Building neighborhood

St. Louis Park contains 35 neighborhoods. Many of those neighborhoods have organized neighborhood associations. Learn more about neighborhoods and neighborhood associations.

Neighborhood Watch

Neighborhood Watch is a voluntary program aimed at reducing your likelihood of becoming a crime victim. It teaches simple and proven crime prevention techniques and help build relationships between neighborhood residents and the St. Louis Park Police Department. Block captains help maintain the safety and wellbeing of their neighborhood by coordinating Neighborhood Watch activities for their block.

Community involvement

In an ongoing effort to keep people safe and to improve relationships between police officers and the public, the St. Louis Park Police Department offers various community outreach activities and programs for adults and youth. While COVID-19 has prevented many of these activities from happening in 2020, we look forward to a time when we can once again provide these outreach opportunities.

For more information, visit the community outreach page.

Reporting a problem in the city

Submit reports of lost property, theft, theft from a vehicle and vandalism through our online incident reporting tool. Community members are encouraged to submit non-emergency incidents online, and a police officer will follow up after the incident is submitted. Emergencies and incidents in progress should be reported to 911.

For non-police related items, like reporting a pothole, use the mystlouispark app.

Hands-only CPR

While the St. Louis Park Fire Department is not currently offering its hands-only CPR training classes in person, watch the video to learn more about this important skill. Once they resumes, hands-only CPR training classes are available for those ages 15 and over (an adult or guardian must be present with participants age 15 – 17).

PulsePoint

St. Louis Park residents are invited to participate in PulsePoint, a smart phone app that allows CPR-trained citizens to provide lifesaving assistance to nearby victims of sudden cardiac arrest.

Stop the bleed

The St. Louis Park Fire Department offers a free 90-minutes class where you will gain the ability to recognize life threatening bleeding and to act quickly and effectively to control bleeding in a serious injury.

Lockbox device

The fire department, upon request, will provide a secure key lockbox to any resident in the city who may have concerns that in case of emergency, they may not be able to reach the door to let in first responders.
