OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE <br /> <br />This section will review the ongoing administrative issues and meetings during the <br />month. This includes meetings, policy issues, ordinance changes, and personnel issues. <br />And, this also includes meetings of a county wide, regional, and/or statewide basis on <br />public safety related issues. <br /> <br />Public Safety has identified 15 police officers with availability to work at various times <br />during the 10 days of Super Bowl related events next January 26 through February 4 and <br />has submitted our information to Minneapolis PD who will be compiling a final staffing <br />plan. <br /> <br />Public Safety hosted the monthly meeting of the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office <br />Chaplains. Director Paetznick and New Brighton Faith Community Liaison Officer Matt <br />Farmer attended the gathering of chaplains and law enforcement representatives from <br />other agencies. <br /> <br />The now 3-year partnership among New Brighton, Mounds View, Maplewood, and <br />Ramsey County to share a joint RMS through vendor Zuercher Technologies will soon be <br />bolstered with the addition of the St. Paul Police Department. This will greatly enhance <br />law enforcement information sharing across the county. <br /> <br />Deputy Director Hamdorf and Director Paetznick joined a group of more than 50 law <br />enforcement leaders from the State of Minnesota and over 10,000 attendees from around <br />the world who attended the 124th Annual Conference and Exposition of the International <br />Association of Chiefs of Police in Philadelphia. New York Times best-selling author <br />Simon Sinek was the keynote speaker at the Opening Ceremony. United States Attorney <br />Jeff Sessions was also a featured presenter during the General Assembly meeting. The <br />conference offered more than 140 educational workshops, with New Brighton officials <br />attending many focused on body worn cameras, police officer recruitment/retention, and <br />other law enforcement leadership issues. <br /> <br />The MCPA Board of Directors has appointed New Brighton Public Safety Director Tony <br />Paetznick as its Chaplain. He replaces long-time MCPA Chaplain and retired Eden <br />Prairie Police Chief Dan Carlson who served in that capacity for nearly a dozen years. <br />(Pastor Dan has also served as agency Chaplain for New Brighton Public Safety for the <br />past few years.) In his role as MCPA Chaplain, Director Paetznick will be bringing the <br />local New Brighton Faith Community Partnership model to this statewide organization to <br />develop a similar framework of spiritual care for Police Chiefs and law enforcement <br />across the State of Minnesota. In addition, he will provide ceremonial Chaplain duties at <br />association meetings and trainings, and coordinate spiritual care and support services for <br />members of the association. <br />
