Their efforts, according to the Minneapolis Police Department, netted 104 arrests.

Rich Lee said in a written statement. Police promised "enhanced" DWI patrols through the end of 2013. According to police, drunk driving crashes accounted for 37 deaths and 106 serious injuries in Hennepin County from 2009 through 2011. 19,887 drivers were arrested for drunk driving in the …

Editor’s Note: Police Sgt. Michael Glassberg submitted the following guest column in the wake of last week’s tragedy. As we give pause to remember the victims in the recent school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, the Hopkins Police Department feels that it is important to let the community know about the partnership that exists between our agency and the local schools. For the past several years, the Hopkins Police Department and the Hopkins School District have planned, practiced and reviewed emergency plans, including school shootings and other types of threats.

No arrest has been made, but police believe a 20-year-old Hopkins man is responsible for the recent surge of burglaries and thefts from vehicles.
Police with multiple agencies are on the hunt for a Hopkins man they believe is responsible for a massive number of burglaries and thefts from vehicles in both Edina and Hopkins. Edina Police Det.

Hanlin is retiring with more than 30 years working for the Hopkins Police Department.
Police Capt. Tony Hanlin has more than 30 years working for the Hopkins Police Department. He started with the department as a reserve officer in 1977. Hanlin then became a police officer in 1981, a sergeant in 1987 and a captain in 2007. Over that stretch, he’s supervised everything from the SWAT Team to investigations. But that career will draw to a close when Hanlin retires at the end of the year. Police Chief Mike Reynolds and Hopkins City Council members took some time Tuesday to honor Hanlin for his service. “Capt. Hanlin is one of the most thoughtful and selfless supervisors that I’ve had the pleasure to work with over the years. I know this to also be true outside of work,” Reynolds said. “His character and leadership will be …
