In response to the ever-changing challenges we face
today regarding changes in crime here in SE Minnesota,
combined with the need to take on a more proactive
approach to crime, the Sheriff’s Office implemented
a Crime Prevention Unit in July of 2002 to enhance
and improve the department’s existing Community
Policing philosophy.
Some of the Crime Prevention Unit’s
responsibilities include; acting as a liaison between
the department and the county’s six city councils,
managing Disorderly Use Ordinance and other Community
Crime Prevention Programs, providing Crime Prevention
Seminars for civic organizations, senior groups, community
education, etc., and department web site management.
The goal of these new proactive programs is to help
educate the public on how to better protect themselves
and what types of activity to watch for and report.
Developing a stronger partnership that actively involves
the local communities, its residents, and the Sheriff’s
Office is key to reducing the threat of crime and making
communities safer and more secure.
The Deputy currently
assigned to Crime Prevention is Deputy Dave Crable.
You can contact Deputy Crable in the Crime Prevention
Unit at 507-635-6222 ext. 1360 or email dave.crable@co.dodge.mn.us.
