Lyndale Bike Cop Program
This summer the Lyndale Neighborhood Association will be working with the
Minneapolis Police Department on a Bike Cop program for the neighborhood.
The money we raise for this program goes to hire off-duty officers to patrol
the Lyndale neighborhood on bikes.
The Lyndale Bike Cop Program goes to help:
* Stop Crime
* Build trust between the police and the community
* Let criminals know they are not welcome in our neighborhood
Thanks to the generous support of Lyndale residents we raised over $6,000
for bike cops last year. This year we hope to raise even more. Every $45
dollars that we raise pays for one hour of patrol time.
The LNA board is also offering a special matching challenge to the
neighborhood this year to help get the 5th Precinct some new bikes for this
program and for officers to use during their regular patrol time. LNA will
match on a dollar to dollar basis up to $800 for new bikes for the 5th
precinct. We know it’s a lot to ask people to make an additional
contribution on top of their regular bike cop contribution, but we think it
is important that officers have good bikes to patrol the neighborhood
You should have received a letter asking you to donate to this year’s bike
cop program. We ask that you please consider sending your donation back by
Friday, July 10th or consider donating online here
