While the POST Board performs many functions, a significant portion of the POST's responsibility is dedicated to conducting "compliance reviews" of Minnesota law enforcement agencies to ensure they are meeting legislatively mandated training and department policies on Use of Force/Firearms training, Emergency Vehicle Operation and Pursuit Driving training and mandated departmental policies. On October 7, 2015, a POST Board Standards Coordinator conducted a review at the Pequot Lakes Police Department. After a comprehensive review of their records concerning mandated employee training and department policies, I am pleased to inform you that your police department passed the review. Ensuring all law enforcement agencies around the state are in compliance plays a pivotal role in maintaining the high level of professionalism we have enjoyed in Minnesota for many years and that professionalism translates into quality law enforcement services for the citizens of Minnesota. Please take a moment to recognize your police department for this important accomplishment. Sinc rely, •, • Nathan R. Gove Executive Director AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
