Members of the Eden Prairie Police Department recently braved the rain to run three miles through Eden Prairie, proudly carrying the Special Olympics Minnesota torch. We received the torch from our friends at the Minnetonka Police Department and after a dedicated run, passed it on to two inspiring Special Olympics athletes at the Eden Prairie Center. Throughout the day, the torch journeyed to Stillwater Area High School, lighting the way for the 2024 Special Olympics Summer Games. 🕯️🏅 Police departments have a unique relationship with the Special Olympics, serving as guardians of the "Flame of Hope." The EPPD is honored to be part of this annual tradition, supporting and celebrating these incredible athletes. We're already looking forward to next year!

Life can get so busy, and sometimes we need to slow down, take a deep breath and have a good stretch! At the City, employee well-being is a top priority. That's why we offer a variety of opportunities and award-winning wellness programs for our team year-round, including free weekly yoga sessions led by Community Center yoga instructors. These lunchtime classes are more than just a chance to relax and unwind (although, let's be honest, that's a welcome perk!). The improved flexibility and sharpened focus we gain from these sessions leaves us feeling refreshed, energized and ready to tackle the rest of our day. #YogaLife #Wellness #EPCareers
