- How can I get fingerprinted?

Fingerprinting services are available on Wednesday evenings between 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the Edina Police Department by appointment only based on the next available opening only. Times cannot be selected. Services are only available to Edina residents or teachers. Bring proof of residency and/or proof of employment (for Edina Public Schools). There is a $15 fee for the first card, $5 for each additional card. All applicants must wear facial masks during the appointment and will be asked a series of screening questions prior to the fingerprinting being conducted.

- Does the City have an alarm policy?
-
We have no permit requirements. Alarm subscribers are assessed a fee for each false alarm to which the Police Department responds. A false alarm is defined by the responding officer as one in which an alarm was activated and the cause of the activation was not criminal activity. The fee for the first false alarm is $25; the second, third and fourth alarms in the calendar year are $110 each. The fifth and subsequent alarms in a calendar year are billed at $200.
For other alarm questions, call Brittany Kramer during business hours at 952-826-0474.
