One community, many colors: Students honored at annual poster contest
Protect and serve Unless the judge delays it, next week begins the televised trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged with the killing of George Floyd. His death on Chicago Avenue still echoes across the country, and puts Chauvin and a metro police department on trial for use of force. In the northeast suburbs, neighborhood policing is routine. Many suburban departments are using this time to examine how they train and restrain. Press Publications asked six local and county departments about how they train and policies on restraining to give suburban residents perspective how local police departments respond.

Twenty area fourth graders were honored at a recent Shoreview City Council meeting for their submissions to “One Community of Many Colors” poster contest. The contest, which typically coincides with Martin Luther King Day, is focused on celebrating diversity throughout the Shoreview community. Students are asked to create posters that show people of different races and cultures interacting positively together. The contest, now in its 27th year, was established in 1994 by the Shoreview Human Rights Committee. Of the 150 submissions, the committee selected 10 finalists and 10 honorable mentions. The top three finalists are as follows: • First place: Simon Olson, Island Lake Elementary SEE POSTER CONTEST, PAGE 10

Past trainings have included suicidal role players where the deputy is tasked with using verbal communication skills to assist the person with getting the medical help they need and voluntarily going to the hospital. We stress care, compassion, and empathy in these incidents. We have several deputies that have completed a 35-hour crisis intervention course and have become certified crisis intervention team members through
