As summer ends and students start to head back to school, safety is critical for those
walking, biking, or taking the bus. Pedestrian and cyclist crashes with vehicles are rising,
and they most often happen where people feel safest: crossings controlled by stop signs
or signals. The Sheriff’s Office urges everyone to keep these tips in mind:
DRIVERS
• Stop completely at least
10 feet from crosswalks or
one full car length from
pedestrians.
• Look right before turning
right.
• Watch for people
approaching from behind or
the opposite direction when
turning.
• Give cyclists at least three
feet when passing.
• Slow for school buses with
yellow flashing lights, and
STOP for red flashing lights
and cross arm. It’s state law!
PEDESTRIANS
• Obey all traffic signals,
signs, and barricades.
• Make eye contact with
drivers.
• Treat each lane as a
separate risk when crossing.
• Use sidewalks and paths;
if unavailable, walk against
traffic.
• Wear reflective gear or
carry a light in the dark.
BICYCLISTS
• Ride in the direction of
traffic when on roads or
shoulders.
• Obey all traffic signs and
signals; treat stop signs as
yields only if the
intersection is clear.
• Signal when turning, if
able.
• Use lights and reflectors
in low light.
Everyone shares the road. Stay alert, be visible, and be
predictable.

At 9:04am on July 9, a patrol deputy clearing a call at a business was
approached by an individual who wanted to report possible animal
maltreatment. While on a home services call to the residence, the
person had seen a large number of dogs being held in crates,
including one that was possibly deceased. The person reported foul
living conditions, as well as overwhelming odor. The deputy
contacted Companion Animal Control, which confirmed the resident
had an interim use permit for a commercial kennel, spelling out
specific conditions for keeping multiple dogs. The deputy and CAC
met at the residence to conduct an inspection due to possible
violations of those conditions. The resident reluctantly granted
access. Ultimately, CAC determined the dogs were being neglected
due to poor living conditions and inadequate care. All 27 dogs were
removed from the property. No deceased dog was found. The
resident was provided with seizure paperwork and instructions for
the appeals process.

We’ve now passed that turn in summer specific to our county, with the end of
the Washington County Fair. We thank all of you who stopped by to visit our
booth and connected with us, checked out our new Mobile Command vehicle
and watched our amazing K9 team demonstrations.
Summer may be coming to an end, but things don’t slow down for us here at
the Sheriff’s Office. In early July, deputies alerted the East Metro Human
Trafficking Task Force to investigate the case of a 14-year-old girl brought to
one of our communities, and subsequently several other young girls, which led
to the arrests and charging of two men.
Our deputies on the Washington County Drug Task Force have been steadily
interrupting the flow of narcotics and guns into our communities. Seizures as of
July 1 included 7.1 kilograms of marijuana, 1.4 kilos of cocaine, 4.45 kilos of
methamphetamine, ¾ pound of fentanyl powder, 495 doses of hallucinogens
and 16 firearms. One highlight: the Drug Task Force had information about a
vehicle coming from Chicago with fentanyl powder. The vehicle was stopped in
Lake Elmo; ½ pound of fentanyl was seized and two arrests were made.
And, on July 30, the WCSO Community Impact Unit teamed up for speed
enforcement with agencies in Dakota, Ramsey, Anoka, Chisago, Isanti, Pine and
Kanabec counties. With a goal of reducing some of the unsafe driving behavior
we see daily, the results were notable: 75 officers made 645 stops, and WCSO
wrote 28 citations in four hours, including a driver going 91mph in a 60 zone.
We hope you enjoy these last weeks of summer, in safety and with the
knowledge that our dedicated team of professionals is always on the clock, no
matter what the season.
