    EPLN Staff ReportsBy EPLN Staff ReportsOctober 4, 20231 Min Read

    The event is scheduled for Oct. 7 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Eden Prairie City Center, 8080 Mitchell Road.

    According to the Eden Prairie Police Department (EPPD) blog, each stuffed animal costs $20, with cash and credit card payments accepted. The toys are exclusively available at the open house and will not be for sale at the police department.

    The Eden Prairie Crime Prevention Fund has long provided financial support to various initiatives within the EPPD, including its K9 program. The fund’s contributions bolster not only the K9 unit but also other crime prevention and outreach efforts in the department.
