The incident case reports listed are just a sampling of the 24 crime index categories included in the Uniform Crime
Report and selected call classifications as requested by the City Council for tracking, therefore the totals of the
selected categories will not add up to the total number of incidents shown on the last line above.
The police department has been using the LETG Record Management system for over a year now and comparisons
year to year are now reported in the same system, so the comparisons should be vastly similar given the information
is gathered and reported in the same system for each category.
Heat maps as requested by council, are able to be provided through the new RMS system and additional crime
mapping software. Additionally, public access to crime maps was rolled out in June of 2017. Links to the crime maps
are provided on the police department webpage and at www.communitycrimemap.com
Calls for service for the month of February were up over February of last year. Officers were kept
busy at the beginning of the month with Super Bowl related activities. The department provided
approximately 500 additional hours of police service during the four days leading up to the Super
5E
Bowl. About 100 of those hours were from officers from outside of Prior Lake contracted to assist
in filling the need. Overall the events ran smooth and there were very few problems reported.
The police department also coordinated and ran the Polar Plunge on Prior Lake on February 17th.
The event ran smoothly with assistance from other Scott County law enforcement agencies, as
well as Prior Lake and Mdewakanton fire departments. The event had 567 participants and
hundreds of supporters cheering them on and raised over $170,000 for Special Olympics athletes.
