I know this is a MN board, but I just heard some good news and wanted to share. Across the river in Hudson, the local PD is going to set up a 24/7 "satellite office" inside the Hudson prairie Elementary/Hudson Middle School building.
It's a win win for everyone since now the police has two locations to write reports, do departmental stuff, and be spread out more around the town, so response time will be faster for other calls. Plus now there will be a police presence at the school. This has been voted unanimously by the town of Hudson and the school board.
As a parent of two middle schoolers, I'm very happy for this, and my only hope is that in the future, they somehow set up something at the high school where I think the need is even greater.
