OWATONNA POLICE DEPARTMENT 2005 ANNUAL REPORT _____________________________________________________________

MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF ________________________________________________________________________ April 18, 2006

City of Owatonna 540 West Hills Owatonna, MN 55060 Honorable Mayor Thomas A. Kuntz City Administrator Greg Sparks City Council Members

I am pleased to present the 2005 Annual Report of the Owatonna Police Department, as a means of communicating in retrospect a snapshot of the successes and significant areas of impact in the area of public safety services for the entire Owatonna community. The year 2005 began with a paradigm shift in all aspects or approaches as to how public safety services could best be delivered to a rapidly changing community. In an effort to focus on working smarter, we prioritized replacing, updating, and adding new equipment to the patrol function within our entire fleet of police service vehicles. In addition, we initiated new methods of communication, utilizing technology to its fullest, increased our responsiveness by implementing Action Requests and Directed Patrol Initiatives, and increased our accountability to the community by measuring and assessing our results for further improvement. Finally, we began the process of organizational restructuring and career succession planning through increased emphasis on training throughout the entire department. Throughout 2006 we will continue with change and further improvements in the delivery of public safety services. Our organizational goal is to lead the way and provide support to any entity which desires to follow as those entities become successful because of our willingness to collaborate and/or partner, then we will all be better because of it. Further, change does bring about uncertainty and stress, particularly because change and growth/demand are occurring simultaneously. However, the most significant aspect of any organization remains in its people, both sworn and civilian alike. The personnel/staff of the Owatonna Police Department deserve endless praise and acknowledgement for all that has been accomplished this past year. Finally, the future is incredibly bright for both the department and the community as we strive to provide professional, unbiased, and highest quality services for this deserving community. It is my privilege to serve as the Chief of Police for the City of Owatonna and in doing so, present this report as a reflection of this past year’s impact on our growing community. Sincerely,

Shaun E. LaDue Chief of Police

CITY HISTORY ______________________________________________________ The Mighty Oak has always been one of the most exalted of trees. Its outstretched branches give shelter and protection. Throughout time it has been considered sacred by many cultures and is said to hold the powers of health, money, healing, potency, fertility, luck, wisdom, and strength. The oak’s acorns offer renewed life, its wood is considered to be the finest of building materials and its leaves the symbol of a long life. These are all powers of the wonderful City of Owatonna – so the oak leaf has become her symbol. The Indians valued the rich mineral water bubbling from springs in Maple Creek. Legend has it that Chief Wabena heard of the curing waters called minnewaucan. His daughter, Princess Owatonna, was very frail, so Chief Wabena moved his tribe to the site of the natural springs on the banks of Maple Creek. Princess Owatonna drank from the springs daily, and soon was restored back to health by these refreshing waters. Her kindly spirit hovers near the bubbling waters and beckons weary travelers to pause in the beautiful valley and drink of the magic waters. While the legend of “Princess Owatonna” makes for a colorful and romantic story, the name of the Principle City in Steele County today more likely has its origin related to the river that flows through it. For hundreds of years before the arrival of the first white settlers, Native Americans camped on the banks of a river they called “Ouitunya,” which means straight and is today the name of the major river in Steele County. The first white inhabitants arrived shortly after the 1851 Traverse des Sioux and Mendota, by which the Dakota Indians relinquished their tribal lands in this region to the United States Government. In the summer of 1835, Abner L. Wright, claimed land located in what is now Section 5 of Medford Township. Wright and Chancey Lull erected a crude dwelling in which they endured the winter of 1853-1854. This is believed to have been the first permanent white residence in the county. Steele County is named for Franklin Steele, a prominent early settler of Minneapolis who claimed land on the east bank of St. Anthony Falls and was actively involved in the establishment of waterpower there, and in the founding of St. Anthony and Minneapolis. Steele died in Minneapolis on September 10th, 1880, having never actually lived in the county for which he is named. * Information reprinted w/ permission from the Owatonna Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism

* In 1909, Adolph Mallinger was elected as City Marshal. This was the first year that political party affiliation was listed for the candidates. Under the changes in the charter adopted at this time, Mallinger was the first listed to have the title of Chief of Police. The City Marshal position was no longer a political office voted on in the March elections. Instead, the city council appointed the Chief of Police.

2005 NOTABLE INCIDENTS ______________________________________________________ January With about a month under the new Chief of Police’s service, significant changes for the better have been and continue to be made, thereby improving morale and the operations carried out by the police department. April Officer Joel Welinski returned to full-time status with the department after 22 months of rehabilitation after being shot while on duty. Officer Welinski was shot on June 7th, 2003, when he was the first to respond to a call about a suspicious person at Sterling Drug. Welinski was shot in both the arm and the leg during a shootout with a Hollandale man. Officers responded to a report of a bomb threat at Truth Hardware; after an interior search of the building turned up nothing, workers were able to return to work without incident. May With a line of fellow police officers standing in support and stretching across the back of the council chambers, Officer Joel Welinski was presented the Medal of Valor from Police Chief Shaun LaDue at the city council meeting. In presenting the medal to Welinski, Chief LaDue noted that it is the “highest medal in Law Enforcement,” given to officers who “distinguish themselves with heroism above and beyond the call of duty.” OPD squad cars began the transition from the all-too-familiar blue and white scheme to a more traditional black and white look in an effort to increase the department’s visibility in the community. The first cars to undergo the transition and be brought into service hit the streets, newly equipped with computer technology upgrades allowing officers to file reports and check for law enforcement information from the field. It is anticipated that the new technology will improve efficiency, thereby freeing up officers to spend more time in the community. The entire fleet transition is expected to take 18 months and should be adorned in the new colors by 2007.

2005 NOTABLE INCIDENTS CONTINUED June OPD accepts a $5,000 grant at Cash Wise Foods to fund a department K-9 Unit. The grant was sponsored through a partnership between the grocery store chain and Kraft Foods as part of the Milk-Bone Canine Heroes Program, a program that has helped fund the purchase of more than 500 service dogs for departments around the country since 1998. August Officers responded to Viracon after an anonymous bomb threat forced approximately 200 workers to evacuate the factory. After a search of the property by employees revealed no apparent threat, employees were allowed to return to work without incident. Officers responded to a report of a drive-by-shooting on Riverside Ave. Four suspects ended up in custody following a high-speed pursuit that ended in a rollover accident in Dodge County. At least two shots were confirmed fired; no injuries occurred as a result of the gun fire. September In an effort to crack down on loud stereos, the City Council passed a new ordinance redefining the way in which police are able to enforce noise violations. The new ordinance not only focuses on stereo systems, but also applies to vehicles with excessive loud exhaust. A first violation carries a maximum fine of $300. Subsequent violations could land the violator in jail for 90 days in addition to a large monetary fine. October OPD releases web site upgrade in an effort to keep citizens in the loop about criminal activity. The newly revamped site includes crime mapping, crime alerts, crime prevention bulletins, and a list of the city’s most wanted fugitives. In addition, means for reporting crime tips and requesting service anonymously are also included on the site. Patrol Officer D. Burbank was honored for his 25 years of service to the citizens of the Owatonna community, and was presented with a commemorative ring by Josten’s in recognition of his contribution to public safety in Owatonna. 15

2005 NOTABLE INCIDENTS CONTINUED November In an effort to crack down on Steele County’s Most Wanted, the OPD published outstanding warrants on the department’s website in an attempt at reducing the list as much as possible through aggressive enforcement. The effort brought numbers down from its high in 2004 of more than 1,700 warrants to 1,657 warrants against 1,321 individuals. OPD officers can now be seen wearing new department issued uniforms. The new look is a change from the familiar light blue uniforms to a more common, traditional dark blue police uniform; thus contributing to the professional image of the police department. Full dress uniforms complete with a formal Class A dress hat also adorns each officer for special events. OPD announces teen traffic safety kickoff at Owatonna High School (OHS), a teenage traffic safety enforcement/education effort to emphasize the importance of wearing seatbelts in order to reduce the number of fatalities resulting from traffic accidents, a.k.a. – “The Number One Killer of Teens.”

December Officers received a report of a bomb threat at Doherty Staffing. After an evacuation of the building and a subsequent search which turned up nothing, the matter was resolved without incident. 16

STEELE COUNTY DETENTION CENTER MISSION STATEMENT The Steele County Detention Center’s main purpose is to optimize public safety by the safe and humane housing of sentenced and un-sentenced detainees awaiting due process, according to all state statutes. It is hoped that the restriction of freedom, one of the inalienable rights in the United States of America, will be a deterrent to all offenders. It is the hope of the citizens of Steele County that those who pass through the Steele County Detention Center will re-enter society as more productive and responsible members of our community. We believe in the safe, humane and fair treatment of all individuals. We believe that the implementation of this mission statement will require good management and well-trained staff.

UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING ______________________________________________________

The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program divides offenses into two groups, Part I and Part II crimes. Each month, contributing agencies, such as the Owatonna Police Department, submit information on the number of Part I offenses known to law enforcement; those offenses cleared by arrest or exceptional means; and the age, sex, and race of persons arrested for each of the offenses. Contributors provide only arrest data for Part II offenses. The UCR Program collects data about Part I offenses in order to measure the level and scope of crime occurring throughout the Nation. The Program’s founders chose these offenses because they are serious crimes, they occur with regularity in all areas of the country, and they are likely to be reported to the police. Part I offenses are referred to as the “Crime Index” measurement. The crimes of murder, rape, aggravated assault, and robbery are also known as “violent crimes.” The crimes of burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft, and arson are labeled as “property crimes.” The Part I offenses include: Criminal Homicide The killing of another person: a.) Murder & Non-Negligent Manslaughter: the willful (non-negligent) killing of one human being by another. Deaths caused by negligence, attempts to kill, assaults to kill, suicides, and accidental deaths are excluded. The Program classifies justifiable homicides separately and limits the definition to: (1) The killing of a felon by a law enforcement officer in the line of duty; or (2) The killing of a felon during the commission of a felony, by a private citizen b.) Manslaughter by Negligence: the killing of another person through gross negligence: Any death that occurs because of negligence of some person other than the victim and that is not in commission of an unlawful act. Traffic fatalities are excluded. 56

FLEET MANAGEMENT ______________________________________________________

A NEW LOOK . . . 2005 brought about a new look for Owatonna Police Department squad cars. According to Police Chief Shaun LaDue, “The Owatonna Police Department will have a new look to the police cruisers, as the department is making efforts to become more visible by implementing black-and-white squads which includes a new graphics design as well.” Historically, black-and-white police cruisers date back as far as the 1940’s. The future of this department, according to LaDue, is to increase its visibility. The black-and-white cruiser offers a stronger reminder to citizens to follow the law. It is also an immediate identifier that lets both citizens and other officers distinguish the city’s police force by enhancing the Department’s professional image. The black-and-white police cruiser also indicates a progressive department with an assertive approach to the enforcement of the law. LaDue states, “I feel very strongly that as this department moves forward, that we start with our image as a whole; therefore, enhancing our professional image.” Officers and supervisors from the department formed a committee and developed the new design. In addition, City Mechanics Randy Dettmann, Bob Pirkl, and Chad Nelson assisted in making the change possible. “I hope you will share in my excitement as the first black-and-white police cruiser hits the streets,” Chief LaDue stated, as “It is my desire to have the entire fleet changed within 18 months.”

PATROL VEHICLE DATA The cost of purchasing and operating vehicles is a substantial part of the police budget. Every attempt is made to hold the costs to a minimum while still being able to provide all of the required services. The following data is based on 31 patrol vehicles currently used on a regular basis by the Owatonna Police Department.

A NOTE OF APPRECIATION The Owatonna Police Department would like to recognize Chad Nelson for the outstanding job he has done throughout the year 2005! Chad did an excellent job setting up the new squad cars. Some of Chad’s jobs when setting up the new squad cars were to install radios, radar units, new computers with docking stations, light bars, and shotgun mounts. Chad also corrected any problems that arose with the new squad cars. If there was a problem with the new squad cars, Chad would stop whatever he was doing at the time, and correct the problem. Throughout the year, Chad put in long hours to make sure the new squad cars were ready for service. In addition to setting up the new squad cars, Chad has also kept the existing fleet of squad cars in service. Chad would repair them in a timely manner ensuring they were not out of commission for an extended period of time. The Owatonna Police Department would like extend its sincere appreciation to Chad and all that he does to keep our police vehicle fleet running!

Thanks Chad!

AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR (AED) PROGRAM ______________________________________________________

The Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Program is designed for fast response to victims of cardiac arrest. The most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest is a lethal rhythm called ventricular fibrillation. The only effective treatment for this rhythm is an electrical shock called defibrillation. The AED, when used in conjunction with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Advanced Life Support (ALS), greatly increases a person’s chance of survival. 71

THE AED PROGRAM In 1999, the Owatonna Police Department implemented an AED Program. At the start of the program funding was obtained from the Department of Public Safety, and two AEDs were purchased with this grant. Later, with the help of several local charities (The Eagles, The Elks, The Golden Kiwanis, The Knights of Columbus, The City of Owatonna & The VFW), more AEDs were purchased for placement in squad cars. In 2005, there were a total of eight AEDs in Owatonna Police Department squad cars!

Training Department AED Instructor: Sgt. Jeffrey Okerberg The Owatonna Police Department entered into an agreement with Gold Cross Ambulance Service, and Dr. Ralph Wertwijn agreed to be the local Medical Director for the use of AEDs by officers. Officer training is completed annually; consisting of fours hours of lecture and hands on experience.

* Since the inception of the program, the AED has become an important Link in the Chain of Survival in the Owatonna Community. Ten lives have been saved as a result of having AED placement in squad cars!

PREDATORY OFFENDER REGISTRATION (POR) MONITORING ______________________________________________________

CONFIDENTIAL: PREDATORY OFFENDER PROFILE

The Owatonna Police Department is committed to keeping our community safe and informed. Predatory Offender Registration (POR) is the law pursuant to Minnesota State Statutes 243.166 and 244.052. Offender registration is completed, data compiled, and enforcement directed through the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), the Department of Corrections (DOC), and local law enforcement agencies – such as the Owatonna Police Department. The Owatonna Police Department takes an aggressive stance concerning registered predatory offenders, making unannounced visits to homes of those registered within our community at least twice per calendar year. This enforcement ensures those offenders that are living within our borders, are in compliance. The Owatonna Police Department has zero tolerance for those found non-compliant. Investigations are conducted on those offenders found to be non-compliant as defined by Minnesota statute, with criminal prosecution pursued through our Steele County Attorney’s Office. Under state statute there are three levels of POR. Level One Level One offenders are determined to be at minimal risk to re-offend. Police agencies may open a file on these offenders and may release information about the release of the offender to victims of, and witnesses to the crime, other law enforcement agencies, and anyone identified by the prosecuting attorney to receive the information.

Level Two Level Two offenders are determined to be at a moderate risk to re-offend. Police agencies may release information to anyone included in the Level One information release; and in addition, may notify organizations, such as schools, daycare centers, and other organizations where individuals who may become victims of the offender are regularly found, of the offender’s release. Law enforcement will make the decision on which organizations to notify based on the offender’s past pattern of behavior. Law enforcement officials may also choose to notify certain individuals that they determine to be at possible risk from the offender, but this is not a widespread community notification. Organizations notified about a Level Two offender are given this information to protect individuals in their care while they are on or near the premises of those organizations. The information is not to be redistributed by those organizations that have been notified. Level Three Level Three offenders have been determined to be at high risk for re-offense out of all of the three risk levels. Law enforcement may notify all individuals and agencies included in Level One and Level Two notifications, and may also distribute information about the offender to everyone else in the community. In addition, officials may use the media and other distribution methods to get this information to the public. According to law enforcement policy, enforcement officials may hold public meetings in the areas where Level Three offenders reside. At those meetings, information about the notification process, about the registration of predatory offenders, and information about the general population of these offenders is distributed and discussed. In addition, information about a specific offender or offenders is released. The information includes a general area of residence, a description of the offender (with photograph), and a description of the pattern of behavior that this offender has been known to display in the past. This disclosure does not apply to offenders that are in licensed residential facilities where staff has been trained to manage sexual offenders (halfway houses), nor does it apply to offenders in secure hospital facilities operated by the Department of Human Services (hospitals at Moose Lake and St. Peter, Minnesota). In 2005, there were NO Level Three offenders residing in the Owatonna community which would require meeting the State of Minnesota requirements for public reporting. 75

2005 POR COMPLIANCE CHECKS In 2005, the Owatonna Police Department completed multiple predatory offender registration (POR) compliance checks on a total of 59 predatory offenders in an effort to enforce POR law pursuant to Minnesota State Statutes. The results of the POR compliance checks were as follows: Compliant County PORs Deceased Incarcerated (Jail/Prison) for Violations Non-Compliant/Requesting Prosecution Packets Offender Moved Out of Jurisdiction Past non-Compliant/Warrants Registration Requirement Expired

A large portion of the funding aids in the purchase of controlled substances from those whom the task force investigates. Typically, such investigations are very time consuming and require a lot of coordination between local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. In 2005, there were four Field Agents working within the task forces’ five county area. These agents produced a total of over 306 active drug-related investigations. TRAINING SCDIU Field Agents attended over 18 courses, gaining over 197 hours of instructional training.

PREVENTION SCDIU Field Agents gave 66 presentations to over 3,656 persons throughout its service area. 78

OWATONNA POLICE DEPARTMENT EXPLORER POST #204 ______________________________________________________ The Owatonna Police Department Explorer Post #204 was founded in 1998. In 2005, the program had eight active Explorer members; Sergeant Rethemeier, Sergeant von Wald, Officer Fandel, Officer Sorenson, Officer Fogel, and Community Service Officer (CSO) Hunt served as advisors and mentors. The Explorer program is a young adult career education program for young men and women who are 14 and graduates of eighth grade or are 15 through 20 years of age. Law Enforcement Exploring is a youth development program centered around law enforcement careers and is a cooperative effort between the Owatonna Police Department and the Boys Scouts of America. The purpose of this program is to provide experiences to help young people mature, and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults. Explorers are ready to investigate the meaning of interdependence in their personal relationships and communities. The end result of a program of this nature is that the various program activities help youth pursue their special interests, grow and develop. Explorer programs are based on five areas of emphasis: career opportunities, life skills, service learning, character education, and leadership experience. The programs are based on the Learning for Life Mission Statement: “The mission for Learning for Life is to serve others by helping instill core values in young people and in other ways prepare them to make ethical choices throughout their lives so they can achieve their full potential.” Members of the Owatonna Police Department Explorer Post #204 participate in training meetings, which expose them to a wide variety of situations that law enforcement officers experience, and in community events where their assistance is valuable to the police department, all while giving them insight into the many varied duties of the department. Several previous Explorer members are now sworn officers, and several more are currently majoring in college law enforcement programs.
