ATTACHMENTS: Worksheet APPROVED BY: LJM
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to accept donation in the amount of $1200 from a
resident in Rosemount to be utilized for officer wellness programming.
BACKGROUND
The Police Equipment Fund has been set up for the purpose of receiving donations that are designated for
the Police Department. Expenditures from this account are only made after approval is received from the
City Council.
In June of 2020, Officers were dispatched to a call of a 33-year-old male who was unconscious and not
breathing. Unfortunately, the male was beyond the help of life-saving measures and was pronounced
deceased at the scene. It was learned that the male had struggled with addiction for some time, and
information was received later from the medical examiner’s office that the immediate cause of death was
“acute fentanyl toxicity.” Officers worked through this difficult time with the family and assisted with
providing resources and answering questions during their time of grief and loss.
The family contacted the police department and asked to donate the remaining funds in their son’s
account to the police department to help officers. Specifically, they mentioned how grateful they were for
the officers and the help that was provided to their family.
The Council is asked to accept the donation from this family in the amount of $1200. The donation was
made to the Rosemount Police Department to help cover expenses related to improving and/or enhancing
officer wellness.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the acceptance of the donation and authorization of the expenditure for officer wellness
programming.
