EAGAN, (MN) — Community members are invited to attend a free Police Car Technology Demonstration and Criminal Justice orientation night hosted by Rasmussen College on Wednesday, May 9th at 6:00 p.m.

An Eagan Police Officer will give a brief overview of a career in policing at the Criminal Justice orientation night at Rasmussen College. Attendees will also find out what job, volunteer and internship opportunities are available to students and professionals in the Criminal Justice field and will have the opportunity to see some of the hands on items used in the profession.
