Keep on Keeping On…..

I got this message this evening. I omitted a sentence to protect the identity of the writer:

“Comment: I just want to say thanks for making our community a safer place to live. I am relieved that you captured one of the two suspects in the attempted kidnapping and assault…I have some understanding of the dedication and work your job entails. Thank you for doing it well.”

I always appreciate people taking the time to write and it means a lot to know you make a difference. The comment above is reflective of each member of the Northfield Police Department. Each person works very hard to do an excellent job.

The following comment from Officer Monte Nelson who is currently assigned to Investigations about the activities this past week pretty much sums up an average week for us.

Kudos to all the hard work we accomplished this week!!!!!!!!!!

Thad (School Resource Officer Thad Monroe) cleared the Middle School Vandalism case and will refer the case to the County.

Thad (Thad Monroe) got confessions from (subject of investigation – name omitted) in the Rice Co. Jail and will clear two felony cases as a result. He also recovered some stolen property from the suspect at the jail

JD (Officer Jim Frie)swiftly took care of a felony check forgery case.

Kevin………………(Officer Kevin Tussing)Gave everyone working days a cardio test. We were able to arrest the guy who ran from him. With the help of Deputy Schmidtke he was ID’ed and jailed on his three outstanding warrants.

We got one of our two suspects from the St. Olaf CSC/Attempted Abduction cases!

This is a good week. I know I missed other fine work that was done, but these cases were stuck out as some highlights for the week. Great job everyone.
