SUBJECT: Police Department Workplace Safety Presentation
DATE: March 10, 2014
INTRODUCTION
Farmington Police Officers Andrew Van Dorn and Matt Hendrickson will be presenting
information on workplace safety at your March 2014 work session.
DISCUSSION
The Farmington Police Department requested time on your work session agenda to discuss the
workplace safety issue. According to the officers who will be presenting, as a result of heavy
media coverage most people think of schools as the primary location of active shooter
incidences. Contrary to that opinion, schools are statistically safer from violence than the average
workplace.
With this information in mind we have invited the City Council along with all of our other
boards and commissions to hear the presentation that will be made by our officers. This
presentation has already been provided to city staff members. This is an example of the public
outreach that council has encouraged our departments to perform.
BUDGET IMPACT
NA
ACTION REQUESTED
Hear the presentation provided by the Farmington Police Department and ask any questions you
may have.
Respectfully submitted,
David J. McKnight
City Administrator
