Council Meeting
Subject :Strategic Plan Presentation
In 2018, the St. Anthony Police Department developed its first Strategic Plan. This plan introduced a revised
Vision and Mission and detailed nine departmental goals, along with several objectives for each goal. Input from
all members of the police department was sought, and the plan also incorporated valuable community
feedback. Since its creation, the Strategic Plan has undergone annual updates to reflect objectives that have
been achieved, revised, or otherwise satisfied. It remains a legacy document, guiding both daily actions and
long-term goals.
In 2024, the Strategic Plan underwent its first major renovation since its inception. All department members
collaborated in group sessions on multiple occasions to reshape the plan into its current form. During this
process, the number of goals was condensed from nine to six for greater focus and manageability. Objectives
were reevaluated, and members identified the objectives they would take the lead in achieving.
A key outcome of this process was the identification of three core departmental values. Each team contributed
suggestions for values that best encapsulate the department's culture and approach to service. From these
contributions, the following three core values were identified:
1.Integrity
We uphold the highest standards of honesty, accountability, and professionalism in every action and
decision, ensuring trust within our community.
2.Courage
We act with strength and determination, facing challenges and uncertainty with confidence to protect
and serve our community.
3.Compassion
We treat all individuals with empathy, understanding, and respect, recognizing the humanity and dignity
of every person we encounter.
I am deeply grateful and proud of the dedication and hard work that went into its creation. Each member of the
department is committed to achieving the plan's goals, fulfilling our mission and vision, and embodying the core
values that define our service to the community.

MEMORANDUM
To:St. Anthony Village City Council
From:Jeff Spiess, Police Chief
Date:January 28, 2025 City Council Meeting
Subject :Drone Program Presentation
BACKGROUND
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly referred to as drones, offer advanced capabilities for law
enforcement, including enhanced situational awareness, search and rescue operations, and improved public
safety outcomes. To proceed with the acquisition and deployment of UAVs, the St. Anthony Police Department
has prepared a presentation detailing the benefits and safeguards of the proposed Drone Program.
In compliance with Minnesota State Statute 626.19(9), the law requires:
1.Public Comment Opportunity: The law enforcement agency must provide an opportunity for public
comment before purchasing or using a UAV. Comments must be accepted electronically and by mail.
On December 23, 2024, a News Flash was sent announcing the exploration of the Drone Program, along
with placement on the City of St. Anthony Village website. As of this date, 5 comments were received via
electronic communications.
2.Governing Body Meeting: The governing body with jurisdiction over the budget of the local law
enforcement agency must allow public comment at a regularly scheduled meeting.
Also included in the December 23, 2024 announcement, was the notice of the opportunity for public
comment during the January 28, 2025 City Council meeting.
PRESENTATION
The following is a summary of the presentation to be made by Chief Jeff Spiess during the City Council meeting.
The purpose of the Drone Program is to serve the mission of the St. Anthony Police Department: To improve the
overall quality of life by preserving the peace and safety of the community.
There is currently widespread use of drones in Minnesota law enforcement. As of June 2024, 99 Minnesota law
enforcement agencies use drones, and all neighboring police departments to St. Anthony have an active drone
program.
Drones have widespread use in the location of missing and vulnerable persons, improving security for large-scale
public events, and to enhance safety for police officers and the community
Currently, St. Anthony Police Department has had to rely on outside agencies to assist when the use of a drone
is needed. Response is limited to the availability of others. Recently, the use of drones could have been used to
assist in locating a missing and vulnerable person, in determining the correct response of officers dispatched to
the report of juveniles with firearms, and in locating a burglary suspect inside of a home.
25
There is some concern that the use of drones could impede on the privacy afforded to members of our
community. Minnesota State Statute 626.19 articulates when and where a drone can be used without the use of
a search warrant. These include:
Emergency situation that involves risk of death or bodily harm to a person
Public event with heightened safety concerns
Counter risk of terrorist attack
Prevent loss of life and property in disaster situations
Conduct threat assessment in anticipation of special event
Collect information from public area if there is reasonable suspicion of criminal activity
Crash reconstruction of serious collision
Over public area for officer training or public relations purposes
Per MN State Statute 626.19(12), all UAV deployments without a search warrant must be reported to the
Commissioner of Public Safety, which is then disseminated to the public.
CONCLUSION
The Drone Program represents a significant step forward in enhancing the capabilities of the St. Anthony Police
Department. By adhering to statutory requirements and fostering community engagement, we aim to
implement this program responsibly and effectively. Your attention and input on this matter are greatly
appreciated.

St. Anthony, MN 55418
Dear Chief Spiess:
An independent audit of the St. Anthony Police Department’s Portable Recording System (body-
worn cameras (BWCs)) was conducted of November 5, 2024. The objective of the audit was to
verify St. Anthony Police Department’s compliance with Minnesota Statutes §§13.825 and
626.8473.
Data elements the audit includes:
Minnesota Statute §13.825
• Data Classification
• Retention of Data
• Access by Data Subjects
• Inventory of Portable Recording System Technology
• Use of Agency-Issued Portable Recording Systems
• Authorization to Access Data
• Sharing Among Agencies
Minnesota Statute §626.8473
• Public Comment
• Portable Recording System Policy
St. Anthony Police Department is located in Hennepin and Ramsey Counties and employs
nineteen (19) peace officers. St. Anthony Police Department utilizes Panasonic Arbitrator body-
worn cameras and Arbitrator 360° Back-End Client management software. BWC data is stored
on a local file server hosted by Metro-Inet. The audit covers the time period October 16, 2022,
through October 31, 2024.
Audit Requirement: Data Classification
Determine if the data collected by BWCs are appropriately classified.
BWC data is presumptively private. All BWC data collected during the audit period is classified
as private or non-public data. St. Anthony Police Department had no instances of the discharge
of a firearm by a peace officer, use of force that resulted in substantial bodily harm, requests
from data subjects for the data to be made accessible to the public, or court orders directing the
39
agency to release the BWC data to the public.
No discrepancies noted.
Audit Requirement: Retention of Data
Determine if the data collected by BWC’s are appropriately retained and destroyed in
accordance with statutes.
St. Anthony Police Department utilizes the General Records Retention Schedule for Minnesota
Cities and agency specified retention periods in the Arbitrator 360° Back-End Client. Either
during, or at the conclusion of a BWC recording, an Arbitrator classification is assigned. Each
Arbitrator classification has an associated retention period. Upon reaching the retention date,
data is systematically deleted.
A server log report of all BWC data created and deleted during the audit period was provided.
Records from the server log report were reviewed and the date and time the data was created was
verified against the deletion date. Each of the records were deleted or maintained in accordance
with the record retention schedule. All records were maintained for at least the minimum ninety
(90) days required by statute.
The St. Anthony Police Department had received no requests from data subjects to retain BWC
data beyond the applicable retention period.
Supervisors monitor categorization of BWC data to ensure data are appropriately retained and
destroyed.
No discrepancies noted.
Audit Requirement: Access by Data Subjects
Determine if individuals who are the subject of collected data have access to the data, and if the
data subject requests a copy of the data, other individuals who do not consent to its release must
be redacted.
BWC data is available to data subjects and access may be requested by submission of an St.
Anthony Police Department data request form. During the audit period, St. Anthony Police
Department had received both requests to view and requests for copies of BWC video from data
subjects. Data subjects who had not consented to release of the data were redacted. Access to
data is documented in the records management system dissemination log.
No discrepancies noted.
40
Audit Requirement: Inventory of Portable Recording System Technology
Determine the total number of recording devices owned and maintained by the agency; a daily
record of the total number of recording devices actually deployed and used by officers, the
policies and procedures for use of portable recording systems by required by section 626.8473;
and the total amount of recorded audio and video collected by the portable recording system and
maintained by the agency; the agency’s retention schedule for the data; the agency’s procedures
for destruction of the data; and that the data are available to the public.
St. Anthony Police Department’s BWC inventory consists of twenty-six (26) devices. An
inventory of the total number of devices owned by the agency is maintained in a Microsoft Excel
spreadsheet. BWCs are assigned to individual officers.
St. Anthony Police Department’s BWC policy governs the use of portable recording systems by
peace officers while in the performance of their duties. The policy requires officers to ensure the
BWC is in good working order at the start of their shift. If the recorder is not in good working
order or the officer becomes aware of a malfunction at any time, they are required to promptly
report the failure to their supervisor and obtain a functioning device as soon as reasonably
practicable.
Peace officers were initially trained on the use of BWC’s during a Minnesota Peace Officer
Standards and Training (POST) certified training course. Newly hired officers are trained as part
of their field training program.
Officers working on randomly selected dates, and randomly selected calls for service, were
compared to Arbitrator 360° Back-End Client and the server log report and confirmed that
BWCs are being deployed and used by officers. A review of the total number of BWC videos
created per quarter compared to calls for service shows a consistent collection of BWC data.
The total amount of active BWC data is accessible in Arbitrator 360°. The server log report
details the total amount of BWC data created, deleted, and stored/maintained. St. Anthony Police
Department utilizes the General Records Retention Schedule for Minnesota cities and agency
specified retention in Arbitrator 360° Back-End Client. BWC video is fully deleted from the
Arbitrator 360° Back-End Client and local file server upon reaching the scheduled deletion date.
Meta data information is maintained on the server. BWC data is available upon request, and
access may be requested by submission of a data request form.
No discrepancies noted.
Audit Requirement: Use of Agency-Issued Portable Recording Systems
Determine if peace officers are only allowed to use portable recording systems issued and
maintained by the officer’s agency.
St. Anthony Police Department’s BWC policy states that Officers are prohibited from using
41
personally owned recording devices while on duty without the express consent of the shift
supervisor/officer in charge.
No discrepancies noted.
Audit Requirement: Authorization to Access Data
Determine if the agency complies with sections 13.05, Subd. 5, and 13.055 in the operation of
portable recording systems and in maintaining portable recording system data.
Supervisors conduct monthly reviews of BWC data to ensure data is properly categorized and
that BWCs are being utilized in compliance with policy.
Nonpublic BWC data is only available to persons whose work assignment reasonably requires
access to the data. User access to BWC data is managed by the assignment of group roles and
permissions in Arbitrator 360° Back-End Client. Permissions are based on staff work
assignments. Information Technology, under the direction of the Chief of Police is responsible
for managing the assignment of user rights. Access to Arbitrator 360° Back-End Client is
password protected.
The BWC policy governs access to BWC data. Personnel may access BWC data for legitimate,
specified law enforcement purposes and pursuant to lawful process and in accordance with
policy, statute, and the Minnesota Data Practices Act. Personnel accessing BWC data must enter
a Case Note in the records management system documenting the date and reason for the access.
Access to BWC data is captured in the Arbitrator 360° Back-End Client audit trail.
When BWC video is deleted from Arbitrator 360° Back-End Client, its contents cannot be
determined. St. Anthony Police Department has had no security breaches. A BCA CJIS security
audit was conducted in July of 2024.
No discrepancies noted.
Audit Requirement: Sharing Among Agencies
Determine if nonpublic BWC data shared with other law enforcement agencies, government
entities, or federal agencies is in accordance with statute.
St. Anthony Police Department’s BWC and Records Maintenance and Release policies govern
the sharing of BWC data. BWC may be shared pursuant to lawful process and in accordance
with policy, statute, and the Minnesota Data Practices Act. Agencies seeking access to BWC
data are required to submit a written request. Sharing of BWC data is documented in the records
management system.
No discrepancies noted.
42
Audit Requirement: Biennial Audit
Determine if the agency maintains records showing the date and time the portable recording
system data were collected, the applicable classification of the data, how the data are used, and
whether data are destroyed as required.
The Arbitrator 360° Back-End Client and a database server log report document the date and
time BWC data were collected and deleted. All BWC data for the audit period is classified as
private or non-public data. The audit trail and the records management system media and
dissemination log document how the data are used and shared.
No discrepancies noted.
Audit Requirement: Portable Recording System Vendor
Determine if portable recording system data stored in the cloud, is stored in accordance with
security requirements of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation Criminal Justice
Information Services Division Security Policy 5.4 or its successor version.
St. Anthony Police Department BWC data is stored on a server hosted by Metro Inet. The server
is stored in a secure location and access is password protected and requires dual authentication.
No discrepancies noted.
Audit Requirement: Public Comment
Determine if the law enforcement agency provided an opportunity for public comment before it
purchased or implemented a portable recording system and if the governing body with
jurisdiction over the budget of the law enforcement agency provided an opportunity for public
comment at a regularly scheduled meeting.
A Tri-City Body Camera Work Group, consisting of residents of St. Anthony, Falcon Heights,
and Lauderdale, staff, and City Council liaisons, reviewed police policies and protocols, best
practices and trends, and policy development and presented policy recommendations to the Chief
of Police, City Manager and St. Anthony City Council for officer worn cameras. The St.
Anthony Police Department solicited for public comment by Public Notice, and the Chief of
Police accepted questions and comments by email. The St. Anthony City Council held a public
hearing at their October 24, 2017, meeting.
No discrepancies noted.
Audit Requirement: Body-worn Camera Policy
Determine if a written policy governing the use of portable recording systems has been
43
established and is enforced.
St. Anthony Police Department’s BWC policy is posted on the agency’s website. The policy was
compared to the requirements of Minn. Stat. § 626.8473. The policy includes all minimum
requirements of Minn. Stat. § 626.8473, Subd. 3(b) with the exception of 3(b)(3). The policy was
updated to include all minimum requirements prior to the completion of the final audit report.
Discrepancy noted.
This report was prepared exclusively for the City of St. Anthony and St. Anthony Police
Department by Lynn Lembcke Consulting. The findings in this report are impartial and based on
information and documentation provided and examined.
