I <br /> Pequot Lakes Police Dept. <br /> Report to the City Council <br /> November 28, 2007 <br /> As of this morning, for the month of November the Department has logged 408 individual ICRs. <br /> Current Activities: <br /> The Reserves, Part time and Full time Officers conducted 447 individual business and home security <br /> checks throughout the month, with only 1 open door found. <br /> Starting in December Reserve Officers will start to assist with crowd control during the PLHS home <br /> basketball games for the season. As of the 27th the Reserve Unit is now back up to having 10 Officers, <br /> after a couple had had to resign because of changes in their employment. In December all of the <br /> Reserve Officers will be attending CPR / AED training here at the PD in preparation for the new AED <br /> the Dept will have available for when the reserves are on patrol. The new AED is made possible by the <br /> grant accepted at the November Council Meeting. <br /> The Department sold a forfeited vehicle for the first time on the State Surplus website auction, along <br /> with a mower for the Road Dept. Both sales were a great success, with both the vehicle and the mower <br /> selling for a higher price than we anticipated. We will most likely use this service for other sales in the <br /> future. <br /> Training: <br /> Nov. 22"d: Officer Gartner provided re-certification training for Officers Hogan and Nangle, as they <br /> were unavailable previously when the rest of the department went through the training. <br /> Significant Cases: <br /> On November 21St all law enforcement departments in Crow Wing County participated in a Night CAP <br /> operation through safe and sober on the HWY 371 corridor. 9 officers participated in the program that <br /> stopped 137 vehicles, which resulted in 2 DWI arrests, 3 DAS arrests, 1 warrant and 3 tickets issued for <br /> no insurance; 2 speed citations and 45 warnings; 1 seatbelt citation and 63 equipment violation <br /> warnings; 2 miscellaneous citations and 35 warnings for miscellaneous traffic violations. Officer <br /> Gartner represented Pequot Lakes Police Dept. and had 15 traffic stops and 1 of the 2 DWI arrests. <br /> On November 27th, SRO Officers Petersen investigated a suspicious activity tip, which resulted in the <br /> issuance of a citation to a Pequot Lakes School District teacher for possession of a small amount of <br /> marijuana and drug paraphernalia. <br /> Respectfully Submitted, <br /> J ry Braam <br /> Chief of Police <br />
