Shakopee Police Department 2021 Annual Report

2021 ANNUAL REPORT | POLICE DEPARTMENT | SHAKOPEE, MN

Patrol The patrol division is the pulse of the Shakopee Police Department Many community members only ever have contact with a patrol officer, whether it is to report an incident, at a community event or being stopped for a traffic violation The uniformed officer is the face of the entire department Our patrol officers interact with community members when they respond to calls for service, take reports on incidents that have occurred, patrol neighborhoods, enforce traffic laws and engage at community events Our patrol officers also conduct criminal investigations by interviewing victims and suspects, review third party surveillance, collect evidence, track stolen property, and utilize multiple databases for information In 2021, we responded to 22,591 incidents reported The patrol division is comprised of 27 patrol officers, seven sergeants and one captain There are four school resource officers that work in the schools during the school year and work on patrol during the summer There are four different patrol shifts that start and end throughout the day to provide 24/7 patrol coverage for the City of Shakopee During 2021, COVID still played a role in how officers respond to calls, however 2021 was welcomed with more community events for patrol officers and our entire police department to participate in Our patrol officers are very well trained in many areas that include crime scene processing, drug interdiction, DWI detection and enforcement, hostage rescue, fraud investigation, mental health crisis, first aid and CPR They work closely with businesses on shoplifting and credit card fraud, which is often connected to other types of crime Officers also receive de-escalation training on an ongoing basis While some of our training is through outside resources, much is taught with a train the trainer program, making it possible to keep up with new trends
