We grieve with Burnsville's public safety agencies following today's devastating news. We extend our deepest condolences to the loved ones of Paul Elmstrand, Matthew Ruge and Adam Finseth. “Our folks come to work every day and are willing to give the ultimate sacrifice of their life, but no one expects it to happen. It’s a tragic day. We are all grieving, and we are all trying to understand what happened and why.” Burnsville Fire Chief BJ Jungmann “We go to work every day knowing that it’s a possibility we’ll lose our life to protect yours. And we still show up. It’s something you won’t understand unless you do it.” Burnsville Police Chief Tanya Schwartz

Congratulations to two of our law enforcement supervisors for graduating from National Command & Staff College, a graduate-level leadership education program. Sgt. Jon Swenson and Sgt. Caleb Tesdahl successfully completed the intensive program and received their Certification of Command Staff & Leadership. The program blended 240 hours of online learning and 80 hours of classroom learning. It included essays, discussion boards, case studies, a final exam and a capstone research project. Both supervisors completed their research project on officer wellness. Chief Jim Franklin shares, “Rochester Police Department is committed to continuous improvement, and that is reflected in the accomplishments of Sgt. Swenson and Sgt. Tesdahl. Not only do they demonstrate a dedication to individual excellence but also organizational effectiveness.” The classroom learning took place in Orange Beach, AL and concluded with a graduation ceremony on January 26.

Rochester Police Department (RPD) is launching a new recruitment video to attract police officer applicants and fill anticipated vacancies. RPD expects to have at least a dozen police officer job openings in 2024 because of upcoming retirements. Like law enforcement agencies across the nation, RPD has seen a significant decrease in police officer applicants the last five years. In 2023, the department received 54 applications compared to 96 in 2018. Chief Jim Franklin shares, “The recruitment video captures some of what makes our city and the Rochester Police Department so special. It highlights how we take care of our officers so they can provide exceptional public services to our community. We hope that people share the video and help us recruit officers to our team.” RPD has an authorized strength of 150 sworn officers and currently has a total of 144.

In 2022, overdoses jumped 29% in Rochester, and officers administered Narcan 49 times. We were glad to help with this valuable training course.
PATROL (Peace officer Accredited TRaining OnLine) filmed their latest training course in Rochester this week. A new law requires Minnesota's law enforcement agencies to treat opioid overdoses in the field with medications like Naloxone (Narcan), so we're ensuring officers get the training they need. Special thanks to the Mayo Clinic and the Rochester Police Department for assisting with this course.
