The national award recognizes the high marks residents gave police services and safety in the National Community Survey. The survey – commissioned by the city and conducted by the National Research Center in late 2019 – provides a comprehensive and statistically valid snapshot of resident perspectives on an array of local government services and issues. The Voice of the People Awards are the only national awards that recognize local governments based on feedback from residents. “It’s truly an honor to be recognized by our community,” said Mike Goldstein, public safety director and police chief. “To know that our community notices the differences we are making is significant. I am proud of the women and men who work hard to serve Plymouth professionally, and I know our personnel takes pride in the work they are doing.” Seeking continuous improvement The Plymouth Police Department strives to stay at the forefront of addressing policing concerns, engaging in meaningful conversations and promoting best practices locally, regionally and nationally. Goldstein said, “We are continually seeking to improve, engage and strengthen public trust. This award is a reminder of all that we have done and will do as we continue to evolve to meet the needs of our community.” The Police Department has embraced the 21st Century Policing Model. The model focuses on building trust and legitimacy, aligning policies with community values, leveraging technology and social media, community policing and crime reduction, and officer education, safety, training and wellness. The Police Department emphasizes officer training. The department provides officers with nearly 10 times the state requirement for police officer training. Minnesota requires 48 hours of training every three years. Plymouth officers participate in an average of 130 hours of training annually. -30 - City of Plymouth News Release For Immediate Release Oct. 15, 2020 Contact: Katie Yandell Recreation Supervisor City of Plymouth 763-509-5222 kyandell@plymouthmn.gov City calls for volunteers to write letters of appreciation to veterans Plymouth, Minn. – With Veterans Day fast approaching, the City of Plymouth seeks volunteers to write letters of thanks and appreciation to veterans.

Plymouth-based Urotronic will receive $15 million from Burlington, Mass.- based Laborie; Urotronic's previous investors, which include the Mayo Clinic and Hillhouse Capital Group of China, put in an additional $5 million. As part of the deal, Laborie has the option to exclusively license Urotronic's Optilume device for $165 million if the device receives FDA approval. It can also acquire the company outright for $350 million plus another $150 million for reaching sales milestones. Urotronic President and CEO described Laborie as a "global distribution partner" in a statement. Urotronic's Optilume is a drug-coated balloon that's used to treat enlarged prostates and other male urinary tract issues. It has already been approved for sale in Europe, Canada and New Zealand. "Optilume is a disruptive, minimally invasive technology that has the potential to change the standard of care for urethral strictures and for BPH. This innovative technology meets multiple unmet medical needs in the market, expands Laborie's current urology offering, and aligns well with our desire to help clinicians improve their patients' lives," Michael Frazzette, Laborie's president and CEO, said in a statement. Urotronic raised $20 million in 2018 to expand its at-the-time 14-person staff and continue developing Optilume. It was founded by Lutonix Inc. co-founder Lixiao Wang, who sold Lutonix for $225 million in 2011. Urotronic could not be reached for comment.
