Please join us in congratulating our newest Officers Kvitek, Hitt, and Cooper on their official swearing in ceremony! These three officers were apart of the Intensive Comprehensive Peace Officer Education and Training program (ICPOET). This program allows individuals, with a degree in any field, to undergo the required police officer education and training through an accelerated process.

Officers Kvitek, Hitt, and Cooper have been working patrol for several months now and have already made a positive impact in the community and department. We are excited to have all three officers apart of the Hopkins Police Department!

Join us this week in recognizing National Police Week. We take this time to honor and remember those officers who made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their lives in the line of duty. We also want to recognize the hard work and dedication of all officers, both active and retired, as well as their families who have sacrificed time with them so they can keep us safe.

The Hopkins Police Department thanks all hardworking officers for their service to the community!

This afternoon, officers were called to the area of 7th St S and 9th Ave S for a report of a weapon and threats of harm. This incident prompted a large law enforcement response. Shortly after arriving, officers determined the call was false. There is no threat to the public. This incident is being investigated as a "swatting" call.

Hopkins Police continue their tradition of technical avian rescue! PSO Hartfiel and Officer Martin learned that a group of ducklings were stuck in a storm drain. PSO Hartfiel descended into the sewers and rescued the ducklings with Officer Martin's assistance. The ducklings were reunited with their mother, who seemed thankful for the help!
