Inside <br />Election Results <br />Scannell Properties Development <br />Snowplowing and Ice Rinks <br />City Council Benchmarks <br />Crime Prevention Tips <br />Deputy Mike Servatka, <br />Crime Prevention Specialist <br />The Ramsey County Sheriff’s <br />Office provides police services <br />to Arden Hills, including Crime <br />Prevention. Deputy Mike Servatka, <br />a twenty-three-year veteran of the <br />Sheriff’s Office, is the City’s Crime <br />Prevention Specialist. Deputy <br />Servatka had the following to tell <br />Arden Hills’ Residents on Crime <br />Prevention: <br />“During my career as a peace <br />officer I have been able to serve <br />in a variety of duties including <br />street patrol, court security, the jail, <br />investigation task forces, and water <br />patrol. In Crime Prevention we <br />view crime as a three-legged stool. <br />One leg is the Desire of a criminal to <br />commit a crime; leg two is a Target <br />of the criminal’s desire; and third is <br />the Opportunity for the crime to be <br />committed. It’s difficult for crime to <br />sit on the stool unless all three legs are <br />present. <br />The increased number of thefts from <br />vehicles we have experienced this <br />summer has caused grief for the <br />victims and is unsettling for everyone <br />else in the neighborhood. Taking a few <br />precautions can help prevent becoming <br />a victim; these include not leaving <br />valuables in cars, locking doors and <br />parking in well-lit areas. <br />Our Crime Prevention programming <br />includes Neighborhood Watch, <br />which is an association of neighbors <br />who communicate with each other, <br />deputies, and the community. When <br />neighbors know each other’s names, <br />normal patterns, and look out for <br />each other, it is more likely that they <br />will report activity that doesn’t seem <br />quite right. Neighborhood Watch <br />encourages neighbors to look out for <br />each other. Contact the Sheriff if your <br />neighborhood is interested. <br />Currently, we are seeing scams to <br />steal people’s money and identities via <br />phone, email, text and pop-ups. Mail <br />and package thefts are increasing and <br />are likely to be more of a problem as <br />online shopping increases heading into <br />the holidays. <br />Theft prevention includes depositing <br />outgoing mail only into official USPS <br />drop boxes and collecting incoming <br />mail as soon as possible. For your <br />packages; ask a trusted neighbor to <br />watch for and retrieve your package <br />when delivered; place a storage <br />container on your stoop for packages <br />so they cannot be readily seen from <br />the street; or have packages delivered <br />to your work or business address if <br />possible. <br />I and my fellow deputies are here to <br />help the community of Arden Hills be <br />a great place to live, work and raise <br />a family. Give us a call anytime you <br />think we can help – just call 9-1-1.” <br />For more crime prevention tips please <br />visit the Sheriff’s website: <br />https://www.ramseycounty.us/ <br />your-government/leadership/ <br />sheriffs-office/sheriffs-office-divisions/ <br />public-safety-services-11 <br />Arden Hills, MN . 55112-5734
