Honoring Those That Serve on National Police Woman Day!

National Police Woman Day shines a light on the invaluable contributions of female police officers every September 12. This day celebrates their dedication to enforcing law and order, often in challenging circumstances. Join us in acknowledging their courage, advocating for greater representation, and exploring ways to support women in law enforcement.

***Update*** Our friend was brought to the Otter Lake Animal Care Shelter to be looked over properly until reunited with their owner. Thanks for looking!

Okay, this is a new one...we found a bird near the 3800 block of Prairie Road! Although we don't mind it hanging out, we're guessing the owner would like it back. Please be prepared to show proof of ownership. If you are the owner, or know of them, please contact WBLPD. Thanks!

Today, we remember Minnesota State Patrol Trooper Ted Foss, who was struck and killed by a passing vehicle while conducting a traffic stop on August 31, 2000.

His story reminds us why Minnesota’s Move Over Law matters. Drivers, remember:

➡️ If you’re on a road with two or more lanes going the same direction, move over one full lane when approaching a stopped authorized, stalled, or disabled vehicle with hazard lights activated.

➡️ If you can’t safely move over, slow down.

➡️ The law also requires drivers to move over or slow down when people are visibly outside a vehicle on or next to the roadway.

When you move over, you’re helping protect the people who work to keep our roads and communities safe. Moving over helps everyone get home safely!

Congratulations, Officer Connor Dillon!

We are proud to recognize Officer Connor Dillon, who was named a 2026 Metro DWI Enforcer All-Star by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety!

Connor joined fellow DWI All-Stars from across Minnesota at Target Field, where they were recognized during today's Minnesota Twins game for their outstanding efforts to keep impaired drivers off our roads.

This recognition represents more than enforcement numbers—it represents crashes prevented, lives potentially saved, and a continued commitment to making our community and Minnesota roadways safer.

Please join us in congratulating Officer Dillon on this well-deserved recognition!
