Our partnership allows us to be vigilant <br /> in responding to the community's needs. We are proud of the strong relationships we <br /> have built with the residents and businesses of Long Lake; these relationships help us <br /> provide the high level of service that the community has come to expect, and a sense of <br /> security that the community demands. Because of our shared borders and the close <br /> proximity of our headquarters, the Orono Police Department has an extraordinarily high <br /> visible presence in the community of Long Lake. <br /> We are a full-service community police department. Not only do we patrol roads and <br /> neighborhoods, but our officers are also seen interacting with the community on a <br /> number of different levels every day. Our structure allows us to be an active member of <br /> the West Metro Drug Task Force, and have a school resource officer who also works <br /> juvenile investigations. We are able to provide an additional investigator as well as a <br /> supervising sergeant sixteen to twenty hours a day. In addition, we offer opportunities <br /> for citizen input and involvement through programs such as Citizens' Police Academy, <br /> National Night Out and the Police Reserve Program. As the law enforcement provider <br /> for the broader community we are able to have four officers assigned during peak need <br /> hours, three officers on duty the majority of the time and always have at least two <br /> officers on duty twenty-four hours a day. The residents of Long Lake know us as their <br /> police department. <br /> We are pleased to respond to the City of Long Lake's Request for Proposal for police <br /> services. We believe our record of outstanding service, knowledge of the community, <br /> and geographic proximity help us provide superior service and make us the best choice <br /> to serve Long Lake. <br />
