Their presentations will summarize each unit’s work, key accomplishments, <br />6 and goals for the year ahead, highlighting how these partnerships enhance public safety, collaboration, <br />7 and investigative effectiveness within the community. <br />8 Rosedale Retail Unit <br />9 The Rosedale Retail Unit was established in September 2024 through a partnership between the <br />10 Roseville Police Department and Rosedale Center. The unit consists of two full-time police officers <br />11 assigned to the mall under a three-year contract, operating out of a dedicated police substation that was <br />12 built and fully funded by Rosedale Center. This collaboration represents a strong public–private <br />13 partnership designed to enhance safety within one of the region’s largest retail destinations. <br />14 Over the past year, the Rosedale Retail Unit has become an integral part of the mall’s safety strategy. <br />15 The officers have developed strong working relationships with mall management, store leaders, and <br />16 private security teams, allowing for proactive identification of retail crime trends, rapid response to <br />17 incidents, and expanded investigative follow-up. The unit has uncovered organized theft activity, <br />18 assisted in resolving ongoing property crimes, and helped deter repeat offenders. Their consistent <br />19 presence has increased the sense of safety for shoppers, employees, and the surrounding community. <br />20 In addition to enforcement activities, the unit has emphasized communication, prevention, and <br />21 collaboration. Officers routinely participate in coordination meetings with mall management and store <br />22 representatives to discuss emerging concerns and develop joint safety initiatives. The success of this <br />23 partnership underscores the value of dedicated staffing, shared responsibility, and open communication <br />24 between law enforcement and private sector partners. <br />25 The Rosedale Retail Unit remains fully funded by Rosedale Center. Looking ahead, the department and <br />26 mall management will continue to evaluate opportunities to strengthen crime prevention, expand <br />27 intelligence-sharing, and ensure the partnership continues to meet the needs of both the business <br />28 community and the public. <br />29 BCA Violent Crime Reduction Unit (VCRU) <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />Qbhf!5:!pg!74: <br /> <br />
