Chief James R. Coan <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />It is my honor to present our 2019 Annual Report. While it is my <br /> <br /> <br />privilege to author this introductory page, the credit for the <br />content of this document really belongs to the dedicated men <br /> <br />and women who comprise the Centennial Lakes Police <br /> <br />Department. <br /> <br />A low crime rate, public confidence in our ability and integrity, <br />sound policing operations, policies and practices in accord with <br /> <br />national standards, and quality personnel at all levels of the <br /> <br />organization are just a few of our noteworthy accomplishments. <br /> <br />Much of our success is a reflection of how we are staffed, trained, <br />and managed. Our philosophy of policing and our adherence to <br /> <br />certain fundamentals of organizational development have been <br /> <br />additional keys to our success, i.e. if you hire the right people; <br />provide them with the right training, right equipment, the right <br /> <br />policies, and the right leadership; then the right things will <br /> <br />happen. <br />Chief James Coan <br /> <br /> <br />In the year ahead, we will further our professional growth and <br />development; adhere to the fundamentals of policing and <br /> <br />organizational management; maintain close partnerships with <br /> <br />our citizens, our schools, and with other local law enforcement <br />agencies; and we will continue to render the same high level of <br /> <br />safety service that our citizens have come to expect. We will <br /> <br />strive for excellence and continue to work hard to ensure the <br />safety and stability of the Cities of Circle Pines, Lexington, and <br /> <br />Centerville. <br /> <br /> <br />None of what we accomplish could be achieved without the <br /> <br />dedication and effort put forth by so many in our Department. <br />As individuals and as a law enforcement agency we have the <br /> <br />capacity to meet virtually any challenge. <br /> <br />In conclusion, I wish to thank all of our personnel, our Governing <br /> <br />Board, Mayors, City Administrators, and our citizens for their <br />continued support and cooperation. I believe that the future of <br /> <br />the Centennial Lakes Police Department remains very bright and <br /> <br />that together we stand ready to meet the challenges of a new <br /> <br />year. <br /> <br /> <br />Chief of Police <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br />
