 A thoughtful reflection of 2011 reminds us all at the Savage Police Department that it was a year marked with impressive accomplishments. It was a busy year, and we are proud of all we were able to achieve in partnership with our community. The 2011 Annual Report highlights several significant accomplishments and the many tasks completed by the Savage Police Department during the calendar year.
I am proud to report that the national trend of reduction of violent crime continued in the City of Savage. One of the greatest intangibles is proactive law enforcement. While we don’t know how many crimes were not committed because our law enforcement initiatives have provided a deterrent to criminal activity, we are confident that our policing efforts are having a significant impact on the quality of life for our citizens.
We look forward to 2012 and the many challenges that will undoubtedly face the Department and the City. Budget challenges continue to drive our business decisions, but our goals remain the same. We are committed to providing the best possible service to our community in a responsible, accountable and cost effective manner while following the City Council’s vision for safe and secure neighborhoods in the City of Savage.
We would like to thank the Mayor, City Council members, the City Administrator and the community for your continued support of our mission.
As always, I would like to remind you that we can’t do it alone; we need your help. Remember to lock it, report suspicious activities and get involved in our community. I look forward to seeing you around our beautiful city.
“Our Community, Our Commitment” Rodney R. Seurer, Chief of Police

A record of each commendation is included in the personnel file of the officer. But more than the commendation itself, these letters provide a sample of the quality and variety of service that Savage Police Officers provide to the residents of Savage. Following are actual letters received by the Department, with names, addresses and other sensitive information removed from the letter as necessary to protect privacy. New Commendation letters will be replaced and updated on a regular basis. To view actual commendation letters, click on the links below:
