Community Safety

We regularly highlight safety strategies we can all consider to help keep ourselves and our neighbors safe. This month we are highlighting the City's 311 Department.

The 311 Department is the primary source of contact for the City. They provide a single access point for all non-emergency information and service requests.

Minneapolis residents, businesses and visitors can contact 311 to:

Find out about City services
Check the status of issues

To file a report with 311, all of the following should be true:

This is not an emergency situation.
You are not reporting the loss or theft of a firearm.
You are not reporting the actual theft of a vehicle.
The incident happened within Minneapolis city limits.
No weapon was used.
No one was injured.

Ways you can contact 311:
