LAW ENFORCEMENT/FIRE DEPARTMENT UPDATE.
Lt. Jeff Enevold: Good evening Mr. Mayor, council. I got a short power point for you here and I also
have our School Resource Officer, Bob Zydowsky who’s going to give an update on the 2013/2014
school year. Just wanted to update you on National Night Out. Before we got to National Night Out Beth
came into my office a couple weeks before and said what can we do to kind of make things new and make
things a little bit more exciting on National Night Out. So I thought about it and I said to Beth, why don’t
we implement some of the programs that we’ve done in our Citizens Academy and bring them out to the
neighborhoods and see what they think about it so one of the things we did here is we purchased a mat
that goes with the DWI goggles that you have to walk down and this was really a big hit in some of the
neighborhoods. Some of the kids got involved. You’ll see some of the, and some of the kids just goofed
around and played on it. Some other things that we implemented were, we talked about let’s bring the
taser out there so we got a cardboard target. We brought the tasers out and we let some of the folks shoot
some training rounds and we also brought out our preliminary breath test which gives you an alcohol
reading and we showed them how to use that and we brought some Bianca in case anybody didn’t have
any beers at their party so brought some Bianca and kind of showed them how that worked and it was
pretty successful. I mean I think they really enjoyed it and it kind of gives them a feel of some of the
things that we do and changes things up a little bit so. And then we also showed off the squad cars that
we have. We’ve got some great equipment in there and hopefully that’s a recruit we got sitting behind the
wheel there so. And then you can see some more, Sergeant Bromwell was at this neighborhood and I
think Todd and Laurie were with John so great, great event. Then you can see how National Night Out
ended there. The Chanhassen storm rolled in and kind of put a damper on things so we had to call it quits
early. And I’ll ask Bob to come up here and kind of give his update on the upcoming school year in the
Chanhassen High School.
Bob Zydowsky: Thank you Mayor.
Mayor Furlong: Good evening.
Bob Zydowsky: City Council for having me. I guess I’m just going to kind of go through some of the
things I do to get ready for school. You know there was a buzz today at school, the teachers are back.
They’re getting their bulletin boards ready and it’s alive and well at Chanhassen High School but you
know some of the things I’ve done this past year in January, the 3 of us always attend a conference in
Duluth. Minnesota Juvenile Officers Association. There’s about 250 officers that attend that so it’s a
great conference to network with other SRO’s from different communities. Kind of talk about how
they’re doing different types of things. This year in January if we’re approved to go there so I can do
some live exercises with lockdowns and those sorts of things. This past February I attended a Prepare
class, kind of a crisis prevention and a preparedness with school safety planning. That was sponsored
through the school district. And in early June Mental Health for Teens was sponsored by the Carver
