4,381 Incidents Were Recorded For The Year 2004 Minnesota State Statue, Chapter 299C.06, requires all law enforcement agencies to furnish statistics and information regarding the number of crimes reported and discovered, arrests made, complaints, information and incidents files along with dispositions. Minnesota State Statue, Chapter 299C,12, requires law enforcement officers/agencies to keep a permanent written record, in a form prescribed by the State Commissioner of Public Safety, of all felonies, warrants issued in relation to the commission of felony, statements of the facts and description of the offender if known, method of operation, and action taken by the officer and any other information that the superintendent may require. Local law enforcement has a greater responsibility to the community beyond that required by statute. The primary purpose of municipal law enforcement is to provide professional service in keeping with the expectations of our society and the needs of the community.
