C� i= � <br />• Public Safety Co.mmittee <br />Coff,�nittee Hecommendations <br />1. The continuation of our present local Arde❑ Hills Police <br />service is recommended as a minimum service essential to <br />the welfare of our Comrriunity. <br />• The Gomnittee does not feel that renlacerrient of our local <br />police service with tne proposed patrol service to be <br />shared with five other Villages, all of which are presentl� <br />v�ithout police service, would satisfy the policin� needs <br />of Arden Hills. The p�ssib3lity of supplementing our <br />present parttirae police service with the patrol service <br />off'ered by the Sneriff wae carefully considered as being <br />desirable, but it cannot be justified, at this time� from <br />a cost standpoint. <br />The primary objective of' this service is to protect life <br />and property, and prevent law violations by developin� <br />respect for law enforcement within the Vil]a ge. This <br />objective is best attained by having a police officer <br />al�vays available e�rithin tne Village limits to pron�ptly <br />r3spond to emergency situations. I� is also nighly desir— <br />able that such an officer be well acquainted with every <br />• secti.on of the Village, its inhabitants, and its ordinances. <br />2, qs inereased police service becomes necessary in the future <br />within the �iilla�;e due to population increases, etc, <br />favorable considerati_on should be given to contracting with <br />the Sheriff�s Office or other available coordinatin�; police <br />agenc;� =or sucYi additional service rather than atten:pt to <br />establish a full time Police Department as such. <br />3. Continued close cooperation vJiL-h the Sheriff�s Office and <br />other law anforcement agencies is recommonded and stron�ly <br />encouraged. <br />4. Recomrr.end cohtinued support of' studies of ways and merzns <br />of developing an effoctive, economical, and effidient <br />coor•dinating law eqfor•cement a�ency for Famseg Count,y. <br />• <br />• <br />FLTBLIC SAF�TY COi`(�TviITTEE <br />Henry J.
