Brooklyn Park SWAT High-Risk Search Warrant

On 08/06/25, at approximately 2:00 am, members of the Brooklyn Park Police Department SWAT team served a high-risk search warrant in the 7900 block of Beard Ct. N. The warrant was at the request of Brooklyn Park PD Detectives, in relation to an ongoing investigation. Patrol officers were already in the area for a shots fired incident that was unrelated to the search warrant. As a result, patrol officers already had all occupants of the home detained prior to SWAT personnel arriving. SWAT officers conducted a search of the residence to ensure no further occupants were inside, and left the residence and occupants in the care of detectives on scene.

WHY THIS NETWORK EXISTS: Local leadership will not provide sufficient information to the public about incidents happening in our neighborhoods. Mainstream local media also will not cover the bulk of incidents happening in our neighborhoods.

For over 10 years, the Minneapolis Crime Watch network has been researching and reporting on crimes and cases you won't hear about anywhere else, as well as providing essential information about failures in our criminal justice system that you need to know about.
