  "Special Olympics is obviously very near and dear to a lot of people, but especially pulls at the heartstrings of law enforcement because of the strength, determination and endurance that it requires from the Special Olympic athletes," Severson said.

  Dave Severson, Osage Beach Police Chief, said between the relatively few registered sex offenders and the low numbers of kids who walk door-to-door, it won't be that hard for his officers to drive by and check on those who should be following the basics of the law.

  Osage Beach Department of Public Safety Chief Dave Severson said the department will be increasing officers on patrol to deter drivers from drinking. In the past two years Severson has worked for the department, the city has had one fatal traffic accident per year. They have both been single-vehicle accidents and the driver was suspected of driving while intoxicated. Thus far this year, Osage Beach hasn't had a single fatal accident, and they would like to keep it that way, Severson said. Also, the number and severity of injuries sustained in vehicle accidents is low compared to the actual number of accidents, Severson added. It's another sign that drivers are slowing down, wearing their seat belts and staying alert on the road. It's a trend law enforcement agencies in the area don't want to see slip as the new year approaches. "We want to send the message to always drink responsible," Severson said.

  Osage Beach Police Chief Dave Severson said the police department responds to a number of calls each week reporting intoxicated drivers on the roadways.
  
  Lowering the drinking age to 18 would increase the number of people alcohol is available to, and increase the number of calls the police department would have to respond to, Severson said.
  
  There would be more sexual assaults, more bar fights, DWIs and more alcohol-related accidents on the roadways, Severson said, listing off several consequences.
  
  "That population age makes bad decisions to begin with.When you give them the okay to walk into a bar or purchase alcohol, you are giving them more of an opportunity to overindulge and participate in other risky behaviors," Severson said.
  
  Severson believes there are many people who don't participate in illegal activities for the simple reason that it is against the law.
  
  "The entire culture will change if you now say that it is legal to drink.You're saying that it is okay," Severson said.

  "Residents are often afraid to report crime information because they fear reprisal from the person they are reporting," according to Osage Beach Police Chief Dave Severson. We-Tip gives community members an opportunity to give information without fear.We-Tip is being made available through Marcit, a risk pool of public entities to which Osage Beach belongs.While conducting our investigation into the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of Brandi Mathews, it became apparent that some people with information were reluctant to come forward even with an assurance of confidentiality," Severson said.
  ...
  According to Severson, We-Tip information is immediately conveyed to the appropriate police, fire and sherriff's agency.After the information is taken, if the informant requests a reward, a code name and number are assigned to the informant. By using the We-Tip system, Severson said the caller always remains absolutely anonymous, not just confidential. Cash rewards of up to $1,000 are given upon verified reports from law enforcement that the We-Tip information was received prior to the arrest and that the information was helpful in the arrest and conviction. The reward drop is made at a designated postal location, using the assigned code name and case numbers.No personal contact is ever made with the informant, he said. The We-Tip Hotline is staffed 365 days a year, 24 hours a day at the We-Tip call center by trained professional operators, including accessible Spanish speaking operators and Voice/TDD equipment for the hearing impaired.Individuals can also report crime tips via the Internet at the We-Tip Web site.Severson said residents can call the We-Tip number 24 hours a day and report concerns to We-Tip. 800-78-CRIME or 800-782-7463 or www.wetip.com.Contact this reporter at joycem@lakesunleader.com

  Osage Beach Police Chief Dave Severson said officers responded to an alarm call at the Perfumania store around 12:44 a.m. where burglars had cut a hole in the roof to gain entry into the store. Severson said the alarm may have been triggered when the burglars cut the telephone and power lines leading into the store.According to Severson, they cut through the plywood, tarpaper and metal supports in the roof.They then used a rope ladder to drop down into the store where they attempted to disable the alarm.In the six minutes that elapsed between the time the alarm was triggered and police arrived, the burglars fled the building. They left behind an assortment of tools, several sets of footprints and blood from where at least one suspect is believed to have cut their hand as they were going down the ladder into the store. An inventory turned up no missing merchandise.The alarm may have scared them off before they got around to lifting any of the inventory, Severson said.Roof jobs are rare. They tend to take quite a bit of time and effort. Evidence that has been sent to the Missouri Highway Patrol crime lab for analysis indicates there were at least two if not three suspects involved, he said.
