Brown <br /> Original Message <br /> From: Scott Knight[mailto:SKnight@chaskamn.com] <br /> Sent: Monday, February 22, 2010 10:48 AM <br /> To: lindsay@emilyprogram.com <br /> Subject: Fwd: Anna Westin House <br /> To Whom It May Concern: <br /> I write to establish for the record to what, if any degree, the Anna Westin <br /> House positively, or negatively impacts my community. <br /> The Anna Westin House has operated in my city, in a residential area, for a decade (if not longer.) We receive no <br /> complaints, or concerns about, or having anything to do with, the Anna Westin House. They have zero negative impact <br /> on the neighborhood, our community, and/or police/emergency operations. <br /> Over the course of time emergency personnel have responded there to render medical aid to persons in need, which is <br /> not unexpected, nor is it disturbing. On rare occasions, we are asked to assist in locating persons who may be late in <br /> returning home, or who have simply taken a walk and not returned an time. None of the these calls (and ultimate <br /> outcomes) have given us pause, or presented a danger to anyone. To suggest that our police historical data record says <br /> otherwise would be a disingenuous <br /> misrepresentation of fact. <br /> I submit that indeed the Anna Westin House has a very real positive impact on our community. It is a place of healing, <br /> caring, and offers great respect to all internal/external stakeholders. <br /> Most sincerely, <br /> Scott M. Knight <br /> Chief of Police <br /> Chaska Police Department <br /> Two City Hall Plaza <br /> Chaska MN 55318-1960 <br /> USA <br /> sknight@chaskamn.com <br /> 952.448.4200 <br /> 952.448.2307 (fax) <br /> 1 <br />
