Identifying a Maple Grove Police Officer
In light of the tragic loss and harm against our state lawmakers involving a police impersonator in Champlin and Brooklyn Park on June 14, 2025, the Maple Grove Police Department wants to ensure our community knows how to confidently recognize our officers. Please see the attached photographs that illustrate our police officer uniform and police vehicle.

Probably one of the last photos if not the last photo of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, taken last night at the DFL's Humphrey-Mondale Dinner, which someone described to me as the "DFL prom."

I am in a safe place. I am broken hearted and shaken by the senseless act taken against Rep Hortman and Sen Hoffman and their families. Melissa was a great public servant and her exceptional leadership brought the state of Minnesota progress despite crises of our lifetime.

My heart goes out to the families and friends of Speaker Hortman and Sen Hoffman. My hope and prayers are for a speedy recovery to Sen Hoffman and his wife. I know the families of Speaker Hortman and her husband Mark are in great pain today, it is my hope their love & memories will live forever.
My entire elected life has been in service in partnership with John and Melissa, they were always there to take calls and support the needs of our community. They are and were true partners and public servants in every way!!!

Senator John Hoffman and his wife were shot multiple times but are expected to survive.

Heartbroken over the deaths of Rep Melissa Hortman & her husband Mark, and the critical conditions of Sen John Hoffman & his wife Yvette.
They are more than dear friends, but also some of the greatest public servants I have ever known.
Violence has no place in our democracy.

I saw @melissahortman last night as she was leaving the Humphrey Mondale dinner. She was wearing a pant suit, smiling and strolling purposefully out of the room the way someone fully in their power does. This is how I will remember her. Rest in peace, Speaker!
