The Official City Newsletter for Arden Hills Residents March 2022 Public Safety Annual Reports for 2021 Lake Johanna Fire Department Annual Report The Lake Johanna Fire Department (LJFD) has issued their annual report for 2021. The LJFD serves three cities: Arden Hills, Shoreview, and North Oaks. The report outlines the department's activities and provides reporting metrics for the past year. In 2021, the LJFD responded to 1178 calls for service in Arden Hills, which was 134 calls more than the previous year. They assisted neighboring Fire Departments 32 times and received aid 14 times. In Arden Hills, LJFD had an average call response time of 5 minutes and 51 seconds compared to last year’s 6:00 minutes. Calls for service were spread evenly throughout the day, with noon-5pm leading as the busiest time for calls. Of the many reasons for calling the LJFD, emergency medical services were the most common, making up nearly 75% of calls. Less than 2% of incidents required actual fire responses. Ramsey County Sheriff's Office Annual Report The City of Arden Hills contracts with the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office (RCS) for police protection services. In addition to Arden Hills, six other cities also contract public safety services from RCS, including Falcon Heights, Little Canada, North Oaks, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, and White Bear Township. In 2021, there were 1,063 calls for service, compared to the 1,034 calls in 2020. Calls for Service are incidents responded to by deputies. Calls are often initiated by citizens via 9-1-1 or deputy initiation while on patrol. Most calls for sheriff patrols fall within the Dangerous Condition category, referring to conditions within a roadway that create hazards. This includes a number of conditions, from reckless driving to wildlife in a roadway and more. Assist Medical and Fire Agency is the second most common call with Traffic Stops following as the third. See the "Ramsey County Sheriff Calls for Service by Incident Type" pie chart above for reference.

The Arden Hills City Council extends their gratitude to the LJFD and RCS for keeping Arden Hills a safe place for residents.
