i Pequot Lakes Police Dept. Report to the City Council August 31, 2006 The month of August has continued to be very busy like July, with the Department completing more than 400 ICRs, which is more than double our average. Activities: The Reserves have added another officer, bringing their total to 7. These include: Craig and Julie Friday, Chris Melberg, Elise Savage, Carl Borleis, Randy Ryan and now Tim Leagjeld. For the month of August, The Reserves, Part time and Full time Officers recorded 397 separate business security checks. Several Reserves helped with the Jenkins street dance on Aug 26th, providing crowd control and assistance. Both part time officers worked as well, as Chief Braam and Officer Gartner were running a State Safe and Sober Campaign. With the additional Police presence the dance was a great success, as well as a safe event. 21 vehicles were left overnight in the parking lots of Jenkins because the drivers got a ride home with a sober party, instead of getting behind the wheel. The Safe and Sober shifts had 30 vehicle stops, with only 1 resulting in a driver being arrested for DWI. Officer Hogan was able to assist the City of Breezy Point with their 1St annual City Community Day festival using the dept motorcycle. The City of Jenkins joined the City of Pequot Lakes on August 3`d, with the implementation of Administrative Offenses tickets.
