  Posted 2.18.2009
  Starting in 2009, the Medina Police Department will be establishing a crime alert network for the residents and business owners of Medina. The Department is asking that you send an email to Medina Police if you are interested in being on the list for any crime alert information.
  
  In the recent past, Medina had a suspicious male, driving a van, approach a child and offer him a ride home. In another area of the city, Medina has been experiencing automobile break-ins and burglaries. Medina Police desires to instantly notify residents, by email, of particular a crime or crimes occurring in their neighborhoods. This information would be put out directly to residents to take necessary precautions and assist Medina Police in reporting any suspicious activity.
  
  If you are interested in this program, please send an email to anne@ci.medina.mn.us. In the subject line put “Crime Alert Network”. Please include your name, address and phone number in your email. Your email address will be added to the list for the crime alerts. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Medina Police Department at 763-473-9209.
