Hibbing Police Department

Guided by the values of community, honor and valor, the Hibbing Police Department in Minnesota provides full-service policing 24 hours a day and is organized into patrol and investigation divisions, with patrol officers assigned to K-9 units. Residents with non-emergency questions can email the department, while immediate concerns, such as noise complaints or crimes residents see, should go to 911. Animal control officers look into animal complaints, enforce local ordinances and deal with dangerous animals during weekday business hours; injured strays and dangerous animals should be reported through 911. Under city rules, dogs older than six months must be vaccinated against rabies and carry a city license, dogs and cats may not run at large, owners must clean up after dogs on public property, and households are limited to four dogs over six months old per unit. The Range Youth Police Academy, free for students in grades 8 through 12, covers evidence handling, defensive tactics, radio use, conflict resolution, CPR and courtroom procedure, and it is planned to return in 2027. The department also posts its written policies on pursuits, use of force, body-worn cameras, license plate readers, eyewitness identification, racial profiling and missing persons.
