Reapeatf~tlly aubs~itt~d, CLERK t - 9/5/72 To Mr. l~a.yor, members of the Lakeville Council and ,Police Department: I am allowed 10 minutes to present what T have in mind and with the aid of this written statement, which for the re- cord I shall read, some of that time can be saved. I want to make it clear I am in np way fnding.fault with our police department as it exists. I feel the department is understaffed and underequpped mobilewise based on the widely scattered populated areas which exist in our village, Under the by-line of Pete Martin, staff writer for the Dakota County Tribune of last week the following appears-and. I quote s "A force of one man per 1000 residents is generally adequate to answer complaints--but to maintain a patrol force you need more. Lakeville has seven men and 7500 residents." My observation to the above is this a "Generally adequate to answer complaints" is not the answer to preventative accom- p l is hme nt . "Preventative action" like "preventative medicine" is the needed aim for safety of property and life . s' ,r i Yaur police records will disclose a high amount of recorded complaints from the area of our village known as ~~alley Park and. green Meadows. xnd there are an almost unbelieveable number of un-reported so-called minor depre- dations from that area. In the area mentioned there are a minimum of 700 occu- pied homes, each housing a minimum average of 4 persons-a total of 2800. On the basis of 1 officer per 1000 persons it follows that the area is 2.8 officers short of answering complaints to say nothing of providing deferent to irresponsible indi- viduals. I am not suggesting that 2.8 officers should be pro- vided for that area but I feel that serious consideration should be given to the ne~ease in police force by one man and a squad car for c~anstant patrol of that area from approx- imately 9~sm to Sam 7 days a week. Normal daytime patrol should be adequate . Money is being spent to acquire park facilities that ob- viously can be of little value to the community until in the 1980's, at which time more police problems will undoubtedly ensue . ~ i ~ 4 ~ But we are dealing with now: I appeal to you to cons~:dt~r my presentation. Thank you: George H. Wells
