As the high school boys gear up for a showdown on the ice at the Xcel Energy Center, the Saint Paul Police Department is skating into action to ensure a safe and secure environment for fans and athletes alike. With hockey sticks and pucks set to fly tonight, local law enforcement isn't just playing defense against potential safety threats; they're also looking to recruit some fresh faces to their team, as per the Saint Paul Police Department.
In a social media post shared by the department, they laid out their game plan: "The Saint Paul Police Department is committed to ensuring the safety of tonight's high school boys hockey tournament."
According to the Saint Paul Police Department, they're eager to connect with the community on a different playing field. "We’re also excited to offer recruitment opportunities for those interested in joining our team," the post reads, signaling a dual effort to maintain safety and strengthen their workforce.
The recruitment pitch won't be happening on the sidelines, either. The police have set up their table right in the thick of the action, located in front of section 103, practically an assist away from concession stands and the buzz of the crowd.
