Join us for year 4 on Lake Minnetonka for Cops & Bobbers! The event will be held on Tuesday, July 14th, 2026. Pickup will be at 9:00 a.m. at Maynards’ docks in Excelsior. We only have enough room for 12 kids. As we want to make sure that all have an opportunity to participate, space will be initially given to new registrants up until July 1. After that date, all registrations will be accepted. We look forward to spending a day on the lake with you!

To register please call us at 952.474.3261 & ask to speak to our Community Outreach Coordinator, Laura Holtan.

Officers work a 2-on-2-off; 5-on-5-off schedule. 11 hour shift times and every other weekend off.
