Dear Citizens of St. Cloud:

The following 2003 annual report is submitted pursuant to Charter Section 3.50 and Administrative CodeSection 100.18, Subsections 4 and 5.

A review of the statistics reveals modest reductions in some crime areas and slight increases in others.The most telling number, however, is the increase of over 6,000 calls for service.

I am very proud of the men and women of this department who have worked extremely hard to supply aquality service with these increased demands while we were facing significant staffing shortages due tobudget restraints and military service requirements.

I want to thank Mayor Ellenbecker and the City Council for their strong support of the police department.Additionally, the support of the vast majority of citizens we serve is sincerely appreciated.

Respectfully,

D. BallantineChief of Police

ST. CLOUD POLICE DEPARTMENT K-9 PROGRAM

The goal of the St. Cloud Police Canine Unit is to provide trained and certified canine teams to assist thedepartment, surrounding agencies, and the public. These teams are trained in narcotic detection, criminalapprehension, suspect location, and tracking.

For 2003 the canine unit was comprised of the following; Officer Grossback and Jordi (narcotic and patrol dogcertified) and Officer Stellmach and King (narcotic certified).

In 2003 we again saw changes in the canine unit. The first being new schedules for the dog teams. OfficerGrossback and Jordi worked Wed-Sat from 1800 to 0300. This was done to place the patrol dog on the busier nightsand hours. Officer Stellmach and King began the year working Mon-Fri. during the day. This was done to help assistthe gang strike force, drug task force, and to begin working at Fed Ex doing package checks. During the summermonths Jordi was assigned to a special detail that worked Division Street in town, and King was assigned to theCommunity Crime Impact Team.

Two things happened to affect the canine unit this year. One was Jordi developing a medical condition in her back.This injury caused her to have to be retired from the canine unit in October. A new dog was purchased and assignedto Officer Grossback. This dog is a German Shepard named Dino and is currently in training for certification. Thesecond was Officer Stellmach being injured. This injury took Officer Stellmach and King off the road for the last 4months of the year. Both of these events lowered the number of uses on file for the dogs in the later part of the year.With the new dog and Officer Stellmach back at work things should pick up for 2004.

The statistics for the dogs are as follows: 1. 159 narcotic searches 2. 16 patrol dog call outs 3. 8,500 dollars seized 4. Narcotics Seized; Marijuana 20.6 lbs, Meth 10.3 lbs, Crack cocaine 25.9 grams, Heroin 1 gram, Ecstasy 8grams

There were two major highlights for King this year. In march while working at Federal Express King indicated on apackage that when opened contained 18 lbs of marijuana. The second was in July while assisting the drug task forceking indicated on a vehicle in a shed, when the vehicle was searched they located 10 lbs of meth. Excellent job byKing and Officer Stellmach.

For 2004 we will continue to advance the canine unit. The biggest change for 2004 is the addition of a second patroldog named Otto. Otto is a male German Shepard, 3 years old donated to the department, and assigned to OfficerStellmach. Upon the completion of their training Canine King will be retired. This will allow a patrol dog on eachside of the schedule and should help to protect the officers and citizens of St. Cloud

During the course of the year, Officers of the CCIT accumulated a total of 423 arrests. Thisincludes Misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, and felony arrests with 76 of those being narcoticsrelated arrests. Officers also documented 746 traffic violations, including 332 traffic tickets and414 written warnings. Officers also responded to 847 calls for service

CCIT conducted covert surveillance and arrest operations from SCSU’s Move-In day, throughthe Homecoming celebrations. Officers assisted in dealing with the numerous problems in St.Cloud’s college area and South side during this time period. These activities resulted in numerousarrests and helped to reduce the problems in that part of the city, which included noise violations,loud parties, keg violations and underage consumption of alcohol.

CCIT conducted two separate rounds of alcohol compliance checks and one round of tobaccocompliance checks during 2003. These checks were conducted to enforce state laws in reference toselling alcohol and tobacco to minors. These compliance checks also resulted in several arrests andcivil penalties.

CCIT conducted training to the licensed establishments that sell alcohol and tobacco. Thesetraining sessions were done to assist the businesses in making sure that their employees werecomplying with all state laws and city ordinances. The training was opened up to all licensedestablishments that sold alcohol and tobacco and to city employees that worked seasonally at theMunicipal athletic complex and Whitney Senior center.

CCIT assisted Crime-Free Multi Housing and Neighborhood watch groups by providing gang,drug and alcohol talks. The Officers also conducted checks for these groups in areas that werehaving specific problems.

During the Majority of the year, the CCIT team operated one Officer short. This was due toseveral Officers in the department being called to active Military service and a shortage of Officersin the department as a whole. The statistics for the year were still up from 2002, demonstrating theeffectiveness of this team.

Crime Free Multi-Housing Program

The Crime Free Multi-Housing Program is a International Program. The program started inMesa, Arizona in 1992 and has spread to all 50 states and internationally. At this time the programis active in over 1500 cities in the U.S. and in over 115 cities in Minnesota and continues to growand expand. The Crime Free Program does not imply there IS no crime in a designated area, butrather this is to warn that there can be SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES for any one affiliated withILLEGAL/CRIMINAL activity. These consequences could include termination of rentalagreements. The Crime Free Multi-Housing (CFMH) is a program designed to make Multi-Familydwellings safe and desirable places to live.

The Program uses a unique three-phase approach that ensures friendly techniques will be appliedto maintain crime prevention goals. The three phases of the program are.

Phase One: Owner/Management TrainingPhase Two: Minimum Security Assessment of the propertyPhase Three: Resident Training/Crime Watch Meeting

All three Phases of the program must be met beforethe Property/Complex can be fully certified in theprogram. St. Cloud currently has 91 Properties Fullycertified in the program with over 300 properties activein the program and at various stages of certification. Thenumber of properties getting involved continue to growand expand in St. Cloud and surrounding communities.

The Crime Free program and the resulting increasedcoordination and involvement of property owners andmanagers is making a difference in St. Cloud. The resulthas been reduced police calls to Crime Free properties.


It is the mission of the Parking Control Division to provide adequate parking and a safeenvironment for pedestrians and vehicles through aggressive enforcement of the parking ordinances.

In 2003 the Parking Control Division consisted of two full time and nine part time CommunityService Officers (CSOs). Four of the part time CSOs are assigned to the midnight shift to enforceparking regulations, especially seasonal calendar violations and assist with towing of vehicles duringsnow emergencies. Three part time CSOs work day shift to enforce parking regulations at Tech HighSchool and St Cloud State University.

• To coordinate proactive, long-term investigations on targeted gang members.

• To react promptly to requests for assistance from other law enforcement agencies.

• To provide peace officers and prosecutors throughout Minnesota with training on tactics and techniques for investigating and prosecuting gang crimes.

• To obtain information and intelligence regarding gang membership and related criminal activity and share that information with other law enforcement agencies in the state.

• The ensure that the community receives information about plans, activities, and decisions of the Criminal Gang Oversight Council through regular meetings with the Indian Affairs Council, the Council on Affairs of Chicano/Latino People, the Council on Black Minnesotans, and the Council on Asian-Pacific Minnesotans, and to ensure that the position of the Councils on Gang Strike Force activities is then heard by the MGSF Oversight Council.
