📚📕ＴＨＥＹ ＧＲＯＷ ＵＰ ＳＯ ＦＡＳＴ...📕📚

It’s SRO Morgan’s FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

We’re not sure who was more nervous this morning — Morgan or the rest of us — but he bravely put on his brand-new backpack, grabbed his Batman 🦇 lunch box, and headed off for another big year.

Before we sent him on his way, we went over the rules:
✅ - Listen to your teachers
✅ - Use your inside voice
✅ - Keep your hands to yourself
✅ - Don’t run in the hallways
✅ - Don’t trade your entire lunch for a Fruit Roll-Up
✅ - Remember where you put your backpack

His lunch is packed, his shoes are tied, and yes, we wrote his name on everything just in case. 💙

If you see SRO Morgan at school today, please be extra kind. It’s a big day for our little guy.

We can’t wait to hear what he learned when he gets home.

And, obviously, his wife made him pose for a first day of school picture. His mom would have been furious if we forgot.

Have a great school year, kids!

🚨👶WELL… THAT WASN’T IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION. 👶🚨

Officer Heiller has responded to plenty of calls during his career, but this one came with a very special delivery. And no, we’re not talking DoorDash.

Officer Heiller can officially add a new skill to his résumé: baby delivery!

On August 17, Officer Heiller responded to a call that turned out to be a little different from the usual police work. With no time to wait for a trip to the hospital, he assisted with the first baby delivery of his law enforcement career!

We’re happy to report that baby made a grand entrance—with Officer Heiller there to help welcome our community’s newest little resident. 🍼❤️

We checked his job description.

Baby delivery is not in there.

We checked his academy training.

Pretty sure it wasn’t there either.

But when dispatch sends you to a call, apparently you just never know if you’ll be writing a report… or helping to deliver a baby.

Congratulations to the family—and nice work, Officer Heiller! We have a feeling this is one call you won’t forget anytime soon.

To Protect. To Serve. And apparently....Deliver!

Good afternoon, Isanti!

Let's talk about a recent hot topic:
⚠️E-bikes and E-scooters⚠️

Attached are four images that will help everyone to better understand:
✅ - How they're classified
✅ - Who can ride
✅ - Requirements for riding

The basic jist:
🛴 - In all instances, riders must be at least 12 years old
🚲 - Only e-bikes are allowed on sidewalks
⚠️ - Helmets are only required for e-scooter riders under the age of 18, however, we recommend them for everyone for obvious reasons

We want to ensure the safety of all riders in the city, so please take a moment to review the attachments.

Special thanks to our amazing prosecutors at GDO Law
