The Edina Police Department is reminding residents to “Lock Around the Clock” following recent thefts from vehicles. These crimes often happen quickly and opportunistically, especially when valuables are left visible inside parked vehicles. Help reduce your chances of becoming a victim by remembering “TIME”: T – Take your keys with you I – In your car, don’t leave valuables visible M – Make sure all windows and doors are locked E – Even when you’re home, close your garage doors Additional reminders to help prevent vehicle-related thefts: • Remove bags, purses, backpacks and electronics from plain sight • Park in well-lit areas when possible • Never leave firearms in unattended vehicles • Report suspicious activity immediately by calling 911 Even a quick stop can be enough time for a theft to occur. Please help spread the "Lock Around the Clock" message to neighbors, friends and family!

City offices are closed today, May 25, in observance of Memorial Day, a day to remember those who have died in service to our country. Administrative services at the Police & Fire Departments are unavailable today. If you have an emergency, call 911. Our public safety team is ready to help you 24 hours a day!

As Police Week comes to a close, we reflect on the meaning behind the badge and honor the sacrifice, courage and commitment carried by law enforcement officers every day. We remember those who gave their lives in service, those who continue to serve with integrity, and the families who support them through it all. This week, Edina officers stood guard at the Minnesota Peace Officers Memorial, honoring fallen officers and their lasting legacy. Edina officers also represented the City at National Police Week events in Washington, D.C., where they provided motorcycle escorts for the families of fallen officers. To Edina officers, staff, volunteers and community partners: thank you for your dedication and service. And to our community, thank you for your trust and support. Police Week may end today, but the remembrance and gratitude continue every day after.

As part of National Police Week, our final “Police Week Profile” feature is Officer Cameron Stewart. Stewart joined the Edina Police Department as a cadet in 2024 and was promoted to officer in 2025. Before coming to Edina, he served in the U.S. Marine Corps and later worked as a security officer while completing his Law Enforcement degree at Hennepin Technical College. Stewart shared that one of the things he enjoys most about policing is that every day is different and brings new opportunities to help people and connect with the community. “I think it’s important for people to see officers as humans with families, thoughts and feelings,” he said. “We have a strong desire to serve others and help people when they need it most.” Stewart said he always knew he wanted to become a police officer and was immediately drawn to Edina after learning more about the department while attending school in Minnesota. His favorite place in Edina is Arneson Acres because he visited this park with his wife before they were engaged. Thank you to Officer Cameron Stewart, and all other Edina officers, for their service to our community! #PoliceWeek2026

As part of National Police Week, we’re continuing our “Police Week Profiles” series to get to know the officers behind the badge. Next up is Detective Joel Moore, who joined the Edina Police Department in 2001. Throughout his career, Moore has served as a patrol officer, field training officer, SWAT operator and retail crime investigator before joining the Financial Crimes Task Force. He was promoted to Detective in 2016 and primarily investigates a variety of crimes, including burglaries, robberies, shootings, suspicious deaths and homicide cases. Moore shared that one of the things he enjoys most about investigations is putting the puzzle pieces together to solve cases. Over the course of his career, he has seen technology dramatically change police work — from handwritten reports early in his career to modern tools like drones, cell phone data and license plate reader technology that help investigators solve crimes more quickly and effectively. He also reflected on the emotional weight that can come with investigative work and the lasting impact certain cases can have on officers throughout their careers. “This job can take a toll on you over time,” Moore said. “There are cases that stay with you. Police Week is an important time to recognize the sacrifices officers make and honor those who gave their lives serving others.” Thank you to Detective Joel Moore for his nearly 25 years of service and dedication to the Edina community! #PoliceWeek2026

Jepson said having access to wellness resources and support from department leadership is critical to helping officers stay healthy both on and off duty throughout their careers. “Keep thanking officers when you see them in public,” Jepson said. “They’re sacrificing a piece of themselves for you. It’s the best job in the world, but it takes a special kind of person to do this work.” Thank you to Sgt. Emily Jepson for her service and dedication to the Edina community! #PoliceWeek2026
