After leaving National Night Out in 2008, the focus returned to neighborhood events. After a slow start the City had 10 neighborhoods sponsor events and all went great! The goal for 2010 will be to double our participation. Officer Urmann has already begun taking names and was very pleased with the turn out at the events. Officer's answered many questions about the state of crime in the City. Representative Rick Hansen and several MH City Council members made the rounds and answered questions about where the City and State were headed. Thanks to everyone who participated. Theft from Vehicle 07-24-09 1846 hours Victim reported that she parked her car in the parking lot to the Big River's Trail around 1400 hours and when she returned she was missing a window to her car and her purse. Officer Shepard noted the purse was in plain sight on the floor and there was no evidence on scene. Case referred to investigations. Theft 07-29-09 1719 hours Officers Lambert, Petersen, Shepard and Fordham worked on a theft from residence. Several young adults, all close friends, reported arriving at a residence in MH around 0100 hours. About an hour later, 8-10 acquaintances arrived and hung out for a munip- of hntjr.q- (The Barents were at the lake.) When the close friends awoke, they began to notice things were missing. As the Officers began looking into the case, items began to reappear; unfortunately the young people have not been terribly forthright with information. The case is still active. Crash 07-30-09 1817 hours Sgt John Larrive arrived on the scene of a two vehicle crash. During the investigation one of the party's began to become more and more incoherent. A MSP Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) was called to the scene and it was determined the man had just received a new prescription from VA Medical Center that was 8/7/2009 causing an adverse reaction. He was cited, the vehicle was towed and he was transported back to the VA Medical Center for immediate attention. Welfare Check 08-03-09 2124 hours Officer Tanner Spicer met a young lady in the lobby of MHPD who told him she was concerned the ex-boyfriend may kill himself. She reported they ended their relationship a few weeks earlier and when she saw him today he asked her to marry him. When she said, "No" and he took a kitchen knife, out threatening to kill himself. She reported that his family was notified but they didn't seem too concerned. Officer's agreed to check on the young man. He was nowhere to be found. A KOPS alert was sent out to the appropriate jurisdictions. A few hours later the man was located at home, sleeping. He reported there were no problems and his roommate also reported the same. Alerts cancelled and everyone cleared. Domestic Assault 08-04-09 2315 hours Officer were dispatched to a residence on a drug deal gone bad or a disturbance call with the male half in the front yard smashing beer bottles against the house. As more of the neighbors called in, it became apparent the disturbance was between the boyfriend and girlfriend who resided at the house. When Officers arrived, the girlfriend was not very cooperative and all of the participants were under the influence. It was clear from the evidence on scene that the female had been assaulted. The male was taken into custody when he attempted to fight his was out of his predicament. Officers Spicer, Fleming, Urmann and Convery ensured he was arrested without incident. Felony Warrant Arrest 08-05-09 0153 hours A vehicle registration check showed a 100% score on a felony warrant out of Hennepin County for the registered owner of the vehicle. Officers Spicer and Urmann initiated a felony traffic stop moments later and took the suspect into custody without incident. He complained that he was not the guy they were looking for. Moments later the DCC dispatcher advised that Anoka County also had a warrant for the young man. The second warrant went so far as to describe the man's tattoo. He was transported to jail (who would also be able to confirm his identity) and cited for having an expired license. DAR 08-05-09 2317 hours Upon leaving Holiday gas station, a 20 YOA male driver thought it would be entertaining to squeal his tires and drive into on -coming traffic.

He was cited for a few offenses and released at the scene. DAR 08-06-09 0019 hours Minutes later, while on patrol Officer Urmann ran an in -squad computer check on the license plate of the vehicle in front of her on Hwy 13. The check showed the R/O to be revoked. The car was stopped and before she could even confirm the driver was the R/O he informed her that he did not have a license. The man also advised that he did not have insurance. He was cited and released at the scene his car was impounded.

Topic: Improving Home Security House numbers on our homes are important. They can save police officers, fire fighters and paramedics valuable time. House numbers are especially important if you live where there is an alley. Police officers and fire fighters will often times respond in the alley, as access is sometimes better. Landscaping Fences: Privacy vs. chain link. Burglars prey on privacy. Fences that allow activity to be seen in your yard are preferable to "privacy" fences. Tress and shrubbery: Should be trimmed 6 -inches below windows and at least 3 -feet away from doors. Shrubbery such as rose bushes or other thorny varieties serve as a good deterrent to window peepers. Landscape rock: Large landscape rock (golf ball size or larger) can be used to damage your property. Small landscape rock (smaller than golf ball size) is both decorative and, if someone walks on them, a person will be easily heard. Locks /Strike Plates Deadbolt locks: The deadbolt lock has a bolt that must be activated by a key or thumb turn. It offers good security because it is not spring activated and cannot be opened with a credit card. A single cylinder deadbolt is activated with a key on the exterior side of the door and a thumb turn piece on the interior side. Install this lock where there is no breakable glass within 40 -inches of the thumb turn piece. (Otherwise a burglar can break the glass, reach inside and turn the thumb p -i e tr %, e. N) A double cylinder deadbolt is key activated on both sides on the door. It should be installed where there is glass within 40 -inches of the lock. Double cylinder deadbolt locks can hinder escape from a burning home so always leave a key in or near the lock when someone is home. (Double cylinder deadbolt locks are only permitted in existing single-family homes, town homes and first floor duplexes used exclusively as residential dwellings. Both single and double cylinder deadbolt locks should meet these criteria to be a good security device: ,es The bolt must extend a minimum of 1 -inch and be made of case hardened steel. ,e5 The cylinder guard must be tapered, round and free spinning to make it difficult to grip with a pliers or wrench. It must be solid metal— not hollow casting or stamped metal. There should be at least a five -pin tumbler system or equivalent locking device. ,K The connecting screws that hold the lock together must be on the inside and made of case hardened steel. No exposed screw heads should be on the outside. .�K The connecting screws must be at least one-fourth inch in diameter and go into solid metal stock, not screw posts. A heavy duty strike plate helps strengthen door frames better than a regular strike plate. (A strike plate is the jamb fastening that receives the deadbolt in the locking position.) The heavy duty plate uses four to six, three-inch screws, not two, three -fourth inch screws used in regular plates. The longer screws go through the frame into the jamb making it harder for someone to split the frame when kicking the door. A heavy duty strike plate will strengthen the doorjamb and reinforce the lock. Auxiliary locks: Pin your windows or add an auxiliary lock to your double hung windows. This type of mechanism will allow you to secure your window when you open it (5 -inches or less) for ventilation. Newer windows have higher quality locks while older double hung windows are easily jimmied or pried open. Double hung windows can be secured by taking these simple, inexpensive precautions: ,es Drill a hole at a downward angle through the first sash and into but not through the second sash. Then pin window by driving a nail into the hole. Pinning braces the window against prying. More holes can be drilled to pin the window open for ventilation. Keyed locks offering effective protection are available for windows. These inexpensive, easy - to -install locks should replace thumb turn locks that offer little security. Master key all window locks and show children how to use them. Do not use keyed locks on windows in sleeping areas. Lighting Motion detector lights are very effective in deterring crime. They also light up your driveway or entry doors when you are leaving or coming home. Dusk to dawn lighting is a strong deterrent against criminal activity, and it constantly lights up your entry doors and possible obstacles that would otherwise be unseen. Landscape lighting is low voltage lighting that can highlight your property line, light up your sidewalk and also light up the exterior of your windows — making your home a less attractive target to night time burglars. Interior lighting using light timers makes a home look occupied. Good lights to leave on are bedroom and/or bathroom lights. Radios and televisions are also good items to have on timers. If a radio playing a talk station is heard from the outside of a home, it gives the appearance that a conversation is being carried on and someone is home. The perception of someone being home greatly reduces the possibility of a burglary. Topic: Apartment / Condo Safety There are criminals that prey upon apartment complexes and condominium units: • They know that many females and senior citizens live in these complexes • Most persons who are arrested for crimes against property are males between 18 —21 years old • They frequently live nearby their target areas and are familiar with the neighborhood • They work the area on foot most frequently • They may have lived in the complex or have a friend that lives in the complex What to do to protect yourself: • Keep your doors locked at all times • Keep you car keys and apartment/condo keys separate when giving car keys to valet parking or a service attendant • Don't allow strangers in a secure building at any time • When driving into an underground parking unit, stop at the entrance to make sure the door closes before proceeding to park your car — call 911 or security, if someone tries to sneak in • Get to know your neighbors and the management well — organize a Neighborhood Crime Watch by contacting local law enforcement • Report any lighting that is not working in the hallways, stairwells, and garage/parking areas • If trees or shrubs are near the doors or walkways block your vision of the area, ask the management to prune them for clear vision • When getting on an elevator always stand by the floor buttons to exit immediately if you have to • Never get on an elevator if you feel uncomfortable or have strange feeling about someone already on the elevator L 0 V° Z o c ai _c +� T .� C O N 0 C C ca Um ?
