After a comprehensive review of their records concerning mandated <br />employee training and department policies, I am pleased to inform you that your police <br />department passed the review. <br />Ensuring all law enforcement agencies around the state are in compliance plays a pivotal role in <br />maintaining the high level of professionalism we have enjoyed in Minnesota for many years and <br />that professionalism translates into quality law enforcement services for the citizens of <br />Minnesota. <br />Please take a moment to recognize your police department for this important accomplishment. <br />Sincerely, <br />'Sy - I -I-.--.--. <br />Erik Misselt <br />Executive Director <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br />
