AYE AND SCE BE R- / D VI TASK FOR-CE <br />Sergeant Pat Aldrich <br />During the year 2009, the Centennial Lakes Police Department continued <br />efforts with Minnesota Safe and Sober and the Anoka County DWI Task <br />Force. <br />Safe and Sober <br />We participated in two seatbelt waves. The saturations took place in May <br />and in October. We were allotte 8 shifts in May and 12 shifts in October. <br />The shifts were four hours in length. In May, officers provided concentrated <br />traffic enforcement in our three cities. In October, the shifts were split into <br />two different styles of saturations. During half of the shifts, officers <br />remained in our jurisdiction. The other half of the shifts entailed an officer <br />working in one selected area of the County. <br />In 2009, officers worked a total of 81 Safe and Sober hours. We made 225 <br />stops during those 20 shifts. We recorded 145 citations and arrested 3 for <br />DWI (Driving While Intoxicated). Officers also issued in excess of 100 <br />traffic warnings. <br />Anoka Countv DWI Task Force <br />Officers in Anoka County worked 566 shifts during 2009. The shifts usually <br />started at 8:00 p.m. and officers worked until 4:00 a.m. Officers stopped <br />7,780 vehicles, made 431 DWI arrests, issued 1,939 citations and arrested <br />589 people for other offenses. <br />With the statistics shown, our officers once again did a tremendous job <br />enforcing the Safe and Sober and DWI Task Force initiatives. With the <br />continued motivation, along with the enthusiasm of officers, our efforts <br />show how important traffic safety is to our communities. <br />C rol <br />65 <br />
