The goal of this component is to curb the free flowing drug market that seems to be present in Elk <br />River at this time. We don't expect to put a large dent in the amount of drugs being moved <br />around Elk River, but we hope to let these criminals know that someone is out there actively <br />trying to arrest them. We expect to increase the number of drug related arrests and investigations, <br />especially follow-up arrests and investigations stemming from an arrest. <br /> <br />Summary <br /> <br />Elk River has experienced and will continue to experience rapid growth in both population and <br />commercial/business areas. Along with this, we have experienced an increase in calls for service <br />and in arrests. The police department has been barely able to keep up with the increase and has <br />not been able to adequately address many of the concerns of the citizens shown above. The Elk <br />River City Council has occasionally freed up funds to allow overtime projects to address these <br />concerns but those funds have been very limited. Now, the new legislative Levy limits on local <br />municipalities will significantly reduce the amount of overtime funding available to address these <br />concerns. Funding through this grant would make addressing these citizen concerns a reality. <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br />
