Allina is the first ambulance service in the nation to put this regulator, which is now FDA <br /> approved, into service. <br /> Last Saturday, Allina ran a disaster drill at Federal Cartridge; the scenario was a two bus crash <br /> and then an Amtrak collision. It was a really good drill and was good to work together with so <br /> many different agencies. This drill really tested the ability to communicate and it was flawless. <br /> Mr. Matteson reported Allina Medical will change its name to Allina Health EMS with new <br /> patches, a new logo and new graphics. <br /> C. Volunteers in Public Safety (VIPS) <br /> No report. <br /> D. Public Safety/Homeland Security Update <br /> Director Jacobson reported Officer Trevor Hamdorf has been deployed twice this month to assist <br /> other Agencies in need. He assisted the Sartell Fire Department with the Verso Paper Mill fire in <br /> early June. And he is now assisting Carlton County in their EOC helping them with the flood <br /> operations. Carlton County and Duluth will coordinate debris clearing this Sunday thru Tuesday. <br /> The New Brighton Department of Public Safety passed the century mark and have now run 102 <br /> marathons after Firefighter Andy Vik, Firefighter Matt Farmer and Director Jacobson completed <br /> Grandma's Marathon. <br /> Det. Sypniewski began his duties as our newest Detective on June 1st. One of his first cases was <br /> the bank robbery at US Bank. He is working with the FBI and the investigation is continuing; <br /> there are good photos of the suspect and we have leads. <br /> The Fire Division collected more than $11,000 in three days of"Fill the Boot"with those <br /> donations going to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Brian Crocker coordinated the event. <br /> Eleven members of Public Safety ran in the annual Law Enforcement Torch run; proceeds <br /> benefit the Special Olympics. Officer Ted Layton coordinated our participation. New Brighton <br /> DPS had the most number of runners for an agency of our size. <br /> Officers Tom Griffin and Matt Voeller and Allina paramedics assisted in the delivery of a baby <br /> boy. A Stork Award will be coming soon! <br /> Commissioner Bredenbeck noted on the Criminal Activity report that burglaries are up and <br /> hazardous moving violations are up. Director Jacobson noted the increase in burglaries is <br /> usually due to a garage door being left open so he would like to remind people to take <br /> precautions against these crimes. The increase in hazardous moving violations is due to officers <br /> being active working traffic; but some of this increase is due to grant funded programs. <br /> Council Liaison <br /> A.
