This is to inform the city council that I have completed the selection process for the Assistant Police Chief position. I advertised in the Minneapolis Star Tribune and the Elk River Star News for two (2) weeks. There were twenty (20) applications sent out and only ten (10) returned. Of the ten (10) returned, only five (5) met the minimum qualifications. The selection process consisted of points being given for letter of introduction and resume, size of City/department applicant was coming from, education, training, years of experience at the rank of sergeant or above, civic activity and veteran's preference. The oral board, consisting of Assistant City Administrator Loft Johnson, Sherburne County Sheriff Bruce Anderson, Council member Larry Farber, and I conducted oral interviews on the five (5) candidates who met the minimum qualifications. The top two (2) candidates were very good throughout the oral interview process, which included a formal presentation on community policing. The consensus of the oral board was that Jeffrey Beahen from the Anoka Police Department was our choice for Assistant Police Chief Jeff is a Senior Master Sergeant with Anoka. Prior to Anoka, Jeffwas a sergeant with the Elk River Police Department. Jeffwas then, and I am sure he will be now, an excellent command staff person for this department.

I am, therefore, requesting authorization to make a conditional offer of employment contingent on Je. ffpassing the medical, psychological and background investigation.

LEADERSHIP/ROLE OF POLICE My leadership philosophy has changed some over the years. I have learned that a good leader must be able to persuade others or sell them on a program or idea. A good manager shows employees that he or she is willing to do anything that they would ask an employee to do. They also have to treat their employees as if they were their "customers". We treat our "customers" right, and they will in turn treat those they come into contact with in a fair and courteous manner. The old style paramilitary leadership which most police departments are now going away from, is not conducive to community orientated policing. Police agencies still must maintain a rank structure within their organization which facilitates the daily duties. The general nature of police work requires this type of structure. Without it armed confrontations, high risk situations and other hazardous matters would be difficult to deal with. A manager in these situations must be respected and listened to - it is not a time to sell ideas. Community policing however requires a whole new style of leadership. The police department can not go into the community and order the citizens to take part in a project. You have to be able to sell the idea, convince your community that their best interest is at mind. Working with and listening to concerns brings about a sense of empowerment which brings with it respect and understanding. Proactive involvement, interaction with community groups, active ties with schools, neighborhoods and civic arenas is the key to police departmental success as we near the millenium. Police are no longer looked at just being the enforcers, but as a community resource and a positive factor in our ever changing society. My current style of leadership is a strong influencing type. My tendencies include: Contacting people, working in groups Making favorable impressions Verbalizing with articulateness Creating motivational environments Generating enthusiasm Viewing situations optimistically My action plans include: Developing systematic approaches Demonstrating individual follow-through Taking logical approaches Speaking directly Seeking facts Concentrating on the task I feel this demonstrated style of leadership is favorable for the community orientated policing style and as such would make me an asset to the City of Elk River. EDUCATIONAL HISTORY My resume lays out the order in which I have been trained and where. I am currently attending Metro State University and have completed half of the required credits. I have forty credits left which is between eight and ten classes. Working rotating shifts has made this goal difficult. One of my desires in seeking this position is the chance to have a more predictable schedule which would facilitate completion of my degree. I believe my supervisory training experience starting in the military where I had two very good management training courses, along with my experience and training in the police field, makes up for the remaining courses at Metro. Completing the degree will certainly improve my ability to do the job, but I feel I have the qualifications now to perform the job as the Assistant Police Chief in a very favorable fashion. Part of this belief is based on my work history, volunteer duties and other involvement. Several of my community or volunteer experiences have provided me with a wider base of knowledge. Please see the Extra Activities portion of my application for details on those experiences. The continuing education and formal training I have received is well documented in the training summary and resume and should not need further comment. LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPERIENCE I have a fairly diverse work experience. I spent seven years in a National Guard Military Police Company. My experiences here including training, leadership, crowd control, emergency management and planning. I took part in annual weapons training, patrol work and worked as a station sergeant during field exercises. I also participated in work during events at the State Capitol as well as other civic functions throughout the year. From 1980 to 1985 I worked for the Elk River Police Department as a police officer, police corporal and police sergeant. My additional duties included reserve training, firearms training and acting as second in command of the police department. I spent two fifteen day periods working for the State Fair Public Safety Department during the Minnesota State Fair. I was assigned general patrol duties as well as specific crowd control details. Since 1985 I have been employed by the Anoka Police Department. I started as a patrol officer but moved into the criminal investigation unit where I served until I was promoted to Sergeant in 1989. As an investigator, I was assigned a variety of cases which were handled from the point of initial investigation through either an arrest or a formal complaint with the City or County Attorney. I had occasion to work on several large and complex cases which were not only very rewarding, but also great learning experiences. My experiences and assignments as a patrol sergeant have been very challenging. In Anoka, the step to my current position of Senior Master Sergeant is a five step process. Each step requires certain management training or specialty skills before you may advance. The process takes five years with final promotion taking place at the end of the fifth year. Anoka sergeants are required to supervise a team of six officers as well as any office staff and non-sworn personnel working during that shift. This may include two police technicians, a community service officer and a state hospital police security officer. Other duties include review of all accident reports, traffic tickets, criminal citations, reports, repair tags and daily logs. Sergeants also prepare daily roll calls, distribute information and assign tasks as needed. We also respond to calls for service as needed during the normal shift. Each sergeant is also responSible for budget preparation in areas of special assignment. I am responsible as the senior patrol sergeant for yearly patrol equipment needs, police gun range, mountain bike unit and honor guard budgets. All sergeants are responsible for yearly goal development as well as other projects as assigned. I am currently assigned to the countywide computer group which is developing the request for bids for a county wide networked system. Sergeants are also responsible for conducting initial investigations on complaints against officers. They also investigate officer involved accidents, prepare first report of injury forms, review all use of force incidents as well as police pursuits to insure they are within policy guidelines. They prepare evaluations as well as disciplinary statements and make recommendations to the Chief on corrective measures. Supervision of the field training program and field trainee along with career development are included in daily tasks. LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPERIENCE Page 2 My special assignments involve a great deal of time and commitment. The police indoor gun range is a very complex system with a very current high efficiency filter system and computer control, led six stall shooting area. In addition we have an interactive video system installed which trains officers on the use of deadly force through department filmed scenarios. Responsibilities at the range beside budgeting include, maintenance and repairs, scheduling, developing training standards, conformance with POST standards and supervision of the departments nine range officers. I also participate on the countywide range committee which sets up and holds four countywide training shoots as well as use of force training. Anoka hosts a fifteen day long, sixteen hour a day, deadly force training session each year using our range and video system. I developed this training in 1991 and since that time besides the 300 Anoka county area officers each year, another 100 officers have taken part in the training. This includes Minneapolis PD SWAT. FBI, US Marshals Office, Champion PD, Elk River PD and BC Task Force. Putting on the training involves developing, filming and editing scenarios, lesson plan development, scheduling, and facility supervision. We also bill each department per officer or on a daily fee basis. I also am responsible for all firearms training records, weapon inventory and maintenance of all weapons as well as ammunition and other supplies. My other responsibilities include directing the seven person honor guard unit at the police department. Thus unit performs color guard details at a variety of events during the year. We also take part in funeral details for retired officers or persons associated with police agencies. The unit took part in the Law Enforcement Night at the Twins games last year as well as ceremonies and a parade on May 15th for Police Memorial Day. My duties included uniforms, scheduling and training. The department mountain bike team is also directed by myself. Started originally as a response to the cruising problem, it is now used for downtown patrol as well as patrol of several park areas. I am responsible for training, scheduling and operations during the summer months. There are eleven officers assigned to this team. I currently work through the Police Institute, hosting training sessions for departments starting up bike teams. I am assigned other duties during the year, including parade supervision, crime watch, public speaking events, community activities, explorer training as well as reserve training. In addition to the above, I have volunteered my time and worked player security at both the U.S. Open and for three years at the Burnet Senior Classic. In both cases I spent time assigned to a specific player during the tournament providing personal security while they were on the course. I have had a number of projects I have undertaken during my time in Anoka which resulted in change or redevelopment. They include: Assigned to the department on-site accreditation team. Developed new Incident Information Report for use by department Developed Daily Roll Call Report for use by patrol sergeants, P.C. based. Developed deadly force training countywide. LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPERIENCE Page 3 Established new system of firearms records keeping. Implemented new accident report forms. Redeveloped forms storage system. Oversaw change to MP-5 for squad use including training and purchase Developed citizen accident information forms. ANOKA POLICE STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION My role in the Anoka structure was fairly well covered in my work experience section. The authorized strength is 28 sworn. We are currently at 27 due to recent transfers. The police department has a Police Chief and a Captain. There are six sergeants. Three are assigned to patrol, one is the Investigative Unit Commander, one is assigned as the Juvenile Section Commander and the last is our Special Services Section Commander. Patrol sergeants are assigned one of the three shifts, either day, evenings or nights and bid their rotation through these shifts based on seniority. Each sergeant and assigned team rotates to a new shift every four months. Anoka has a minimum shift requirement of three officers which may include a sergeant. The Criminal Section is assigned one sergeant and two investigators. The Juvenile Section has one sergeant and three School Liaison Officers. The Special services section has one sergeant, two Community Service Officers and an average of nine part time police security officers. The PSO's provide security by contract at the Anoka Metro Regional Treatment Center and the Anoka Hennepin Vocational College. This sergeant is also responsible.for the records unit which has one Records Technician II, five Police Technicians and two part-time Police Technicians. The City has it's own Animal Containment Facility which would also be included in the Special Services Area. The police department has an Administrative Assistant who answers to the Chief and Captain. We also have a fifteen person Police Reserve Unit and a Police Explorer Post. Patrol Officers, Investigators or Liaison Officers also serve as DARE officers, assigned to one day of DARE training a week for one 17.week period each year. Anoka has two K-9 handlers assigned to patrol, one officers assigned to the Anoka/Hennepin Drug Task Force and an eight officer SWAT team. The City of Anoka is seven square miles with a permanent based population of 19,000. The daily transient population is as high as 45,000. This is based on a number of larger industries such as Federal Hoffman, the State Hospital and a large number of schools as well as the County Courthouse, Offices and Jail. Anoka is a very transient community with almost 50% of the City being rental property. This factor plays heavily into the high rate per capita that Anoka experiences. The City of Anoka has a highly established park system including two river front parks as well as a City owned golf course. All of these areas are patrolled by the police department. EXTRA ACTIVITIES One of the most involved activities I have been involved with was being part of the St. Stephen's Church Annual Summerfest. This three day all volunteer event is held on the last full weekend in June of each year. My wife and I started as Chairpersons of the Security detail in 1 986. Our assignment involved security for the entire festival including planning meetings starting in January. We completed our mission each year by coordinating security for the grounds during the event. We were asked to step up to the General Chairperson roles and did so as couple in 1994. In this capacity we were in charge of the entire festival. Summerfest uses 2,100 volunteers, has a budget of $275,000 and raises, on average, $90,000 during it's three days. We were responsible for the entire budget, coordination of all areas and answered to the Parish Administrator and Pastor. During our three year commitment as General Chairs, we conducted hundreds of large and small group meetings, set schedules, established contracts with vendors and entertainment acts and developed policy for general operation. We also recruited volunteers for chair positions and spoke at Sunday masses about the upcoming festival. It was a very rewarding experience and it created a number of lasting friendships. It was also a great deal of work and demanded a large amount of our time. I learned a tremendous amount concerning the volunteer work force, budgeting and accounting principles as well as Contractual issues. I have also been active as a youth basketball coach and a youth hockey coach. I currently coach the Anoka Stars, a peewee level Northwest House League team. The past several years I have taught Youth Firearms Safety on a volunteer basis. Last year I conducted one fall class with 120 students. This year I cut the class size down to 50 which made it a more manageable task, In March of 1997, I was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Minnesota Law Enforcement Memorial Association. I was voted in as the board treasurer based on my Summerfest experience, in this position I am responsible for the three accounts LEMA has. We operate with a business checking account, have a money market account and also have an account which is for the memorial construction at the State Capitol. Our current assets are $44,000 although we are in the process of conducting three large fund drives. We are also having a golf tournament in honor of slain Trooper Tim Bowe which will be held on June 8th of this year. We expect this tournament to raise $18,000. I am one of three planners for this event and I am currently working on large corporation sponsorship. The LEMA board meets every month and I prepare a treasurer's report for review. All accounts are sent by myself to an independent auditor for annual review. Additionally I am part of a response team which responds to line of duty deaths. When an officer is killed LEMA is notified and our services are offered to the family and department. In Trooper Bowe's funeral, we met with his wife, State Patrol staff, the family priest and funeral home to assist in planning the event. Police funerals have become very complex and large and LEMA has a number of services to offer to help ease the burden. Because Bowe was buried in Anoka I was given the task of coordinating the wake, which was at St. Stephen's, and the burial, at an Anoka cemetery. This involved preparation for over 3,000 people who were at the wake, and the expected 7,200 people who would attend the funeral the next day. Logistically I located parking, worked with local businesses to provide parking during the burial as there were over 700 squad cars in the procession, and lined up bus service to accommodate the misplaced business people. We also attended to comfort issues such as portable bathrooms, water, aid stations as well as needs for horse units, l(-9's and news representatives. This experience, although so very tragic in nature, was the greatest lesson in emergency planning I have ever had. The factors involved included communications, aviation, traffic concerns and well as the large number of people involved. The funeral went without a hitch and the end result gave all involved a feeling that we had done our best for a fellow officer who had paid the ultimate sacrifice. This year I have been given the assignment of coordinating the services held at the State Capitol on May 15th at the Police Officer's Memorial Site. We have a parade of honor guards which comes from downtown St. Paul to the memorial. This is followed by music, guest speakers and tributes to all the fallen officers. Last year was the first time we hosted a reception afterwards at the St. Paul Armory in conjunction with MPPOA. I am working with MPPOA to host a reception again this year. Details will be coming out to all officers in the Police Journal. I am also participating in the presentation of a standardized Line of Duty Death Procedure for the Minnesota Chief's of Police Association. This procedure was presented to the Sheriff's Association at their Winter Conference and was very well received. Other volunteer experiences involve being an active member of the Sandburg Middle School Parent Advisory Board and being appointed by the School Board to the Anoka Hennepin Site Based Decision Making Management Advisory Board. The later involved review of cases brought to the board in which individual sites had questions or concerns over site decisions. My role, as one of two parents on the board, was to help evaluate the decisions to make certain they were made in the best interest of the site, and not in violation of anyone's personal rights or a student's best interests. In all, the combination of my volunteer experience has been diverse and has involved some very tenacious and large projects. I strongly feel that it is an important element of my experience and believe it has given me a good understanding of not only community relations, but management of personnel and resources as well.
