Eden Prairie Police Department
The Eden Prairie Police Department was established on January 1, 1973, and has grown considerably since its early days with just six officers. The department now has 66 sworn officers and 30 civilian staff, with an annual budget of around $12 million. When officers make an arrest in Eden Prairie, the person goes to the Hennepin County Jail for booking. The police department keeps its own records -- incident reports, crash reports, body camera footage -- separate from the jail's booking data.
The department is located at the Eden Prairie City Center, 8080 Mitchell Road (First Floor), Eden Prairie, MN 55344. The non-emergency line runs 24 hours: 952-949-6200. A tipline is available at 952-949-8477 if you want to report information anonymously -- it is checked once daily. Fax: 952-949-6203. For in-person service, office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The police department's main page is at edenprairie.org. It links to records request forms, crime reports, the FAQ, and the department's annual report.

Requesting Eden Prairie Police Records
To request police records from the Eden Prairie Police Department, complete the Police Document Request Form. Mail the completed form to: Records Unit, Eden Prairie Police Department, 8080 Mitchell Road, Eden Prairie, MN 55344. You can also find the form and records information at edenprairie.org.
When submitting a request, include as much information as you can: the case number if you have it, the date and time the incident was reported, what type of incident it was, and where it happened. More detail speeds up the process. Missing information can cause delays while staff track down the right report.
The department classifies records under Minnesota's Government Data Practices Act. Public data -- including arrest information covered by Minn. Stat. 13.82 -- must be provided as soon as reasonably possible. Private and confidential data may require additional review before anything is released. Records tied to active investigations, juvenile subjects, or certain sensitive categories are handled differently than standard incident reports.
If you are requesting records about yourself, you are a data subject and may have access to information that outside requestors cannot get. The department's FAQ at edenprairie.org/faq answers common questions about data classifications and what to expect from the process.
Note: Include the case number, date, and incident type in your written request to the Records Unit -- incomplete requests can slow down the response significantly.
