In the city of Lexington, Lexington Memorial Park rests just beyond the reaches of the Parkview <br /> Mobile Home Community. Lexington Memorial Park is the city's hub for the area's Little <br /> Leaguers during the summer baseball season. During the season, a number of tournaments, <br /> games, and gatherings take place on any one or all five (5) of the ball fields throughout the park. <br /> And to provide entertainment for the kids not playing any sports or to provide daycare <br /> entertainment and relief during "field trips" throughout the year,there's a playground area in the <br /> center of the park. There's year-round recreation available at the park for citizens to enjoy and <br /> relax with family, friends and neighbors. <br /> +t1. gat <br /> ------------------ <br /> 'b g <br /> Centennial Lakes Police Department has been the city's local law enforcement since 1954, when <br /> Joseph Matzke became the first Lexington Police Officer. The first Joint Powers Agreement <br /> between cities occurred in 1975 when Circle Pines Police Department and Lexington Police <br /> Department joined forces and was governed by a commission rather than city council(s). On <br /> January 1St, 2000, the three cities of Centerville, Circle Pines, and Lexington joined together to <br /> form the newly established Centennial Lakes Police Department which serves as one of the <br /> state's rare joint law enforcement agencies (facts from the department's history section at <br /> http://www.centenniallakespd.govoffice2.com/). <br /> Since that time, the department and its officers have worked hard to provide the most effective <br /> and efficient police services applying the tools of both Community Oriented Policing (C.O.P.) <br /> and Problem Oriented Policing (P.O.P) to work alongside the community to solve neighborhood <br /> issues and crimes, and to integrate local law enforcement into the communities they serve. This <br /> concept of C.O.P. and P.O.P. allows the Centennial Lakes Police Department to proactively <br /> approach a variety of events, incidents, and situations, and establishes working relationships with <br /> citizens and businesses that have been an integral part of such a close community. <br /> ce"fe""Ifi(AAf4p1'POf10E a�Plat menf 12014 ANNUAL REPORT <br />
