MPD Fifth Precinct Open House 5/16/2018

By

MPD 5th Precinct (3101 Nicollet Ave S), serving SouthWest Minneapolis, will hold their annual open house on Wednesday, May 16th from 5-7pm.

In recognition of National Police Week (May 13-18), each of the City’s police precincts is opening its doors and inviting neighbors to drop by to meet officers, crime prevention specialists and the precinct commander. Visitors will be able to tour the stations, take a look at police squad cars and emergency equipment, watch demonstrations of law enforcement techniques, view exhibits, pick up crime prevention information and enjoy free snacks.

Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
