2008 RamseyCounty Sheriff Annual Review <br /> 1. What do you think went well in 2008? (List significant accomplishments, <br /> planned and unplanned.) <br /> • Patrol division leadership continues to be very responsive to inquiries and <br /> service requests. LC, WBT <br /> • Improvements in general visibility have been noted. LC <br /> • Continued Responsiveness to Traffic Concerns. LC, VH, WBT <br /> • Implementation of motorcycle traffic patrol provides a less conspicuous <br /> means of enforcement. LC, WBT <br /> • VIPS & the Reserve Program continue to be tremendous assets to our <br /> Y <br /> Cit in addressing special projects and community events. LC <br /> • Winter No Parking enforcement seems to be better. LC <br /> • Republican National Convention seemed to be well handled with minimal <br /> g <br /> impact to on-going performance in the contracting jurisdictions. LC, VH, <br /> p g <br /> WBT <br /> • Gas Drive Off was an excellent idea and a great service to <br /> program <br /> businesses. It also should impact other crime areas given that "bad guys" <br /> are likely participants in drive-offs. LC, VH. <br /> • Staffing substation in Heritage Hall (GL/WBT) has improved image and <br /> presence in east part of contract community patrol area. WBT, GL <br /> • Crime levels in Arden Hills remained low. AH <br /> • Sheriff's willingness to consider a "trial officer" for multi-family properties in <br /> Little Canada in lieu of formula modifications to provide us with the <br /> opportunity to get a handle on activity at some of our apartment <br /> pp Y <br /> complexes. LC <br /> • Mobile Home Park Crime Prevention program was another good idea to <br /> get a handle on problem areas. LC <br /> • Excellent assistance by RCSD in dealing with administrative warrant at <br /> 811 Carla Lane and helping to get control of a problem property. LC <br /> • The City appreciated the Sheriff's Department support and partnerships <br /> with the VHFD's CERT Members training. VH <br /> • The arson investigation on the City's pavilion at Community Park, <br /> especially the efforts of Ronda McArdle was outstanding in gaining a <br /> conviction and putting closure to this matter in quick order. VH <br /> 2. What concerns do you have with the performance of the RCSD in 2008? <br /> What would you like to have accomplished but didn't, and why? <br /> • Look for opportunities for productivity and reduction of cost per unit <br /> service. I am not sure that we identified any such examples or took the <br /> necessary actions to achieve them. AH <br />
