Introducing Tracy Stille: LMCIT's New Public Safety Project Coordinator

The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) has selected Tracy Stille as their new public safety project coordinator following the recent retirement of Rob Boe. 

Tracy’s position focuses on risk management. He works with LMCIT’s loss control staff on monitoring and understanding the causes of public safety losses, developing new programs and trainings, sharing best practices to help reduce losses, and recommending new efforts and technological developments to keep public safety workers safe on the job and reduce liabilities. 

Tracy has worked for nearly 40 years in Minnesota public safety. He started his career as a law enforcement cadet in Hibbing in 1981. Initially hired by the Brownton Police Department, he also worked part time for several police departments in McLeod and Sibley Counties. Tracy was also a special deputy with the Sibley County Sheriff’s Office. He was then hired by the Maple Grove Police Department in Hennepin County, where he served in various positions throughout his career, including patrol officer, investigator, patrol sergeant, sergeant of investigations, services captain, and patrol captain. He is also a certified emergency manager with the State of Minnesota.

Tracy received his associate degree in law enforcement from Hibbing Community College, a bachelor’s degree in law enforcement from Mankato State University, and a master’s degree in criminal justice administration from St. Cloud State University, where he also taught criminal justice classes as an adjunct faculty member. He is also a graduate of the 212th session of the School of Police Staff and Command at the Northwestern University Center for Public Safety.

Tracy has previously worked for the League as a public safety loss control consultant for the past six years. “I was able to work with Rob, and he taught me a lot about the League of Minnesota Cities, as well as introduced me to many of the law enforcement leaders and professionals throughout Minnesota (and really across the nation in other insurance risk pools),” said Tracy. 

“I know I have some big shoes to fill, as Rob brought many years of public safety experience, project ideas, and momentum to this position. I appreciate this new opportunity, and my goals are to continue to strengthen the programs and relationships that have already been established, address any challenges for our members, and contribute to the many new police reform efforts that are currently in progress,” he said.

You may contact Tracy via email at tstille@lmc.org with any public safety concerns or issues that arise, or feel free to call him at (651) 215-4051.
