National Night Out is Tuesday, Aug. 3!
You can help to fight crime in Hennepin County! Join me and the folks from the Sheriff’s Office, local law enforcement, businesses, civic groups, and your neighbors in recognizing National Night Out on August 3, 2010. Last year 36 million people in communities in all 50 states, Canada, and military bases around the world participated in local events to:- Raise awareness about crime and drug prevention
- Generate support for and participation in local anti-crime programs
- Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships
- Send a message to criminals to let them know that neighborhoods are organized and will fight back
2010 will be the 25th Anniversary of National Night Out, and I will be participating in events across Hennepin County, including the Wayzata Crime Prevention Luncheon and the events at Waite Park. National Night Out is a fun way to participate in your community, to take a stand in support of Public Safety, and to fight crime; I hope to see you as I am out and about that evening. Please be sure to stop me and say hello.

Coleman shows support for Sheriff Stanek
On Thursday, May 6th, Senator Norm Coleman welcomed supporters of Sheriff Stanek's re-election campaign at Bobby and Steve's Auto World in Minneapolis. It was a great night as Senator Coleman was incredible and the weather held up nicely!
A Commitment to Public Safety
I first became a police officer in 1984 and I’ve served in law enforcement for over half my life (25 years!). Technology has changed so much in that time; just think back to typewritten police reports filed in triplicate. Our uniforms and equipment have changed. But in my view the most important aspects have never changed:
The best law enforcement officers respect the rights and dignity of all residents, and protect the integrity of law enforcement by upholding both the spirit and the letter of the law.
The best law enforcement officers are connected to the community and work closely with community leaders. The best law enforcement officers view their work not simply as a profession, but as a public service. The best law enforcement officers continue to learn and improve in their work and find ways to educate others about law enforcement.
I am proud to serve as Sheriff of Hennepin County, and hope to earn your support for re-election in 2010.
