2023 City of Shakopee Budget

2023 Annual Budget

Police Department

Division: Category: Public Safety

Description of Services:

It is the mission of the Shakopee Police Department to provide service with integrity and professionalism, to protect citizens through enforcement of the law and to work in partnership with our community to enhance the quality of life in the City of Shakopee. The primary services of the Police Department are heavily focused on safety. This includes the prevention of crimes and hazards through education and citizen involvement; the timely response to life threatening, hazardous, suspicious, or in progress criminal activity; followed by the investigation of these events to prevent their reoccurrence, seek prosecution, and reassure the community of its safety. Shakopee is home to many large entertainment venues. These attractions bring millions of people to our city every year and help make Shakopee the great city it is. That said, these attractions also add to the significant workload our department has. Over 70% of people arrested are not from Shakopee. We saw a substantial change in those numbers when these venues were either closed or limited in capacity during Covid, demonstrating the true impact they have on our workload. As many police departments are confronted with recruitment and retention issues, we have been able to adapt and maintain our authorized staffing level. As law enforcement has been confronted with unique challenges over the last couple of years, we have been able to keep the crime rate at a historic low.
