By MATT PIKE St. Joseph Post The St. Joseph Police Departments new Crime Prevention Officer is working hard to fill the shoes of his predecessor. Seargent Matt Kneib took over as Crime Prevention Officer when Roy Hoskins retired from the department. Kneib says taking over for Hoskins is some big shoes to fill. Kneib says one of his biggest jobs as Crime Prevention Officer is working to educate the public. "Then also, looking at our plan of action to try to help the public to deter crimes from occurring," Kneib tells KFEQ Hotline host Barry Birr. Kneib says he works with individuals in the public as well as business owners. "Doing surveys of their business, how it's laid out, some ideas of conformity to better secure their buildings, and ways to make it safer," Kneib explains. Kneib says for one of these surveys you can contact his office or you contact the police station. Kneib says one way he works to educate people is with the Cops Care Youth Camp next month.
A memorial service has been set for Friday at 3 p.m. at Civic Center Park.

Roy Hoskins, SJPD said. That s something that we pride ourselves on is internal support of each other.
The department is still mourning the loss of Max, the K-9 officer killed in the line of duty last week. People in general love dogs to begin with, Hoskins said. Police dogs are very special.
