Dupre Artifacts Staff from Anoka County will be viewing the Dupre Artifacts on August 21, 2018 to begin formulating a plan for display of some of them at Wargo Nature Center. FETE DES LACS The committee intends to have a wrap-up meeting on August 20, 2018. PUBLIC SAFETY Anoka County Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan Public Meeting City staff will send a representative to this meeting. Centennial Fire District • All firefighters now have new 800 mhz pagers. They were received at no cost to the department, after Anoka County was awarded a grant to purchase them. • Centerville's fire station is staffed with 18 volunteers and has one new recruit in EMT classes at the moment. Centennial Lakes Police Department • Our police department attended most of the Night to Unite gatherings around town. • We have asked our officers to add extra enforcement on people speeding or not obeying stop signs as they cut through downtown to avoid the back-up at Main Street and Centerville Road, during the afternoon rush hour. • Over the course of the summer, the department has been working on a few waves of petty theft from autos. Our police believe that the rash of car entries this summer has been solved by the arrests of two teenagers, but that the case remains open as they seek a third suspect. Since the arrests, there have been no further instances or auto entries. A note from the chief: Much like we have experienced in the past and in all three of our Cities the car entries are generally "crimes of opportunity"with culprits simply trying unlocked vehicles left out at night. On the one hand it is nice that people feel safe here, but it does bring complacency in terms of residents not locking homes, garages, and vehicles. The people committing these crimes are usually young people (teenagers) who live locally or within walking distance of their crimes. 31
