ELK RIVER POLICE DEPARTMENT <br />CRIME MENTION & OUTREACH PROGRAMS <br />Ongoing Programs: <br />64A-7 <br />ccs( <br />Crime Free Multi -Housing Program (CFMH) <br />We conduct monthly meetings at police department for apartment owners and <br />managers. Disseminate police reports relevant to their properties. Provide <br />training and updates on crime trends. The number of members fluctuates <br />throughout the year as management companies' change. We average about 20 <br />members and are always seeking new members. <br />Neighborhood Watch Program <br />Program establishes neighborhood watch groups within residential areas of the <br />city. An initial presentation is given to residents of that development, covering <br />the concept of the program and providing security tips. Block Captains are <br />selected and become a liaison for the block watch group with the police <br />department. Newsletters are sent twice a year along with crime alerts to the <br />block captains who then distribute them to the other members. <br />SkimStop Program <br />A program designed to work in conjunction with local gas stations to ensure that <br />credit card "skimmers" are not being placed in their gas pumps by criminals. The <br />program was rolled out in April of 2016 and now has all the stations in Elk River <br />taking part in the program. Impromptu Inspections are done to ensure <br />compliance. Stations are provided the forms and security seals needed for the <br />program and receive an annual sticker informing the public that they participate <br />in the program. <br />
