To help officers and residents get to know each other, and to make it easier to work together and solve neighborhood issues, the EPPD is introducing a new program called Neighborhood Police Officers (NPOs). As part of the program, the department has assigned officers to specific neighborhoods throughout Eden Prairie. The NPOs will serve as primary contacts for community groups, neighborhood associations, businesses and residents within their assigned neighborhoods.

For example, if you have ongoing traffic or safety concerns, or you’d like help with a neighborhood issue, you can submit an email to NPO@edenprairie.org and you’ll receive a response from one of your NPOs. The same is true if you’d like to have an officer attend a neighborhood block party or homeowners association meeting. Our goal is to have the NPOs involved in as many activities in their assigned neighborhoods as possible.

Please note that this program does not take the place of emergency response, filing a police report or other routine calls for service. Due to the rotating schedule of our officers, it could take up to three days for a response. If you are having an emergency or wish to file a police report, please call 911.
