He noted there was <br />an increase in domestic assaults and thefts but DWI’s have decreased. He stated these changes could <br />be a sign of the times with coming out of a pandemic and the inflation that followed. <br /> <br />The Council asked if there was any advice that could be given to businesses to limit theft or catch the <br />perpetrators and if there are statistics on how many are committed by Elk River residents. Mr. <br />Baumgartner noted most businesses follow their corporate policies and sometimes cameras are used <br />to catch thieves after the crime. He further noted a lot of the thefts come from people who live <br />outside the community who make a loop to hit multiple stores. <br /> <br />Sherburne County Attorney Kathleen Heaney thanked Mr. Baumgartner and the police department <br />for their work. She stated she has 1,600 active cases as of January 2024 and there is still a backlog <br />from covid. <br /> <br />The Council thanked both attorneys for their work and how smoothly things are run. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
