The St. Louis Park police and public works departments will host a catalytic converter theft deterrent marking event May 2, 2 – 6 p.m. at the Municipal Service Center. Vehicles will be put on a vehicle lift and the catalytic converter will be etched and spray painted by a mechanic. Each participant will receive a window sticker stating the car has a marked catalytic converter.

Interested residents must first complete an event interest form which will be available April 11 at 10 a.m. to April 12 at 4 p.m. Those that complete the interest form will be placed into a lottery drawing, where 72 residents will be selected at random to attend the event. Those chosen through the lottery drawing will receive a confirmation email on April 16 with a link to select a time slot to attend the event. Those not selected are encouraged to apply for future marking events, which will be shared through city communications channels.

Visit the Things to Do page to complete the interest form starting April 11 at 10 a.m.

The event is free of charge to St. Louis Park residents. Registration is required; no walk-ins will be accepted.
