I combined the report with the Anoka County report because your citizens pay a significant amount of the dollars towards the county cost also. One of the significant items is the reduction in overall crashes in Anoka County and reduction in the number of severe injuries. The number of crashes from 2000 to 2001 was reduced by 358 crashes. The number of severe injuries was reduced by 374 from the 2000 crash statistics. This is in spite of the increased numbers of vehicles and miles driven each year. In the past ten years (2000 numbers) we have had an increase of 502,103 licensed drivers and 1,103,261 motor vehicles registered in Minnesota. The chart I left for you last week showing the reduction of severe injuries as compared to the increase in seat belt usage displays how important it is to buckle- up! The crash report showing a reduction in severe injuries in 2001 is really graphic in showing how it concerns your citizens and confirms the importance of your efforts in seat belt compliance. Thanks to the efforts of your officers and the Anoka County law enforcement agencies efforts in education and enforcement you have citizens who are alive, not injured and have cash in their pocket because they were not involved in a crash last year. Thanks for all you do and I hope that you covey our thanks to your officers for all they do. Your group always excels when we ask for help and we appreciate it more than we can say. )'11 bring a copy of the report on my letterhead for you to the chiefs meeting tomorrow.
