Memorandum INFORA14TION <br />/ To: Chief Zerwas <br />From: Sergeant Tyler �— <br />E lkRiver Date: 11 -15 -95 <br />Police Department Subject: OFFICER TONY MUSATOV <br />On 11 -14 -95 Officer Musatov was called to take a routine report of <br />tampering with a motor vehicle. While talking with the <br />complainant, Officer Musatov noted fresh shoe impressions in a <br />recent snowfall leading from the victim's vehicles. Officer <br />Musatov followed these tracks on foot through several different <br />neighborhoods, discovering additional vehicle break -ins as he <br />proceeded. He continued to follow the tracks until he found two <br />juvenile suspects. Officer Musatov then chased the suspects on <br />foot, eventually apprehending one of them. <br />After processing this suspect, Officer Musatov and Sergeant Mordal <br />located the second suspect in a residence and recovered numerous <br />stolen items. <br />Officer Musatov not only did an outstanding job in the tracking and <br />apprehension of the suspects, but did an excellent report <br />documenting the track, pursuit and follow -up of the incident. The <br />• manner in which he preserved, marked and collected evidence was <br />done in such a way that it greatly assisted the juvenile <br />investigators in their follow -up of the case. <br />• <br />Clearly, Officer Musatov's willingness to go beyond merely taking <br />the report resulted in the arrest of persons and the recovery of <br />property. The suspects would still be at large if it were not for <br />Officer Musatov's actions. I feel that this should not go <br />unrecognized. <br />TT /kma <br />cc: Officer Musatov <br />13065 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 723 • Elk River, MN 55330 0 (612) 441 -2324 • Fax (612) 441 -8937 <br />
