City of Long Lake Police Services Agreement Update <br />1.The supplemental officers are scheduled for 70 hours per week. In fact the schedule <br />reflects 80 hours per week. <br />2. <br />3. <br />All of the scheduled shifts were actually worked. <br />The supplemental officers may leave the city of Long Lake only for the reasons <br />allowed in the contract: <br />a.) To respond to necessary call or mutual aid type calls which are defined as calls <br />created by immediate necessity for police service such as responding to a medical <br />emergency, a crime in progress, an officer requiring immediate assistance, etc. (The <br />supplemental officers were out of the city for 6.8 hours in August of 1997.) <br />b.) Scheduled travel to the Orono Police Department offices at the beginning or end <br />of shifts or break periods as called for by the union contract. <br />c.) Looping through Orono as a part of regular patrol pattern through the city of Long <br />Lake. <br />d.) Transporting prisoners to the Orono Police Department, Hennepin County Jail, <br />Juvenile Detention Center, Detox Center, or other locations as necessary. <br />The patrol loop through Orono as part of the Long Lake patrol pattern has historically been north <br />on North Brown to County Road 6, east to Spring Hill Road, then around the east end of Long Lake <br />on Old Long Lake Road to Highway 12 and back into Long Lake. The Long Lake patrol pattern had <br />also included a loop west on Highway 12 to North Brown Road, south to Watertown Road, then east <br />on Watertown Road back to Long Lake. The Watertown Road patrol loop has not been used for <br />many years. <br />In response to concerns raised by the Long Lake Police Commission, the County Road 6 patrol loop <br />has been discontinued. <br />At the October 16, Long Lake Police Commission meeting, the Police Commission made two <br />additional requests. <br />1.The Commission requested that the city of Orono determine how many officers would be <br />needed by Orono if Orono was to provide service only to the city of Orono and not to any <br />other cities. <br />2.The Commission requested that the city of Orono look at changing the current cost allocation <br />formula.
