Last Friday was a pretty awesome day for some of our Osseo Area Schools D.A.R.E. students! 🎉

Students wrapped up the week with lunch with Chief Werner at Angeno's Maple Grove Pizza — complete with pinball, games, and plenty of fun — alongside our D.A.R.E. officers. The day also included a tour of the police department, a chance to check out squad cars and equipment, and even time spent in the Chief’s office. Safe to say there were lots of smiles, laughs, and great conversations throughout the day!

Building positive relationships and investing in our youth is one of the best parts of what we do. 💙

Congratulations to all of our 2026 D.A.R.E. students — we’re proud of you and excited to see all the great things ahead!

Officer Fillingane, Officer Jarmuzek, and Commander Pobuda had the honor of participating in standing guard at the Law Enforcement Memorial in St. Paul on May 15. They were able to take part in a meaningful wreath-laying ceremony honoring a fallen St. Paul police officer. The officer’s loved ones were present as the wreath was placed and taps were played — a powerful reminder of the sacrifice made by law enforcement families across the country.

Officer Fillingane continues to represent the Maple Grove Police Department with tremendous dedication and professionalism. After returning from the Law Enforcement United memorial ride in Washington, D.C. the day before, he immediately continued supporting Minnesota Law Enforcement Memorial Association’s responsibilities at the memorial.

We are grateful for the opportunity to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice and proud of the commitment shown by our officers.
