The East Bethel City Council convened for its regular meeting on November 25, 2024, beginning with the Pledge of Allegiance. The agenda was unanimously adopted, paving the way for a series of presentations, including a report from Anoka County Sheriff's Office representative, Deputy Derek Peters.

Deputy Peters reported a busy October for the Sheriff's Office, with a total of 516 calls for service, marking it as the second busiest month of the year. The department recorded one burglary, five thefts, and five damage to property incidents, alongside 29 custodial arrests and 200 traffic stops—the highest monthly total for traffic enforcement this year, resulting in 42 citations.

Notable incidents highlighted by Deputy Peters included a traffic stop that led to the arrest of a male with multiple warrants from San Diego County, and another stop where a driver was arrested for driving while impaired, with a blood alcohol content of 0.09. Additionally, two individuals with active warrants were apprehended at a residence after a brief surveillance operation.

The meeting underscored the ongoing efforts of local law enforcement to maintain public safety and address criminal activity within the community.
