The May 19 Catalytic Converter Marking Event hosted by the EPPD has filled. There may be additional marking events scheduled in the future.

If you were unable to register for the event, the City is also participating in the State of Minnesota's Catalytic Converter Theft Prevention Program Pilot which gives vehicle owners the ability to self-apply permanent, unique labels to their catalytic converters.

Quantities are limited and the kits are available for Eden Prairie residents only at the EPPD front desk during business hours. Before arriving to claim a kit, you are encouraged to take a photo of your vehicle’s VIN and license plate. Front desk staff will assist you with the required registration form.

Here a some tips to help prevent catalytic converter theft:

• Always take your vehicle's key with you
• Close and lock all windows and doors when you leave your vehicle
• Whenever possible, park in well-lit areas
• Never leave valuables in your vehicle
• More prevention information is available on the National Insurance Crime Bureau website
