MEETING DATE: March 17, 2003
AGENDA #: 8A
PREPARED BY: BILL O'ROURKE, CHIEF OF POLICE
AGENDA ITEM: SAFE & SOBER AWARD PRESENTATION TO THE
PRIOR LAKE POLICE DEPARTMENT
DISCUSSION: History: Last fall the Council approved a resolution
authorizing Safe & Sober Communities funding for the
period October 1, 2002 to September 30, 2003. This
funding puts patrol officers on the street during designated
enforcement periods. The Prior Lake Police Department
works in unison with the Savage Police Department and
identifies target areas of enforcement. Through the use of
the grant money, the Departments are able to participate in
the enforcement campaigns while still maintaining regular
patrol functions. Funding is provided through the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
As an incentive to get as many departments as possible
signed up for the mobilization periods, Safe & Sober offers
door prizes. Prior Lake was drawn to receive a Lidar (a
speed detection device). Bob O'Brien, the metro area
coordinator for Safe & Sober is here this evening to present
the Lidar.
