On April 2nd a call came in for a suicidal male at Robert Trail above Highway 62. Working as one team the male was safely brought down and transported to the hospital for medical care. Today the Minnesota State Patrol recognized 6 officers and 4 firefighters from Inver Grove Heights Police and Inver Grove Height Fire for providing significant service to the State Patrol that day. Congratulations to all and great team work!
