Pequot Lakes Police Dept. Report to the City Council April 26, 2007 For the month of April the Department has logged 212 individual ICRs. Current Activities: The Reserves, Part time and Full time Officers continued to conduct separate business and home security checks throughout the month. The whole department continues to learn the new record system, along with the rest of law enforcement throughout the county. Officers are working to learn the in-squad computer system and all personnel are learning to navigate the record system. Office Manager Wedan has been busy designing several code tables, setting up our Dept's permissions, formats and procedures; training officers, reserves and developing a use manual; and monitoring our Dept. use to coordinate with other Agency Administrators at other departments and the county. Please bear with us as we learn to use the system efficiently; including designing a reporting system to provide you with your monthly report. On Thursday, April 12th, the Police and Fire Departments along with other local ambulance service, air care and other emergency services presented a MOC DUI crash site demonstration to the Junior and Senior classes of the Pequot Lakes High School, their parents and community members. The life like simulation was done 2 days before the students had their prom; and included showing what jobs the emergency personnel have to do for these types of situations. At the end of the crash site demonstration, a MOC death notification was also performed to show how an officer would have to tell a parent that their child had just died. Brenny Funeral home also helped by picking up the 'deceased' student at the 'crash site' and explaining their role in the funeral preparation process. These demonstrations have been shown to make a positive impact on the student's choice to not drink and drive. Officer Josh Gartner did an excellent job of being in charge of coordinating all of the aspects of this demonstration.
