Last Thursday night two EPPD Reserve Officers graduated from a six-week Reserve School hosted by the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office. Reserves Nicholas Berg and Todd Stoltenberg received instruction in a number of subjects including crime scenes, Police K-9, Water Patrol, officer safety and law enforcement organization.

New Reserve Officers also attend traffic directing school and first-aid, CPR and AED certification classes. In addition Eden Prairie Reserves must complete a monthly department-specific training and complete a training manual.

Reserves are volunteer members of the community who assist officers with emergencies, community events and other special details. The Reserve Unit is currently recruiting new members. If you are interested in joining this dedicated group of volunteers, learn more and complete the application on the Police Department Volunteer Opportunities website.

Congratulations to Reserve Officers Berg and Stoltenberg!
