CHIEF OF POLICE
The Lester Prairie Police Department is a
proactive police department involved in
Community Oriented Policing Services. The
department has three full-time police offi cers
and three active part-time police offi cers. The
police department is responsible to the citizens of
Lester Prairie 365 days a year, 24 hours a day and
seven days a week. Part-time offi cers worked an
average of seven shifts a month. Part-time offi cers
are needed to fi ll in for vacation, training, special
summer shifts and sick time. The part-time offi cers
have also been used for special activities (i.e.
Prairie Days and Festivals) and emergencies (i.e.
missing persons and suicides).
As the Chief of Police I am responsible for
the administration of the department. I work a
regular patrol shift during the day, teach Drug
Abuse Resistance Education (5th and 8th grade)
during the school year, serve as the school liaison
offi cer, and work with the City Council and
Safe. Comfortable. Affordable.
