November Update
These are some of the issues we are currently dealing with:
1) A ten day suspension of an SRT member is going to arbitration.
2) The unilateral pulling of our breakfasts is headed to arbitration as a past practice violation.
3) We are working to get the Sheriff's Office to implement the Blood Borne Pathogens Bill that took effect July 1st, 2006.
4) We are representing a few members in internal affairs investigations.
Reminder: There are 65 cameras and an unknown amount of microphones monitoring our every move and word 24 hours a day. These can, and have been obtained by the public.
Important:
Do not go to Internal Affairs without a steward.
Do not talk to an investigator without a Team Legal lawyer.

Rich Stanek Wins Hennepin County Sheriff's Race
Rich Stanek has won the race for Hennepin County Sheriff. Come January he will occupy room 6 as our new boss. There will be a learning curve for Sheriff Stanek. There are marked differences between a police agency like the MPD he comes from, and the functions of the Sheriff's Office. Let's work together to make this a smooth and fruitful transition.
