PAUL, MINNESOTA 55102 <br />TELEPHONE: (612) 298·4451 <br />TELEFACSIMILE: (612) 292·7398 <br /> <br />Mr. Donald Jensen, APA <br />Land Development Manager <br />Rottlund Homes <br />5201 East River Road #301 <br />Fridley, MN 55421 <br /> <br />December 31, 1992 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Jensen: <br /> <br />This letter is in response to your request for crime statistics <br />relating to your company's Willshire Ponds Villas development. The <br />Ramsey County Sheriff's Department provides law enforcement <br />services for the city of Shoreview, where willshire Ponds is <br />located. r have queried our records for incidents which occurred <br />between June 1, 1992 and December 29, 1992, at willshire Ponds and <br />adjacent areas. During that time period one call for service, a <br />suspicious person/vehicle/ incident call, came from a Willshire <br />Ponds address. Two calls for service, one domestic and one <br />suspicious person/vehicle/incident, came from a medium density <br />housing development adjacent to Willshire Ponds. These calls for <br />law enforcement service are not unusual and do not show any kind of <br />crime trend. Citizens of the city of Shoreview are encouraged to <br />call and report any suspicious activity; the Sheriff/s Department <br />responds to all calls for service and investigates each matter as <br />far as possible. <br /> <br />Some months ago the Pioneer Press Dispatch printed an article <br />concerning crime statistics in metropolitan suburbs; the article <br />showed the city of Shoreview as having the lowest crime rate per <br />capita in their comparison. crime statistics for eleven months of <br />1992, show that the city of Shoreview is experiencing a 12 percent <br />decrease in overall crime as compared to the same period in 1991. <br />Population density by itself does not always influence crime rates. <br />Many socioeconomic factors are to be considered along with <br />population density. The statistics for the city of Shoreview do <br />not show .that willshire Ponds, or medium density housing <br />developments, produce or increase crime. <br /> <br />ADULT DETENTION DIVISION (612) 292-6050 <br /> <br />S~ðO <br /> <br />PATROL DIVISION (612) 484-3366 <br />
