She stated she did not want the City telling Roseville they <br />needed to look at their policies. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson noted the recent accident which occurred in Arden Hills which killed an <br />innocent person was a Roseville pursuit which ended in Arden Hills and therefore, he believed <br />Arden Hills had a right to ask Roseville to look at their pursuit policies ifthere was a possibility <br />of a pursuit coming into Arden Hills. <br /> <br />Sberiff Fletcher stated he had a good relationship with the Police Chief in Roseville and would <br />relay the Council's concerns, as well as give her a copy of the Sheriffs Department policy for <br />review. <br /> <br />5.
