January 01 . 2001 The office will be closed on January 21st for the Martin Luther King Holiday. DARE starts January 8th at the intermediate school. About 200 fifth grade students will participate in this years program. The program will last sixteen weeks this year and will be taught on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Jeff Johnson is busy arranging to order and equip new squads this year, including a SUV. John Schoenhoff will continue to work with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force as time permits. In December John went to the National ICAC Conference in New Orleans. Other opportunities for forensic computer training will be come available through the task force in the coming year. So far the departments association with the task force has benefited the department. Several computer hard drives have been or are being searched for evidence of computer crime. Normally it Is taking six to twelve months to get a hard drive searched at the BCA because of the back log of cases. The ultimate goal is to have our own forensic computer at the OPD in the future. John is also doing Internet safety classes at the Orono Schools with future plans to extend this training to the whole community. In case someone hasn ’t noticed the Coke in the pop machine has been replaced by Mountain Dew. Vehicle registration stickers issued by mail starting with July 2001 expirations have changed. The registration number on the new sticker will end with the six or seven digit license plate number, making it easier to verify that the correct stickers are displayed on the correct plates. The old style stickers are still being issued by the registration offices around the state with the goal to change over to the new stickers in the future. The new sticker is the same color (Gold for 2002). Displayed in bold in the middle of the sticker is 02 for the 2002 year, followed on the right by MN. The sticker number ends with the license plate number which is printed on the bottom of the sticker. W Mim Rmm Sergeant Goman Resigns from the Police Reserve Unit It is with a sense of a great loss that we have accepted DJ Goman ’s resignation from the Reserve. DJ 's resignation was effective on November 30, 2001. DJ was with the reserve for 12 years. He served as a Reserve Officer, Corporal and Sergeant. DJ was always there to help the Reserve Coordinator fill assignments and help out where ever he could. DJ has been hired as a Long Lake Firefighter and we are sure he will be as much of an asset to them as he was to us. DJ said in his resignation letter that he will miss working with us and we will sure miss him. Good luck on your job with the fire department!! Officer Schoenhoff New Reserve Coordinator John Schoenhoff has taken over the position of Reserve Liaison officer for the department on January 01, 2002. The future goal for the Reserve will be to try and strengthen our reserve manpower by recruiting more people from our communities. Our goal will be to try and attract community members who are not necessarily law enforcement students but have an interest in giving something back to the community.
