Uniforms help identify City staff who are performing official duties.
No one in a City uniform will ever ask for your immigration status or participate in federal immigration enforcement activities. Our officers do not wear masks to conceal their identity.
Mendota Heights Patrol Officers wear dark blue uniforms that include a badge and a department patch, as shown to the right. Administrative staff may occasionally be dressed in plain clothes rather than a uniform; however, they will carry official identification identifying them as Mendota Heights Police Officers.
