We have scooped up a sweet opportunity for the kids in our community this summer!

Summer 2026
I GOT CAUGHT!
Youth Roadway Safety Campaign

Kids out riding bikes, scooters, skates, skateboards, e-bikes, electric scooters, & doing it right (helmet on & following the rules of the road) may get CAUGHT by one of our officers!

Instead of a call to a parent or a ticket... They will score a FREE kids scoop coupon to Wayzata Ben & Jerry's!

Wayzata Police Department cares about youth roadway safety & we are rewarding it all summer long! 🚲🍦🛴🍨🛹🪪🛼

Today, May 15, 2026 is National Peace Officers Memorial Day.

Today, we remember and honor the law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to others.

Today, we remember that those who wear the badge choose a life of service, responsibility, and dedication to others without hesitation - with the courage and willingness to give everything in the line of duty to their communities.

We stand in remembrance of the fallen officers who will never be forgotten. We stand with their survivors, who continue to honor their lives every day.
