2020 City of Shakopee Budget

81

Budget Impact: Our primary focus is to provide the highest quality of service while being fiscally responsible with the citizens tax dollars. We are driven to be the best police department in Minnesota, all the while exceeding your expectations. This budget provides the staff, training, and equipment necessary to attain the highest level of service our citizens deserve in an ever-changing industry. Throughout the years of city growth, we have consistently trained well-beyond industry minimum standards, which has proven to be extremely beneficial and consistent with law enforcement best practices. While our population and calls for service continue to increase, the last five years we have had the lowest crime rates in our city. Our department’s commitment to unparalleled customer service has been recognized by the IACP in 2018 with their prestigious Leadership in Victim Services Award. Our department also received the MADD Minnesota Policy Setter Award in 2018. This is the second time we have received this honor in the last five years. We look forward to a safe and prosperous 2020.
