The Hopkins Police Department understands the importance of establishing relationships within the community. The department also recognizes the importance of reaching out to youth in our community and creating positive social interactions with law enforcement in an effort to prevent and deter crime.
To help form these relationships, HPD partners with local businesses on different events throughout the year, such as Cops N Kids Fishing in June and Cops N Kids Shopping in December.
The Hopkins Police Department's Summer Youth Academy provides an opportunity for hands-on learning about law enforcement with local police.
Program activities include the introduction of life skills, the importance of community outreach, sports and games.
