Officers responded to and generated 477 calls for service in the City of Oak Park Heights during this month. Quick breakdown for some of those calls for service include: 102 medicals, 1 fire related, 14 theft from businesses, 11 vehicle accidents, 16 alarms, 4 disturbance/disorderly conducts, 71 traffic violations, 19 suspicious persons/vehicles. With summer in full swing this past month we have been active with getting our speed trailer deployed to various parts of the city and also had officers participate in a speed saturation detail on hwy 36 / hwy 95 focusing on the w/b traffic from the new bridge area. 51 traffic stops conducted in 4 hrs with several speed violations over 80 mph and one DWI. This was a grant funded operation with other agencies and we received positive feedback from the state grant funding coordinator. He requested to come out next time we have a detail on the bridge again. I met with Sheriff Starry this past month discussing current ideas and concepts involving the next layer of the crisis response unit. The Police Chiefs throughout Washington County and the metro are exploring possible next steps of having embedded social workers within law enforcement agencies to assist with persons in crisis or persons in need of immediate social services assistance. As you can imagine there is a lot more framing of this concept and questions yet to be answered as to how this should work and if it is even financially feasable. This is at the very early stage of discussions for us, and we would definitively look at this from a collaborative effort with other nearby agencies included on any cost sharing venture. I Attended another neighborhood construction meeting on Lookout Trail, no residence in attendance and on-site supervisor from Stan-tec advising of no traffic concerns or persons trespassing on equipment. The fourth of July weekend was pretty quiet and we only had 8 fireworks complaints for the entire month. Stillwater Bowl had their annual music concert in the back parking lot again. There was a large crowd of atleast 1600-2000 persons that attended. Two OPHPD officers were assigned to thscaycnt and were paid for by the organizer.
