Suburban policing is predominantly service oriented, and the department prides itself on the quality and variety of services it provides. We are, almost always, the first arriving responder on medical incidents. We open doors for those locked out of their vehicles at no charge. Nor do we charge for false alarms. Our officers take pride in their relationships with the communities they serve and regularly "embed" themselves in the communities. They are known on both a professional and personal level. The department embraces both the community and problem oriented approaches to policing. Stakeholders actively participate in the direction of targeted police services which improves end user satisfaction and results in the reduction if not prevention of crime. Our officers are assigned to specific communities and/or geographic areas to address their specific needs in advance of problems. For example, officers attend board, periodic and annual meetings of multiple townhome and condominium associations, are designated as "liaisons" to Golden Lake Elementary School and the Centennial Area Learning Center, work with the Rice Creek Trail Association to enhance snowmobile operator safety and minimize resident complaints,work with neighborhood groups to enforce quality of life and other property-value maintaining ordinances against non-compliant properties, and address issues of particular relevance to our senior citizen residences. Circle Pines is a safe community where citizen needs and police services delivered are interactive and symbiotic. The relationship between the citizens and the police is a strong one and pride abounds. The department and I are both committed to enhancing this relationship and welcome your suggestions and participation. Thank you.
