Our depa11ment <br />joined nine other agencies from Anoka Q)unty who were awarded a graut tbr a total <br />ofS60,OOO tbr the three years. <br /> <br />Many of the scheduled dates of entbrcement were p1mmed around the holidays. <br />During the en1brcement periods our officers were required to tbcus on five areas of <br />concem which were spearheaded by the Safe and Sober initiative. Those areas were: <br /> <br />. Impaired driving <br />. Speed <br />. Seatbelt en1brcemettt <br /> <br />The overtime shifts were tbur hours in length. The start times of the shift would <br />depend on which area of concern was targeted. Officers working a seatbelt <br />enforcement shift would. normally work during high traffic times of the day. An <br />offi.cer working an impaired driving enibrcement shift would usually start at 11:00 <br />p.m. and work until 3:00 am. <br /> <br />In 2006, ~dficers worked a total of 110 Safe and Sober bows. Ofticers made 246 <br />traffic stops during thOse 27 shifts. We recorded over 60 citations and issued in <br />excess of 180 traffic warnings. During the May Mobilization seatbeIt IlItwatIon, <br />officers tallied 342 citations over the two week period, which was the sixth higheat <br />total in the entire state. <br /> <br />In 2006, the ~ennial Lakes Police D~tment continued their eflDrts with the <br />Minnesota State Patrol and their Operation Nigbt Cap. ot1icers participated in <br />several overtime waves throughout the county. The waves were held in several <br />jurisdictions around Anoka Q)unty. With the success of our eftbrts, the State Patrol <br />will provide several more opportunities tbr the upcoming year. <br /> <br />WJ.th the statistics showu, our officers once again did a tremendous job enforcing the <br />sam and Sober and Operation Night Cap initiatives. These efJbrts show how <br />i&uportant traffic safety is to our COIII.llllttities. <br /> <br />30 <br /> <br />.._ - '_'''_____ 0- ___" <br />
