The Department once again participated in the Christmas for Kids program in our local area and assisted other area law enforcement personnel with making deliveries to area needy families. Participating this year from our Dept were Officers Gartner, Petersen and Reserve Officer Ryan assisting while in full uniform. Reserve Officers Borleis and Wedan were both Santa and Jarosh was Mrs. Clause. Office Mgr Wedan was a reindeer and her mother also assisted for the first time as an Elf. Training: Officer Gartner provided Snowmobile Safety training for members of the Reserve Unit that will use the Dept snowmobile to assist the Dept with home security checks during the winter months. This will allow them to check on lake homes from the lakeside of properties, besides from the street side, especially for remote homes or for properties with unplowed driveways. Also, in an effort to help prevent theft and vandalism, they will be able to use the sled to check on area fish houses. Respectfully Submitted, Jerry Braam Chief of Police
