1-Quoted 14 burglaries not taken care of-not accurate-some burglaries are still under <br /> investigation, therefore cannot be discussed. <br /> 1-Police cars running-this was also addressed with the chief by Jim and taken care of <br /> and reported back to the individual earlier this year. <br /> 1-Hours of service in the police department-The individual did not take into <br /> consideration 9 months of the year, 1 officer is in the school full-time. With meeting <br /> and other job requirements the Chief is not always available to work a regular patrol <br /> shift like the rest of the officers on a regular basis. All shifts need to be covered when <br /> officers are gone: vacations, comp time, sick leave. If an officer is called to court, they <br /> must attend whether it is their regular duty day or not. <br /> 1-Addressed a theft in the community not taken care of, this was out of our jurisdiction <br /> because it was a Federal offense. <br /> 1-Complaint stated we should be more aggressive in drug arrests-we are working with <br /> other agencies and cannot comment on this issue <br /> 1-This complaint form had 16 signatures on it about over policing. Only 5 of those <br /> signatures were from Pequot Lakes, (other signatures were from Cass Co,Pine River <br /> and Ideal Township) <br /> 1-Complaint was against Mayor and 1 Councilman concerning a meeting and <br /> discussion held-Councilman in question and the Mayor met with the party involved <br /> (other then the person on the complaint form). Then the chief met with the <br /> individual(other than the person on the complaint form). This matter had already been <br /> taken care of <br /> 1-Complaint against Councilman-exchange of words. (Private issue) <br /> 1-Complaint about and altercation with a family member with health issues. <br /> Unfortunate,police did not know the individual personally and that there were health <br /> issues, no family member present to advise officers. They were called to investigate <br /> and followed policies and procedures. <br /> There were some comments on attitude. <br /> I will personally write a letter to each of these complaints and explains the <br /> circumstances. This letter will be reviewed by a Councilman to make sure everything is <br /> accurate and according to the policies of the city. <br /> Cathy Malecha, Mayor <br />
