Prepared By
Stacy Carlson, Chief of Police
Summary
On November 6, 2012 Cammunity Service Officer(CSO) Scott Peterson was off duty and called
911 to report a suspicious male he had observed attempting to gain entry into vehicles parked in
the Golden Valley library parking lot. CSO Peterson continued to observe the suspect until
officers were able to locate and confront the suspect. The suspect admitted to looking for loose
change in unlocked vehicles as he walked to work, and was referred to court on charges of
tampering with motor vehicles.
CSO Peterson's attention to detail and dedication to service even while off duty is to be
commended. Without his great work, the suspect would have likely continued his efforts to steal
from victims whose vehicles were not secured.
Recommended Action
Police Chief Stacy Carlson presents a Certificate of Excellence to Community Service Officer Scott
Peterson.
