<br />PRESENTATION
<br />4. ORONO POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT
<br />Chief Correy Farniok presented the 2014 Annual Report for the Orono Police Department to the City
<br />Council. Farniok stated the Orono Police Department serves the Cities of Minnetonka Beach, Mound,
<br />Orono, and Spring Park. The police department's organizational chart has not changed with the exception
<br />of a slight change in the position of investigative sergeant. Sergeant Wittke has rotated out of that
<br />position and Sergeant Scott Boris has assumed that position.
<br />Farniok reviewed the calls for service received in 2014. Farniok indicated the total numbers are fairly
<br />consistent, with Saturday night being the busiest. Priority one calls require emergency response. The
<br />response time for those were all under five minutes, with a lot of the contract cities, including Spring Park
<br />and Mound, being under four minutes. Farniok noted the largest number of calls are located in Mound,
<br />followed by Orono, Spring Park, and Minnetonka Beach.
<br />Farniok stated the highest number of crimes consist of thefts, primarily from motor vehicles, followed by
<br />burglaries. Farniok noted the Police Department has sent out a crime alert about locking cars even if
<br />making a very quick stop.
