Department Updates If you would like to sign up for our House Check Program, click here for the form you will need to sign. New to our website ,,, the INCIDENT CRIME REPORTS (ICR's) from our Deephaven Police Department. These ICR's are available to the local newspapers for publication, but ours do not appear with any regularity. One thing we want to clarify is that incident address locations are usually block numbers, not specific addresses. As always, if you have any questions about the report, please contact our Police Department.
DEEPHAVEN/WOODLAND RESIDENTS October 2007 The Deephaven Police Department has started a new program for its Senior Citizens. The program is called the Senior Citizen Information Program and it was constructed to better serve the seniors of Deephaven and Woodland. The program is designed to check on the well being of seniors during or after an emergency, such as a severe storm, tornado, power outages, medicals, etc. If you are interested in the program, forms are available at the Deephaven Police Department or at the South Shore Center in Shorewood. The program is optional and participants may remove themselves at any time. If you have any questions about this program please contact the Deephaven Police Department at (952) 474-7555.
New Police Cars The police car fleet has a new look. You will now see two 2005 Ford Expeditions added to our fleet which replace a van, a jeep, our Chief’s car and a forfeited vehicle.

THE LEGAL LIMIT IS .08, DON’T BLOW IT From 1999 to 2003 in Hennepin County, there were 95 alcohol-related traffic deaths. The economic impact of these incidents cost Hennepin County $96,770,000. “Practicing for a road-side sobriety test is not the way to avoid a DWI,” says Chief Virgil Gustafson. “Impaired drivers cause too many tragedies and we intend to take them off the road with this effort.” Young persons continue to be the primary violators of impaired driving. In 2004, more than 29 percent of DWIs in Hennepin County were committed by persons in their early 20s and those under the legal drinking age. These groups accounted for nearly 11,000 DWI’s statewide, as well as a majority of first-time offenders. Minnesota was the last state in the union to enforce the 0.08 limit. In other states, the 0.08 law has been a factor in decreasing alcohol-related crashes, deaths and severe injuries. Wisconsin has seen nearly a 2 percent decrease in alcohol-related crashes and almost a 14 percent decrease in alcohol-related fatalities. Deephaven Police remind motorists the safest solution is to have a plan before imbibing: use alternative transportation, designate a sober driver, call for a cab or a friend, take the bus, or stay the night at the location of the celebration. Safe & Sober is funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The program is designed to reduce traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries.
