Crime Prevention

RING - Neighbors Public Safety Service

Free Gun Lock Kits

West Hennepin Public Safety strives to keep the citizens of Maple Plain and Independence safe and up-to-date with current trends and technology. In May of 2016, WHPS received a community partnership grant from Center Point Energy for a moveable speed detection sign. The speed sign can be programmed to flash at different speeds and also has the ability to collect speed and traffic flow data.

If you would like to request the sign be placed in a problem area please contact WHPS.

West Hennepin Public Safety officers work extremely hard trying to prevent crime but do not do it alone. West Hennepin regularly receives tips from concerned citizens that may see something out of the ordinary that West Hennepin officers have not yet seen. Often times tips leed to arrests including drunk drivers, seizures of narcotics and damage to property. Educating citizens with crime prevention information has helped West Hennepin solve many cases.

Please contact our office or if the issue is a life safety concern call 911 .

5% of kids 12-17 and 14% of young adults 18-25 abuse prescription drugs most of which are found unused in your medicine cabinet. Keep your friends & family safe from these powerful medications by properly disposing of unused prescription drugs in your home.
