🐾 COYOTE AWARENESS REMINDER 🐾

We have recently received reports of two separate coyote attacks involving dogs in different areas of our city. Thankfully, both dogs survived and are recovering.

Coyotes are a natural part of our environment and can be found throughout the city. While sightings are not uncommon, it's important to take precautions to keep your pets safe.

🐕 Tips to Protect Your Pets:
• Keep dogs on a leash when walking.
• Avoid allowing pets to roam unattended, especially at dawn and dusk.
• Keep cats indoors whenever possible.
• Remove outdoor food sources such as pet food, bird seed, and unsecured garbage.
• If you encounter a coyote, make yourself appear large, be loud, and slowly back away while maintaining eye contact.

Coyotes can be found in any neighborhood, so awareness and prevention are key. By taking a few simple precautions, you can help keep your pets safe while coexisting with local wildlife.

If you observe aggressive coyote behavior, please report it to Animal Control at 952-563-4942.

Stay safe, Bloomington! 🐾

What could the future of emergency response look like? 🚁

Beginning May 18, the City of Bloomington will launch a two-week test and demonstration period exploring Drone as First Responder Technology and how it could support City operations in the future.

Bloomington Police and Fire, along with several other City departments, are partnering on the effort as part of a broader regional exploration happening across Twin Cities metro communities.

Curious how it works and what’s being tested?

Chief Hodges provides update from a shooting that occurred May 4th, 2026.

Parties involved were locked up. Don’t come to the Orange Jumpsuit District and think you are going to get away. We have some of the best investigators around.

Have a great weekend. Be safe, and remember we are here for you.

During National Police Week, Chief Hodges shared a heartfelt message recognizing the dedication, sacrifice, and service of law enforcement officers everywhere.

In light of the recent attacks on officers here locally, Chief Hodges also expressed support for the Richfield Police Department and the officers involved in the recent officer-involved shooting. Incidents like these are a sobering reminder of the risks officers face each day while serving their communities.

We also want to recognize and thank the families behind the badge. Your support, sacrifice, patience, and strength make it possible for our officers to continue serving others every day.

To all who serve, and to the families who stand beside them, thank you. Your commitment to protecting our communities is deeply appreciated, not just during Police Week, but every day of the year.

We’re excited to share a new tool we’re using to better understand traffic patterns across Bloomington.

Urban SDK helps us look at:
• real driving speeds
• areas with recurring speeding concerns
• traffic patterns by time of day
• data that can help validate community complaints

The system uses third-party traffic data that shows overall driving patterns and does not identify individual vehicles.

This gives us a better understanding of where traffic concerns are happening so enforcement and traffic safety efforts can be more focused and data-informed.

We’re also exploring how this information could eventually become available in a public-facing version so residents could better understand traffic patterns on their own streets.

What traffic concerns do you notice most often in your neighborhood?
