I would like to <br />highlight the Reserves that have made this program a success. Reserve Officer Karen <br />Miller has been a pillar of the Reserve Unit. Reserve Officer Miller has put in <br />countless bours assisting the police officers of our department aod always has a <br />positive attitude wbile carrying out the duties of a reserve officer. Due to her great <br />orpni7Ation and leadership, we have a successful reserve unit. Reserve Officer Bill <br />Jacobson has also put countless bours into serviDg his community aod the department. <br />Reserve Officer Jacobson was recently hired as a police officer with this department <br />and is a great addition to 0lU'depu1ment. Reserve Officer Aron Sandmar4p has been a <br />long-time resident of Circle Pines and bas taken an interest in serving the community <br />he lives in; he was hired as a police officer with this department shortly after he <br />started training with our reserve program. He, too, is a great addition to the <br />department. Reserve Officer MoDique Sahlstrom bas always been 'just a phone call <br />away" from assisting any of our officers. She enjoys riding along with and assisting <br />all of the officers and staff of this department. <br /> <br />I have asked Officer Matthew Langreck to assist me with the running of the reserve <br />program this year. Officer Langreck is a great addition to the program and bas <br />brought with him new ideas for training and operating the unit. <br /> <br />Our focus over the last year was to train reserve officers to better serve the police <br />officers and the residents of this community. To do this, I have asked each reserve <br />officer to commit one night a month for training. Each meeting we hold bas a <br />selected topic. Officers from the department teach the classes, that way each officer <br />has a chance to share their specialty with the reserves. <br /> <br />The Reserve Unit has contributed a total of 798 hours to the department in the <br />following areas: <br /> <br />Reserve activities: <br /> <br />. Ride alongs with pa1rol officers <br />· Inventorying of vehicles, securing crime scenes, assisting officers in day-to- <br />day activities <br />. Patrol of neighborhoods and parks <br />. Checking homes and businesses <br />. Assisting with Patrol Officer candidate interviews <br /> <br />_ .. __:~__ _... A_ n.....t:__ ~___~__... _....-.a.:__ <br />
