Investigations

The Investigative Division is responsible for the investigation of crimes and preparation of cases for criminal prosecution.

This division is supervised by a Lieutenant and includes two Sergeants, four Detectives, two School Resource Officers, one officer assigned to the Minnesota Financial Crimes Task Force and one officer assigned to the Southwest Hennepin Drug Task Force.

Edina detectives are active in professional associations related to their areas of expertise, and routinely receive advanced training in areas such as commercial and street crimes, juvenile investigations, financial crime and vulnerable adult crime.

After a report of criminal activity is taken, a Detective Sergeant reads and assesses it for possible assignment to a Detective. The Detective develops and/or follows up on leads and evidence and interviews witnesses and suspects. Photo line-ups, search warrants, subpoenas and confidential informants are among the tools a detective may use to compile a case for presentation to the City or County Attorney for possible charging. Contrary to what is depicted on television crime shows, much of the work of Investigations is conducted on the phone and computer.

In a typical year, over 400 juvenile arrests will be processed through the Division, and approximately 500 cases will be investigated, including robbery, assault, child abuse, burglary, sex crimes and financial crimes.

For more information about the Investigations Division, contact Lt. Mike Nibbe, 952-826-0477. For more details about crime in Edina, see our Crime Statistics.
