Operation: Etch and Catch

The Shakopee Police Department is hosting an event called Operation: Etch and Catch on April 16 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in its front parking lot (475 Gorman St, Shakopee).

At this free event, officers will get under vehicles and mark catalytic converters with spray paint and will etch the vehicle’s license plate number in hopes of deterring would be thieves. Officers will also attach a heat-resistant sticker, informing criminals that the catalytic converter has been etched.

The etched plate number and paint will help police officers determine the origin of stolen catalytic converters on traffic stops. In addition, Shakopee Police will send out a statewide message to scrap dealers encouraging them not to purchase etched or spray-painted catalytic converters.

 Pre-registration is REQUIRED AND MANDATORY. Only those residents that have pre-registered will be accepted. To schedule an appointment and for further details on the event, please contact Nicole Clifton at 952-233-9441 or NClifton@shakopeemn.gov.

Submission Guidelines

Eligible organizations may request that the city promote events using city communication tools. Events must be open to the public and community oriented. Posting of event information is based on available space and available staff resources to make the posting. A request to display an event does not guarantee that it will be posted. 

Eligible organizations are government organizations; Shakopee-based, not-for-profit or nonprofit entities; and city-recognized service organizations and athletic associations affiliated with the Shakopee Parks and Recreation Department. 

City staff will not be responsible for the design of promotional materials. Ongoing or recurring events (i.e. monthly or weekly events) will not be posted. The city reserves the right to edit message information for space, clarity or content. If the city requires edits, city staff will inform the individual making the request.
