Our lrondale High <br />School Resource Officer Kim Boyd and our Graffiti Specialist, Matt DeBoer, who works in our patrol division, rec'd <br />an award in 2000 for their work in solving graffiti cases near lrondale High School. They won the "2000 Crime <br />Prevention Team of the Year" for their efforts. Graffiti has been significantly reduced since then, There response <br />includes the rapid removal of graffiti, logging and photographing graffiti for future use and identification and <br />prosecution of suspects, use of information from students in identifying suspects(need a good SRO), and <br />aggressive patrol techniques to include surveillance and multiple traffic stops in the affected areas at night <br />During the last two years we've used our VIPS group frequently to monitor graffiti "hot spots" using night vision <br />equipment However, since we've had relatively few incidents of vandalism/graffiti in the last few months in the <br />City, our VIPS have not spent much time doing this recently, mostly because they've become "bored" with lack of <br />graffiti activity. <br /> <br />I will have our support staff run the records on vandalism incidents from the neighborhood near Irondale for 2003. <br />However, keep in mind, the "neighborhood" would include a several square block area. I'll let you know when I <br />get the stats. <br /> <br />Director Bob Jacobson <br />New Brighton Department of Public Safety <br />785 Old Hwy 8 NW <br />New Brighton, MN 55112 <br />651-288-4101 (direct) <br />651-288-4110(fax) <br />651-775-1883(Cell) <br /> <br />-----Original Message----- <br />From: michelle. wo Ife@ci.arden-hills,mn,us [mailto: m ichelle. wolfe@cLarden-hills,mn.us] <br />Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 20049:31 AM <br />To: Bob Jacobson <br />Subject: Another question <br /> <br />Do you track the number of complaints you get about vandalism and/or graffiti in the neighborhood(s) <br />around lrondale HS? If so, the Council is interested in information about that topic. Number of <br />complaints, how they are handled/resolved. <br /> <br />Michelle Wolfe, City Administrator <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Phone: 651-634-5127 Fax: 651-634-5137 <br />www.ci.aXden.hills.mn.us <br /> <br />2113/2004 <br />
