-~'/ -k'I To: <br /> iver Date: <br /> <br />Police Department <br /> <br /> Memorandum <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Thomas D. Zer~vas, Chief of Police <br />April 6, 2000 <br /> <br />PUBLIC SAFETY OPEN HOUSE <br /> <br />This is an informational memo regarding our open house planned for <br />Saturday, May 6, 2000. The hours will be from 10:OO a.m. until 2:00 <br />p.m. and we will be conducting many public safety demonstrations, as <br />well as providing a pet clinic for the community. <br /> <br />A new exhibit that we are excited about is CompuKid, an <br />identification program for children, which produces a color digital <br />picture, digital fingerprints, and inforn~ation that is saved on a floppy <br />disk. This computer disk, along with a color printout of the <br />information will be made available to the parents. This system was <br />recently purchased largely through donations solicited by the <br />community service unit for their crime prevention exhibition. <br /> <br />Other presentations will be offered by the SWAT team (van/ <br />rappelling), bicycle patrol team, K-9 (demo), Investigations, and Safe <br />& Sober (crash car). A child seat safety clinic will hopefully include a <br />child seat giveaway. Tours of the police department will also be <br />available, as well as a greeting from McGruff (provided by the reserve <br />unit). <br /> <br />The Elk River Fire Department and Municipal Utilities will be on <br />hand, and State Patrol will again participate with their helicopter. <br />Rivers of Hope plans on vending hot dogs during the open house. <br /> <br />As the department will be open to the public, we are preparing our <br />building for the upcoming event. Since built in 1993, no major <br />upkeep has been done. New paint and wall repair will be applied to <br />high traffic areas and professional carpet cleaning has been arranged. <br /> <br />I estimate it will cost approximately two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) <br />to repaint the high traffic areas. If you would prefer, we can postpone <br />the painting. If you have any questions, give me a call. <br /> <br />TDZ/krna <br /> <br />13065 Or0n0 Parkway · P.O.
