The Southeast Minnesota Violent Crime Enforcement Team (SEMVCET) is a multi-jurisdictional narcotics and violent crime unit that shares the common goal of disrupting/destroying illegal drugs, gang activity, and violent crimes in Southeast Minnesota. The benefit of a multi-jurisdictional task force is that it allows law enforcement agencies in different jurisdictions to work together as a single enforcement entity with the ability to share intelligence and coordinate enforcement activities.

What is Predatory Offender Registration?

Since 1991 Minnesota Law has required individuals convicted of certain crimes to register their address and other pertinent data with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. The law has been changed and enhanced since. This is an essential tool for law enforcement agencies across the state to aid in the investigation and monitoring of these offenders.

The Patrol Division has 37 full-time licensed deputies and is made up of one Captain and six platoons directed by a Sergeant with five deputies. The platoons work twelve-hour shifts that rotate from days to nights every two months. The Patrol Division is supplemented by COPS deputies in Stewartville, Byron, Eyota, and the Townships of Rochester, Cascade, and Haverhill. Additionally, two deputies are assigned as School Resource Deputies in Byron and Dover-Eyota Schools. Four more deputies work two power shifts that rotate to cover the evening shift change periods.
