Special Joint Elk River/Ramsey City Council Minutes Page 7 <br />September 14, 2015 <br />----------------------------- <br />Chief Nierenhausen stated their officers have been advised to change some of their <br />tactics and not let their guard down. He thought they both benefit from working in <br />communities considered bedroom communities, which typically generates more <br />appreciation for law enforcement. <br /> <br />Mayor Strommen asked if there are trends both communities are seeing. <br /> <br />Chief Katers stated their calls for service are more quality of life calls than criminal <br />calls. <br /> <br />Chief Nierenhausen stated they are seeing more quality of life calls but are seeing <br />calls requiring two or three officers. He thought this trend would rise in the coming <br />years. <br /> <br />Chief Katers stated the complexity of calls are increasing and it takes more people to <br />solve some of the crimes. <br /> <br />3.08 Other <br /> <br />Mayor Strommen asked if there were any other issues to be discussed. Hearing none, <br />Mayor Strommen thanked staff from both cities and felt it was helpful to get <br />together on occasion to share information. She thanked the Councils from both <br />cities for participating. <br /> <br />Mayor Dietz echoed the thoughts and felt they should do it again soon. <br /> <br />4.
