The Jordan Police Department takes part in the following events:
Night to Unite
  • Night to Unite is held annually on the first Tuesday in August.
  • Night to Unite was developed to:
    • Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness
    • Generate support for and participation in local anti-crime programs
    • Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police community partnerships
    • Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back
  • Night to Unite provides an excellent opportunity for all of Jordan’s residents to come together for this great cause. Community engagement builds trust and aids in reducing criminal activity.
  • Registered block parties occur between 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. and will be visited by representatives of the Jordan Police and Fire departments, Ridgeview Ambulance Services, and other public safety organizations.
  • Block captains are responsible for organizing a block party on the night of the event. Block parties can be as small or large as the captains can manage and are typically a pot-luck or an inexpensive cookout promoting neighborhood spirit.
  • If you are interested in coordinating a block party, there are 2 easy ways to become involved:
    • Contact Jordan Police Department Records staff by email: jpdrecords@jordanmn.gov
    • Call the Jordan Police Department during regular business hours at 952-492-2009
  • The registration deadline is Friday, July 25th and registration is required for visits from the Jordan Police Department and other public safety organizations.
Let’s make a positive impact on crime and support our community during Night to Unite on Tuesday, August 5th, 2025. Please remember to display your outdoor lights during this event.

Kindergarten Safety Demo
  • The Jordan Police Department hosts what we call “Kindergarten Safety Demonstration.”  We invite the following agencies to attend: Jordan Fire Department, Scott County Sheriff’s Office, Benjamin Bus, Ridgeview Ambulance, and the Jordan Police Department.  We utilize an area in the back of the elementary school and set up “stations” for each agency in attendance.  Students would spend 15 minutes at each station discussing safety tips, doing a demonstration, or seeing the equipment that a particular agency uses in their line of duty.
  • This event is designed to go over some safety tips for the children covering a wide array of subjects, such as: bicycle safety, fire safety, animal safety, and electrical safety (to name a few).  They also learn what they should and should not do when they hear emergency sirens.  The program helps teach children not to be frightened by the police, and to realize that the police department is there to help in many different situations.
