MessaRe from the Ch " <br /> It is my honor to present our 2014 Annual <br /> ---- Report/2015 Management Plan. While it is my <br /> .�: privilege to author this introductory page, the <br /> credit for the content of this document really <br /> a. � belongs to the men and women who comprise the <br /> Centennial Lakes Police Department. <br /> A low crime rate, public confidence in our ability <br /> and integrity, sound policing operations, policies <br /> and practices in accord with national standards, <br /> and quality personnel at all levels of the <br /> r <br /> organization are just a few of our noteworthy <br /> accomplishments. In addition, last year we <br /> solved several significant criminal cases and our <br /> officers maintained their poise and <br /> Chief James Coan professionalism during some very volatile and <br /> potentially dangerous incidents. <br /> Much of our success is a reflection of how we are staffed, trained, and managed. Our philosophy <br /> of policing and our adherence to certain fundamentals of organizational development have been <br /> additional keys to our success, i.e. if you hire the right people, provide them with the right <br /> training, right equipment, right policies, and the right leadership; then the right things are going <br /> to happen. <br /> In the year ahead we will further our professional growth and development; adhere to the <br /> fundamentals of policing and organizational management; maintain close partnerships with our <br /> citizens, our schools, and with other local law enforcement agencies; and we will continue to <br /> render the same high level of safety service that our citizens have come to expect. We will strive <br /> for excellence and continue to work hard to ensure the safety and stability of the Cities of <br /> Lexington, Circle Pines, and Centerville. <br /> None of what we accomplish could be achieved without the dedication and effort put forth by <br /> everyone in our Department. It is my opinion that our greatest strength is the quality and caliber <br /> of our personnel. As individuals and as a law enforcement agency we have the capacity to meet <br /> virtually any challenge. <br /> In conclusion, I wish to thank all of our personnel, our Governing Board, Mayors, City <br /> Administrators, and our citizens for their continued support and cooperation. I believe that the <br /> future of the Centennial Lakes Police Department remains very bright and that together we stand <br /> ready to meet the challenges of a new year. <br /> Jam coavv <br /> Chief of Police <br /> �' �fE17f?fRI.CA�ICS Pofce 196parhmnt 12014 ANNUAL REPORT <br />
