“It’s been a long-standing partnership with the Mankato Department of Public Safety,” said Peterson. “That partnership resulted in three police officers designed to the school district. They spend most of their time at East, West, Central, and Prairie Wind.”

Mankato Public Safety warns of scammers
Mankato Public Safety warns of scammers By Kelsey Barchenger | December 18, 2020 at 1:21 PM CST - Updated December 18 at 1:21 PM
MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - Mankato Public Safety warns of a new scam circulating in the area.
Local authorities say scammers are using phone spoofing software to make it look like they are calling from the Mankato Department of Public Safety, even using staff names to advise victims to pay fines via MoneyPak. The scammer tells the victim they’ve missed a court date and have a warrant for their arrest.
“The government agencies are just not going to contact you over the phone and have you pay for any type of citation or warrant or anything like that by using a gift card or any type of electronic transaction typically,” says Chris Baukol, Commander-Strategic Response at the Mankato Department of Public Safety.
